Well, he has one another skill he can ply to pull his weight, beyond the menial labor.
Due to Slanek's characterization as the every-venlil, the meaning of "Venlil Space Corps" actually slipped my mind for the longest time - he is a trained soldier and a pilot.
Combine that, human anti-fear training, combat experience, personal time on Earth including cooperative ops alongside arxur forces, the fact that "...bullets were relevant again. Because of Earth’s bloody history, human militaries already excelled in kinetics," and of course the plain fact that federation species are more technologically advanced and thus better trained with tech, and maid Slanek could be Marcel's very own Alfred Pennyworth by now~
"In 2136, the first Human expedition to the stars leaves Earth and reaches Gliese 832. When they reach it, they find out that it is inhabited by the Venlil Republic, a member of the Federation, a coalition of numerous species, all of them herbivorous. Terrified by the predatory humans, the Venlil struggle to see them as anything else but monsters, but eventually get over their fears. Unfortunately, not all species of the Federation are as willing to look beyond Humanity's diet, especially as the Arxur, lizard-like carnivorous aliens, have been ravaging the galaxy for centuries..."

I have to say, thank you for introducing me to NoP. It's such a great world that's being built. And I love seeing your art pop up on the sub. Keep up the great work!
I enjoy it as well, and thanks, I am glad to hear I have lead you to it~
I have been listening to the narration of NoP on Youtube for a while now and i love your interpretation of the Venlil species, hella cute.
The author has commissioned art of some scenes from the stories, and those "canonical" venlil are clearly based on my designs, so it's almost exactly accurate. Just the tail is slightly different
Oh the irony that this image goes so hard now than ever before XDDDD
Today i discovered my fav vore artist also make fanart of my favorite sci fi story…
I really like it when it about why we human are standing out compared to other species, not the stereotype of we OP af in many other writing
