How to extract a misplaced kerbal?

[Sharpy]

Somehow, yesterday, Olivia Kerman, when boarding my long range exploration vessel's lab, ended up in an undefined space.

 

There's no part to click to send her on EVA. No portrait in the lower right of the screen, when the vessel is focused. She's somewhere "on the ship" but not in any crewed part. And the mission can't really progress without her. Plus I'd rather not return to Kerbin to recover her just yet... Probably editing the save would help, but what, where should I edit to move her to a normal crewed part?

Hm.

I'd go into the persistent.sfs and look at Gilvey Kerman, and then change Olivia Kerman to look like him everywhere that appears to be some sort of location. If the planetary laboratory has  a free seat that is. You may need to specify the seat number in the file but I've never done it before so I don't know how the game decides who's in which seat. But just getting her into the module may make EVA/transfer possible.

Also look for Gilvey and Olivia elsewhere in the SFS. They may be listed in the ships themselves. If any of that stuff is out of sync weird things (like this) can happen.

Found it. Somehow the craft got a part  of type "KerbalEVA" attached to it. Erased the part, moved "crew = Olivia Kerman" to a part that could take passengers (the lab which already contained the other scientist - just add a second "crew =" line below.
