Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. NamTar uses the DNA of Moya's crew to make maps showing them how to get home using a genetic database. Whose sample does he use first?

Answer: Zhaan

John is seen taking a needle in his eye for his sample in the opening shot, but the first sample he uses to show the crew his map is Zhaan's.
2. How many species are in NamTar's database?

Answer: 11 million

John becomes frustrated when out of 11 million species, NamTar can't even guide him in the right direction toward Earth.
3. What kind of alien is NamTar?

Answer: None of these

NamTar was once a lab rat for the scientists working on theories of quantum genetics, and isolating and identifying the origins of intellect, according to Kornata. Scorvian's are the aliens mentioned in "Back and Back and Back to the Future," while Sheyang's are seen in "PK Tech Girl." Trigapod is what John named the squid-like creatures in "Rhapsody in Blue." Fun trivia note, NamTar is "Rat Man" spelled backwards.
4. What capabilities does NamTar NOT possess?

Answer: Multitasking capabilities

NamTar wanted Pilot's multitasking capabilities and his heightened perceptions, as they were not skills he had acquired yet. He shows his mental capabilities when he moves objects (and John) with his mind, regenerative capabilities when he heals from Aeryn's pulse blast, and biocontrol capabilities when he turns his nerve receptors to feel pleasure instead of pain.
5. Which of these pop culture references does John NOT make?

Answer: The Secret of NIMH

John, having learned that Moya will only be able to download one map from NamTar's crystal, tells Aeryn that, "Larry, Curly, and Moe just found out that they can only use one of the maps. Two of them ain't going nowhere. I tell you, it's a regular Family Feud up there." John later forms the food cubes into the pattern of a happy face for Aeryn, which of course, she doesn't get at all.

The Secret of NIMH is an animated movie about rats.
6. What do we learn about Rygel in this episode?

Answer: All of these

D'Argo attempts to get NamTar's crystal from Rygel, but the Hynerian laughs, saying he has hiding places in his cell that even Peacekeeper scent hounds couldn't find. Zhaan attempts to seduce Rygel to find out where he's hiding the crystal, playing with his extra-sensitive earbrows. Rygel confesses he's "not made that way" and that Hynerian's are not body breeders.
7. What would happen if the data in NamTar's crystal were input into Moya?

Answer: Moya would have all her data erased

Kornata, NamTar's reluctant assistant, tells John that if the crystal is used, it will give Moya a virus and erase all her data, which includes her memory as well. Luckily, John stops Rygel before he can download the crystal's data.
8. What historical figure does John compare NamTar to?

Answer: Josef Mengele

Josef Mengele, known as the Angel of Death, was an SS officer during WWII, and experimented on prisoners in concentration camps. Hitler was the leader of the Nazis during WWII, and Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist who did the famous Milgram experiment, to see if they could get a person to "shock" another just because someone in authority told them to.
9. Who said, "It appears your crystal is useless. Lucky for you, you didn't trade anything of real value to get it."

Answer: Pilot

Pilot actually takes a shot at D'Argo, Zhaan, and Rygel here, since they cut off his arm to get Namtar's crystal.
10. How does this episode end?

Answer: D'Argo plays his Shilquen

D'Argo, not one for apologies, plays his Shilquen for Pilot to make amends for cutting off one of his arms for NamTar. John makes a happy face with food cubes just before that scene. Aeryn and John on the terrace is the final scene for "Exodus from Genesis" and Zhaan reassuring D'Argo about his future is from "Thank God It's Friday...Again."
