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?

"A species that keeps us from returning to our people deserves to get it's ass kicked" should be simple to grasp. Sir.

Thanks for the beautiful update(s)!!
They're using the Universal Language... which explains a lot and offers a solution!
Of course, it couldn't possibly be that simple. Although it's great to see them trying.

They are using an erasable pen! At least the body does not look like a mechanical pencil?

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.

TRIVIA
Many homeworlds of the respective species are still divided into countries, but freshly established colonies on other planets are almost always monolithic and basically independent, since they sprawled from a single initial outpost, and time lag involved due to interstellar distances making remote management of the colony from a homeworld to be ineffective and frustrating at best.
