Where do I find a Gray to hire for the med unit? I've scanned all the population and do not see any. I'm missing something for sure.

Bring up the visitor list, then the buttons along the bottom let you sort them by race. Just de-select all the others exept the grays, then pick one with a good spread of skills, then click on him in the list, then his picture to zoom to him. Right click him(in game) to bring up his info page, then hire him.
EDIT: They don't always say yes, if they shake their head, an icon will show what need he's trying to fulfil. You can't wait, or just try to hire a different one, I usually just move on and get somebody else. A small trick: if the person you want to hire is sleeping, you can be a jerk and beam up the sleeping pod, immediately booting the occupant, whom you can then hire. Kinda mean, but who said you had to be nice?

Which mission are you on? If it's mission 2, 2 greys should automatically show up working for you as soon as you build your first med bay. Just build a small one with 2 diagnosis units, and they should appear as long as you've got the entrance built.

It's the first mission after the tutorials. Mission 1.

Huh. I just tried it, and if you follow the directives as the AI gives them, he'll eventually say something about the Targs changing your contract and some Greka Targs are coming to the station then a message saying Grays have been granted access, Soon as I got that, they started showing up. I'd say try restarting the mission if you haven't already. Maybe reinstall the game? I have no idea what might cause them to just not appear.

I'll restart the mission. I have waited and waited for the Greys to show up and they don't. I've had no message about Targs. Thanks for your help!

I realize this is an old post, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents anyway. I wonder if this person installed his port yet?

Something trivial maybe? As long as you don't confirm VAL's messages, the game sometime doesn't continue.

Also make sure that you build all the buildings you are provided with. IF you don't then you can bork the mission.
