Cast NotesEdit



In a meeting of the burgeoning Interstellar Alliance, several of the former Non-Aligned Worlds, led by the Drazi ambassador, refuse to sign the Declaration of Principles, demanding technological advances immediately.



Act IEdit



White Star 90 arrives through the jumpgate, needing emergency medical assistance. It is the Ranger from the alien world, badly hurt.

Act IIEdit


Lyta Alexander scans the Ranger and discovers the plight of the aliens from the Raiders. The aliens have decided to fight back and it is not going well for them. They wish to join the Alliance, offering to share stores of knowledge that they possess. Alexander then sees the Ranger's image standing in MedLab and talks to him. He worries that he is dying and tells Alexander that the people on the alien world are good people and that he wants his death to be good, to have meaning. Alexander sees him enter a white portal in one of the Medlab doors and he dies.


Act IIIEdit

Sheridan speaks to the Drazi Ambassador about the Enphili to get his government's permission to aid the Enphili. The Drazi Ambassador leaves, discretely followed by Byron.

Garibaldi finds Alexander in a restaurant, still dazed from her experience with the Ranger. He jumps right in saying he has a job for her, but Alexander is not in the mood. She notes that she is not supposed to know what he saw, no one is supposed to know. She describes it to Garibaldi, saying that a piece of her soul went with the Ranger when he died. She feels like she herself is partially empty now for what she saw, something she has only ever seen twice. Other telepaths she knew who had seen it multiple times were never the same, in fact, that is how Bester became the way he is. Garibaldi tries to get Alexander to convince Byron to help with the intelligence effort, but she is less than interested. Garibaldi promises that it will be the last favor he will ever ask of her (until the next one), and she agrees to help.




Byron confronts Alexander about keeping out all of the telepaths. She asks about Garibaldi's proposal. He begins lecturing her on how she takes orders and that she deserves better. He tells her that the telepaths must help each other by caring for one another, demanding to know if it matters to Alexander if he helps Garibaldi. She does and he agrees to aid Garibaldi's intelligence gathering force. Before Alexander can leave, Byron tells her that the Drazi are setting a trap for the White Stars.

Act IVEdit


As Raider ships move toward the Enphili camp, the Enphili watch as dozens of jump points open, White Stars coming to their rescue.


Act VEdit

Sheridan still sits in the room, holding the Declaration, looking unhappy. Delenn joins him, remarking at the pile of signed Declarations in front of him. She laments that his celebration is so somber. Sheridan is unhappy that both of their problems were solved by telepaths and that Garibaldi might be right. G'Kar bursts in, collecting the signed documents but also saying that they have to sign them again. The Declaration has undergone a new revision and is better. Skeptical at first, Sheridan and Delenn take a brief glance at it and have to agree. G'Kar runs off, the scrolls in tow. Delenn tells Sheridan that he was going to talk to Garibaldi about the telepath situation and Sheridan worries about it.

Back in Brown Sector, Alexander returns to Byron and they talk about his ideas some more, Alexander intrigued. She follows him to one of their meetings.
