Erasmus was a robot on Corrin who became trapped in a crevice, which prevented him from receiving regular updates from the computer evermind. This isolation contributed to the development of his independent nature, a peculiar personality that helped trigger the Butlerian Jihad. How long was he isolated from the evermind?

Both of these. One peculiarity that emerged was Erasmus' interest in studying humans. He temporarily relocated to Earth to continue his grisly experiments, and this move led to his fateful meeting with Serena Butler.

Iblis Ginjo was a work boss on Earth who was responsible for managing the construction of large buildings. In the course of his work, Ginjo occasionally came in contact with which one of the remaining Titans?

Ajax. Ajax was certainly the cruelest among the Titans with regard to human beings. He was the one most directly involved with the construction projects on Earth.

The Titans met each other through the vast computer network of the Old Empire. What was Agamemnon's human name?

Andrew Skouros. The Titans met and planned their conquest primarily through computer networks, where they took on the monikers of gods and heroes of ancient Earth. Julianna Parhi called herself "Juno," while Vilhelm Jayther called himself "Barbarossa."

Agamemnon himself entered into a duel with one of the computer evermind's machines, and was almost destroyed when the thinking machine combatant struck directly at what it thought was the Titan's transparent brain casing. Agamemnon survived by cleverly storing his real brain in a protected, opaque brain casing. How did Agamemnon finally destroy his enemy?

He used the explosives that comprised the decoy brain. The decoy brain was actually molded from powerful explosives, which Agamemnon used to dispatch the evermind's robot. But as of that moment, Agamemnon knew that the computer evermind was not beyond attempting to kill the Titans, despite programming that was supposed to prevent this.

Agamemnon's victory in the arena secured yet another boon from the computer evermind. He asked for permission to attack the planet of Rossak where the Sorceresses hailed from. He did so with the intention of avenging the death of which Titan?

Barbarossa. Barbarossa was on Giedi Prime after its conquest by the thinking machines, and was present when Serena Butler was captured. Unfortunately for him, Barbarossa was still on Giedi Prime when the League of Nobles retook the planet. The Titan perished at the "hands" of one of the Sorceresses from Rossak.

The League of Nobles regarded the people of the Unallied Planets as cowards for not joining in the resistance against the thinking machines. As a result, many in the League did not have any compunctions about collecting slaves from these "neutral" worlds. What were these Zensunni and Zenshiites from the Unallied Planets collectively known as?

Buddislamics. All the Buddislamics were pacifists to a certain degree, while "Wanderers" specifically referred to the Zensunni tribes who eventually settled on Arrakis. "Hrethgir" is a term the thinking machines and the Titans used for the humans not living among the Synchronized Worlds.

Merchant Tuk Keedair had an assistant Ryx Hannem who was new to the business of gathering slaves from the Unallied Planets. However, Ryx met with great misfortune during a raid and was, as a result, put into stasis. What misfortune did he meet?

He was bitten by poisonous insects. One of the native boys threw a basket that contained poisonous insects at Ryx, who was then stung repeatedly.

Norma Cenva's imaginative approach to her work with Savant Holtzman led to the development of the personal shield. However, her calculations showed a potential problem if a lasgun beam intersected a shield. What mathematical expression did she use to describe the potentially catastrophic lasgun/shield interaction?

Singularity. Savant Holtzman did not believe there would be a problem, so Norma went over his head and appealed directly to Lord Bludd. A test on a lifeless asteroid proved her correct.

As a result of a "bet" with the computer evermind, Erasmus tested the loyalty of several human trustees on Earth, thus unwittingly planting the seeds for the Butlerian Jihad. What specific event, the last in a sequence of events, finally triggered the Jihad?

The destruction of a robot at the hands of Serena Butler. Erasmus resented the presence of Serena's child, considering it to be a distraction from what the robot believed were instructive conversations with Serena. Iblis Ginjo and many others watched Erasmus mercilessly drop Serena's child from a balcony. In her anguish, Serena managed to send one of the Erasmus' robots over the edge as well. Iblis Ginjo considered this to be the sign he was waiting for, and sent word to his people to begin the rebellion.

Iblis Ginjo, Serena Butler, and Vorian Atreides were able to escape Earth aboard the "Dream Voyager." What was the final resolution of the rebellion on Earth?

The League sent the Armada to destroy Earth. The thinking machines quelled the rebellion on Earth in the most efficient way they knew, which was to kill all humans left on Earth. The League Armada, led by Xavier Harkonnen, traveled to Earth with the intention of destroying all thinking machines on the planet. The only way to do so was with atomics, which left Earth in radioactive ruins.
