I am happily surprised and excited for more Xerian. Also, violence and unorthodox dress sense? Yes please!

Yeah, being the go-between for First Contact does tend to get your name out there.

I'm wondering, why does a robot/synth need a blanket, does he get cold like organics?

I think this is a learned behavior, as per the wiki: Synths do not have a distinct cultural identity of their own, instead tending to adopt the culture in which they are raised.

So as culture is something that is taught, the use of blankets is likely copied from when the original colonist created them.

It also feels comforting to have something soft draped over yourself, and it can also help cover the shoulder and hip status lights if there's someone else present.

Gives a new meaning to the term "flashing someone".

Yet another comment that would have merited an 'applaud' if we still had that feature.

I could use that in the work place as well, my comments there mostly get me into calls with HR.

01-08 - Locked Shower Mystery

Well that certainly limits down the methods of kidnapping. Reverse lockpicking doesn't explain the missing cutlery, either.

Not unless our kidnapper happens to be a kleptomaniac as well.
