They're real lucky they didn't get pulled over for that. Imagine deciding to turn yourself in to Those In The Know, only to have to explain yourself to some random cop instead...
At the very least, the poor guard will need to call someone of a higher authority. They're driving in a white truck (But they could still be waving white flags!)
IIRC there's like half a mile or more of open landscape+road leading up to the site. I expect the guards to already have informed someone of the "white car, like we're searching for" and that some vehicle will inconspicuously roll in place to block the other end of the access road as we sp^H^Hread.
Maybe they're at the gate as a distraction while Gharr waits in the bushes to see how it goes, and when the Captain of the Guard shows up he'll walk up and say, "Hello there. Could you help me please?"
Oh ye of little faith... Someone of rank would surely know what that base is for and possibly even their current guests, and "what happened" before THEY showed up. Also probably really tired of this low-level service and eager to get the attention of those who can reward and promote a soldier with such Personal Incentive as to save them all from such an embarrassing situation!!!
Dan's riding shotgun, Mark is behind him, the rest of the rear seems empty. It makes more sense for Gharr to have laid flat on the bench (to remain unseen, en lieu of the blanket approach) than for Val.
No that's Val riding shotgun. Mark must be driving, and there's no sign of Gharr, neither in the payload nor in the seat next to Val. My guess is they dropped him off around the bend a little ways back, or maybe even left him back at Mark's house, to avoid putting him in unnecessary danger if things go sideways. They can open the conversation with something like, "we have some important information about the 'meteor' that crashed here. Can we talk to an officer?"
Sorry I mean Dan must be driving with Mark in the back seat behind Val. No sign of the guy whose head was squished into the ceiling the last time he went for a ride in that Fjord.
The driver will be the first guy that guard talks to, I don't see the other two letting Dan take that position. Or, with Val by his side, I'd expect a "strangling with bare hands" scene coming up if they did!

The names of every species of the Alliance (besides Insectoids) are words taken directly from their respective native languages that they use to refer to themselves. They all have the same translation: "a human".

"Here's my pass"
*points to Gharr in the back"
It seems that they did remove the license plates ...

Oh God or whatever Deity watches over these part of the planet!
I cannot however spot Gharr. He better not "spring" up like Jack-in-the-box or that guard
will flinch. Especially his trigger finger......

Right....."Hello can Y..."RATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!! (reloading sounds) "RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA"

Is Gharr... the driver?!
I hope not.

Also, this Fjord doesn't have plates?
