EXT. Excalibur – Hyperspace
Cut to,
INT. EXCALIBUR CONFERENCE ROOM
Gideon is stood over the table. Galen is stood in the opposite corner and Matheson is also present.
GIDEON
Mind explaining? And don't give me the "there are forces greater than my comprehension crap"
GALEN
I wouldn't dream of doing so Matthew, when have I ever not given you a strait answer?
GIDEON
It would be quicker to list the times you actually have Galen. Now, what just went on?
GALEN
When the Shadows left the galaxy they left behind a booby-trap that destroyed Z'ha'Dum when a ship approached. The Vorlons have opted for a rather less drastic option… but none the less it is a trap, set up to prevent their worlds from being ransacked by everybody.
GIDEON
They left one Vorlon ship behind?
GALEN
I'm not exactly clear on that myself unfortunately. But I believe them to be using some sort of automated device that simulates a Vorlon cruiser.
MATHESON
Most likely the same device that created the interference field?
GALEN (nodding)
The Vorlons do not want anyone disturbing their world. They allowed us to go free because I answered their question to their satisfaction. I'm assuming the Drakh, being servants of the Shadows, didn't.
GIDEON
And the question was?
GALEN
That I will not repeat Matthew. But be grateful they chose me to question, not Dureena.
The three share a big smile as we,
FADE OUT:
