That Delenn approved his travel to Minbar heavily suggests he didn't.
Worst case scenario? It could cause the Earth-Minbari war to start back up.
In one hundred percent of my interactions with non-Earthlings, yes, yes I do.
Why would you do a thing like that..?
Thank you, corrected.
Yeah, 'law' isn't a monolithic entity, it's dozens of small disciplines loosely grouped by topic. An expert tin one isn't going to be well- skilled in another.
And while it's unlikely he's going to handle the case himself, he can point you to someone who can.
How prosaic. Been a long time since we saw this simple an interaction.
A little bit of comforting normality for at least one League member, at least.
The tricky part of talking to someone who you know by multiple names: using th right one.
No accounting for supervillain logic...
It's easy to forget how spread out some supervillains can be.
So few people seem to care about the content, though.
Just a little, yes...
Yeah, that's it. Stick it to the smiling bastard.
Indeed, often on video.
Hence his coming to Arnus.
Putting him in a real difficult spot, OL.
It would leave OL open to all sorts of legal issues later.
Paraphrasing OL's catchphrase at him. Cheeky, Arnus.
Not a lot of people who can manage that.
Which means Luthor might get wind of it somehow if he hasn't already.
Certainly, Luthor's never been prosecuted successfully for anything criminal.
In other weds, anyone else would require going in blind.
As a purely hypothetical, maybe.
That overcomplicates thing, but it could work.
Just don't be too obvious about it if you do.
Ah, there's the rub? Which country?
And again, it's a matter of trusting them to do what he wants.
At least he has a starting point now
Thank you, corrected.
It could also be used to alter minds by altering the data kept in the eye drive.
That would be the whole point of the Babylon 5 station.
The massive deaths were a happy byproduct for the Centauri.
Ah, the very loud silence of stunned surprise that can quickly turn into anger. And Matthew's presence by her side isn't going to help much if someone decides to give the 'bonehead' a talking-to...
And any Minbari coming to Earth would be doing the equivalent of driving into a bad neighbourhood in a flashy car. What Ankh-Morporkians would call 'premeditated suicide'.
Yes, the problem here is...
...Yes, that extended hand is likely to get smacked aside or worse.
...She's relentlessly optimistic, isn't she? I wonder if it's just a pose for her or if she's really that naive...
Especially if they were in the military at the time. Those would be the folks staring daggers.
So, so foolishly optimistic.
Ah, yes. The slow spread as one person looking at the door goes wide-eyed then those sitting with them turn to see why, then the folks not paying attention notice it going quiet...
And the police would probably be close at hand if anything turned violent. Not necessarily jumping in right away, I suspect, but if it looks likely to turn lethal...
Pretty clear where that one stands, then.
Ah, trying to convey a sense of 'don't mind her, she's a little slow.' Better they think her a fool than think she's taunting them.
It was that or face some rather loud complaints and possibly thrown food.
Oh, boy. I wonder how many people will turn up just to see how high-and-mighty she acts. She might never act that way on purpose, but it's very easy for Minbari to seem condescending.
The relationship is rather like tinder and wood-dust. One spark and you have a firestorm. So let's not try to be that spark?
Talking would require a level of social contact far calmer than 'silent stares in the street'.
The particular logical problem that can best be summed up as 'damned if you do, damned if you don't.'
Yes, it's probably a concept the Minbari would struggle with, given their tendency towards submission to legitimate authority.
And with every failure, it gets harder and harder to make the attempts.
Yep. And so both sides sit behind their walls, slowly stewing until it all boils over again.
I'm sure every human ear in the place is not-so-discreetly listening in right now. And more than a few electronic ones too.
Ah, yes. It can be hard for Matthew to notice what language they're speaking due to Ring translation... Which means that every person in the place heard every word they said.
Sometimes that sort of violence can shock even the people committing it, after all.
Except it wasn't practical, unless you could somehow send in teams to extract every person in a leadership position simultaneously.
Certainly, trying to phrase her opinion in a manner more sympathetic to the human listeners would be wiser.
As noted, many poets, musicians and other artistic folks oppose wartime leaderships in the best way they can. Generally by asking people 'this is wrong, isn't it?'
Instinct for incoming trouble already honed, I see.
Most likely because of the Lyta Alexander thing.
Yes.
As I recall the titular 'Catch 22' was that being insane would get you kicked out of the Army Air Forces - but if you were actually insane they wouldn't have let you into the Army Air Forces. But it's been awhile.
She's a poet. And it's clear that the "but I believed the right things!" mindset is, unfortunately, not specific to humans.
That'd be the first three rows.
