Reporter's voice on TV while video plays:" Today ,joy spreads around the galaxy. Babylon 5's Chief of Security Michael Garibaldi returned to the station today after going missing six months ago…"
Garibaldi sat at his desk ,reading reports and getting himself up to speed. He'd been really out of the loop. He hadn't taken his position back yet; he wasn't quite ready yet. Some of his memory had returned. He remembered finding the ship that had sent the signal ,then a blank. He'd been glad to meet the young people who he'd helped escape. He was happy they'd made it. He had also become good friends from T'Challa.
A beep signaled that someone was at his door.
"Enter," he said.
A older woman entered. She had salt and pepper hair , pulled into a tight bun. She was dressed in a long ,flowing black dress. She smiled gently.
"I believe that I owe you an apology ,Mr. Garibaldi. I have caused you great harm. It was not my intention," she said solemnly.
Garibaldi was startled for a moment. He recognized her voice as that of the pilot he'd help. However , he had no ideas to what she meant.
"I'm sorry?" he said, confused.
The woman smiled sadly.
"May I sit?" she asked.
"Oh, of course," He said.
She sat down and took a deep breathe.
"My name Halana. This is hard to explain ,but my people , the Makaria, have dedicated ourselves to protecting an ancient race of beings called Drani. The Drani are a slug-like race who use their psychic powers to keep the universe in key. They can create and even change a person's destiny. They can even make themselves invisible, but they are visible normally. When invisible , only those with Makarian blood can see them, because of the telepathy that our people have.Tokar, the one who captured you, is a Yonai, as is you're young friend T'Challa. Tokar wants to capture a Drani so that he may change his destiny," she explained.
It took a few moments from everything to sink in. Slug-like creatures? Garibaldi massaged the bridge of his nose.
"Why does Tokar want to change his destiny and why are you telling me this?" Garibaldi asked ,after sometime had past.
"Tokar wants to be in power. At the moment the Yonai are led by Queen Annalina ,who is only fourteen. Tokar wants to control her and he can't. I tell you this because I believe that you saw the Drani the day you helped me. I do not know how or why but perhaps it is your destiny to help me….and them," Halana said.
"Them? You mean the Drani? Why?" Garibaldi asked, his head throbbing.
"The Drani do not have a planet to call their own yet. My people have found a suitable one for them. I was tasked with leading the Drani to their new home, however my ship was damaged by Tokar. He'd found out about what we were doing . Then you and the others found us, and we came here. The reason we haven't left is because my ship was damaged worse then I thought. You are the only human I have met that can see the Drani while they are invisible . And you survived when Tokar's ship used it's flash cannon. No one has ever done that before," the Makaria rose form her chair as she spoke," I will leave you now, so you may think everything over."
Before he could say anything , the Makaria left in a swirl of black fabric.
