Como é possível que o navio Lorien tenha percorrido apenas 100 milhões de milhas

2

Aqui um extrato de Rise of Nine, capítulo 1:

I remember feeling my face burn with embarrassment. Her challenge hit its mark. I finally said, ‘No, I’ve never been on an airplane.’ I wanted to tell her I’ve been on something much bigger, something much more impressive than a little airplane. I wanted her to know I came to Earth on a ship from another planet called Lorien and the trip had covered more than 100 million miles. I didn’t, though, because I knew I had to keep Lorien secret.

100 milhões de milhas é tanto quanto a distância entre a Terra e o Sol. Lorien está localizado em outro sistema estelar. Como é possível que eles viajaram a uma distância tão curta?

Apesar de levantar mais perguntas do que respostas, dentro do cânone de Lorien, sabemos que os lorieneses (?) são realmente ignorantes sobre a distância de seu planeta natal:

The detective writes something on the notepad. “Where are you originally from?”

“The planet Lorien, three hundred million miles away.”

“Must have been a long trip, John Smith.” - The Power of Six

Of course I know full well where Lorien is without having to be told. There is a certain pull, a certain way that my eyes always gravitate towards the spot where, billions of miles away, Lorien sits. I try to catch a snow-flake on the tip of my tongue, then close my eyes and breathe in the cold air. When I open them I turn around and look at Sarah through the window. She’s sitting with her legs beneath her, Bernie Kosar’s head still in her lap. - I am Number Four

e (spoiler leve)

Anu drums the clipboard with his pen, growing annoyed by Malcolm's hypnotized vagueness. "How will they restart Lorien from here, Malcolm? The planet is light-years away.

Se isso pretende mostrar que o mundo do universo é muito diferente do nosso ou (mais provavelmente) é simplesmente uma brincadeira dos vários autores, não está claro.
