ReBoot 2.9: "Trust No One" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dot

After Al's waiter was taken away by some strange creature, the episode moved to Dot's Diner. There, Bob was having a conversation with Mouse. That was when Bob was first enlightened about the disappearances occurring in Level 31. Enzo told Bob that Dot disappeared before she could pick up him and AndrAIa from school. Dot was to have a meeting with Al in Level 31, so her disappearance fit the profile of the other abductions perfectly.

Hearing the news, Bob was immediately on the case.

Answer: The X-Files

Agent Fax Modem was clearly a parody of Agent Fox Mulder from "The X-Files". Agent Data Nully was a parody of Agent Scully from "The X-Files". It was a little known fact that Gillian Anderson, the actress who played Scully, also did the voice-work for Agent Nully in "ReBoot". David Duchovny, the actor who played Mulder in the TV show, did not want to do any voice-work on "ReBoot" so a sound-alike was used for the role.

After Bob was informed by the two agents that they worked for Phong, he decided it was best to ask them some questions of his own regarding the disappearances.

Answer: "Streets of Fear"

After his news broadcast, Mike and the rest of his crew were taken out by the mysterious creature that was abducting people in Mainframe. Lucky for Mike, the creature was repelled by something it could not handle. Until Mike was resuscitated, it was not revealed what the creature's reason was for leaving him in the alley.

Answer: Mouse

After hearing the theory that Mouse was responsible for the kidnappings, Bob shut it down claiming that she was an old friend. Other than the fact that Mouse was near every abduction, the agents' main reason for suspecting her was that she had fangs. Agent Fax Modem suspected that Mouse was a Web creature. Bob thought that theory was even more ridiculous than anything he had ever heard before.

Answer: His sister was eaten by one.

Before hearing the noise given off by the creature, Fax Modem was explaining to Bob how his sister was taken. When he was a little null, Fax Modem was reading comic bytes in his bed. He apparently lifted his covers and saw a Web creature hovering above his sister's bed.

It ate his sister, and when he shone his flashlight on it, it let out a horrible sound, just like the one they heard outside Al's Diner. The back-story given by Fax Modem was very similar to that of Fox Mulder's in "The X-Files". In "The X-Files", Mulder's sister was abducted and taken away by aliens when he was a kid.

In the final "X-Files" movie, it was revealed by a psychic that his sister was no longer alive.

Answer: To drain sprite energy and feed it to the Web creature.

There were many sacks in the room, all of them filled with the captured sprites. After Mouse breached the sack that Dot was in, some tubes were revealed inside it. Apparently, the Web creature was using sprite energy to maintain it's stability in Mainframe. Thanks to a tracking beam by Glitch, Bob was able to locate Dot, Mouse and the Web creature.

Answer: They shone their flashlights on it.

Before Dot and Mouse could run away from the creature's lair, it appeared through a vent in the wall. Dot was grabbed and she was almost deleted when the agents activated their flashlights and subdued the beast. It dropped Dot and it remained motionless because of the light. A security team was also on their way, and they had powerful flashlights that could hold the creature for hours.

Answer: It could create portals and invade the Net.

When Bob asked Mouse who she was talking to, she revealed to Bob that she was talking to the cavalry. Bob could not believe that she was talking to Turbo and the guardians. He told her that the guardians had one simple rule for dealing with a system with a Web creature in it: destroy the system in it's entirety.

Answer: A bomb

Bob grabbed Mouse's communicator and scanned it with Glitch. He found that it contained a bomb and that the guardians wanted to annihilate Mainframe. Bob grabbed the explosive and headed for a place to jettison the bomb, a place where no-one in Mainframe could be hurt by the blast.

While Bob did that, a security team with ultra high-powered flashlights arrived near the Web creature to hold it at bay for just a little while longer. As Bob took the bomb to the safest distance possible, it detonated, producing the largest tear ever witnessed in the Net.

The light from the tear also influenced the Web creature to try and escape.

Answer: The Web

Because the Web creature was a Class-M, it meant that it could open portals. Because Bob took away the bomb that was meant to destroy the creature and Mainframe, the creature was kept alive. Hearing the formation of a large tear, the creature broke through the solid concrete roof above it and headed up towards the tear.

The creature opened it into a large portal to the Web. Bob was noticeably distressed as he told Phong to prepare for war...
