They probably would have been busier looking for survivors and remains, electronics and possibly physical transcription media (IE, notebooks) that may have survived the destruction of the ship. Looting the clothes would have been a pretty low priority, I would think; food stores would have been a higher priority, I would think, if only because they had one survivor and the only things they could be guaranteed they could feed him would be his own rations.Sweforce wrote:I came to think about the stuff the salvage crew found the Bellarmine wreckage. This could be a source of alternate clothing for Alex, things like clean underwear and whatever he need to wear when his uniform are washed. Maybe they could even have found a dress uniform or two for use on official occasions. They also ranked him up to captain so rank insignia could also be added that way.
Clothing him is nearly trivial by comparison. The Loroi have clothiers and clearly they're good ones, so it wouldn't even be too difficult to get duplicate uniforms made, or even have him work with a tailor to recreate a dress uniform if required. Getting any kind of utilitarian garb for him would be absurdly simple by design; that kind of thing is almost certainly fabricated to-fit by machines, and in body structure he's pretty much identical to a Loroi male, so it's just a matter of plugging in his measurements. The absolute worst case scenario would be if their fabbers are too smart for their own good and refuse to believe a Loroi male could grow to his size, necessitating a software engineer take an electronic crowbar to its brains to unlock whatever stupidity subroutine is making it declare Alex's measurements "out of bounds."
Which would be, well, weird. I mean, the Loroi may have a tighter set of averages than humans, but they still have statistical outliers. (I still want to see a Loroi woman grown to such stature she looks like she'd be more at home with an axe and a giant shield sailing a longboat than a spaceship.)
