We fade in to a large laboratory style room. Computer consoles line the walls manned by technicians. In the center of the room are four large chairs, with massive amounts of electronics attached to them. In two of these chairs we John Sheridan and Jeff Sinclair wearing jumpsuits and covered with dozens of small electronic sensing devices. Thier heads are covered by something similar to what we would call a virtual reality helmet, but shaped more like the head of Kosh's encounter suit. As the action begins, we see several technicians move to the two men, remove the head peices and begin to detach them from the sensors. [Sheridan] Wow, I can't believe that we were so foolish. [Sinclair] What do you mean? [Sheridan] The shadows of course. How could we have ever known what thier true intent was? What could we have done differently so that so many people would not have died. [Sinclair] Probably nothing. PSI Corps took us all for ride and now that it is over, we just have to pick up where we left off. The technicians have finished thier work and our two heros stand and stretch. As they work out the kinks that the long session in the chair has imparted in thier muscles, an older man approaches them. He is small, but carries himself gracefully with an air that commands authority. His presence alone indicates that he is in charge as does the three gold bars above the emblem on his chest. The emblem is that of a face and a hand. The hand is raised with the first finger and thumb held together similar to an 'ok' sign and held next to the forehead. He is the director of the institution. [Director] Pleasent Experience? [Sheridan] It was unbelievable. It was like a symphony playing from the inside of my mind. [Director] You have heard the song. [Sinclair] I will never be the same again. [Director] You never were. [Sinclair] Does this affect everyone the same way [Director] Some hear, some see, all are The director abruptly turns and moves away, ending the conversation. Sinclair and Sheridan watch him as he goes. [Sheridan] No matter how many times I come here, I will never understand that man. Why does he speak in riddles? [Sinclair] Dr. Kosh simply doesn't think at the same level as the rest of us. All of this is his doing. All the theories and the design were his. He is the most intellectually advanced human ever. He is PSI Corps. [Sheridan] But it is just so spooky. Anyway, I have to get home to Anna and the kids. She doesn't really like it when I take these long weekends at PSI Corps, but she knows how much they mean to me so she lets me go. Are we going to do this again next month? [Sinclair] I'm game but Catherine is starting to talk about marraige again so we will have to see. [Sheridan] Just don't let her find out about 'Delenn'. [Sinclair] Nor should Anna find out about 'Delenn'. Even though it was harmless fun, they may not understand. Both men laugh as they move to the door. Comming in through the door is a man that looks a lot like Arnold Schwarzenegger. [Arnold, with a thick accent] Hey guys, how was the session? [Sinclair] Terrific [Arnold] Have you tried the one about the secret agent on the Mars colony? [Sinclair] Not yet, but we will get to it eventually. [Arnold] Make sure you do. It is a blast. As Arnold continues into the room our heros move towards the door with the camera preceeding them. They exit and move down a hallway into a large reception area filled with people perusing catalogs and watching video clips on miniture tvs. The continue through the large glass doors to the outside. They shake hands. [Sinclair] See you at the office tommarrow. [Sheidan] Problably not till afternoon, I have to meet with those dweebs in accounting in the morning. [Sinclair] See ya then. Sinclair departs to the right, Sheridan to the the left. The camera remains centered on the glass door, but pulls back keeping both men in frame as they walk away from each other. It continues to pull back until the large sign at the top of the building comes into view. The camera then swings to it and centers on it. It is a large reader board. Above it in large bold leters we read: Welcome to the Psuedophysical Sensing and Imaging Corporations Below the reader board is another message: Reality is only what we make it As we watch we see the following message scroll by on the reader board. Try our new BABYLON 5 adventure. The most realistic experience we have ever produced.
