You know, it is fortunate she is part of the alien species more similar to humans seen thus far. Can you imagine if the military got the "I perceive one hour in 100 subjective years" guy?
If there were an invasion planned, none of what happened would make sense. Why suddenly attempt a dangerous escape when you can safely wait for the invasion to arrive? Why send in a single shuttle with no apparent combat value when it's hard to imagine it could be necessary for recon either?

How do you differentiate between an erasable and regular pen?
With "regular" pens the ink quickly sinks into the paper and becomes permanent. "erasable" pens use a different formula the binds to the paper so slowly, there is a window when it can be scrapped off the paper.
