Spike snuck out of his backpack and found the arboretum , where he made himself at home near a acacia tree. Cadet black was replicating a bed for him, when he made his daring escape. He was used to hiding in the backpack, but wanted to see where he was. Spike was born to a genetically modified mother, giving him about the intellect of a dog. He kept a bit of a sweet potato in his cheek, and decided to eat it now under the tree. Spike tried to burrow but the hull of the ship, prevented the tiny hedgehog from doing so.
