  Capt. John Sheridan : Captain's personal log. We're almost ready to strike. The next few days will either mark the beginning of a new age or the death of everything we've worked for.

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : We just got a report from a ship passing through Sector 900 on the edge of Vorlon space. I suppose it was inevitable, with the Vorlons attacking Shadow bases all over the place and wiping out whole colonies where Shadows have influence. They were bound to strike back. It's like two giants fighting in a sandbox. They don't even care who's getting stepped on anymore.

  Capt. John Sheridan : When I took command of Babylon 5 I found a note on my desk. Someone had left it there for me. It was a poem by Tennyson. I still remember the last part of it: "Though we are not now of that strength, Which in old days moved earth and heaven, That which we are, we are. One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, But strong in will, To strive, to seek, To find and not to yield."
