2. Who is the unscheduled ship?

Moira is a brainship. Due to a fatal problem with Moira when she was born, she becomes a brainship. Charlie used to be her brawn, but he got married. Tomas is now her brawn.

3. What is Tia's birthday present from Moira?

Answer: A teddy bear

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.

First her feet go numb. Then it progresses to where she can only move her head. Her doctors think she got an alien virus.

6. Who does Tia choose as her brawn?

Answer: Alex

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.
