The
background story for David Martel, is that he left the scene of a battle while commanding a Ranger ship called the Enfalli.
His friend of three years, a Minbari named Dulann, and what seems to be a reasonably new friend, a human named Sarah Cantrell,
were there at the time.
Sindell:
One of the Anla-Shok has acted inappropriately and must be punished, perhaps even expelled.
G'Kar:
What was his crime?
Sindell:
Staying alive!
G'Kar:
Curious. Until now, I hadn't known it was a crime.
G'Kar:
Minister Kafta, this ship is being held together by little pieces of wire and good
intentions. If we land in this condition, assuming we do not have an unpleasant encounter with the ground on the way down,
I doubt very much they could take off again. They would be trapped with us, and the ship looking for them would find it, find
them, find us, find you, a brilliant cascade of cause and effect. Isn't the universe an amazing place? I wouldn't live anywhere
else.
Sarah
Cantrell: Today is a good day to die.
David
Martel: Oh with you every day is a good day to die!
