Medlab

Later on

"I said where is HE," Adrian kicks one of the security officers out into the corridor.. "You Earthforce F$%^ers are hiding him.. He killed her.. I am going to kill him slowly.."

The sound of the PPG firing into security officers fill the air..

"Damn," Garibaldi crotches down by the doorway.. He takes aim and fires.. He goes wide eyed as one of his security guards is used as a shield..

Adrian takes the Security Officer's PPG and returns fire using him as a shield.. "I said where is Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.. Answer or I kill him.."

"We have him," Garbaldi dives out of the way as a metal trey goes flying past him.. He gets hit by a PPG as he tries to roll..

"Sargent Alfie.." Adrian growled, "You betrayed me.."

Sinclair is bracing by the pylon, "Security to Medlab.."

Ambassador Kosh comes up and several of the outside security try to stop him..

"Ambassador Kosh," Sinclair calls out.. "He is hurting our.."

Kosh tries to go in.. An aura of serenity fills the area, "Amanda.."

Adrian Cleod comes flying out of medlab.. He lands on Kosk knocking his encounter suit back into the wall.. "You bastards.. You did have something to do with it.. I see it.. You lying.."

Light escapes cracks in Kosh's encounter suit and hits Adrian.. It slows his attacks..

Delenn nods to several warriors, "The warrior madness is upon him.."

The warriors split up and pull the security officers and Garibaldi from the fight.. Several attack Cleod..

Five minutes later

MacLeod stands over the fallen Mimbari Warriors still fighting the light coming from Kosh, "I will take your head Kosh.."

Sinclair is back against the wall, "Come in.."

Adrian Cleod hits sinclair with the PPG.. "Oops.. You are hiding him for them.."

Delenn just stands in front of Of Sinclair and does not move, "You shall not pass.."

A dark Aura emanates from Adrian where Kosh's light is hitting him..

Talia Winters come out on the scene with Sheena Grace..

Sheena grabs Talia's hand, [I]'Give me your strength'.[/I]. "Adrian Lambert Cleod"

As her mind reaches out to him.. "Amanda.. Your alive it was a bad dream.." The dark energy emanates from him..

Kosh is finally able to stand up.. He approaches Cleod, "Continue.."

The whole area is full of fear and hate.. Talia drops to her knees and is puking..

"Adrian," Grace walks over to Cleod.. She puts her hands on his face letting go of Talia..

Sinclair stands up as he sees this..

"Say nothing Commander," Delenn whispers..

Kosh's light seems to switch to Grace.. Adrian pulls her close to him and falls to his knees..

Grace screams as The light emanates from her.. The Darkness in Adrian tries to flee..

Sheena Grace pulls Adrian close to her as he kisses her stopping her scream..

The darkness seems to be trapped in the light from Kosh..

Kosh says something in ancient Mimbari..

Several of the Mimbari Warriors wake up..

Ambassador Delenn Gives orders and the Mimbari stand up shaking their heads.. The mimbari warriors immediately take point around Kosh.. The group quickly leaves the area..

MedLab

hour later

"Mr. Cleod is under heavy sedation, "Doctor Franklin rubs his wrist..

The Mimbari Warriors stood, stone faced, staring forward, at the entrance to the Room Adrian Cleod is in..

"Normally I would object to the guards," Doctor Franklin shook his head..

Sinclair sat in a chair, "Keep Ms. Grace in their as long as you can.. Mr. Cleod thinks she is this Amanda.. Keep him calm until I can figure out what is going on.."

"Commander," Talia winters responds.. "Psi corps will also stand the watch with the Mimbari.."

"What is Psi Corp's hiding," Garibaldi was shirtless with his shoulder bandaged..

Talia closes her eyes, "Commander.."

The door opens and another Mimbari walks in.. "Commander Jeffery Sinclair.." The middle age looking Mimbari spoke and stuck his hand out, "It is an honor to meet you Commander.."

Sinclair shook the Mimbari's hand, " Its an honor to meet you?"

"Sov will suffice," The Mimbari walked over to the Viewing area.. "Mrs. Winters.. Your services for the watch will not be required.. Ms. Sheena Grace will stay here with Mr. Cleod.. Your Government has granted the request.."

"Hang on a second," Garibaldi was not very happy. "Mr. Cleod is under arrest.. He assaulted several of my people, the Commander, Myself, and several Ambassadors.."

"Micheal Garibaldi," Sov looked in as Grace held Adrians Hand.. "Sheena Grace is is the only one here able to control Mr. Cleod. Make sure their are no disruptions to her comfort.. Mrs. Winters will brief you on the peace telepaths require for such delicate work.."

"You do not," Garibaldi Response is interrupted by the Commanders link beeping..

"Commander," Ivanova's voice comes over the link..

"Go ahead C and C," Sinclair responds..

"Four Vorlon ships have emerged. One is requesting to dock," Lt. Commander Ivanova takes a deep breath.. "The other three have taken up positions around Babylon five.."

"When it rains it pours," sinclair tries to stand..

"Your not going anywhere Commander," Franklin Gently pushes the commander back down..

"Commander Sinclair it is not necessary," Sov responds.. "Ambassador Ulkesh will temporarily assume the duties of Ambassador Kosh.. Mr. Garibaldi.. The recent incident that took place.. the Vorlon Empire and the Mimbari federation both apologize.. It appears that a rogue Being attempted to possess Mr. Cleod.."

"What.." Garibaldi shook his head, "Next I am going to be told it was the Easter Bunny high on pixie dust.. That man man attacked a lot of people today.."

In all seriousness Sov answers, "Do you think earthforce will believe that easier?"

"I want answers," Commander Sinclair growls.. "I do not appreciate being left out of the loop.. It nearly got my people killed.."

Sov closes his eyes, "Very well Commander Sinclair.. Have your command staff meet me in ambassador Delenn's quarters in Two earth hours.. Minus Doctor Franklin.." He looks to Doctor Franklin, "The Mimbari warriors will stay with you to guard the head till Ambassador Ulkesh retrieves it.."

"That was way to easy, " Garibaldi responds..

Watcher's File

Adrian Lambert Cleod

.. new Immortal. The Immortal I was assigned to was dead.. Her head was taken by something we were not ready for..

It laughed at her as it took her head.. It told me to tell the other watchers Dracul has decided to join the game.. It cut my face with her sword and left laughing

I was given six months leave.. Another three months of psych evaluations.. They tried to tell me it was shock that no such creature exist..

I have included diagrams and hand drawn pictures of the Creature..

I digress for now..

The assignment to Adrian Lambert Cleod came after he had met Duncan MacLeod and Amanda Darrieux.. Somehow this immortal had been missed just a trial of heads..

(Reference the fall of the hunters)

The watchers CSI unit's analysis indicated some serious deviations from standard combat forms.. The recreation of the battle confused the so called programs..

I had to talk with Joe Dawson.. My charge had disappeared completely off the radar..

We were forced to wait for another immortal to go for his head..

It wasnt pretty.. The sad Case of the child Immortal Kennith who is physically ten years old.. (also Read Amanda's Darrieux's file)

I witnessed my new charge in combat. Kennith used a drugged dart to knock out my charge. I had assumed..

I watched the immortal Kennith quickly come down from his hiding spot.. He tried to get close and take Adrian's head quickly.. I looked away and bit my upper lip..

Next thing I know I hear a loud bang.. I turn and I see smoke coming from Adrian's wrist and a dead child immortal..

Adrian had blown the other Immortals head off and was receiving the quickening..

(CSI later confirmed the use of some type of hollow point..)

A man had came up behind me and grabbed me.. Instinctively I turned and buried my face in his chest.

"Its ok Watcher," The male voice with a scottish accent spoke..

My subject forced himself to face us and loaded his wrist weapon. He had trouble standing.. Defiantly he did stand, "You F#$%ers are everywhere.."

The male gently moved me aside. He looked out to my new charge and spoke, "I am Conner MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.. Ducan is my cousin. "

My new assignment muttered something under his breath..

"I merely want to talk," Conner holds his hands up.. "Hows a pizza or some burger's sound?"

"Fine.." Adrian looked at the body, "You can help me dispose of the body.."

At this time sirens went off and I looked at both men, "Adrian.. You can trust Conner.."

Adrian snorts, "Hobson's choice.. Pizza and you pay.."

The two men quickly leave.. I waited till they were out of sight then screamed bloody murder..

Hours later I find Adrian and Conner eating at Duncan's MacLeods with the Immortal Methos and Joe Dawson.. I walked in as the immortals were arguing over the game..

I actually felt pride that my new assignment was with this group.. He also stood his ground and refused to give in..

Ducan MacLeod mentions the fact Amanda was going to be upset.. I saw Adrians reaction when they mentioned her name...

"She loves you MacLeod," Adrian looks away for a second. "I can smell it in the small movements and her smile when you talk with her.."

Duncan snorts.. He pauses when he see the look on Adrian's face..

I take deep breath when I realize this will cause problems.. A lot of problems..

The men in this room are all older then My charge.. Whats worse is he looks at and me and seems to acknowledge my thought with a slight nod..

Is it possible, My charge might win the game.. The money is on Kell, Kortan, or Octavius.. Ducan, Colin, and Conner are close behind them..

Is it possible?

Conference Room

Babylon Five

"We get sent here.. " Na'Toth is not happy, "Ambassador G'Kar.. You sit there and say nothing.."

"Na'toth.. " Ambassador G'Kar is deep in thought, "Vir Cotto on behalf of the Centauri made you a counter offer.. Continue.."

Na'toth got a look on her face.. "Very well.. "

"On behalf of earth force I Would like to propose we look back at the proposal for," David Corwin was interrupted by Na'Toth..

"The working agreement where both empires are paid," Na'toth growled.. "It is not enough money for our colonist.."

Vir Cotto shakes his head, "How much do you want to pay your people?"

G'Kar looks at Vir, "Mr. Cotto.. You are willing to accept the plan?"

Vir sighs, "Bad influences ambassador.. Na'Toth I have a suggestion from earth history.. We use the old earth method.. Both sides get smaller cuts like I want.."

"I do not think so," Na'toth looked at Vir..

"But the farmers and growers themselves get a bonus set to profit.." Vir grins, "After we set expenses.. Like security.."

"So you can turn around and rig the cost," Na'Toth slams her fist on the table..

"Thats the whole idea.. We.. The Centauri pay the Narn to guard our crops.. And the Narn Pay the Centauri to gaurd their crops..Same with the book keepers.." Vir sits back and looks at NaToth, "The pay will be the same for equivalents.."

Na'Toth sat for a minute and looked back to g'Kar who snorted.. "The Centauri would never agree to this.."

"I was told not to give away the homeworld.." Vir gives a customer service smile, "This is a colony world.. "

G'Kar burst out into laughter.. "Sign Na'Toth.. Quickly.. Before Londo comes to his senses and revokes Vir's authority."

Na'toth turns and looks at Vir, "Who do you suggest as the arbiters.."

"Mr. Corwin," Vir looks at the EA technician..

"I have to run this by command first.." Corwin states, "Thank you for.."

"You miss understand.. Mr. Cleod has taught me one thing.. Business is face to face with individuals.." Vir sits back and hides his fear," I mean You personally. Does Earth not want this deal cut.. "

G'Kar looks at Vir and narrows his eyes, "So an earth force member Personally Responsible.. In his private capacity.. "

"What if earthforce tries to influence him," Na'toth grins at her brilliance..

"Then we come up with a back up for the arbitration.. " Vir thinks for a second, "Lennier.. Yes Lennier is the reserve.."

G'Kar sits back, "I have a question for you Vir.. More of a personal one.. You and Mr. Cleod talk a lot.." G'Kar sits for a moment.. "The Narn government has one requirement.. Na'Toth is to work with you at Darieux Properties.. " G'Kar sits back, "Non-Negotiable.."

Ambassador Delenn's Quarters

Later on

"..That is why," Sov bows his head..

Ivanova is wide eyed, "This.." Ivanova is dumbstruck for words, "Immortals.. My god.."

Garibaldi rubs his face, "He served with my father.. The Hero of the Dilgar Wars.. The battle of Balos.."

"Proxima Three," Sinclair sits back.. "It was him.."

Delenn bows her head, "Adrian Lambert Cleod saved the military and colonist at Proxima three.. A young and impulsive warrior Challenged him.."

Sov sighs, "One of my proteges.. Dead in the span of a blink of an eye.."

"He was born in the Twentieth Century.." Ivanova looked at Sov, "How much of our history have they been involved in.."

Delenn is very quiet..

"Makes sense.. Dad made Command Sargent Major under him. said he was an honest crook.. A damn good officer.." Garibaldi shook his head, "One question.. Where did the body go from the marks.. Their weapons cut through the Pylons. They take heads."

A knock comes from the door.. Lennier opens the door and a woman in digital cameo looking poncho, with black under clothes is standing there, "May I come in..."

"I do apologize we are in the middle of," Lennier looks at the womans clothes he and her all blue eyes.. "Ambassador Delenn.."

"I am aide de camp to Ambassador Kosh and Ambassador Ulkesh," The woman responds as the door shuts. "Mr. Garibaldi.. Their was no body.. The station did not shake, did it.."

"Commander.. She is one of the acts," Garibaldi responds.. "This is a bad time December.."

December greets greets Delenn in Minbari..

Delenn exchanges greetings with December..

"To answer the question.. No head was taken.." December's eyes seem to sparkle," Yes they were involved in earths history.. Adrian Cleod played a greater role then he should have in the Earth Dilgar war.. Mr. Garibaldi, your father was personally at fault for holding him to his word.."

"Nice try," Sinclair looked at Sov. "Garibaldi was right, why was there no body if the marks were on the Station pylons?"

"A blood fued," December grits her teeth as her voice changes..

Malibu, California

Unnamed beach house

21 century

"NO!" Duncan MacLeod holds Kate's headless body, "He.. He beat her face in and took her head.."

Dawson looks away.. He see's Kate's bruised and bloodied face on her separated head.. The Clan MacLeod sword has Kate's head pinned to the cement floor..

Kate's Broken sword oddly laid next to a gun.. The stains from still slightly burning white Phosphorus rounds where in the cement base..

On the wall in Kate's blood was a simple message.

[I]'Anytime Scottsman'[/I]

"Duncan, "Joe was worried.. "Did you take Amanda's head?"

Ducan Gently lays Kate's headless body on the ground.. Joe backed up as Ducan coldly pulled his clan's sword from Kate's head.. "Where is he?"

"Duncan.." Joe looked at Kates head and closes his eyes, "She would.."

The sword stops at Joe's neck, "Stay out of the way.."

"Duncan.. You," Joe Dawson watches as Duncan walks out of the beach house..

"He went to bury Amanda," Duncan ignores Joe as he leaves hearing range.. The sound of his car starting fills the air.

From the Shadows of the hallway a man steps out with his eye's close.. "This is not good.." Wearing a top hat and out of date clothes. Using his cane he moves kates clothes on her headless body.

"Who the hell are you," Joe Dawson pulls a side arm as the man rolls Kate over.

"I am known as Sebastian," The man responds as his cane moves Kate's shirt..

"Stop," Joe dawson freezes as he see's a small eye open up on a discolored area.. "What the.."

"This is not good.." Sebastian closes his eyes.. "We were set up.." He stabs the eye with his staff..

A loud sound of pain fills the air.. then stops..

Joe starts shaking, "Set up.."

"Mr. Dawson.. We have several Problems now.." Sebastian turns towards Joe, "This will sting.." Electricity flows from the cane to Joe causing him to fall to his knees.. Then he passes out..

Delenn's Quarters

".. may not let anyone know this conversation," Delenn states coldly..

"He is not even three hundred years old," Sov chimes in..

"Surely he has had relationships with other Females since then," Susan Ivanova looks at December and then To Delenn.

"He.." Delenn struggles to find the words, "He has taken no other mates of any form.."

"She died after they raised three adopted children," Ivanova sighed.. "Over two hundreds years of being alone and faithful.. To a memory.."

"So thats how he has hid," Sinclair has his eyes closed. Trying to change the subject, "The descendants with the same last name.. After the Earth Dilgar war it was a popular name.."

Delenn has tears in her eyes, "He was questioned after Proxima Three.. Not a single emotional reaction.. No response.. Till.."

"Till Amanda's name," December speaks softly.. She turns to Garibaldi, "The Adrian Cleod must stay near the telepath Grace.. Do you understand why.."

Garibaldi is running things through his mind.. "Dad mentioned that he always told the crew he was married to the ship.. When they put in to port, Captain Cleod would drink with the men but always had to go back to the ship.." Garibaldi rubs his mouth, "The picture of a french girl in nothing but garters.. Her name was Amanda.. Now that story makes a whole lot more sense.. Dad told me that was a nasty fight.."

Sinclair looks at Garibaldi, "He carried her picture with him.. Fight?"

"One of the Generals took the picture out of his breast pocket during an inspection. Asked the Captain if it was a picture of his whore,"Garibaldi laughed.. "Dad said he broke the General's jaw.. Cracked four of his ribs.. Whole crew got into it with the inspectors.. Dad said it was fun.. He threw the second punch.."

"A warrior-monk.." Lennier bows his head, "It explains our sparing sessions so far, all we have done is meditate. Mr. Cleod told me I must learn who I am first. Every session so far he ask me a different question and I still fail.." Lennier bows to Delenn, "Each time feels like a loss.. I am being spiritually sparred."

"Your sparring sessions," Sinclair looks at Lennier..

"Yes Commander," Decembers voice changed. "It is why it is very important that this progress continue.. Sparring Sessions with Lennier, Mr. Cotto working in his shop, and his.. His.."

"He kissed the telepath.. Sheena Grace, "Susan Ivanova has her eyes opened.. "He is rejoining the human race.." She takes a deep breath, "His feud with Duncan MacLeod.." Susan looks at December, "What was meant by mistakes? Why do the Vorlons care about this.."

December pauses and looks to Sov and then to Delenn.

"What was, must be.." After a few moments Delenn speaks," The creature whose head you had is called a Drakh. Servant of a race we call the Shadows.. Its why you must not speak of these events.. The enemies must not know we know.. Otherwise they will strike now. Before anyone is ready.."

"That dark energy Kosh left with," Sinclair looks at Delenn.. "These Shadow's energy.."

"That.." December closes her eyes, "That was another problem.. The Drakh was possessed by an ancient enemy.." Seeing the disbelief, "It means we have a larger issue Commander.. Lets just say it was a jailbreak on another level.. "

"Jeff I am not buying some of this.." Garibaldi lookks at December," The Jailbreak part.. Yeah.. You and the Mimbari responded like jailers catching a prisoner December. The extra Vorlon around the station.. that I buy.. A prisoner transport, with extra guards."

Sincair holds up his hand, "Later Micheal.." Garibaldi looks at Sinclair then shuts his mouth.. "December.. I understand we are talking with the aide de camp of the Vorlons.. We are free and will each make our own decisions on this.. We have station business to attend to.. In Twenty four hours we will each contact you on other business and give you our acknowledgement."

"Thats not," December was interrupted..

Ambassador Dlenn again bows her head, "Commander Sinclair.. 24 hours.."

Earthdome

Office of the Vice President

"Mr. Morden," vice President Clark looks at the man in front of him. "I am to understand you have something to add to our Previous conversations."

"My associates have an ally two on earth who are in a position to aide you." Mr . Morden smiles, "This is Mr. David Blake CEO of the Shield Corporation.."

"Mr. Blake," Vice President Clark shakes the CEO's hand.. "This visit is a surprise.."

"Well Mr. Blake wants to discuss a few business things with you," Mr. Morden takes out a device and pushes a button. "The only conversation that will be heard or recorded is what is projected here.."

e given for centuries

"Ok," Clark looked at Blake then to Mr. Morden..

"Mr. Vice President.. We know you and the president just came off of a tough election.." Blake gave that fake smile bosses have given for centuries. "We want to help shore up your image at home and abroad.. "

"Mr. Vice President.. We think a campaign of ward healing will be very helpful.." Mr. Morden grins, "There is plenty of time and it will help make you a lot more popular.."

Clark looked at Blake," What do you want?"

"Nothing so crass Mr. Pr.. Mr. vice President," Blake smiles.. "Our friends asked us to see if we could help.. I am thinking a hearts and minds campaign around earth colonies.. A Show of us helping them.. Hospitals.. Agrifarms.. Small things.."

"Which leads to contracts and other things which all have to go through the congress," Clark took a deep breath..

"Lord no Mr. Pr.. Mr. Vice President," Blake smiles.. "We will let the big dogs fight over those bones.. Well except one thing.. It is why we are here.."

"Now Mr. Vice President.. Those contracts and other things the lower level senators and reps wont have problem being associated with.. A new memorial hospital for Veteran on Mars.. Little things that have nothing to do with the big things.. " Morden pauses, "The thing is our mutual friends do have one issue and you need to be aware of it.. The Shield Corporation has the best and most up to date access to this.."

Blake took out another device, "Mr. Vice President.. We want the exclusive rights to any research related to this.."

Clark started reading the file.. After Thirty minutes, "My god.. Immortal humans.."

"Some of them are very old Friends," Morden smiles coldly..

"This means the other races have Immortals," Clark took a deep breath..

"Thats why you need us.." Blake smiles, "We have several of them working with us. They feel like our friends do.."

"When the time comes Morgan," Morden responds.. "They are with us.. All it will cost you is a single government position.."

Clark looks at the files.. "So many of them.. " He stops at one point, "this.. My god.. Emperor Octavius.." Clark shows his fear..

"They want to work with us to prevent another Emperor Octavius," Morden responds.. "If you like we can arrange a meeting with one of them.. To help alleviate your fears."

"All I see is," Clark pauses.. Another file comes up, "The hero of the earth Dilgar war.. I remember the posters.. The reports.. He is still a hero to half the fleet today.."

"He also sat out most of the Earth Mimbari war," Blake adds..

Clark looks at the file, "He killed a mimabri warrior in one on one combat.." Clark takes a deep breath, "The man who saved the people of Proxima three.."

"We want to make sure they are in the fold this time," Morden responds..

"I want to talk with this man.. Adrian Cleod," Morgan Clark seemed like a child. "I met him once when I was younger.. Damn.. The hero of the Dilgar War.."

"That might be an issue," David Blake responds.. "We will make the arrangements for you talk with a friend of ours.."

"Why is Mr. Cleod not available to talk," Clark looked at the two men?

"We will let Mr. Kortan explain this to you," CEO Blake answers.. "Their is an issue there.."

"Who is also the man to head a new Agency or ministry," Morden calmly speaks.. "Like I said we bring them into the fold.. It will give you a counter to psi-corps and their years of experience will be invaluable .."

A week Later

Babylon Five

Fresh Air Restaurant

"Jeff.. You keep looking at that man over there. The one eating by himself.." Catherine Sakai waves to get her dates attention.. "Hello.."

Sinclair sighs, "Catherine may I.."

"Go ahead.. You have not heard the last few words I spoke," Catherine's voice did not hide her displeasure..

Commander Sinclair walks over to Adrian Cleod as he sits by himself.. "Mr. Cleod.."

Adrian Cleod stands up, "Commander.. Its good to see you moving around.." Adrian looks over his shoulder and sees Catherine Sakai, "She looks pretty.. why are you wasting time talking with me.."

Sinclair looks at Adrian Cleod, "Would you like to join us?"

"Commander your on a date," Adrian Cleod looks at the commander..

"You should know well enough not to refuse the Commanding officers invitation to join him for dinner." Sinclair smiles, "Besides.. I have met and talked with most of the Merchants on Babylon Five.. Except you.."

"Commander.. You do not owe me anything, nor I you.." Adrain smiles, "You did a good job handling that living weapon thing anyway.. "

"Thank you.. Coming from you thats a compliment," Commander Sinclair responds..

Adrian Cleod sighs.. He looks at the commander, "You are correct Commander.. When the CO invites you, no is not an option.."

Sinclair smiles as he walks over with Adrian Cleod. " Catherine.. This is Adrian Cleod.. "

Catherine Stands up nearly spitting out her drink, "Mr. Cleod.."

Adrian smiles and speaks to her, "Wǎnshàng hǎo, jiǔjǐng xiānshēng. Wǒmen jiù nǐ nà zuìhòu expidition yīxiē língqián." Adrian Cleod smiles, "Nǐ zhīdào nǐ néng mǎidé qǐ gēng hǎo de rìqí.. Rúguǒ tā bù hǎohǎo duìdài nǐ, ràng wǒ zhīdào.. Zhìshǎo zhè qízhōng yǒu duō gè lèi, nàme wǒ.. Wǒ huì gěi nǐ.."

Catherine looks at Commander Sinclair, "Relax Jeff.. Mr. Cleod is one of the people I do work for.."

Commander Sinclair looked at Mr Cleod, "I see.. Its usually rude to speak in foreign language the person invites you to the dinner table.."

"Rúguǒ nǐ zhēn de xiǎng liú zhù tā. Wǒ xiǎng wǒ kěyǐ ràng tā zúgòu fēngkuáng, kāishǐ zhàndòu. Tā kěnéng shì yīgè ménjiàng duìzhǎng.. Wǒ zhīdào yǒu jǐ gèrén shuí kěyǐ bāngzhù nǐ cóng zìmiàn shàng qiān bàn.. Nǐmen liǎng gè jiù yào jiéhūnle, tā xǐng lái de shíhòu.. Suǒyǒu fǎlǜ yīyàng.."

Catherine burst out laughing, "You have always been a scoundrel Mr. Cleod.. I assume you will be more then willing to sell us the wedding rings, provide the preacher, with the two witnesses, and the chapel for a low low cost.."

Sinclair's eyes go wide..

"Relax Commander.. " Adrian smiles, "The white picket fence is only a one time fee.. "

Catherine Sakai sits back down laughing, "The problem is the house is one issue and the property a different issue.."

"Interesting," Commander Sinclair speaks with a lot of curiosity?

"I met this young lady when she walked away from a million dollar deal.. The Shield corporation if I remember correctly.. Or was it Edgars industry," He looks at Catherine.." It doesnt matter.. They pissed her off so she walked.. I signed her up with one of my shell companies.. I forget the name.. But your young lady here made me enough money I actually had to take that three legged horse legal.."

"You have to forgive my manners madam.." Adrian takes a deep breath, "Today has never been a good day for me.. " He looks at Sinclair, "Not for a long time.. I usually get drunk and try not to crawl out of bed.."

Catherine looks over at Jeff, "Honey.. "

Sinclair sits down, "I apologize.. I didnt realize.."

"Mouthy bastards," Adrian catches the waiter.. "Put their bill on my tab.. Bring me a bottle of Real damn Jack Daniels.." He looks around at the other customers, "I will drink it out of the wine class to fit in.. Now, Tell that old fraud Wallace Adrian wants his steak like I normally have it.."

The waiter Acknowledges the statement and leaves. Another waiter shows up with a bottle of Jack, "Mr. Wallace keeps this in stock for you sir.. 2037 vintage.."

"Bring the commander and his date fresh glasses," He winks at Catherine.. "It will only take a few sips of this stuff.. he will be out like a light.."

"I will tie him down later Adrian," Catherine smiles and takes Sinclairs hand under the table.. "So who was she?"

"Catherine," Sinclair tries to speak as the waiter puts the glasses out.

"Its all right commander I have found human females are pound for pound smarter then we are.. Something about blood flow and genetics.. " Adrian winks at Catherine, "We are born brain damaged.. She sniffs me hiding and natural human cussedness gets curious.. I really do not want to be at customs.. I caused another issue I have it is safer to not be around.."

Adrian pours all three of them full wine glasses.. He downs the whole glass..

Sinclair shake his head and copies.. "Wow.."

Catherine turns around and tries to do the same.. She barely manages to get the glass down, "Thats.."

"Real whiskey.." Adrian refills the drinks, "What do you mean Mrs. Sinclair.." He nudges Sinclair..

"Your here drinking alone if Jeff had not invited you.. It means from what I gather.. Its the memory of a woman," Catherine Sakai misses Sinclair tense up..

Adrian downs another drink.. He has tears in his eyes, "She was pretty.. Like you.. " He shakes his head, "Finally got rid of that damn blonde dye job.. I still miss her.." Adrian takes out a photo, "The only damn thing the French ever made worth s#$%.."

To Sinclairs surprise Adrian hands the laminated photo over to Catherine.. He is wide eyed..

Catherine giggles when she see's the photo, "She is wearing beautiful.." Catherine Sakai shakes her head, "Beautiful garters.."

"I do not normally share that photo Ms. Sakai," Adrian Cleod sighs as he pours another drink and downs it..

Catherine hands the photo over to Sinclair.. She sees the date on the back and looks at Sinclair, "April first 2029.."

"Its.." Sinclair was more stunned it was being shared, "One hell of an April fools gag.."

"The cold Breeze helped with the photo's.. Well her natural beauty," Adrian laughed and smiled..

"She was french," Catherine asked?

"The older woman.." Adrians comment makes Sinclair laugh, "Its why Sinclair is not Jealous? Otherwise I would probably wake up on the other side of an air lock..."

"So I am not good enough for you," She turns Commander Sinclair.. "Now my feelings are hurt.."

Sinclair starts to joke then pauses, "Whats going on at customs?"

"Oh.. Its the one thing women usually mess up," Adrian takes a drink..

"Really.." Catherine looks at Adrian..

"Well Commander.. Sheena is married and her wife is arriving .." Adrian looks at his old watch, " Five minutes ago.. Both are telepaths and well.."

"Damn," Sinclair starts to move..

"Commander," Adrian speaks softly.. "I already left a message for Garibaldi to meet Mrs. Winters at the customs area.. "

Catherine puts her hand on Jeff's shoulder, "Please.."

"Let him call so he has no excuse," Adrian winks.. "Commander.. Time is short.. Snap or blink and their gone.. trust me, I could always use a drinking partner.."

A link came though for the Commander, " Garibaldi to Commander Sinclair.."

"Micheal.." Sinclair looks at Catherine, "Let Ivanova handle it.. Tell Psi Corps if they bother me for the rest of the night.. They can sleep in an open air lock.."

Garibaldi laughs, "Got you commander.. Just wanted to give you a heads up.. A nasty argument and it became a fight.."

Adrian stands up, "I will go talk with the Magistrate.. Bail.."

"Garibaldi.." Sinclair drums his hand on the table.. "Take them to Mrs. Winters office.. Have Psi-corps take care of the issue.. Their bail is set at Ten thousand credits a piece.." After a second, "Oh and Micheal.."

"Commander," Garibaldi responds..

"Unless god comes down the mountain top," Jeff looks at Catherine.. " I am busy.."

"Understood Commander," Garibaldi starts talking with his people..

Commander Sinclair looks out at a small commotion as he cuts his link, "I will be damned.."

Catherine turns and see's Ambassador Kosh walking towards Them at the commanders table.. December is walking next to him down the rows of table.

"Next time commander, "Adrian shakes his head.. "Wish for money and lots of it.."

Ambassador Kosh and December arrive at the table.. December is wearing a revealing short red dress with spider like webs on it.. "Commander.. Ambassador Kosh would like to join you for dinner.."

Adrian did not stand as the others did.. Coldly he says something in a language no one else present knows..

Kosh responds in the same language..

December, Sakai, and Sinclair look at the two of them..

Adrian Responds back..

Kosh's encounter suit speaks the language..

Adrian takes two water glasses from the table.. He pours them out and refills them with Jack.. He hands one to December. "I will drink to that Kosh.. May you live in interesting times."

Ambassador Kosh responds, "All the world is but a stage.." Kosh pauses for a second, "Good luck.."

Sinclair and the tables around them are all in a little shock..

Adrian smiles, "What do you want?"

Ambassador Kosh takes a second, "Pour la jeune fille aux cheveux corbeau .. peut-elle vivre à long.."

"F$%^ you to ambassador.." Adrian looks at Kosh, "To Emperor Marcus Octavius.." Adrian loudly Proclaims, "Sic semper tyrannis.." He downs another shot, "How's Sebastian doing?"

Kosh's encounter suit flashes, "Gone Fishing.. Be back at noon.."

Writers Note

The other three sets where english to traditional Cantonese.. Now it wont translate back.. So we all get to be lost on what the translation is..

It was joking about tying sinclair down and him waking up married to her

Because I put the words not the chinese symbols it thinks it is Vietnamese

"Pour la jeune fille aux cheveux corbeau .. peut-elle vivre à long.."

"For the girl with raven hair .. may she live long .."

Hidden Facility

Sol System

"I am glad to see my allies have managed to chose the least among us to lead," Kortan looks over the project..

"When the time is right Mr. Kortan," Morden responds.. "The Ikarran weapon system.."

"Yes.." Krotan gets a little angry, "Your Drakh however need to learn there place.."

"They are on loan Kortan," Morden responds as Kortan has his hand on his sword..

The Drakh Shiv'kala looks at Kortan, "Draw your sword human.." Shiv'kala laughs at Kortan.. "You should have a keeper placed.."

Morden speaks something in Drakh causing Shiv'kala to wince..

"That is not necessary," Shiv'kala bows his head.. After a few moments, "We will have the prototype available in about a year.. "

"Mr. Morden let me have a few of the keepers and I will have the immortals necessary to do this project.." Kortan responds, "These Drakh do not have the spine necessary.."

"Everything in its time Kortan.. For now grow more of the Ikarran suits then we can upgrade the Vessels you have.." Morden holds up his hand, "This way it looks like Earth force made the breakthroughs.. We will not be exposed so soon.."

"I know that you moron.." Kortan shook his head, "You know.. " Kortan looked to the Shadows beside Morden, "I understand my allies, that Good help is hard to find.. bane of upper management since the dawn of time.."

Worriedly Morden went wide at there response..

"Yes.." Kortan loudly speaks.. "I wont go into details, but unlike our Drakh allies.. I am attacking Adrian Lambert Cleod in way none of you have thought of.." Kortan walks over to Shiv'kala, "You see we are playing for all the pieces on the chess board.. I disagree with your masters in a simple matter.. "

Shiv'kala glared at Kortan, "Our masters would never.."

"You see where you have failed.. I am going to break Adrian," Kortan smiles.. "You see he is a creature of heart.. that heart become cold.." Kortan evilly grins, "Octavius had a pupil.. She was wounded but not beheaded on that day in europe When Adrian attacked the emperor..."

Shiv'kala looks toward Kortan, "You expect this soft touch to work.. I think the reason is your afraid to face him for the prize."

"You see Octavius's lover has been dead inside," Kortan looks at Shiv'kala.. "She agreed to become Adrians lover.. Then kill him.."

"I am not human but I will tell you this," Shiv'kala calmly spoke. "For the sake of our masters we wish you well in the endeavor Immortals.."

"Kyala will arrive on Babylon 5 in a few days," Morden smiles.. "Our other allies have her new programming installed.. Kortan.. It surprised us she agreed to this.."

Kortan laughed, "No Mr. Morden.. It surprised you. One of the few constants you learn with a long life.. A woman scorned Mr. Morden, no fury doeth hell posses to match.. " Kortan shakes his head, "Again good help.. Now Mr. Morden.. The search for Babylon 4.. "

Morden narrows his eyes, "It is being searched for.. We have a few leads.."

"For this crap to work I need it to be found," Kortan laughs.. "Psychological warfare.. Whats worse is they have done it to themselves.. Now Mr. Morden be a good lap dog.. "

"Do not worry about us Kortan," Morden narrows his eyes.. "We will deliver what we promised.. We will not fail.. Nothing can stand in our way."

Kortan looked over at the Drakh, "Famous last words Mr. Morden.. Famous last words.. Octavius's in fact.."
