Reading over the quiz before answering, Stark tries very hard not to giggle madly at the extra credit. Not that he's been waiting for a good opportunity to go into this. Not at all. So, after answering the first 7 questions in a handwavey sort of way he started on the extra credit, looking a little too gleeful.

EC: Yes. I believe in aliens. Of course I believe in aliens. Hard to not believe that I exist, after all. I'm a Banik, not a human. I have met a lot of aliens. Like you. And everyone else here. And many more before I got here. Many, many more. Too many, I think. And most of them were not friendly, not friendly at all. Not many were little and green either like so many people seem to think, that's just Rygel. I prefer the blue aliens to the green ones. Blue is a much, much better color for someone to be than green is. So, yes, I believe in aliens.

1. An environmental event (such as reward or praise) that reinforces or increases the probability of a behavioral response.

2. Jean Piaget

3. Is both good and bad and damnit, I'm not writing out again what I lost when the laptop died on me

4. Early Adulthood (22-34 Years)
Psychosocial Crisis: Intimacy vs. Isolation
Central Task: Caregiving
Positive Outcome: Form close relationships and share with others
Ego Quality: Love
Definition: Capacity for mutuality that transcends childhood dependency
Developmental Task: Stable relationships; Child rearing; Work etc

5. False memory syndrome (FMS) is the term for the hypothesis describing a state of mind wherein sufferers have a high number of highly vivid but false memories. One example is alien abductions although there are examples where they're not false memories at all

6. A disorder that develops after a person experiences a psychologically distressing event outside the range of usual human experience - a natural disaster such as an earthquake, an accidental disaster such as a plane crash, or a manmade disaster such as war or rape. Post-traumatic stress disorder is characterized by reexperiencing the traumatic event, avoidance of stimuli associated with it, or a numbing of general responsiveness that was not present before the trauma.

7. Dream interpretation is the art of determining the meaning (or alleged meaning) of the symbolic content of a dream. According to Jung, there are big dreams and little dreams. Dreams are the manifestation of unconcious creativity. Interpreting them is relating the symbolic meaning of the dream to the concious situation of the dreamer.

EC: Yes and yes. [[Elizabeth paused and sighed. That probably wasn't going to cut it]] I used to room with one. [[There we go]]

Krycek answers the quiz omghandwavey, argh, though at the extra credit he pauses, frowning slightly.

Yes. And yes.

Realizing that may require further explanation he continues.

Technically there are certain people in Fandom that qualify as aliens, but I've met the people-abducting type in my own world as well. It's never amounted to anything pleasant.
