“Come into my egalitarian non-mundane parlour …”Yeah, this is going to end poorly. Ultimately he turns on the charm, lets Lyta know she’s welcome there, agrees to make a couple of his people available to the IA - and, as a favor, offers to Lyta what he read in the Drazi ambassador’s head.īyron turns on the charm.Lyta doesn’t fall for Byron’s pitch hook, line, and sinker - and, to be fair, Sheridan thanks Lyta for passing on the info from Byron about the Drazi - but by the end of the episode she’s back to chat with Byron some more about his Telepath Collective and the Workers Revolution he’s fomenting.
(Literary Title Warning! And SF-Friendly Quotation!)Īnd then he notes how inhuman the “paragon of animals” has been to its own kind - and to teeps, which Byron considers a different class of being. What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! He stokes those flames, alternating between semi-abusive control behavior, and saying some not-very-nice things about mundanes, including a mocking reading from Hamlet: What could go wrong? Nervous Drazi ambassador is nervous.īyron’s happy to meet her - and even happier to try and recruit her to his cause, playing on her (not unwarranted) grievances of being the person that everyone else kind of ignores until they suddenly need a telepath, no matter how dangerous or awful the job. G’Kar quickly passing out copies to be signed or (with a nod toward prosthetic gloves) stamped.Everyone wins!Įxcept the Drazi. “Just hold still while we rendezvou with you …”That provides Sheridan with a way to put the screws to the Drazi … and to get everyone to sign off on the Declaration of Principles. And purple.”… that the raiders are actually backed by the Drazi, and the rendezvous will be an ambush by the Drazi fleet. “I spy, with my mind’s eye, something that is green. He notifies the Drazi ambassador, since the system is on the edge of Drazi space the ambassador asks that they rendezvous with a Drazi fleet first, and then they can act together.īut some overheard thoughts by Byron (see “B-Plot”) reveals the truth … He makes plans to send the whole White Star fleet (since a single one got pretty trashed) to intercept the raiders. Sheridan realizes this is a first make-or-break challenge to the IA, if they really do stand for the principles he thinks they must. The raiders are coming back one last time, and fear of genocide is in the air. When they tried to fight back, their cities and civilization were destroyed. The planet has evidently been being raided for years for crops and resources. Things get more heated when a planet under siege by raiders manage to get word out by Ranger of their plight.Įvil raiders, who actually are evil enough (or rendered early enough) to be included in the main titles for the season.The Ranger and his shattered White Star barely make it to B5, and the Ranger dies on the Medlab table - but not before Lyta Alexander (see “B-Plot”) reveals what’s going on. The Drazi, in particular, resent being told what principles they should abide by. Hope, you like it.A-Plot: Sheridan is herding cats, trying to get a Declaration of Principles for the Interstellar Alliance written by G’Kar while the various IA members squabble over even the need for such a thing - seeing the IA as a way to get high tech sharing (to them) without necessarily making any sort of moral commitment beyond that mere pragmatism.
While I could keep talking a while longer, that's not what you're here for, so here's a shiny blue button for you. Want to keep in touch? Don't add me, join me. Nice comments on my profile are appreciated, pseudo-reviews starting with "+rep" a bit less - we're not at ebay, and five-star ratings don't matter here. If there's any other issues, it helps if you got public comments on your profile. My internet connection is not a fast one, and inventories take forever to load, which means, I will more likely refuse a cross set offer right away (unless it's a really tempting one) than send a counteroffer. Duplicates for me are okay, but if you can avoid them, it's even better, as this allows me a broader selection for others.
I do have a Steam authenticator (and after years am still unhappy to be forced to one), but will accept offers from those who got trade holds just as well. Do you need a duplicate exchanged to complete your set or just because? Send me an offer and I will accept around somewhere between two minutes and twenty-four hours. I am here to annoy those, who try to make a profit through trades and as a side effect help you out.
Header will be kept up to date in format: card numbers of this set in stock (+ cards on hold, will be listed below the trade button once more) This offer applies to all cards in my inventory.
