Michael Garibaldi looked up at the Jedi as he approached customs. "Please remove any weapons you may be carrying," he said as Luke walked up to the scanner. Luke removed his lightsaber from his belt and reluctantly placed it on the counter.
"You'll get it back when you leave," Michael said to him.
"Thank you..." Luke said to the Chief of Security.
"Michael Garibaldi, Chief of Security, and you are?" Garibaldi quickly responded.
"Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker, and these lovely ladies are," Luke said as he pointed to the women behind him, "Mara Jade Skywalker, my wife, and Leia Organa Solo, my sister"
"I am See-Threepio, Human Cyborg Relations, I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication, and this is my counterpart, Artoo-Detoo," C-3PO said to the air, since Garibaldi wasn't paying attention to him.
"Pleasure to meet you, Captain Sheridan is waiting for you, I'll escort you there myself," Michael said to them.
Mara and Leia placed their lightsabers and blasters on the counter and soon followed Luke and Garibaldi. C-3PO and R2-D2 were quickly on their heels. The customs officer took their weapons and placed them in a small bin and placed it into the storage facility.
John Sheridan and Delenn stood as the doors opened. Luke, his wife, his sister, and the 2 droids walked into the room and Garibaldi smiled as the door closed. John approached Luke and extended his hand. Luke openly took it as they shook hands. Delenn bowed slightly and Luke returned the bow.
"Luke, this is Delenn, Ambassador to the Minbari," John said as he pointed to his fiancée.
"Pleasure to meet you Delenn. This is my wife, Mara Jade," Luke said as he pointed to Mara and then he pointed to Leia, "and this is my sister, Senator Leia Organa Solo."
Leia nodded and held out a hand to Delenn. Delenn openly took it and they shook hands.
"I am See-Threepio, Human Cyborg Relations, I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication, and this is my counterpart, Artoo-Detoo," C-3PO said to the air once again.
"Well, down to business...First of all, where are we?" Luke asked John.
"We are aboard the interstellar spacestation, Babylon 5. It is currently the main base in the war against the Shadows."
"The Shadows?" Luke asked.
"You don't know?" John said in awe, "Well, How do I begin...?"
"Hold up, I think I can figure it out faster than having you explain it." Luke walked up to John and held his hand up to John's forehead. John quickly recoiled.
"You're a telepath?!" John exclaimed.
"You could say that, I have the ability to read minds, if that is what you asking," Luke said to him, "I am guessing you do not like people prodding around in your mind."
"No, I don't," John said to the jedi sternly.
"It's alright, I will only go where you let me," Luke said in a comforting voice.
"OK, if you absolutely have to," John said as he sighed and tapped his wrist link. The door opened and two guards entered the room with PPGs drawn. "Just in case you try anything funny," John said as he allowed Luke to approach him.
Luke began to concentrate as images from the past 2 years flooded his mind. He saw the shadow fighters destroying civilian transports, he saw the bombing of Narn, he even saw a few glances of Babylon 4 and Sinclair. He shook his head as he opened his eyes. "We shall help you in any way we can," Luke said as he backed away, "until we can find a way home that is."
"Thank you, but we cannot except your offer, I do not wish to bring in more people to die in this war," John said to him.
"I know what you really think John, you are just afraid to bring us into something we aren't prepared for, and that is where you are wrong. We are ready. You saw my fleet, Wedge's fleet to be more precisely, and we are prepared for a fight, in fact we were on our way to a major battle before we were brought here. There has to be a reason for all of this, the force is very powerful, it is not always easy to understand. We will help you, whether you want it or not, if we cannot protect our galaxy, then we will protect yours."
"Thank you, if you are sure...I will need to speak with your commanding officers, though, to learn the capabilities of your ships, very interesting designs by the way," John said as the guards left the room and Garibaldi walked back to the door. "Michael will lead you back to the docking bay."
Luke, Mara, Leia, ad the droids followed Michael Garibaldi out the door. Sheridan looked over at Delenn and smiled. "Now that business is taken care of, what do you say? Shall we head back to our quarters?" John asked her.
"No John," she said while grimacing widely, "let's just stay in here." She began to remove her coat. John ran over to the door and locked it, with full security lock active.
