See, that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. You don't see it
happen, so you complain. (Not the personal "you" there.)
Clearly the alien got into the food stores that were stocked away for a
multi-year mining mission. It wasn't eating the people, so where else would
it get food?
I liked how the human shape was explained as the alien taking on some of the
characteristics of the host, tho.
