The thing leaves! Sheridan doesn't take time to dwell on their good fortune, he just orders them home, double time. They brace themselves for an imminent attack.which never comes. Perhaps, he replies, but not today.īack in hyperspace, the White Star has destroyed the small fighters and is using a magnetic discharge to grab the transport ship, when they detect another Shadow vessel, this time a mothership, moving towards them. A tearful Delenn finally welcomes him into the War Council, and expresses hope that he can forgive her someday. With all that's happened, however, G'kar knows that if it were not for the Grey Council's inaction, his people would be a dead race. G'Kar confesses that had he possessed this knowledge beforehand, he would have killed Delenn on the spot. Under the heel of the Centauri, there is still hope of survival for the Narns, but had the Shadows had been alerted, they would have exterminated the lot of them. Even Lennier hates him!ĭelenn, her head bowed, reveals to G'Kar that the Grey Council knew that the Shadows were puppeteering the Centauri, yet they kept silent because it was necessary to let the Shadows believe they were operating under the radar. When Bester detects the ship's coordinates, Lennier refuses to budge until Sheridan parrots Bester's orders. The instant the Captain leaves his seat, Bester hops on, only to be booted out an instant later.
"Try not to drool on the controls," Sheridan mutters under his breath. Bester strolls around the bridge of the ship, examining all the cool toys. The White Star sets course sector 500 in hyperspace, piloted by Sheridan, Ivanova, Lennier, with Bester guiding them to the location of the convoy. He explains that he can pinpoint the ship's location in hyperspace by homing in on the thought waves of the occupants. Delenn feels it is her responsibility to talk to G'Kar personally, but Sheridan fears for her if she does.īester tells the gathered officers that a ship bearing weapons components for the Shadows is en route to the Rim and needs to be seized. They both realize that bringing G'Kar into their circle means owning up to the fact that they allowed the Narn homeworld to be invaded rather than divulge their knowledge of the Shadows. In Delenn's quarters, she and Captain Sheridan hash over G'Kar's demand. He has come to Babylon 5 to find someone who hates Shadows as much as he, because he thinks he knows a way to damage them. An anti-telepath conspiracy is brewing on Earth, one which is interfering with Bester's own designs a future where "mundanes" are governed by telepaths. Point taken, Bester explains that President Clark is being guided and influenced by the Shadows, whom he suspects have infiltrated Psi Corps as well. Predictably, Bester idly needles Ivanova about her hatred for the Corps and her mother's suicide, earning himself a resounding slap in his face. She greets the Psi Cop in his cell with icy demeanor. Privately, Sheridan manages to convince a reluctant Ivanova to be the one to grill Bester, since her latent ability will allow her to detect a scan. He has demanded a meeting without telepath-suppressive drugs in return, Bester promises not to scan anyone. Meanwhile, Bester arrives and is escorted by heavily armed guards to a cell, as usual. Ivanova blows him off, saying she'll talk to Sheridan. G'Kar has fulfilled his part of the bargain by having his Narns assist with station security, and he demands that he now be allowed to join the war council. Ivanova is on her way to greet Sheridan at the docking bay when she is intercepted by an angry G'Kar, who wants to know why Sheridan hasn't acted on his promise. When there's no reply, Bester gets impatient and calls out from the Captain, but receives a taciturn reply: "I'm thinking it over." Hah! Keeping carefully out of telepathic scanning range the Captain asks Bester why he shouldn't just blast him to hell. It is from a lone black Star Fury, painted with an ominous Black Omega symbol, and bearing the station's favorite Psi Cop, Mr. Franklin are indignant, but there is nothing they can do except wait for Sheridan to return from his test run of one of the Starfuries recovered from the Churchill, a new model that can fly inside an atmosphere.ĭuring the exercise, Sheridan receives a distress signal coming from a nearby sector.
News at 11: a sugary piece on Clark's domestic policy, proving that ISN has now become just a propaganda tool for the President. However, hopes for a better situation back on Earth are dashed when a nauseatingly pedantic reporter announces that ISN was not attacked by Clark's forces, but were taken over by alien-backed saboteurs. A hopeful crowd has gathered in the Zocalo, eager to see the first ISN broadcast since their Geneva premises were raided by President Clark's soldiers.
