Time to sell herself. Mops' mouth is dry, and once again she wishes for Doc, once again she takes a moment to put her answer together.
"I'm the head of an EMC Shipboard Hygiene and Sanitation team. I can't fix the, the higher level more technical things, but I can do a lot with life support and quality of life. I've repaired sewage mains, made spaces that have held unrefrigerated corpses sanitary again and without stain or odor, and jury-rigged ventilation, wiring, and plumbing around damage too extensive for my team to fix. And I'm not infantry, but I'm good with firearms if it ever comes to that."
I can go into guest quarters assigned to Nusurans and determine whether the fittings have to be stripped to bare metal or if laundering the upholstery and extensive spot-cleaning are enough, she doesn't say, though that is a point of pride in her own judgement. Mops has had the intuition that she won't gain any points by mentioning her aftermath-of-an-orgy skills.
"And I'm not like you," she says then. It feels so unreal to tell this to another human. There's something really wretched about it. "I can be killed, but it's harder. I can eat things that would make you sick without being harmed. I can recover from serious wounds without needing extensive medical attention. I don't feel pain."
