This beaded probe by Betsy Youngquist is part of an interstellar space training group comprised of mineral/biological hybrids. Urchin was sent to an orphan asteroid as his specialty in bird song cipher became obsolete. Dinos and birds were all designated extinct in their natural habitats and were only living as reconfigured clones in biospheres. Urchin knows deep in his heart that natural birds still thrive out there somewhere, and he is keen on finding them. As soon as he can slip out from under the watchful eyescopes of the robonannies he will be out there looking for his beloved birds.
