:50:02
What kind was it?
:50:07
Fluorozyne.
:50:10
It's pretty rare.
:50:12
It only comes from one system
that I'm aware of. The Damocles sector.
:50:17
Were you aware that the Commander's
woman recently returned...
:50:21
...from a trading expedition
to the Damocles sector?
:50:24
- Just a minute!
- Commander-
:50:26
And that her ship, the Ulysses,
docked at this station 20 minutes...
:50:29
...before the attempted assassination?
:50:32
Damn it, leave Carolyn out of this!
:50:38
No further questions.
:50:42
Okay, you're saying you don't believe
what Lyta Alexander...
:50:45
...saw in the Ambassador's mind.
:50:47
- Based on what?
- I don't trust telepaths.|Never have, never will.
:50:51
Who knows what she really saw?
:50:54
I've seen her with Del Varner.
He kept Londo...|...from attending the reception.
:50:57
- So?
- I checked with Earth Central.
:51:00
It turns out Varner's got a criminal record
going back five years.
:51:03
He's been indicted three times
in the last year for tech- running.
:51:09
Take a look.
:51:12
All these indictments
are from the Earth Alliance court.
:51:18
Smuggling forbidden technology
from the Vega system...
:51:22
- ...same again from the Proxima system.
- Exactly.
:51:25
The minute he's on Babylon 5, he's
in Earth jurisdiction and subject to arrest.
:51:30
Why would he take that kind of risk?|There would have to be
something major at stake.
:51:34
And something else.|Varner promised to back Londo's bets
at the casino, then backed out.
:51:38
But Varner does a lot of business
with the Centauri Republic.
:51:42
Why risk alienating his clientele
by burning Londo?
:51:45
For that matter,
why promise to back Londo at all?
:51:48
Tech-runners aren't noted for generosity.
:51:50
No, and apparently
Varner's been heavily in debt.
:51:53
He couldn't have paid Londo's debts
if he'd wanted to.
:51:56
It just doesn't add up.
:51:58
I don't know how he fits in,
but I'll bet you 100 credits he's involved.
