Fatima has the rest of the cadets outnumbered: 1-3. Even employing superior strategies, gravity manipulation and super-speed, the other cadets are not going to overcome Fatima’s advantages in water polo. Counting the limbs makes it even (and even more humiliating when they lose): 2 primary + 10 tentacles vs. 3 time 4 = 12 vs. 12.
“Mudge, can this wait until we are actually awake?” I foresee certain complications for Mudge if he just asks for sex from his classmates. Some are just physically incomparable, like Fatima or Brair. Others should be approached carefully.
Fatima: So, I lay eggs and you fertilize? Is that what you mean? I think I am not ready for that yet.
Kaycee: Mudge, you are a nice guy and all, but I do not see our relationship going in that direction.
Rochelle: Clearly you have not put enough thought into your question. While our bodies might be compatible, our minds definitely are not.
Natalie: Yuk, No! [ Seems to teleport 200 metres away, in a thunderclap, but she actually did occupy all the points in between, and the thunderclap was really a sonic boom. She just occupied all the points close to simultaneously, at speeds where the definition of simultaneous becomes problematic; see Special Theory of Relativity. ]
Charisma: You even think of trying something and I will squish you into a noodle. (Mind you, if he did managed to get together with super-strong Charisma, he might get crushed into a noodle anyway.)
Vostok has been hanging around mammals, like Kaycee, too long and picking up a new emotional state, basically unheard of in his/her/its species: selfless love. So he/she/it is not familiar with new motivation in behaviour that is so unknown in that alien species. Sure he/she/it (whatever) will stick around to be close to Kaycee and train Olga Beh and other mind manipulators, but that is really just secondary to being near Kaycee.
Considering some of the imagery Gary had in his nightmare, his PTSD treatments will be significant and necessary.
Let’s see. Go!Anna, dressed in her usually green get-up, is looking for her new colleague, Epoch and was told he was visiting the hospital. She arrives at the nurses’ station and inquires as to where Epoch is.
Go!Anna: Excuse me, I was told Epoch was on this floor.
Nurse: Oh, yes. Last I saw, he was in room 213 visiting Gary Wong. Just go down that hall; it’s the third door on the right. If the door is closed, please knock before entering.
Go!Anna walks down the hall and knocks on the indicated door, then opens the door a crack.
Go!Anna: Hi guys. Are you decent? Can I come in?
Gary [ thinking this is one of the nurses ]: Um, sure. Come on in.
Go!Anna enters.
Gary: *SCREAM* [ He tries to get away as far as possible ]
Vlad: [ Quickly gets to the door and escorts Go!Anna out of the door. ] Let’s talk out here.
So much for Gary’s PTSD treatments; back to square 1.
I could see Vlad being much less cool if he discovered a Charisma Bot.
Perhaps hinting that boundary line of Protective father overriding cool coworker.

She can be her own team! 😀

You forgot the bit where Go notices a pair of surgical scissors accidentally dropped just outside Gary’s room, which picks up before entering…
No wonder Vostok is so psychically capable. That ego is unstoppable.
I’m curious, does Vlad have any kind of accent? Outside of the occasional Russian expression, it’s easy to forget that he is Russian.
vostok be liek i would have to save your life 1000 times before you equal my 1 life
