Bam!
His unconscious body hit the floor of the pod.
I truly have no idea what sort of shock a grown man with nerves of steel had to go through for him to actually faint.
I mean, the process of fainting from shock is pretty straight forward.
Extreme emotional distress causes the heart rate to drop drastically, which in turn causes a lack of oxygen to enter the brain, which in turn causes it to lose consciousness briefly.
The key issue for my big bro was the extreme emotional distress.
True, a little girl calling him Daddy was quite shocking, but for his battle hardened body and highly experienced mind to react that way meant that he probably had very high pre-set expectations and prior emotional build up with the girl, which when unmet, became a source of great emotional distress.
In other words, he knew the girl. Or at least, he knew about the girl and what she was supposed to be.
And what she was supposed to be was definitely not his daughter.
