- Delenn: Marcus. Marcus. The transport has arrived. We have to send her back to Babylon 5. It's dangerous to keep her here. We're almost at Mars.
- Ranger Marcus Cole: [at Ivanova's bedside] She would want to be here for the battle, conscious or otherwise.
- Delenn: I know. But we must do what's best for her.
