 Story:
Worlds continue to fall to the might of the Vorlon fleet,
but on the station, Garibaldi grows increasingly frustrated. Sheridan's return has generated an almost messianic
fervor, yet Garibaldi's return has been met with concern
and barely-veiled suspicion. On Centauri Prime, Morden
comes to Londo and asks
for a Centauri fleet to protect the Shadow presence on
the Centauri homeworld. Londo disapproves, and Cartagia
backs him up - on the incredible premise that Centauri
Prime will serve as his inaugural pyre when the Shadows
ascend him from the throne to godhood. Sheridan decides
that measures must be taken to secure Babylon 5 from Vorlon attack - so their ambassador
must leave the station, by force if necessary. The Vorlon
repels a relatively courteous call from Garibaldi and his
troops, attempting to remove it from its quarters. Londo
contacts Sheridan, hoping that the captain has formulated
some plan to repel the Vorlon fleet from Centauri Prime,
but Sheridan can offer no guarantees. Lyta lures the Vorlon into open ground, where a
combination of electrocution and massive firepower
destroys its encounter suit and sets it loose inside the
station. Sheridan, who has been carrying the original
Kosh inside him since its death, frees Kosh to expel the
Vorlon ambassador, and after shooting through the station
into space, both Vorlons perish in the struggle. Londo
convinces Cartagia to visit Narn and conduct G'Kar's trial and execution there. And after the
battle with the Vorlon ambssador has ended, Sheridan
reveals to Delenn the
terrible cost of his trip to Z'ha'Dum.
