I feel like the human lady very well could've been a placeholder, like done for fun as a reminder to make the other new pilot a girl as well or something, but the variety of design concepts and seprate sprite styles for both the pilot select screen and the in-game text boxes (pic related was discovered in a build years before the gigaleak) makes me uncertain, so maybe she really was considered for the final product.

I would've been down with it, I've always liked settings where humans are just kinda "there" and interspersed without making a big deal out of it.
