Sheridan: IT WAS THE MIDDLE
OF THE EARTH YEAR 2261.

THE YEAR BETWEEN WARS

AND THE BEGINNING
OF A NEW AGE.

THE SHADOW WAR WAS OVER,

BUT THERE WAS STILL
A DARKNESS

WAITING
FOR US AT HOME.

PRESIDENT SANTIAGO
HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED,

AND HIS SUCCESSOR
PRESIDENT CLARK

WAS TURNING EARTH
INTO A PRISON CAMP.

WE'D BROKEN AWAY
FROM EARTH,

AND IN RETALIATION,
THEY QUARANTINED US,

TRYING TO STRANGLE
OUR SUPPLY LINES.

WE WERE DESPERATE,

AND WE COULDN'T
AFFORD TO LOSE

EVEN A SINGLE
SUPPLY SHIP.

IN THE MIDST
OF ALL OF THIS,

WE MADE CONTACT
WITH THIRDSPACE,

AND WE ALMOST
DIDN'T SURVIVE IT.

I ONLY HOPE WE NEVER
COME ACROSS IT AGAIN

BECAUSE NEXT TIME,

NO ONE'S GOING
TO SURVIVE IT.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

Ivanova: DELTA 7, THEY'RE
COMING IN BEHIND YOU!

WATCH YOUR 12.
WATCH YOUR 12.

FORM UP. KEEP THEM AWAY
FROM THE TRANSPORT.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LET THEM
GET THEIR HANDS ON IT.

Delta 7: ROGER THAT,
GROUP LEADER.

DELTAS 2 AND 9, I'M GOING TO
LAY DOWN SUPPRESSING FIRE.

COVER ME.

RIGHT
BEHIND YOU.

STAND BY.

STAND BY...
BREAK, FOX 2!

COMMANDER IVANOVA
TO RAIDING PARTY.

WE'RE TOO EVENLY MATCHED.
YOU CAN'T WIN.

I SUGGEST THAT
YOU SURRENDER OR WITHDRAW

BEFORE YOU'RE DESTROYED.

NOT A CHANCE.

WE KNOW
THERE'S QUANTIUM 40

ABOARD THAT SHIP.

THAT STUFF'S
GOING FOR

MILLIONS
OF CREDITS AN OUNCE,

AND WE'RE NOT
LEAVING HERE

WITHOUT IT.

TOUGH. YOU'RE
NOT GETTING IT.

WE COULD
MAKE A DEAL...

GIVE YOU A PIECE
OF THE ACTION.

FORGET IT. LOOK,

THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE COMING
OUT OF THIS A WINNER.

AT BEST, IT'S A STANDOFF.

YOU MEAN IT
WAS A STANDOFF.

NOW, ABOUT THAT
SURRENDER...

THAT'S FUNNY.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO
SAY THE SAME THING.

Sheridan: THIS IS
THE WHITE STAR FLEET

TO RAIDING PARTY.

WE'VE JUST CUT OFF
YOUR MEANS OF ESCAPE,

AND THE NEAREST JUMPGATE
IS SEVERAL HOURS FROM HERE.

YOU'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO,

AND WE HAVE LOCKED
OUR WEAPONS ONTO YOUR SHIPS.

SURRENDER AND PREPARE
TO BE BOARDED.

I WON'T ASK AGAIN.

WE HEAR YOU.

STANDING DOWN.

A WISE MOVE.

COMMANDER IVANOVA,

SINCE THIS PARTICULAR
MOUSETRAP WAS YOUR IDEA,

YOU GET TO GO HOME

WHILE WE ESCORT
THESE GENTLEMEN

TO THE PENAL COLONY
IN THE DRAZI FREEHOLD.

ARE YOU SURE
I CAN'T GO WITH YOU?

I WANT TO SEE THEIR FACES

WHEN THEY GET A SNIFF
OF DRAZI COOKING.

NEGATIVE, COMMANDER.

OH, AND, UM...

MAKE SURE EVERYONE
HEARS ABOUT THIS.

IF WE CAN MAKE
THE RAIDERS WORRY...

THAT EVERY VALUABLE CARGO
MIGHT BE ANOTHER MOUSETRAP,

IT'LL HELP DISCOURAGE THEM

FROM HITTING MORE SHIPS
BOUND FOR BABYLON 5.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WITH THIS EMBARGO
AGAINST THE STATION,

WE NEED EVERY SUPPLY SHIP
WE CAN GET.

SO, BASICALLY, I SHOULD
JUST TAKE MY CHEESE

AND GO HOME. IS THAT IT?

THAT'S AFFIRMATIVE.

LOOK, YOU GOT THEM TO RISK
EXPOSING THAT BATTLE WAGON

THEY'VE BEEN USING
AS A BASE,

SO YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO A LITTLE REST.

WILL DO. SEE YOU
BACK AT THE BARN.

LET'S GO, DELTA SQUADRON.

WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY
TO THE NEAREST JUMPGATE.

MAXIMUM BURN!

SORRY I'M LATE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
IT'S, UH...

IT'S
PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT.

I'VE WAITED A
LONG TIME FOR THIS.

I CAN WAIT
A FEW MORE MINUTES.

OH, SO NOW HE'S PATIENT.

20 YEARS AGO
YOU WEREN'T SO PATIENT.

20 YEARS AGO
I HAD 20 YEARS.

NOW I GOT
FELMAR'S SYNDROME,

I'M 65 YEARS OLD,

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH TIME I'VE GOT.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET
SOME SATISFACTION

BEFORE I DIE.

UH, MR. ROSEN--

ALEX. PLEASE
CALL ME ALEX.

HIM, YOU SHOULD CALL
MR. ROSEN.

A VERY UNFRIENDLY MAN
ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM.

ALEX, YOUR BROTHER
TELLS ME

THAT YOU HAVE AGREED
TO A TELEPATHIC SCAN,

BUT I STILL NEED YOU
TO CONFIRM THIS.

FINE, FINE. I CONFIRM.

I'M ONLY DOING THIS
BECAUSE HE'S SICK...

SUPPOSEDLY SICK.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE
A VERY SICK MAN TO ME.

UH, YOU, HOWEVER,
DON'T LOOK SO WELL.

ARE YOU OK?

I'M FINE.

FINE. JUST A...
A HEADACHE.

I SYMPATHIZE.
WHATEVER HE'S PAYING YOU,

IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION,

THIS WON'T BE A DEEP SCAN.

I'LL BE LOOKING
AT SURFACE THOUGHTS ONLY.

YOU WILL ANSWER YES OR NO
TO THE QUESTIONS,

AND I WILL DETERMINE

WHETHER YOU'RE TELLING
THE TRUTH OR NOT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

QUESTIONS? NO, NO,
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.

LEO, HE GOT ALL
THE QUESTIONS.

GO AHEAD,
LEO, ASK, ASK.

YEAH, WELL,
I'VE BEEN WAITING

A LONG
TIME FOR THIS.

NOW WE'RE
FINALLY GOING TO

GET TO THE TRUTH...

[ECHOING]
...WAITING, WAITING

ALL THIS TIME...

20 YEARS.
20 YEARS AGO,

I SAID YOU WERE
HAVING AN AFFAIR--

NO, NO. I KNOW

YOU WERE HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH MY WIFE!

HE WAS ALWAYS CRAZY JEALOUS,
WOULDN'T LISTEN TO REASON.

WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO
EACH OTHER IN ALMOST 2 DECADES.

NOT THAT THAT'S
A BAD THING, MIND YOU.

HE DENIED THE WHOLE
THING, YOU SEE,

SO IT MADE ME
LOOK LIKE A FOOL,

SO SHEILA LEFT ME,

THE WHOLE FAMILY
SIDED WITH HIM...

ALEX, YOU AND I
KNOW THE TRUTH.

I HAVEN'T GOT LONG
LEFT, SO LET'S...

LET EVERYBODY
KNOW THE TRUTH.

I WANT TO GET
SOME SATISFACTION.

WERE YOU HAVING AN
AFFAIR WITH MY WIFE?

THIS WON'T HURT,
WILL IT?

YOU WON'T FEEL A THING.

GOOD, BECAUSE I HAD
THIS TOOTH REMOVED

A FEW WEEKS AGO,

AND THEY SAID THE SAME
THING, AND IT HURT A LOT.

WERE YOU HAVING AN
AFFAIR WITH MY WIFE?

NO, NO, NO!

I WAS NOT HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH SHEILA.

WELL, IS HE
TELLING THE TRUTH?

YES, HE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.

I'M SORRY.
WHAT--WHAT?

SHE SAID I'M
TELLING THE TRUTH.

WHAT PART OF THAT SENTENCE
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

MAY-MAY-MAYBE--

YEAH, YOU MISSED
SOMETHING MAYBE.

UH, IT'S PROBABLY
DARK IN THERE, SO--

I-IT'S NOT NECESSARY--

YOU KNOW, I THINK--
I THINK, MAYBE,

YOU KNOW, ALEX
IS SO GUILTY

ABOUT
WHAT HE DID TO ME

THAT HE'S BLANKED IT
ALL OUT

LIKE
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

I AM TRAINED TO SEPARATE

FALSE MEMORIES
FROM REAL ONES.

NOW, UH...

LOOK, I'M SORRY,
BUT I HAVE TO GO.

I'M...REALLY
NOT FEELING WELL.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

HAVE A NICE LIE-DOWN,

A CUP OF TEA,
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME, MS. ALEXANDER.

YOU ARE A LOVELY
YOUNG WOMAN,

AND IF I WAS
30 YEARS YOUNGER,

AND YOU WERE A LITTLE BLIND
IN ONE EYE,

WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE
WE COULD HAVE TOGETHER.

I'LL NEED THE BALANCE
OF MY...FEE

DEPOSITED BY MORNING.

20 YEARS.
HOW COULD I--

I HAVE
BEEN SO STUPID?

SORRY.

Delta 7, echoing:
I'M PICKING SOMETHING UP...

Ivanova: SAY AGAIN, DELTA 7.
YOU'RE BREAKING UP.

I'M GETTING A READING

ON THE LONG-RANGE
SCANNERS.

IT'S WAY OFF THE BEACON.

TRANSFERRING DATA
TO YOUR SYSTEM.

WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S HUGE.

DELTA SQUADRON
TO BABYLON 5.

DO YOU COPY,
BABYLON CONTROL?

CONFIRM, DELTA SQUADRON.
THIS IS BABYLON CONTROL.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY REPORTS

OF MISSING SHIPS
IN THIS AREA?

NEGATIVE, DELTA ONE.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I'M NOT SURE. IT'S ALMOST
AS BIG AS AN EXPLORER SHIP.

IT'S AT LEAST, UH,
HALF A MILE ACROSS.

IT'S WELL OFF
THE JUMP BEACONS.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED

OR LOST POWER AND BEEN
PULLED OFF-COURSE

BY THE HYPERSPACE TIDES.

CAN YOU LEAVE A MARKER?

WE'LL SEND
AN INVESTIGATING TEAM.

NEGATIVE. IT'S MOVING IN
A DIAGONAL TO THE BEACON.

IF WE LEAVE IT NOW,
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE

TO FIND IT AGAIN.

WE'LL GO AND INVESTIGATE IT,
AND WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

DELTA LEADER OUT.

ARE YOU THERE, DELTA 7?

RIGHT HERE,
DELTA LEADER.

WE'RE GOING AFTER IT.
WE'LL DETERMINE WHAT IT IS

AND SEE IF IT'S SAFE TO
CALL IT A RESCUE OPERATION.

WE'LL FORM A RELAY
FROM THE HOMING BEACON

TO AVOID GETTING LOST
IN HYPERSPACE.

ROGER THAT,
DELTA LEADER.

DELTA 6,
YOU'RE THE ANCHOR.

YOU HOLD HERE SO WE CAN
LINK TO YOUR SIGNAL

AND EXTEND OUT TOWARD THE TARGET
LIKE A STRING OF PEARLS.

DON'T STRAY TOO FAR
OR YOU'LL LOSE CONTACT

AND GET LOST IN
THE GRAVITATIONAL EDDIES.

THEN WE'LL HAVE 2 RESCUE
MISSIONS TO WORRY ABOUT.

AND BE CAREFUL.
ONLY A MORON

WOULD GO THIS FAR
OFF THE BEACON ON PURPOSE.

BUT THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
IT COULD BE A TRAP.

DISTANCE TO TARGET?

ESTIMATE
3,000 KILOMETERS.

DISTANCE
TO RELAY SHIP,

1,000 KILOMETERS.

DELTA 9, TAKE RELAY POSITION
AND MAINTAIN.

Delta 9: ROGER THAT,
DELTA LEADER.

THE BOUNCE-BACK SIGNAL'S
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

WHATEVER'S OUT THERE

DOESN'T MATCH ANY
KNOWN SILHOUETTE.

POSSIBLE FIRST-CONTACT
SITUATION?

MAYBE.

WHATEVER IT IS,
IT ISN'T UNDERPOWERED.

IT'S DEFINITELY
EITHER DEAD OR ABANDONED.

DAMN, THAT THING'S BIG!

DELTA 4 TAKING
RELAY POSITION AND HOLDING.

ACKNOWLEDGE, DELTA 4.

WE'RE ALMOST
TO TARGET.

SHOULD HAVE IT ON
VISUAL ANY TIME NOW.

ALL RIGHT, STAY CLOSE
AND GO WEAPONS HOT,

BUT NOBODY FIRES
WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

KEEP SCANNING.

STILL NOTHING.

WE SHOULD BE
ON TOP OF IT BY NOW.

OH, HELL...

DELTA LEADER
TO BABYLON CONTROL.

C&C ON LINE.

WE'RE GOING TO LAUNCH
A SALVAGE OPERATION.

WE'LL NEED AT LEAST 5
WHITE STARS AND SOME STARFURIES.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE ARMED
AND RUNNING WEAPONS HOT.

THIS THING
COULD BE DANGEROUS.

CONFIRMED. HOW MANY
STARFURIES DO YOU WANT?

ALL OF THEM.

ANY WORD
FROM IVANOVA?

SHE'S ABOUT TO COME
THROUGH THE GATE.

THOUGHT SHE'D
BE HERE BY NOW.

WELL, WE'RE HAVING TO MOVE
THE STRUTS OF THE JUMPGATE

FAR ENOUGH APART TO ALLOW
THE ARTIFACT TO GET THROUGH.

IT'S THAT BIG?

BIGGER.

C&C: OPTIMUM DISTANCE
ACHIEVED.

YOU'RE CLEAR FOR JUMP,
COMMANDER.

ROGER THAT, C&C.
WE'RE COMING IN.

[LOW GROWLING]

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

THAT THIS IS A BIT
AWKWARD FOR ME,

BUT WITH LONDO BACK HOME,

THINGS KIND
OF FALL ONTO ME.

AND BESIDES,
WITH FINANCIAL MATTERS,

THE LEAGUE EXPECTS
THE CENTAURI

TO SPEAK
ON THEIR BEHALF.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
VIR, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

NOW, WHAT IS IT?

WELL, THE...ARTIFACT

THAT YOU BROUGHT BACK
FROM HYPERSPACE,

THE OTHERS WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW...

WHAT IT IS.

WELL, THEN WE HAVE
SOMETHING IN COMMON.

WE'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT
FOR OURSELVES.

BUT IT'S GOING
TO TAKE A WHILE

TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

ALL WE DO KNOW IS
THAT IT'S VERY OLD,

AND WHAT IT IS
AND WHAT IT DOES,

YOUR GUESS
IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,
CAN THEY TAKE PART

IN EXAMINING THE ARTIFACT?

UH, NOT AT
THIS TIME, NO.

UH, VIR,

WE UNDERSTAND
THEIR INTEREST.

THE RACE THAT
CREATED THIS ARTIFACT

MUST'VE BEEN
EXTREMELY ADVANCED.

THERE MAY BE
SOME VALUABLE

TECHNOLOGY INSIDE,

BUT...IF EVERYONE
STARTS PULLING

AT IT AT ONCE,

NOTHING
WILL GET DONE.

DELENN AND I DISCUSSED
THIS EARLIER,

AND WE BOTH AGREED
THAT ANYTHING WE FIND

WILL BE SHARED WITH
EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE

OF NON-ALIGNED WORLDS.

THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD

BECAUSE YOU TRUST HER,
AND SHE TRUSTS YOU,

AND I TRUST BOTH OF YOU,

THAT'S THE SORT I AM.
I'M THE TRUSTING KIND,

YOU KNOW,
EVER SINCE I WAS...

ANYWAY,

THE OTHERS...

THEY DON'T TRUST ANYONE,

ESPECIALLY WHEN
IT COMES TO MONEY.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO SPEAK TO THEM?

NO, NO, NO. IT'S NOT
THE SPEAKING THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

IT'S...IT'S THE LISTENING.

STILL, UH...

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

OH, PERHAPS
VIR IS RIGHT.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH
WE REASSURE THEM,

THE OTHER RACES ARE
ALWAYS GOING TO THINK

WE ARE HOLDING
SOMETHING BACK.

I KNOW.

WE CAN'T TAKE THAT CHANCE.

YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I DO THAT...

THEY'LL BE
GRABBING STUFF

AS SOON
AS THEY GET THERE,

AND IF IT LOOKS
LIKE SOMEONE

IS GOING TO GET
A...NEW WEAPON

BEFORE THEY CAN,

THEY'LL SABOTAGE IT.
THEY'LL BLOW IT UP.

NO. NO, THERE'S
NO OTHER WAY.

THEY MAY HAVE RESOURCES
THAT COULD BE USEFUL.

BABYLON 5 IS A DIPLOMATIC
STATION, A FREEPORT,

NOT A RESEARCH FACILITY.

WE HAVE NO ARCHEOLOGISTS,

NO EXPERTS IN
ALIEN TECHNOLOGY.

I KNOW. SO IT'LL TAKE US
A LITTLE LONGER.

THAT'S ALL.

BUT WE'LL GET THERE.

MAY I ASSUME...

THAT THIS HAS
NOTHING TO DO

WITH YOU WANTING TO BE
THE FIRST TO UNLOCK

WHATEVER SECRETS
THIS THING BRINGS WITH IT?

ME?

AND WHEN HAVE YOU
EVER KNOWN ME

TO HAVE
A PERSONAL AGENDA?

JOHN,

WHENEVER SOMETHING COMES
INTO OUR PROXIMITY

THAT HAS TO DO
WITH THE UNKNOWN,

YOUR EYES LIGHT UP
LIKE 2 TINY SUNS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT WORDS

THESE 2 TINY LIGHTS
SPELL OUT?

WHAT?

MINE.

MINE, MINE, MINE,

MINE, MINE! OH, NOW,
THAT IS A LIE.

MINBARI DO NOT LIE.

WELL, THEN
IT IS SLANDER.

TO BE SLANDER,
IT MUST BE FALSE.

THAT'S 2 DOWN.

WELL, THEN,
IT'S--IT'S...

DAMNED
INCONVENIENT.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS IS.

[BEEP BEEP]

BESIDES...

IT IS MINE.

Zack: INVESTIGATION TEAM,
THIS IS SECURITY.

I'M MAKING OUT SIGNS
OF WEAPON FIRE

ON THE OUTSIDE OF THIS...

WHATEVER IT IS.

SUGGEST YOU PROCEED
WITH CAUTION.

PLACE COULD BE RIGGED
WITH BOOBY TRAPS, BOMBS,

OTHER DEFENSE SYSTEMS,
ANYTHING.

UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS
AND WHERE IT CAME FROM,

WE HAVE TO DEFINITELY
CONSIDER IT A POTENTIAL THREAT

TO STATION SECURITY.

TEAM ONE TO SECURITY.
WE'LL BE CAREFUL.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, THOUGH.

YEAH, IT IS THAT.

BUT SO IS A COBRA.

SO BE DAMNED CAREFUL.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY
TO GET BIT.

UNDERSTOOD.

OK, EVERYBODY, MOVE TO
PRESCRIBED SAFE DISTANCE.

SENDING IN A MAINTBOT
TO TAKE A SURFACE SAMPLE.

STAND BY.
WE GOT A PROBLEM.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
TALK TO ME.

REGISTERING A 15% DROP
IN THE 'BOT'S POWER SUPPLY.

20%...

50.

ALL RIGHT, MOVE IT AWAY.
PULL IT BACK.

NOT RESPONDING.

80%...

IT'S DEAD.

Technician:
WE STILL DON'T HAVE

A LOT TO GO ON,

BUT IT LOOKS
AS IF THE DEVICE

DRAINED EVERY LAST
MILLIWATT OF POWER

FROM THE 'BOT.

WE CAN'T EVEN
RECHARGE IT.

WE'VE TRIED 3 TIMES,

AND THE CHARGE
DOESN'T STICK.

SO WHY DIDN'T IT
AFFECT OUR STARFURIES

WHEN WE PULLED IT IN
OUT OF HYPERSPACE?

I DON'T KNOW.
MY GUESS IS

THAT IT HAS TO DO

WITH THE PROXIMITY
OF THE POWER SOURCE.

YOU WERE ABLE TO FIRE
GRAPPLES

AT THE DEVICE
FROM A SAFE DISTANCE.

THE 'BOT AND ITS POWER SOURCE
WERE WITHIN JUST A FEW FEET.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE
FINISH THE REST OF OUR TESTS.

WELL, THE POWER DRAIN
SEEMS TO BE SHORT-RANGE,

SO IF WE'RE LUCKY...

IT WON'T CONSTITUTE
A HAZARD TO NAVIGATION.

WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE
SURE TO KEEP A DISTANCE...

OR COME UP WITH
SOME KIND OF SHIELDING.

BUT THAT'LL MAKE IT
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE

TO DO A PROPER ANALYSIS.

[BEEP BEEP]

SHERIDAN. GO.

C&C: CAPTAIN, WE'VE
GOT A SHIP FROM IPX

COMING IN
THROUGH THE GATE.

INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS?
THAT WAS FAST.

WELL, I FIGURED
THEY'D HEAR ABOUT IT

PRETTY QUICK.

THEY GOT SOURCES
EVERYWHERE.

DID ANYONE TELL THEM
WE'RE NOT HAVING

ANYTHING TO DO
WITH EARTH ANYMORE?

CONFIRMED. BUT ONE
OF THE PASSENGERS

IS STILL ASKING
TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

MY OFFICE,
20 MINUTES.

WELL, IF
YOU'LL EXCUSE ME...

I THINK I HAVE
SOME OLD-FASHIONED

HORSE-TRADING TO DO.

WELL, THE VULTURES
ARE STARTING TO CIRCLE.

I THOUGHT THE VULTURES
ONLY CIRCLED

AFTER YOU WERE DEAD.

MAYBE THEY KNOW
SOMETHING WE DON'T.

YEAH...

[WHISPERING]

DANGER...

REMEMBER...

THERE...IS...DANGER...

THERE...

IS...

DANGER...

REMEMBER...

THERE...IS...DANGER.

REMEMBER.

AH, CAPTAIN.

DR. ELIZABETH TRENT,

FIELD COORDINATOR FOR
INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS.

IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S
CERTAINLY A SURPRISE

TO MEET YOU.

IN CASE
YOU HADN'T HEARD,

WE'RE ON
PRESIDENT CLARK'S

QUARANTINE LIST.

NO SHIP FROM EARTH

IS ALLOWED TO DOCK
AT BABYLON 5.

WE'RE AWARE
OF THE EMBARGO,

BUT IPX IS A...
IT'S A SPECIAL CASE.

MAY WE?

SURE. MAKE
YOURSELF AT HOME.

LET ME GET RIGHT
TO THE POINT, CAPTAIN.

I EXPECT
NOTHING LESS.

WE'D LIKE ACCESS

TO THE ALIEN ARTIFACT
PARKED OUTSIDE.

WELL, I'LL CERTAINLY
TAKE YOUR REQUEST

UNDER CONSIDERATION.

THAT'S BUREAUCRATESE
FOR TAKE A HIKE.

IT IS INDEED.

CAPTAIN,

YOU'RE NOT SET UP
TO INVESTIGATE

A FIND LIKE THIS.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE,
YOU DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT,

YOU DON'T HAVE
THE TRAINING...

NOW, YOU COULD POKE AROUND

LIKE A PACK OF ABORIGINES
PLAYING WITH A STARFURY,

AND MAYBE YOU MIGHT
FIND SOMETHING USEFUL

BY SHEER ACCIDENT...

BUT MAYBE YOU'LL PUSH
THE WRONG BUTTON,

BLOW YOURSELF UP.

I KNOW.

EXCITING, ISN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WELL, FIRST,
SOME INFORMATION.

WHY AREN'T YOU
OR YOUR PEOPLE

AFRAID OF...
RETRIBUTION

FOR BREAKING
THE EMBARGO?

WELL, IPX IS
A MULTIPLANETARY CORPORATION.

WE HAVE AGREEMENTS

WITH OVER HALF A DOZEN
ALIEN GOVERNMENTS

ALLOWING US MOVEMENT
ACROSS THEIR BORDERS

WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS.

WE CAN EXPLORE ANY WORLD

PROVIDED WE GUARANTEE ACCESS
TO WHATEVER WE FIND.

YOU SEE, THERE'S POLITICS,

AND THERE'S BUSINESS.

THIS IS BUSINESS.

YOUR PROBLEMS HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH US.

YOU CAN COME
AND GO AS YOU WANT?

THAT'S CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT.

THEN HERE'S
THE DEAL.

I'LL GIVE YOU ACCESS
TO THE ARTIFACT.

YOU WILL WORK WITH
MY PEOPLE AT ALL TIMES.

YOU WILL GIVE US FULL
ACCESS TO YOUR DATA

AT EVERY STEP
ALONG THE WAY.

WE HAVE FIRST CALL
ON ANYTHING YOU FIND.

NOW, IF THE TECHNOLOGY
BEHIND THAT THING

CAN BE USED BY EARTH

AGAINST
THE OTHER RACES...

THAT INFORMATION
NEVER LEAVES HERE.

CAPTAIN, I--

YOU TRY,
WE'LL DESTROY IT.

YOU WOULDN'T.

THAT'S THE FIND
OF A LIFETIME.

IT'S SCRAP METAL,
GUARANTEED.

I WILL PULL THE TRIGGER
MYSELF IF I HAVE TO.

SECOND...

THERE'S MORE?

THANKS TO THE BLOCKADE,
WE ARE RUNNING SHORT

OF SUPPLIES
AROUND HERE.

SPARE PARTS, CERTAIN
FOODS WE CAN'T GROW...

AND YOU WANT US
TO BREAK THE BLOCKADE

AND BRING YOU WHATEVER
SUPPLIES YOU NEED.

WELL, IF YOU'RE
GOING TO WORK HERE,

YOU MAY AS WELL
BRING LUNCH.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO MAKE SURE

YOU BRING ENOUGH
FOR EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.

SEE, WE STILL HAVE TO DECIDE
IF WHAT'S OUT THERE

IS WORTH
ALL THESE CONDITIONS.

[BEEP BEEP]

SHERIDAN.

Ivanova: CAPTAIN, THEY JUST
FINISHED GOING OVER

THE SAMPLE WE TOOK
FROM THE ALIEN ARTIFACT.

THE CARBON DATING
INDICATES

THAT WHATEVER
THAT THING IS...

IT'S OVER
A MILLION YEARS OLD.

STILL THINKING
ABOUT IT, DOC?

HAVE YOUR PEOPLE
STAND BY, CAPTAIN.

WE HAVE A DEAL.

[MANY TALKING]

HEY, HEY, HEY! HEY, YOU,
D-DON'T PUT THAT--

[PLUNK]

THERE. NEVER MIND.
OK. FORGET IT.

LOOK, EXCUSE ME,
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT

IF YOU KEEP
THIS WHOLE AREA CLEARED.

THERE'S EXPLOSIVES--UH...

THANK YOU.

YOU SHOULD SEE
YOUR FACE.

WELL, THIS IS--
THIS IS JUST--

THIS IS HORRIFIC.

I MEAN,
LOOK AT THIS!

YOU KNOW,
BACK HOME ON EARTH,

ALONG THE AMAZON
IN SOUTH AMERICA,

THEY'VE GOT THESE ARMY ANTS.

THEY SWEEP ACROSS
THE FOREST

IN A CARPET
5 INCHES THICK.

MILLIONS OF THEM.

I MEAN, THEY'RE NO MORE
THAN AN INCH LONG,

BUT THEY CAN DEVASTATE
AN ENTIRE FOREST

IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

I WONDER IF THEY KNOW
THEY'VE GOT COUSINS

THIS FAR OUT IN SPACE?

YOU THINK
ANYBODY WOULD NOTICE

IF I JUST...

KILLED
A FEW OF THEM?

WELL...

HOW MANY?

I DON'T KNOW. UH...

10?

OH, YEAH,
THEY'D NOTICE IT.

6?

GO FOR IT.

Trent: COMMANDER?

DR. ELIZABETH TRENT,
IPX.

I ASSUME
CAPTAIN SHERIDAN'S

BRIEFED YOU
ON OUR MISSION.

OH, YES. UH...ACTUALLY,
THIS IS MY STATION, DOCTOR.

ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS
AROUND HERE, I KNOW ABOUT IT.

THIS IS
DR. STEPHEN FRANKLIN.

YOU'LL BE COORDINATING
WITH HIM

ON ANY ORGANIC FINDINGS.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
DOCTOR.

I THINK WE SHOULD
GET TOGETHER

FOR
A FEW MINUTES NOW,

KIND OF...
DISCUSS HOW WE WANT

TO SPLIT UP WORK

BEFORE THINGS
GET CRAZY.

BEFORE THINGS
GET CRAZY. I SEE.

AND--AND WHAT EXACTLY
WOULD YOU CALL THIS?

SCIENCE.

DR. TRENT...

COULD YOU TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS, PLEASE?

EXCUSE ME.

SURE.

MAYBE IF I JUST
KILLED ONE OF THEM,

THAT WOULD...DO ME.

HMM. WELL,
IN THAT CASE,

I THINK
I SHOULD BE ELSEWHERE.

Man: WATCH OUT!

[CRASH]

THAT'S IT.

I'M GOING TO GO
GET SOME SLEEP.

AH, LYTA.

A LONG DAY.

SEEMS LIKE THEY JUST

KEEP GETTING LONGER
EVERY DAY.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE HAD ONE
OF THOSE DAYS YOURSELF.

YEAH, WELL, BELIEVE ME,
I UNDERSTAND.

ONE DAMN THING
AFTER ANOTHER.

LISTEN, LYTA, UH...

THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANTED TO...

Computer: WARNING,
POWER FAILURE.

THERE YOU GO.

SECURITY TO C&C.

C&C: ON LINE.

YEAH. WE GOT A POWER FAILURE
IN TUBE 9.

WHAT'S THE STORY?

WE'VE BEEN HAVING
POWER FLUCTUATIONS

FOR THE LAST COUPLE
OF HOURS.

WE'LL GET IT
BACK ON ASAP.

IT'LL JUST
BE A MINUTE.

[BEEP BEEP]

"IT'LL JUST BE A MINUTE."

WELL, AS LONG AS WE'RE
NOT GOING ANYWHERE,

I WANTED TO,
UH...YOU KNOW...

AHEM, I WANTED
TO ASK YOU, UH...

DO YOU WANT TO
GO OUT SOMETIME?

I DON'T KNOW,
GET SOME DINNER,

MAYBE CATCH A VID?

BOTTOM LINE IS...

I LIKE YOU.

I'VE LIKED YOU
EVER SINCE YOU GOT HERE...

AND I KNOW THAT THINGS

HAVE BEEN TOUGH
ON YOU LATELY, AND...

AND I KNOW...

I KNOW
I COULD DO RIGHT BY YOU.

AH, I'M NOT THE CAPTAIN.

I DON'T BRING DOWN
THE BIG BUCKS,

AND I'M NOTHING
TO WRITE HOME ABOUT,

AND I KNOW THERE'S
A BIG GAP BETWEEN US,

AND THE KIND OF
LIFE THAT YOU LEAD

THAT MAYBE I COULD NEVER
UNDERSTAND--

WELL, MAYBE
I COULD UNDERSTAND IT.

WELL....

MAYBE I COULD TRY.

YOU'RE THE KIND
OF PERSON...

MAKES A GUY WANT TO TRY.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU...

[WHISPERING] frankly...

I'M NUTS ABOUT.

SO, UH...

AHEM. I THINK
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF...

YOU KNOW, MAYBE
I COULD SEE YOU

ONCE IN A WHILE.

HEY, LISTEN, YOU KNOW,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER NOW.

YOU KNOW, TAKE YOUR TIME.
THINK ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE.

NOT TO IMPLY THAT YOU
HAVE TO HAVE AN ANSWER,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T.

YOU DON'T OWE ME ONE,
THAT'S FOR SURE.

I THINK, UH...

I THINK THAT
I COULD CARE FOR YOU.

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

AND I GUESS I JUST
WANNA DO FOR YOU.

UH...

OH...I'M SORRY.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
SAID ANYTHING.

I DIDN'T MEAN
TO OFFEND YOU.

UH...THIS WAS PROBABLY
THE WRONG TIME.

BOTH HAD A HARD DAY.

WE'VE GOTTA WORK TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES.

IT'S JUST, UH...

AWKWARD.

SO MAYBE, EH,
YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE IT'S BEST
THAT WE DON'T.

Computer: POWER RESTORED.

WELL...LOOKS LIKE
THEY FIXED IT.

NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHERE I'M GOING.

MY BRAIN JUMPED THE TRACK.
IT DOES THAT.

LOOK, TELL YOU WHAT.
L-LIKE I SAID...

I'M SORRY.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
SAID ANYTHING.

SO...LET'S JUST PRETEND
THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN.

THIS WAY...YOU WON'T
BE EMBARRASSED,

I WON'T BE EMBARRASSED,

AND I PROMISE I'LL NEVER
BRING IT UP AGAIN.

UNLESS YOU
BRING IT UP FIRST.

WELL, I GUESS THIS IS
WHERE I GET OFF.

LOOK, I HOPE I WASN'T
TOO FAR OUT OF LINE, LYTA.

I HOPE...

GOOD NIGHT, LYTA.

WELL, MAYBE IT WAS
FOR THE BEST.

3 DATES, I PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE MARRIED HER.

Builder on radio:
HOW'S THAT BEAM COMING?

MOVING INTO POSITION.

BETTER CHECK
THOSE STRUTS.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE READY
TO HOLD THIS THING.

I DON'T WANNA
MESS WITH THIS TWICE.

ROGER THAT. STAND BY.

HEY, CONTROL...

WHAT'S WITH THE 'BOTS?

WHAT ABOUT THEM?

YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT?

MAYDAY! MAYDAY, C&C!
THEY'RE ON A COLLISION COURSE!

I REPEAT, THEY'RE GOING
TO RAM THE ARTIFACT!

C&C...WE CAN'T
OVERRIDE THE 'BOTS.

YOU'VE GOTTA STOP THEM.

Radio: WE'VE GOT IT.
STAY CLEAR.

Fighter pilot:
TAKE 'EM OUT!

Pilot: ALPHA SQUADRON
TO C&C.

TARGETS DESTROYED.

YOU BETTER GET SOMEONE
DOWN TO MAINTENANCE,

FIND OUT WHAT
THE HELL HAPPENED.

MILLER, JANKOWSKI,

HANG BACK, SEAL OFF
THIS SECTION.

THE REST OF YOU,
WITH ME.

Guard: AYE, CHIEF.

Guard: I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

IS HE ALIVE?

HE'S OK. JASON,

GET A MED TEAM UP HERE
JUST TO MAKE SURE.

Jason: MEDLAB, WE NEED
A MED TEAM IN MAINTENANCE.

Computer: SECURITY
OVERRIDE NONFUNCTIONAL.

TAKE IT DOWN.

LIGHTS.

LYTA?

WE HA-HAVE TO STOP IT.

WE HAVE TO...

STOP IT.

WHERE'S THAT MED TEAM?!

Franklin: AND YOU CAN'T
REMEMBER ANYTHING

SINCE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON?

NO...NOTHING.

WELL, HOW DID YOU
GET INTO

THE MAIN 'BOT
CONTROL ROOM?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, WHAT WERE
YOU DOING THERE?

STEPHEN, WHAT PART OF
"I DON'T KNOW" IS UNCLEAR?

LOOK, THIS IS ME.

IF I KNEW WHAT
HAPPENED IN THERE,

I WOULD TELL YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T MEAN
TO BE SHORT WITH YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT I'M AS CONFUSED
BY THIS AS YOU ARE.

WELL, IT'S POSSIBLE

THAT YOU WERE WALKING
IN YOUR SLEEP.

I MEAN,
TELEPATHS ARE PRONE

TO ECCENTRIC
DREAM BEHAVIOR.

BUT I'VE NEVER
DONE THAT BEFORE.

WELL, IT--

WHICH MEANS IT MAY HAVE
NEEDED A TRIGGER EVENT

FOR YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS
TO GET THINGS MOVING.

CAN YOU THINK
OF ANY REASON

WHY YOU WOULD WANT
TO DESTROY THE ARTIFACT?

NO--WELL...

NOT REALLY. I...

I'VE JUST--

EVER SINCE IT GOT HERE,

I'VE HAD THE STRANGEST
FEELING ABOUT IT.

LIKE I'VE SEEN IT
BEFORE SOMEWHERE.

MAKES ME NERVOUS.

AND BEFORE YOU ASK, NO,
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

IT JUST DOES.

LOOK, I'M REALLY,
REALLY TIRED.

CAN I GO NOW,

OR AM I BEING PLACED
UNDER ARREST?

NO, NO. YOU CAN GO,

BUT LET ME GIVE YOU
SOMETHING

TO HELP YOU SLEEP.

Trent: SHE KNOWS
SHE'S BEING WATCHED.

Sheridan: THE SECURITY CAMERAS
ARE CAREFULLY HIDDEN.

THAT MAY BE, BUT SHE KNOWS
WHERE THAT CAMERA IS,

AND SHE KNOWS
WE'RE WATCHING HER.

JUST LOOK AT HER.

IS THERE ANOTHER
CAMERA IN THERE?

YES, BUT--

HUMOR ME. SWITCH
TO THE ALTERNATE VIEW.

Zack: WELL,
THAT'S A NEAT TRICK.

A LOW-RATED
COMMERCIAL TELEPATH

CAN'T SENSE ELECTRONICS
LIKE THAT.

ONLY A P9 OR ABOVE
COULD DO THAT.

LYTA'S A P5.

SO YOU TOLD ME.

BUT THAT RATING
WAS DETERMINED

BEFORE SHE WENT
TO THE VORLON HOMEWORLD,

AS YOU VERY WELL KNOW.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THAT?

IPX TRACKS
EVERY LONG-RANGE SHIP

THAT APPROACHES
QUARANTINED SPACE.

WE PROBABLY KNOW MORE ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED THAN YOU DO.

ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS,

2 YEARS BEFORE THE WAR

BETWEEN THE VORLONS
AND THE SHADOWS HEATED UP,

LYTA WAS ON MARS, ON THE RUN
FROM THE PSI-CORPS.

WHILE THERE, SHE ARRANGED
TO MEET A STARSHIP CAPTAIN,

DAVID SLAYNER.

ACCORDING TO INFORMATION
WE RECEIVED FROM SLAYNER,

SHE TOLD HIM SHE FELT DRAWN
TO THE VORLON HOMEWORLD,

THE RESULT OF
A PREVIOUS ENCOUNTER

WITH THE VORLON
AMBASSADOR, KOSH.

UNTIL THIS TIME, ANYONE
WHO ENTERED VORLON SPACE

NEVER CAME BACK,

SO THE CAPTAIN WAS
UNDERSTANDABLY RELUCTANT.

BUT THE MONEY WAS RIGHT,
SO THEY WENT.

HE TOOK HER AS FAR
AS THEIR BORDER.

THEY SENT
A CONTINUOUS SIGNAL

INVITING THE VORLONS
TO APPEAR.

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS,
WHEN THE VORLONS DIDN'T SHOW,

THE CAPTAIN DECIDED
TO HEAD BACK.

AT THAT POINT,
LYTA COMMANDEERED A LIFE POD

AND EJECTED
INTO VORLON SPACE.

THE CAPTAIN WISELY TOOK OFF
AND NEVER SAW HER AGAIN.

WE SUSPECT THAT THAT WAS
WHAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR.

LIFE PODS ARE
SHORT-RANGED CRAFT.

SHE WAS 10 DAYS AWAY
FROM THE NEAREST JUMP GATE

WITH ONLY 3 DAYS OF AIR,
FOOD, AND WATER.

THERE IS NO WAY
SHE COULD HAVE SURVIVED

IF THE VORLONS
HADN'T COME FOR HER.

OUR RECORDS ALSO INDICATE THAT,
WHILE SHE WAS THERE,

THE VORLONS ALTERED HER,
INCREASED HER ABILITY.

ASSUMING FOR THE SAKE OF
ARGUMENT THAT YOU'RE RIGHT,

I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON HER.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE HAVEN'T?

CAPTAIN, IN THE PAST,

THE VORLONS HAVE DONE
EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER

TO KEEP HUMANS
FROM GETTING THEIR HANDS

ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.

IF SHE IS STILL
UNDER THEIR INFLUENCE,

SHE MAY HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO DESTROY THE ARTIFACT

TO KEEP US FROM
FIGURING OUT WHAT IT IS.

SHE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW
SHE'S DOING IT.

NONETHELESS, SHE'S A DANGER
TO THIS PROJECT,

AND I SUGGEST YOU KEEP HER
UNDER HOUSE ARREST

UNTIL WE DO A LITTLE MORE
GROUNDWORK ON THIS THING.

I'LL CONSIDER
YOUR SUGGESTION.

THAT'S IT?
YOU'LL CONSIDER IT?

WELL, WE DO HAVE
THIS LITTLE THING

CALLED DUE PROCESS,
DR. TRENT.

NOW, WE'LL KEEP
AN EYE ON HER,

BUT THERE'S NO PROOF
THAT THIS WAS ANYTHING

OTHER THAN
AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

NOW, IF THAT CHANGES,
WE'LL TAKE ACTION,

BUT NOT BEFORE.

IN THE MEANTIME,
I SUGGEST

THAT YOU
ATTEND TO THE ARTIFACT

AND LEAVE
THE STATION TO US.

SUIT YOURSELF.

BUT IF SHE ENDANGERS
ANY OF MY CREW,

WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF HER OURSELVES

AND WORRY ABOUT
DUE PROCESS LATER.

Technician on radio:
PROBE ONE TO BASE,

WE'RE READY TO PROCEED.

STAND BY.

ACTIVATE LIGHT GRID.

Morishi: OK.

ACTIVATING
SCANNER ARRAY.

LET'S START OFF WITH
A METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS

AND CONTINUE WITH A DEEP
FIELD RESONANCE SCAN.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S
INSIDE THAT THING.

PROBE ONE, WE'RE LOSING
THE LIGHT A LITTLE.

CAN YOU CORRECT?

Technician: CONFIRMED.

INCREASING POWER
TO LIGHTING GRID.

HMM.

PERFECT.

KEEP IT AWAY.

KEEP IT AWAY!

IT KNOWS WE'RE HERE!

DON'T YOU HEAR ME?!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!

KEEP IT AWAY!

NO!

IT'S LOOKING AT US
RIGHT NOW!

KEEP IT AWAY!

KEEP IT AWAY!

NO!

AAH! AAH!

AAH!

Trent, voice-over:
REPORT 17.

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
THE CENTAURI GAVE US JUMP GATES

AND CHANGED
THE FUTURE FOREVER.

THE ARTIFACT MAY BE EVEN
MORE IMPORTANT.

PRELIMINARY FINDINGS HAVE
STARTED COMING IN,

AND THEY CONFIRM
THAT THE ALIEN ARTIFACT

IS DEFINITELY NOT A SHIP,
BUT RATHER A MECHANISM.

WE'RE PICKING UP READINGS
BEYOND ANYTHING

THAT WE'VE SEEN BEFORE.

I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IT
MAY BE DESIGNED FOR,

BUT AS LONG AS IT'S
SITTING DEAD IN SPACE,

I CAN'T BE SURE.

WE HAVE TO PROBE FURTHER,
AND WE HAVE TO DO IT SOON,

BEFORE ANYONE ELSE
STARTS POKING AROUND.

IF I'M RIGHT, WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT HERE

COULD MAKE JUMP GATES LOOK LIKE
NOTHING IN COMPARISON.

THIS COULD BE THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY

IN HUMAN HISTORY.

HEH. IT COULD CHANGE...

EVERYTHING.

Guard: AND SO FAR,

WE'VE HAD 10 OUTBREAKS
IN THE LAST 5 HOURS.

AND THAT'S JUST
IN DOWNBELOW.

WHAT KIND OF OUTBREAKS?

FIGHTS, MAINLY.

WE FOUND SOME PEOPLE
LOCKED IN THEIR ROOMS

JUST...SCREAMING.

SAME IN THE ZOCALO,

GREEN SECTOR,
THE CASINO.

WE'VE GIVEN THE WORST
CASES TO MEDLAB

TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD
DO WITH THEM.

THE REST WE'VE GOT
IN LOCKUP,

BUT WE'RE GONNA RUN
OUT OF ROOM REAL SOON

UNLESS THIS STOPS.

AND ALL THIS STARTED
AFTER THE ARTIFACT GOT HERE?

DEFINITELY.

YOU THINK THERE'S
A CONNECTION?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, I WANT WRITE-UPS
ON EVERY INCIDENT

THAT HAPPENS
IN THE NEXT 10 HOURS.

ANYTHING THEY SAY, I WANT IT
TAKEN DOWN FOR ANALYSIS.

MAYBE THERE'S A CONNECTION.

MAYBE THERE'S JUST
A WHOLE LOTTA FULL MOONS

OUT THERE SOMEWHERE,
ALL LINED UP,

BEAMING BOZO RAYS
INTO EVERYBODY'S BRAINS.

BUT EITHER WAY,
I WANT ANSWERS.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ALL.

HEY, GOOD WORK.

GET SOME SLEEP.

BEAUTIFUL.

BEAUTIFUL.

GOD...IT'S
SO BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL,
ISN'T IT?

I WANT TO GO THERE.

I WANT TO BE THERE.

WHAT...

[ECHOING] WHAT...

IS IT?

YOU SHOULDN'T
ASK QUESTIONS LIKE THAT.

[VIR MOANS]

AAH!

[GASPING]

I'M SORRY. IS THERE SOMETHING
I COULD DO FOR YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A PICTURE?
IT'LL LAST LONGER.

YOU'RE NOT MOVING
FAST ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE TO GO FASTER.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK.

Sheridan: WHAT HAVE
YOU FOUND SO FAR?

NOTHING I FEEL CONFIDENT
TALKING ABOUT.

YOU'VE HAD 5 DAYS.

AND WE HAVE BARELY
SCRATCHED THE SURFACE.

LOOK, CAPTAIN,
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,

THIS IS NOT YOUR AREA
OF EXPERTISE.

IT'S NOT LIKE
YOU CAN PUSH A BUTTON

ON THE BACK
OF THAT THING

AND A MANUAL POPS OUT

AND TELLS YOU WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT WORKS.

I COULD STUDY THAT THING
FOR 5 YEARS,

LET ALONE 5 DAYS,

AND STILL NOT CRACK IT.

SCIENCE DOES NOT PAY
ATTENTION TO A CLOCK.

IT'LL TAKE
HOWEVER MUCH TIME

IT NEEDS TO TAKE--

NO LESS. NO MORE.

DR. TRENT,
YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M NOT A XENO-ARCHEOLOGIST,
BUT MY WIFE WAS.

NOW SHE TALKED ABOUT HER WORK,
SAME AS I DID.

AND AFTER A WHILE,
YOU PICK UP A FEW THINGS.

BY THIS TIME, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SURFACE REPORTS,

MAGNETIC RESONANCE SCANS,

SOME IDEA IF IT'S A SHIP
OR MECHANISM,

AND A GENERAL NOTION
OF WHAT IT DOES,

WHETHER OR NOT
YOU'VE FIGURED OUT

THE SPECIFICS OF IT YET.

YES, IN A CONVENTIONAL DIG,
THAT'S TRUE.

BUT THIS IS
HARDLY CONVENTIONAL.

THERE WE AGREE. NOTHING
ABOUT THIS IS CONVENTIONAL.

EVER SINCE WE BROUGHT
THAT THING HERE,

WE'VE HAD A 30% INCREASE

IN VIOLENT ACTIVITY
ON THE STATION.

WELL, CAPTAIN,
THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH ME.

MAYBE.

BUT WHAT IF
YOU'RE WRONG?

LOOK, CAPTAIN,
I'M SORRY.

I'M WORKING ON
2 HOURS OF SLEEP

OUT OF THE LAST 36.

RIGHT NOW, I'M RUNNING
ON ADRENALINE AND COFFEE,

AND I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THIS.

NOW, YOU GAVE ME
PERMISSION

TO HANDLE
THIS THING,

AND I'M DOING
THE BEST JOB

THAT I KNOW HOW
WITH LIMITED RESOURCES

AND NOT A WHOLE HELL
OF A LOT OF COOPERATION.

NOW IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'M GONNA GO
GET BACK TO WORK.

ALL RIGHT.
JUST A SECOND.

IS THAT A COPY
OF THE HIEROGLYPH

YOU FOUND ON
THE ARTIFACT?

YES.

THAT'S VORLON.

YOU KNOW VORLON?

YOU'D BE SURPRISED.

ANY GOOD XENO-ARCHEOLOGIST
WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED IT,

AND ANY DECENT ONE WOULD HAVE
MENTIONED HAVING FOUND IT.

[SIGHS]

NOW I AM GIVING YOU
ANOTHER 48 HOURS.

THEN I WANT A REPORT
ON YOUR FINDINGS.

IF I DON'T LIKE
WHAT I SEE,

I AM PULLING THE PLUG.

IS THAT CLEAR?

WHATEVER.

OK, DEUCE,
I'M GONNA ASK YOU AGAIN.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THE MAINTENANCE AREA?

YOU WERE TRYING TO OPEN UP
THE AIRLOCKS. NOW WHY?

I...WAS GOING TO GO
FOR A WALK.

I WAS GOING TO GO
FOR A WALK.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT

EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION
LOOKS LIKE?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHAT IT WOULD DO
TO THIS PLACE?

I WANTED
TO GO OUTSIDE.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S OUTSIDE.

IT'S CALLING ME.

IT'S CALLING ALL OF US.

THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE
THERE IN THE CITY.

WHAT CITY?

YOU KNOW.

YOU'VE BEEN THERE.

YOU'VE SEEN.

I CAN TELL
BY LOOKING AT YOU.

WE BELONG TO THEM,
YOU KNOW.

AND THEY'RE GOING
TO COME FOR US SOON.

WE HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR.
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

THOSE OF US
WHO HEAR THE CALL.

WE BELONG TO THEM.

THE OTHERS...

WHO DO NOT HEAR THE CALL...

WILL NOT SURVIVE IT.

THAT'S IT!

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

MAYBE THE DOC
CAN FIGURE HIM OUT.

Ivanova: I JUST DON'T
GET IT. I MEAN...

DEUCE IS A SURVIVOR.

HE RUNS HALF THE RACKETS
DOWN BELOW.

HE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING
THIS STUPID.

I AGREE.

WHAT WAS THAT
ABOUT A CITY?

NOTHING. HE WAS JUST
GETTING TO ME, THAT'S ALL.

YOU'RE SURE?

YEAH, I'M POSITIVE.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

STILL...LET ME HEAR IF
ANYBODY ELSE TALKS ABOUT THIS,

ALL RIGHT?

ENGINEERING,
WHAT'S YOUR ETA?

ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

AH, GREAT. YEAH,

THAT'S AN AFFIRMATIVE,
UH-HUH.

BILL, WHAT'S THE PENALTY
FOR KILLING A CAPTAIN

ABOARD HIS OWN VESSEL?

IT'S DEATH BY SPACING.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

OH, ABOUT 3, 4 MINUTES.

A COUPLE OF MINUTES LESS,
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORTH IT.

IMAGINE ALL THE NERVE
OF THIS GUY

TRYING TO BLAME US
FOR HIS PROBLEMS

ENFORCING DISCIPLINE.

WELL, YOU KNOW,
IN ALL FAIRNESS,

THINGS HAVE BEEN
GETTING STRANGE

SINCE WE GOT HERE.

JUST THIS MORNING,

WHILE I WAS
HAVING BREAKFAST,

THERE WERE
ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO--

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.

HE WANTS THIS
ALL TO HIMSELF.

HE WANTS US TO DO
ALL THE HARD WORK,

AND HE'LL JUST
COME RIGHT IN

AND GRAB ALL THE CREDIT
RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER US.

WELL...NO WAY IN HELL.

HMM. THIS THING IS GONNA
MAKE MY CAREER, BILL.

I WON'T HAVE IT.

WE HAVE TO ACCELERATE
THE PROGRAM.

ELIZABETH, I WANT
TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

THIS GRID BACK HERE.
IS THIS A POWER RELAY?

WE THINK SO.

DR. MANKOWITZ
BELIEVES THAT

AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE

WAS USED TO KICK-START
THE INTERNAL GENERATORS.

THEY LOOK DAMAGED.

SOMEONE DEFINITELY WANTED
TO SHUT THAT DOWN.

THEY SHOT OUT
THE INTERNAL RELAYS,

THE POWER GRID.

AFTER THAT, WHATEVER
ORIGINAL CHARGE IT HAD

DISSIPATED
DURING THE TIME

IT WAS DRIFTING
THROUGH HYPERSPACE.

WELL,
I WANT IT RECONNECTED.

USE SPIT AND BALING WIRE
IF YOU HAVE TO,

BUT I WANT
THOSE RELAYS CONNECTED.

LET'S USE OUR BIGGEST
POWER CELLS, SEE IF THAT WORKS.

I DON'T THINK IT'S WISE,

NOT UNTIL WE KNOW
WHAT IT IS. THE RISKS--

ARE INSIGNIFICANT
COMPARED TO THE BENEFITS.

I AM SORRY.

A RADICAL MOVE LIKE THAT
REQUIRES THE TWO OF US AGREE.

I DON'T.

BILL,
WE HAVE TO DO THIS.

THEN CONVINCE ME.

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU
DOES NOT LEAVE THIS ROOM.

IS THAT CLEAR?

YEAH.

FOR 200 YEARS,

AFTER WE FIRST
WENT INTO SPACE,

SHIPS FROM EARTH
WOULD TAKE MONTHS

TO TRAVEL FROM ONE
PLANET TO ANOTHER.

AND TRAVEL
BETWEEN THE STARS--

THEY WERE HUNDREDS
OF LIGHT YEARS APART--

JUST WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

THEN WE MET
THE CENTAURI.

THEY GAVE US
JUMPGATES,

WHICH OF COURSE
GAVE US HYPERSPACE.

SO INSTEAD OF
HUNDREDS OF YEARS,

IT NOW TAKES
DAYS OR WEEKS

TO TRAVEL FROM
ONE STAR TO ANOTHER.

WELL,
THAT'S OLD NEWS.

FACT IS,
THE WAY I HEAR IT,

THE CENTAURIS
DIDN'T EXACTLY INVENT

JUMPGATE TECHNOLOGY EITHER.

NONE OF THE CURRENT RACES
DID.

THEY FOUND THE GATES

WHEN THEY GOT OUT
INTO SPACE,

TOOK THEM APART

AND PUT THEM BACK
TOGETHER AGAIN.

I MEAN,
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS

WHO BUILT
THE FIRST GATES.

BUT WHAT DOES ANY
OF THAT

HAVE TO DO
WITH THE ARTIFACT?

I THINK THIS IS
AN ORIGINAL GATE,

LEFT BEHIND BY
WHATEVER ANCIENT RACE

FIRST CAME UP WITH THEM.

BUT THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.

MAYBE--MAYBE
IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT

THAT GOT AWAY FROM THEM.
I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT DOESN'T OPEN

INTO NORMAL SPACE
OR HYPERSPACE.

I THINK IT LEADS
TO A--

A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
KIND OF SPACE.

CALL IT--CALL IT
A THIRDSPACE,

FOR LACK
OF A BETTER TERM.

AND IT'S--
IT WORKS UNDER

A WHOLE DIFFERENT
SET OF RULES.

NOW IF I'M RIGHT,

TRAVEL IN THIRDSPACE

IS EVEN FASTER
THAN HYPERSPACE.

WHERE IT TOOK DAYS OR WEEKS

TO TRAVEL FROM ONE STAR
TO ANOTHER,

IN THIRDSPACE, TRAVEL
WOULD BE ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS.

MY GOD.

IT WOULD COMPLETELY
REVOLUTIONIZE STAR TRAVEL.

IT WOULD--IT WOULD OPEN UP
NEW AVENUES OF COMMERCE.

IT WOULD BE
ONE HELL OF A WEAPON.

NO MORE HYPERSPACE PROBES

GIVING YOU A 2-DAY NOTICE
OF APPROACHING BATTLE GROUPS.

WHOEVER HAS
THIRDSPACE CAPABILITY

CAN COME IN WHEREVER,
WHENEVER THEY WANT,

MAKE THE HIT AND GET OUT
BEFORE ANYBODY COULD REACT.

IT IS THE ULTIMATE
FORM OF COMMERCE;

IT IS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON;

IT'S A TWOFER, BILL,

AND IT IS JUST SITTING
RIGHT THERE,

WAITING FOR US
TO FIGURE IT OUT.

AND ONCE WE DO
FIGURE IT OUT,

ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS FIGURE OUT

WHERE TO PUT OUR
NOBEL PRIZES.

HMM.

WELL,
THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN

WHAT HAPPENED--
THE SIGNS OF DAMAGE.

WHOEVER CREATED IT
ORIGINALLY

MIGHT HAVE INTENDED
TO USE IT

AS A WEAPON
AGAINST ANOTHER RACE,

ONLY THAT RACE ATTACKED

BEFORE IT COULD BE
ACTIVATED.

BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
HOW IT GOT INTO HYPERSPACE.

I MEAN, WOULDN'T THEY
HAVE WANTED

TO KEEP IT
FOR THEMSELVES?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S ANCIENT HISTORY.

WHAT DOES MATTER IS THAT,
SOONER OR LATER,

SOMEBODY'S GONNA FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE,

AND THEY'RE GONNA TRY
AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM US.

THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO
IS GET IN THERE,

CRACK THIS THING,
AND GET OUT BEFORE THEY DO.

AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT
IS TO TURN IT ON.

WELL, ASSUMING IT STILL
WORKS AFTER ALL THIS TIME.

OH, IT WORKS.

I CAN FEEL IT.

LOOK, BILL,
THIS IS THE BIG ONE.

IT'S GONNA PUT US
IN THE HISTORY BOOKS

FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

CAN I COUNT ON YOU?

CAN I?

OK.

GOOD.

NOW LET'S GET TO WORK,

'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
A LOT OF TIME.

RIGHT.

OH. GOOD AFTERNOON,
COMMANDER.

HELLO, VIR.

YOU KNOW,
I--I SHOULD TELL YOU,

ONLY BECAUSE
IT'S A SIGN

OF GOOD LUCK
AMONG MY PEOPLE,

THAT, UH...I SAW YOU
IN A DREAM LAST NIGHT.

DID YOU?

YES. YOU AND SEVERAL
OTHER WOMEN,

BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK WE
NEED TO GO INTO THE DETAILS.

YEAH,
I SUPPOSE NOT.

BOY, IT WAS SUCH
A VIVID DREAM.

AND THERE WAS THIS CITY,
YOU KNOW,

THIS, UH,
GORGEOUS PLACE.

A CITY?

YES.

A BIG, BLACK CITY?

YES!

WITH A BIG, BLACK TOWER
ABOUT 5 MILES HIGH?

YES!
THAT'S AMAZING!

VIR, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?

YES, YES. AS A MATTER
OF FACT, I DO. UH--

I WASN'T GOING
TO MENTION THAT PART.

WHAT?
UH...

YOU WERE KILLED.

EATEN, ACTUALLY...

BY SOMETHING.

I--I REALLY DIDN'T
GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT.

IT WAS JUST...

THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER.

[BEEP]

IVANOVA TO SHERIDAN.

SHERIDAN. GO.

I THINK WE HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH THE ARTIFACT.

Builder: CAREFUL...

5 DEGREES TO STARBOARD.

JUST EASE IT ON IN.

Ivanova:
C&C TO WORK CREW,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUT THERE?

WELL, THE OTHERS MODIFIED
AN ENERGY CELL.

WE'RE JUST SEEING
IF IT WORKS IN THE--

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY?

YOURS, I THOUGHT.

NEGATIVE. WE NEVER
AUTHORIZED THIS.

BREAK OFF. BREAK OFF
IMMEDIATELY.

IT'S TOO LATE.

WE HAVE CONTACT.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING
OUT THERE.

Ivanova, voice garbled:
GET THE HELL...

COM SYSTEM'S BREAKING UP.

Ivanova: GET THE HELL
OUT OF THERE!

AAH!

[SHOUTING]

Pilot: C&C, WE HAVE NO POWER
TO THE BAY DOORS.

YOU ARE ALL IN VIOLATION
OF STATION ORDINANCE 22B3A!

THAT MEANS
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

Ivanova: ENGINEERING
REPORTS 15% DROP IN POWER,

CONTINUING TO FALL.

Sheridan:
YEAH, THE ARTIFACT.

YEAH, THEY JUMP-STARTED
THE THING

AND NOW IT'S DRAINING US DRY.

HOW MANY SQUADRONS
ARE OUT THERE?

JUST DELTA SQUADRON.

WELL,
GET THE REST OUTSIDE.

WELL, WE'RE TRYING,
BUT THE POWER DRAIN

HAS SHORTED OUT THE CONTROLS
FOR THE COBRA BAY DOORS,

AND THEY'RE TRYING
TO WORK ON IT NOW.

TELL THEM TO HURRY.

IF WE KEEP LOSING POWER
AT THIS RATE,

PRETTY SOON WE WON'T
BE ABLE TO LAUNCH AT ALL.

USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM.

DO WE HAVE
COM SYSTEMS?

YEAH, BUT I DON'T KNOW

HOW MUCH LONGER
THEY'LL BE LASTING.

[SHAKING]

Computer: WARNING!
POWER LOSS.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
POWER TO THE TUBES.

THIS PLACE IS TOO BIG
TO GET AROUND ON FOOT.

DIRECT POWER
TO LIFE SUPPORT,

ROTATIONAL SYSTEMS,
AND TRANSPORTATION.

[BEEP BEEP]

SHERIDAN. GO.

Zack: CAPTAIN, WE GOT A PROBLEM
DOWN IN COBRA BAY 2.

WE GOT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

TRYING TO GET
TO THE FIGHTERS

TO KEEP 'EM FROM LAUNCHING.

DO YOU NEED BACKUP?

NO. I ALREADY
CALLED IN THE TROOPS.

WE CAN HOLD 'EM HERE.

BUT WE GOT SIMILAR PROBLEMS
ALL OVER THE STATION.

IT'S LIKE
ALL RANDOM VIOLENCE,

LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP
US OFF-BALANCE, DISORGANIZED.

I DON'T KNOW. IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY'RE UNDER SOME KIND

OF TELEPATHIC
INFLUENCE OR SOMETHING.

I TOLD MY MEN
TO GO HAND-TO-HAND

TO AVOID KILLING ANYBODY,

THOUGH I'M PRETTY TEMPTED
RIGHT NOW. I KNOW,

IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT.
THEY'RE UNDER OUTSIDE CONTROL.

YOU CAN'T KILL 'EM FOR THAT!

LEAST NOT YET!

Sheridan: ALL RIGHT.
HANG TIGHT.

JUST KEEP 'EM
OUT OF THE BAYS.

ALL RIGHT!
I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN!

ALL RIGHT,
YOU GET TO DR. TRENT.

SEE WHAT SHE HAS
TO DO WITH THIS.

MAYBE SHE KNOWS
WHAT THIS THING IS

AND WHAT IT DOES.

I HAVE A NASTY FEELING
THAT THIS IS ONLY A WARMUP.

I MEAN, IT SHUT US DOWN,
IT'S IMMOBILIZED US,

AND NOW IT'S POWERING
ITSELF BACK UP.

THE QUESTION IS...

WHAT IS IT
POWERING BACK UP FOR?

HMM. WELL,
I'M GONNA SEE LYTA.

IF THAT THING
IS PUTTING OUT

TELEPATHIC IMPULSES,

SHE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP.

BESIDES, IT'S GOT VORLON
WRITING ALL OVER IT.

KNOW ANYONE THAT GOT CLOSER
TO THE VORLON THAN SHE DID?

[DOORS BEEP]

[BEEP]

THIS IS SECURITY

TO ALL STATION PERSONNEL
AND GUESTS!

THE SITUATION HAS BECOME
CRITICALLY DANGEROUS.

WE ARE IMPOSING IMMEDIATE
CURFEW AND LOCKDOWN.

DO NOT, FOR ANY REASON,
LEAVE YOUR QUARTERS.

I REPEAT, FOR YOUR OWN
SAFETY, STAY INSIDE.

COME ON!

GET OUT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'? COME ON!
YOU NED TO GET BACK!

C&C: ALL RIGHT,
WE'VE GOT POWER.

GO FOR LAUNCH.

Morishi:
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YES, IT IS.

HUH. SCANNERS INDICATE

THEY'RE MOVING FIGHTERS
AROUND IT.

WE'VE GOT
TO DO SOMETHING.

YES, WE DO.

Delta 7:
ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE, FORM UP.

WEAPONS HOT.

WE HAVE
TO TAKE THAT THING OUT,

BUT WE CAN'T GET TOO CLOSE
OR IT'LL KILL THE ENGINES.

Delta 9:
HOW CLOSE CAN WE GET?

JUST INSIDE
WEAPONS RANGE.

THAT FAR, AND WE WON'T
EVEN BE ABLE TO HURT IT.

THE DIFFUSION WILL--

WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO KEEP HITTING IT

AND HOPE THAT A LOT
OF WEAKER STRIKES

HAVE
A CUMULATIVE EFFECT.

DELTAS 2 AND 6,
YOU'LL BE MY WINGMEN.

3 AND 9,
HANG BACK WITH THE REST

AND HIT
IN THE NEXT WAVE.

Delta 9:
ROGER THAT.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

COME ON.

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAD
THE SAME IDEA.

IT SEEMED
THE LOGICAL CHOICE.

[BEEPS]

LYTA...

IT'S DELENN
AND JOHN SHERIDAN.

WE NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.

LYTA?

Computer:
SECURITY OVERRIDE.

P.A.: STATION ALERT.

LOCKDOWN IN PROGRESS.

ALL CIVILIAN PERSONNEL,
PLEASE REMAIN IN YOUR QUARTERS.

ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL...

LYTA?

WE TRIED
TO STOP IT.

TRIED
TO WARN YOU.

WE FAILED.

AND NOW
IT IS TOO LATE.

THE DOOR IS OPENING.

Delta 2: NEGATIVE
ON HIT, DELTA 7.

DAMN!

OK. COME AROUND
AND WE'LL--

Delta 9: DELTA 7,
THE ARTIFACT...

WHO ARE YOU?

AN ECHO OF WHAT WAS.

A MEMORY.

A WARNING
EMBEDDED IN THE THOUGHTS

OF EACH GENERATION

AND PASSED ON TO THE NEXT.

WE WERE EXPLORING MEMORIES
WHEN THE DEVICE WAS FOUND.

THAT ACTIVATED
THIS MEMORY...

THIS...MESSAGE.

LYTA ONCE TOLD ME...

THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME
LEFTOVER PROGRAMMING

STILL INSIDE HER,
PUT THERE BY THE VORLONS

WHEN THEY TOOK OFF
FOR THE RIM.

THIS COULD BE
PART OF IT.

YES...

A RACE MEMORY.

OUR GREAT MISTAKE.

OUR FAILING.

AND NOW YOUR FAILING.

THE ERROR IS COMPOUNDED.

WHAT MISTAKE?

THE FIRST ONE...

THE ONE FROM WHICH
ALL MISTAKES PROCEED.

THE ERROR OF PRIDE.

WE HAD TRAVELED
TO A THOUSAND WORLDS.

WE BROUGHT ORDER,

DISCIPLINE.

WE APPEARED TO THEM
AS...BEINGS OF LIGHT.

THEY SAW US AS EMISSARIES
FROM THE UNIVERSE,

THEY SAW US AS GODS.

AND WE,

IN OUR PRIDE,

BEGAN TO BELIEVE THEM.

WE BELIEVED
THAT WE WERE SUPERIOR

TO THE UNIVERSE
THAT GAVE US BIRTH.

WE BELIEVED WE COULD
TRANSCEND THIS DIMENSION,

THAT WE BELONGED
TO ANOTHER,

HIGHER PLANE.

AND IN THE END,

IN TERMS
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,

WE RESOLVED TO STORM
THE GATES OF HEAVEN ITSELF.

WE APPLIED ALL OUR WISDOM,

ALL OUR KNOWLEDGE

TO OPENING A DOOR
TO ANOTHER DIMENSION,

A PLACE WE BELIEVED
WAS THE WELL OF SOULS,

THE FOUNDATION
FOR ALL LIFE.

WE WOULD TOUCH
THE FACE OF GOD...

AND IN SO DOING...

BECOME GODS OURSELVES.

WE FORGOT THAT A DOOR
MAY SWING IN 2 DIRECTIONS.

WE WERE SO CONCERNED
WITH GETTING OUT

THAT WE NEVER
STOPPED TO CONSIDER

WHAT WE MIGHT BE
LETTING IN...

UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE.

HOLY...

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THEY ARE A POWER
BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

A HUNGER
BEYOND UNDERSTANDING.

THEY ARE ANTI-LIFE ITSELF.

OLDER EVEN THAN WE WERE.

TELEPATHIC,
ALL OF THEM.

THEY MODIFIED THE GATE

SO THAT IT ENHANCES
THEIR TELEPATHIC IMPULSES...

CREATED AN ARMY
OF OUR OWN PEOPLE

WILLING TO DIE FOR THEM.

WE FOUGHT THEM BACK,

DISABLED THE DEVICE, BUT...

THOSE OF US CONTROLLED
BY THEIR INFLUENCE

DROPPED INTO HYPERSPACE
BEFORE WE COULD STOP THEM.

HID IT FROM US.

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

TO DESTROY ALL LIFE
THAT IS NOT THEIR OWN.

THEY BELIEVE ONLY THEY

HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST
IN THE UNIVERSE,

THAT ALL OTHER
LIFE FORMS ARE INFERIOR

AND MUST BE EXTERMINATED.

IN THEIR OWN UNIVERSE,

THEY HAVE DESTROYED
THOUSANDS OF RACES

AND CONTINUE TO DESTROY
THOUSANDS MORE.

BECAUSE OF OUR PRIDE.

THEY KNOW WE ARE HERE.

THEY WATCH US
FROM WITHIN THEIR DARK CITIES,

WAITING FOR THE CHANCE
TO COME HERE...

AND DESTROY.

WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE A GATE
FROM THEIR SIDE?

THE DOOR MUST BE OPEN
ON BOTH SIDES.

CLOSE THIS ONE,

AND THEY CANNOT
COME THROUGH.

WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT
FOR CENTURIES,

HOPING TO FIND IT
AND DESTROY IT.

WE FEARED THIS DAY
WOULD COME.

THEY MUST BE STOPPED

OR HUNDREDS OF WORLDS
WILL DIE.

HOW?

LEARN.

Delta 9:
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT,

SOME KIND OF FIELD?

DOESN'T MATTER.
WE GOT A JOB TO DO

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

COME AROUND
FOR ANOTHER RUN.

ROGER THAT.

BREAK OFF! BREAK OFF!

YOU SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

[GASPING]
I THINK SO.

YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO?

YOU SHOULD TAKE SOMEONE
WITH YOU.

NO, I CAN'T.
I HAVE TO GO ALONE.

YOU HEARD IT--HER.

NOW, GO ON.

DO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO.

GO ON.

P.A.: ALERT.
LOCKDOWN IN PROGRESS.

OUR MISTAKE.

ONE OF MANY.

SO MANY.

DR. TRENT?

THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON

AND EVERYBODY'S ACTING
SO STRANGELY,

I JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE
IT WAS YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

HE SAW YOUR STARFURIES
COMING AFTER THE ARTIFACT

AND WAS GOING TO INTERFERE.

I THINK THE DEVICE

TOOK CONTROL OF HIM
SOMEHOW, AND...

I STOPPED HIM.

HE CAME FOR ME.

I SHOT HIM.

THERE WAS
NO OTHER WAY.

IT'S BEEN HAPPENING
ALL OVER THE STATION.

THE DEVICE IS USING SOME KIND

OF A TELEPATHIC SIGNAL
TO CONTROL PEOPLE,

TO USE THEM TO KEEP US
FROM SHUTTING IT DOWN.

IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY'RE
DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT IT.

LISTEN,
THE CAPTAIN NEEDS TO KNOW

WHAT YOU FOUND OUT
ABOUT THE ARTIFACT--

ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT CAN HELP US.

DOESN'T HE HAVE
ANY IDEAS OF HIS OWN?

A FEW, BUT...

WELL, I CAN'T EXACTLY
ADVISE YOU

IF I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS YOU WANT.

WELL, I--
[BEEP BEEP]

IVANOVA.

I'M ON MY WAY
TO BAY 9.

SCRAMBLE EVERYBODY YOU CAN.

GET 'EM OUT.

DELENN'S BRINGING IN
THE MINBARI CRUISERS,

BUT I'LL NEED YOU
TO COMMAND THE WHITE STARS.

ME? WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA BE DOING WHEN I'M--

Sheridan: SUSAN?

SUSAN!

STAND BY.

YOU SAID THAT YOU SHOT HIM

WHEN HE WAS COMING
TOWARD YOU, RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEN WHY IS THE PPG BURN
ON THE BACK OF HIS JUMPSUIT

AND NOT THE FRONT?

IVANOVA TO C&C.
NOTIFY SECURITY.

I NEED AN ARREST TEAM
IN DR. TRENT'S OFFICE ASAP.

C&C: CONFIRMED.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ELSE, COMMANDER.

WE ESTIMATE 2 HOURS

UNTIL THE ENERGY DRAIN
LEAVES US DEAD IN SPACE.

NUTS. ALL RIGHT,

PREPARE ALL FIGHTERS
FOR LAUNCH AND CALL IN

ALL THE WHITE STARS
IN THE AREA.

WE'RE GOING OUT THERE.

C&C:
REPEAT, HOLD POSITION.

WE'VE GOT REINFORCEMENTS
ON THE WAY.

Pilot: THEY'D BETTER
GET HERE SOON.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GONNA

COME OUT
OF THAT THING NEXT,

BUT I'D BET GOOD MONEY

IT'S A HELL OF A LOT
BIGGER THAN WE ARE.

IVANOVA TO ASSAULT FLEET:

WE'RE OUT.
YOU'RE CLEAR TO PROCEED.

Ivanova:
REMEMBER, HOLD POSITION.

DO NOT FIRE UNTIL ORDERED.

C&C: DON'T TAKE TOO LONG.

THEY'RE TEARING THE PLACE
APART IN HERE.

LOOK OUT!

Man:
WATCH IT! WATCH IT!

LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Computer: ACCESS
CONFIRMATION REQUIRED.

SHERIDAN, JOHN J.

CAPTAIN.

PASSWORD: ABRAXAS,
7-9-7-1-3.

Computer: IDENTITY CONFIRMED.

IS EVERYONE READY?

Ranger: AFFIRMATIVE,
COMMANDER.

DELENN, YOU SET?

READY WHEN YOU ARE.

ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL WAIT FOR

THE CAPTAIN'S SIGNAL
AND THEN--

WE MAY NOT HAVE
THAT MUCH TIME.

CONTROL TO ASSAULT FLEET,
BREAK AND ATTACK,

BUT TARGET
THE FRONT OF THE ARTIFACT.

I REPEAT, TARGET THE FRONT
OF THE ARTIFACT ONLY.

HARD TO STARBOARD!

FIRE!

Man: OVER HERE!
OVER HERE!

STEPHEN!

Guard: CHIEF!

GO ON!
I'LL CATCH UP LATER!

I THOUGHT I TOLD EVERYBODY
TO STAY INSIDE.

YOU DID, BUT WE'VE GOT
WOUNDED OUT HERE.

I CAN'T JUST LEAVE THEM.

YEAH, YEAH,
I KNOW, I KNOW.

COME ON.
LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND.

PUT YOUR ARM AROUND ME.

HERE WE GO.

WATCH IT.
WATCH IT!

FRANKLIN TO MEDLAB.

I TOLD YOU,
COM SYSTEMS ARE DOWN!

LOOK, WE CAN'T MOVE HER.
WE NEED A TRAUMA TEAM.

WHAT'S GOING ON
OUT THERE?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUTSIDE?

LOOK, VIR, DON'T DO
ANYTHING, ALL RIGHT?

WE NEED TO MOVE THIS GIRL
TO A MEDLAB.

LOOK, I ASKED YOU
A QUESTION.

WHAT'S GOING ON
OUTSIDE THE STATION?

WHAT THE--

VIR, DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!

MAYBE NEXT TIME
YOU'LL LISTEN!

YEAH, IF THERE'S
A NEXT TIME.

Pilot:
ALPHA 6 TO CONTROL,

WE CAN BARELY HURT
THOSE THINGS.

WE HAVE TO HIT THEM 4 TIMES
BEFORE THEY EVEN NOTICE.

THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO BE
4 TIMES AS ACCURATE.

WE HAVE TO WITHDRAW.

NEGATIVE! THIS IS
JUST THE FIRST WAVE

TO SOFTEN US UP
FOR THE MAIN FLEET.

IF WE CAN'T
TAKE THESE GUYS,

WE SURE AS HELL
CAN'T TAKE THE REST.

YOU KEEP AT IT.

THE REST OF YOU,
DEFEND YOURSELVES,

BUT CONTINUE TO TARGET
THE ENERGY FIELD

SURROUNDING THE ARTIFACT.

HIT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
AND DO NOT STOP.

[PANTING]

I HAVE GOT TO BE
OUT OF MY MIND.

SHERIDAN TO IVANOVA,
I'M IN POSITION.

GO.

CONFIRMED.

CONTROL TO ASSAULT FLEET,

ANYBODY THAT HAS A CLEAR SHOT
OF THAT ENERGY FIELD,

TAKE IT. NOW.

ENTERING ARTIFACT.

Ivanova:
CONTROL TO DELENN.

YES?

HE'S IN.

Computer: THERMONUCLEAR
DETONATION SEQUENCE ARMED.

DELENN TO IVANOVA,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,

I CAN HEAR YOU.
WHAT IS IT?

LOOK AT THE ARTIFACT,
SUSAN.

PUT IT ON SCREEN.

AH, GIVE ME A BREAK.

FLIGHT SYSTEM,
RETRACE PATH.

AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION.
TOP SPEED.

Computer: CONFIRMED.

[SCREECHING]

[SCREECH]

SHERIDAN TO ASSAULT FLEET.
I'M CLEAR.

BREAK OFF!

ALL SHIPS, BREAK OFF!

GET THE HELL
OUT OF THE WAY!

[SCREECHING]

Ivanova: MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED, DELENN.

WE GOT IT.

WE GOT IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME?

I WAS JUST IN
THE TRANSPORT TUBE

WITH IVANOVA.

DELENN TO ASSAULT FLEET,

ESCORT ALL DAMAGED SHIPS
TO BASE, AND BE CAREFUL.

SOME OF THE SMALLER
ENEMY SHIPS MAY HAVE SURVIVED.

Sheridan:
BY THE WAY, DELENN,

WHILE YOU'RE
MAKING SUGGESTIONS...

YES?

IT LOOKS LIKE
I USED UP

THE LAST
OF MY NAVIGATION PACK

GETTING OUT
OF THE ARTIFACT.

CAN YOU SWING BY
AND PICK ME UP

ON YOUR WAY IN?

OF COURSE...

IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME.

AND HOW LONG IS THAT?

THIS ISN'T FUNNY,
DELENN.

YES, IT IS.

OH, NO, IT ISN'T.

P.A.: STATION LOCKDOWN
HAS BEEN LIFTED,

BUT THE FOLLOWING AREAS
ARE STILL OFF-LIMITS

DUE TO DAMAGE AND DEBRIS:

GRADE 1, GRADE 10...

Trent: I'M SORRY
FOR WHAT HAPPENED, CAPTAIN.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE

FELL UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF THAT THING.

MORE WOULD'VE FALLEN
IF WE HADN'T STOPPED IT.

HOWEVER...

THAT DOESN'T
EXPLAIN YOUR DECISION

TO HOLD BACK INFORMATION

BEFORE THAT THING

STARTED BROADCASTING
TELEPATHIC SIGNALS.

BUT...WE WON'T MENTION
THAT PART, WILL WE?

MAKE THE CONVERSATION
SO DEPRESSING.

YES, IT WOULD.

BILL SHOULD BE ALIVE
RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE
ON THE ARTIFACT.

MAYBE IT'LL BE USEFUL
SOMEDAY.

MAYBE NOT.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

OH, I'M GONNA GO AWAY
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

AFTER EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED,

I HAVE TO DECIDE
IF I WANT THIS JOB ANYMORE.

I DIDN'T LIKE THE PART OF ME
THAT THAT THING BROUGHT OUT.

WELL, MAYBE IT'S A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.

IF IT IS, IT'S
A HELL OF A PAINFUL ONE.

AIN'T NO OTHER KIND,
DR. TRENT.

Sheridan: I WAS SURE
SHE DIDN'T GIVE ME

ALL THE INFORMATION.

SHE JUST WANTED
OUT OF THERE,

AND IF A LITTLE LIE
GOT HER OUT THE DOOR,

THAT WAS FINE WITH HER.

FINE WITH BOTH OF US,
REALLY,

BECAUSE, AS MR. GARIBALDI
HAS BEEN KNOWN TO SAY

FROM TIME TO TIME,

WE ALL LIE.

WHEN THE DUST SETTLED

AND PEOPLE WANTED
EXPLANATIONS,

WE GAVE THEM ONE.

WE SAID THAT THE DEVICE
WAS A WEAPON,

A MOUSETRAP,

WHICH WAS TRUE.

WE TOLD THEM THAT IT USED
A TELEPATHIC TRIGGER

AND CAUSED AN OUTBREAK
OF FIGHTING.

AND WE TOLD THEM THAT
IT WAS FINALLY DESTROYED.

IT'S ALL TRUE.

AND OF COURSE...

IT'S ALL A LIE...

BECAUSE THERE ARE TIMES WE
DON'T NEED THE WHOLE TRUTH.

THE VORLONS MADE AN ERROR
THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,

AND WE PAID THE PRICE
FOR IT TODAY.

WHY ENCOURAGE ANYONE ELSE
TO DO THE SAME?

HELL, WE'VE GOT MORE THAN
ENOUGH TROUBLE OF OUR OWN.

WE DON'T NEED TO INHERIT
ANYONE ELSE'S MISTAKES.

WE GOT THROUGH IT ALIVE,
AND EVERYONE'S OK.

THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

AND THIS ISN'T
THE KIND OF PROBLEM

THAT'S LIKELY
TO EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

ONE MISTAKE.

ONE MISTAKE
OUT OF SO MANY.

SO MANY OTHERS.
