Nothing, really...we just grabbed one of the audio bits from the
day's filming and dropped it in.

Those were Soul Hunters, who in the first season we learned
showed up to attempt to grab Dukhat's soul...they were prevented from
successfully boarding the ship by the Minbari, who threw up a wall of
bodies to stop them (which is why there were few around with Delenn and
Dukhat; Soul Hunters are a pretty advanced sort, the terror of Minbari,
and it took a lot to stop them). After Dukhat died, Delenn went down
and joined in, confronting them about this.

What airs is considered canon; in 15 years, nobody's gonna be
hauling these messages around. But the show will still be on the air.
If it airs, it's canon.

And in another one of those posts, I did mention that on just a
couple of small occasions, I have fibbed when asked major story arc
questions to protect future storylines from being deflated....

He could have left Dukhat a message...but tampering in the
future is VERY chancy business, and could even make things worse, for
all we know.

Yeah, some are more accurate than others.

I have NOT fibbed about past works.

Denied, denied and denied, sure, but fibbed, never.....

You're right.

I am dust beneath thy feet.

I shall now sit in my garden and eat worms all day as penance.

Yes, some Minbari on the Grey Council think that Sinclair opened
up the "soul door," for lack of a better term, and Delenn's actions can
be seen as a kind of back-fire, closing the door again. Ain't
necessarily what's true, but what they believe.

And yes, they would've had Delenn remain childless, but would be
allowed to marry a Minbari. And, again, it's a matter of marrying a
non-Minbari with or WITHOUT kids...it's a very inflammatory sort of
thing from a cultural perspective.

> HOW did they do so much damage?

They targeted visually, it was close enough to do so.

A hit with full guns of a major destroyer and accompanying
ships will kill damn near any single ship that does not have some kind
of defensive screen going (fighers or counter-lasers or missiles or the
like).

The fightes wer launched in main while on approach.

Franklin and Marcus *were* strapped in, which if you look more
closely you can see.
