Please, please, everyone.

Listen to me.

Everyone, please.

You have to understand.

The Alliance is moving as quickly as it can.

You promised us technological
advances when we joined you.

They're coming.

As soon as all your governments

sign The Declaration Of Principles.

You have agreed to abide by everything else.

'Why can't you sign the declaration?'

You cannot legislate morality, Delenn.

'No, but we can encourage others'

to act with charity toward one another.

The Alliance is about more than hardware.

I would remind the Drazi ambassador

that the Centauri Republic

has already signed the declaration.

And if the Centauri can sign it

anybody can sign it.

That's right.. Wait a minute.

The Drazi have always respected

the rights of our neighboring worlds.

We have never enslaved a race

'or exploited another race.'

'We do not need others'

'to teach us morality.'

'The Drazi refuse to sign'

'because we do not needto sign.'

'Who stands with us?'

Wait, wait, wait. Listen.

Everyone, please listen.

That was quite a little circus you had

goin' there, Mr. President.

Londo thinks we should drop

the Declaration Of Principles.

Yeah, well,
you gotta consider the source, right?

Mmm,
G'Kar's taking it as a personal rejection.

- Since he wrote the damn thing.
- Oh, writers.

They are a sensitive bunch.

And Delenn?

Ready to strangle someone

which is saying a lot for her.

So where do you stand?

I hate to say it, but I'm with Londo.

This isn't the time to start legislating

morality or ethics, fairness..

Hell, we've been working on
that one for over 6,000 years.

You're not gonna settle it now.

If we don't make it clear what we stand for

right from the start,
then we don't stand for anything.

I didn't go through all this
just to make a social club

or some high-tech store.

- This is about something.
- I'm not arguin'.

I'm just sayin' this isn't the right time.

Right now, we should be concentrating

on more concrete issues.

Now, call me a warmonger if you like

or slightly to the right of Attila The Hun

but as your duly appointed
director of covert activities

I'd like to see a little
less of the touchy-feely

and a little more of the iron
fist than the velvet glove.

These people respect strength, nothing else.

That's exactly the problem.

We have to get them to think in other terms.

In time.

But for now, you have to get their attention

and prove to them that we're
a power to contend with.

And then you can send them
the roses and the chocolates.

'Look, John..'

...I'm not trying to tell
you how to run your empire.

Hell, I can hardly even organize my socks.

But this alliance of yours
is at a very critical stage.

It's still an infant..

And it's gonna stand or fall
depending on what you do

over the next six months.

Now, sooner or later,
you're gonna have to use force

to make this thing work.

If I were you, I'd be spending my time

contemplating that nasty reality

and let morality take care of itself.

You came all the way out
here just to depress me?

No. I can do that anytime.

I had a couple of ideas
I wanted to run by you.

But you've got enough to think about.

It can wait.

Will it depress me?

Probably.

Merkat?

Merkat..

He is here.

They have come.

He is a ranger.

'He will help us, Merkat.'

'He will take word of our situation'

'to the Alliance at Babylon 5'

and they will come.

They will fight for us

and they will save us.

They must save us.

We have no other hope.

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.

Who are you?

President Clark signed a decree today..

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, you will die.

Why are you here?

Do you have anything worth living for?

I think of my beautiful city in flames.

Like giants in the playground..

Now, get the hell out of our galaxy!

We are here to place
President Clark under arrest.

'And the Abbai delegation
says they will be willing'

'to join the Alliance'

'if they can be guaranteed food shipments'

'during their winter months.'

Apparently, they have had trouble

with the weather, leading to crop shortages.

Why not just sell them
weather-control technology?

We do not sell. We give.

And that doesn't address
their immediate concern.

What about the Pak'ma'ra?

They have an outpost just a
couple of jumps from there.

An agricultural colony.

It produces far more food than they need.

Maybe they can help.

G'Kar..

- Ahem.
- G'Kar?

Hmm? Oh, sorry. I..

I was modifying clause 12 in
the Declaration Of Principles.

I was thinking that if I could make it

more linguistically suitable to the Drazi

they might be open to signing it.

Great maker, I need a drink.

Well, they don't like to say
"we commit" to anything.

They prefer "the universe

through us agrees to."

Make that two drinks.

Somehow, G'Kar, I don't think

a rewrite will solve the problem.

We may be able to get the
Pak'ma'ra on board to help.

But they are going to need
something in exchange.

Oh. Offer them my body.

Another ten minutes of this

I'll be dead anyway.

I second the motion.

- 'G'Kar--'
- Just a moment.

My muse is speaking to me.

Alright, while we're waiting
for G'Kar's muse to finish up

'I believe Mr. Garibaldi'

'has some business he'd
like to put before us.'

'Michael?'

Couple of weeks back,
after they saved your life, Mr. President

you gave a small colony
of telepaths permission

to take up residence here on the station.

At the time, they said they were willing

to work to earn their keep.

I may have a solution.

Go on.

I've been collating the latest
reports from the rangers

and while they're all very
thorough and very considering

they could be better, more complete.

How? They use every available
means of gathering information.

Not every means.

I think I know where this is going.

I want permission to use
some of these telepaths

to gather covert intelligence on our behalf.

Now, there are rules against
that sort of thing, Michael.

Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Psi-Corps rules.

But who in this room supports
the Psi-Corps anyway?

And besides,
the rules apply only to human telepaths.

Minbari telepaths can do whatever they want.

The Centauri have been using military

Teeps for over 300 years.

Every race, except ours and the Narns

use telepaths in some kind of military

or intelligence capability.

And the only reason the Narns don't do it

is because they don't have
any natural-born Teeps.

- No offense.
- None taken.

Now, look, I know you have reservations.

I'm not big on telepaths myself.

I'm not big on guns either.

But if everyone else has them,
I want to make sure

I can get my hands on the biggest one I can.

So why do we wanna handicap ourselves

when everyone else is doing it?

These people are on the run.

We provided them with food, clothing

a-a-a place for meeting
more of their own kind.

Michael, we know there is a crisis coming

between normals and telepaths.

I let them aboard figuring
that we could keep them

in our back pocket until they were needed.

And all I'm saying is, let's move 'em to

the front pocket instead of the back pocket.

Let's put 'em to use now instead
of waiting till the last moment.

If they want to work, I say,
great, here's a chance.

'Alright, look,
this may be a moot point anyway.'

They may say no.

All I want is permission

to have the conversation.

They say no, end of discussion.

They say yes, we can vote on it.

'Call it a fact-finding mission.'

Nothing wrong with facts, is there?

Never met a fact yet I didn't like.

Alright, alright..

I suppose there's no harm in
just having a conversation.

Go on. But don't commit us to anything.

Done. I'll be in touch.

You've misspelled this.

There's no "Y" in liberties.

Oh, go away.

Repress someone else.

As you wish.

I..

Afternoon.

I'm looking for a guy named Byron.

I hear he's kind of in charge around here.

Okay. Let's try this again, shall we?

Now,
I'm here on behalf of President Sheridan.

You know, the guy who lets you live here

and eat here and..

...whatever here.

Anyway..

If you're not gonna cooperate

then I'm gonna have to
tell him that you're just

being downright unfriendly.

Afternoon. My name's Michael Garibaldi--

Yes, it is.

And the answer is "no".

Wait a second.
You didn't hear what I had to say.

Yes, I did. I heard your proposition.

I heard what you thought I
would probably say in response

and I heard the counter
arguments you planned to use.

I know you're having some
discomfort with those shoes

and that lunch is not sitting
well with you just now.

Not big on privacy, are you?

- I did nothing.
- Wait a--

Do you know what a telepath has to do

in order to avoid picking up stray thoughts?

We have to kick down our natural abilities.

Run rhymes and little
songs through our heads.

Round and round.

All that to keep from picking up

what you're broadcasting
loud enough to be heard

halfway down the hall.

You're one of those people

who rehearses everything, Mr. Garibaldi.

You never enter a
situation until you've gone

over it and over it a hundred times.

Worked out what you will say.

What the other person will say.

How you'll respond. It's...quite remarkable.

And extremely depressing.

That little personality quirk

must have cost you more
than a few relationships.

Mundanes want us to fill our
heads with noise and babble

so we won't hear what you're shouting

at the top of your minds.

I didn't need to scan you, Mr. Garibaldi.

And even if I did,
since you were here to ask us

to do the same to others on your behalf..

...you do not exactly
have the moral high ground

to complain, now, do you?

You said you wanted to
work to earn your keep.

We did.

Wedo.

We will work.

We will fix, sell, rent..

...our services.

We will do whatever we must to survive.

But we will no longer
take orders from Mundanes.

Or belong to organizations which take us in

only when it is convenient.

When they need us and when they can use us.

That includes Psi-Corps

and that includes you.

Good day, Mr. Garibaldi.

White Star 90.

Requesting emergency docking.

Medical assistance needed.

'Trauma team to Medlab one.'

- How is he?
- 'Not good.'

'Multiple fractures, lost a lot of blood.'

'I think he's in shock.'

Let's go, people!
Let's move! Let's move now!

'Come on! Bring it in!'

- 'Bring it in.'
- 'Go bring me isolab..'

Listen, you've got to help 'em.

- They're all gonna die.
- I understand.

You got to help them.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

That's it.

Can you do anything for him, Steven?

Anything at all?

I've done everything I can, Delenn.

The ship was shot to hell.

Computer systems down,
long range comm-systems dead.

Life support non-existent.

It's a miracle he got here in one piece.

He's in a deep coma

and the damage is just too severe.

At most, I'd say he has a few hours.

Were you able to find out

why he was coming here?

No. He passed out before
he could say anything.

One thing's for sure, though.

Somebody wanted to stop him

from getting here alive.

If we do not find out

then his death will be meaningless.

And whoever did this will be
allowed to escape justice.

We need a telepath. Quickly.

It won't be admissible in court.

There are higher courts, Stephen.

Surely, we will find justice in one of them.

They must save us.

We have no other hope.

Our world has many resources

other races might find valuable.

We kept this to ourselves

because we do not have the capacity

to defend ourselves from those

who would take them from us.

Ten years ago

the raiders fell upon us.

They came in great ships

and destroyed our cities.

Our fields.

They imprisoned and killed our leaders.

They come twice each year

and take what they want

leaving us with barely

'enough to survive.'

'We cannot beat them.'

'But we have chosen to fight.'

'This time, we have said "no"!'

'We have hidden away everything'

'they would take from us.'

'And their anger has been terrible.'

We wish to join your new alliance.

What others have taken by force

we wish to give freely

to your cause.

In 12 days

they will come by force.

If you come by then to help

then we will live.

If you do not come..

...we will die.

'I'm dying, aren't I?'

Aren't I?

I'm sorry.

The Enfili are a good people.

Decent people.

Don't let them die because I failed.

Let my life..

...and my death

have a meaning.

Heart rate, respiration, zero.

Brain activity, zero.

He's dead.

Did you get it?

'Lyta says they're called Enfili.'

'Their world is located on
the edge of Drazi space.'

'But the Drazi have never
claimed it as a protectorate.'

Never shown much interest
in the outer territories.

So they are on their own

unless we help them out.

Which means getting into a firefight.

Garibaldi was right.

I know. I hate it when he's right.

Yeah.

Well,
have you spoken to Londo or G'Kar about this?

Yes.

They wish this could have
come at a better time

'as if there is ever a good time for this.'

But agree that we must intervene.

The Enfili have asked for
membership in the Alliance.

They have asked for our help.

And now, according to G'Kar's

Declaration Of Principles

we are obligated to provide both.

Oh, I can just hear Londo now.

I imagine you are finding your

principles most inconvenient now. Yes?

He went on for a bit longer.

But that was the sense of it.

Yeah. Well, he's right.

Yes, this is going to be inconvenient.

Yes, I wanted to avoid this for a while.

But we knew we were gonna have
to get into it sooner or later.

We may as well get it over with now.

I just wish I knew

what we were getting into.

Whoever's out there bombing the Enfili

they managed to trash a White Star.

That means..

...superior firepower in
strength or in numbers.

Or both.

Yeah, thanks.

So I have no idea how many White Stars

to send out there to deal with this.

Well..

If you're going to make a point

why not make it so that no one misses it?

Send all of them.

Or at least as many as we can afford.

Dukhat once told me

"If you can create sufficient
fear in your enemies

"you may not have to fight them.

"Always remember that terror

is also a form of communication."

Oh, he taught you well.

Sheridan to C&C.

'C&C. Go.'

Contact the White Star fleet.

Send as many as possible to rendezvous

at a staging area in sector

'500 by nine by 13.'

'Confirmed. What's the mission?'

The new Interstellar Alliance

fresh out of its crib

and before its even learned how to walk

is gonna go find the neighborhood

bully and pick a fight.

Then you are familiar with the Enfili.

Only distantly.

They are on the furthest
edge of our territory.

We have little interest in that area.

Ah, I understand.

Still,
I thought you should know our intentions.

These people have been victimized by raiders

and they deserve every bit of
help that we can give them.

Since this encroaches on Drazi space

I wanted you to know that we were going in

and ask for your help.

Here's the background information.

Of course.

I will speak with my government.

If we can help, we will do so.

Thank you. Thank you.

We'll wait for you at the rendezvous point

for as long as we can.

Hi.

I've been lookin' all over for you.

I've got a job for you.

Why, I'm fine, Mr. Garibaldi.

Thank you so much for asking.

Uh, sorry.

How ya doin'?

I have had a day.

I heard. Delenn told me.

That's why I'm here. I thought that--

Did she tell you I was
inside his mind when he died?

Do you have any idea what that feels like?

Do you have any idea what that does to you?

No, not really.

And do you know why?

Because you're not supposed to know.

No one is supposed to know

except the person who is dying.

When it happens..

When it happens, you see it

as a door opening.

Because there's no other
way for the human mind

to interpret what you're seeing.

You feel the other person slipping away

and for a second, it catches you.

It pulls you in.

And a part of your soul goes with him.

I don't believe in souls.

Call it whatever you want.

But inside, in here..

There's a part of you that goes cold.

Empty.

And after that..

...you're never quite whole again.

I've only been through it twice.

I've seen other telepaths
who've been through it

four or five times.

And you look into their eyes..

...and there's nothing there anymore.

Rumor around Psi-Corps is that's
what happened to Mr. Bester.

Did you know that?

No.

They say he was always
volunteering for deathbed scans.

I guess he wanted to know
what was on the other side.

They say he was there inside someone's mind

when they died, and..

...he went too deep.

'Saw more than anyone should ever see.'

And when the door closed..

...the rest of him..

...maybe the best of him..

...never came back.

So, yeah, I've had a day.

I've had one hell of a day.

And what kind of a job

would you like me to do for you,
Mr. Garibaldi?

I'm putting together a
covert intelligence unit.

I'd like to include a
small group of telepaths.

Since we have a bunch of them
living down in Brown sector..

...I went to see them.

Did they tell you they were tired

of being used by Mundanes?

Yes.

Did they tell you to go to hell?

In so many words.

Well..

Then I don't see a problem.

Nice talking to you, Michael.

Lyta, okay, look,
I know you've had a tough day

and that you're upset, but I need you to get

past that for a second.

Now, all the other races use telepaths

as information-gathering resources.

We need the same if we're gonna compete.

So you want me to talk to them,
one Teep to another?

Well, they'll listen to you.

You're one of their kind.

I'm asking you to do
this as a personal favor.

If not for me, then Sheridan, Delenn.

Lyta..

They believe in this new alliance.

They think they can make a difference,
help people..

Me, I don't know what to believe anymore.

But they're tryin', Lyta.

They're tryin'
so hard and they're gonna need

all the help they can get,
whether they know it or not.

Now, I came back because I figured

they deserve a fighting
chance to make this work.

And I'm gonna give it to them.

You do this for me, and, I swear

I will never ask you
for anything ever again.

Till the next time.

Alright.

'Open.'

John, what are you doing out there?

Oh, I couldn't sleep.

I just kept running it all through my head.

If we're doing the right thing.

I mean, we hardly know these Enfili.

I understand.

What is that?

It looks like the opening of G'Kar's

Declaration Of Principles.

I guess he finished revising it.

Read it to me.

Oh, I'm not nearly as good

a speaker as G'Kar is.

Read it.

"The universe speaks in many languages

"but only one voice.

"The language is not Narn

"or human or Centauri

"or Gaim or Minbari.

"It speaks in the language of hope.

It speaks in the language of trust.

It speaks in the language of strength

and the language of compassion.

It is the language of the heart.

And the language of the soul.

But always it is the same voice.

It is the voice of our ancestors

speaking through us.

And the voice of our inheritors

waiting to be born.

It is the small, still voice that says

"We are one."

No matter the blood, no matter the skin

no matter the world, no matter the star.

We are one.

No matter the pain

no matter the darkness

no matter the loss, no matter the fear.

We are one.

Here, gathered together

in common cause

we agree to recognize

this singular truth

and this singular rule.

That we must be kind to one another.

"Because each voice
enriches us and ennobles us

'"and each voice lost diminishes us.'

'"We are the voice of the universe.'

'"The soul of creation'

"The fire that will light the way

"to a better future.

We are one."

We areone.

You're keeping us out.

You're keeping all of us out.

Why?

I don't let anyone in anymore.

Pity.

- Mr. Garibaldi--
- Yes, I know, he sent you.

You're used to running other
people's errands, aren't you?

I can see it in your eyes..

...your bearing.

Here. Sit.

- No!
- What are you--

It was not phrased as a request, now was it?

It was phrased as an order.

Sit. Stand.

Roll over. Bark.

Always taking orders..

Running errands for other people.

Good little telepath.

Good little lap dog.

Has it occurred to you
that you deserve better?

'Sit.'

Please?

It felt better, didn't it?

To be asked.

To have someone do for you for a change.

That's why we're here.

Because we're tired of being ordered around

by those who cannot hear the song we hear.

Tired of being used as cannon fodder.

As inquisitors.

As executioners and as bloodhounds.

They forget we're human beings, too.

No, not human beings. Better.

That's why they're afraid of us.

It's all ego, you know.

"What a piece of work is man.

"How noble in reason.

"How infinite in faculties.

"In form and moving

"how expressand admirable.

"In action, how like an angel.

"In apprehension

"how like a God.

'"The beauty of the world.'

'"The paragon of animals.'

The paragon of animals."

Six thousand years of brutality

murder, and slavery.

An animal does not do this to its own kind

but they do it to each other.

'And they would do it to us'

'unless we stop them.'

Unless we find a way..

...to help each other.

Unless we care for one another.

Tell me that it matters to you

that I help your friend.

It matters to me.

Then for your sake, I will do it.

Tell your friend

we will find him two among us

who are trained beyond reproach.

They will find for him all
the things that are hidden.

All the things that are dark.

And all the things that are secret.

Thank you.

One more thing.

A first installment on my promise.

I passed the Drazi ambassador shortly

after he finished talking to Sheridan.

He was broadcasting his
thoughts quite loudly.

Tell your friend that the White Stars

they have sent to help the Enfili

are going in to a trap.

In a little while, they will all die.

And all those they sought to
protect will also be dead.

The Drazi were behind the
whole thing from the start.

They gave the raiders guns,
ships, support, equipment

and let them go after all
the independent worlds

at the edge of Drazi space.

In return, the Drazi shared equally

'in whatever they took.'

It's a beautiful little scheme.

The Drazi keep all the
worlds at their borders

beaten down and submissive.

Their economy gets a periodic boost

from the raiders' attacks on the outworlds.

And they get to stay above it all.

"Oh, no, no, the Drazi.

We do not exploit other worlds."

Give me a break, lying sacks of..

What about the White Stars?

Byron's information is sketchy on this part.

But he believes the Drazi are gonna lead

the White Stars into an ambush

guaranteeing no further interference.

Before that happens, though

they're gonna hit the Enfilihomeworld

'and wipe out everything in sight'

as retribution for trying to bring us in.

And kill everybody who might know

or find out they were involved.

Exactly.

Michael, contact the fleet.

Tell them not to wait for the Drazi.

They are to leave the
rendezvous point at once

and head straight for the Enfili homeworld.

And take up defensive positions.

Maximum burn, they have to get there

before the Drazi arrive.

You saved a lot of lives today, Lyta.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Merkat.

Merkat, come.

Come, see.

I thought it was a new star in the skies.

Perhaps a good omen.

But they are not stars.

'Look!'

Sorry to bring you out in
the middle of the night

but we thought you should see this.

Ambassador, good.

You should most definitely
take a look at this.

Here, come on over here.

This is the Enfili homeworld.

They've recently been the subject of attacks

by raiders that have
decimated their homeworld.

'Now they have asked for membership'

in the Alliance and for protection.

We asked the Drazi Government
to support our action

since the Enfili are on
the edge of Drazi space.

- Isn't that right, ambassador?
- Yes, yes.

B-but what are those shapes around Enfili?

Those are White Stars, ambassador.

- How many?
- All of them.

They've taken out the few raiders that were

harassing the population and taken up

defensive positions around their planet.

But they were supposed to
wait at the rendezvous point.

You see,
we had information that there may be

a larger fleet coming to
attack the Enfili homeworld.

The raiders your ships defeated

do you know if they had a chance
to send out a distress signal?

'Oh, no.'

They were shot right out of the sky

with great efficiency.

We have offered your worlds advice

and technology, offered to help you

'coordinate food supplies and resources.'

Now we put another of
our promises into effect.

Your enemy is our enemy.

Isn't that right, ambassador?

Uh, I..

'That's why we wanted you to be here'

in particular, ambassador.

To see our fleet in action.

'Unless you can think of a reason'

'why we shouldn't.'

I..

Is there something wrong, ambassador?

I, uh..

I need to call my government.

We're in the middle of a council meeting.

I'm sure it can wait until later.

Yes,
the battle should be starting very soon now.

No, uh, I, I need to talk to them.

I need to talk to them right now.

Why?

Could it be because those are your ships

coming to attack the Enfili?

Your ships have been
working with the raiders

to exploit and terrorize
those people for ten years?

I, I can't--

Answer the question, ambassador.

Yes, yes, it's true!

Please, you have to let me save them.

We have hundreds of our
people onboard those ships.

And the Enfili have been
dying by the thousands

because of you.

Y-you can't fire on our ships.

We're your allies!

We fought alongside you
during the Shadow War.

- We're on the same side.
- Are we?

Ask them. Let them decide.

Uh, please.

L-let me stop our fleet.

Tell them to turn around.

We will leave the Enfili unharmed.

I-I-I swear to you.

We will never bother them again.

Please..

Alright, there's an open Stellar-Comm link

in the other room.

Go on.

Now, some of you have asked

why you should have to sign

a Declaration Of Principles

before being allowed full membership

in The Alliance.

Well, what you've just seen
fully illustrates the point

far more eloquently than I ever could.

G'Kar?

Here.

I thought you were going to
file those away someplace safe.

In a little while.

I was just trying to..

...savor the moment a little.

We don't do that nearly enough,
I think, sometimes.

If you're celebrating..

...why aren't you smiling more?

I was just thinking.

Both our problems were solved by telepaths.

First, by getting the important information

from the ranger,
and then from the Drazi ambassador.

Mr. Garibaldi was right.

- Again, I-I'm not--
- Ah, Mr. President.

Oh, good, good, good.
I was looking for these.

What are you doing?

Well,
we need to get everyone to sign them again.

- What?
- Well, I--

Do you understand what we went through

to get them signed even once?

I revised it again. It's better.

- G'Kar!
- But look.

- It's better.
- I'll be in touch.

Some days, it's like living in a madhouse.

Where was I?

You were going to call

Mr. Garibaldi and tell him

that you approve of his idea

of working with telepaths.

Right.

Under the circumstances, I don't see

how I can say no.

We've got to watch this, Delenn.

We've got to watch this very closely.

Because we are standing on
the proverbial slippery slope.

And if we're not careful,
there's a big fall out there

that's just waiting to happen.

Excuse us.

What you were saying earlier

about telepaths..

I've decided.

I'd like to hear a little
more about your ideas.

Of course.

This way.

Please?
