I love the detail that they've sort of hacked two regular, human shirts together so Gharr can wear something. Pands probably aren't much of a problem, even if they need to bend at an extra joint, it'd just be a case of finidng some big and long enough.
What is that on the shirt? A Person with a joystick head using a joystick while being used as a joystick?
I didn't notice it before, but their eyes are the same color.
If she's around him a lot (which now seems likely, at least in public as he's "advising"), it will be fodder for the silly tabloids (the ones that are usually black and white that most people buy for the humorous ridiculousness) and the crazy conspiracy theorists (as opposed to the non-crazy conspiracy theorists, who have been proven right about a ridiculous number of things in the last few years).
Good idea Gharr. And yeah, Dan is... Dan and Mark, we already ask him too much.
Wonder if most people would have the chills when touched by an genuine Alien.
If Iskra does not, she has earned a A+ on my ledger.
That's one way to test if you're allergic to alien skin.
Also He's lucky that harmless to earthlings viruses didnt kill him
He is not lucky.

He's lucky that his nanites don't need once-every-week proximity to some Alliance ship's "medifield generators" for a power source. ;-)
They've lived in close proximity for some time, getting to know each other, and are, as best we can tell, genuine friends. That makes it much easier.
Of course, the very first thing they did was *carry him away when he was injured* (and probably had the equivalent of a concussion), so the whole "touching" thing was dealt with early.
