younger worlds are at war, the Narns have fallen, even the Humans are fighting one another. The pride was yours, the presumption was yours. For a thousand years we have been
awaiting the fulfillment of prophecy, and when it finally happens, you scorn it, you reject it, cause you no longer believe it yourselves. 'We stand between the candle and the star,
between the darkness and the light.' You say the words but your hearts are empty, your ears closed to the truth, you stand for nothing but your own petty interest. `The problems of
others are not our concern.' I do not blame you for standing silent in your shame, you who knew what was coming, but refused to take up the burden of this war. If the Warrior Caste
will not fight, then the rest of us will! The Council has lost it's way, if it will not lead, if we have abandoned our covenant with Valen... then the council should be broken! As was
prophesied. We must stand with the others now, before it's too late. Between the Worker Caste and the Religious Caste we control two-thirds of our forces. And to you I say: Listen
to the voice of your conscience. Break the council, come with me, our time of isolation is over. We move now, together, or not at all!" - Ambassador Delenn, Babylon 5
