Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who gives the Liberator its name?

Answer: Jenna

When Jenna is figuring out what the different buttons on the control panel do, Zen holds her captive for a minute and reads her mind. It takes the name 'Liberator' from her thoughts.

Answer: His brother

Avon's brother beckons to him and says his name, while Jenna sees Federation guards torturing her mother. Blake sees through the trap, because when he was deprogrammed by the resistance members on Earth he learned that his siblings were dead, so he knows the projections are illusions.

3. What is the name of the ship transporting prisoners to the prison planet?

Answer: London

The Ortega is the ship in 'Mission to Destiny'.

4. How does the young prisoner Nova die?

Answer: He is trapped in the ventilation shaft next to the hull when it is breached

Poor little Nova. He gets into the ventilation shaft to be useful: "Well let me do it, I haven't done anything yet!" When the ship's hull is damaged, the exposed areas including the shaft fill up with soap suds...*ahem*...sorry, sealing gel... which goes hard in seconds.

5. Who drops his gun when Gan gives the order, "Drop your guns," aboard the prison ship?

Answer: Vila

"I got confused," says Vila as they are placed in custody again and their first escape plan is foiled.

6. Why is Blake confined to his seat at the end of the first episode, 'The Way Back'?

Answer: He did not put his seatbelt on

Blake didn't hear the guard's order to fasten his harness because he was still hoping for a reprieve before take off.

7. How many of the future Liberator crew are holding the prison ship to ransom from the computer room when Subcommander Raiker threatens to kill a prisoner every thirty seconds?

Answer: 3

Avon, Blake and Jenna are in the computer room and so have control of the ship, but they give themselves up at Blake's instigation when Raiker starts shooting the prisoners.

8. Why do Blake and Jenna think Avon will betray them to the prison ship crew?

Answer: He is the only one capable of faking the ship's running log

Avon, being a computer whiz, is the only person on the ship who can fake the running log. In Jenna's words, "He fixes the log, the crew dump us, pocket the profit and set him free." The reason he doesn't do it, as Blake points out, is that the crew would have to kill him to keep him quiet.

9. "Wisdom must be gathered. It cannot be given." Which of the seven says this line?

Answer: Zen

Zen unhelpfully says this when Avon asks if the teleport system will be harmful to them.

10. What is their first destination in Liberator?

Answer: A prison planet

They go to rescue the others who were on the London with them. "We've got a ship and we can go anywhere we like," says Jenna. "Follow the London to Cygnus Alpha," is Blake's suggestion. "And then we can free the rest of the prisoners." Avon is not overly impressed.
