Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Eye, a Centauri artifact has just been found after being lost in battle. What was the name of that battle?

Answer: Battle of Nashok

Londo: "This is not a piece of jewelry, this is not 'the merchandise'. This is the Eye, the oldest symbol of Centauri nobility, the property of the very first emperor." Londo and Kiro reclaim the Eye from a trader he has hired to find it. Kiro betrays Londo and sets up a scenario in which the Eye is stolen by raiders, actually in league with Kiro.

After Morden received the correct response to his question from Londo, he sends the Shadows to recover the Eye, and returns it to Londo.
2. Which ambassador does Mr. Morden visit first?

Answer: G'Kar

Although Morden is seen to be observing Londo first (when he accepts the Eye from the trader), Morden approaches G'Kar first. G'Kar answers his question in such a way that Morden seems thrilled at first, but really all G'Kar wants is for his planet to live peacefully.
3. What is Morden's famous question?

Answer: What do you want

He asks this to the ambassadors of the Narn, Centauri and Minbari. He does not approach Kosh, probably knowing that the Vorlon are hostile to him. He also does not approach anyone from the Earth Alliance, although we don't *really* find out why.
4. What is the name of the Centauri seer that comes on board the station?

Answer: Lady Ladira

Lady Ladira is Kiro's aunt, although he doesn't believe everything she says (since she once said he would be killed by shadows). When she arrives on the station, she receives a vision of the destruction of Babylon 5, with only a shuttle escaping.
5. Who did the seer correctly predict was going to kill Lord Kiro?

Answer: shadows

When the Shadows went to retrieve the Eye from the raiders, they blew up the ship, killing Lord Kiro. Londo: "Then you don't believe her vision?" Kiro: "She's been wrong before. On my first birthday she said that someday I would be killed by...the shadows." Londo: "Shadows?" Kiro: "Doesn't exactly make sense, does it?"
6. What is the name of the freighter that is attacked by raiders?

Answer: Achilles

This shuttle was being attacked by raiders, although it was just a distraction to get the starfuries away from Babylon 5 so that the raiders could retrieve the Eye and Lord Kiro. The plan did not succeed, since Ivanova and Delta Wing were able to make it back in time to join in the battle.
7. Who is the commander of Delta Wing?

Answer: Ivanova

Ivanova is in command of Delta Wing. When Delta Wing is deployed to catch the raiders and save the transport she is the one calling the shots. We see in later episodes that she is usually the officer that accompanies Delta Wing, and Garibaldi usually accompanies Alpha Wing.
8. How many starfuries did the station lose in the battle with the raiders?

Answer: 2

Garibaldi gives the damage report to Sinclair -- some damage to the station, two starfuries destroyed (although they only lost one pilot), and Kosh needs to repair his encounter suit.
9. Finish the quote: "Why does my mouth always taste like __________ in the morning?"

Answer: old carpet

This is one of my favortie scenes when Ivanova has just been woken up by her alarm. Computer: "Good morning. The time is oh-four-thirty, Earth-standard, Wednesday, August third, 2258. Personal log shows no outstanding appointments. Shall I download station-logs for past six hours?" Ivanova: "Sure, grab it, store it, shove it." Computer: "Clarification?" Ivanova: "Never mind. Why does my mouth always taste like old carpet in the morning?" Computer: "Unknown. Checking medical logs."
10. To whom is this line being said: "Sleeping is not the problem. Waking up...that is a problem. I've always had a hard time getting up when it's dark outside."

Answer: Sinclair

Ivanova goes on duty in C&C, where Sinclair is there to greet her. He asks: "Sleep well?" Ivanova: "Sleeping is not the problem. Waking up...that is a problem. I've always had hard time getting up when it's dark outside." Sinclair: "But in space it's always dark." Ivanova: "I know, I know."
11. Finish the quote: "Let me buy you a drink! Let me buy you a whole _____ of drinks!"

Answer: fleet

Londo says this to Morden after he has returned the Eye to Londo, thereby saving his name and reputation, although Morden has already disappeared down the hall.
12. Finish the quote: "The ______ is always changing. We create the ______: with our words, our deeds and with our beliefs. This is a possible ______, Commander, and it is my hope that you may yet avoid it."

Answer: future

This is Lady Ladira's parting words to Sinclair after she has shared her vision with him. In the end, the vision came true although it did not mean what they thought it did.
13. Who said the following quote: "I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to look back or to look forward."

Answer: Londo

This is part of Londo's reply to Morden: "All right. Fine. You really want to know what I want? You really want to know the truth? I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again and command the stars. I want a rebirth of glory, a renaissance of power. I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to look back or to look forward. I want us to be what we used to be! I want...I want it all back, the way that it was. Does that answer your question?"
14. Who said the following quote: "Nuts."

Answer: Ivanova

"Nuts" is one of the most common phrases used in Babylon 5. It has been uttered by at least four different characters (Garibaldi, Sinclair, Ivanova, Sheridan) throughout the course of the show, but this time it is said by Ivanova.
15. Who said the following quote: "Leave me. Get out. Now...They're here."

Answer: Delenn

This is not the famous Kosh quote ("Leave this place. They are not for you. Go. Leave. Now."), but it is amazing how closely they resemble each other. This quote is Delenn's reaction to Morden once she realizes that he is related somehow to the Shadows.

She realizes what he is when the bit of triluminary material which has been implanted in her forehead (as well as the other Satai) causes the silver triangle to appear on her forehead.
