my personal take on the matter
[ID: A Project Hail Mary comic of DuBois, Shapiro, Ilyukhina, Yao, and Grace sitting around a table. Shapiro, arm slung around DuBois, asks, "You're sure yoy and Stratt aren't a thing." Grace, slightly annoyed: "Absolutely positive." Shapiro: "You've never even kissed?" Grace, looking disturbed: "Nuh uh. Nope."
DuBois asks, "But if she asked you to... say... get your arm surgically attached to hers. Would you?" Grace raises an eyebrow. "Huh??" Yao asks, "Well, would you?" Grace, uncomfortably, "Like. I mean. If it was pertinent to the mission, then..." Ilyukhina says flatly, "Never mind. Something much more concerning than sex going on here." Yao nods seriously, and Grace looks indignant.
