October 23rd 2266 5:00 PM, Delenn is late and rushes down the halls on Babylon 5. She has been so active with John Sheridan, her husband, and with the forthcoming of her unborn child, she forgot about the arrival of Merr and Nezlenn. The ship was to arrive at 5:00 PM and now it's 5:01 PM. As Delenn walks down the hall in a good rhythm of speed she meets Nezlenn and Merr who don't appear to be in the best of health. "My name is Delenn, part of the religious caste, you two will be going under the religious caste's protection. I need to know one thing; do you want to under go with this?"

To Nezlenn, this was a fast introduction, so Nezlenn Fursdri steps forward to confirm his wishes. "Delenn, the virus is a killer, it will kill us in two months."

The three stop moving quickly and calmly walk towards Delenn quarters. "I see, well the chrysalis is a painful process."

Merr is pondering on a question. "Sorry to interrupt you, but have you been through a chrysalis?"

Delenn looks at Merr, the question is ironic to Delenn, for the fact that these Human's must been so sheltered for Minbari don't look like this at all! "Yes, it was for prophesy of the great darkness ahead." They arrive to Delenn's quarters. "We are here, follow me, and there are no costs to you for going through the chrysalis."

Merr still does not understand what is the chrysalis. "What is it?"

Delenn smiles and activates her door to open. "I will let you find out for yourselves." Delenn enters her quarters. "Follow me." Delenn, Nezlenn, and Merr enter the quarters, already the chrysalis device is set up. "Around here you will have a place in the Grey Council, and the cost to live here is all free, no taxes, no cost, no bills. If your heart desires then be here in 15 minutes for the chrysalis will commence." Delenn nods and shows them out of her room. As Delenn leaves them, Merr and Nezlenn go to an empty room in the multi-theistic church.

As Merr looks at Nezlenn, they are unsure what to do. Merr seems the most unsure. "So what do you think Nezlenn?"

Nezlenn, who was been looking at the floor looks at Merr. "As I see it, we have no other option. We either go through this chrysalis or die in two months." Merr nods agreeing with Nezlenn.

"Well then lets get it over with, the faster we go the faster we will be able to get back to making money." Says Merr with little concern that she is about to change species.

Nezlenn can't believe that Merr is acting like this. "Is that what you only want...to make money?"

Merr looks at Nezlenn, "Oh Nezlenn, your young, money is the blood that fuels the economy!"

Nezlenn shakes his head. "I will have to disagree with you there Merr, but if that is what you want, then that is what you will find!"

5:21 PM, Nezlenn and Merr go into Delenn's quarters since the 15 minutes are up. Delenn has decked up the quarters in candles and the glowing device in the center of the room. "Welcome to my quarters, no one will interfere with you here!" Delenn removes her triluminary for the chrysalis. "A chrysalis takes one Earth week, so who wants to go first?"

"I will go first" Said Merr.

Merr takes off her coat. Delenn hangs up her coat and then looks at Merr who has volunteered to go first. "With all of the pain it's better if you stay in one position. If you try to get out you wont be able to for the material will hold you in and latter shell over you." Merr looks at the whitish-pink like spider-webs that are beginning to gather near and on the wall. As Merr looks at Nezlenn, Nezlenn just remains emotionless as he has always, hence why coworkers at the USGS use to call him Anubis because of his grave like glares and death like stare. As Merr steps in the spinning cocoon she looks at Nezlenn as she cries due to the pain of the fibers digging into her flesh. As Anubis watches he stands with a sick feeling in his stomach.

As Delenn watches Merr Casio become encased in the cocoon, the process of completing the cocooning is about five hours. As Delenn watches Merr go asleep she then turns to face Nezlenn. "You've seen what is up ahead, are you still sure you want to go through this?"

Nezlenn looks at Merr whom is now asleep. "I've spent every dollar to get here, I'm not going back now, there is nothing back on Earth for me except death."

Delenn is silent for a second, then asks Nezlenn a question. "If you don't mind, what was your name again?"

Nezlenn looks at Merr. "Nezlenn Anubis Fursdri, that is my name."

Delenn nods, then turns away from Merr's cocoon to face Nezlenn directly. Nezlenn looks at Merr with a tear in his eye. "I should not say this, but you have the right to know, the chrysalis may not accept Merr as a Minbari, her soul is not pure."

Nezlenn looks at Delenn confused. "What do you mean?"

Delenn shows Nezlenn a place to sit as she does so. "The chrysalis is a meditative instrument, you must want to change to save others, Merr seemed not that type...but I may also be over judging!"

Nezlenn nods, "You might be...Merr is a good soul, she cares, but her own agendas get in the way of the overall purpose."

Delenn is listening. "And what is that?"

Nezlenn ponders for a second. "That she has a purpose that is greater then making a few lousy bucks!"

Delenn smiles. Well you have five hours at the most, spend it well, I have to go, I have business to attend to." Nezlenn nods alouding Delenn to leave. As Delenn leaves her quarters, Nezlenn takes out his journal and continues writing, knowing that this will be his last entry as a Human. 'As Merr stepped into the chrysalis she all of a sudden shows signs of pain. As the view closed up in a pinkish white fabric I knew that she would survive. Delenn said that in five fours it would be my turn. So I had five hours to myself, I cannot eat or drink and should not contact anyone. As I left Delenn's quarters I did not know the name of this place, when I found a Narn I ask him what this place is called? He was shocked to look at me, so he pointed to a sign. I thank him and readied the sign, it readBabylon 5, Ambassador Sector. So I must not be on Minbar, and Delenn must be the Ambassador of Minbar that means I must be under Minbari rules. As I stood outside Delenn's quarters a man named Mr. Garibaldi asked me what I was doing? I said I was under Delenn's protection. When Mr. Garibaldi wanted to go into Delenn's room I told him he can't, he asked why. I said he has no search warrant, he thought I was being funny and he slammed me into the wall with a PPG at my head. At that time Delenn came out to see what was going on. And in her surprise I had Mr. Garibaldi in my scaly face with a PPG at my head. Delenn said I was a friend of hers, so with an apologue he let me go. When I entered the room, Delenn looked at me and smiled, I was a little shook up. When I looked where Merr was I only saw a cocoon, it was very strange to see this, but I knew if I don't do this I would be dead anyway, so I agreed and it was my turn. The last five minutes it felt if I was going to throw up, for that sort of feeling comes when I become shocked and frightened at the same time. When Delenn got the interesting figure in the shape of a triangle, she placed in on a second tower of glass pieces, and then the tower glowed and material begin collecting in one small spot. When Delenn looked at me she told me that it would be painful in the beginning but as I fall asleep the pain will go on, but unnoticed till it is time to break out. As I watched the cocoon silk begin to build-up I looked at Delenn and now was uncertain of what I wanted.' "Delenn?"

Delenn turns to face Nezlenn. "Yes Nezlenn?"

Nezlenn looks at the chrysalis. "Please, just call me Anubis—" Looking at the cocoon, "you've been through one of these, I have not. I see that the pyramid supplies the energy to this chrysalis, but what I am concern about is being educated about what I am getting myself into!"

Delenn knowing that the time is growing short of entry decides to tell him anyway. "This top piece of this 'pyramid' is the main cause of the chrysalis, it's called a triluminary there are only three in existence. And as for the experience of the chrysalis Anubis, I leave that to only you to dictate when that time comes Anubis—now if you are going to take this transformation you should hurry, your time is limited and the chrysalis will hurt much more every second you delay."

Nezlenn looks at the cocoon then at Delenn. "You will be here to help us?"

Delenn nods. "Yes, I will pray and meditate for both of you."

Nezlenn steps closer to the cocoon then look at Delenn again. "Thank you for the help Satai Delenn, I know Merr will thank you when she comes around, but accept my thanks."

Delenn nods, "I will."

Nezlenn 'Anubis' Fursdri enters the chrysalis, as things are set in motion this material begins to somehow absorb into the flesh. This stuff began to clot his view, the heat was getting turned up and the pain grew with every prick of the chrysalis as it entered his body. The pain itself could put you asleep. When Nezlenn tried to touch the wall his hand did not move, he was paralyzed. As the chrysalis went on he became tired, it was hard to believe that he was to sleep in his own cocoon. As Nezlenn Anubis Fursdri watched Delenn with every ounce of energy to stay awake, he soon was overcome by sleep.
