Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who founded the Parapsychic Center? He was a PreCog and married his nurse Molly.

Answer: Darrow

It was Molly who noticed that Henry Darrow's precognitive incident about their marriage registered on the Goosegg, documenting the existence of 'Talent'. They did marry a short time later.

2. Who owned the estate, that became the home of the Parapsychic Center?

Answer: Henner

Henner and Darrow made a bet: If Henner died at precisely the moment Darrow had predicted, the Talents would inherit his fortune and estate. If however he died a moment sooner or later, they would get nothing. Henner lived a long life enjoying his bet, teasing Darrow and 'reluctantly' helping the Talents. He died exactly at the predicted time.

3. A young girl play in the room where people wait to find out if they are truly Talented. Who is this girl?

Answer: Dorotea

The Talents noted that Dorotea would home in on anyone talented in the room. This allowed them to screen the 'Hopefulls' a lot faster.

4. What was Ruth's Talent?

Answer: Microkinetics

Ruth's Talent was so illusive, so hard to find, that for a very long time the Talents thought she was a latent. She only uses her talent unconciously: To make her idea of a perfect child - Dorotea.

5. Ruth's husband Lajos has a very different Talent. Which?

Answer: Precognition

Lajos has precognitive incidents about fire and is employed by an insurance company to find potential 'hot spots'.

6. A young woman has the ability to control large crowds if her boyfriend is nearby. Who am I describing?

Answer: Amalda

She wanted to be a performer, but it wasn't until she met Bruce (Red)Vaden things started to happen. When he was nearby she could make the audience feal good or happy or any other emotion fitted her song.

7. Who took over the Center when the founder died?

Answer: Owen

Daffyd op Owen, a Telepath, had to fight Zeusman for a very long time on the point of Talented immunity.

8. Who tries to abduct Amalda?

Answer: Roznine

Roznine wanted Amalda to put a dampener on a counsilmeeting, because the meetings usually ended up in a lot of shouting and no work getting done.

9. Two Senators debate a bill which will grant Talents a measure of immunity from the law. Who opposes the Talents?

Answer: Zeusman

Senator Mansfield Zeusman really don't like Talents, to the point where he sometimes declares that it's all a hoax. He does however believe enough in their 'powers' to want op Owen 'shielded' at a meeting, so that he can't 'influence' the participants.
Allthough Zeusman is their main opponent, the Talents save his life by averting an explosion that had been precog'ed.

10. What is the name of the Senator who speak for the Talents?

Answer: Andres

In preventing the explosion, that would have killed Senator Zeusman, an experiment that could have resulted in a cure for Senator Andres was destroyed. As it turned out Senator Andres had a spontaneous remission and was soon well again. Joel Andres' "spontaneous" remission was actually caused by Ruth's microkinetic manipulation...in her sleep no less.(Thanks to Lindav310)
