MC POV: When was a time that you “buried the hatchet,” so to speak?

Onboard the Ghoz'Tarc.
Arkham looked confused: "What's a hatchet?"

Kira's smiled, that's an old english term, it was one of the more common languages until the 22 hundreds," her eyes flickered as she used Ash's database: "a tool for farming as it seems or a weapon, according to Ash."

J. looked up: "Oh I think Dad had one of this things, he said it was used back in the day to prepare the ground or something like that. But I have no Idea why one should bury them, maybe to fertilize the ground? Humans weren't very smart back than right?"

Mondira looked bewildered, her hand slipped over her eyes & in an annoyed tone she muttered: "For real? Why are you even using Ash if you can't find the meaning of an saying?"
She suddenly realized that she just blasted out her thoughts & critized her commander in front of other crew members, her voice folded “Sorry ma'am, sir, I... didn't mean to be..."

Kira cut her short with a hand gesture: "Exo-Biologist/Anthropologist Ramann, speak out loud & clearly. We are eager to learn."

Mondira swallowed, trying to find her confidence again: "Yes ma'am," she straightened up, ”hatchets where wood farming tools used to cut down trees, bushes & scrubs but also weapons, they are basically smaller versions of axes. To burry the hatchet exists in several Human languages that are still used on Eodin today & means to make peace with each other. Weapons that aren't in sight/reach can't be used. Somwhar have a similar Idiom which translates to 'to hit each other with gentle punches" ma'am."

Kira smiled command style: "Here is our explanation, if only the Eltaryn would use hatches. Mondira?"

Mondira looked like a dear in bright light. "Yes ma'am."

Kira's smiled more genuine: "Just use a less annoyed voice next time, okay?"

Mondira looked relieved & smiled back: "Yes ma'am."

Tell us about a time when one of your characters put their foot in their mouth.

Asza'ni are actually, physical capable of doing this, they have a humanoid body but are actually way more flexible than other humanoid species. Which led to a weird encounter as they first met Humans (not Terrans) who still used a form of English as their language.

It ended with every Asza'ni in the room standing with one of their feet in their mouth. Which defused a rather explosive situation that could have started a war. Try to stay serious if you see 10 opposing Aliens chew their soles. It also was kinda impressive that none of them lost their balance while doing so.

Terrans on the other hand are most times incredibly blunt and stand to what they say and carry the outcome. They also tent to bluntly state 'that this comment' was hurtful.

So the character that really struggles with this is Mondira, despite her being more blunt than the average Human from Eodin, her socialisation is more that of an human from our time.

She regrets things like telling Arkham that she is kinda jealous of her having a relationship with Kira, because she sees Kira as her personal Hero.
Kira doesn't want this kind of appreciation while Arkham has a field day with that situation.
For her, having a romantic relationship is something completely new and she enjoys it way to much, that someone else envies her for that, even if it isn't for romantic reasons.

Mondira feels similar in case of Ashlei because Ash and the captain are basically mind linked which is something Arkham pretty much can relate too.

Eine deiner Protas klingelt plötzlich an deiner Tür. Wie begrüßt du sie/ihn/dey?

Erstmal gucken, dass es kein Känguru ist,dass sich Eier, Pfanne, Herd, Küche ausleihen will und mich dann los schickt um bloß nicht beim Discounter Fleisch zu kaufen, während es in meiner Küche wartet.

Kira und Arkham würde ich wahrscheinlich erstmal nicht erkennen. Arkham noch eher wegen den grün blauen Haaren und den zerschnittenen Klamotten.

Und dann je nach Story und Fortschritt der Story entscheiden ob ich sie begrüße oder lieber durch das Fenster raus klettere/die Hintertür nehme.

Ash wäre ziemlich eindeutig und ich wäre wahrscheinlich einfach nur Platt weil ein verdammtes Haus über mir schwebt. Also ein Raumschiff (die Ghoz'Tarc) in der Größe eines mehrstöckigen Wohnhauses und mit 178 Metern Länge ist es eher unwahrscheinlich dass es auf der Straße aufsetzen kann. Wenig Platz. Und wie hat Ash eigentlich die Klingel benutzt?
Wahrscheinlich ein modulierter Traktorstrahl auf den Knopf gerichtet oder eine niedrig bandige Energietransmission direkt auf die Leitung hinter dem Knopf gerichtet.🤔

Also eigentlich kann es nicht so schlimm sein, wenn sie klingeln. Ich mein die Tür ist kein echtes Hindernis wenn sie rein wollen und zur Not haben sie das Gegenstück zu den Ring Transportern in Stargate oder zum beamen aus Star Trek.

Your MC turns around in the last scene you wrote. What do they see?

Star Ryde
Arkham would see the back of J. walking away from Sickbay.

CyBOARpunk
Mario Luigi of the Luigi Brothers would see the ruined street of Donktown, the run down district of Neon Donk City, with the steam coming from the subterranean heating vents, blowing their hot hissing air into the neon flooded rainy night.

What would your MC say their personal weaknesses or flaws are? Would other characters agree?

Kira: “People told me all my life I'm to eager to trust others, this seems partly true but people do not see that I trust all people as far as I can throw them, height meters don't count. I was bad cook for a long time and well my survival experience made me non demanding in case of taste and edibility.
My right hook is not as strong as my left hook and I am not as quick while running as I could be, also I'm sure that my battlefield awareness could be better."

Arkham: "People always told me I'm short tempered, yeah guess what that's just a nervous system feature of a smaller body size, I'm like one of this weird birds in the history of Terra that's extinct by now. How they where called Kilibris?
Oh and don't get me started about "my attention seeking" according to some people I worked withy because I wear my uniform like this. If the Union would finally figure out what of the Uniforms components made me want to rip my skin off I could print one without that component...
You wouldn't believe how I would look on my privates if I wouldn't wear underwear under the uniform."

Ashlei: "I was told that people do not appreciate practical jokes including but not limited to: gravity, atmosphere, auto destruction sequences or false alarms. Still most of them found my thoughts about this topics 'funny'. Thus I concluded, that I am more entertaining than I thought."

and I cut my answer here because I would need to answer with on at least 3 other characters and their perception of the three to answer this adequately. However as the author_ity I decided most people agree on that and have sometimes very own pov's.

Kira: "Funny thing you are never as ready as you might think you are. Prepared maybe but not ready, the moment you see a 5 Story tall blue insectoid, tossing your fellow soldiers around like they are trelupian flies. See their life light snuffed out like a candle and the next moment a freaking giant Gorilla that breaks through a wall next to you, so you have to function, to fight for the lives of everyone around you, you know you're not ready. Not the slightest, and even if you get routine the stories of others who broke get to you... And as if this wasn't bad enough the species in the galaxy still have nothing better to do as to threaten each other on every occasion."

Arkham: "Not much to add here in a more uplifting mood, the moment you see your world for the first time from space. It's beauty, it's insignificance in the great scheme...
It's weakness, it's need for protection."

Ash: "Being able to grasp what an average biological existence means. I rarely have to fight to have energy while for humanoids and others it's a constant struggle, if parts of me break down I am constructed with redundant systems and can reroute the functionality til the part is replaced. I do not posses a body feeling even if the Ghoz'Tarc is my body. I only started to understand that what this means after the merge with the commander."
