** From the email, it's implied that employees are the only ones who have access to the gym as part of their mandatory health training. Talos I, however, regularly have non-employee visitors, like Leitner and a footballer who had been ask to record their connectomes as part of the neuromod program. It's possible the email refers to employee to NOT giving these visitors any access to the gym unless they are paid or granted permission.

** [[spoiler: Before he asks you to take his hand, Alex says "I need to know if you see us. I mean, really see us", meaning he needs to be sure the hybrid can see humans as people and interact with them as something other than just a food source. It makes sense that he needs to be in the same room and physically interact with the hybrid in order to test that. If the hybrid has learned empathy, it also works as a show of good faith.]]

** Some of the windows can be seen through (the ones to areas that can only be accessed from space and therefore exist in the "external" level.) The ones that aren't are probably just a matter of GameplayAndStorySegregation - the external space map is already huge, so they couldn't model the insides of every room with a window. Plus anything the player did inside wouldn't be reflected there.
