590 00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:00,337 and love of duty. 591 00:29:00,339 --> 00:29:01,839 But what happens 592 00:29:01,841 --> 00:29:06,977 when those 2 are no longer the same thing? 593 00:29:06,979 --> 00:29:09,613 Now, the time I spent on Babylon 5, 594 00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:12,916 I learned about choices and consequences 595 00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:14,751 and responsibility. 596 00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:17,287 I learned that we all have choices, 597 00:29:17,289 --> 00:29:19,590 even when we don't recognize them, 598 00:29:19,592 --> 00:29:23,494 and that those choices have consequences 599 00:29:23,496 --> 00:29:27,263 not just for ourselves but for others 600 00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:29,299 and we must assume responsibility 601 00:29:29,301 --> 00:29:31,802 for those consequences. 602 00:29:31,804 --> 00:29:33,837 I and my fellow officers 603 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:40,310 had to choose between what we were told was right 604 00:29:40,312 --> 00:29:41,979 and what we believed was right. 605 00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,283 And now I take full responsibility 606 00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:48,785 for those decisions. 607 00:29:53,926 --> 00:29:55,859 I love Earth. 608 00:29:55,861 --> 00:29:58,128 And now for my love of Earth, 609 00:29:58,130 --> 00:30:01,498 I find I must walk away from my love of duty. 610 00:30:03,536 --> 00:30:06,870 My presence would be a constant reminder 611 00:30:06,872 --> 00:30:08,639 of what has divided us, 612 00:30:08,641 --> 00:30:11,307 instead of that which brings us together. 613 00:30:11,309 --> 00:30:13,577 And for that reason... 614 00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:19,816 And President Luchenko's generous offer of amnesty 615 00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,052 for all those who served under me... 616 00:30:24,557 --> 00:30:28,224 I'm announcing my resignation from Earthforce. 617 00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:34,064 I do this in the hope 618 00:30:34,066 --> 00:30:35,131 that those who fought on both sides 619 00:30:35,133 --> 00:30:38,569 will put aside their disagreements... 620 00:30:38,571 --> 00:30:40,070 And come together 621 00:30:40,072 --> 00:30:42,673 in a new spirit of cooperation... 622 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:48,144 For we are all children of Earth. 623 00:30:51,617 --> 00:30:53,050 Thank you. 624 00:30:56,589 --> 00:30:59,590 To commemorate this very special day, 625 00:30:59,592 --> 00:31:03,093 the league of non-aligned worlds 626 00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:06,863 asked to address this gathering. 627 00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,231 Ambassador. 628 00:31:16,108 --> 00:31:18,441 For many years, 629 00:31:18,443 --> 00:31:19,910 all of us here 630 00:31:19,912 --> 00:31:22,545 have prized our good relations with Earth. 631 00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:25,048 You have shown, through your example, 632 00:31:25,050 --> 00:31:28,218 that strength comes from a multitude of voices 633 00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:31,554 brought together in common cause. 634 00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:34,557 Humans form communities. 635 00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:37,060 In that spirit, we have voted to dissolve 636 00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:39,229 the league of non-aligned worlds 637 00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:42,065 and create a new alliance 638 00:31:42,067 --> 00:31:45,401 based on mutual cooperation 639 00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:47,504 and respect, 640 00:31:47,506 --> 00:31:50,406 an alliance born 641 00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:53,010 in the diverse voices of many worlds, 642 00:31:53,012 --> 00:31:57,514 joined by their desire to build a better future, 643 00:31:57,516 --> 00:32:02,085 and their decision to voluntarily recognize 644 00:32:02,087 --> 00:32:03,954 a common authority. 645 00:32:03,956 --> 00:32:05,956 Ambassador. 646 00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:13,363 This new alliance will help less advanced worlds 647 00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:14,564 improve their conditions. 648 00:32:14,566 --> 00:32:17,034 It'll encourage better relations between our races, 649 00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:19,369 and promote free trade. 650 00:32:19,371 --> 00:32:23,140 Above all, it will work to create peace. 651 00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:25,175 Central to this process 652 00:32:25,177 --> 00:32:26,810 is a group of humans and Minbari, 653 00:32:26,812 --> 00:32:28,311 trained to work together 654 00:32:28,313 --> 00:32:30,446 and dedicated to the higher principles 655 00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:32,883 of duty, honor, and peace. 656 00:32:32,885 --> 00:32:34,818 They have been entrusted 657 00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:37,888 with the most advanced fleet of ships in existence, 658 00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:40,456 now that the first ones have left us. 659 00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,092 [Rumbling] 660 00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:48,799 Among my people, they are called the anla-shok. 661 00:32:48,801 --> 00:32:50,300 Among your people, 662 00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:53,070 they are called the Rangers. 663 00:32:53,072 --> 00:32:54,437 [Rumbling louder] 664 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,639 [Sonic boom] 665 00:33:09,354 --> 00:33:10,854 They come in peace, 666 00:33:10,856 --> 00:33:14,191 and will stay only where they are invited to stay. 667 00:33:14,193 --> 00:33:16,093 They will help protect you from raiders 668 00:33:16,095 --> 00:33:17,994 and invasion by other races. 669 00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:19,796 They will work with your military 670 00:33:19,798 --> 00:33:21,131 to strengthen your borders, 671 00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:22,733 but understand 672 00:33:22,735 --> 00:33:25,535 that they will do so equally and fairly. 673 00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:28,038 If you are planning a war of aggression 674 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,039 against your neighbors, 675 00:33:29,041 --> 00:33:31,041 the Rangers will hear about it, 676 00:33:31,043 --> 00:33:32,709 and so will your neighbors. 677 00:33:32,711 --> 00:33:34,377 If other worlds in the alliance 678 00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:35,378 choose to intervene 679 00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,380 on behalf of those being attacked, 680 00:33:37,382 --> 00:33:39,382 the Rangers will provide the information 681 00:33:39,384 --> 00:33:42,052 but will not intervene directly. 682 00:33:43,222 --> 00:33:45,989 Their goal is to create the peace, 683 00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:47,457 not enforce the peace. 684 00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:51,494 This is a political and economic alliance, 685 00:33:51,496 --> 00:33:53,964 not one based on military strength. 686 00:33:53,966 --> 00:33:55,698 The gains you will achieve 687 00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:57,868 by working peacefully with other races 688 00:33:57,870 --> 00:34:01,371 far outweigh anything you might achieve by force. 689 00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:04,141 The alliance recognizes your sovereign right 690 00:34:04,143 --> 00:34:06,910 to govern your own people by your own will. 691 00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:08,578 But membership in the alliance 692 00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:11,081 means that you will honor a code of conduct 693 00:34:11,083 --> 00:34:13,083 in your relations with other worlds, 694 00:34:13,085 --> 00:34:14,151 or risk losing 695 00:34:14,153 --> 00:34:16,452 all the things we stand to give you. 696 00:34:16,454 --> 00:34:19,122 Finally, each member race will be able 697 00:34:19,124 --> 00:34:21,158 to contribute volunteers to join the Rangers, 698 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,459 thereby assuring their independence 699 00:34:23,461 --> 00:34:25,095 and fairness. 700 00:34:25,097 --> 00:34:26,663 All of us have agreed 701 00:34:26,665 --> 00:34:30,600 to recognize the independent authority of the Rangers. 702 00:34:30,602 --> 00:34:32,602 Madam President, 703 00:34:32,604 --> 00:34:34,104 honored guests, 704 00:34:34,106 --> 00:34:38,108 I now invite you to join the new alliance. 705 00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:41,111 You may decline, if that is your wish. 706 00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:45,115 We will leave in peace and honor your decision. 707 00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:47,217 But if you accept, 708 00:34:47,219 --> 00:34:48,819 we believe it will signal 709 00:34:48,821 --> 00:34:52,722 a new age of peace and prosperity. 710 00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:59,028 The invitation to join your new alliance 711 00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:00,529 is tempting, Ambassador, 712 00:35:00,531 --> 00:35:02,298 but many of our Generals 713 00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:04,968 are skeptical about your claims to neutrality. 714 00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:07,436 I fully understand, madam President. 715 00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:08,571 No one in this room 716 00:35:08,573 --> 00:35:10,840 is more suspicious of these things than I am. 717 00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:14,043 No race more prideful than the Centauri. 718 00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:16,646 But we are tired of war, 719 00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:18,681 and believe that this will help 720 00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,316 to create peace between us. 721 00:35:20,318 --> 00:35:22,418 Peace is a concept. 722 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:27,290 If I'm going to sell this to my Generals 723 00:35:27,292 --> 00:35:28,291 and the public, 724 00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:30,226 I'm going to need something 725 00:35:30,228 --> 00:35:31,460 a little more tangible. 726 00:35:31,462 --> 00:35:33,529 Then you will have it. 727 00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:35,765 In the past, we have kept 728 00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:38,301 many of our technological advances to ourselves. 729 00:35:38,303 --> 00:35:40,303 In a gesture of good faith, 730 00:35:40,305 --> 00:35:42,305 we will show you how to use energy fields 731 00:35:42,307 --> 00:35:43,973 to create gravity in your ships, 732 00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,474 eliminating the need 733 00:35:45,476 --> 00:35:47,310 to manufacture slower, less efficient ships 734 00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:49,745 that rotate to create gravity. 735 00:35:49,747 --> 00:35:52,515 As a spacefaring race dependent upon trade 736 00:35:52,517 --> 00:35:53,582 with other worlds, 737 00:35:53,584 --> 00:35:55,919 I'm sure you see the advantage in this. 738 00:35:55,921 --> 00:35:58,554 It's tempting. 739 00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:04,260 If... if we decide to pursue this, 740 00:36:04,262 --> 00:36:06,796 who should we negotiate with? 741 00:36:06,798 --> 00:36:08,298 You? 742 00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:09,799 No. 743 00:36:09,801 --> 00:36:12,501 The 3 of us make up 744 00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:14,304 the advisory board of the new alliance. 745 00:36:14,306 --> 00:36:18,341 We have a duly elected President, as you do. 746 00:36:18,343 --> 00:36:21,311 And where can I find this President? 747 00:36:21,313 --> 00:36:22,312 [Door slams shut] 748 00:36:22,314 --> 00:36:23,313 General Foote: You?! 749 00:36:23,315 --> 00:36:25,114 Sheridan: Funny thing
