It makes sense to switch off of 'game' collaboration methods like One-paragraph-at-a-time after the story develops a bit.

I haven't done alot of science fiction before, in fact all I've ever used aliens for is as a source of magical power, but I'll give it a go. It's possible the alien contacting Sara is not of the norm, possibly it is a social outcast, hooligan, or a do-gooder out to stop a 'fascist' regime! (On the alien planet, that is). I'm not found of the idea of aliens having contacted humans before, but who knows. Perhaps they did so and created a consortium of conspiratorial gentlemen out to rule the world! They could even be called The Illuminati! How Exciting! Without the citing.

Gosh these comment-boxes are tiny and hard to use. And there's no preview button.
