Archer meets an alien named Garos on the Akaali homeworld who claims
to be a Malurian.
The following information is based on the
assumption that he was and is a representative of the Malurian race:
Appearance - Archer stuns an
alien and peels off a mask to reveal bumpy grey reptilian skin.
Language - The alien GUIs have a
black background with yellow, grey-green, and blue graphics. The
text consists
of letters with a
predominantly triangular form (horizontals, verticals, 60-degree
diagonals, but no curves or diacritical
dots), and is written in
horizontal lines. Three font sizes are visible. Archer does *not*
intuitively understand the alien
symbology of the controls,
and can't decide which button shuts off the "dampening field" around
the shop: blue or
yellow? Yet Archer
didn't seem to have a problem with the combinations on the Malurian
remote control for the doors.
History - The Malurian planet of
4 billion inhabitants was destroyed in 2267 by the malfunctioning Nomad
space probe.
The Malurians were being studied by a Federation
Science team headed by Dr. Manway at the time.
