absence of alien [pathogens]
for the [absence] of the germs
implanted themselves [with] a whole artificial immune system

Do the nanobots also fill the roles of symbiotic bacteria? Or is that right on the next page?

Yes, they are. Their point is to completely clean out and replace any microorganisms that can be accidentally left behind on a planet with an artificial analog that simply becomes an inert piece of matter when left behind

Interesting. Even in settings where blood-nano is commonplace, this is only the second time I've seen this sort of two-way protection concept, and the first time I've seen it applied to alien explorers, or primarily intended to keep the user from shedding biological germs.

Huh. Where was the first?

Super Minion. Took me a while to realize, because in that, the character was the nanobot factory rather than merely having one.

A delightful story in its own right, if comedically amoral protagonists aren't a turn-off for you.

TRIVIA
Raharrs descended from the evolutionary branch that can be described as "apelike cats" by their evolutionary niche. Although initially carnivorous and solitary, they were forced to become omnivorous and form persistent packs during the latest of the rare ice ages of their homeworld, approximately 30 million years ago.
