I wonder if all up to now was just the prologue and from now on we are treated to a zany traditional webcomic. You know, of the "four roommates playing videogames all day: one conspiracy nut, one worrywart, one girl and one alien" kind.
On a more serious note, I am pretty sure they offered him other options. Being an alien researcher stranded on a foreign planet, you can call your preferred home.
He just chose those three friends.
I was circling around the same issue about Gharr but seen from the Terran Military and UN side, Gharr was an unknown that came in after the #1 shock&contact with Nea and Zane..He is just some crew-member that has been stranded in a foreign port.
His presence after the #1 contact was almost irrelevant. Now he has been exiled , has no connection with the diplomatic process nor to the Alliance . He is irrelevant in many way, almost a liability.
Which makes the train-o-thoughts go into dark places....
Sure there will be lots of opportunities in the future but only if he gets the media attention, this is where the 3 Stooges should be able to help.
Even a YouTube video would create a Tsunami of views & offers.
But in an academic sense...he is utterly side-railed for the time being.
I honestly think humanity would still find him immensely useful. There's nothing to say that Humans employing him as an advisor would have them frowned upon. He's an exile and thats it. Provided he's not used in direct discussions, they probably would see it as a footnote.
Gharr probably doesn't have a lot of scientific experience and knowledge in physics or technology that could be useful for getting ahead of others in the transition process, but as a xenobiologist/xenopsychologist he likely knows a lot about the different races in the alliance, their cultures and histories, together with general needs or desires when it comes to resources and such.
I'm not saying he'll be valuable beyond comprehension, particularly when there will likely be dedicated alliance officials taking up roles to assist with scientific advancement and inter-relations. But they could undoubtedly find a use for him.
Ooh, Val wins the lottery. I hope she likes her prize. I hope whoever else lives in that house with her is prepared for the shock.
I hope Dan (it's his house) won't explode.
Well, thanks to Val, we did avoid him picking up the call, so there's hope, I guess.
