"X-Files" - "Medusa" Trivia Quiz

Answer: "White male, shaved head, 20s."

The undercover transit cop radioed in the description of the "fare-jumper" and waited for the train on the platform. When the train came, he sat down and didn't see the suspect board, so called in an "all clear." When the suspect stepped through the door from another car, though, the cop reached for his gun.

Unfortunately, the train screeched to a sudden stop, throwing the cop from his seat and unarming him. When the cop was found, his face was eaten away by what seemed to be acid.

Answer: 5 hours

According to his little diatribe, he was being hounded by both the press and the mayor because the line had already been closed for over 11 hours. He gave the agents only five hours to look into the crime before he reopened the line at 4 pm for the afternoon rush.

Answer: "I'm just a good shot."

The rest of the team was Hellura Lyle, the CDC representative; Steven Melnick, a structural engineer who oversaw construction of he tunnel; and Lieutenant Bianco, who was being sent as a representative of the transit police.

Answer: neck

As they were walking through the tunnels, some of the substance fell on the back of his neck, burning him. Eventually, his conditioned worsened until it appeared as though the skin on his arms were being burned by electricity from the inside out.

Answer: plastic

There were three bodies wrapped in plastic and left in the unused tunnel. Scully suspected that Deputy Chief Karras knew about the bodies and stashed them in the tunnel to prevent the truth from coming out.

Answer: calcium

Dr. Bowe, a marine biologist from Boston University, explained to Scully that the seawater she'd sent in for analysis contained medusas, miniscule creatures that are made up primarily of calcium. Bowe explained that calcium was "what powers its movement and gives it bioluminescence."

Answer: no

Despite Scully telling him to leave Bianco for the hazmat team, Doggett caved to Bianco's pleas and supported him so they could continue down the tunnel together.

Answer: sweat

When Doggett found the boy who was completely unaffected, Scully realized that sweat was probably causing the reaction because "perspiration is a conductor for calcium ions promoting a chemical-electrical reaction." She noted that, because the boy's sweat glands were underdeveloped, he wasn't conducting the reaction as much as the grown men were.

Answer: alcohol bath

She came to his hospital room after talking to the nurse and told him the good news. Wanting to leave the hospital, Doggett started back toward the dressing area before remembering that he was wearing one of these awful backless paper dresses. Not wanting to show Scully his bum, he hilariously backed his way to the dressing area while Scully averted her eyes.

Answer: no

When Doggett dropped the wet gun on the train track just before the train came, it caused an electrical reaction that effectively wiped out the entire organism, leaving no proof of what Scully and Doggett had found.
