December 30th 2266 Nezlenn takes out his journal to write down the days events. Still shocked over the fact that the VBD plague made him into a multi-cure, Merr got lucky, she was tested, the chrysalis had cleansed her of the evolutionary advancement. But Nezlenn still carried the virus that caused some scaling around his legs, but the chance to become the universal cure was not over, Nezlenn's blood was full of chemicals from the VBD and chrysalis that if injected into another can cure any illness...even the dreaded Drakh plague that struck Earth only one week after Merr and Nezlenn left. As Nezlenn writes, he is upset and angry at Merr's choices. 'I got to see Merr today, the Narn Regime has gave her a great offer, to help with Narnquakes which have been a problem since the Centauri leveled their world. She left almost after her chrysalis. As for I, well I had to turn down the Centauri, and Drazi a week ago and I also turned down the Vorlon Empires request. Ambassador Londo Mollari said that I made a big mistake, for the Vorlon's have never been interested in any alien life. I looked at him and said that the truth will point to itself. Five weeks later I was with Delenn when an Earthforce captain said I had to return to Earth, it was an order! I looked upon the captain and said that I have served the local government for three years and never once was ever demanded to go anywhere so I told him how much I would love to return. He was skeptical but decided he had better things to do when Ambassador Kosh Nanarke hovered behind me. A month latter I was getting short on money for no income, but my luck turned when I got a notice from the Grey Council—from five of them. Delenn appeared to be one of the five and she stated that the Grey Council was looking for resources. I was skeptical this time. Delenn then confessed that she was part of the Grey Council and she had first confronted Merr Casio, but she refused. I asked then if this was a demand, they replied yes. As I grew nervous a Minbari pulled back his hood and stated that his name was Neroon of the Star Rider Clan, he somehow knew of my money shortage and rebred that thought. When I asked for time to think this over they agreed and left for a while, so with hours of thinking I said yes. When Delenn came back she was very happy, she told that I would have to learn their ways and the preamble of the Grey Council, she told me to copy her, I agreed.' There is a knock at Nezlenn's door, it's Delenn.
Delenn walks at Nezlenn, Nezlenn is dressed in grey attire, so is Delenn. "Are you ready?"
Nezlenn puts down his pen. "Yes." Nezlenn gets up off the seat and walks to Delenn's side. As Delenn tells Nezlenn to stop next to the acolytes, Nezlenn does so.
As Delenn takes her place in front of the Grey Council chambers, the ceremonies begin. "Who do you serve?"
Nezlenn Anubis replies. "I serve the truth."
Then Delenn said, "What is the truth?"
Nezlenn Anubis replies again in the same manor. "The light and the darkness, the candle and the stars."
And with that Nezlenn Anubis was almost finished. Delenn then looked at Nezlenn and asked a strange question to finish the preamble. "Will you follow me into light, will you follow me into darkness, will you follow me into death?"
Nezlenn Anubis replies. "I will."
"Then follow!" Then Delenn handed Nezlenn another robe, but it was pure brown, she said it was a robe of the religious, warrior, and worker Grey Council. Nezlenn Anubis was sure excited and when he got to his room the Babcom had a message for him.
Nezlenn looks at the Babcom, he knows no one, so who could it be? "Identification or name computer?"
It replied, "Merr of the Narn Regime."
Nezlenn drops his robes on the floor and rushes to the Babcom. "Play All."
It was Merr in different clothing, and she was very alien looking. She said: "I see your not present so I just wanted to say that I am coming back to Babylon 5 to do some paper work. I am looking forward of meeting you. I have a lot to talk about. I know by my resources that you don't have a job, I'd like to appoint one to you, and we will talk soon! Good day Anubis Nezlenn Fursdri"
Then the computer went blank, it then said, "end of message."
Nezlenn remains seated on his bed, the day still at large in his mind. As he continues writing in his journal, he writes: 'Well I love to see Merr, but I just got a job with the Grey Council, and they want me to leave, so I better leave an message.
Nezlenn rises from his bed and walks to the computer. "Computer record time delayed message for Merr Casio."
"commencing" The screen blinks twice then the word RECORD comes on the screen.
"Hello Merr, sorry I could not be here when you arrived but I have been pressured into taking a job. I am right now being took care of by Ambassador/Satai Delenn. I also have some bad news; Earthdome states that our parents have been run down, but not by Earth Gov, but by some natural force, a pyroclastic flow from Mount Rainier killed them, whole state of Washington is under a state of an emergency. Now your probably wondering what's my Job, it must not leave this room because of Earth Gov. It's hard enough to know that I am part Minbari, but if they get wind that I am now part of the Minbari Grey Council you may be endanger. It is good if I leave Babylon 5 so no more conflicts will rise up on this station. Oh one more thing, I got contact of your brother, he is on Centauri Prime. Well my time is running out, I have to go. Take care Merr, and remember nothing is what it seems we shall talk later." Nezlenn Anubis pushes the button.
The computer talks back to Nezlenn to affirm the recording is complete. "End recording." Nezlenn Anubis leaves Babylon 5 to head to the Minbari, as Merr arrives on Babylon 5 unsure if Nezlenn Anubis is still on Babylon 5, she is excited, if she gets Nezlenn Anubis to come back with her, she gets 50 more credits to her pay check.
