Talia knew it was late, but she really wanted to talk Garibaldi. She'd been unable to attend the party. She walked the halls like a woman on a mission , which she was. The few people still in the halls got out of her way . The blonde stopped at the door to the room she wanted. She rang the doorbell and received a rather annoyed command to enter. She entered to see Garibaldi collecting a small pile of flimsies.
"I didn't wake you did I ?" she asked.
"Not at all ,Talia. I'm too exhausted to sleep," he smiled, putting the flimsies on his desk.
"I've been meaning to talk to you since you got back ,but we've both been busy," Talia said, sitting on the couch .
"Don't I know it."
Since Talia had come back to them ,things had been a bit smoother. With help from President Sheridan and Delenn , Talia, Lyta and the other telepaths had received their own homeworld. Lyta and Talia were acting as their ambassadors .
"Well," Garibaldi said after pouring them both a cup of coffee and sitting down on the couch next to her," It seems you and I have a lot of catching up to do."
"Yes ,we do," Talia said , smiling as she took the cup he handed her.

The next morning came as it always did on Babylon 5. Garibaldi walked towards the Zocolo . Halana had sent a message saying that she had accosted Zack earlier and had explained things to him. Then she had banished him to his quarters for more rest. The Makaria was waiting for him when he arrived. She was seated at a table , two cups in front of her. He sat down across from her and took one of the cups.
"Are you ready?" she asked him.
"Yeah. Yeah, I am. If the Drani need help ,I'm going to help them. Everyone deserves a home," he said.
"Alright. As I told you before , my people are dedicated to protecting the Drani from those who would use their abilities for their own gain. The Yonai are normally a peaceful people. But ,as you well know, even in the most peaceful of people contain those who are not peaceful. Tokar believes the that the Yonai could rule the galaxy if not for the peaceful queen. Even though he is not completely in control of her, the general is manipulating her to some extent. My people believe that the Drani should be able to use their powers as they want , not how others want. The Makaria have the ability to see through disguises. Only telepaths and Makaria can see the Drani when they are invisible. However, you can see them and you are not a telepath or a Makaria. The same is true of young Mr. Allen," Halana said, solemnly.
"So how can I help?" the human asked.
"The Drani need someone to guide them to their new home, where some of my people wait. My ship still needs repairs, so I cannot go," Halana answered.
"So you want me to do it? And Tokar is preparing to attack us to get to the Drani?"
The Makaria nodded yes to both questions. Garibaldi let everything run through his head. This was a lot to process.
"What do I tell Commander Sinclair?"
"I don't know. He may believe you , he may not."
"Where is this planet?"
Halana smiled.
"I will upload the coordinates into your star fury ."

Lyta stood in front of the door to Zack's quarters, for once unsure. Though she had since learned the truth about Byron, the redhead was nervous to face Zack. He'd tried to warn her , but the telepath was so enamored that she ignored the advice of someone who really loved her. The woman took a deep breathe and rang. She hurried a groggy ," Come on in," and entered.
She'd never been in Zack's quarters before. She doubted many people had. It was simple and very Zen. Zack walked out of his bedroom ,dressed only in pants.
"Lyta ,what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I-I wanted to apologize for what happened before. I should have given you a chance-"
The security officer cut her off with a hug.
"It's okay. I understand. When you love somebody, sometimes you miss things about them that you wouldn't notice otherwise," he said.
Zack gestured to the couch.
"You have a nice place Zack. You practice Zen?" Lyta asked , as she sat.
"Yeah. After the Chief saved me , I was still a little lost. Zen filled the void that was still there. Would you like coffee?" he responded.
"Sure."

Though not technically on duty, Garibaldi still helped settle a few disputes, including one between G'Kar and Londo . Some things never change, he thought, as he stood between them. Delann rolled her eyes as she approached them. Though she knew Garibaldi had it under control, the hybrid wasn't about to not help.
After settling the dispute , they sent the two ambassadors on their way.
"Ambassador, could you wait a minute?" Garibaldi asked, as Delann went to leave.
"Of course, Mr. Garibaldi. What do need?"
"Some advice."
