Synopsis: The Earth Alliance heavy cruiser Hyperion emerges from the jump gate. Another alien race arrives in a warship as well and stakes its own claim to Epsilon 3. Varn, the alien removed from the machine, pleas with Delenn's mentor Draal to replace him, or else it will destroy the planet and B5. While a battle rages above Epsilon 3 for control of the planet, Draal is embedded in the wall, restoring the defense system. He warns that the planet belongs "to the future."
