Babylonian Cycle: Season 3
	And it came to pass, in the days of Sheridan the Not-Quite-Dead but before 
the days of Fred the Marvelous, that the Shadow War didst appear on the 
horizon. And though few didst see it, many felt it.
	And Sheridan the Not-Quite-Dead did know that times of strife did approach, 
and did seek aid of Kosh the Obfuscating. And though he made a valiant 
effort, the riddles of Kosh proved more than the feeble mind of Sheridan the 
great could fight.
	And the Minbari and the Ragers didst bring a great ship to Sheridan the 
Not-Quite-Dead, and the ship was the Whitestar. And it was a small ship, but 
a powerful ship, and it was built of the fruits of many races. And, when no 
one looked, the skin didst make funny faces at them and mock them.
	And a great change didst begin on the station as it did prepare for war. 
Londo the One-Liner and G'kar the Evolving didst undergo a chrysalis greater 
than Delenn the Dramatic. And both became decent characters. And lo, Londo 
didst become Londo the Cunning, and G'kar didst become G'kar the Wise.
	And Ivanova didst have an idea, and didst go with Marcus the Pythonic in 
search of First Ones who could help in the battle with the Shadows. And they 
didst discover a vast and powerful race, for whom Zog meant no and to whom 
the Vorlons owed money. And the Walkers, as they came to be known, didst 
agree to help, on the condition that the Vorlons paid them the money.
	And Sheridan didst fight his first Shadow vessel above the fabled planet of 
Jupiter. And, though it was as powerful as a Whitestar, they didst trick it 
into ramming a planet.
	And Clark the Fool didst declare martial law in the Alliance in hopes of 
cementing his power. And his plans didst fail, causing many worlds to revolt 
against him. And Sheridan the Not-Quite-Dead didst declare that Babylon 5 
would not follow Clark the Fool.
	And Delenn the Dramatic didst break the Grey Council, for they had become, 
old, and weak, and indifferent to the plights of others, and they had voted 
to become the Plaid Council.
	And Londo the Cunning didst meet with Refa the 
Pretty-Darn-Clever-But-Not-Clever-Enough, and didst outsmart him, and didst 
stop his plans.
	And Vir didst learn the G'kar's former title was available, and didst 
become Vir the evolving, and didst save two thousand Narn from death. And 
lo, it did not look good on his resume on Centauri Prime.
	And G'kar the Wise was brought into the Conspiracy of Light.
	And Sheridan the not-Quite-Dead didst face Kosh the Obfuscating, and didst 
show that she was now had what the Vorlons had waited thousands of years 
for: Chutzpah. And Kosh didst give his life for Sheridan.
	And it was revealed to the Conspiracy that Babylon 4 was sent back in time 
to aid the Minbari. And it was revealed that the command of babylon 5 was 
going to have been stealing… will have stolen… will have been stealing… 
would be about to be stealing… had to take Babylon 4 themselves. And, with 
the help of Sinclair the confusing, did suceed. And Sinclair the Confusing 
didst go back with the station, to become Valen the Ironic.
	And a new Vorlon didst come to the station. And the Vorlon didst say that 
the Vorlons were all Kosh. And thus was he called All Kosh, later shortened 
to Ulkesh, the Obfuscating.
	And Refa had plotted to both become Emperor and avenge himself on Londo the 
Cunning, but Londo didst live up to his name. And Refa found that there was, 
in fact, no hiding place.
	And the Shadows didst send a copy of Anna Sheridan to trick Sheridan into 
coming to Z'Ha'Dum to die. But Sheridan the Not-Quite-Dead didst have the 
foresiight to bring with several large nuclear devices. And the Shadows 
learned why the Vorlons had awaited a man with Chutzpah.
	And the people of the station didst not celebrate the new year, for they 
believed Sheridan to now be the Totally-Dead.
	And the Vorlons, driven insane by the death of Kosh*, didst look out over 
their creation for the third time.
And lo, it was no longer good.

[*Author's note: I have this theory that since we know the Vorlons are 
powerful telepaths, that they all have a constant psychic link with each 
other. Therefore, when Kosh died, the death effect spoken about by human 
telepaths doing deathbed scans hit all the Vorlons, amplified thousands of 
times by Kosh's power and the fact that none of them had died in so long. 
This is what drove the Vorlons insane, causing them to take matters into 
their own hands with the planet killers.]
