For us? Well, that'd be a problem. For a sufficiently advanced alien race? Not so much. Nor is it particularly problematic for Kanishi and her kind... though it is, perhaps, a bit more tedious when they find themselves assigned to a Dark World that has a lot of hostile locals. Ah, well... what can you do about that?
Bitch, whine, cry, or fight back, usually. Kanishi, though, finds that she has plenty of other options! Of course, she cheats a bit, but hey, no one said it had to be a FAIR fight!
Put simply, though, Kanishi is an alien biologist. Her job is to sample and catalog any races of interest, taking, at the very least, enough DNA to clone their own, and preferably live samples. To that end, her vessel is state of the art, with heavy shielding, cloaking capability, a lot of firepower... and a lot MORE storage space, boosted by a Matter Transposer unit(or a shrink ray, to put it in cruder terms). There's also a bank of clones, replenished as needed, with an uplink to her mind. Should she expire, well, those clones will activate, and she'll be FINE. Which, in the end, is as it should be. She couldn't do her job if she stayed dead, now could she? (These also help for bringing back samples who refused to submit, at least before due processing within her belly). Add to that comfortable living quarters, plenty of entertainment, and lots of things to do, and, well, it's got more than the comforts of home, for her. After all, her home isn't a mobile fortress... her home away from home is.
As for the alien herself... well, she refers to herself in the feminine, and identifies as female, for the most part. However, she isn't human, and she may only have a rather dim understanding of terrestrial genders. Apparently, HER race swaps gender on a whim, based on mood or societal pressures or who the hell knows. Regardless, it has made her rather more open to a lot of things. You could call her a xenophile, and you'd be... well, fairly accurate. Humans are close enough!
As for her appearance, though... well, she's fairly average, as far as her figure, at a mere five foot six, with a nice, perky C-cup chest and toned rear. Her skin, hair, and eyes, though, are all outside the norm, and odds are good she's got some more unusual anatomy. Her hair, for example, is dark blue. Her eyes? Purple! And her skin is a dull, silvery shade, which doesn't gleam(much). Her typical attire... it's hard to say whether or not she has one. Some days she may look like she's dressed for a safari, while others she's wearing a nice, tight bodysuit that looks like it came from some movie or another that happened to have sexy aliens. Her attitude? ... well. Captain Kirk would be pleased with her diplomatic tactics.
Though, if she's called upon for uplift negotiations, she may have to try something different... still! For now, she's just doing her thing, and the occasional cute local. Needless to say, she loves her job.
