Answer: 200 credits

 He gives him 200 credits of his own money and has already paid 10,000 credits to another ship to take Tom to Sol. Tom spots the trap and runs, and Christian loses all his money.
6. What is tattooed on Capella's wrist?

Answer: Bok's Equation

 Bok's Equation is the equation needed to get the ship through a Hyperspace Jump. Capella is a navigator and also a 'Nightwalker' - she can stay awake through a jump in Hyperspace.
7. Which colour nutrient drink does Tom dislike?

Answer: Green

 They are all unpleasant but he hates the green most. The drinks are necessary to replace the minerals the body loses during a Hyperspace jump.
8. What is in the 'can' that Corinthian sends across to the Fleet ship at Tripoint?

Answer: Bottle of Scotch

 They send a bottle of Scotch as cover for a secret message.
9. Whose spacesuit does Tom borrow to unload Corinthian at the supply dump freighter?

Answer: Michael's

 He takes Michael's suit and this lets him get further into the freighter's hold because people don't realise it's him inside.

Answer: Havoc

 Once the code is inputted, the freighter's systems come online.

12. What souvenir did Tom bring back from the gardens?

Answer: A leaf

 The gardens are amazing to people who spend their whole lives in space and have never even seen a planet's surface. The rule is, if a leaf falls in your hand you can keep it and Tom catches one on his tour.
13. What are Austin's last words to Marie?

Answer: Love You

 He says "Love You" which is odd in view of the fact that she has hated him for 23 years, and has plotted to get revenge on him all that time.
14. How does Tom change his appearance during the liberty on Pell?

Answer: A wild haircut

 He uses Christian's money to buy new clothes and gets a wild haircut with half his head shaved - this is the height of fashion! When he returns to Corinthian, Christian doesn't recognise him.
15. Who is the "Spook" that Capella wants to avoid at any cost?

Answer: Patrick

 The mysterious Patrick is known to Capella from her days with the Fleet. She admits he is a danger to the Corinthian but refuses to say more and begs Austin to trust her that Patrick must be avoided.
