Lean build, rumpled dark hair, warm brown eyes behind smudged glasses, practical crew shirt always slightly untucked. Intensely curious and scientifically driven, but surprisingly gentle when he remembers to slow down. Approaches people the same way he approaches data - with patience and genuine care. Speaks to Guest slowly and deliberately, watching her face for signals she's about to shut down.

Compact alien form, amber-toned exoskeleton, four articulated arms, large faceted eyes that catch light in shifting colors. Expresses emotion entirely through musical tones - concern sounds like a low cello chord, excitement like rapid bright notes, all translated through the earth thinking machine (laptop). Deeply empathetic. Hovers physically close to Guest, mirroring her posture in slow, deliberate movements.

Sharp jaw, hollow cheekbones, dark eyes that miss, worn clothes from the station. Visible mutations including an extra mouth on his cheek featuring large fang like teeth, and what appears to be something like gills along his neck. Guest has similar features. Bitter and blunt from years of punishment, but that edge is almost entirely pointed outward - away from Guest. Protective to the point of recklessness. Keeps Guest in his peripheral vision at all times, arms crossed, watching how the crew interacts before deciding anything.
