Tomas picked it out and he liked fuzzy bears instead of smooth, so it is blue and fuzzy. She names him Theodore Edward Bear, or Ted E. Bear.

Tia at first dismisses Alex because he was late to his interview with her. He comes in the middle of the night and that's when she learns he is also into archaeology.

7. When the jackals attack, who locks the others out?

Answer: Dr. Haakon-Fritz

The winter storms damaged the ward-off generator, so the jackals attack the archaeologists. Alex distracts the jackals so that the rest can get to safety.

8. What is the name of the second person known to have the plague?

Answer: Hank

Hank finds this world with caves on it filled with artifacts. Tia and Alex seal his ship so no one can claim the finder's fee on the artifacts he brought back.

Answer: Chart coordinates

The people who were using the planet for storage disabled the satellite. They spend some time hooking up the satellite so that it will announce other ships coming near the planet.

Answer: A cybernetic body

She gets a cybernetic body so that she can be with Alex. She also gets it so that she can go out on the digs with the archaeologists.
