Gavia came with nanomachines. This is the first time we've been told there is a significant difference between Earth nanomachines and her original ones.
Maybe there is a link between nanomachines and AI which is handled differently in the two forms.

It was only ever Alice' supposition that Ardent got his upgrade capability from the Praeses. Maybe it is earth originated?

If you want to be technical, everything is Earth-originated as they are all descended from Earth stock and anything that they have must be descended from Earth's pre-Blink tech base.
That said, I'm definitely smelling the intervention of the synthetic AIs or whatever they evolved into over the past 5,000 years.

In a relatively closed system like a space habitat, unknown foreign elements are a legitimate risk to the entire system. It isn't a matter of prejudice or arbitrary authority, it is a serious security concern.

Yes too many sci-fi series gloss over quarantines which would be a necessary procedure when traveling to worlds with potentially dangerous microbes, diseases, and viruses. Hopefully the decontamination process isn't too painful.
