hello, thank you! i am totally unfamiliar with both of your characters and their canons, but i think maccready getting to meet a real life cosmonaut will be so exciting for him. he's not well-educated by any means, but he is a fan of the in-universe comics, one of which follows captain cosmos and his space adventures! (also... there are aliens, but i haven't decided if maccready knows that yet.)

he'll likely be very reluctant to talk about his son initially, but it's something i'd love to get into at some point, especially with how much the game falls short in that respect imo.

Captain Cosmos! That's really cute, and Konstantin is very ~Posterchild Hero for his time / culture, so he certainly knows how to enjoy the limelight l m a o. He would be thrilled to be met with any amount of excitement from someone, especially with freshly becoming host to the alien and subsequently being treated like a lab rat when he was previously revered by his country....! How easily even Heroes can be discarded....

And he comes with a lot of Guilts and Complications about his own son, so he's also pretty reluctant to bring him up (tl;dr version is that he didn't actually know about his kid until very recently, and made plans to go rescue him from an orphanage right before the whole alien situation happened...) So if an opportunity for Son Talks does come up somehow, there could be some interesting (and sad) potential. I definitely look forward to seeing how they go no matter what!

oh, no. i wish i could say maccready could relate to the experience of being revered and then suddenly reviled, but his role as kid mayor and then inevitably being kicked out of a weird child commune doesn't come close lmao. this all just makes me more interested in your guy though!!

ah, the Guilts and Complications... maccready knows them well. his situation is a different beast to konstantin's, and even if he's reluctant, getting home to his son is absolutely going to be his driving force. but i don't think it changes the core of it: son talks will definitely be sad (but sad dad is by far my favourite flavour of dad, so—) i need to keep an eye on posts, so these two get a chance to meet, though given current happenings it might be a tense one... oop
