Vir Cotto, Michael Garibaldi and others in “Sleeping in Light”

Vir Cotto

You know, Londo never liked the Pak'ma'ra. They're stubborn, lazy, obnoxious, greedy—

Michael Garibaldi

They kinda look like an octopus that got run over by a truck.

Vir

That too! But one day, Londo and I were walking past their quarters, and we heard them…singing.

John Sheridan

Singing? They can sing?

Stephen Franklin

There's nothing in the literature about that.

Vir

Apparently, it's something they only do certain times of the year as part of their religious ceremonies. You may not believe this, but, it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. I-I-I couldn't make out the words, but I knew it was full of sadness and hope and wonder and a terrible…sense of loss. I-I looked at Londo, and, this is the amazing part…there was a tear running down his face. I said, "Londo, we-we should leave. I mean, this is upsetting you." And he just stood there and listened. And when it was over, he turned to me and he said, "There are 49 gods in our pantheon, Vir. To tell you the truth, I never believed in any of them. But if only one of them exists, then God sings with that voice." It's funny. After everything we had been through…all he did? I miss him.

Sheridan

A toast. To…absent friends. In memory still bright.

Garibaldi
