Given that was Ulkesh, a large chunk of that shrugging off might have been through the power of sheer spite.
Actually he did believe his Aunt's prophecy, he just discounted the threat of it because he thought she was talking about shadows and not The Shadows.
His encounter suit shrugged off a significant portion of the reactor output of Babylon 5.
Also, it may be that Ulkesh was more heavily spec'd into combat and survival, while Naranek was mainly a diplomat or a teacher.
No, the Babylon 5 comics were published by D.C..
If at some point you don't quote Thanos at the squids, and spiders. I am going to lose all respect for you.
This proves he didn't try to scan Kosh's ship.
The result of this would be Paul instantly dying as every defense system in orbit and on the planet opens fire at him.
No. This is Season 1 Babylon 5. I eagerly await Paul interacting with Sheridan. I didn't get into B5 until Sheridan appeared.
Heh, I see the idea. Quietly disembark mid-flight while out of sight and head off to wherever Lyta wants to go. I'm sure there'll be quite the fuss when the transport arrives short two passengers, though.
Hmm, would this qualify as a 'Light-Year-high club'?
...Because of course someone's done it before.
Heh. Some things never change, no matter how advanced the era.
Carefully, I would imagine, if only to avoid setting off an air-leak alert.
So they'll be leaving the ship before then. I doubt even he can manage a hyperspace transit without a ship.
I can imagine the questions when the PSI agents are there waiting for them to exit... And they don't.
Besides, they'd be seen going to the cargo bay. Which is likely not as comfortable as the passenger blocks.
Good, don't want to wreck the ship because of a single pinprick. Although the view must be amazing without anything in the way.
Given she's outside in space with apparently nothing between her and hard vacuum, you bet she's holding tight.
That'll be an interesting sensor reading if anything picked them up. For one thing, there's no FTL drive that small in existence anywhere in their universe, is there?
Congratulation, Ms Alexander, you are now the second human to ever travel faster than light without a starship.
I doubt it's anywhere near as fancy-looking as most sci-fi makes it look. A faint shimmer from blue in front to red behind, maybe.
At least she has the sense to not try and attack him while they're out in the open. Or is simply too terrified to consider it.
Another assumption based on too little information, but he can be excused for that.
Amazing how quickly something amazing can become mundane. Especially once the adrenaline wears off.
Well, you hope you can leave promptly.
Well, close enough to the truth for government work, anyway.
Which is probably all the more terrifying to her. A complete unknown, carrying her god-knows-where wrapped in nothing but a glowing outline...
Okay, that did make me wonder when she didn't react to him using that name.
Either she's not up on vintage pop culture from two and a half centuries back, or someone in charge of her was.
Although they were very different shades of red. Mostly because of comic-book colouring styles.
Ah, now that might take some explaining.
Technically, yes.
Hard to argue with something impossible by human understanding of everything.
Oh, where to start.
Since humans haven't devised any technological way of detecting telepathic energies, at least in general circulation.
Well, we know there's a bit of Kosh encouraging her to do so...
Don't be too sure, Speaker. I'm sure they'd send covert operatives somehow.
...Oh, that's going to raise so many alarms.
...So, so many alarms.
Yes, the Shadows have one and the Mindwalkers are their own FTL system.
He shouldn't be able to slide through their orbital defenses period.
I mean, to be entirely fair, somebody being slid across dimensions and forwards in time is pretty much the dictionary example of an Outside Context Problem.
'Corps'.
I can imagine a jump-gate construct would be just a little complex, even for the Illustres.
'Psi Cops' is their title. Because of course it is.
Maybe some of the First Ones? But among the younger races, no. I think I recall one of the things making the White Stars revolutionary was they were a remarkably small ship to mount an onboard jump drive...
Vorlon ships naturally have their own jump drives, but the gate is convenient and diplomatic; but the curious thing though is that while the Vorlons use normal jump drives and jump gates, Shadow Battlecrabs are actually capable of phasing in and out of hyperspace on their own (the visual effect used is reminiescent of a classic Trek cloaking device), no jump point needed.
...Oh, that's going to raise so many alarms.
...So, so many alarms.
The Torvorus Speculators had their short hop system and the Kirshiaric Lords their gravity based system.
Shadow ships can also create hyperspace tunnels.
Hyperspace isn't just not 1 to 1 with real space, distances actually change.
That was their dimensional drive.
The Shadows don't actually. While all the First Ones like Hyperspace because they are all advanced enough to fuck with it to a similar manner to the Forerunners and Slipspace, the Shadows are the undisputed masters of Hyperspace. They can even warp Hyperspace into wormholes.
But there's no evidence they can use this for personal ftl.
It's been awhile, but as I recall (and as I mentioned before) the 'mundanes' generally regard 'teeps' in the same way Marvel Civilians regard mutants; distrust and fear at best.
