: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.
:52:03
Then I think it's about time
you had a little talk with Mr. Varner.
:52:13
Ambassador Mollari.
:52:16
I'd like to discuss your vote with you.
:52:21
The Babylon 5 Advisory Council
is hereby reconvened.
:52:27
Recorders are activated?
:52:31
Ambassador G'Kar,
you wish to make a motion?
:52:35
Commander Sinclair is
a respected member of the Earth Alliance...
:52:39
...and of this Council.
:52:41
The idea that he may have been involved
with the attempted murder...
:52:45
...of Ambassador Kosh,
is repellent to everyone here.
:52:48
Granted, there is a history of animosity
between some of our member races.
:52:53
Granted, Commander Sinclair personally
took part in the recent Earth-Minbari war.
:52:58
- Granted-
- Ambassador.
