4[]

  • The Minbari assassin secretly boards Babylon 5 using a one person Breaching pod. He later kills Del Varner and uses the changeling net to impersonate him.
  • Carolyn Sykes arrives on Babylon 5 aboard her trade vessel, the Ulysses, twenty minutes before Ambassador Kosh's ship docks.
  • Ambassador Kosh's ship arrives at the Epsilon III Jumpgate two days ahead of schedule. Upon leaving his ship the Minbari assassin approaches Kosh in the guise of Jeffrey Sinclair, whom Kosh recognises as Entil'Zha Valen. When he extends a hand in greeting to his 'old friend' the Minbari slaps a skin tab dosed with Florazyne, causing Kosh to collapse and lose consciousness.[6]

5[]

  • Against the wishes of the Vorlon Empire, Doctor Benjamin Kyle opens Kosh's Encounter suit and determines that Kosh has indeed been poisoned and with the rate that his life signs are dropping, will die within the next 24 hours.
  • With the confirmation of an assassination attempt, Commander Sinclair orders Babylon 5 sealed off until the culprit is found.
  • Dr. Kyle enlists the help of Lyta Alexander to scan Kosh and determine the entry point for the toxin. This encounter is the first time a human is known to have seen a Vorlon or scanned one. After scanning Kosh, Lyta implicates Sinclair as the assassin.[6]

6[]

  • With the information provided by Lyta, Doctor Kyle is able to determine the presence of Florazyne in Kosh's system. Unable to find a known antidote he instead alters a similar compound to do the same job and succeeds in stabilising Kosh's condition.
  • The Minbari assassin makes a second attempt on Kosh's life, this time disguised as Lyta Alexander.
  • A Vorlon fleet arrives at Babylon 5 demanding the extradition of Commander Sinclair.
  • Sinclair and security chief Garibaldi pursue the would-be assassin to Red 12 where he is cornered. The assassin activates a self-destruct which nearly knocks the station completely off it's axis. The entire incident is transmitted via Recorders to the Vorlon fleet outside. Seeing the Minbari in a changling net they accept Sinclair's innocence and depart.[6]

8[]

  • With Kosh fully recovered, the command staff and all of the major Ambassadors to Babylon 5 attend a formal reception in his honour.[6]
