1. As regards the ship shutdown-- is the MID network permanently affected, or only during the crash? And how limited are the "fractured communications"? Would a character in the ship's systems be out for the duration if they weren't extracted in time, or would parts of the ship be turned back on during the presumed attempts at repair afterwards?
2. The log says staying on the Moira isn't a possibility, but also that some characters will lurk back with the ship. Is there anything stopping a character from doing so, and what would be going on there if they did?
3. The answers to some other questions indicates the compulsion to participate applies when a character gets close to the festivities. Is it a matter of proximity to the party, or proximity to the alien settlement? (e.g., does it kick in the moment they go up the steps, once the feast begins, once they see an alien...?) If someone went there planning to sneak around and be suspicious, how long would it take for them to get hit by the effect?
4. Editing to add-- would scanning the forest, beach, or party area (insofar as a character would be able to want to, there) turn up anything unexpected? Said scans would usually be capable of detecting electrical power or living creatures (within a certain distance), or recent travel patterns thereof.
