'Meditation shapes us.'

It makes us strong
but keeps us flexible

as fluid as thought itself

as invisible as the night.

Is there something
troubling you, Rastenn?

Apologies, master, but..

...how can we reach a state
of meditation when..

...that is, your voice
can be very...distracting.

Because you are
listening to the voice

and not the thoughts
behind it.

To be Anla'Shok

you must be able to go inside
under all circumstances

even waiting
to go into battle..

...without falling asleep.

Anyone can meditate
in silence.

That is hardly a challenge
worthy of a ranger.

A challenge is to stand alone

unarmed, prepared to die.

I would hardly say sitting
and thinking is a challenge.

True, you do seem to have the
sitting part down to an art

so I suppose there's hope.

As for thinking,
well, uh..

...let's leave that
for the advanced classes.

We shouldn't expect too much
of you at once.

We'll worry about thinking
once we've cleared away

all that warrior caste nonsense.

Nonsense, Sech Turval?

Apologies. The choice of words--

Was unfortunate?

In error?

Untimely, Sech Durhan.

Return to your meditations.

Turval, we have just received
a message from Delenn.

She would like a report
on our progress here.

She's asked for me to come
and to bring one other along.

And you have chosen me?
I am honored.

It's good to know
that at my advanced age

there is still respect
for wisdom and perception.

Everyone else was busy.

You are a source of constant
annoyance to me, Turval.

But only because you're right
more often than you're wrong.

And why should I keep this joy
to myself?

I choose to share you
with the universe.

Valen help them all.

Tannier.

'You were supposed
to be listening'

'only to your inner voice.'

I was, master.

My inner voice was smiling.

No one has an inner voice
that smiles.

I do.

I'd expect that

from the religious caste.

Alright, Turval.
Choose your escorts.

Meet me at the landing platform.

We leave for Babylon 5
...in one hour.

Yes, Durhan.

You..

...and you come with me.

Since you seem incapable
of meditating in silence

going somewhere else
might be a good idea.

Babylon 5,
the home of peace.

You're behind
on payments, Lex.

Look at you.

You insult me.

Now I have to make sure
everybody understands

that you don't keep Trace
waiting for his money.

Do it.

'No! No!'

Leave the body
where they'll find it.

I want everyone to know
there's a new power in town.

'Cause from now on
Babylon 5 belongs to me.

And anyone
that doesn't understand that..

...is gonna get exactly
the same.

And so it begins..

- There is a hole in your mind. - What do you want?

No one here is exactly
what he appears.

Nothing's the same anymore.

Commander Sinclair
is being reassigned.

Why don't you eliminate
the entire Narn Homeworld?

I see a great hand
reaching out of the stars.

President Clark has signed

a decree today
declaring martial law.

These orders have forced us
to declare independence..

Unless your people get off
their encounter-suited butts

and do something.

You're the one who was.

If you go to Z'ha'dum will die.

Why are you here?

Do you have anything
worth living for?

I think of
my beautiful city in flames.

Giants in the play ground.

Now get the hell out
of our galaxy!

We are here to place
President Clark under arrest.

'Maintenance Chief Willis
to docking bay four.'

'Chief Willis
to docking bay four.'

'Seal off that fuel clamp.'

Greetings, Entil'Zha.

Sech Durhan, welcome.

Sech Turval,
it's good to see you again.

And you, Delenn.

We are honored
that you would come and meet us.

I don't believe in
standing on protocol.

Since this is your first time
on Babylon 5

I decided to show you
around myself.

Thank you. Then we should, uh--

And who are these?

Oh, two of our newest recruits.

'This is Tannier.'

'He comes to the Anla'Shok
from the religious caste.'

'And that's Rastenn'

uh, originally from
the warrior caste.

Since you wanted to know
how things were

it seemed best to introduce you

to some of our more
recent additions.

Entil'Zha, Delenn,
it is an honor to--

Speak when spoken to.

Apologies, master.

Well, uh, if you would
come this way.

Thank you, Tannier.

Hey, Zack.
Come on. Have a seat.

Hey, morning.

I was gonna give you a call.

Got word from Byron about
those telepaths you wanted.

He's gonna send over
a couple of candidates

to meet you later on today.

It's good to see you
down here again.

Didn't know whether you'd still
hang around with us grunts

now that you've been promoted.

It's still just
little ol' me, Zack.

I don't change.
I don't have the time.

Captain.

There's nothing wrong
with the chair here.

Why don't you, uh, join us?

Gentlemen.

So, how's it going?

Fine, fine, I'm just, uh,
revising the rotation schedule

for Starfury pilots
on station patrol.

We, uh, need to be
more efficient.

Keep more fighters outside
without putting

too much of a burden
on the pilots.

Uh, good luck,
during the fighting last year

we lost a lot of fighters.

We're down to only about two
thirds of what we should have.

Well, since Earth
joined the new alliance

maybe we can ask them to send
along some more replacements.

You're on good terms with
the administration, captain.

You could ask them for us.

You're giving me far too much
credit, Mr. Garibaldi.

- You think?
- I do.

- Maybe we should, uh--
- You know..

It just occurred to me that
since you were on the other side

during the Civil War back home
you might feel some

I don't know, obligation to help
replace some of the fighters

we lost during the campaign.

Who said I was
on the other side?

Well, I certainly didn't hear
your name mentioned

by anybody on our side.

Does anybody else think
this food tastes funny?

So you think there are only
two sides to any argument?

I think it's saffron.
I hate saffron.

In this case, yeah.

Now, there have been
a lot of rumors about you

since you got on board
this station, captain.

Maybe everybody else
is afraid to ask.

I don't have that problem.

You see, I don't work for you.
I answer only to Sheridan.

So I wanna know, just for me,
which side were you on?

Okay. You're right.

I wasn't on your side.

I was on the side
that says

it's not the role of
the military to set policy

or depose presidents
or fire on our own ships.

We follow orders
until one comes along

that violates our conscience.

Then we have to decide
whether or not to follow it

and take the consequences.

Maybe you'll be proven right.

Maybe they'll stick you
in front of a firing squad

but your decision
affects only you.

You can take a stand without
destroying the chain of command.

And did you?
Did you take a stand?

Well, now, that's none of
your concern, Mr. Garibaldi.

You asked me if I took up arms
against my own government.

The answer is no.

My job is to protect
the men and women

who serve under my command
and I will perform that job

with every last breath I've got

'cause I owe them nothing less.

And to hell with
the rest of the world.

Well, now, there you have me at
a disadvantage, Mr. Garibaldi.

You see, I don't know what's
best for the whole world.

I don't understand the ethical
structure of the universe

and I sure as hell
don't think it's my place

to tear up the constitution
I swore an oath to protect.

I am a soldier,
Mr. Garibaldi.

And as such, my vocabulary
is rather limited.

I only really
understand three words..

"...loyalty, duty, honor."

If I did it your way,
one of those would have to go.

Then the other two
would become meaningless..

...just like this conversation.

Good day.

Garlic. I think it's garlic.

Red two.

- Mr. President.
- Captain.

- How's it going?
- Fine. Fine.

I just had a very frank and open
conversation with Mr. Garibaldi.

- Uh-oh.
- No, no. He was good.

Obviously, there are some issues
that need to be addressed.

At least now they're out on
the table where we can see them.

Meaning he doesn't trust you.

Not as far
as he can throw me.

Yeah. You want me
to talk to him?

No. But thank you.

No, he's-he's my problem
...not yours.

You know, if I can't handle him,
I shouldn't be here.

And I will,
in my own time, my own way.

You're having second thoughts
about taking the position?

No, sir.

No, if anything
this confirms that

I am exactly
where I need to be.

Why, are you having
second thoughts?

None whatsoever,
I picked you for a reason

and I have every confidence
in that decision.

You just keep doing
what you're doing.

Michael will come around,
eventually.

- He's a good man.
- I know. I just--

I just never thought
I'd meet a second man

as strong-willed, stubborn,
and annoying as I am.

"My cup runneth over."

Got here as soon as I could.
Let me see.

Looks like a single PPG
burst fired at close range

same as the last one.
Any ID?

Name's Lex Mereau.

Got here two weeks ago, ran up
a line of credit at the casino..

...then disappeared.

Interesting.

The heat from a PPG burst
takes a few seconds

to cauterize the wound.

You get a fair amount
of bleeding before then.

There's no blood on the deck

meaning he was killed
somewhere else

left out in the open..

...probably as a warning.

I don't suppose
any of you saw anything?

Heard anything?

Look, this is the third murder
in two weeks.

All execution style,
all with a single PPG hit.

Now, my guess
is there's gonna be more

until the guy who's doing this
makes his point.

Unless he already has..

...unless the fear coming off
all of you was his goal.

Now, either way,
unless you help us help you..

...there's gonna be
more killing.

Probably, one of you
will be next.

Alright, bag him, number him,
put him in with the rest.

I'll be in the office.

The stink around here
is starting to get to me.

Smart guy.

Figured out a lot
just by looking at the body.

He's a good talker, too.

Looks like he had
some of them convinced.

Take him out. Tonight.

Trace, listen, uh, I know you
got your mind made up on Zack.

That's right.

Yeah, well, I-I just wanted..

See, you're new here.

The big guys don't back down
when you hit them hard.

Now, we got a good thing going.

Ever since N'grath went down,
there's been a vacuum

in the power structure.

We have the muscle to take over
all the Downbelow rackets.

Fencing, extortion, hookers
...the whole thing.

But you got to keep
a low profile.

You go after Zack

you'll have the whole station
down around our necks.

Listen.

The last place
I had an operation like this

was Beta Seven.

And there was a guy like Allan
in charge of security

for the whole colony.

But a lot of guys under him

didn't like like him
any more than we did.

So me and the boys..
Bam!

We took him out.

The next guy
came after us hard.

So we took him out, too.

And you know what?

The third guy was just like us.

So we made a deal

and everyone lived
happily ever after..

...until the war.

Then we all got kicked out.

But now we're here
and we're gonna stay here

and we are gonna
send a message.

You got a problem with that?

Then let's get to work.

Well, finally,
since we've opened up membership

in the Anla'Shok to all
the other alliance races

we've been joined by a few
recruits from the outworlds.

Two Drazi
and a pair of Yolu

three Abbai and a Pak'ma'ra.

We have no idea what to do
with the Pak'ma'ra.

They're slow, greedy,
selfish, not very bright.

They refuse to speak anything
other than their own language

so we have to use a translator.

And they're carrion-eaters.

'If it's not five days dead
and decayed'

they won't touch it.

We've had to move
the quarters of the Pak'ma'ra

well away
from the other recruits.

'It's the smell, you see.'

'It's-it's quite astonishing.'

I understand your desire
to make the rangers

representative of all the
member races, Delenn, but, uh..

...this may not be practical.

The Anla'Shok is trained
to fight, to think.

They have to learn
at least two other languages

not counting interlac.

So what are we to do
with the Pak'ma'ra?

Our training methods
were created by Minbari

to serve Minbari.

But if there is any lesson
to be learned from the humans

it is that we are made stronger
by our differences

not weaker.

If the Pak'ma'ra
cannot learn to be

what we think they should be

then perhaps we should learn
to use them for what they are.

Well, we've already considered
using them

for garbage disposal.

But there are some things
that even a Pak'ma'ra won't eat.

- We think.
- We think, yes.

We haven't actually discovered
what that is yet.

The interesting thing
about the Pak'ma'ra

is that they're everywhere.

They limp from planet to planet

bartering their supplies
of quantium 40

which everyone needs
for jumpgate production.

We see them every day

but no one wants
anything to do with them.

Well, can you blame them?

You miss the point.

For all intents and purposes,
the Pak'ma'ra are invisible.

Ignored, shunned.

People go to great lengths
not to notice them.

Can you think of a race better
suited to work as couriers?

Bringing reports too important
to risk on an open channel?

She's right. The rangers are
needed on the frontier.

They shouldn't be used
as couriers

which is just as dangerous.

The Pak'ma'ra
won't even be noticed.

Well, I suppose there's
a certain rough wisdom there.

I'll start the training sessions
in infiltration

and message coding
when we get back.

- Thank you, Entil'Zha.
- You're welcome.

We'll continue this again
when you've had a chance to rest

from your long trip.

It's good to see you, Turval.

It's been too long.

I've heard about Marcus,
and I'm sorry.

He was one
of my better pupils

uh, once I got through the noise
which he filled his head.

It was unfortunate
but not unexpected.

Why do you say that?

He joined the Anla'Shok
for the wrong reasons

because of guilt over
the death of his brother.

'He wasn't looking
for a way to serve.'

He was seeking a way
to atone..

...which, uh, brings me
to someone else.

I won't need you
any further.

You're free to explore
the station.

Once you complete your training
you will be here frequently.

So, uh, may as well get
acquainted now as later.

I'm very much concerned
about your aide Lennier.

He's training much harder
than he should.

He's taking on too much
pushing himself

to the limit
in combat training.

Sometimes he's reckless.

I, I wonder if he is trying
to prove something.

Maybe to me,
maybe to himself or..

...maybe to someone else?

Let us say only that, um..

...I'm also concerned.

Watch him for me, Turval.

If he continues on this way,
let me know.

Of course.

And if you should ever need
somebody to talk to, Delenn

I hope you'll remember your
old teacher from time to time.

I will.
Thank you, Turval.

'And so my intent
is to use you sparingly'

'only when there's no other way
to gather information'

'critical to saving lives.'

Seems like every time
you use a telepath

in an intelligence
gathering capacity

well, it's an interstellar
incident just waiting to happen.

I figure on creating
several teams

which will maximize flexibility
and guarantee that

none of you gets used
any more than you should.

I know this kind of work
is a strain

and I don't want anyone
to feel overburdened.

'Any questions?'

Alright, Zack here will
see to it that you get

special com links
by the end of the week.

And only he and I will
have the ID numbers.

Then..

...then we see what happens.
That's all.

Oh, uh, next time..

...try to contain your
enthusiasm for the job. Hmm?

Argh! You sure
this is a good idea?

I'll let you know
if I survive it.

- Hey, listen, need a favor.
- Shoot.

I need you to pull the security
jacket on Captain Lochley.

- See what's inside.
- Are you nuts?

That information is personal
and classified.

And? Look, I did the same thing
when Sheridan came on board.

I just think it's a good idea

that we know
who we're dealing with.

You've really got a bug up
your butt about her, don't you?

I mean, did it ever
occur to you that

just because
somebody doesn't agree with you

that doesn't mean
they're the enemy?

No.

Look, there's something that
she's not telling us, Zack.

Like why would Sheridan hire
somebody who's on the wrong side

of the war to run this place?

Alright, fine,
the rumor back home

is that
he's trying to make peace.

Now, that may be true,
as far as it goes

but I smell something else
going on here.

How does he know he can even
trust her? He barely..

Zack Allan, go.

'Chief, we just
received a babcom message'

'from someone who says
she knows'

'who's behind the murders
in Downbelow.'

- You got an ID?
- 'Yeah.'

'A Cynthia Teegarden,
brown 42 C.'

'We ran a check on her.
She's pretty clean.'

'Says she wants to talk to you
but she doesn't want'

'anyone to know that she's
the one who gave you the tip.'

Alright, tell her I'll meet her
in the access way to brown six.

It's pretty deserted
this time of day.

Security out.
Got to go.

- What about my..
- I'll think about it.

Hmm.

This may not be a good idea.

We should learn about
all the dark places here

since that is where
we will do our work..

...in the dark.

Hey. You sent the message?

Yeah. Yeah, I sent it.

He'll be here
in a few minutes.

Good. Alright, we got to find--

Wait, you promised me.

You promised me money
for a ticket home.

I've been stuck here so long
and you promised me.

Here. There you go.

Transport leaves
in 30 minutes. Beat it.

Now, we got to find a place
to leave the body

where it's gonna be seen
for a while this time.

- I got a place.
- What body?

It's none of your business.
Beat it.

Wait, you-you said you were just

gonna scare him
into leaving you alone.

You didn't say anything
about killing anyone.

They've got my name
on file.

All the more reason for you
to leave then, isn't it?

- Bye-bye.
- No. I can't.

I can't go along
with this.

No! Let me go! No!

Where are you going?

Someone's in trouble.

It's not our problem.

You don't know who it is
or what's going on.

It could be anything.

'Let me go!'

- It doesn't matter.
- It does!

We shouldn't get involved
in things like this.

They will only compromise
our mission.

Our mission is to save life.
Now, let go.

No. Stop! Let me go!

You had your chance.

No.

He's a ranger.

Yeah, I've heard about 'em.

Some kind of
police force, right?

Well, we wanted to make
a statement to the authorities.

Might as well make one
with him as anyone else.

In Valen's name.

- How badly is he hurt?
- Bad.

If he were human,
he'd be dead right now.

The woman he saved
called security.

They got there as fast
as they could

but the ones who did this
heard them coming and escaped.

'I should have gone with him.'

Where is she now?

Zack thinks she may have
gotten aboard

a transport
to one of the outer sectors.

We just don't know which one.

Did he say anything
before he lost consciousness?

Just that his attackers
were human

and that they were
making a statement

about who runs things
around here.

'Zack's checking things
on his end'

'but, uh, there's
not much to go on.'

See to it he lives, doctor.

Make him well enough to stand.

We will do the rest.

Mora'dum.

What does that mean, "Mora'dum?"

It refers to a part
of ranger training.

It means..

"The Application of Terror."

Sorry to keep you
waiting, Delenn.

It's been one of those days.

I, uh, heard about your friend.
I'm sorry.

How is he?

He regained consciousness
during the night

but he is still
very badly injured.

Then we can get
a statement. Good.

I'll have Zack
talk to him

find out the description
of his attacker--

I'm afraid that will
not be possible.

Well, if he, uh,
can't remember the details

we can have a telepath
jog his memory, or--

No, we have the information

but we will attend to it
ourselves.

This matter is now officially
under the jurisdiction

of the Anla'Shok.

Rangers are required to deal
with such things themselves.

Without resorting
to outside intervention.

Delenn, this is a, this is
a matter of internal security.

I would hardly refer to it
as "outside intervention."

'Look, I know that
you have certain'

cultural imperatives
going on here.

I don't understand them
and I won't pretend that I do

but I can't have a bunch
of vigilantes

running around my station.

Captain, all members of
the alliance, including Earth

have recognized the independent
authority of the rangers.

Under the new constitution,
the Anla'Shok

are above local security and
police forces, yours included.

You're pulling rank.

I wouldn't wish to put it
in quite those terms but--

No, no, I don't suppose
that you would.

I assume that you don't mind

if I ask
the president his opinion.

We have already spoken.
He supports this.

I can't believe it.
It-it's not like him.

It's...it's not like him?
How?

Delenn, you can't just run
around having the rangers

take out your revenge
every time somebody gets hurt.

Captain, this is not
about revenge.

Oh? What is it about?

Terror.

How is he?

He spoke a little while ago.

He asked for water.

I gave it to him and then
he fell asleep again.

It's the body's way
of healing itself.

I wonder, though, what it
would take to heal you.

I was not injured,
Sech Turval.

No, not physically.

But your spirit is wounded.

I abandoned him.

I should never
have let him go alone.

But you did.

- Yes.
- Why?

There's no shame
in the truth, Rastenn.

I was afraid.

Of dying?

No.

I didn't know
what was involved.

It could have been something
foolish or trivial or stupid.

If I am asked to lay down
my life for my people

for my friends,
I would do so in an instant

but I-I felt that--

You were afraid of dying
without reason.

Yes.

Death in a cause is one thing

but death without meaning..

If I told you
to climb a mountain

and bring me a flower
from the highest point

and you would die after
completing your task

would that be meaningless?

Of course.
It's trivial.

And if there
are a million people

waiting at the base
of that mountain

to whom that one flower
was a symbol of their freedom

and they would follow
that symbol and your death

into a struggle that would
liberate half a billion souls

would that
have a meaning?

'You see? We create
the meaning in our lives.'

It does not exist
independently.

Being Anla'Shok
does not mean worrying

about what others
will think about us.

It does not mean
deciding what to do

based upon whether or not

it serves our sense of ego
or destiny.

It means living each moment
as if it were your last one.

It means doing each right thing
because it is the right thing.

The scale doesn't matter.

The where, the when,
the how or in what cause

none of those things matter.

In my life, I've discovered
very few truths.

Here is the greatest truth
I know..

...your death, Rastenn,
will have a meaning

if it comes while you're in
fullest pursuit of your heart.

- Finished?
- Finished.

We've helped him face
his terror in a quieter battle.

And now we must try to help him
in the same way.

So what kind of terror are we talking about here, Delenn?

The kind that cripples.

The kind that destroys.

Not from without..

...but from within.

As soon as he can stand

whether he is fully
healed or not

Tannier will prepare
to face his terror.

Those who harm him
now have power over him.

He must take back that power

or he will
never be whole again.

We will go with him and bring him to the point of his terror

and then he will face it.

But if he isn't fully healed
he could die in the effort.

As Anla'Shok, we choose to do
that which frightens us

knowing that
there are no guarantees.

He may lose.
We cannot help him.

Then he will stand alone.

At the end, captain..

...we all stand alone.

Alright, that's it.
Come on! Everybody out.

Let's go. Come on.

I don't get it.
Why do we have to leave?

'Cause Delenn
told the president

the president
told the captain

the captain told me,
and I'm telling you.

They want this whole area
cleared of security personnel.

What do we do
if something happens?

Nothin'. Those are my orders.

Now, come on.

Trace, man, you've been outside?

Un-hm. Why?

Everybody in security
just took a hike, man.

I went up two levels,
down one.

We're clear
in both directions.

We've got the whole place
to ourselves.

You see?
What did I tell ya?

You just gotta be strong,
show 'em you mean business

and you get to do
whatever you want to do.

What the hell is that?

'Emergency lights activated'.

Red, Jerry, go on outside,
check it out.

Take a hand-mike,
and you stay in touch!

- You see anything?
- 'Nothin'. Nobody's around.'

'I can't see a damned thing.'

'We.. Unh! No! Aah!'

Jerry?

- Jerry, you there?
- What happened?

I don't know
...but whatever it is

I bet it's just
these three levels.

We get topside,
we'll be okay.

Listen up, everyone.
We're gettin' outta here.

You three, take point.

The rest of you,
bring up the rear. Let's go!

Miller!

Man, he's gone!

Hey!

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think
you're playing with, huh?

Who are you?

- 'Where's Trace?'
- 'Stay together!'

What do you want from me?

Why are you doing this?

You stay away from me.

'You understand?
You stay away from me.'

Oh, no.
Not a chance.

I'm not fighting
all of you.

Not all of us.
Just him.

Well, that's too bad.

'Cause I'm not trained
to use one of these things.

His training
was not complete, either.

It didn't stop you before.

Don't let it stop you now.

'If you want to leave here,
the way is past him.'

None of us
will move to stop you

ifyou can get past him.

Not a chance.

I've got my rights.
I've got my rights!

You've got the pike.
Continue.

Attend, students

this is a classic
archetype in action.

The strong man or bully
as the humans call it

essentially a coward
whose only skill

is convincing others to do
what he's afraid to do himself.

Notice the lack of technique

no follow through.

Another flaw in this
particular personality type..

...all muscle, no brain.

This isn't fair!

I don't know how to use
this damn thing!

Inexperience is not an issue.

Any one of you showed far more
technique and potential

the first time
you held a pike

even the Pak'ma'ra.

Where is your fear now, Tannier?

Gone, master.

And what do you feel? Anger?

Do you feel triumphant?

Happiness, joy?

- Pity.
- Why?

Because this is all
he will ever have

and all he will ever know..

...because his name will
be swallowed by silence..

...forgotten.

His name belongs to no one.

And who does your name
belong to? History?

The world?

No. It belongs to me.

Here ends the lesson.

You may take him now.

'Shuttle Newton,
you are cleared for launch.'

You should come
with us, Delenn.

It is not right
for the Entil'Zha

to be so far from home
for so long.

The rangers could profit
by your influence.

I wish I could, Turval,
but I'm needed here

to begin the process of
setting up training camps

in other alliance worlds.

Sheridan and I
will be there soon enough

and when that happens,
I was thinking

that I would like
to have Tannier

assigned as one
of the house guards.

Well, that is a great honor
for one so young.

Yes, it is.

Well, I will speak to you
when you get back home.

Safe passage, Sech Durhan.

Sech Turval.

Entil'Zha, veni.

Durhan...one thing.

Turval told me
that the new recruits

had not been fully trained
with the Denn-bok.

The fighting pike is
a dangerous weapon, Delenn

not to be taken lightly
or learned prematurely.

Yes, I know.

That's why it is proper
for recruits

to learn from one
of the younger teachers.

Only a very few will learn
from Durhan himself.

Tannier handled the pike
quite well

almost as though instructed by a
master before going into battle.

Yes, he did.

- Good day, Delenn.
- Durhan.

'You know, that's something
I never realized'

about the Minbari.

'What's that?'

I think they're
genetically incapable

of walking away from a fight.
No, I mean it.

When Delenn's forces
went up against the Drakh

they barely got out
with their skins intact.

Yet they went back
and wiped them out anyway.

Yeah, well, they killed
a bunch of her people.

I know.
That's what I mean.

You or me, we probably would
have gotten reinforcements

and then got back
...but once they're in

phew, they're in.

Earth-Minbari War, same thing.

We hit them,
they couldn't let go

until either they beat us
or we beat them. Now this.

'Somebody starts a fight,
and they gotta finish it.'

Doesn't matter if they win
or lose, live or die.

As long as they don't
give into the terror.

Well, maybe..

...and maybe that
ain't such a bad thing.

So..

...you, uh, got
the captain's file there?

No. Go away.

I could just peek..

You know, Michael

you and the Minbari
have one thing in common.

You never know when to leave
something alone.

I'll be in in a minute, Delenn.

That's fine.
I'm just thinking.

Oh? About what?

I spoke to
the captain today.

At one point, she said
she couldn't believe

that you would authorize
the Mora'dum.

She said it's not like you.

What did she mean by that, John?

I'm going to pretend
that you were going to tell me

this sooner or later.

I was just..

...looking for the right time.

Ten seconds after you thought
of it would have been good.

'Yeah.'

Yeah, maybe so.

Are you alright?

I think so.

It will just..

...take some
getting used to.
