"When the greatest Warrior leader the Minbari ever had dies suddenly while on a diplomatic tour, it's natural they'd want to honor him on his journey home."
"A war cruiser. Never thought I'd see one of those again."
"Agreed. This is Babylon Control to Minbari war cruiser Ingada: your gun ports are in attack position. We have activated our defense system. Please explain."
"Then why are your gun ports open?"
"Barely."
"We'll be there."
"Station One, keep scanning that ship. If their tracking system so much as blinks in our direction--"
"I know. He commanded one of the ships that splashed my team. But the war is over. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Giving the Minbari this courtesy is a sign of respect. It'll help strengthen the reconciliation of our two worlds."
"And worthy that you would honor the importance of this place with his presence."
"Thank you. Tell me, who is Alyt Neroon?"
"Of course."
"Branmer was a hard, canny enemy. It's hard to forget that."
"It's not traditional?"
"You don't like it do you?"
"Station your people in all the access ports. Be sure to check--"
"Alyt. I�trust you found everything to your satisfaction."
"Mr. Garibaldi...diplomacy. Anything else you'd like?"
"This is my station. I�don't take orders here."
"This isn't the Line."
"How'd you like to--"
" I think . . . I have a station to run. Now if you'll excuse me.�"
"What?"
"Are you threatening to make war over this?"
"Garibaldi was right. He said this was going to be trouble."
"Hmm."
"I agree. But does she have any other choice?"
"I know. Do what you think is right. I'll back your play."
"Why would anyone want to take Branmer's body if he was that highly regarded?"
"All right."
"There are elements on Earth who feel that way. The Home Guard for one. But if they were responsible for this they would have broadcast the news right away. But no one's come forth to claim credit for taking this great general's body."
"I�heard it was the Religious caste who issued the surrender order. Branmer agreed?"
"And Neroon?"
"But now with Branmer gone, I get the feeling Neroon is spoiling for a rematch."
"Mr. Garibaldi will do his job. A search of all public areas and quarters had to be done first. Now they're looking at the station structure itself. If Security has to take this place apart and put it back together again, they will."
"I don't take kindly to threats, Alyt."
"Lights."
"What the hell do you thing you're doing?"
"Escort the Alyt back to his quarters. We'll continue the search without his help."
"Ms. Beldon?"
"Shipping something home, Ambassador?"
"I think we need to talk."
"Quite a trick. Stealing Branmer's body and cremating it without anyone noticing. Why?"
"Delenn...Neroon wants an answer; you have it. What am I supposed to do? Hide the facts? You've put us in a difficult situation."
"There is no shame in wanting to honor him, Alyt Neroon. I fought on the Line against Branmer. I saw his valor and leadership first hand. Because his body disappeared here, I feel some responsibility toward the Minbari people. There is no higher testimony to a warrior's courage and skill than praise from his enemy. I would like to send that message to your homeworld. In a personal messsage. A testimony to the Shai Alyt."
"And as Commander of Babylon 5."
"We've fought long enough. Maybe it's time we started talking with one another. Branmer's life was more significant than his battles. Let the Warrior cast praise his courage in war, and let the rest praise him for what he truly was: a man of peace."
"We like to think so."
"I thought you'd be seeing Neroon's cruiser off."
"Me too."
"Oh?"
"So I'm told."
"And..."
"In order? Yes and no."
"I don't need to be a telepath to figure that one out."
"The future in exchange for the past. I think that's very workable."
"Hi. Just wanted to say, 'Safe journey.'"
"Alisa, ther's something I've been wondering. When you looked into Delenn's mind, did you see anything else? Anything unusual?"
"It's a cocoon, I think."
"I don't know."
"Good luck!" [laughter]
"Chrysalis."
