should be lite the surrounding forest. lit is past tense, I lit the candle. Light refers to a light source like sunlight, incandescent light etc. English can be a pain for a lot of people who are raised with it. so you guys are doing a great job.

Wrong, "light" is the correct verb for igniting something. "Lite" is only an adjective, and only for describing products that are low in something.

Of course there are remains inside. It hasn't all burned down.
The question is, will they somehow know one alien is missing?

TRIVIA
Before becoming a webcomic, Leaving The Cradle was initially developed as a modification for Source engine, back in 2007. It was vastly different back then, much closer to the usual space opera look and feel, and the plot had nothing in common with the webcomic version, sharing only one character.
