Project Hail Mary (SA)

SPECIALIZED AGENCY

The Sun is dimming. A microscopic organism called Astrophage is draining energy from stars, threatening all life on Earth. Scientist Ryland Grace has reached Tau Ceti aboard the Hail Mary, where he has met Rocky, an alien from the planet Erid whose star faces the same fate.

This committee will explore how to find a cure for Astrophage, build communication and trust between three very different species, and decide whether the newly arrived Cryos, suspected of spreading Astrophage, should be treated as enemies or partners.
