Answer: Kelsey

Kelsey and Bester arrive on the station to track down Jason Ironheart, who has gone rogue. Kelsey ends up dying in this episode, killed by Jason Ironheart. Chen Hikaru and Lauren Ashley are the two Psi Cop interns in the episode "The Corps is Mother, The Corps is Father."

Answer: Sigma 957

Sakai is looking for Quantium-40, the substance that powers jumpgates. G'Kar warns her not to go, since most ships that arrive never return. G'Kar: "They are a mystery and I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the Universe. That we have not yet explained everything. Whatever they are, Miss Sakai, they walk near Sigma 957 and they must walk there...alone."

Answer: He has telekinetic abilities

Jason Ironheart was experimented upon by Psi Corps in an attempt to create a stable telekinetic (although he thought they were just trying to make him a stronger telepath). Bester: "Mr. Ironheart is no longer what you or I would consider entirely human." Sinclair: "Then what is he?" Bester: "We don't know."

Answer: G'Kar

Since the region of space Sigma 957 is in is contested space, Sakai needs the approval of the Narn government before she attempts her surveying mission. G'Kar warns her not to go because strange things happen in the area. Sakai says that he is just being selfish since the Narn government probably wants the planet for themselves. G'Kar replies with the above line.

Answer: Universal Terraform

Universal Terraform is a mining company that operates out of Earth. They hire private surveyors to travel to new planets, searching for minerals and substances that would be profitable to mine. Sakai was hired to find Quantium-40, a very rare substance.

Answer: Jack the Ripper

Just another telepath-friendly Ivanova quote. She says this after the B5 command staff find out that the Psi Cops were witholding the true nature of the danger that Ironheart was to the station. Bester says that they underestimated his abilities.

Answer: 0.1%

Ironheart to Talia: "Only one in every thousand humans has telepathic abilities. Only one in every ten thousand telepaths has telekinetic abilities. And half of them are clinically insane." There are very few humans with telepathic abilities and even fewer telepaths with telekinetic abilities.

Answer: telekinetic abilities

Ironheart tells Talia that he has left her a gift. It is the start of telekinetic abilities, as we see by her moving the penny with a thought. We learn that there is another half to the gift in "A Race Through Dark Places", where we find that her telekinetic abilities have been shielded, so that even Bester can not find out.

Answer: useless left hand

Although the disability is not specifically mentioned in this episode, it is clearly visible. This was actually Walter Koenig's idea for the character. This and his small size gives Bester an inferiority complex that he has had to make up for in his personality...making him appear overbearing and superior to everyone else he meets.
