Death Before Dishonor
The Tuchanq, a newly discovered humanoid species, can be an important
ally for the Earth Alliance commanded by President Clark. So Captain
John Sheridan welcomes their ambassadors to babylon 5, not knowing
that among them is D'arc - a mass murderer on the run hoping to escape
into the unsuspecting worlds of the galaxy....
Clark's Law
But the unforgiving rules of space have a different fate in store for
D'arc. A terrifying accident wipes away D'arc's identity and his
evil... leaving behind a loving, innocent being with a child's mind -
a being that must die because President Clark, a leader with his own
secret agenda, orders his immediate execution. Now, as Babylon 5
physician Dr. Stephen Franklin begs Sheridan to defy Clark's law, the
captain faces the greatest test of his command - and a far greater
test of his manhood, which may end his career in shame or become a
shining reminder of what being human truly means....
Synopsis
Prologue: Lies
"Earth: First Lie": Opening in November of 2242, we see the Captain of
the Earth vessel which fired on the Minbari lie to the president and
then Vice President Santiago about who fired first. Captaion Ferdinand
claims it is the Minbari who fired first.
"Earth: Second Lie": The scene opens on now President Clark in October
of 2258 (See [15]Notes.) Clark has been plotting to reinstate the
death penalty to regain popularity among humans by maintaining control
and re-initiating capital punishment. Clark's internal thoughts also
turn to the problems with Earth's colonies without which Earth could
not survive. The senate is tied on the vote about re-instating capital
punishment. Clark lies when the speaker of the senate asks if it will
be equally applied to both humans and aliens. Answering yes, the
speaker of the senate agrees to pass the law.
"Tuchanq: First Lie": The scene is inside a Narn battle cruiser as
G'Kar drops Centauri plasma generators on Tuchanq. After a few days
G'Kar lands the Narn cruiser offering the Tuchanq assistance in
recovering from the devestation caused by the "Centauri."
"Tuchanq: Second Lie": October 2259, we see D'Arc of the Tuchanq
killing the last of the Narn on Tuchanq and then boarding a Narn
cruiser to head for Babylon 5 in search of assistance. Tuchanq has
suffered tremendous environmental damage from years of Narn
enslavement.
Part One: Among Shadows (December 12, 2259, Day)
The story opens on Sheridan eating breakfast and trying to cope with
the mounds of paperwork that he needs to deeal with as well as his own
discomfort in his role as commander of Babylon 5. His mind turns the
phrase "If you go to Z'ha'dum you will die" over and over again as he
contemplates life. (See In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum)
Ivanova interupts his inner turmoil in order to be briefed on the
arrival of the Tuchanq delegation. She remarks on the unusual fact
that they are quadrapeds and after some jokes about the paper horizon
and stations vanishing, he leaves her in charge of the matter. The
problem for the Tuchanq is that there world's ecosystem has been
destroyed by the Narn occupation.
"The Corps is your friend. Trust the Corps" Ivanova is still plagued
with thoughts about her friendship with Talia and hears her whispered
words, more than just the touch of bodies, the touch of minds. After
shaking herself awake from her nap, she struggles to gain inner peace
as the core shuttle heads towards arrivals. The inner struggle relates
to her continued denial of her telepathic abilities and the need to
hide it to avoid the Psi Cops.
Arriving in the customs area, things were already turning ugly. The
Tuchanq were engaged in a bizzare ritual involving leaving blood on
the floor of the arrival area. G'Kar had helped program a translator
for Ivanova, but she turned out not to need it because they spoke
System English. The ritual then involved cutting their throats and
bleeding because their customs require returning something to the
land.
Anti-alien sentiments begin to break out and Ivanova realizes the
situation is quickly escalating out of control. Then a Narn spots a
Narn skull attached to one of the Tuchanq and fighting begins in
earnest. Ivanova is finally forced to stun the delegation with her PPG
to prevent further violence. Unfortunately the Tuchanq do not sleep,
at least not as humans understand the concept, and by making them stop
singing their songs of being and journey through the stunner, they are
now all dead (insane.)
The scene shifts back to Sheridan's office where G'Kar is imploring
Sheridan to get the Tuchanq off the station and to make ammends for
the sole death from the incident -- a Narn. Sheridan refuses his
request and G'Kar leaves in disgust.
D'Arc awakens surround by Medlab personel and quickly realizes that
her Song of Being is broken. She attacks one of the Medlab people with
a knife which she withdraws from some sort of body pouch and flees
with her Song of Journey running strong. In order to be whole again,
she would need to steal a new Song of Being from someone else.
Londo Mollari meanwhile begins trying to jockey for a chance to meet
with the Tuchanq. His conscience is still wracked with images of the
bombardment of the Narn homeworld and their destruction of their
civilization. Mollari meets up with Garibaldi who explains that the
Tuchanq are "killing" each other to cure the insanity. Once the
remaining sane Tuchanq break the Song of Journey they will be
pronounced dead and be reborn with new Songs of Being and Journey.
nu'Viel (their leader/mother) explains to Ivanova the urgency of
catching D'Arc to which Ivanova points out the size of the station and
their limited resources.
Brian Grond would become D'Arc's target. He would not realize this
yet, but his taste for peverse (See [16]Notes) sexual activities with
aliens along with his need to record them would be his downfall. Grond
was hoping to have an especially interesting encounter with Belladona
with whom he had already had several encounters. Down Below he went to
where he expected to find Belladona but she was not there. Then his
eyes met those of D'Arc. He makes an offer to give her cash if she
will take him to Belladona. D'Arc expresses her desire to murder him
with a confusing discussion of the need to take his Song of Being,
Grond merely replies yes and he heads off towards his death.
The PPG he is carrying does not save him when in the middle of a cargo
hold D'Arc pulls the knife from her pouch and kills him taking his
Song of Being. In the process, a cargo loader impacts a crane in the
cargo area leading to the possibility of the crane impacting the
station's structure and causing a rupture.
Franklin and other Medlab personnel head out to rescue the trapped
crane operator. He goes out suited up because the area has become
depressurized. Further he will have to amputate the crane operator's
leg inside the suit. The timing is close to the wire and the crane
does in fact impact the station but Franklin and the crane operator
survive, barely.
Lyta Alexander appears briefly as we see her thoughts turning to the
need to stay out of site and her desire to be able to visit the Vorlon
homeworld. Garibaldi interupts her reverie and asks for a telepathic
favor involving Tuchanq. In a moment that recalls Lyta's first role in
the pilot, she enters the Isolab to scan Tuchanq. Lyta explains that
D'Arc is like a newborn child with _no memory_ at any level of the
events that resulted in Grond's death. As Lyta leaves Medlab she
starts to hear the song, Kosh's song and realizes that nothing
separates her from the Vorlons except some empty space -- and she does
know how to deal with that.
This section of the book ends with a Gold Channel transmission from
Earth ordering Sheridan to hold D'Arc for the death penalty.
Part Two: Hunting Shadows (December 12, 2259, Night)
This section opens on Jacintha Grond's arrival at Babylon 5 customs.
(See [17]Notes). She is surprised to be greated by the ubiquitous
press specifically Debora Deverau of Channel 57 News. (See [18]Notes).
Grond is bombarded with a barrage of questions about how she feels on
a variety of issues -- "What will you do if they won't release his
body?". A security officer finally takes her hand and leads her away
from the media frenzy.
Mollari meanwhile is scheming to provide assistance to the Tuchanq.
With the help of Vir he manages to arrange a meeting with nu'Viel and
her chorus. Exploiting their hatred of the Narn, Mollari is able to
extend a credible offer of assistance.
Sheridan gets a chance to meet with Jacintha Grond who is rather
confused and upset at this point. He explains to her that he can not
release the body because it is needed for evidence and that she will
have to basically deal with the situation. She explains that she
intends to be on a return shuttle in 16 hours. Grond also takes her
anger out on Sheridan explaining that she holds him personally
responsible for the situation. Sheridan's inner frustration and
turmoil is evident but he merely invites her to remain on the station
and explains he will do the best he can.
Franklin's overuse of stims is starting to have a noticeable effect.
His first chance of sleep is interupted by the arrival of the
executioner. The executioner wants to use the life giver machine,
[19]Quality of Mercy to perform the execution and demands it from
Franklin. Franklin resists and the executioner summons Garibaldi who
seems to have been waiting for this eventuality. Garbildi recommends
that Franklin comply by providing some bits and pieces to fool the
executioner in the meanwhile.
Sheridan approaches Delenn in search of assistance and guidance. He is
disappointed to realize that Delenn has already been approached by
Earth Gov and has reluctantly agreed not to interfere. The reason she
explains has to do with her post-chrysalis state and the likelihood
that the Grey Council would overrule her.
On a core shuttle, G'Kar is attacked by Tuchanqs. G'Kar survives with
only minor injuries and a closer examination reveals that someone has
equiped humans with changling nets to make them look like Tuchanqs.
Garbaldi was already plenty busy, he had found the executioner
buldgeoned to death in the Mosque where he had gone to pray while
Franklin produced the life-giver machine. A decision is made to pay
n'Grath a visit to find out where the changling nets came from.
Garbaldi has his teams scan red sector so that he can learn where
n'Grath is to meet him. He stops in on Ivanova and they end up
fighting about the upcoming execution. Ivanova fairly clearly against
and Garbaldi somewhat indifferent to pro-execution. There attempts to
communicate are interupted by Garibaldi's comm indicating that n'Grath
has been located.
G'Kar and Vir encounter each other again and Vir is clearly still
trying to figure out how to help G'Kar and the Narns. There last
meeting had been several months back and had not gone well. G'Kar asks
Vir whether or not Mollari had him attacked and G'Kar nonetheless
hounds him further and leaves Vir feeling very uncomfortable. Vir of
course is aware that Mollari did in fact plot the attack. (See
[20]Notes.)
Vir goes and tells Londo about his meeting with G'Kar and accuses
Londo directly. Mollari refuses to answer the question, and provides
no useful information about whether or not he had G'Kar attacked.
Garibaldi arrives in Red Sector too late to for n'Grath. The creature
is bleeding and he calls for an emergency team to assist the alien.
n'Grath refuses to divulge information providing only a name "Askari"
and an admission that he did sell the nets. Garibaldi turns and
catches the motion of a gun, instead he gets a blast in his face of a
PPG. The faceplate of his suit ruptured.
G'Kar decides that he will handle Askari, a Centauri himself.
Approaching Askari he grabs him and demands to know who hired him.
Askari admits it was Mollari. G'Kar then leaves him for dead from the
dagger wound.
Violence begins to erupt on the station as protesters for and
primarily against the execution begin to start filling common areas.
Grond is starting to have a crisis about what to do and resolves to go
see D'Arc.
G'Kar comes in and attackes Mollari with his dagger. He leaves Mollari
for dead with the dagger in his back. Vir arrives and removes the
dagger and conceals it before summoning Medlab. G'Kar leaves with the
intention of committing suicide.
In Medlab, Garibaldi comes around and then Kosh shows up and
enigmatically mentions that "Obligation is a hangman's nooose.".
Meanwhile Ivanova brings nuViel to Sheridan to help lodge a protest
against the death penalty being applied to D'Arc. As they are talking
a gold channel transmission puts Sheridan in charge of everything --
trial and execution. After the transmission, nuViel decieds that
perhaps the Centauri a better choice to pursue aide from.
Part Three: Becoming Shadows (December 13, 2259, Day)
Jacintha Grond heads to security to visit D'Arc. She sees that D'Arc
is clearly suffering from brain damage based on the erratic behaviour
D'Arc is demonstrating in the holding cell. Jacintha then decided to
rent a room for the night and stay for a bit.
Vir continues to hide the dagger from security as Londo suffers in
Medlab. Franklin has to put Mollari in cryo-stasis since without
assistance of donor organs it will be impossible to save him. The idea
of using the life-giver device comes up and Vir promises to try and
seek volunteers. He discovers that none will assist Londo, they are
all afraid of him. And Centauri Prime already has a replacement
ambassador on the way. Vir also attempts to enlist the help of the
Minbari who will not assist because of religious beliefs concerning
diminshment of the soul. (Cf. [21]Soul Hunter.) Vir also thinks of
asking Kosh after he bumps into him, but decides against it after
getting a sense of someone walking over his grave when talking.
Sheridan will not agree to Franklin's request to order people to
donate life energy but agrees to assist in broadcasting a request for
assistance on the station network.
G'Kar was still alive because without his dagger he could not perform
suicide. Sheridan visits G'Kar and G'Kar shows him a different dagger
thus "tricking" Sheridan into thinking he didn't do it. Vir returns
the dagger to G'Kar later saying "I said I was sorry."
Garibaldi starts getting the sense of the violence that is going to
break out on the station on his way through the station that day.
Protesters are all around with signs pleading to save the alien.
Garibaldi true to form uses his fists to break up a fight and is
caught in the act on camera by Devereau from Channel 57. Morden
happens to be on hand and gets interviewed as the guy on the street.
He says, "I suppose that all life is important in some way." Then as
if nodding to himself, he continues, "Yes. That's what I believe. Life
is important. If you know what to do with it."
Morden then continues to talk with Garibaldi and asks him about
assisting in saving Mollari. Garibaldi rebuffs the suggestion pointing
out he would die. Morden remains silent. Morden then shrugs and says
"Then I'll consider the debt yet to be repaid." Smiling, he says,
"Join me on the monorail?" Garibaldi is interupted by Sheridan on the
comm link and takes his leave of Morden.
The court chamber. Grond is looking on as the trial commences.
Sheridan takes his place as judge, there will be no jury. nuViel is
used as a witness for the prosecution to explain that D'Arc had
murdered before. Sheridan responded to prosecution demands that nuViel
restrict her answers to the questions, cutting her off regularly. (See
[22]Notes.) On cross-examination, the defense tries to bring out the
issues about D'Arc's psychosis which seems to fall on deaf ears. The
defense calls Dr. Franklin to the stand for direct who explains about
the brain damage and her child like state. (See [23]Notes.) Sheridan
recesses and on return finds D'Arc guilty on murder. As if on cue
chaos breaks out in the court room. Grond even agrees saying on TV
that she feels justice is not served.
In Medlab, Sheridan tries to get Franklin to agree to sedate D'Arc. He
balks and Sheridan begins to administer the hypo and Franklin agrees
to do it only to prevent Sheridan from killing her by giving the hypo.
Garibaldi notices Morden leaving Medlab and that he has used the
life-giver without the assistance of any others to save Londo.
Garibaldi also realizes that the Shadows had a hand since otherwise
Morden would be dead.
G'Kar can't bring himself to go through with the suicide because of
his fear of what the future holds. He leaves his quarters to go out
and shape the future.
Jacintha Grond goes to find her husband and sees he is missing. The
station is descending into further chaos as the preparations for the
execution procession commence. The execution will be in an airlock.
Devereau grills Sheridan why such barbarism is being used to execute
D'Arc and why there are crowds, etc. Then G'Kar arrived to beg
forgiveness from nuViel. She grants him forgiveness. Then, all hell
breaks loose.
Even Devereau had never seen violence like this. She managed to don a
gas mask to aide herself. After enough of the violent protesters were
downed with gas, the procession proceded towards an airlock. Franklin
makes one last attempt to block the airlock with his body. Delenn
offers a very insightful comment stating:
This event has left in my mind an extraordinary feeling of terror
and shame. It seems to me I have been witness to -- and indeed,
party to -- an act of ... of shameful violence perpetrated by
intelligent beings [glance to Sheridan] against one of their
fellows. No matter what anyone might say, violence will never
prevent violence.
After the death, a gold channel message comes in while they are all
near the airlock. Sheridan allows it to be played there. No clemancy
from the Senate, either way it was too late.
257 Wounded. 53 Deaths, including a miscarried pregnancy.
Clark calls Sheridan to thank him. Sheridan is feeling sick on the
inside.
Ivanova helps the Tuchanq delegation head off the station. The Tuchanq
have accepted the Centauri offer.
Franklin and Garibaldi arrive together. Franklin is stating he wants
to lodge a complaint. Sheridan deters him by explaining that Garibaldi
and he had swapped the bodies, D'Arc is safe and actually Brian Grond
who was already dead -- wearing a changling net -- was executed.
The book ends with some words from Kosh. Kosh looks at him quietly.
Like a mirror. Fear is a mirror. Sheridan speaks, "I understand now.
Because I was scared I became devious. I took advantage of people and
events to accomplish my own ends... ...my fear has enabled me to
understand myself more clearly." Finally, Kosh said, "You are the
light, yet the hope of all darkness." Pause. "You are touched by
Shadows." Then Kosh leaves. The book ends with Sheridan realizing in a
moment of truth that his life would end as it had begun with awe and
wonder, pain and terror. And Shadows, always with Shadows.
Epilogue: Truth
"Earth: The First Truth": We see Clark contemplating the future in the
Senate Chamber in late December 2259. He realizes that the actions he
takes today will cause him not only to be remembered by the future but
to define it. A quote next to the page explains how EarthGov has
subpeonaed the footage from the execution to avoid scandal. Deverau
(the anchor) also mentions that the death penalty has now been
repealed to avoid scandal.
"Tuchanq: The Second Truth": nuViel stands surveying the planet now
that Tunchanq is being "aided" by the Centauri. She realizes that in
reality the Tuchanq song now belongs to the Shadows.
"The Rim: The Final Truth": Captain Varese finds his ship under
assault by screaming ships. As he dies, he has a peculiar sense of
deja vu about his final words, "They fired first."
The book ends: 2259:
It was Christmas Eve, 2259: the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind.
The Shadows were coming.
Unanswered Questions
* What's the deal with singing and songs? The issue has been brought
up several times in relation to the Vorlons and now with the
Tuchanq. What relation is there if any to the way the machine on
Epsilon 3 functions especially given some of the descriptions in
this book about how the songs serve as a connection to the land
(place)?
* Is Kosh's comment to the recovering Garibaldi prophetic in terms
of predicting the run in with Morden or meant to be prophetic in
the longer term?
* Are we to assume that Morden was prompted by the shadows when
giving his speech to Devereau? And if so, how are we to take it in
terms of what the future would hold should the Shadows gain
ground?
* What is Kosh up to with Sheridan? As the ending dialog suggests,
whatever is going on is a lot more complicated than simply
teaching Sheridan. Perhaps there is a special role for Sheridan
much like Sinclair had a special role for the Minbari and Humans.
Analysis
* The parallels between what the Narn did to the Tuchanq and what
the Centauri did to the Narn are extremely striking.
* This particular novel fits with the overall storyline much tighter
than others. The insights we gain on the fragile hold of Clark on
power as well as his willingness to use deception and trickery to
gain popularity are telling about other story arc elements such as
the Night Watch.
* Things are moving quickly. This corresponds with the increased
pace of the show, Earth, Babylon 5, and the universe are getting
ready for a big explosion.
Notes
* The second lie portion of the prologue should probably be dated
October of 2259 not 2258. This is an editting error in all
likelyhood. The reason it is an error is that Clark did not become
president until the very end of Season 1, which took all of 2258
and further a death penalty law would not go a full year without a
test. Also the Tuchanq second lie is, we presume, supposed to
occur shortly after the re-enactment of the death penalty.
* This book has extremely detailed albiet sometimes apparently
inaccurate descriptions of the station -- Ivanova's quarters --
but it does give a nice sense of the station.
* Another editing error seems to involve the captain's name in the
prologue and the epilogue both should presumably be the same since
presumably the deja vu has do with previously having said "They
fired first."
* It is surprising that G'Kar and perhaps Narns in general have such
difficulty grasping human subtlety. Contrast this with the
generally broder understanding demonstrated by the Minbari and
Vorlons at reading between the lines, etc. This may have more to
do with experience and knowledge due to general species age than
anything else. Alternatively it can be indicative of why the Narn
(and Centauri) are dying species.
* It is interesting to note that there seem to be taboos against
miscegenation with alien races much like we had enforced by law in
the United States and still now by prejudice in some areas. [See:
bans on interracial mariages unconstitutional, Loving v Virginia
(U.S. Supreme Court 1967) and compare with the 1984 custody case
involving Mrs. Palmore's daughter which reached the Supreme Court
because of Mrs. Palmore's subsequent interracial marriage. Palmore
v. Sidoti, (U.S. Supreme Court 1984)].
* Lyta's appearance is extremely well done and helps tie together
her appearance in relation to Talia and then her later appearance
back on the station after visiting the Vorlons.
* Timing of the sections seems to be slightly problematic since it
seems a bit unlikely that Jacintha Grond could get from Mars to
Babylon 5 _so_ quickly, less than a day.
* I believe Devereau has been seen before, except she had worked for
ISN, perhaps this is a change of jobs or just an editting error.
* I take the references on p 141, par 3-4, to indicate Mollari
ordered the attack on G'Kar and that Vir strongly suspected that
it was true, this may be an incorrect inference.
* From the trial scene it is interesting to note that little has
changed in the basic procedure of the Common Law system of trial
and justice.
* In the United States today, the death penalty has and continues to
be carried out on the mentally retarded, even upon people with
IQ's as low as 60. (McCollum v. No. Carolina, US SC 1994:
Blackmun's dissent from the denial of review mentions that the
person to be executed has a 9 yr old mental age and can barely
read at a second grade level. He was "under stress and easily
influenced by others." Continuing, Blackmun explains how the lower
court found:
that he committed the felony murder under the influence of mental
or emotional disturbance, that he had cooperated with the police,
that he had no significant history of prior criminal activity, and
that he had adapted well to prison. In addition, the trial judge
concluded that "[a]ll of the evidence tends to show that
[McCollum's] capacity ... to appreciate the criminality of his
conduct or to conform to the requirements of law was impaired."
McCollum was 19 at the time of the crime.
Blackmun's dissent concludes on a note that is similar to the
rationale that the senate used in turning down the death penalty:
"Our system of capital punishment simply does not accurately and
consistently determine which defendants most "deserve" to die."
The sole standard that the Supreme Court has established is that
at the time of death the person must be able to comprehend what is
going to happen to them thus leading to ironies like lawyers
trying to have their clients taken off anti-psychotic drugs to
prevent executions.
jms speaks
* _Will D'Arc appear in the show?_
Probably not, but one never knows.
* _Lyta is deaf?_
I don't know how that would've gotten past me...I don't recall
seeing that in the draft...either I was tired when reading, or it
was added later.
* No, the novelist didn't blow it, Joe blew it, because in
proofreading the manuscript, Joe missed that line somehow, and
didn't catch it. It's my job to catch these things. (Just spent a
whole week going over the A-Z of Babylon 5 coming out from Boxtree
Books in the UK to keep it as accuate as possible.)
* _Why did the captain lie?_
The Minbari approached with their gun ports opened...but they also
hadn't locked on. They were a potential menace, but had not gone
into the territory of definite menace...and when they fired, it
was clear from the moment or two it took to respond that the
Minbari ships weren't ready to attack. So he chose to cover his
butt rather than take responsibility for screwing up a first
contact situation and plunging Earth into a war.
