Pretty cool to be able to draw an alien face expressing "concern".

Yup, the guilt did hit him immediately.

What exactly did he just turn off there? Recording function?

It's one of the points I'll need to clarify in the remake of the first several pages when I'll get around to working on them, since as of now it was sorta just brushed by in a dialogue.
He turned off his implant's comms module.

Not really getting the picture. What was it doing that he wanted it to stop doing?

Seeing that it seems to have controls much smaller than his finger (which, I'd conclude, would be meant to be used by an assistant who can actually look at them), chances are that "complete shutdown" isn't what he wants, but what he can do ...

It was on page 9, but looking back at it now, the dialogue there is so bad. XD
It's an unconscious habit of his in times where he needs to think alone.

ah, gotcha. It wasn't doing anything at the time, he just does that.

I don’t think that’s guilt. More likely he’s just feeling overwhelmed by all of this.

TRIVIA
Before becoming a webcomic, Leaving The Cradle was initially developed as a modification for Source engine, back in 2007. It was vastly different back then, much closer to the usual space opera look and feel, and the plot had nothing in common with the webcomic version, sharing only one character.
