Danny is down for monitoring on weekends, although I'm not sure what information of use (if any) he'd find from doing that--would any of the listed enemies be out in the open around the farmhouse?

I am also okay with him being on ground cover, in the ensuing alien fight he will still be on defense, trying to help people dodge and keep them safe from attacks.

Although, QUESTION. I don't think I've seen it explicitly stated anywhere before, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but just to confirm. Will encountering the alien give characters an echo?
