I was being lazy and pasted the images to the Discord server. I edited the posts and changed the links to point to my own server, so you should be able to see the images now.

Hopefully Alex remembers to act surprised when the rescue happens, or he's going to invite a whole lot of suspicion.

That said, waiting in a drifting shuttle seems like a potential moment for a time skip story wise, so we may wind up seeing the aftermath of this Umiak assault in the next few pages.

Clearly he must be some fleshy android made by the Umiak, his hot running battery has betrayed his nature, no Loroi is that HOT.

I wonder if this will happen with the other races.

I have an image of a Barsom sleeping, sucking his thumb, while holding an annoyed Alex like a teddy bear

Talon: Alex, would you mind helping me out of this flight suit?
Talon (by sanzai): I'm sure someone who'll touch hands won't mind.
Spiral (by sanzai): You mean I should have had Reed hold my diral-seii? First the meeting of hands and now this?
Talon (by sanzai): Well, we still have to show him how to put the Loroi armor on quickly in case of emergency. You can help me with that.
Spiral (by sanzai): Did I mention that you are my favorite copilot ever?

I suspect that as they relax, we will get to see the conversation go back to Terra/Human concepts and history. Beryl is such an info-magpie that I don't see her giving Alex much time to not talk to her. After all her job is to obtain data.

A prelude to a tag of war perhaps?

I could almost imagine this as a "silent" panel, with Talon and Beryl talking and reacting to each other through sanzai, just based on the nonchalant expression on Alex's face.

Beryl: "I want to comb his hair."
Talon: "No, I want to comb his hair!"
Beryl: "Mine!"

Alex Thinking: {Uh oh..It's like their closing in on me.. like predators surrounding a kill...?}

or

Beryl to Talon ~ Sanzai {I'm watching those hands..you hussy!}
Tallon ~ Sanzai {What?!? Me? I just want to ... hold his 'hand' again..}
Alex, Thinking {Am I missing something here?}

"Centuries later, the Battle of Fort Jardin would become a legendary event that helped shape the Quadrant.
Few would know what actually happened that day. Some think it was the first combined combat action made between Humanity and the Loroi. Others say it was a last stand for some involved.
A few radical trolls say it was just a pillow fight on a shuttle...but no one takes them seriously. In any event, the results of the battle helped shape the political and strategic climate of the Quadrant for generations of Loroi and many more generation of Humans."

Ah, Talon vs Beryl again. “My science project!” vs “my non-gloomy entertainment!”

Based on the cylindrical object Beryl’s holding:
Talon: What are you doing?! I heard he gets stinky if he eats loroi food.
Beryl: I’m sure a marshmallow will be fine!
