Yup, this pretty much describes very well why this is so appealing for Dr. Ytterbium.
(Or to use a slightly different metaphor, it's like Forrest Gump's infamous box of chocolates!)
This will be elaborated on in the next page...
It's a weird word, for sure!
Not being a native speaker, I even had to look up what it actually means! Apparently, it's more or less synonymous to "tailor-made" - which usually applies to suits and stuff, so in the case of the subscription boxes, I guess it's supposed to invoke that they've been assembled to cater to the individual customer's taste...
One should think hope Ytterbium is smart enough to take proper precautions before doing that.
(Perhaps she also has one of those nifty see-through hazmat suits...?)
After all the effort they put into fetching it from the orbit...
Also, Alexandra wants to touch the thing and take it apart, damnit!
That being said, she probably could actually build a rocket or something...
With the proper resources, that is.
Guess who could give her that resources...
edit: those guys need to rent a forklift

-unidentified energy weapon
-encrypted communications gear
And all of that in a man-portable package!
(You obviously went for the Raiders of the Lost Ark vibe.)
Exclusivity.
You can't just say: "Oh, today I'll go to the mall and buy a satellite."
Like I said before, the next page will elaborate on that...

That was exactly what I thought of when I saw her expression!
Glad to hear that it works so well!

You may have noticed that the Koganans are all about ostriches - especially their leader, General Volstruis Mbuni! ;-D
