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. Also there was a typo in the previous chapter, it was meant to be Neroon, not Neronn.

"Let me pass on to you the one thing I've learned about this place. No one here is exactly what he appears. Not Mollari, not Delenn, not Sinclair .. and not me." -Ambassador G'Kar, Narn Regime -Earth Year 2258

In Sheridan's office, Captain John Sheridan, Ambassador Delenn, Dr. Steven Franklin, Cheif of Security Michael Garibaldi, Ranger Marcus Cole, Commander Susan Ivanova, and Captain Sandra Hiroshi were discussing their new "friends." Although the Andromeda hasn't done anything aggressive against Babylon 5 since they got here, they were still suspicious.
"Marcus, what were you able to learn while you were over there?" Sheridan asked
"Well, for one, I think these Vedrans may be First Ones, because according to Captian Hunt, they have been traveling the stars for 10,000 years." Marcus said. At seeing their shocked faces, exluding Hiroshi who had already gone through this, Marcus continued, "They speak English, but the offical language, their writen langauge is Vedran, which they offered to teach me. On military, they appear to be able to render a planet lifeless, to the point where not even bacteria would survive. The ship also has an AI, which is in control of most of the ship. I also think that they are hiding a lot."
After regaining composure from what he just heard, Sheridan said, "I think it may be a little premature to trust them. We don't even know where they came from, or how they got here, because when they arrived, it wasn't through the jumpgate and it didn't look like it was a jump point."
Hiroshi spoke up next, "From my stay in their medlab, their medical technology is impressive, they used nanobots to heal my arm, beyond that I don't know anymore than Marcus."
"I don't trust them, their arrival here came right at the moment we needed them the most, and then they claim that they didn't know we were under attack. I don't know, it's just a little too coincidental for my taste." Garibaldi added.
"At the moment they seem willing to help, and I feel better knowing that they're out there, I mean the Minbari can't stay here forever, and if their willing to aid in the defence of this station, I say let them, but I agree, we can't trust them yet." Ivanova said, "Now, we still have to deal with what we are going to do with the prisoners from the battle."
-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
"Captain Hunt, this is Captian Sheridan, the Earth Alliance is sending several transports to pick up POW's from the battle and they will arrive here in a few days, also I was wondering is you and your crew would like to come over to the station?"
"Captain Sheridan, this is Hunt, I'd like to come and visit your station."

"You don't actually trust them, do you?" Beka asked Dylan after her cut off the transmittion from Babylon 5.
"No, but I doubt they trust us either," Dylan responded, "I think it's more nessecity than anything else."
"Speaking of nessecity," Harper spoke up, "Dylan, were broke, as in out of cash."
"How are we out of currency?" Dylan asked.
"Oh, we got money, just not usable money." Harper responded.
"Yeah, Dylan, our money probably isn't good here." Beka added.
"So, what do we do about this?" Dylan asked.
"I would suggest the obvious," Tyr said, "either we sell and market our superior technology, or we hire ourselves out as mercenaries, to that station anyway. Either way they become safe and we get a source of income. And who knows, mabey you could set up a Commonwealth here."
"Uh, Dylan," Beka started, "I think we will need a laison between us and the station."
"I know Beka," Dylan said, "I've been thinking about that too, and I think I have the perfect candidate. Also, we've been invited over to the station, and I would like to see what it's like over there, so we need to get our cover story straight."
-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
"No Vir, I don't know who they are, all I know is what I've been told," Ambassador Londo Mollari said, "that their from some long lost human colony, with some very advanced technology, and that they're coming over to the station in a couple of minutes and the Ambassadors from the major powers were invited to greet them upon arrival."
"Londo, theres something about this that doesn't seem, I don't know, right," Vir Cotto said.
"Look Vir, on this statio, in this place, nothing is ever as it seems, and nobody is ever what he or she appears to be," Londo said, "some one said that once, I just don't remember who."
Londo and Vir walked into the main docking bay after it had repressurized and they saw six people, three men and three women, get off what looked more like a cargo ship rather than a shuttle. Five of the six looked human, except for the fact that one the men had three bone spikes coming out of each his arms. The other person, whom Londo assumed was a woman, had gold skin and red hair.
