Kojima on the setup of Inherit the Stars

At its heart, it’s a completely new kind of puzzle mystery stemming from a question —Why is a dead body here?— that doesn’t quite fit into a traditional whodunit, whydunit, or howdunit. A corpse in a red spacesuit is discovered on the surface of the moon. Dr. Victor Hunt, a nuclear physicist, is presented with an image of the corpse along with the following explanation:

“That is the body. I’ll answer some of the more obvious questions before you ask. First — no, we don’t know who he is —or was— so we call him Charlie. Second — no, we don’t know for sure what killed him. Third — no, we don’t know where he came from.” “Let me say that from what little we do know so far, we can state one or two things with certainty. First, Charlie did not come from any of the bases established to date on Luna. Furthermore” —Caldwell’s voice slowed to an ominous rumble— “he did not originate from any nation of the world as we know it today. In fact, it is by no means certain that he originated from this planet at all!” […] “You see, gentlemen — Charlie died over fifty thousand years ago!”

How about that? I’m not sure if any other novel has so excellent a setup and as surprising a plot. —Hideo Kojima, The Creative Gene (2011)

Rules:

I used the characters' behavior in the movies to take the quiz for them. The Quiz is accurate, which was determined by sorting some of HP characters: Harry: Gryffindor/Hufflepuff (P), Slytherin/Gryffindor (S) Hermione: Gryffindor/Hufflepuff (P), Gryffindor/Ravenclaw (S) Neville: Gryffindor (P), Gryffindor/Hufflepuff (S)

Since most of the results don't give us only one house, I used this scheme: 2 points for first results in P and S, 1 point for second (additional) results in P and S. If P or S gave us only 1 house, we give it all 3 points. Example: Yondu Udonta: Slytherin/Gryffindor (P), Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff (S) means Yondu got 2 points for Slytherin, 2 points for Ravenclaw, 1 point for each Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Since he got 2 points for different P and S, we sort him into his Primary house - Slytherin (why primary - sorting my friends showed that in such cases they prefer the primary house).
