Why did they have to leave Earth to run into bad guys? There were bad guys everywhere on Earth. If they were really explorers, they would explore the ...irst planet they arrived at. There was no need to go to the next one. Of course, the stories about alien invaders getting beaten by Earth people were stupid. Some group travels across space using technology we can't dream of only to get beaten by a bunch of primitive savages."How about Cat and Bambi?" Eve asked."I think Cat feels the same way.

When they gave her that five hundred dollars, she told them she would repay them, or try to, but they refused, telling her instead to just pass it on to someone else who was in need.
