    Summary

    Simon Aebischer has spent the last several years since being released from prison hiding from his past and quietly working toward his PhD. He has his lab, and his weird, fucked-up strand of mutated algae, and a promise he's made to himself to put something good back into the world after everything he's done. He's always assumed that "good" would take the form of meaningful contributions to marine botanical research that might, if he's lucky, do something to help their warming planet.

    But then the planet stops warming. It starts to freeze. There's life in the universe besides humanity, and it's going to kill them.

    Now there's a woman with red hair telling him he's going to be working on some kind of project. She tells him it's not optional, but he would've gladly gone anyways. He wants to do anything he can to help.

    And anything to learn more about the kind-eyed microbiologist the woman dragged along with her to kidnap him from his lab.

    Summary

    Jacob Stratt wasn't even born when the Hail Mary launched on its journey to Tau Ceti.

    When he was six, his mother left one ordinary morning for work—and never returned.

    When he was twelve, he saw her again. Only this time, with handcuffs around her wrists: branded a fugitive, standing trial for the murder of a man named Ryland Grace, and for crimes against humanity.

    That was the last time he ever saw her.

    When he was twenty-six, he watched the news as the beetles from humanity's final Hail Mary returned, carrying with them the hope of a solution. In less than a decade, die Sonne returned to her full luminescence.

    Then, in 2074, shortly after the impossible return of the Hail Mary and its passengers, there is a knock at his door.

    Dr. Jacob Stratt already has an inkling of who it might be.

     

    (Or: What if, Shawn Hatosy were StrattLand's consequences from their secret third thing?)
