My first thought was excretory organs, i.e. anus and urethra, but it could definitely be the copulatory organs of a hermaphroditic space ship, or a vagina and urethra.
This comic is definitely true to its readership in presenting disturbing “what the heck is that?” images. One could even call this particular one “fan service,” so lovingly rendered is the pink detail. And now we have to wonder what the circle dude was DOING with what I shall euphemize as “the tongue”, because I called it that last time. I am going to speculate that because we can’t see the severed head during the first frame of the circle dude’s tongue use, and because dislodged chunky bits are confirmed to have fallen out of the head as it was hauled away, that the head is somehow mated to the tongue for some benefit of the circle dudes. Perhaps it recharges the severed head, keeps it in it’s possibly zombie like state, allows access to the undocking code. Maybe it’s this universe’s equivalent of a retinal/facial recognition scanner.
I will leave you to speculate which protrusions and holes in that head-shaped depression mate with which orifices on the severed head.
You know, I figured I’d have to be dead for a couple decades before my comics received any scholarly attention. Will it be long before we see a pop-sci book titled “The Science of The Descender”?
If it really were a scholarly dissertation, I wouldn’t have misspelled its. And I probably would have dared speculate myself.
I must compliment you on the guy’s expression in the last panel. We understand completely why he looks like that. Indeed that is what we the readers look like after viewing this comic.
Action summary, even though it’s pretty much covered above:
While the alien flees to the ship, the descender investigates the tonguelike thing that the alien was using. The ship appears to be connected to it. It resembles a set of biological orifices with vague excretory or copulatory functions. The shape of the indentation and the layout of the connectors matches the features of a human face, with one extra aligned with the forehead.
That looks like a vagina. Except upside-down and with really bad genital warts.
