SCHEDULE DELTA WING
FOR MAINTENANCE AT 1400

AND MAKE SURE
CONFERENCE ROOM SEVEN

IS PROPERLY LAID OUT FOR
THE TIKAR DELEGATION.

SIX YAWOOD CHAIRS
PLACED 1 METER APART
IN A STAR PATTERN

WITH THE HELOC ON
THE CENTER CHAIR.

VERY GOOD.

SHERIDAN.

CAPTAIN, THERE'S A PROBLEM

IN THE AMBASSADORIAL
SECTION.

THEY'RE ASKING FOR
A COMMAND OFFICER.

I'LL HANDLE IT.

HELP IS ON THE WAY.

AH, IT'S GOOD TO BE
THE CAPTAIN.

HA HA HA HA.

ISOGI-SAN.

TALIA, IT'S BEEN
TOO LONG.

AND WHAT DID YOU THINK
OF MY NEW MARS PROPOSAL?

IT'S LIKE ALL
YOUR PROPOSALS--

TOO PROGRESSIVE, TOO RISKY,
AND TOO COSTLY.

BUT IF YOU CAN
MAKE IT HAPPEN...

I MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN.

FUTURE CORP. HAS TO
EXPAND BEYOND EARTH,

AND MARS
IS THE FIRST STEP.

THE SENATE WON'T LIKE IT.

AND THE MARS CONGLOMERATE
WILL TRY TO BURY YOU.

WE'RE PREPARED FOR THAT.

WE NEED TO CONVINCE MARS
TO SHARE THE RISK.

AND IF THEY WON'T?

THEN THE PATH
TO FREEDOM

MAY WELL BE DRENCHED
WITH INNOCENT BLOOD.

A LONG-HELD DREAM
OF MINE WILL DIE.

MR. ISOGI?

AMANDA CARTER,

MARS COLONY
BUSINESS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

MISS CARTER,
MISS TALIA WINTERS,

ONE OF THE FINEST
COMMERCIAL TELEPATHS
I'VE WORKED WITH.

SHE WILL BE
MONITORING

OUR NEGOTIATIONS
FOR FUTURE CORP.

MS. WINTERS.

PLEASE.

I READ YOUR PROPOSAL,
MR. ISOGI,

AND FRANKLY,

YOU'RE EITHER INSANE
OR A VERY BRAVE MAN.

I IMAGINE THAT'S WHAT
THEY SAID OF YOUR
GREAT-GRANDFATHER JOHN

WHEN HE VOLUNTEERED
TO PILOT THE FIRST
COLONY SHIP TO MARS.

SO THEY DID.

LET'S TALK.

PLEASE.

WE'LL BEGIN BY FOCUSING

MORE ON THE NEEDS
OF OUR OWN PEOPLE,

TO MOVE ON TO CREATE
THE WORLD...

13.

ALL COMPONENTS HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY ON BABYLON 5.

CONTROL IS PREPARED TO GO ON-LINE.

COMMENCE OPERATION.

THE BABYLON PROJECT WAS
OUR LAST BEST HOPE FOR PEACE--

A SELF-CONTAINED WORLD
5 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.

SHERIDAN.

CAPTAIN, YOU HAVE
A TRANSMISSION FROM SENATOR VOUDREAU.

PATCH HER THROUGH.

CAPTAIN SHERIDAN.

SENATOR, WHAT CAN
I DO FOR YOU?

TARO ISOGI,

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF FUTURE CORP.,

HAS ARRANGED A MEETING
ON BABYLON 5
WITH AMANDA CARTER,

A REPRESENTATIVE

OF THE MARS
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.

CARTER IS
AN OUTSPOKEN ADVOCATE

OF MARS INDEPENDENCE.

WE SUSPECT FUTURE CORP.
IS CONSPIRING WITH HER

TO FINANCE
ANOTHER REBELLION
ON MARS COLONY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF?

WE KNOW FUTURE CORP.
DESPERATELY WANTS
A FOOTHOLD IN SPACE.

AN EXCLUSIVE TRADE
AND SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH MARS

WOULD GIVE IT TO THEM

IF THEY COULD MOVE
THE CURRENT MARS
CONGLOMERATE OUT.

MANY MEMBERS WANTED
TO PULL OUT AFTER
THE LAST REBELLION.

ANOTHER WOULD HAVE THEM
RUNNING LIKE RIVER RATS.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN,

BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER
CORPORATE NEGOTIATIONS.

BABYLON 5
IS NEUTRAL TERRITORY.

ANY RACE CAN NEGOTIATE HERE
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE,

EVEN OUR OWN.

THIS IS
A POSSIBLE THREAT

TO EARTH ALLIANCE
SECURITY, CAPTAIN,

AND AS SUCH,
WE'RE ASKING YOU
TO CHECK IT OUT.

NOTHING OFFICIAL.

KEEP AN EYE PEELED
AND AN EAR OPEN.

REPORT ANYTHING
OF INTEREST TO ME.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
SENATOR,

MY DUTIES
AS COMMANDER OF B-5

DON'T INCLUDE SPYING
ON CIVILIANS.

THESE ARE VOLATILE
TIMES, CAPTAIN.

PRACTICALITY IS
MORE IMPORTANT
THAN PRINCIPLES

IF LIVES ARE
TO BE SAVED.

I'LL EXPECT TO HEAR
FROM YOU SOON.

YES?

CAPTAIN, THE TIKAR DELEGATION IS DOCKING.

I'LL MEET THEM
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM
IMMEDIATELY.

MARS HAS RESOURCES
THE ALIEN WORLDS NEED.

NOW, THEY IN TURN CAN
SUPPLY AN ECONOMIC BASE

WHICH WILL ENABLE
THE COLONY TO BECOME
SELF-SUFFICIENT

WITHIN 10 YEARS.

YOU CAN WIN
YOUR INDEPENDENCE

WITHOUT BLOODSHED.

IT WILL BE A HARD SELL
WITH THE COMMITTEE.

THEY'LL NEED CONCRETE
ASSURANCES FROM
THE ALIEN WORLDS.

NOT ENTIRELY TRUE.
YOU'RE PRETTY SURE

THE COMMITTEE WILL ACCEPT
YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS
ASSURANCE.

YES, I DO, MS. WINTERS.

MARS IS BEING RIPPED APART
AT THE SEAMS NOW.

BEFORE I BARGAIN
WITH ITS FUTURE,

I NEED TO KNOW
WHAT'S EXPECTED OF US.

NATURALLY. THAT'S
ONE OF THE REASONS

WHY I SUGGESTED
BABYLON 5
FOR THIS MEETING.

ALL OUR
PROSPECTIVE PARTNERS

HAVE REPRESENTATIVES
HERE.

WE CAN IRON OUT
ALL THE DETAILS

TO YOUR GOVERNMENT'S
SATISFACTION.

YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE
YOU CAN MAKE THIS WORK?

NO.

I BELIEVE WECAN TRY.

I'LL SPEAK WITH THE BUSINESS
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

I THINK I CAN HAVE AN ANSWER
BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

VERY GOOD.

SHE LIKES THE IDEA.
SHE HAS HER DOUBTS,

BUT BASICALLY,
SHE LIKES IT.

AND YOU? NOW THAT
YOU'VE HEARD THE DETAILS
OF MY LITTLE PLAN,

DO YOU ALSO HAVE
YOUR DOUBTS?

FRANKLY, YES.
THE FINANCIAL RISK
IS BAD ENOUGH,

BUT THE LEGAL MANEUVERING
WILL BE EVEN--

I WANT TO HEAR THEM...

OVER DINNER.

I'D LOVE TO.

HELLO, COMMANDER.

MAY I?
PLEASE.

HOW DID THE CONFERENCE GO?

OH, VERY WELL.
VERY WELL.

YOUR SEATING ARRANGEMENT
WAS FLAWLESS.

THE TIER CORVAL HIMSELF
COMPLIMENTED IT.

I THINK WE'LL BE SEEING
THE TIKAR ON
BABYLON 5 SOON.

I'M PLEASED. THEY'RE
AN INTERESTING PEOPLE.

AND YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE
FIRST CONTACT WITH THEM?

YES. THE AGAMEMNONWAS
IN AN UNEXPLORED SECTOR

BEYOND
THE ST. ANDRE NEBULA

WHEN WE CITED
THIS GREEN CLOUD

FLOATING IN SPACE,

ONLY IT WASN'T A CLOUD.
IT WAS A SHIP.

WE HAILED IT,
BUT GOT NO RESPONSE.

WE MOVED TOWARD IT.
IT MOVED AWAY.

WE KEPT THAT UP
FOR HOURS,

UNTIL FINALLY
THEY RESPONDED.

IT TOOK OUR
LINGUISTICS DIVISION
A WHOLE DAY

TO GET EVEN CLOSE
TO DECIPHERING
THEIR LANGUAGE.

THEY'D ALREADY
DECIPHERED OURS,

BUT NEGLECTED
TO TELL US SO.

OH.

OH, A JOVIAN SUNSPOT.AHH.

YOU'RE INDULGING.

I EARNED IT,
AND I'M OFF-DUTY.

PLEASE, CONTINUE.

WELL,

WE FINALLY BROKE
THE LANGUAGE BARRIER

AND INTRODUCED
OURSELVES.

AND I WAS INVITED ABOARD
THEIR SHIP.

OH, IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

I'D NEVER SEEN
SO MUCH SPACE
ON A STARSHIP,

AND THE TIKAR THEMSELVES
ARE SO UNLIKE

ANY OTHER ALIEN SPECIES
WE'D ENCOUNTERED.

I SPENT TWO DAYS
WITH THEM,

AND WHAT I LEARNED
IN THAT TIME

MADE ME REALIZE
JUST HOW WONDROUS

THIS GALAXY OF OURS
REALLY IS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU
SO EXCITED ABOUT
A DEAL BEFORE.

WELL, IT'S NOT JUST
A DEAL, TALIA.

IT'S A STEP
INTO THE FUTURE.

MARS CAN BE
THE BEGINNING

OF A WHOLE NEW LIFE
FOR THE HUMAN SPECIES,

AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

FREE MARS.

AAH!

NO!

TARO!

TARO.

SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT THE IMAGES YOU GOT
FROM THE KILLER MEANT.

NO. IT WAS ALL
TOO QUICK,

JUST A--A BLUR
OF LIGHT AND SOUND,

AND THEN THE BLACKNESS.

ALL HE SAID WAS
"FREE MARS"?

YES, BUT
MY FIRST ASSIGNMENT
WAS MARS COLONY.

I SCANNED SEVERAL
FREE MARS PEOPLE
DURING THAT TIME.

THEY'RE VIOLENT FANATICS

WITH A MURDEROUS HATRED
OF EARTH ALLIANCE,

BUT THIS MAN
WAS DIFFERENT.

THERE WAS NO
THOUGHT OF A CAUSE
IN HIS HEAD,

NO ANGER.
NO EMOTION OF ANY KIND,

JUST THOSE IMAGES.

SO WHAT REASON WOULD
FREE MARS HAVE FOR
KILLING YOUR CLIENT?

NONE.

TARO'S PROPOSAL WAS
A PEACEFUL SOLUTION

TO THE MARS PROBLEM.

WELL, EARTH CENTRAL
FEELS DIFFERENTLY.

THEY BELIEVED HE WAS
GOING TO BACK ANOTHER
REBELLION ON MARS.

TARO HATED
THE VIOLENCE ON MARS.

HE NEVER WOULD HAVE
DONE SUCH A THING.

SOMEONE'S BEEN
LYING TO YOU.

OR TO YOU.

I'M A TELEPATH.

TELEPATHS ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

YOU WERE AN OLD FRIEND
OF ISOGI'S. YOU TRUSTED HIM.

WITH GOOD REASON.
TARO ISOGI
SPENT HIS LIFE

IMPROVING THE LIVES
OF OTHERS.

HE BUILT A BUSINESS
BASED ON THAT PRINCIPLE,

AND HE NEVER BROKE A RULE
AND HARMED ANOTHER TO DO IT.

MARS WAS HIS DREAM,
CAPTAIN.

NOW HE'S BEEN MURDERED
FOR IT,

AND YOU'RE TRYING TO
CAST THE BLAME ON HIM.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY, TOO.

I'M ALSO TIRED,
AND I HURT.

MAY I GO BACK
TO MY QUARTERS NOW?

YES. I'LL ARRANGE
FOR AN ESCORT.

ONE ESCORT
AT YOUR SERVICE.

THIS REALLY
ISN'T NECESSARY.

CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.

HE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

SO AM I.

BESIDES,
THIS GIVES US A CHANCE

TO GET TO KNOW
EACH OTHER BETTER.

I'VE LED
A FASCINATING LIFE.

MR. GARIBALDI,
TARO ISOGI WAS LIKE
A FATHER TO ME.

I LOVED HIM AS A CLIENT,
MENTOR, AND FRIEND,

AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

YOU'LL FORGIVE ME IF
I'M NOT IN THE MOOD

FOR YOUR USUAL BADINAGE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S A BAD TIME FOR YOU.
I'M BEING A YUTZ.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

COULD YOU AT LEAST
TELL ME WHAT
BADINAGE MEANS?

HA HA HA HA.

WELL, MY POP ALWAYS
SAID THAT LAUGHTER'S
BETTER THAN PILLS

FOR WHAT AILS YOU.

HE WAS RIGHT.

WE'LL GET THE CREEP
WHO DID THIS.
I PROMISE.

THAT WON'T BRING TARO BACK

OR HIS DREAMS
FOR MARS COLONY.

NO, BUT IT WILL SAVE
SOMEONE ELSE
FROM GETTING KILLED.

COMMAND?

CODE, ALPHA-6-6-ZETA-3.

UNABLE TO RESPOND.

CODE NOT RECOGNI--

CODE ACKNOWLEDGED.
REPORT.

PHASE ONE COMPLETE.

DOWNLOAD ALL
MISSION DATA,

THEN ERASE
SOURCE FILE.

TARO!

WITNESS I.D.--
TALIA WINTERS.

RESIDENT COMMERCIAL
TELEPATH.

RATING, P-5.

STAND BY.

CONTROL STATES

MISS WINTERS COULD
JEOPARDIZE MISSION.

ELIMINATE HER,
THEN CONTINUE
WITH PHASE TWO.

UNDERSTOOD.

SEARCH MODE.

LOCATION OF TALIA WINTERS.

HOLD ALL OUTGOING TRAFFIC
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

THERE'S BEEN A MURDER.
I DON'T WANT THE KILLER
JUMPING STATION.

YOU KNOW WHO IT IS?

NOT YET.
WE HAVE AN EYEWITNESS--

TALIA WINTERS.

WAS SHE HURT?

FORTUNATELY NOT.

I THINK THE KILLER
WANTED A WITNESS.

TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF HER?

MS. WINTERS?

I THINK SHE'S
AN INTERESTING PERSON.

YOU NEVER DESCRIBE
ANYBODY THAT WAY.

WELL, I DON'T REALLY
KNOW HER THAT WELL.

I MEAN, WE'VE CHATTED
FROM TIME TO TIME,

AND SHE'S INTERESTING.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT TELEPATHS.

DO I EVER.

YOU THREW ONE
OUT OF A THIRD STORY
WINDOW ONCE.

THERE WAS A POOL BELOW.

I'LL ASSUME
YOU KNEW THAT.

ASIDE FROM MISS WINTERS'
INTERESTING QUALITY,

DO YOU THINK SHE
CAN BE TRUSTED?

YES, EXCEPT...

SHE'S VERY LOYAL
TO PSI CORPS.

AND YOU DON'T
TRUST PSI CORPS?

NO. DO YOU?

TELEPATHS ARE GIFTED
AND CURSED

IN WAYS I CAN NEVER
HOPE TO UNDERSTAND,

BUT THEY'RE STILL
HUMAN BEINGS,

GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT.

NO.

I TRUST IN INDIVIDUALS,

NOT ORGANIZATIONS.

THEN YOU MAY TRUST
MS. WINTERS.

COME IN.

MISS CARTER.

I'M CAPTAIN
JOHN SHERIDAN,

COMMANDER
OF BABYLON 5.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOUR MEETING
WITH TARO ISOGI.

I'M AFRAID I MUST
DECLINE, CAPTAIN.

PRIVATE NEGOTIATIONS
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO
EARTH FOR SCRUTINY.

IN THIS CASE, THEY ARE.

MR. ISOGI WAS MURDERED
LAST NIGHT.

WHAT? WHO COULD HAVE--

ACCORDING
TO AN EYEWITNESS,

THE KILLER SAID
"FREE MARS."

FREE MARS?

YES.

NO. THAT CAN'T BE.

THERE'S NO WAY THEY
COULD HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT THIS MEETING.

AND EVEN IF THEY DID,

THEY HAD NOTHING TO GAIN
BY KILLING MR. ISOGI.

TARO WAS WORKING TO ACHIEVE
A PEACEFUL COMPROMISE

THAT WOULD ENSURE
THE COLONY'S INDEPENDENCE

WITHOUT BLOODSHED.

SOMEBODY OBVIOUSLY
DIDN'T LIKE IT.

DAMN THEM.

ANY IDEA WHO
THEYMIGHT BE?

THE SENATE.
MARS CONGLOMERATE.

THEY'D BE THE MOST OPPOSED.

I NEVER THOUGHT
THEY'D GO THIS FAR.

THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME.

I MAY HAVE SOME
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
FOR YOU LATER.

I'LL BE GLAD TO HELP.

WHOEVER KILLED TARO ISOGI

KILLED MARS' BEST HOPE
FOR THE FUTURE.

WHAT HAVE YOU
COME UP WITH?

FORENSICS SAID
ISOGI'S BODY WAS HIT

WITH A MASSIVE
ELECTRICAL CHARGE,

DISRUPTED EVERY CELL
IN HIS BODY.

THERE ARE SCORCH MARKS
ON HIS THROAT

THAT SHOW THE OUTLINE
OF FINGERS.

BUT NO PRINTS OR STRIATIONS
OF ANY KIND.

A SLAVER'S GLOVE?

NAH. I MEAN,
THEY PACK A JOLT,

BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DO
THIS MUCH DAMAGE.

THIS IS HIGH-TECH

AND DEFINITELY NOT STANDARD
FREE MARS ISSUE.

MY GUESS IS SOME SORT
OF PROSTHETIC WEAPONRY.

WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE

IS HOW HE GOT IT
ON THE STATION.

A POWER SOURCE
THAT GENERATES
THAT BIG A CHARGE

SHOULD SHOW UP
ON SCANNERS.

MAYBE HE HAD SOME
SPECIAL HELP.

YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT?

NOT TILL WE HAVE
MORE TO GO ON.

KEEP AN ESCORT
ON MS. WINTERS

AND INTENSIFY
THE SEARCH.

INCLUDE EARTH GOV.
AND CORP. SECURE AREAS.

WILL DO.

CAPTAIN...

I'D SURE LIKE TO
KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING WITH THIS.

SOMEPLACE VERY DARK.

I HOPE TO GOD I'M WRONG.

HEY, EARTHER!

AAH!

FREE MARS.

NO.

HELP!

HELP ME, SOMEBODY!

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO ME?

OW! UH!

UH.

THE IMAGES IN HIS MIND
WERE THE SAME AS BEFORE,

EXCEPT THIS TIME I SAW
AN EARTH ALLIANCE SHIP--

A BIG ONE.
A CRUISER, I THINK.

IT WAS FIRING AT HIM,

AND I KNOW THIS SOUNDS
CRAZY,

BUT IT HIT HIM,
AND HE DIED.

DIED?

IT WAS AS IF HE WERE
RELIVING THE THOUGHT
OF HIS DEATH,

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

CLINGING TO IT
AS IF IT WERE
THE ONLY THOUGHT HE HAD.

CAPTAIN, WE GOT
AN I.D. ON OUR PERP.

I CHECKED THE DNA
IN THE HAIR

MS. WINTERS PULLED OUT
OF HIS HEAD. IT'S POSITIVE.
TAKE A LOOK.

THAT'S HIM.

HE'S FREE MARS. ONE OF THEIR
LEADERS. ABEL HORN.

ABEL HORN?

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

IN A WAY.

MY WIFE ANNA AND I
HAD SPECIAL FRIENDS
ON MARS.

THEY WORKED
AT RITCHIE STATION

THEY WERE THERE
WHEN FREE MARS
BLEW IT.

ABEL HORN CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY
FOR IT.

I WANT HIM,
MR. GARIBALDI.

SO DO I, BUT
THERE'S A PROBLEM.

ACCORDING TO EARTH FORCE
INTELLIGENCE, ABEL HORN'S DEAD.

A CRUISER SCRAGGED HIS SHIP
OVER PHOBOS

DURING THE REBELLION.

OH, MY GOD.

IS THAT WHAT YOU SAW
IN HIS MIND?

YES.

WOULD SOMEONE
TELL ME

WHAT THE HELL WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT...SIR?

LATER.

RIGHT NOW, I WANT
HER IN PROTECTIVE
CUSTODY,

AND A FUGITIVE ALERT
POSTED ON HORN.

DONE.
MS. WINTERS?

AMANDA.

IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME.

I THOUGHT YOU
WERE DEAD.

DAMN NEAR.

EARTHERS BLEW ME UP
OVER PHOBOS.

YOUR OLD BUDDY
SINGER FOUND ME,
GOT ME OUT.

A SNAKEHEAD DOC
FIXED ME UP.

I'VE BEEN HIDING
IN THE TIGRESS SECTOR
EVER SINCE.

THEN I GOT WORD
YOU WERE COMING HERE.

WHY DID YOU KILL
TARO ISOGI?

WHO?

THE MAN I CAME HERE
TO MEET.

THEY SAY YOU KILLED HIM. THERE'S
A FUGITIVE ALERT FOR YOU.

THEY'RE LYING.

I HAVEN'T
KILLED ANYONE.

I CAME HERE
TO SEE YOU.

I HAVE TO RETURN
TO MARS.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HELP ME.

I CAN'T DO THAT,
ABEL.

I'M FINALLY
IN A POSITION

TO HELP WITH MARS'
INDEPENDENCE.

IF ANYONE KNEW
I WAS ONCE A MEMBER
OF FREE MARS--

WHICH JUST MIGHT
COME OUT,

IF THEY WERE
TO CATCH ME HERE.

YOU CAME HERE
TO BLACKMAIL ME

INTO SMUGGLING YOU
BACK TO MARS?

THAT WAS NEVER
YOUR STYLE, ABEL.

I'VE CHANGED.

AAH!

ABEL, WHAT'S WRONG?

AAH!

ABEL!

AMANDA, PLEASE,
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.

HELP ME!

THEY DID SOMETHING
T-TO ME.

THE TEL-TELEPATH
KNOWS--

TALIA WINTERS. AAH!

ABEL!

SAW IT IN MY HEAD.

HAVE TO--HAVE TO--
HAVE TO FIND HER.

LOSE--LOSE--LOSING
CONTROL.

STOP! STOP!

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN HERE.
I HAVE A FULL DETAIL ON IT.

IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY
TO GET TO YOU.

IF YOU NEED TO GO LEAVE,
THE GUARD POST WILL
ASSIGN AN ESCORT.

TRY TO RELAX.
ENJOY YOURSELF.

WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF THIS GUY.

MR. GARIBALDI, I WAS JUST GOING
TO MAKE A CUP OF TEA
TO SOOTHE MY NERVES.

WOULD YOU LIKE ONE?

WELL, SINCE I AM
CHIEF OF SECURITY,

I GUESS SEEING
YOUR SECURE
IS MY JOB,

AND TEA JUST HAPPENS
TO BE MY THIRD FAVORITE THING
IN THE UNIVERSE.

I NEEDED THIS YESTERDAY.

COMMANDER, THE CAPTAIN
OF THE MATHESON

IS DEMANDING AN UPDATE
ON HIS DEPARTURE.

TELL HIM TO GO AWAY.
TELL THEM ALL TO GO AWAY.

HOW'S IT GOING?

WE'VE HAD 20 COMPLAINTS
AND 6 FORMAL PROTESTS
ALL IN THE LAST HOUR.

THE NATIVES
ARE VERY RESTLESS.

START MOVING THEM OUT.

WHAT ABOUT
THE MURDERER?

I DON'T THINK
HE'S TRYING
TO LEAVE YET,

BUT HAVE EVERY
SHIP SEARCHED.

I'LL BE IN MY QUARTERS. THERE'S
SOMETHING I WANT TO CHECK OUT.

SO THEN MY POP
SAYS TO THE GUY,

50 CREDITS
FOR A SALAMI?

I COULD'VE
KILLED YOU FOR 20.

YOUR FATHER
WAS QUITE A CHARACTER.

HE WAS THE BEST.

HE COOKED LIKE AN ANGEL,
SWORE LIKE THE DEVIL,

AND TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING
I KNOW ABOUT SECURITY.

THE OLD MAN COULD SPOT
A CROOK A SECTOR AWAY

AND STILL HAULED THEM IN
AT 75.

THEN HE GOT
TORQUE SYNDROME

AND JUST KIND OF
FADED AWAY.

I SURE MISS HIM.

I NEVER REALLY KNEW
MY FATHER

OR MY MOTHER.

I WAS RAISED BY PSI CORPS
FROM THE TIME I WAS 5.

OF COURSE,
THERE WAS ABBY.

ABBY?

SHE WAS MY SUPPORT
DURING MY FIRST YEAR
AT THE CENTER.

WHEN TELEPATHS
FIRST COME,

THEY'RE ASSIGNED
A SENIOR TELEPATH

TO GUIDE THEM THROUGH
THE EARLY STAGES OF THE PROGRAM.

THE FIRST DAY,
I WAS CRYING
ALL THE TIME.

I WAS SCARED AND CONFUSED
AND HURTING,

AND THEN ABBY CAME.

SHE HELD ME
FOR A VERY LONG TIME,

NEVER SAYING A WORD.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT THEN,
BUT SHE WAS SCANNING ME

EVER SO GENTLY,

AND LITTLE BY LITTLE,

THE PAIN AND FEAR
AND CONFUSION MELTED,

AND ALL THAT WAS LEFT
WAS THIS WARM SAFE PLACE
IN MY MIND.

IT WAS WONDERFUL,

BUT THE NEXT YEAR,
ABBY WAS ASSIGNED
TO ANOTHER NEWCOMER.

GARIBALDI.

MR. GARIBALDI,

PLEASE REPORT
TO MY QUARTERS.

ON MY WAY.

SORRY.

MR. GARIBALDI.

THANK YOU.

MY PLEASURE,
MISS WINTERS.

COME.

MR. GARIBALDI,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

"PROJECT LAZARUS."
NEVER HEARD OF IT.

IT WAS PART OF
EARTH FORCE'S
CYBER EXPERIMENTS

BACK IN THE LATE THIRTIES.

MOST OF THE CYBER
EXPERIMENTS
WERE A BUST.

HUMANS COULDN'T FUNCTION
WITH MACHINES
IN THEIR BRAINS.

CORRECT. THAT'S WHY THEY
STARTED USING SUBJECTS
ON THE VERGE OF DEATH--

ACCIDENT VICTIMS,
WOUNDED SOLDIERS,
PEOPLE IN COMAS.

YOU'RE KIDDING?

THAT'S GROTESQUE.

IT GETS EVEN BETTER.

THE THEORY WAS TO HARDWIRE
THE SUBJECT'S BRAIN

WITH A COMPUTER
INTELLIGENCE.

IT KEPT THE BRAIN
FUNCTIONAL

WHILE THE BODY
WAS REPAIRED,

THEN USING
TELEPATHIC DEEP SCAN,

THE SUBJECT WAS FIXATED
ON THE MOMENT
OF HIS DEATH,

SHUTTING DOWN
ALL CONSCIOUS THOUGHT.

THE COMPUTER TAKES
COMPLETE CONTROL

WHILE THE SUBJECT IS DYING
OVER AND OVER AGAIN

IN HIS SUBCONSCIOUS.

MISS WINTERS SAID
THAT HORN WAS CLINGING

TO THE THOUGHT
OF HIS DEATH,

AS IF IT WERE
THE ONLY THOUGHT HE HAD.

HOLD ON. ARE YOU SAYING HORN
IS ONE OF THESE CYBER ZOMBIES?

I'M SAYING HE MIGHT BE.

HIS BODY COULD'VE BEEN RECOVERED
AFTER THE BLAST.

OR INTELLIGENCE
WAS WRONG AGAIN,

AND HORN WAS NEVER
IN THE SHIP
THAT WAS BLASTED.

WELL, THAT'S THE SIMPLE
EXPLANATION.

AND ORDINARILY,
I'D ACCEPT IT,

BUT THIS ISN'T
A SIMPLE THING.

A KNOWN FREE MARS
TERRORIST

KILLS A MAN
IN FRONT OF A WITNESS

AND LEAVES HER ALIVE.

LATER HE KILLS ANOTHER MAN
TO GET TO THAT WITNESS

AND AGAIN LEAVES HER
ALIVE. WHY?

MAYBE HE'S SQUEAMISH
ABOUT KILLING WOMEN.

OR MAYBE TALIA WINTERS
TOUCHED SOMETHING IN HIM,

SOMETHING THAT MADE HORN
REALIZE WHO HE REALLY WAS
FOR A MOMENT.

AND I THINK
IT'S PLAYING HAVOC
WITH HIS PROGRAMMING.

YOU ALMOST HAVE ME
BELIEVING THIS LOAD.

I'M NOT SURE
I BELIEVE IT MYSELF,

BUT IF IT'S TRUE,

THIS SHOULD BE A WAY
TO LOCATE HIM.

COMMAND.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE
A TRANSMISSION
TO MISS TALIA WINTERS.

WORKING.

SO YOU'LL MEET
WITH ME?

YES. IN A HALF HOUR?

I'LL LOOK FORWARD
TO IT.

AMANDA, I KNEW
YOU'D HELP ME.

ABEL,
ALL I DID WAS--

AAH!

WELL, THIS IS A LONG SHOT.

MY INFORMATION ON LAZARUS
IS 20 YEARS OLD,

BUT ACCORDING
TO THE FILES,

THE COMPUTER POWER CRYSTAL

EMITS A LOW LEVEL
OF A BENIGN RADIATION.

IT WOULDN'T ORDINARILY
SHOW UP ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNERS,

BUT IF WE COULD
RECONFIGURE THEM
TO LOOK FOR IT,

GARIBALDI.

CHIEF, ZACK ALLAN.

MS. WINTERS REQUESTS AN ESCORT

FOR A BUSINESS MEETING IN RED 7.

WITH WHO?
AMANDA CARTER.

THAT'S A GO, ZACK.
COME THROUGH RED ALPHA.
I'LL JOIN YOU AT POINT 6.

THIS IS TRICKIER
THAN I THOUGHT.

THE ELEMENT
IS DEFINITELY
OUT OF DATE.

WHY NOT LET
THE WIZARD HAVE A GO?

NOW...
ALL WE HAVE TO DO

IS CROSS-REFERENCE
WITH THE MEDLAB FILES,

FIND THE UPDATED
ELEMENT NUMBER,

LOG THAT
WITH E-SYSTEMS

AND VOILA!

IT'S TRICKIER
THAN YOU THOUGHT.

THANKS.

MR. WIZARD.

MISS WINTERS, IT'S NOT
A GOOD IDEA

TO BE ROAMING
AROUND THE STATION.

I'M HARDLY ROAMING.

NO, I GUESS NOT,

SO WHAT'S UP?

AMANDA CARTER
WANTS TO PURSUE
TARO'S PLAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF I
CAN CONVINCE FUTURE
CORP. TO GO ALONG,

BUT IF I COULD, IT WOULD
BE LIKE A MEMORIAL FOR TARO.

THEY CAN KILL A GOOD MAN,
BUT NOT A GOOD IDEA.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

WE'LL BE RIGHT HERE.

HELLO?

MISS CARTER.

MISS CARTER?

MAKE ONE SOUND,
AND I'LL KILL YOU.

THAT SHOULD DO IT.

COMPUTER, BEGIN SCAN.

COMMENCING.

WHAT AM I?

TELL ME!I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE A MIND BENDER.

YOU SAW IT
IN MY HEAD.

TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS!

TELL ME!

PAIN. PAIN.

YES, PAIN!

TELL ME.
TELL ME, PLEASE?

PLEASE?

OURS NOW.

ALL OURS.

YOU WERE DYING.

THEY OPERATED ON YOU,

REBUILT YOU.

SCANNED YOU.

THERE WAS A PSI COP.

SCAN COMPLETE.

LOW-LEVEL IRANIUM
RADIATION DETECTED.

RED 7.

SUITE 15.

SUITE 15?

AMANDA CARTER.

GARIBALDI.

CAPTAIN.

WHERE'S MS. WINTERS?

MEETING WITH MISS CARTER
IN HER QUARTERS.

OUR PERP'S INSIDE.
GET HIM, BUT GET HIM ALIVE.

I'M ON MY WAY!

OUR PERP'S INSIDE. JACKSON,
LEFT SIDE. HANSON, RIGHT.

WATCH OUT FOR TALIA. REMEMBER,
THIS GUY KILLS BY TOUCH.

ZACK, LET'S GET THE DOOR.

READY?

GO!

FREEZE!

I'LL FRY HER.
I SWEAR IT!

END OF THE ROAD, PAL.
THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO.

THINK ABOUT IT.

CAN'T THINK.

AAH! UH!

WHEN I THINK--

O.K. O.K.
TAKE IT EASY.

DROP THE GUNS.

BACK OFF! DO IT!

DO IT.

YOU HURT THAT LADY,

AND I'LL SEE IT TAKES YOU
10 DAYS TO DIE.

I'M ALREADY DEAD,
MR. SECURITY MAN.

NO, YOU AREN'T, HORN!

NOW JUST LISTEN TO ME.

THEY'RE USING YOU
TO BETRAY YOUR OWN WORLD.

HOW DO YOU
KNOW THIS?

YOU KNOW IT, TOO,
ABEL.

YOU CAN FEEL THE MACHINE
CRAWLING IN YOUR BRAIN.

GET OUT OF MY WAY!

LET US HELP YOU.
THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO DO.

YOU LET HER GO,

AND WE'LL HELP YOU.

YOU'VE DIED TOO MANY
TIMES, ABEL.

THERE'S NO NEED
TO DIE AGAIN.

GOOD.

NOW PUT THE WEAPON DOWN.

IT WAS THE EARTHERS,
WASN'T IT?

IT WAS--WASN'T ENOUGH
JUST TO KILL ME.

WE'LL FIND OUT
WHO IT WAS TOGETHER.

JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.

MARS WILL NEVER
BE FREE

UNTIL THE SANDS RUN RED
WITH EARTHER BLOOD.

AAH!

UH!

THANKS FOR ENDING IT,
EARTHER.

DAMN IT!

CAPTAIN, I'M READING
A DANGEROUS ENERGY SURGE
FROM THE BODY.

GET HER OUT OF HERE.

COME ON.
EVERYBODY OUT.

COME ON! GO! NOW!

AAH!

NO TRACE.

NO EVIDENCE.

I'M VERY SORRY,
MS. WINTERS.

ABEL SAID YOU KNEW
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM.

I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT HIM.

I--I NEVER THOUGHT
HE WOULD TRY
TO HARM YOU.

AND HOW DOES A MARS
GOVERNMENT REP

KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT
A FREE MARS TERRORIST?

ABEL HORN
WASN'T ALWAYS A TERRORIST.

15 YEARS AGO,
HE WAS A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN,

UTTERLY DEVOTED
TO INDEPENDENCE
FOR MARS COLONY.

THAT'S WHEN I MET HIM

AND FELL IN LOVE
WITH HIM.

HE CONVINCED ME TO JOIN
FREE MARS.

IT WASN'T A RADICAL GROUP
AT THE TIME.

LATER, WHEN THEY BEGAN
TO BECOME VIOLENT,

I LEFT THEM.

I NEVER SAW ABEL AGAIN
UNTIL TODAY.

OH, TELL ME
ANOTHER ONE.

YOU COULD HAVE
MS. WINTERS SCAN ME

IF YOU THINK
I'M LYING.

BESIDES, I'VE ALREADY SAID
ENOUGH TO RUIN MY CAREER.

IF WE REPORT IT.

ARE YOU PROPOSING
A DEAL, CAPTAIN?

YOU SAID TARO ISOGI'S PLAN
WAS THE BEST HOPE FOR MARS.

DID YOU MEAN THAT?

YES.

THEN CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE
WITH FUTURE CORP.

MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I DOUBT THEY'D BE INTERESTED
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

I'LL BE GLAD TO SPEAK
TO THEM FOR YOU.

I'LL MAKE IT CLEAR YOUR
GOVERNMENT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE MURDER.

I'M SURE
THEY'LL CONSIDER
GOING AHEAD.

WHY?

TO MAKE SURE
TARO ISOGI'S DREAM
BECOMES A REALITY

AND TO KEEP YOU
WHERE YOU CAN DO
THE MOST GOOD.

THANK YOU.

WE'LL TALK LATER.

CAPTAIN,
BEGGING YOUR PARDON,

BUT HAVE YOU
GONE SPACE HAPPY?

THAT WOMAN'S
AN ACCESSORY
TO ATTEMPTED MURDER.

HORN WASN'T TRYING
TO KILL ME.

HE WANTED ME
TO SCAN HIM.

THERE WAS SOMETHING
IN HIS MIND
CONTROLLING HIM.

SOMETHING HE WANTED
ME TO FIND.

AND DID YOU?

I SAW AN IMAGE,

SOME SORT
OF AN OPERATION.

WELL, DID YOU
RECOGNIZE ANYTHING--

A LOCATION, A FACE,
UNIFORM?

NO.

TAKE MS. WINTERS
TO HER QUARTERS.

I'LL HELP IVANOVA
MOVE THE TRAFFIC OUT.

CAPTAIN.

MR. GARIBALDI.

IS THERE SOMETHING?

THERE'S A WHOLE LIST.

LET'S START WITH HOW YOU KNEW
ABOUT THE LAZARUS PROJECT.

SOME PEOPLE
COLLECT COINS OR ART.

I COLLECT SECRETS,
BLACK PROJECTS,

CONSPIRACIES,
SECRET ORGANIZATIONS.

THEY FASCINATE ME.

DOES ONE OF THOSE SECRETS

INCLUDE WHO WAS BEHIND
THIS THING?

IT'S BETTER
YOU DON'T ASK THAT.

LOOK CAPTAIN,
I KNOW YOU DON'T TRUST ME

THE WAY JEFF USED TO,

BUT IF THIS THERE'S
A THREAT TO THIS STATION--

THE THREAT GOES FAR BEYOND
BABYLON 5, MR. GARIBALDI.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

IF HORN WAS
WHAT YOU SAY HE WAS,

THEN THIS THING SURE AS HELL HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH FREE MARS.

TO PULL SOMETHING
LIKE THIS OFF

WOULD TAKE A LOT
OF POWER AND A LOT OF MONEY,

AND I THINK YOU KNOW
WHO IT IS.

ALRIGHT, BUT PROMISE ME

THIS INFORMATION
WILL NEVER BE REPEATED
OUTSIDE THIS ROOM.

YOU GOT IT.

FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS,
THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS

ABOUT A ROGUE AGENCY
OPERATING DEEP INSIDE
EARTH GOV.,

A DIRTY TRICKS SQUAD,

DEALING IN BLACK PROJECTS
AND STAR CHAMBER JUSTICE.

IT TOOK ME OVER THREE YEARS
JUST TO GET A NAME.

BUREAU 13,

AND THE MAN WHO GAVE ME
THAT NAME

DIED SOON AFTER.

I AM CONVINCED THEY EXIST

AND THAT THEY'RE
BEHIND THIS INCIDENT.

WHY?

ISOGI WAS A DANGER
TO EARTH POLICY ON MARS.

I THINK HIS DEATH
WAS A WARNING
TO THE OTHER CORPORATIONS.

I ALSO THINK HORN
WAS MEANT

TO DESTROY FREE MARS
FROM THE INSIDE

AND POSSIBLY RUIN
AMANDA CARTER AS WELL.

UNFORTUNATELY,
I CAN'T PROVE ANY OF IT.

IF THIS IS TRUE--

THEN EVERYTHING
WE BELIEVE IN
IS IN JEOPARDY.

THERE IS A SPIDER
IN THE WEB, MR. GARIBALDI.

AND I INTEND TO FIND IT
AND KILL IT.

13.

REPORT FROM BABYLON 5 CONTROL MISSION

ONLY PARTLY SUCCESSFUL.

ISOGI TERMINATED, BUT UNIT WAS DESTROYED

BEFORE HE COULD LEAVE STATION FOR MARS.

IS THE BUREAU
AT HAZARD?

CONTROL DOES NOT BELIEVE SO.

BELIEF IS NOT ENOUGH.

HE IS TO FOLLOW UP
UNTIL HE IS CERTAIN.

13 OUT.

SCANNING FILES
FROM LISTED DATA.

ALL OURS.

MATCH FOUND.
