Hats off to the lizards' First Contact protocols that involve scrubbing any chance of contaminating the biome right out the gate.
Also: That's the look of a soldier who is going to shove his foot right under the tail of a certain xenozoologist if he ever gets his hands on them.
"Lizards"?
I guess next week I'll be finding out if I respect the Major's competence or actually respect the Major.
What do you mean, and what's the difference?
I already know the dude's sharp-minded and good at his job. How he treats the alien survivor will be my first real impression of his morals.
Interesting. Sounds like the shuttle was equipped with some kind of sterilizer field. Hopefully that won't cause Gharr and the other survivor any health problems due to lack of symbiotic microflora. And of course, hopefully they won't have too hard a time with Earth germs.
And I had wondered if Gharr was the only survivor. It didn't seem likely that he of all people would be the only one out of a crew of eight, but I had also figured that there would have been an immediate clamor if the military had found a survivor in the wreck.
In the third panel, were you going for “Martians are going to be beaten by the flu?”
uh, no, "eaten". As in "flesh-eating bacteria".
Ok
Technically the flu is a virus and can't eat anything, but then again the whole reason Zelenkov is there is because the Major isn't a man of science.
Metaphorically eaten, not literally :D
Well if you look at what happens to Ebola victims. As one doctor put it you liquefy internally , like a three day old corpse.
