[instrumental music]
Ambassador Kosh, is there something I can do for you?
I wish to engage your services.
For what?
- Business. - What sort of business?
Important.
Ambassador, I'd be happy to assist you
but there are certain details I must know
before taking any commission.
Not to mention getting clearances from the..
All arranged. As is payment.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
"The hour of scampering?"
(female #1) 'Minbari Flyer 969, you may proceed to Docking Bay 17.'
(male #1) 'Transport Autara bound for Jupiter colonies'
'is now boarding at Docking Bay 18.'
Query. Liner Calisto.
(computer) Liner Calisto will be docking
in Bay 12 in seven minutes.
(male #1) 'All passengers holding berths on that flight'
'should see Miss Uru in Red 7.'
[speaking in foreign language]
Deathwalker?
Deathwalker. Deathwalker!
[grunting]
Let me go! She must die! She is Deathwalker!
- Deathwalker! - Go on, take it easy.
[intense music]
(male narrator) It was the dawn of the Third Age of mankind..
...ten years after the Earth-Minbari War.
The Babylon Project was a dream given form.
Its goal, to prevent another war by creating a place
where humans and aliens could work out
their differences peacefully.
It's a port of call, home away from home
for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers.
Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million five thousand tons
of spinning metal, all alone in the night.
It can be a dangerous place.
But it's our last, best hope for peace.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations.
The year is 2258.
The name of the place is Babylon 5.
[theme music]
[intense music]
(Sinclair) 'Have you got an identity on the victim?'
According to her ship ID, her name is Gyla Lobos.
She's a free trader. Came from Sector 47 on her way to Earth.
- That's Minbari space. - Minbari ship.
Minbari clothes, Minbari ID. But she's no Minbari.
Na'Toth give any reason for the attack?
Nothing intelligible.
She was totally berserk when we hauled her in.
- Kept yelling, "Deathwalker!" - Deathwalker?
I thought you might remember that name. I know I do.
(Sinclair) 'Na'Toth, why did you attack that woman?'
Listen, sister, if she dies, you'll rot in a cage
until your spots turn gray.
Na'Toth, we want to help you. But you have to tell us why.
It is Chon-Kar.
The blood oath.
When the Dilgar conquered Hylak 7
my grandfather and his family were there.
Deathwalker used them in her experiments.
'They all died, except my grandfather'
who managed to escape back to Narn.
But not before she implanted a machine in his brain.
It slowly killed his mind and spirit.
And we could do nothing but watch.
When he died, my family took the Chon-Kar.
And now our vengeance is at hand.
The Dilgar Invasion was 30 Earth years ago.
If Deathwalker was alive today, she'd be an old woman.
Her face is carved into the minds of my entire brood.
I smell my grandfather's blood on her hands.
I tell you it is she!
Go over to that woman's ship.
I want to know everything there is to know about her.
You and me both.
Commander Sinclair, my abject apologies
for this terrible incident.
I don't know what came over my attache.
Let me ensure you that I am personally prepared
to make amends to her victim.
Her victim is still in Medlab.
If she lives, I'll convey your offer.
I see, if you will release Na'Toth into my custody
I'll take full responsibility for her conduct.
(Sinclair) 'Given the circumstances, that's impossible.'
However I will agree to house arrest
depending outcome of our investigation.
Guards, take Miss Na'Toth to Ambassador G'Kar's quarters.
She's not to leave for any reason.
(male #2) 'Yes, sir.'
You have my gratitude, commander.
Na'Toth!
[intense music]
Ambassador Kosh, all the clearances seem to be in order
and the pay is very generous.
However, there's something I still don't understand.
Understanding is a three-edged sword.
Oh, Kosh!
You old dog! You didn't tell me you were bringin' a date.
Um, I'm Talia Winters, licensed commercial telepath
Psi Corps Rating P-5.
I'll be sittin in on the negotiations
on behalf of Ambassador Kosh.
Ha! I'm a 23 myself. A good number.
Call me Abbut.
Please scan Abbut. Report to me his thoughts at present.
Ooh, goody!
Nothin' like a good mind scan to clear the old processor.
Miss Winters?
He has no thoughts. At all.
It's as if his mind were empty.
Excellent. We may now commence our business.
Abbut?
Crab.
Nebula.
[sighs]
Her vital signs have stabilized
but I still can't match her species type.
Why don't you try Xenobiogenic 5?
- How is she? - Better than she should be.
Considering the ferocity of her attack.
Metabolism is astounding.
It's repairing the damage in an extremely accelerated rate.
I wish I knew what her species was.
I've never seen anything like her.
Her DNA doesn't match anything we've got on file.
She's a Dilgar.
Dilgar? Dilgar is a dead race.
Those few that were left after the invasion died
when their sun went nova.
Computer, load history file EA-22-30.
- Reference, Deathwalker. - 'Commencing, Deathwalker.'
(computer) Epithet used to refer to Jha'dur.
The most infamous leader of the Dilgar Invasion
of the Non-Aligned Sectors in 2230.
'Rank, war master.'
'Specialist in biochemical, biogenetic'
'and cyberorganic weaponry..'
Stop. This was Jha'dur 30 years ago.
(Dr. Stephen) 'Now, she's obviously too young to be Jha'dur'
and too old to be her daughter.
There might be an explanation. Now, computer..
Scan subject for any sign of cryonic freezing
or body alteration.
(computer) 'Commencing. Scan, negative.'
Mm, I'll have MedCorp send me all their files on the Dilgar.
There has to be a way to make a positive identification.
Commander..
...you're not gonna believe this.
A Dilgar uniform.
Rank, war master, and the nameplate reads Jha'dur.
Na'Toth was right. It's her.
A uniform doesn't prove that. Did you find anything else?
Only this.
Doesn't look like any kind of drug I've ever seen. Doc?
Better run some test on this.
My father flew for Earthforce during the Dilgar Invasion.
He was there when they re-took Balos.
He never forgot what he saw.
If this woman is Jha'dur, then..
- Sinclair. - 'Commander.'
(female #2) 'You have a gold channel transmission'
'from Senator Hidoshi.'
On my way.
Post a full detail here until she can be moved
to a maximum security area
and keep a tight lid on this, Michael.
Until we figure out what's going on
I don't want any rumors running around in the station.
I'm sorry to bring you shame, ambassador
but I must fulfill my Chon-Kar.
You do not shame me, Na'Toth.
I know how your senses burn with the nearness of your prey.
I, too, have Chon-Kar, many of them.
But unhappily in this case, yours complicates matters.
I don't understand.
Counselor Ha'rok, the Narn you were to meet in customs
was here to bargain with Jha'dur.
Our agents learned of a discovery she made
which would be of great value to our regime.
[chuckles] But after your attack on her
Ha'rok could not hope to approach her
without drawing attention of Earth Alliance.
So he has returned to Narn and left me
to secure this discovery of hers.
I will take it from her when I eat her flesh.
No, the Kha'Ri says we must get her to Narn alive.
I will not be denied this!
This is larger than Chon-Kar!
It would give Narn the advantage it needs
to expand the regime and crush our enemies!
You must make this sacrifice for the future of our people.
As all Narn have sacrificed at one time or another.
I'll delay the Chon-Kar. But I will not abandon it!
You would not be Narn if you did.
I am proud of you.
And when we get what we want from this butcher
I promise to help you fulfill your vow.
[dramatic music]
(Hidoshi) 'Commander Sinclair.'
Senator Hidoshi, what can I do for you?
We understand a woman named Gyla Lobos
was recently attacked there.
- Is she alive? - Yes, and recovering.
Excellent, when she's fit to travel
you will send her to Earth immediately.
Senator, we've found evidence that this woman
might be the Dilgar war criminal, Deathwalker.
[chuckles] Deathwalker is long dead, commander.
This is a priority order.
- Without more information, I-- - Commander Sinclair!
All information in this matter is on a need-to-know basis
and you do not need to know. Have a pleasant day.
[intense music]
Incredible.
How dare you pry into my life's work!
- I think you're too badly-- - I've had worse!
I want to see Sinclair now.
Commander! Commander, is it true?
Is what true?
They say you have Deathwalker in custody.
You should know better than to listen to rumors, ambassador.
I'm Commander Jeffrey Sinclair. You asked to speak to me?
Doctor, will you give us a moment, please?
You know the way of command.
Yes, the Wind Swords are right to fear you.
What do you know about the Wind Swords?
They have sheltered me for many years.
In return for certain services.
They speak of you often, Sinclair.
They say you have a hole in your mind.
Who are you?
I am War Master Jha'dur of the Dilgar.
- Deathwalker? - So they called me.
If you were Jha'dur, you'd be much older.
The answer is in this vial.
The result of a lifetime of research and experimentation.
My research. A universal anti-agapic.
I'm not familiar with the term.
It's a serum which retards the aging process
and prevents disease.
It's still unstable and difficult to produce
in sufficient quantity, but it works as you can see.
No fear of growing old. No sickness. That's--
Virtual immortality, the ultimate triumph of life.
The secret is mine, Sinclair
and with the help of your Earth
I will bring it to all the worlds of this galaxy
before the year is out.
Then the willows must scuttle carefully.
Does Saturn have rings?
The talks are over for the day.
We shall commence again tomorrow at the hour of longing.
Suits me.
Ambassador? Ambassador Kosh?
- There is a question? - Yes.
I've been scanning Mr. Abbut all day and his mind
is still just as empty as when we started.
And these-these phrases you keep speaking in
they don't make any sense.
- Ah, you seek meaning? - Yes.
Then listen to the music, not the song.
Miss Winters, could I buy you a drink?
A, uh, Jovian Sunspot would taste good right now.
Mr. Abbut, can you tell me
what these negotiations are all about?
I could.
But it's not good to reflect too much.
[intense music]
- A problem? - Ah! No, I'm just tired.
I think I'll go back to my quarters and rest for a while.
Ha! Rest is good.
And so is a nice, lean pastrami
with just a little mustard and an Antarean pickle.
Maybe another time?
(woman on PA) 'Book Universe on level 5 is pleased to announce a sig--'
- Mr. Lennier. - Oh, commander.
I'm sorry to disturb you, but with Ambassador Delenn
of station, I need your help.
Have you heard about the incident in customs today?
Yes, I did. Shocking.
The Narn do seem to be a most passionate people.
Are you familiar with the name Deathwalker?
Quite. History is a passion of mine.
As I recall, she was the most infamous leader
of the Dilgar Invasion of the Non-Aligned Sectors in 2230.
She was a brilliant scientist specializing
in biogenetic and cyberorganics.
But she was also a brutal and sadistic warrior
personally responsible for countless deaths--
Na'Toth said the woman she attacked is Deathwalker.
The woman claims she's right.
She also says it was the Wind Swords who sheltered her
after the invasion.
The Wind Swords.
They are the most militant of all our warrior castes.
But even they wouldn't harbor such a beast.
It's possible she was of service to them.
Could you check with your government? See what they know?
I cannot speak directly to the council without permission.
- But I will contact Delenn. - Thank you.
I also ask that you keep this information confidential
for the time being.
You may rely on my discretion, commander.
And in the name of the Narn regime
I extend our sincerest apologies for the attack on you.
We are fully prepared to make
whatever reparations you deem necessary.
And make you a most handsome offer.
- For what? - Your discovery, of course.
The anti-agapic.
You're very well-informed, G'Kar.
Our reports always said you were clever one.
And a good resistance leader too.
If Earth Alliance hadn't taken a hand in our invasion
we might have helped your kind
wipe the Centauri out completely.
You are also well-informed, Jha'dur.
But we are not through with the Centauri yet.
And you can still help us.
Whatever Earth Alliance has promised you, we will triple.
Tempting.
Grant me one more thing and I'll consider it.
Name it.
The head of the animal that attacked me, within the hour.
[intense music]
[laughs]
And based on the data I got from Earth, she is Jha'dur.
Which barring other explanations seems to prove
her claim about an anti-agapic.
- Anti-a-what's-ic? - An immortality serum.
The Russian consortium's been researching
in the direction for years with no success.
That's because there ain't no such animal.
She's lying to save her skin.
My analysis of the serum suggests that she isn't.
(Sinclair) 'Earth agrees.'
They've given us a priority order
to send Jha'dur there immediately.
They plan to develop her discovery.
Are you serious?
This woman made the Durian Massacres look
like a church picnic and Earth wants to give her a grant?
Justice or immortality? An intriguing choice.
There is no choice.
Jha'dur infected the entire population of Latig IV
with Stafford's Plague just to see how long
it'd take them all to die.
She wiped out entire races, destroyed whole planets.
Experimented on living being.
Now she wants to make everybody immortal?
- Why? - Maybe she's got a conscience?
Unlikely. Tyrants seldom show remorse for their brutalities.
Let the League deal with her.
We've got her serum, if it's legit
we can finish this immortality pill ourselves.
No, the serum's too complex.
It would take years to develop without her input.
If at all possible.
While I find Earth's moral stance on this dubious.
They are better equipped to handle an issue this magnitude.
Ivanova is right. This one's too big for us.
I want Jha'dur's ship recharged
'and a fighter escort ready in one hour.'
We'll take her through Blue 5 to avoid any attention.
What the hell are you doing, Jeff?
- Following orders. - Whose order stake?
Whatever Jha'dur's peddling doesn't change what she is.
I know, dammit.
But if Dr. Franklin's right, her discovery
will bring a future free of disease, ageing, death.
All across the galaxy.
She can save more lives than she took.
And she make the deaths she caused have meaning.
Isn't that worth considering?
You better pray to that God of ours you're right, Jeff.
Because if any of the league ambassadors find out
about this deal, they'll tear Babylon 5 to pieces.
One of our agents has just informed me
that Sinclair is going to smuggle Jha'dur off the station.
- What? - Blast him!
And that infernal female!
She is near, I can smell her.
Free me from this cage and I'll deal with her.
No, not yet. There is a better way.
Ambassador G'Kar to speak to Ambassador Kalika
on a most urgent matter.
(computer) One moment, ambassador.
Your ship is recharged.
We'll give you a fighter escort to the vortex
and an Earthforce vessel will meet you on the other end.
Most efficient. I commend you.
Is there something else you wish to say, commander?
Dr. Franklin has confirmed the potential of your discovery.
But why give it to Earth?
Because it was Earth who turned the tide against my race.
Thus it is fitting that you benefit from your conquest.
(Sinclair) 'It was more an act of preservation.'
You slaughtered mercilessly.
Exterminated whole races.
Committed acts beyond the belief of all sentient beings.
The Wind Swords said you were sentimental.
A fatal flaw in a warrior.
You still haven't explained.
Why you want to help the same people
you butchered 30 years ago?
My race is gone, their names cursed in history.
Even my Homeworld no longer exists.
I am the last of the Dilgar.
But my discovery will ensure that the galaxy
remembers us with honor.
It will be a monument to our vision.
A monument? That's what you're after?
Delicious irony, don't you think?
That those who cursed us
will have to thank us for the rest of time?
Commander, time to go.
[intense music]
Commander Sinclair, that woman is the war criminal Jha'dur
known to our worlds as Deathwalker.
We demand a full assembly at once.
To discuss her trial on charges of crimes against sentience.
Ambassador Kalika, I'm sure Earth Alliance will welcome
all you representatives to discuss this matter.
However, Jah'dur is in my custody
and I have orders to send her to Earth.
Orders I cannot disobey.
You will have to kill us all first.
Very well, we'll convene in three hours.
Jha'dur will be held in maximum security until then.
A fatal flaw indeed.
Mr. Garibaldi, escort this woman back to her holding quarters
and double the guard on her.
Ambassador, I've thought it over and I don't believe
that I can continue with this assignment.
Your belief does not enter into it. We have a contract.
I know that, but you don't really need a telepath.
What is need compared to the path?
[sighs] The traffic was murder but here I am.
Miss Winters, so lovely to see you again.
[dramatic music]
[intense music]
[indistinct chatter]
You know we're sitting on a fusion bomb here.
At least it's out in the open now.
Jha'dur will get the justice she deserves.
Don't be so sure, the Narns and the Centauri
both collaborated with the Dilgar
the last thing they want is a trial.
True, but with my vote and the Minbari vote
the council will be deadlock and the league
will have the deciding vote.
- What about Kosh? - He refuses to participate.
As usual.
What makes you so sure the Minbari will vote for a trial?
There's no reason for them not to.
And they're an honorable people.
Listen, Jeff, I got a little hot before, said some things--
Oh, forget it, you didn't say anything
I hadn't thought myself.
So I shouldn't listen to rumors, huh?
Sorry, ambassador, we thought it best to handle this quietly.
Ah! Great job.
Mr. Lennier, have you spoken with Ambassador Delenn?
Yes, commander, and I have been given instructions.
Jeff, all the ambassadors are here and the chamber's secure.
Good luck.
[indistinct chatter]
This meeting of the Babylon 5 assembly is called to order.
Ambassador Kalika representing the League of Non-Aligned Worlds
will make the opening statement.
Thirty years ago, the Dilgar fell upon our worlds
bringing terror, slavery and death.
With the help of Earth Alliance we drove them from our sectors
and brought their leaders to justice.
All but one.
The worst of the lot.
Deathwalker.
[clamoring]
Now the winds of fate have delivered her into our hands.
'We of the league have unanimously decided'
that Jha'dur be tried for her crimes against sentience.
That trial to be held here on Babylon 5 as soon as possible.
We now ask that the Advisory Council approve this decision.
[indistinct chatter]
Ambassador Mollari.
This woman, Deathwalker, is indeed a great villain.
We Centauri weep for what she did to your world.
However, because she has committed no crime
against our republic, I must reluctantly vote no.
[clamoring]
Treachery!
I'm not surprised the Centauri are opposed to a trial.
It is well-known the Dilgar were
merely mercenaries for their republic.
That is a lie! It was you Narns who collaborated with this scum.
Centauri propaganda to hinder our revolution.
That's enough. Ambassador G'Kar, your vote.
The Narn Regime is noted for its keen sense of justice.
Therefore, we vote yes.
On one condition, th-that the trial be held on Narn.
Our neutrality during the invasion assures fairness.
We are prepared to transport her there immediately.
[clamoring]
The Narns have no right to try Jha'dur.
We are well aware of their involvement with her.
Their proposal is unacceptable.
In that case, the Narn Regime also votes no.
[indistinct shouting]
Ambassador Kosh has declined to take part in these proceedings.
On behalf of Earth Alliance, I vote yes.
Mr. Lennier?
As the Minbari were not a part of this conflict..
...we have no right to judge her.
We must therefore..
...vote no.
[clamoring]
Counting the league's single vote, the decision
is three to two against a trial with one abstention.
I'm afraid we must find some other solution.
This is outrageous!
Commander Sinclair, you have always said
that our worlds have a voice here.
Will you now deny us this voice?
I'm afraid the rules of the assembly are very clear.
- But I have a compromise-- - No! No more compromises.
We will no longer be dictated to
by the very powers who aided this woman's atrocities!
We withdraw from this assembly.
And rest assured, you have not heard the last of this!
[all clamoring]
(female #3) 'Justice!'
[sighs] I am sorry, commander.
I have caused this evil woman to escape her just fate.
The Wind Swords did shelter her, didn't they?
And your government knew about it.
No. Not at first.
When we went to war with Earth
the Wind Swords came to the council with weapons
terrible weapons created by this monster.
That's when the council first learned she was with them.
Of course we couldn't reveal it then.
And like all secrets long kept
we cannot bear the shame of admitting it now.
[dramatic music]
Lieutenant Commander, something is coming
'through the jump gate.'
[zapping]
A Drazi Sun Hawk. All stations at alert.
Station one, open up com channel to the Drazi vessel.
Station five, go to hyper track.
I have the Drazi vessel online.
Babylon 5, this is Makar Ashok.
In the name of the Drazi freehold
I demand immediate extradition of the war criminal Jha'dur.
Reject this demand and we will attack immediately.
[intense music]
Drazi vessel moving into firing range.
[indistinct chatter]
All gun arrays target Drazi ship.
[machines whirring]
Makar Ashok, our gun arrays are now fixed on your ship
they will fire the instant you come into range.
'You'll find their power quite impressive, for a few seconds.'
(female #4) 'Drazi vessel is slowing.'
Lieutenant Commander, there's another surge in the vortex.
[zapping]
What's happening?
The Drazi want immediate extradition of Jha'dur.
I imagine the Iksha and Vree will make similar demands.
And according to reports, there are
more league ships on the way.
- Can you stall them? - I can try, but--
Do it.
[sighs] Welcome to Babylon 5. I am Lieutenant Commander Ivanova.
How may we be of assistance?
Ambassador, call off those ships.
The League and Earth Alliance have always been friends.
We can settle this matter diplomatically.
At the moment we do not put much faith in Babylon 5 diplomacy.
I fear we will soon be severing our ties with this place.
There's something you should know
before making that decision.
[intense music]
What's the situation?
Well, I've managed to get the ship captains
engaged in a debate over who has the best claim to Jha'dur.
The winner will be the first to attack.
Creative. Let's hope that buys us enough time.
Lieutenant Commander, the League ships
are moving out of firing range.
[intense music]
- What did you do? - I played a wild card.
But we're not out of this yet. Stay on alert.
I'll be in closed session with the league.
Yes, sir.
Good job, lieutenant commander.
A herring is just a herring but a good cigar is a Cuban.
A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles.
Do you understand, Miss Winters?
[dramatic music]
[bells ringing]
[glass shatters]
[screams]
- Our business is concluded. - You were swell.
Maybe we can have that Jovian Sunspot some time.
Kosh, old boy..
...a pleasure as always.
Let's do lunch soon.
Miss Winters.
What is he? And what was on that data crystal he gave you?
Reflection, surprise, terror.
For the future.
Several of our most renowned scientists
'have checked Dr. Franklin's data.'
They concur with his assessment. A most astounding discovery.
But Deathwalker must still be punished for her crimes.
I agree and I have a compromise
which may serve all our needs.
Earth is prepared to develop Jha'dur's discovery immediately.
I propose the League of Worlds choose a coalition
of scientists to assist her.
When this coalition is satisfied the serum is ready..
...Jha'dur will be turned over to the League for trial.
[indistinct whispering]
Can we trust your alliance will honor this agreement?
And what of the council?
When news of this is made public
Earth Alliance will have no choice
as for the council, it's already made its decision.
The agreement is between Earth and the League.
Just as it was 30 years ago when we
helped you to defeat this woman and her people.
It is fair.
And wise.
[intense music]
[whooshing]
- It's time. - Good.
I'm glad Na'Toth didn't succeed.
I'm looking forward to your trial.
Are you really that naive, commander?
Do you imagine Earth Alliance will permit
this charade of yours to be carried out?
I'll see that they have to.
It will only cost you your command.
It is the way of things, Sinclair.
The superior controls the inferior.
In the final analysis, we've won.
- I don't think so. - No?
Then consider this.
You and the rest of your kind take blind comfort
in the belief that we are monsters.
That you could never do what we did.
The key ingredient in the anti-agapic
cannot be synthesized.
It must be taken from living beings.
For one to live forever, another one must die.
You will fall upon one another like wolves.
It will make what we did pale by comparison.
The billions who live forever will be a testimony to my work.
And the billions who were murdered
to buy that immortality
will be the continuance of my work.
Not like us?
You will become us.
That's my monument, commander.
Get her the hell off my station.
(female #1) 'Minbari Flyer 969 is now leaving the docking center.'
Ambassador Kosh?
- Stand by to activate-- - 'Lieutenant Commander.'
Something's coming through the vortex.
[intense music]
It's a Vorlon ship.
[explosion]
Well, all's well that ends well, huh?
Why?
You are not ready for immortality.
Hell of an irony, don't you think?
We find a reason to keep Jha'dur alive
and the Vorlons smoke her for the same reason.
You think it'll always be like this, Michael?
Little powers at the mercy of bigger powers.
Politics before morality.
Expediency before justice.
Seems to work for everybody except you.
Maybe that's why I like you.
Commander, may I speak to you for a moment?
I think I may be having a problem with Ambassador Kosh.
- Join the club. - What's wrong?
[sighs] Yesterday, Kosh hired me to mediate on a business deal.
But nothing about it made sense.
They spoke in riddles and I kept
getting these images in my head.
What kind of images?
Well, at first, just quick flashes, but then..
Four years ago, I was assigned to scan
a suspect in a murder case on Mars colony.
He was a serial killer.
I had never been inside a mind like that before.
His thoughts were brutal, violent, terrible.
It was the most frightening experience I ever had.
I still have nightmares about it.
Today I felt those same thoughts again.
But this time it was no nightmare.
It was deliberately provoked.
- Who was Kosh dealing with? - Another alien.
His said his name was Abbut.
Funny little guy with a big hat? Drinks Jovian Sunspots?
Yes, that's him. Do you know him?
He's a Vicker.
It's a slang term from old Earth tech, a VCR.
They're cyberorganics, living recorders
part machine, part sentient.
Several of the alien races use them.
They can record just about anything.
Sights, sounds, biorhythms, thought patterns.
- I'd say you were set up. - But why?
The Vorlons are leery of telepaths.
If Kosh knows what you fear the most
he can use it against you in the future.
- For what? - With the Vorlons, who knows?
Ambassador Kosh has been a busy boy today.
They say God works in mysterious ways.
Maybe so. But he's a con man compared to the Vorlon.
