ALT.BABYLON.UK 5 START UP SEQUENCE

Simon: It was begining of a new age in mankind's history books, the third one. Fourteen years after the Earth-Minbari war. alt.babylon5.uk had failed - we were in the middle of one of the most fierce wars that was tearing the universe to shreads - and they still came. The Babylon Project gave way to a new hope, the hope that the number of test threads would be dramatically reduced. The year: 2272, the name of the place is alt.babylon5.uk.

ILOLOLLOY
You know what - perhaps I should just let you go on in...

BRACK
Yes - oh and by the way, I'm sorry to hear that your cat died today.

::The door opens revealing Mike Nudd::

NUDD

NUDD
Could you get me a tissue?

MARKWCATS
What on EARTH is it that you were attempting to do? Who put you up to this?

ILOLOLLOY
Brack... It was Brack.

::LEGEND - 20 Minutes Later::

MARKWCATS
What on EARTH was it that you were attempting to do?

BRACK
If I tell you will you let me go?

MARKWCATS
NO! You just attempted an assasination!

BRACK
Fine - then I won't tell you!

MARKWCATS
OK - if it comes down to this.

::Sits down, grabs a script and flicks through the pages::

MARKWCATS
::Leaps up:: So - you were doing this to weaken the Narn Regime and to attempt to get revenge on Jefferson for taking the telepaths.

JEFFERSON
WHAT telepaths?

MARKWCATS
The ones which were taken from the ship...

JEFFERSON
WE, didn't take them!

BRACK
I saw them in my mind. You were speaking with Mr. Duffey...

JEFFERSON
No - that was about Duffey wanted for me to store 500 crates of Fresh Spoo. He wanted it to help him get re-elected into the council!

BRACK
What?

JEFFERSON
Duffey is in danger of losing his place on the council - he is attempting to 'bribe' his way back in by giving away spoo!

BRACK
Aah!

MARKWCATS
You're gonna have to re-think your strategy...

9. Command Central

GERRANS
Our ship has been destroyed - we're stuck here...

BATTY
I don't care - you shouldn't have been here anyway. You were a security risk - now I guess you gather up your friends now and get this android to leave me along...

GERRANS
Got it - Hey, you're a pretty cool chick. How would ya like to come back to my quarters and see what I can do with my extra arm and head!

BATTY
You're really bad at this coming on thing...

GERRANS
Fine - Do you know where Miss Houlding is - is she single?

BATTY
No - she's going steady with Callum.

GERRANS
He's probably dead anyway - either that or making love to some beautiful Telepath on Sigma Alpha VI.

BATTY
We're still looking for you.

GUARD #002
SIR! We're detecting an escape pod - with a lifesign inside...

GUARD #003
Registers with Captain Noble's DNA...

BATTY
Mr Gerrans - do you wish to re-phrase that?
