Truth
Disclaimer: B5 belongs to JMS and SciFi; Andromeda belong to Tribune Entertainment. I am only borrowing them and I promise to return them in more or less the same condition as I found them. I will make no money off this.
Author's note: This takes place in the season 3 that doesn't exist yet, I am assuming the Dylan gets Beka and Tyr back.

For the officers of the High Guard, service and sacrifice are tangible things, more precious than gold, because we pay for the right to claim them with our sweat, our blood, our tears. We are the watchers on the walls of Paradise. --Admiral Constanza Stark, High Guard Chief of Staff -CY 9764, two years before the Magog first attack at Brandenburg Tor

"Dylan, we are receiving a transmittion from the smallest Minbari ship, the one with organic technology," Rommie said.
"Open communtications," Dylan replied, "visual communications." Before now Dylan had been using auditory only communications so that the attacking Earth Force ships wouldn't know he was human.
"Captain Hunt, I believe that.... you're human!" Delenn said with surprise.
"Yes, I am human," Dylan responded.
"My apologies, I was not expecting a human, your ship, its so, not human in design." Delenn said.
"Well thats because Andromeda wasn't designed by humans, but by a race known as the Vedrans, but thats not important, I think we may have gotten off on the wrong foot." Dylan said plainly.
"Well, we may have at that, but I must ask, why did you come to the aid of Babylon 5?" Delenn asked.
"Nothing," Dylan replied. When he saw the puzzled look on Delenn's face he continued, "We, my crew and I, didn't know Babylon 5 was under attack. When we got here the battle already underway and we were forced into the conflict when we had hoped to avoid. So we threw our hat in with Babylon 5, and now, here we are."
"So, basicly, you were, as the humans say, in the wrong place at the right time?" Delenn asked
"Yeah, something like that," Dylan said with a laugh. Then speaking on a more serious note he said, "We'll help with clean up."
After a few minutes, the Andromeda launched the Maru which headed toward the nearly destroyed Churchill. The Andromeda also launched salvage pods and drones to clean up the mess left over from the battle and recover pilots that ejected from their fighters, life pods, and disabled fighters.

"What happened," Hiroshi asked weakly as she awoke in a strange med lab.
"You were injured in the battle, you suffered a major concussion and your arm was broken in two places, your XO said that you passed out shortly after the Minbari arrived, about two days ago," a golden skined woman told her.
"Who are you? What are you? Is this your ship? Did your race build this ship?" Hiroshi asked as she struggled to get up.
"I'm Trance Gemini, and I am the cheif medical officer, this is not my ship, and my race did not build it, and you should not use your left arm for a day or so till your arm is completely healed." Trance told her.
"Well Trance, if my arm was broken how can it be completely healed in a day or so?" Hiroshi asked.
"The medical nanobots we injected into your body are repairing the damage," Trance said like it was no big thing.
"Nanobots!! You put tiny machines into my blood!!" Hiroshi said in absolute shock
"Yes, and Dy... Captain Hunt told me to tell you that most of your crew went over to Babylon 5 for some kind of ceremony, but from what I heard, it was interupted by something called NightWatch," Trance said, "and Ambassador Delenn is in Med lab recovering."
As Trance finished talking, the Medical bay's doors opened and a man wearing a red and black uniform. My God, Hiroshi thought, he looks human.
"Ah, your awake. Captain Hiroshi, I am Captain Dylan Hunt, I trust Trance has been treating you well. I assume you would like a look around my ship, one of the Minbari captains is on his way over for a tour, you are welcome to join us." The man said.
"Well, to them man that saved my life, twice, sure." Hiroshi responded
-------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Dylan was in his High Gaurd Uniform and Hiroshi was in her Earth Force Uniform watched as the Minbari shuttle slowly landed in the Andromeda's docking bay, right next to the Maru, and two men walked out, one Minbari and one human. The Minbari was wearing a Minbari warrior caste uniform, while the human was wearing robes and a small emblem on his right shoulder.
"Greetings," said the Minbari, "I am Neronn, of the Warrior caste, and I am anxious to meet the human that stood up the the Minbari."
"Hello," said the human, "My names Marcus, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Dylan Hunt, and welcome to the Andromeda. Please come with." Dylan said.
-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
After a few hours of walking through the ship the four, Dylan, Hiroshi, Neronn, and Marcus arrived at the observation deck.
"Captain Hunt, you seemed pretty sure of yourself when we first met, this ship, while impressive, doesn't even have energy weapons, and you were only able to destroy one of the earth ships and disable another. What made you think you could stand up to the Minbari?" Neroon asked
"Neronn, can you tell me, how long have the Minbari been traveling the stars?" Dylan asked.
"Close to 4,000 years, why?" Neronn responed.
At hearing the answer, Dylan smiled and said, "The Vedrans, the race responsible for this ship, have been traveling the stars for over 10,000 years."
"In Valen's name," Marcus said in responce, Neronn and Hiroshi were silent.
"And in responce to military power, I think Rommie should tell you that." Dylan said. As soon as Dylan finished talking a free floating hologram of one of the women they had met eariler appeared before them. Dylan continued by saying, "Hiroshi, Neronn, Marcus, meet Andromeda."
"Hello again, what you met earlier was my avatar, I am the core AI of this ship." the hologram said, "I have 40 ELS, missile tubes which fire 8 missiles per second, at 90 PSL, each with a 20 megaton warhead and each missile is roughly the size of a human fist. I also have 12 PDL 50Mw turrets which are point defense lasers and 12 anti-proton or AP cannons. I also have a compliment of 112 fighters, that can be controlled remotely, and 12 atmospheric fighter craft and 24 attack drones. I use a variety of missiles including smart missiles and kinetic missiles. I also use defensive missiles, which are slow, low yeild smart missiles designed to intercept incoming missiles and fighters, and those are what was used on the Earth Force ship. Does that answer your question?"
Neronn managed to nod in responce, Marcus and Hiroshi managed to blink.
