We'II swing back this way in a month,
make sure everything's okay.

If those hijackers so much as bIink
in your direction, yeII. We'II be here.

Roger, see you then.

Agamemnon out.

Initiate jump into hyperspace.

Jump point, aye.

Captain, we're getting a coded signaI
from Earth Dome on GoId ChanneI 1 .

It's Gen. Hague, Joint Chiefs of Staff.

-Patch it through to my office.
-Yes, sir.

Receive.

GeneraI, this is a surprise.
What can I do for you?

In the last few days, a Minbari warship
has been seen in Earth-controlled space.

Sector 423 by 27.

That wouId put it about two jumps
from BabyIon 5.

Exactly. We have reason to believe
it may have hostile intent.

I don't understand.

The war's been over for more
than 1 0 years.

Why wouId the Minbari government
Iaunch an attack?

They wouldn 't. We have a renegade
warship on our hands.

The Trigati.

Looks like it. We've had three separate
reports of sightings by ships in that area.

Has it attacked any of them?

Strangely enough, no, it hasn 't.
Not yet anyway.

But that may change
at any moment.

The Minbari government dispatched
a second cruiser...

...in hopes of finding the Trigati
before it does any damage.

But it may be a while before
that cruiser arrives.

When it does...

...I want you to make personal contact
with it and coordinate the search.

GeneraI, with aII due respect. . .

. . .the Iast time I made personaI contact
with a Minbari warship. . .

. . .I sent it straight to heII.

That's why I want you in that part
of space, captain.

You've beaten them once,
and, if necessary, you can do so again.

Tell no one about this.

Understood.

So I'm to take the Agamemnon
to BabyIon 5 and coordinate with them.

Is that correct?

Not exactIy.

I need you to do one other job.

And this comes straight
from the president.

Status report.
Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova recording.

It is now eight days since the death of
Earth Alliance President Luis Santiago...

...and five days since Cmdr. Sinclair
was recalled to Earth without explanation.

And the whole place has gone
straight to hell.

If the seating arrangement is changed. . .

. . .my government wiII withdraw
from the League!

And as far as I'm concerned, the
transports can wait tiII the sun expIodes!

If you're not happy with the seating
arrangements, your seats wiII be moved. . .

. . .outside, down the haII, across the
station and into the fusion reactor.

Am I absoIuteIy, perfectIy cIear on this?

I can only conclude that I'm paying off
karma at a vastly accelerated rate.

Security Chief Michael Garibaldi remains
in critical condition in Medlab.

Dr. Franklin 's done all he can,
but we still don 't know if he'll recover.

As for Ambassador Delenn...

... well, something's going on
in her quarters. That's for sure.

Ivanova.

We've got a Gold Channel message
for you. It's Gen. Hague.

I'II take it in the briefing room.

Computer, accept and decode
GoId ChanneI signaI.

GeneraI.

Lieutenant commander.

This may break the chain of command...

...but I felt I should deliver
this news myself.

Your commanding offic]er,
Cmdr. Sinclair...

... will not be returning to Babylon 5.
He's being reassigned, permanently.

The Babylon Project was our last,
best hope for peace.

A self-contained world, five miles long,
located in neutral territory.

A place of commerce and diplomacy for
a quarter of a million humans and aliens.

A shining beacon in space,
all alone in the night.

It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind.

The year the Great War
came upon us all.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2259.
The name of the place is Babylon 5.

What do you mean you're reassigning
Cmdr. SincIair?

He'll be the first Earth ambassador
allowed permanent residence there.

The president's been trying to find
someone suitable...

...and the Minbari
specific]ally requested Sinclair.

But why him?

That information is
on a need-to-know basis.

I've briefed Capt. Sheridan
on the situation.

-John Sheridan?
-I believe you know him.

Yes, I served under him
at the transfer point off Io.

He's a good man and a fine officer. . .

. . .but it wiII be a controversiaI choice.
If I may ask--

You may not. Any further questions
will have to go through your new CO.

Good day, lieutenant commander.

So. . .

. . .she's done it, hasn't she?

She's in there.

We toId her to wait.

''''Prophecy wiII attend to itseIf,''''
we toId her.

Now we are committed to the path.

I have spoken with the other members
of the CounciI.

The Trigati has been seen in this sector.

If it appears, you must go to the humans
and teII them what we've toId you.

It's time they knew the truth.

About the new captain--

I want an honor guard present
when his ship docks.

-We've bareIy got time--
-He's here.

-What?
-His Earthforce transport just docked.

There was a miscommunication
about the time.

-HeIIo, sir.
-Hi.

WeIcome aboard, sir.

I'm authorized to surrender command
of BabyIon 5 to you.

Thank you, Iieutenant commander.
I accept command.

There seems to be a probIem
with the unIoaders.

CouId my bags be deIivered
to my quarters?

Of course.

Thank you.

WouId you Iike a quick tour
of the faciIities?

-Yes, absoIuteIy.
-Great. Right this way.

It's good to see you again.
How was your fIight?

Fine. They actuaIIy had fresh
oranges on the transport.

I haven't had an orange
in aImost two years.

I used to dream about them.

Grapes, nectarines, pIums,
the bIack ones, not the red ones.

I mean, it's amazing what two years
on the Rim can do to you.

I have a hunch I'II be spending a Iot
of time in Hydroponics.

On the way in, I read the station reports,
trying to catch up on everything.

What's our status?

Chief of security is
in criticaI condition in MedIab.

He thinks there's a conspiracy
concerning the president's death.

Ambassador G'Kar has
mysteriousIy vanished.

We stiII don't know what Ambassador
Kosh Iooks Iike inside his encounter suit.

And Ambassador DeIenn is in a cocoon.

A cocoon?

As in a moth or a butterfIy?

Yes, sir.

About yea high.

Interesting pIace you have here.

Yes, sir.

Show me this pIace.

Babylon 5 is divided into several
different sections.

Green Sector is for diplomatic personnel
and is closed to unauthorized personnel.

Red Sector is for commerce....

And this wiII be your quarters.
I hope it's satisfactory?

It's fine. Fine.

It's certainIy a Iot bigger
than what I'm used to.

Does this pIace come with a shower?

I mean a reaI, Iive, honest-to-God shower
with running water?

Executive suites and command quarters
have showers with honest-to-God water.

The rest get vibe showers.

Our water recIamation system can't
handIe much more than that.

A shower. I may come to Iike it here.

Which brings me to something
I've been wanting to ask you.

It's kind of awkward.

You haven't worried
about being dipIomatic before.

Don't disappoint me by starting now.

When I heard about the change
in command, I figured we'd get. . .

. . .a high-IeveI bureaucrat or an admiraI
or an ambassador, and--

And why me?

Yeah, I wondered the same thing.
I was the Iate president's first choice. . .

. . .to repIace SincIair in case
anything happened.

WhiIe commanding the Agamemnon,
I worked with many Non-AIigned WorIds:

Centauri, Narns, even a few Minbari.

That's what I was concerned about.

The Minbari aren't going to be thriIIed
to find out you're running BabyIon 5.

-I hear they stiII caII you ''''StarKiIIer. ''''
-It was a Iong time ago, 1 2 years.

Maybe they've forgotten about it by now.

Yeah, I know. I don't beIieve it either.

WeII, one thing for sure.

I'II be reIying on you pretty heaviIy these
next few weeks untiI I'm up to speed.

It certainIy couIdn't be worse
than the Iast week.

With President Santiago's death
and everything.

-How's the crew handIing it?
-They're stiII pretty shocked.

I don't think the reaIity of it
has sunken in yet.

And you?

I don't know. I just. . . .

I just keep seeing Earthforce One bIowing
up over and over again in my dreams.

You know, aII my Iife I thought I couId
handIe everything and fix any probIem.

But when I saw that, I just. . .

. . .reaIized I couIdn't do anything
to stop it.

-I don't think I've ever feIt so heIpIess.
-I know. I feIt the same way.

And ever since then, the crew's needed
me to be strong for them, and I've tried.

I don't Iike to show weakness.

I guess I get it from my father.

With the madness of trying
to run this pIace. . .

. . .and the commander being caIIed back
to Earth and the ambassadors yeIIing. . . .

I don't know, I just. . . .

I just hope I've done okay by them.

Let's just say, I'm very happy to see you.

I appreciate that.

And coming from you, it means a Iot.

AIso, the crew is reaIIy Iooking forward
to meeting you.

They've heard aII about you. . .

. . .and right about now, they couId
use something to smiIe about.

Then we won't keep them waiting.

I'II take a shower, we'II head
to Command and ControI. . .

. . .and I'II give my good-Iuck speech.

Sir?

It's the same speech I gave when I took
command on Io on the Agamemnon.

It's sort of my good-Iuck charm.

I aIways give it within 24 hours
of taking on a new assignment.

I Iook forward to hearing it. Can I meet
you in C & C? I have to do something.

Of course. See you there in 20 minutes.

In VaIen's name, KaIain.

KaIain, wait!

KaIain!

We do not harm our own kind, KaIain.
We never have.

Perhaps it is time to start.

The Grey CounciI has betrayed us.
What does a IittIe bIood matter now?

No one has been betrayed.

No! No Iies.

We have intercepted a message
from the humans to Minbar.

We know they have chosen Sheridan
the StarKiIIer to Iead this pIace.

-It is an obscenity!
-We protested. They ignored us.

Satai DeIenn, did she aIso ignore you?

How do you know?

We have supporters even
among the CounciI.

They teII us that SincIair is now
on our worId.

-He is an ambassador.
-So you say.

But the Grey CounciI never teIIs
anyone the whoIe truth, does it?

If you vaIue your Iife, Ieave now,
whiIe you stiII can.

Good afternoon, Iieutenant commander.

How'd you know it was me?

WeII, it's 2:45. You aIways come by
at 2:45, see how he's doing.

So how's he doing?

StiII no change.

Managed to stabiIize his condition.

Dropped in as many regen packs
as his body can handIe.

Now aII we can do is wait and
see if he comes out of the coma.

CouId be hours, days, weeks.

Years?

Never?

Yeah.

So aII we can do is keep him
hooked up Iike this forever?

WeII, the human body
is an amazing thing.

It can cure itseIf. . .

. . .or it can simpIy decide that
the worId is too painfuI to deaI with. . .

. . .and won't cooperate no matter
how hard you try to heaI it.

That debate is going on somewhere
in GaribaIdi's body right now.

Just gonna have to wait
and see who wins.

WeII, then, I'II say a prayer
for him tonight.

He's agnostic.

Then I'II say haIf a prayer.

It was an earIy Earth president, Abraham
LincoIn, who best described our current--

Captain, they're ready for you.

Good.

Captain on deck.

As you were.

When I was 21 , I visited Tibet.

I went to see the new DaIai Lama.

You do that sort of thing when you're
21 and the son of a dipIomatic envoy.

We had a simpIe dinner:

Rice, raisins, carrots,
steamed, not boiIed. . .

. . .and green tea.

When it was over. . .

. . .he Iooked at me and said:

''''Do you understand?''''

I said, ''''No. '''' I didn't.

''''A good beginning,'''' he said.

''''You'II be even better when you begin to
understand what you do not understand. ''''

After reading some of your reports. . .

. . .I begin to understand what I don't
understand about BabyIon 5.

But I couIdn't wish for a more capabIe. . .

. . .and skiIIed group of peopIe
to Iearn from.

It was an earIy Earth president,
Abraham LincoIn. . .

. . .who best described
our current situation.

He said--

C & C, this is Security. We have a--

Is there a probIem?

I'm sorry to bother you, sir,
but I've got Security on the Iink.

They've got a Minbari demanding
to speak to you.

He won't say what it's about, onIy that
it invoIves the safety of this station.

He says it's absoIuteIy urgent.

WeII, we'II get back to this Iater.

There's pIenty of time for speeches.

Carry on.

Lieutenant commander.

Hey! Hey, hoId it right there!

That section's off-Iimits to everyone but
station personneI and dipIomatic staff.

I'm sorry. I seem to be Iost.

I'm Iooking for Brown 2.

You're way off. You want
the core shuttIe. It's that way.

I see. Thank you. I'II be on my way.

After I see your Identicard.

Hey, wait a minute. This card--

His name is Kalain.

He was second-in-command on a fIagship
cruiser during the war with your peopIe.

He has not been seen
since the end of the war.

Why do you think he's here
to cause us a probIem?

I have my reasons. I wouId not
be bringing this to you otherwise.

If you arrange to have
him apprehended. . .

. . .I wiII have him picked up by others
and conveyed to Minbar.

You said he was second-in-command
of a Minbari cruiser.

-Which one?
-I don't see what that has to do with this.

Was it the Trigati?

What's the Trigati?

It is not something we Iike to taIk about.

At the end of the war. . .

. . .when our ships were ordered
to surrender. . .

. . .one of our war Ieaders, SinevaI,
took his own Iife rather than obey. . .

. . .and became a martyr to his own crew.

KaIain assumed command.

And as a finaI act of protest, they
disappeared into seIf-imposed exiIe.

Over the years, we've heard rumors. . .

. . .of a Minbari cruiser sighted
where it shouIdn't have been.

We aIways figured it was the Trigati. . .

. . .but we couId never prove it.

They beIieve that they have been
betrayed by their own worId and yours.

KaIain's presence here couId indicate
that they mean to come out of retirement.

Something I don't understand.

You said you're with the Minbari
government, the Ministry of CuIture.

Yes, that's right.

So how does someone
in the Ministry of CuIture. . .

. . .know a high-ranking member
of the warrior caste. . .

. . .weII enough to recognize him
1 2 years Iater?

I wouId answer your question
if I recognized your authority.

UnIike your predecessor, my government
was not consuIted on your appointment.

The president feeIs the Minbari had
too much infIuence over an Earth outpost.

Times change.

The day a man such as yourseIf. . .

. . .is given a position of this importance
is a dark day indeed.

We Iost many of our best warriors
because of you.

And we do not soon forget such things.

If there is a doom on this station,
it is because you brought it here!

Oh, he's Grey CounciI. He's gotta be.
OnIy someone in the Grey CounciI. . .

. . .wouId've known someone that high
in the Minbari warrior caste.

I mean, they do not normaIIy mix.

And you are right.

They're not happy to see me here.

They're a pridefuI peopIe,
and the Black Star was their fIagship.

That's why it made a good target.

How did you take her out?

I've heard it was a new maneuver,
but I've never heard the specifics.

There wasn't much styIe
or finesse invoIved.

She was huge, monstrous.

We tried everything, but none of our
weapons wouId Iock on to their ships.

Some kind of steaIth technoIogy.

So I hit on the idea of mining the asteroid
fieId between Jupiter and Mars.

A fusion bomb doesn't have to Iock on to
anything if it's cIose enough.

It took out the Black Star and three
heavy cruisers before they couId escape.

It was the onIy reaI victory we had in the
war, and I'm not about to apoIogize for it.

He said KaIain feeIs his worId
has betrayed him.

If that's true. . .

. . .wouIdn't your first target be
the representative of that worId?

DeIenn.

Get up.

She's in there, isn't she?

Move aside. Move aside!

Freeze!

And put the gun down.

Put the gun down. We won't hurt you.

If you are going to kiII me, then do so.

Otherwise, I have
considerabIe work to do.

-You are the new commanding officer?
-Capt. John Sheridan, Earthforce.

Lennier, of the Third Fane of Chudomo.

Ambassador DeIenn is indisposed
at the moment.

Perhaps you wouId come back Iater.

Much Iater.

Of course.

Let me get this straight.

A high-ranking member
of the Minbari warrior caste. . .

. . .who no one has seen
in nearIy 1 2 years. . .

. . .suddenIy appears, and. . .

. . .for no apparent reason, breaks into. . .

. . .Ambassador DeIenn's quarters
with a gun.

Now, if you were Iooking
for the Minbari tourist bureau. . .

. . .you were just a IittIe off-course,
wouIdn't you say?

The curious thing is. . .

. . .you don't finish the job.

You couId've kiIIed both of them
and gotten out of there.

But instead, we find you standing there,
practicaIIy waiting for us.

Everyone knows Minbari
do not kiII Minbari.

Then why are you here?

Perhaps everyone is wrong.

Maybe you never intended
to kiII them at aII.

Perhaps something eIse
is going on.

Perhaps you are the probIem.

What's that supposed to mean?

Captain, we're not getting anywhere.
Let's wrap it up and try again tomorrow.

One Iast thing.

I'm toId that after the death
of your commanding officer. . .

. . .you took command
of a Minbari war cruiser.

But if you're here. . .

. . .where's your ship?

Captain!

I apoIogize. I was rude earIier.

There is something we need to discuss.

EspeciaIIy in Iight of KaIain's presence.

It concerns the reason you
were sent here. . .

. . .the reIocation of Cmdr. SincIair. . .

. . .and the reason we surrendered
at the BattIe of the Line.

After three years, the hoIy war
that began. . .

. . .when our Ieader was kiIIed by an Earth
expIorer division was aImost over.

To avenge Dukhat's death,
we had pursued your forces...

...all the way back to your Homeworld.

The few surviving Earth ships that were
ordered to defend your world...

...at any cost
were not an obstacle.

The Grey Council had come to oversee
the final victory of our forces.

They fight braveIy.

They cannot harm our ships,
but they continue to try.

Whether they fight or not,
they know they wiII die anyway.

So reaIIy, is this bravery
or simpIe desperation?

Perhaps they are the same thing.

We shouId bring one of them aboard
for questioning.

If our next step is the finaI assauIt
on their worId. . .

. . .we must know their defenses.

Very weII, DeIenn. Choose.

But quickIy.
We are fast running out of candidates.

That one.

This was the first time the Grey CounciI
wouId have direct contact with a human.

In this case, SincIair.

He was tortured, interrogated, scanned.

During the course of the scan,
the CounciI discovered something terribIe.

At first they refused to beIieve it,
so they took in other humans. . .

. . .and had them scanned as weII.
But it was true.

What was true?

It is our beIief that every generation
of Minbari is reborn. . .

. . .in each foIIowing generation.

Remove those souIs and the whoIe
suffers. We are diminished.

Over the Iast 2000 years. . .

. . .there have been fewer Minbari
born into each generation.

And those who are born do not seem
equaI to those who came before.

It is aImost as if our greater souIs
have been disappearing.

At the BattIe of the Line, we discovered
where our souIs were going.

They were going to you.
Minbari souIs are being reborn. . .

. . .in part or in fuII in human bodies.

So you stopped the war in order
to avoid harming your own souIs?

Yes.

But the CounciI knew that our peopIe and
yours were not ready for this information.

It couId unraveI our entire society.

So we couId not teII our generaIs
the reason for the surrender.

We had aII memory of the examination
erased from SincIair's mind. . .

. . .and we Iet him go.

It has been our secret.

Now it is yours.
It must be kept.

Then why break the siIence now?
I mean, why teII us?

Because changes are coming.

Cmdr. SincIair was the first.

There wiII be more.

-Yes.
-Captain...

...something's coming
through the jumpgate.

It's a Minbari cruiser.

Her gun ports are open,
and target systems are operationaI.

She's on an attack vector.
Repeat, she's on attack vector.

I had this wonderfuI dream
the other night.

We were in bed in this beautifuI hoteI,
rose and mint waIIpaper.

-Hey, Warren.
-It was sunny, and--

Check this out.

HoId on just a sec.

It's getting so a man can't even enjoy
a Ietter from home anymore.

What?

What the heII?

Red aIert, aII quarters.
Have they haiIed us yet?

Yes, sir. Waiting your arrivaI.

Activate defense grid,
put aII squadrons on standby.

I don't want actions that might
be considered provocative.

-ScrambIing fighters.
-Move it, everybody! Move it! Move it!

This is a red alert. All stations,
this is a red alert.

This is a red alert. All stations,
this is a red alert.

This is Capt. John Sheridan,
Earth AIIiance Station BabyIon 5.

What can I do for you?

This is Alit Deeron of the Minbari
war cruiser Trigati.

You have illegally arrested and detained
the captain of this vessel.

Your captain assauIted one of my crew
and was caught in an attempted murder.

None of your people were killed.
No Minbari was killed.

You have not been harmed.
You will release our captain.

And if we refuse?

Captain, she's Iaunching fighters.

Zeta Wing, prepare to launch.

We're cIear.

Godspeed, Zeta Wing.

Deeron, recaII your fighters.

Any attack on this station wiII
be considered an act of war.

The war has already begun, captain.

All that remains now is honor and death.

And I thought I was a pessimist.

It's odd she wouId say that.

So far, no one's been kiIIed, so there is
no reason for this to escaIate, unIess. . . .

Oh, heII!

-Get me Security, fast!
-On it.

They're trying to do anything they can
to start a shooting war.

But KaIain didn't kiII
the security guard or any of us.

And the Trigati didn't attack any of the
ships that have seen it the Iast few days.

What ships?

Sorry, I was under orders not to teII
anyone. I wiII expIain everything Iater.

Captain, Security just Iinked in.

KaIain is dead.

-They say it Iooks Iike suicide.
-That's what I was afraid of.

They want it to Iook Iike we're
provoking them into a war.

But why? This whoIe bit
about us sharing Minbari souIs?

They weren't toId. They don't know
they're not supposed to attack.

-Think they'd beIieve us if we toId them?
-Minbari fighters coming at us.

That answer your question?

They're on attack vector.

CIosing fast.

We don't have any choice.

AII fighters, intercept enemy craft
and engage.

Confirmed, BabyIon ControI.

-Those are our fighters?
-Yes, sir.

And those are the Minbari fighters.

The Minbari.

What kind of tracking systems
are we using?

Standard XB7 units. Why?

That's the same kind we used during
the war, but that doesn't make sense.

We shouIdn't be abIe
to track them at aII.

What was that she said?

''''AII that remains now is honor
and death. ''''

AII fighters, hoId position.

What? If they hoId position,
they're perfect targets.

Zeta Squadron requesting
confirmation of standby order.

Confirm the order.

Confirm it, damn it!

I know what I'm doing.

AII fighters, confirmed. Maintain position.
Do not advance. Repeat, do not advance.

Can you deIiver a narrow-band
transmission. . .

. . .without the Trigati intercepting it?

-We can adjust the Iaser deIivery system--
-Do it.

Open the jumpgate.

Send this message in a tight-beam
transmission into hyperspace.

Frequency and address.

Enemy fighters at 30 kiIometers
and cIosing.

Activate jumpgate sequence.

Jumpgate sequence, aye.

A distress signaI won't do any good.
No one can get to us in time.

Come on, Babylon Control,
give us a break here.

If we're not allowed to fire,
we're dead.

Enemy at 1 0 kiIometers.

-Eight.
-Captain.

HoId your fire.

Continue to hoId.

What the heII?

I don't understand. They didn't fire.

They're Iooping back,
heading for the Trigati.

-ExactIy.
-But how did you know they'd--?

We've got something coming
through the jumpgate.

That's why. They were waiting
for reinforcements.

Negative.

They're here because I caIIed them.

I knew the Minbari government had sent
another cruiser to Iook for the Trigati.

But since no one's seen it. . .

. . .I figured they were waiting
in hyperspace. . .

. . .untiI they heard
about another sighting.

Looks Iike I was right.

That doesn't expIain how you knew
they wouIdn't attack.

We're monitoring a signal
from the cruiser.

They're ordering the Trigati
to surrender.

It's Iike I said.

One probIem during the war was. . .

. . .that none of our weapon systems
couId Iock on to the Minbari vesseIs.

They use some kind of steaIth technoIogy
we were never abIe to break.

So how come aII of a sudden
we can track them?

They want to be destroyed?

''''AII that remains is honor and death. ''''

They have been in exiIe for 1 2 years.
They can't go home.

They can't surrender without being
dishonored and can't fight without a war.

So by forcing us to attack. . .

. . .by dying by human hands. . .

. . .they become martyrs.

And because you're known for having
fought them, you're the perfect target.

Trigati is breaking away.

Starting to open a jump point.

ShaII we open fire?

No, the Minbari wiII have to do this.

They're targeting
the Trigati's aft engines.

Trigati's engines have been hit.
UnabIe to make jump.

No change in Iife signs,
a cIean hit.

The war cruiser is ordering the Trigati
to prepare to be boarded.

-Their response?
-Just one word: honor.

We're picking up a change in the Trigati's
fusion reactors, moving towards criticaI.

They're. . . .

Oh, my God.

SignaI coming in from the war cruiser.

Put it through.

This is Capt. John Sheridan, BabyIon 5.

Appreciate the heIp.

Perhaps to you, this was a
tactical problem to be solved.

For us, this has been a great sorrow.

The crew of the Trigati were heroes
to many of our people.

Their death will be mourned.

And your name will be remembered.

Yes?

Thought I'd stop by,
see if aII your things arrived.

Yes, yes. Everything's present
and accounted for.

Something wrong?

When I got my orders. . .

. . .I figured this pIace was
a great opportunity.

And now I wonder if coming here
was irresponsibIe.

This whoIe mess with the Trigati might
not have happened if I hadn't been here.

My presence, my actions in the war.

I'm to bIame for bringing
this troubIe to BabyIon 5.

What was it our friend
in the Grey CounciI said?

''''If there's a doom on this station,
it was you who brought it here. ''''

WeII, maybe he was right.

I spoke with the president.

He is the onIy other human who knows
why the Minbari surrendered.

He doesn't beIieve this stuff
about us sharing Minbari souIs.

And I can't say that I do either.

But they beIieve it. That's why they
chose SincIair to run this pIace.

That's why they picked him
to Iive on their worId.

He was their first human contact.
Him they trust.

But me?

I don't know.

If SincIair had been here instead,
maybe they might not have attacked.

Maybe they wouId have.

There's enough guiIt in the worId
to go around without grabbing for more.

Give yourseIf the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, if you ever want to taIk
about this some more. . .

. . .you know where to find me. Anytime.

I toId them, DeIenn, as I was
ordered.

I onIy wish I couId have
toId them the rest.

About the great enemy
that is returning. . .

. . .and the prophecy
that the two sides of our spirit. . .

. . .must unite against the Darkness
or be destroyed.

They say it wiII take both of our races
to stop the Darkness.

I'm toId that the Earthers wiII discover
aII of this soon enough on their own.

I hope they are right.

Because if we are wrong. . .

. . .no one wiII survive our mistake.

Good night, DeIenn.

I'm not saying I mind Iooking a squadron
of Minbari fighters right in the eye.

I'm not saying I mind sitting with my
weapons off, waiting to be spIashed.

I'm just saying, next time
this happens--

If there's a next time.

If someone couId, I don't know,
maybe expIain it to me. . .

. . .this wouId be a good thing for my
Iimited and subjective point of view.

Did you catch that? He wants
expIanations. He wants Iogic.

Logic is a good thing. What it has to do
with the Earthforce is anybody's guess.

Yeah, I suppose. So, what does
everybody think of our new captain?

WeII, I haven't seen too much of him,
but what I have seen, I Iike.

-I think he's gonna be okay. Susan?
-I agree.

He's supposed to meet us here for drinks.
I wonder what's hanging him up?

Last time I saw him,
he said something about. . .

. . .having a haIf-hour to give some
good-Iuck speech or it wouIdn't count.

When was that?

About 20 minutes ago.

Oh, no. Of aII the times
he couId have picked.

It was an earIy Earth president,
Abraham LincoIn. . .

. . .who best described our situation.

''''The dogmas of the quiet past. . .

. . .are inadequate to the stormy present.

The occasion is piIed high with difficuIty,
and we must rise to the occasion.

We cannot escape history.

We wiII be remembered
in spite of ourseIves.

The fiery triaI through which we pass. . .

. . .wiII Iight us down in honor
or dishonor. . .

. . .to the Iast generation.

We shaII nobIy save. . .

. . .or meanIy Iose. . .

. . .our Iast, best hope of Earth. ''''

Five minutes to spare.
