ALSO ALSO while I'm going off, we do all realise that Eva sending Grace to Tua Ceti wasn't just sending their best chance to Tau Ceti, but sending their Best Chance away from Earth???
Dr. Ryland Grace was her Second in command. He was the First Officer. He knew eveything she wanted done and how to do it, he had the authority, he had the following, he had the history of working on the Project.
He was the Tertiary Science Specialist, but he was her back up for Redundancy FIRST.
She was was arrested, she knew she would be. She didn't have time for that and she wasn't going to fight it. The plan was ABSOLUTELY for "Lap dog Puppy face" Grace "you staggering waste of carbon" GRACE to take over leadership in whatever capacity could be acheived, to convince and argue the world i to compliance.
Ryland would be subject to all the laws, he wouldnt have had full immunity to do just anything, and he wouldnt nessisarily do eveything Eva did. But he would have known her goals, her wants, and he would have done what he could to achieve those goals
So when she shot him into the fucking stratosphere, WHO the HELL was the Tertiary Stratt!?!?! Did she HAVE ONE!?
She saw that building blow with Annie and Martin inside, and she saw BOTH side of the operation, the Hail Mary's flight and the PLANET's more future in the meantime fucking crumble.
God some one give that woman a hug,
