I’d definitely be asking a lot of questions. Have aliens visited our planet in the past? What are the most recent scientific breakthroughs? What is your ultimate goal? Why are you unable to lie? Why are you so naïve? How do you communicate? Do you still allow human bodies to reproduce? If yes, by what principle or criteria do you select mates? Why are you helping me instead of trying to imprison or kill me?
And then there are the questions they probably couldn’t—or wouldn’t—answer, but I’d still want to ask: The virus only affects humans, so was it designed specifically for us? The signal comes from a source 600 light-years away. That means someone must have visited Earth at least 1,200 years ago, collected genetic material, flown back, and then sent the signal. Why? Why not just release the virus while they were here? Why even create a virus at all? Were there other attempts to subdue humanity? Are there other alien races? Do aliens live among us?
And finally… why does she have to be so goddamn fuckable?
Did the virus affect the rat in the beginning? Was it playing dead?
