Answer: Loren Smith, a Congresswoman

Loren Smith met the group at the airport. She was driving Dirk's car, a 1921 Marmon town car. The car was dusty rose in color, had a V-16 engine, and was one of only 390 ever built.

Answer: Pictures from her digital camera

While diving in the underwater chambers, Summer and Dirk, Jr. had taken over thirty pictures. They shared these photos during the meeting; they included images of the entry arch, a stone bed, and a cauldron.

Answer: That Summer and Dirk, Jr. had almost died in Hurricane Lizzie

Answer: Al's date, Micky Levy

Al's date, Micky Levy, was a geologist. She told the group that, several years ago, she had been hired by Odyssey to research limestone caverns in Nicaragua as part of a plan to build an underground canal. She had been told that the project had been cancelled.

Answer: Poco Bonito

The Poco Bonito was a Numa research vessel. She was outfitted with the latest research equipment. Unlike other such vessels, the Poco Bonito was capable of reaching high speeds. The boat had been disguised as a beaten-up fishing trawler so she would blend in with the other boats in the area. Poco Bonito means "little tuna" in Spanish.

Answer: He believed someone had planted a bomb on the boat.

When Dirk and Al had initially boarded the Poco Bonito, Dirk had noticed a woman with wet hair watching them from a lavender pickup truck. Later, when he let her know he had seen her, the woman fled the scene abruptly. Her quick departure, combined with her surveillance of the boat and her wet hair, caused Dirk to suspect that a bomb had been planted on the Poco Bonito.

Answer: A hologram of the ship of the legendary pirate Leigh Hunt

Before arriving in Nicaragua, Dirk and Al had learned of the legend that Captain Leigh Hunt and his pirate ship haunted the area. They were hardly surprised to see a hologram of the ghost ship, although it initially spooked the rest of the crew. Dirk and Al used a nightscope to locate the two unlit boats that were projecting the image.

Answer: Official charts indicated only a small fishing village in the area.

When they were close enough to see the container port, Rudy Gunn explained that charts of the area indicated only a small fishing town called Barra del Rio Maiz. Dirk theorized that the busy port had been created to assist in the development of the underground canal.

Answer: All of these

The speaker had a deep Southern accent, and told the crew of the Poco Bonito that they must abandon their vessel within sixty seconds and make no attempt to use their communciations systems. If they complied, they would be dropped off at a nearby port. If they didn't, the Epona would destroy the Poco Bonito.

Answer: An unconcious woman wearing a bikini

Pitt insisted on boarding the damaged yacht Epona to look for survivors. He had almost given up hope of finding anyone when he tripped over the unconscious body of a woman wearing a designer bikini. She had been knocked out and rendered unable to escape with the rest of the crew on the helicopter.
