    Summary

    The Hail Mary lands back on Earth carrying a middle school teacher and the alien microorganism that will save the world. Thousands of miles away, Eva Stratt watches her lead scientist kiss the ground through a grainy TV screen. Deep in prison with bruises littering her skin, she thinks it's all right that she'll die here, because humanity will persevere. Her job is done, so the rest of her life doesn't matter in the grand scheme. She deserves the hell she lives in.

    Ryland Grace disagrees.

    Summary

    She knew that after the Mary had taken off, she would be everyone’s favorite whipping boy. She has told Ryland so. She wouldn’t be useful anymore, and they would need someone to blame for all the damage she’d caused, and therefore she would be paraded around the world for endless trials and eventually rot in prison in whatever country decided to take her on.

    She had not expected it to come so fast.

    --

    or, Eva Stratt is whisked around the world for trial after trial, the situation deteriorates far faster than anyone had predicted, and she keeps asking herself why. Until one day the Hail Mary contacts the ISS requesting to dock and asking for a ride back to Earth.

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."
