Opening Narration:
"I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind. It began in the Earth year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats and travellers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risks because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form. A dream of a galaxy without war, and species of different worlds could live, side by side in mutual respect. A dream that was in danger as never before, by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations, this is its story." - Ambassador Londo Mollari
Overview:
Babylon 5 awaits its last alien ambassador, Kosh, of the mysterious Vorlon Empire. Unfortunately, upon his arrival, he is poisoned by an unknown assassin and is taken to Medlab for emergency treatment, but as they don’t know where the poison was put in (as Kosh wears an encounter suit) and what the poison is, the Ambassador will die unless something is done. Dr. Kyle wants to open up the encounter suit to examine him, but the Vorlon Empire forbid this, but Commander Sinclair order’s it done anyway to save Kosh’s life.
Dr. Kyle and Commander Takashima arrange (without Sinclair’s knowledge) for the telepath Lyta Alexander to scan the unconscious Vorlon to try and find out about the poison. When she does, it seems that Commander Sinclair is responsible for the poisoning. She manages also though to find out where the poison was put into Kosh and by the description Dr. Kyle also manages to find out what sort of poison it is. By using this information Dr. Kyle sets off to create an antidote.
Ambassador G’Kar heads a prosecution team to extradite Sinclair for murder to the Vorlon homeworld for trial. The Vote is passed.
The Assassin goes to Medlab to finish the job but fails in the attempt and runs off. Sinclair then finds out that he is using a changeling net to impersonate various station personal so that he could move around easily. As the changeling net uses a large power source, Sinclair and Gariabldi track him down. Whilst a Vorlon fleet arrives to pick up Sinclair and are prepared to destroy the station if they do not let them have him. Sinclair manages to catch the assassin and by using a floating camera (which was sent to follow him to record what happened) every sees (including the Vorlon fleet) that the Assassin was a Minbari using the changeling net. As the wounded Minbari is about to die, he activates a bomb, but Sinclair manages to escape the explosion.
Kosh survives the assassination attempt and takes up his post as the Vorlon Ambassador.
Sinclair finds out that G’Kar was involved with the conspiracy to frame the Earth Alliance and the Centuari. He was trying and get the Vorlons or Minbari to ally themselves with the Narn. Sinclair warns G’Kar never to endanger the station again and he finds suitable punishment for him...
