"Stop program." "Open." "Forgive me for disturbing you in your quarters." " I've had urgent orders from Delenn." " What can I do for the Minbari?" "Shaal Mayan will shortly be returning here." "In light of the incident which occurred during her last visit Delenn would like security assigned to her." "Good idea." "I'll arrange it." "Thank you." "Excuse me, what sort of machine is this?" "Well, it's an Earth antique." "Mint condition." "The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11, vintage 1992." "Liquid-cooled dual overhead cams, 16-valve, 1052 cc, in-line four Ram Air induction, 6-speed gearbox, and 320-mm front disks." "It's the best bike of its time." "Or it will be when I put it together." "Well, it sounds most impressive." "What exactly does it do?" "What does it do?" "It's a motorcycle." "You ride it!" " A vehicle." " It's more than that." " It's a piece of Earth history." " That's an interest of mine." "I've been building this piece of history for the last five years scrounging parts wherever I could." "If I could just figure out where they go." "I won this manual in a blackjack game, but it's in Japanese." "Given some time to study this manual, perhaps I could be of assistance." "Well, at this point, I'll take all the help I can get." " Garibaldi." " Please report to the briefing room." "On my way." "Well, duty calls." "History calls." "What do you think?" "Most of the personnel will be no trouble." " This one, however..." " Anything you can't handle?" "Her record's spotless." "There's no need to include her." "That's not your decision, and she will be included." "Records don't tell the whole story." "That's why you're here, Mr. Gray." "As you wish." "When do we begin?" "As always, Mr. Gray, when the time is right." "It was the dawn of the Third Age of mankind 10 years after the Earth-Minbari War." "The Babylon Project was a dream given form." "Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences." "It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers." "Humans and aliens, wrapped in 2,500,000 tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night." "It can be a dangerous place." "But it's our last, best hope for peace." "This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations." "The year is 2258." "The name of the place is Babylon 5." "Mars confirmed that the attack on station Phobos is tied to terrorist incidents directed against Earthforce." " Free Mars?" " They' re not sure." "Last year independence movements sprang up some more radical than Free Mars." "Earthforce is concerned that Babylon 5 will become a source of arms." "It'll be difficult to stop." "Aliens have the right to sell arms on B-5 as long as all transfers take place off-station." "Earth Central has implemented an embargo on arms shipments to Mars." "We can't stop a sale, but we can notify Earthforce of ships carrying weapons." "I want all cargos and flight logs checked." "Watch for arms dealers and smugglers, and track arrivals from Mars colony." "Will do." "How long have you been here, Officer Welch?" "Since B-5 went online." " Do you like it?" " It beats a kick in the teeth." "How about Commander Sinclair?" "Does he beat a kick in the teeth?" " Do I know you?" " Aaron Franks, Quartermaster Corp." "We hope to supply the station and I'm trying to find things out." " I'm trying to eat my lunch." "Quietly." " I'm sorry to bother you." "This is Lou Welch." "Patch me through to Garibaldi." "And the last gasoline-powered motorcycle was built in 2035." "In popular Earth culture, the motorcycle was seen as a symbol of independence of spirit, freedom, sexual prowess and rebellion." ""Sexual prowess and rebellion."" " Hey, Jax." " Mr. Garibaldi." " That guy, what did he want?" " He said he was Aaron Franks." "He asked about Commander Sinclair, how often he stops by." "It didn't make much sense, but that's nothing new around here." "Thanks." "Commander, we have a problem." "Some guy named Aaron Franks is asking odd questions." " What kind of questions?" " About you." "He arrived from LeGrange 2 with Harriman Gray." "They represent Quartermaster Corporation." "As far as I can tell, they' re legit." "QM Corporation is a military supplier." "They could be looking for a contract." "Or they' re arms smugglers." "LeGrange 2 is a stone's throw from Mars." "Talk with Mr. Franks." "But walk softly." "The last thing we need is a corporate lawsuit." "Yes?" "This is Security Chief Garibaldi." "I'd like to speak to Aaron Franks." "He's not in." "In that case, I'd like to speak to you." "A moment, please." "Open." "Mr. Gray?" "Can I help you with something?" "You' re a business agent for Quartermaster?" "Yes, we' re hoping to get a military contract." "Why haven't you spoken to Sinclair?" "You've been here three days." " Aaron, this is" " Mr. Garibaldi." "Very good." " You know me?" " Intimately." " Fix you a drink?" " I don't drink." "Really?" "Good." "It's a vile habit when abused." "It makes a soldier weak." "Gets him in a lot of trouble." "You're starting to irritate me." "I don't like being irritated." "The name isn't Franks." "It's Colonel Ari Ben Zayn, Earth Internal Affairs." " You're Eyes?" " I'm an internal investigator." "Mr. Gray is a military specialist from Psi Corps." "We' re here to make an investigation of Babylon 5 command staff." "Recent events on Mars colony show a need for increased scrutiny of all off-world installations." "Investigations are happening on all outposts." "We must know who is loyal to Earthforce and who isn't." "As commander, I vouch for the loyalty of every member of my staff." "I resent your tactics." "You have no right to snoop around." "I have every right." "My authority comes directly from the Joint Chiefs of Staff." "I'm not here to persecute anyone." "I want to ask questions and clarify a few details." " It's all fairly routine." " Why is Psi Corps in this routine?" "Regulations prohibit the use of telepaths." "There are new regulations, Ivanova." "All staff must submit to telepathic scan as part of an investigation." " Command staff as well." " The hell I will." " Psi Corps may be running the world" " Ivanova." "I'll check these new regulations, colonel." "I'll have someone show you to new quarters in Blue Sector." " Garibaldi will escort me." " Garibaldi has duties." "Not anymore." "I'm assigning him to my staff for this investigation." "What?" "I like his style." "Garibaldi is essential to the operation of this station." "Is there some problem with Babylon 5 security?" " You made no mention of it." " No, there's no problem" "Then Garibaldi's second can handle it." "I need him to expedite this matter." "I'll present you with an interview schedule shortly." "You may carry on, commander." "Mr. Gray." "Mr. Garibaldi." "A pleasure to meet you all." "By God, if I ever find out who's behind this circus act!" "I won't submit to a telepathic scan." "It's against my principles." "I don't like it either." "Enough people have played with my brain already." "Return to duty." "I won't let it happen." "To either of us." "Computer, subject." "Earthforce law." "Accessing files." " You' re not happy about this." " Do I have permission to speak freely?" "I expect the truth whenever you talk to me." "Then this is a big pile of horse hockey." "Who the hell's running Earthforce, Abbott and Costello?" "Abbott and Costello, I like them." "I require all your files regarding Babylon 5 staff including classified files." " You'll have it in the morning." " Tonight!" "Do it personally." " When they're compiled, bring them here." " Yes, sir." " Mr. Garibaldi." " Mr. Lennier?" "Something wrong with the security for Shaal Mayan?" "No, they're quite satisfactory." "I wish to speak with you about the bike." " What about it?" " I believe I could assemble it." " Though I'm confused on a few points." " I'm too busy for this right now." "Then perhaps I could begin the work for you." "With Delenn gone, my duties are small." "It'd be good to be of use." " I don't think" " I'm fascinated by this vehicle." "Do you realize that it was a symbol of masculinity at one time?" "Okay." "I'll clear you for access to my quarters." "But if you damage" "I assure you I will exercise extreme caution." "And thank you, very much." "Computer, this is Michael Garibaldi, chief of security." "Confirm I. D." "Confirmed." "Command?" "Transfer all files on Earthforce personnel stationed on Babylon 5 to crystal port." "Include secure files." "Please input proper code and password." "Peekaboo." "Commencing." "Transfer will take 1.4 hours." "Sector 2, we 're all green down here." " Meanwhile, load Interweb program." " Parameters?" "Info on Ari Ben Zayn, Earthforce Internal and Harriman Gray, Psi Corps military specialist." "The usual sources." "Code all responses Gold-2." "Acknowledged." "Commencing Interweb link." "Confirmed, Epsilon." "Clear to begin zero-G cargo transfer." "Lieutenant commander?" "Civilians are not allowed on the observation dome." "Please go." "As the colonel's liaison I have the right." "So relax, I just wanted to look at the stars for a moment." " They never lose their beauty." " Mr. Gray, I am very busy." "I'm aware of your hostility toward Psi Corps and the reason for it." " And I sympathize." " Nice." "I'll send you a birthday card." "You know, when I was a boy, I dreamed of being a combat pilot." "I built models of every space fighter available." "I collected squadron patches." "It was all I ever wanted." "When I was 16, I applied to Air Dome and I was accepted." "And then my talent manifested itself the first month and telepaths aren't allowed, so I was expelled." "I'm so sorry." "It's not easy to have your dreams snatched away." "I didn't take it well." "Then the Corps came." "They said I could still serve as a Psi Corps liaison." " A boyhood dream come true." " It saved my life." "Gave me a purpose." "It's not the same as your soldiering, but it's part of a dream." " Is there a point to this story?" " I want you to know I love the Force." " And respect the people who serve it." " Nice speech." "The colonel write it?" "No." "But he insists everyone be scanned." "Just accept that." "Now, I give you my word, I'll respect your privacy." "The thoughts I'll look for are concerned with your duties." "And given your record, I'm certain you have nothing to fear." "I'm grateful Psi Corps has given you a purpose in life." "But when that includes scanning my mind it's an invasion of my privacy and my honor." "If you enter my mind for any reason I will twist your head off and use it for a chamber pot!" "If you'll excuse me..." "These Vorlons have been trouble since they arrived." "Yeah, well, they' re like that." "Real fun guys." "Yet Sinclair didn't protest their actions in the DeathWalker affair." "Protests are as much use with them as wings on a cement truck." "If you have anything else to ask about his decisions, ask him." "I intend to." "At 1200." "Inform him, then get some sack time." "I'll want you there too." "If I knew who God was, I'd thank her." "You look like the back end of an Orion slich." "And a gracious good morning to you." "I've been with Colonel Ben Hitler." " He wants you at 1200." " The sooner we get this disposed of..." " ... the sooner we're back to our jobs." " This is no routine investigation." "He's questioning everything, from Raghesh 3, DeathWalker, the strike to the sabotage attempt." " He's questioning all your decisions." " They' re all approved on the record." "That won't stop him." "Eyes are like judge and jury." "They twist the facts and always assume you have something to hide." " Maybe we do." " Explain." "You're a by-the-book guy, but let's face it." "We rewrote the book to make B-5 work." "And made enemies along the way." "You know what's happening in the Alliance." "The president's being attacked on all sides Earth Central's falling apart, anti-alien groups are spreading." " Guys like Ben Zayn thrive in that." " More reason to stand up to him." "Earth's problems aren't solved by trampling on human dignity." "What about Psi Corps?" "Ironheart warned us about them." " I'll deal with them too." " Look, this time you walk soft, Jeff." "I've seen this kind of witch-hunt before." "I'm checking a few sources to find some data on these guys." "I appreciate it." "We'll come through it all right." " Now, get some sleep." " Oh, I intend to." "Mr. Garibaldi, I was about to embark on the mysteries of fuel injection." " Would you care to join me?" " Embark on a journey to your quarters." "Forgive me." "My enthusiasm has made me insensitive to your needs." "I will leave at once." "When may I begin the work again?" "If I kill him I would start a war." "Come back after 1200." "Domo Arigato." "Not bad." "Not bad." "Susan!" "Susan Ivanova!" "Suzotchka." "Momma?" "Suzotchka." "Will it make the voices go away?" "No, it will make them sing like birds, Sofie." "A shame if you refuse to cooperate." "Momma, don't let them do it." "Don't let them!" "Don't interfere, soldier." "The colonel insists." "Momma!" "Only one way out." "Only one way." "Momma?" "Momma!" "She'll be fine." "Now, do you hear the birds?" "A real shame." "Momma, it's me, Susan." "Only one way out." "Only one way." "Momma?" "Lights." "Article 35 of the Earthforce code states that a hearing must be held before five senior officers." " In some instances" " Come." "My apologies, commander, but this matter can't wait." " What's this about?" " I wish to resign my commission." " What?" " I had a talk with Mr. Gray." "He said the colonel insists that I be scanned." "I cannot allow that, and this is the only way to avoid it." " I refuse to accept your resignation." " I'm within my rights." "I won't have Psi Corps probing me." "I won't have you ruin your career or leave Babylon 5." "I've found a way to avoid the scans within the regulations." " Are you sure?" " Yes." " May I have your PPG to shoot myself?" " That won't be necessary." "This time." "Thank you, commander." " Susan." " Yes." "Why are you afraid of being scanned?" "Your mother must have made contact." "Yes, she did." "You can't imagine what it's like to share your own mother's love for you." "To feel it in your thoughts." "No one's been that close to me, commander." "And no one must ever intrude upon that memory, especially Psi Corps." " Aren't you tired of studying that?" " Sinclair is a complex man." "I need to know everything about him." "Including his secrets." " Psi Corps rules prohibit deep scans" " Don't be naive, Harriman." "They want this as much as I do." "Sinclair got one of your people killed." "Mr. Bester will appreciate anything you can turn up." "Bester?" " Colonel." " Commander, please take a seat." "I will, as soon as Mr. Gray leaves the room." "You did check the regulations, didn't you, commander?" "Thoroughly." "I also checked Earthforce law and the opinion of the Senate Military Bureau." "They state that scans are allowed only to determine the truth of charges." "They are not meant as a blanket for loyalty checks." "Interpreting regulations for a senior officer could be considered insubordination." "No." "I am exercising command privilege to question a new regulation as outlined by Article 35." "It requires a hearing before five senior officers." "Until then, I'm within my rights to refuse a scan on myself or on any member of my crew." "I believe that the commander is correct." "Psi Corps doesn't consider it carte blanche." "I don't remember asking for your opinion, Mr. Gray." "Very well." "We'll play your game for the moment." "Gray, you're dismissed." "Mr. Garibaldi, you will join me as an official witness to this interview." "We wouldn't want the commander to feel his rights were violated." "Commander?" "We will begin with your actions during the Raghesh 3 incident." "Hi." "Commander Ivanova, may I sit down?" "Aren't you supposed to be peeking into someone's mind?" "You're very charming, in an odd way." "The fact is, I've been dismissed." "Sinclair knows the regulations well." "The commander prizes knowledge and honesty." "So I noticed." "I'll savor the look on the colonel's face." "Few stand up to him." "It was very refreshing." "I'm curious." "You're not like most Psi Corp people." " You don't seem fond of the colonel." " I'm not." "He's efficient but lacks compassion." "I wonder if he's even human." "As for Psi Corp, I doubt you know our people well, especially Ms. Winters." " You're scanning me!" " Ms. Winters was loud in your mind." "I couldn't help but pick it up." "Please forgive me." "I am surprised you were aware of it." "Unless" "She must have been in your mind before she was given the sleepers." " Your mother." " You are never to discuss my mother!" "Is that clear?" " Ivanova." " You 're needed in the dome." "You allocated 1.3 million credits from the military budget to settle an illegal strike." "You consider that responsible?" "I was given authority to end the strike by any means necessary." "Sinclair." "We've had a development on an arms deal." "Sinclair is in the middle of an investigation and can't be disturbed." " Whatever it is, handle it." " I've had enough of this." "You' re interfering with the operation of this station" "Sit down, commander." "You haven't been dismissed." "The hell I will." "You have a complaint, make it." "Otherwise this interview is over." "Stand fast, mister!" "I've seen plenty like you." "Hotshots, promoted through the ranks without any real ability." "You think because you fought on the Line, standards don't apply." "Think again." "As of this moment, I am relieving you of command pending an inquiry before a tribunal." " What?" " You heard me." "I'm assuming command of Babylon 5." "As of now, I'm in charge." " You son of a" " Whoa." "Easy, Jeff." "He's trying to bait you and he's hoping you swallow it whole." "What's your justification?" "I am working with the authority of the Joint Chiefs." "I also outrank you." "Article 52, "A commander found working against the interests of Earthforce may be removed from his post by a superior officer."" " Give me a break." "You can't prove it." " I can, with the help of Mr. Gray." "As I am bringing specific charges, the regulations on telepathic scan apply." "We will re-convene here in one hour to continue this investigation." "One more thing." "Mr. Sinclair will be confined to his quarters." "He's not to take part in command or have contact with Babylon 5 staff, yourself included." "Understood, Mr. Garibaldi?" "Things are worse than I thought." "I'll have to go to HQ." "See if your sources uncovered anything." "But first get to the dome." "Ivanova." "I'll expect reports from all your stations by 1700 sharp." "That's all for now." " What's going on?" " I wish I had a clue." "At 1500, Mr. Garibaldi will escort you to Blue 8 for a formal inquiry." "Mr. Gray will also be present." "I'll be in my quarters until then." "Whatever he's after, he's pulling out all the stops." " I won't submit." " That's insubordination." "I'll be dishonorably discharged." "A very Russian ending." "I should've expected it." "Station 1, ask Major Atambe to take my post." "Whoa!" "Ivanova!" "Hey, wait up." " Are you leaving your post?" " Yes, I am." "I've been proud to be Earthforce, but now I'd sooner serve the Minbari." "You once offered to buy me a drink, Garibaldi." "If that offer still stands, I think I could use one." "Yeah, sure." "I'll meet you in the casino." "I gotta check something." "In the meantime, just stay cool, all right?" "All right?" "Okay." "We can beat this together." "Somehow." "These are difficult times." "You've ruffled some feathers in command." " This was bound to happen." " You have the authority to stop it." "The president's Trade and Immigration Act is up for vote." "He needs support." "If I intervene in this matter, it'll cost him." "What?" "Are you serious?" "These investigations have powerful backing." "Given the situation on Mars, we agreed to go along with them." "We can't back out now." "We know you 're doing a good job, and I'm sure you'll be exonerated." "And I promise I'll do all I can to help when the time is right." "Good luck, Jeff." "Come on, baby." "Yeah!" "Three nebulas in a row." "I am hot tonight." "Pay up." "Come on, I'll buy you a drink." "Another one." "Hey, careful." "I am hot." "Check out the cute commander." " Cute?" " Oh, yeah." " You're early." " Picked up something on the Interweb." "You and Ben Zayn have something in common." " What?" " You were both up for command here." "He was in the top 10." "You were below that." "You also have a mutual friend." "Bester." "The Psi Cop?" "He assigned Gray to Ben Zayn." "They' re buddies." "Remember Bester saying he'd see you again?" " Well, I smell a con job here." " I'd bet on it." "He said I'd hear from him after his partner was killed." "Maybe the colonel is his revenge." "But what can I do?" "This is all circumstantial." "It proves nothing unless" " Garibaldi." " We have a big problem in the casino." "Ivanova." "I forgot all about her." "I'm on my way." "Ivanova." " Are you going to arrest me?" " No." "I wanna live to see the future." "I want to reason with you, recite passages from my favorite reading." " For as long as it takes." " You don't play fair." "I surrender." " Oxy pill." "This'll pull you together." " For my court-martial?" "For the commander's last shot." "Clean up this trash." " Commander." " Mr. Gray." "Thought I'd find you here." "Talia Winters says most telepaths like to feel the acoustics of a room." "The talent is delicate." "It can be affected." "You' re good at it." "That's why Mr. Bester assigned you this job." "You must be mistaken." "I don't know him personally." "Odd." "He and the colonel are very good friends." "Maybe you're scanning the wrong people." "Harriman, take your place." "Sinclair, if you please." "All recorders on." "Send in Lieutenant Commander Ivanova and Mr. Garibaldi." "This interview will cite specific charges against Mr. Sinclair and he and his staff will submit to telepathic scan to determine the validity of these charges." "Mr. Gray." "I won't scan you deeply." "I'll only verify your responses." "It won't hurt unless you resist." "Answer truthfully and try to avoid strong emotion." "Will you be scanning the colonel as well?" " What' re you playing at?" " You' re the commander of Babylon 5." "Regulations say involved staff may be scanned." " And you' re involved up to your neck." " That will be all, mister." " You' re here to answer questions." " The intent of a question is important." "If I were to ask you why you turned an investigation into a personal hunt" " You flatter yourself." " Do I?" "It stuck in your craw when you were passed over for Babylon 5 for a " hotshot without any real ability."" " I'm warning you." " There was nothing you could do." "Until Bester thought of a way to get even for you." " You' re insane." " Maybe I am." "Maybe it's crazy to think that Earthforce respects honor when a maggot like you can spit on its best officers." " All for the sake of your ambition." " I'll have you executed for this." "I faced death on the Line." "Where were you, colonel?" "Picking trash out of garbage cans to prove who was loyal and who wasn't?" "I got this leading people into battle, Sinclair." "In Israel, on New Jerusalem, Cyrus 3 and a hundred more." "I saw more death than you but I won my battles and deserved this command." "I deserved it!" "But thanks to the Minbari, you got it!" "Yes, I know all about you and the Minbari." "You won't be doing their bidding much longer." "I'm commander now!" " And all your lies won't change that." " It's you who's lying, colonel." "I can feel the hatred in you." "It's sick, filthy." "You're in my mind, you little" " Stay where you are!" " Colonel, it's over." "It's over for you, Sinclair." "I'll have all of you up before a tribunal." " Go ahead." " He can't get all of us." "Famous last words from a trio of mutineers." "Colonel." "Pain." "I assume the investigation is concluded?" "Behold the Ninja ZX-11." "What've you done?" " You are not pleased?" " I said to work on it, not finish it." " I do not understand." " I wanted to build it myself." "It was kind of a purpose in my life." "Now it's done." "I have made a grievous error." "Please forgive me." "Never mind." "You did a beautiful job." "It's great, isn't it?" "Huh?" " It's too bad we can't ride it." " It's quite rideable." "You came up with some gas?" "Gasoline is harmful to both living beings and the atmosphere." "I have installed a Minbari power source instead." "Clean and efficient." " Get out of here." " Yes, of course." "No, wait." "I didn't mean go, I meant..." "Never mind." "Give me a hand with this, huh?" "I never thought I'd be grateful to Psi Corps." "I hope this isn't bad for Mr. Gray." "The record shows the colonel overstepped himself and a psychiatric scan should confirm his mental state." " And Bester?" " Bester won't come out of the shadows." "And there are bound to be some questions raised over this." "It's good to have things back to normal."
