00:30:24,708 --> 00:30:27,500 ...I'm announcing my resignation from Earthforce. 544 00:30:28,375 --> 00:30:30,583 [indistinct muttering] 545 00:30:31,625 --> 00:30:32,958 I do this in the hope that 546 00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:34,458 those who fought on both sides 547 00:30:34,542 --> 00:30:36,917 will put aside their disagreements.. 548 00:30:38,542 --> 00:30:42,208 ...and come together in a new spirit of cooperation. 549 00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:47,417 For we are all children of Earth. 550 00:30:51,542 --> 00:30:53,333 Thank you. 551 00:30:56,625 --> 00:30:59,917 To commemorate this very special day 552 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,083 the League of Non-Aligned Worlds 553 00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:05,417 asked to address this gathering. 554 00:31:06,708 --> 00:31:07,792 Ambassador. 555 00:31:15,958 --> 00:31:18,625 For many years.. 556 00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:22,583 ...all of us here have prized our good relations with Earth. 557 00:31:22,667 --> 00:31:24,750 You have shown through your example 558 00:31:24,833 --> 00:31:28,625 that strength comes from a multitude of voices 559 00:31:28,708 --> 00:31:31,958 brought together in common cause. 560 00:31:32,042 --> 00:31:34,542 Humans form communities. 561 00:31:34,625 --> 00:31:36,958 In that spirit, we have voted to dissolve 562 00:31:37,042 --> 00:31:39,125 the League of Non-Aligned Worlds 563 00:31:39,208 --> 00:31:41,708 and create a new alliance.. 564 00:31:42,875 --> 00:31:45,167 ...based on mutual cooperation 565 00:31:45,250 --> 00:31:46,583 and respect. 566 00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:53,167 An alliance born in the diverse voices of many worlds 567 00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:56,000 joined by their desire to build a better future.. 568 00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,875 ...and their decision 569 00:31:59,958 --> 00:32:03,583 to voluntarily recognize a common authority. 570 00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:10,083 Ambassador. 571 00:32:10,167 --> 00:32:12,958 This new alliance will help less-advanced worlds 572 00:32:13,042 --> 00:32:14,667 improve their conditions. 573 00:32:14,750 --> 00:32:17,333 It will encourage better relations between our races 574 00:32:17,417 --> 00:32:19,458 and promote free trade. 575 00:32:19,542 --> 00:32:23,458 Above all, it will work to create peace. 576 00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:26,708 Central to this process is a group of humans and Minbari 577 00:32:26,792 --> 00:32:28,125 trained to work together 578 00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:30,833 and dedicated to the higher principles of duty 579 00:32:30,917 --> 00:32:33,125 honor and peace. 580 00:32:33,208 --> 00:32:36,458 They have been entrusted with the most advanced fleet of ships 581 00:32:36,542 --> 00:32:39,458 in existence now that the first ones have left us. 582 00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:42,625 [rumbling] 583 00:32:44,375 --> 00:32:46,250 Among my people 584 00:32:46,333 --> 00:32:48,708 they are called the Anla'Shok. 585 00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:50,500 Among your people 586 00:32:50,583 --> 00:32:52,958 they are called the Rangers. 587 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,750 [aircrafts whirring] 588 00:32:58,667 --> 00:33:01,542 [dramatic music] 589 00:33:09,292 --> 00:33:10,542 They come in peace 590 00:33:10,625 --> 00:33:13,917 and will stay only where they are invited to stay. 591 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,875 They will help protect you from raiders 592 00:33:15,958 --> 00:33:17,875 and invasion by other races. 593 00:33:17,958 --> 00:33:19,042 They will work with your military 594 00:33:19,125 --> 00:33:21,083 to strengthen your borders. 595 00:33:21,167 --> 00:33:25,750 But understand that they will do so equally and fairly. 596 00:33:25,833 --> 00:33:27,375 If you are planning a war of aggression 597 00:33:27,458 --> 00:33:30,583 against your neighbors, the Rangers will hear about it 598 00:33:30,667 --> 00:33:32,292 and so will your neighbors. 599 00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:34,792 If other worlds in the alliance choose to intervene 600 00:33:34,875 --> 00:33:37,083 on behalf of those being attacked 601 00:33:37,167 --> 00:33:39,042 the Rangers will provide the information 602 00:33:39,125 --> 00:33:41,250 but will not intervene directly. 603 00:33:42,875 --> 00:33:45,458 Their goal is to create the peace 604 00:33:45,542 --> 00:33:47,667 not enforce the peace. 605 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:51,125 'This is a political and economic alliance' 606 00:33:51,208 --> 00:33:53,750 not one based on military strength. 607 00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:55,167 The gains you will achieve 608 00:33:55,250 --> 00:33:57,375 by working peacefully with other races 609 00:33:57,458 --> 00:34:01,375 far outweigh anything you might achieve by force. 610 00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:03,417 The alliance recognizes your sovereign right 611 00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:06,792 to govern your own people by your own will. 612 00:34:06,875 --> 00:34:08,917 But membership in the alliance means that 613 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,542 you will honor a code of conduct 614 00:34:10,625 --> 00:34:12,500 in your relations with other worlds 615 00:34:12,583 --> 00:34:16,375 or risk losing all the things we stand to give you. 616 00:34:16,458 --> 00:34:18,583 Finally, each member race will be able 617 00:34:18,667 --> 00:34:21,042 to contribute volunteers to join the Rangers 618 00:34:21,125 --> 00:34:24,125 thereby assuring their independence and fairness. 619 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,625 All of us have agreed 620 00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:29,292 to recognize the independent authority of the Rangers. 621 00:34:30,917 --> 00:34:34,208 Madam President, honored guests 622 00:34:34,292 --> 00:34:37,958 I now invite you to join the new alliance. 623 00:34:38,042 --> 00:34:41,083 You may decline, if that is your wish. 624 00:34:41,167 --> 00:34:44,167 We will leave in peace and honor your decision. 625 00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:46,958 If you accept.. 626 00:34:47,042 --> 00:34:49,667 ...we believe it will signal a new age 627 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:52,375 of peace and prosperity. 628 00:34:57,417 --> 00:34:59,167 The invitation to join your new alliance 629 00:34:59,250 --> 00:35:00,708 is tempting, ambassador. 630 00:35:00,792 --> 00:35:03,333 But many of our generals are skeptical 631 00:35:03,417 --> 00:35:05,292 about your claims to neutrality. 632 00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:07,667 I fully understand, Madam President. 633 00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:09,375 No one in this room is more suspicious 634 00:35:09,458 --> 00:35:11,542 of these things than I am. 635 00:35:11,625 --> 00:35:14,500 No race more prideful than the Centauri. 636 00:35:14,583 --> 00:35:17,375 But we are tired of war 637 00:35:17,458 --> 00:35:20,417 and believe that this will help to create peace between us. 638 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:22,333 Peace is a concept. 639 00:35:25,375 --> 00:35:28,750 If I'm going to sell this to my generals and the public 640 00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:32,083 I'm going to need something a little more tangible. 641 00:35:32,167 --> 00:35:34,250 Then you will have it. 642 00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:35,875 In the past we have kept 643 00:35:35,958 --> 00:35:38,792 many of our technological advances to ourselves. 644 00:35:38,875 --> 00:35:40,458 In a gesture of good faith 645 00:35:40,542 --> 00:35:42,708 we will show you how to use energy fields 646 00:35:42,792 --> 00:35:44,542 to create gravity in your ships 647 00:35:44,625 --> 00:35:46,542 eliminating the need to manufacture slower 648 00:35:46,625 --> 00:35:50,083 less-efficient ships that rotate to create gravity. 649 00:35:50,167 --> 00:35:53,833 As a space-faring race dependent upon trade with other worlds 650 00:35:53,917 --> 00:35:57,292 I'm sure you see the advantage in this. 651 00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:58,667 It's tempting. 652 00:36:00,250 --> 00:36:01,750 If.. 653 00:36:01,833 --> 00:36:05,542 If we decide to pursue this.. 654 00:36:05,625 --> 00:36:07,167 ...who should we negotiate with? 655 00:36:07,958 --> 00:36:10,583 - You? - No. 656 00:36:10,667 --> 00:36:12,083 The three of us 657 00:36:12,167 --> 00:36:15,375 make up the advisory board of the new alliance. 658 00:36:15,458 --> 00:36:18,958 We have a duly elected president, as you do. 659 00:36:19,042 --> 00:36:21,167 And where can I find this president? 660 00:36:22,958 --> 00:36:25,625 - 'You!' - Funny thing about retiring.. 661 00:36:25,708 --> 00:36:26,833 You no sooner pick out the places 662 00:36:26,917 --> 00:36:28,292 you wanna go on vacation 663 00:36:28,375 --> 00:36:30,917 then someone comes at you with another job offer. 664 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,250 Where's the certificate of amnesty? 665 00:36:33,333 --> 00:36:37,375 Oh, that, um, I gave copies of that to the reporters outside 666 00:36:37,458 --> 00:36:41,250 and the original is someplace safe. 667 00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:45,583 You knew this was coming the whole time, didn't you? 668 00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:49,667 The main thing was to protect my crew from retaliation. 669 00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:52,458 As for the new job, well.. 670 00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:54,625 I was hoping the League Worlds would pull it together 671 00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:56,375 but you never know. 672 00:36:56,458 --> 00:36:58,500 I guess the war finally taught them 673 00:36:58,583 --> 00:37:02,375 that we are better together than apart, heh. 674 00:37:02,458 --> 00:37:05,833 We've been building this thing up for months, bit by bit 675 00:37:05,917 --> 00:37:09,458 making them rely more and more on the Rangers and each other. 676 00:37:09,542 --> 00:37:12,583 But if they decided against the alliance 677 00:37:12,667 --> 00:37:14,625 or if they wanted somebody else.. 678 00:37:14,708 --> 00:37:16,167 Well, I was fine with that too. 679 00:37:19,375 --> 00:37:20,833 Ahem! 680 00:37:24,292 --> 00:37:27,125 [instrumental music] 681 00:37:30,583 --> 00:37:32,042 General. 682 00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:35,500 John, there is someone here you may want to see. 683 00:37:39,083 --> 00:37:40,167 Hey, dad. 684 00:37:41,250 --> 00:37:44,000 [laughing] 685 00:37:45,833 --> 00:37:47,583 - Are you okay? - I'm fine, I'm fine, son. 686 00:37:47,667 --> 00:37:49,042 - Yeah? - Yeah. 687 00:37:49,125 --> 00:37:50,708 As soon as you got out they started being real nice 688 00:37:50,792 --> 00:37:52,167 to me all of a sudden. 689 00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:54,125 I think, they figured out they were on the wrong side 690 00:37:54,208 --> 00:37:56,000 and there'd be hell to pay if anything happen. 691 00:37:56,083 --> 00:37:58,167 Oh, you bet. 692 00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:01,917 How's mom? 693 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,542 They never got near her. 694 00:38:03,625 --> 00:38:05,042 She's with friends in Minneapolis. 695 00:38:07,625 --> 00:38:10,250 I hear you're going to be my new daughter-in-law. 696 00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:11,500 Yes. 697 00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:14,042 - Well, welcome to the family. - Thank you. 698 00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:17,583 It's been a while since I had a place where I truly belonged. 699 00:38:17,667 --> 00:38:19,042 - Captain. - Hmm. 700 00:38:19,125 --> 00:38:20,833 Mr. President. 701 00:38:20,917 --> 00:38:23,708 President Luchenko is waiting for you, sir. 702 00:38:23,792 --> 00:38:25,417 Thank you. 703 00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,208 Mr. President? 704 00:38:30,458 --> 00:38:33,208 - It's a.. - Another long story. 705 00:38:33,292 --> 00:38:35,167 Well, there'll be plenty of time for stories later. 706 00:38:36,375 --> 00:38:38,208 All the time in the world. 707 00:38:43,458 --> 00:38:44,875 Good evening. 708 00:38:44,958 --> 00:38:47,542 We begin our broadcast tonight with a special report 709 00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,292 providing continuing coverage 710 00:38:49,375 --> 00:38:52,167 on the unfolding Babylon 5 story. 711 00:38:52,250 --> 00:38:54,250 'President Susanna Luchenko met today' 712 00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:56,417 'with representatives of the newly formed' 713 00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:58,292 'Interstellar Alliance.' 714 00:38:58,375 --> 00:38:59,917 'In a historic move' 715 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,458 Earth has agreed to join forces with the new alliance. 716 00:39:03,542 --> 00:39:05,083 In the same press conference 717 00:39:05,167 --> 00:39:07,792 the newly elected president of the Interstellar Alliance 718 00:39:07,875 --> 00:39:10,708 'John Sheridan had this surprising revelation.' 719 00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:13,750 Now, in order to join the alliance 720 00:39:13,833 --> 00:39:17,083 the rights of the colony worlds must be respected. 721 00:39:17,167 --> 00:39:18,625 If a majority of their population 722 00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:21,750 votes for independence, they must be freed. 723 00:39:21,833 --> 00:39:23,667 Later this afternoon, President Luchenko 724 00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:25,667 will sign an executive order 725 00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:29,167 declaring Mars a free and independent world. 726 00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:32,375 Obviously this will have to be ratified by the Senate. 727 00:39:36,292 --> 00:39:38,083 - So? - So. 728 00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:42,250 Have you decided yet whether you're going back to Babylon 5? 729 00:39:42,333 --> 00:39:44,875 Umm, no, not yet. 730 00:39:46,583 --> 00:39:49,458 I mean, Zack's got things under control. 731 00:39:49,542 --> 00:39:52,333 I'm really in no rush to make up my mind.. 732 00:39:52,417 --> 00:39:54,333 ...and I haven't had a vacation in five years. 733 00:39:55,875 --> 00:39:57,458 I think I'm due at least a few days. 734 00:39:58,500 --> 00:39:59,667 You know, I'm gonna need someone 735 00:39:59,750 --> 00:40:01,792 to help me run Edgars Industries. 736 00:40:03,375 --> 00:40:05,917 Oh, boy, we do that.. 737 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,458 ...they're gonna say that I married you for your money. 738 00:40:08,542 --> 00:40:10,625 [chuckles] Let them. 739
