Vice Admiral
I have to say, In The Beginning was my favourite of the movies![]()
I agree. Especially for Londo's monologue about humans and how they fight.
And the Earthgov President's "Line" speech!
This is the President.
I've just been informed that our mid range military bases at Beta Durani and Proxima III have fallen to the Minbari. We've lost contact with our bases at Io and must conclude that they too have been destroyed by an advanced force. Our military intelligence believes that the Minbari intend to bypass Mars and attack Earth directly, and the attack may come at any time.
We continue to broadcast our surrender and a plea for mercy. They have not replied. We can therefore only conclude that we stand at the twilight of the human race.
In order to buy more time for our evacuation transports to leave Earth, we ask for the support of every ship capable of fighting to take part in a last defense of our homeworld.
We will not lie to you. We do not believe that survival is a possibility. Those of you who join the battle, will never come home. But, for every 10 minutes we can delay the military advance, several hundred more civilians may have a chance to escape to neutral territory. Though Earth may fall, the human race must have a chance to continue elsewhere.
No greater sacrifice has ever been asked of a people but I ask you now, to step forward one last time, one last battle to hold the line against the night.
May God go with you all.
