    After Breckenridge loses to the Senior Drill Instructor, who fights him?"Starship Troopers" Before the Storm

      Dizzy. After Zim gave his speech he asked if there was anyone who had what it took to "knock him down".

When she was asked what made her think she was good enough for it, she decided to "knock him down". She got a few blunt and brutal hits on Zim, but was ultimately defeated. She still stayed in the new unit, however.

    Who was Johnny's Senior Drill Instructor?"Starship Troopers" Before the Storm

      Carl, Johnny and Carmen. The last time all three of them were together, before they were shipped off to the academy, Carmen proposed they stay friends forever. Carl reasoned that they'd be light-years apart and probably never see each other again, but decided to make the vow anyway.

    When Carl applied for Starside R and D, he got something else instead. What?"Starship Troopers" Before the Storm

    In the Jump Ball game, what number was Johnny?"Starship Troopers" Before the Storm

      Seven. You only get a few chances to see it, but you can. The numbers didn't actually play a significant part in the story. The Jump Ball game was where Johnny met Zander for the first time and told the audience just how athletic Johnny was. He used some of the plays from the Jump Ball game during his training for the Mobil Infantry. Zander, Johnny's rival in almost every way, was twelve. Zander was on the opposite team, started hitting on Carmen, and was in the Fleet, as opposed to Johnny who was in the Mobil Infantry. Carmen actually broke up with Johnny for Zander, as Zander was in the fleet with her, making a relationship easier.

    Carl, the psychic, had a pet named Cyrano. What animal was Cyrano?"Starship Troopers" Before the Storm

      Ferret. Cyrano ran out of his tunnel system and ran across Carl's keyboard. To get rid of Cyrano, Carl used his psychic abilities to plant the image of a grub up his own mom's leg, in Cyrano's mind. Cyrano ran up the stairs. After a quick explanation of what he did, they heard the screams of Carl's mother.
