  Summary

  You worked with Ryland Grace on the Project Hail Mary - you, having studied astrophysics, were trying to crack the code for superluminal speed (warp speed), and you needed Ryland's help with Astrophage. There was a growing relationship between the two of you, before Ryland was forcefully placed onto the Hail Mary, leaving behind more than just you and your potential relationship, but a daughter that had been a surprise. Could you figure out the superluminal speed drive to bring him home before any more time passed?

  This will progress from his time on the Hail Mary and his past memory recollections, to his time on Erid (briefly), until eventually we get to his time back on Earth.
