[As the immediate danger is cleared.]

Sheridan

Damage report.

David Corwin

Damage to all sectors. They're still fighting in Brown Sector.

Sheridan

Get some more troops down there. Hull integrity?

Corwin

Not good. EVA teams en route. It's a good thing this stopped when it did. We couldn't take much more. [Jumpgate alarm goes off.] Oh, no!

[Outside, the jumpgate opens and three more Clark-loyal destroyers come through]

DECaptain Drake, EarthForce

This is Captain Drake to Babylon 5. You are ordered to surrender and prepare to be boarded, by order of President Clark.

[Another alarm goes off in C&C]

Corwin

Captain...jump points forming right on top of us!

Sheridan

[deflated] How many?

Corwin

Four!

[The jump points produce three Minbari cruisers and the White Star, with Delenn in the captain's chair]

Delenn

This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw...or be destroyed!

DDrake

Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship.

Delenn

Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

Elizabeth Lochley

As long as you're running an efficient operation and aren't looking for trouble, you are doing just fine.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. Around here we don't have to go looking for trouble. On B5, trouble comes looking for us.

S5 No Compromises

[The Brakiri Day of the Dead has begun, and part of the station is...off-limits.]

Lt. David Corwin

There seems to be a slight problem, sir. It's kind of hard to explain. We seem to be missing a piece of the station. We can't reach it. We can't communicate with it.

John Sheridan

That piece is almost a square mile across. You can't just lose something that big.

Lt. Corwin

I agree, but it's still missing.
