In the Recapy context: Ryland wakes on the Hail Mary with amnesia and only gradually recovers his memories. As his memory returns he pieces together the ship’s purpose: investigate and stop the mysterious organism (Astrophage) that’s dimming the Sun and threatening Earth. He relies on his scientific know‑how—and unconventional, improvised thinking—to work toward that goal, and an alien engineer (Rocky) becomes a crucial partner in carrying out the mission.
