Almost immediately, I had a gut feeling that she was being, shall we say, disingenuous.
As far as I could tell, and aside from a couple of completely unverifiable references to events that supposedly occurred in Earth's deep dark past, she brought absolutely nothing new to the table. She simply unveiled a bland potpourri of things that are already there for anyone to partake of; things that have already been recycled and regurgitated countless times all over the internet and in print.
She kept prefacing various elements of her story as being "fascinating," and yet, her dead-pan manner belied any sense of fascination, or even excitement. Nothing she said was even remotely so, IMO. Vague and ambiguous, Yes. But "fascinating?" Well, maybe to her it was.

It seems she didnt "plan" this out or muck it up like so many others we have seen, if you sat me down i don't think many would find it super exciting but if you could see something weird with me i think it will hit the mark.
I think you are right about her speech though, she needs to keep focused and get into detail - i myself have realized this and keep things simple and always going forward. It helps get the message across and keep someone wanting the next bit.
EDIT**
Read closely what i posted above at the end ""The next bit"", alot of good "story" tellers understand this and easily make a good buck off keeping you waiting (almost like a junkie...) Miriam on the other hand is quite the opposite i don't think she wants your money.
