“All right, so here's the big question,” Garibaldi said. “Now that we've shown them we can hurt them, how long till they come knocking at our front door?”
“That's what worries me,” Sheridan confessed. “Unless the Vorlons enter the melee, our chances are limited at best.”
“I won’t trust the Vorlons to move as much as a finger to help us; assuming they have fingers, of course,” Garibaldi said pessimistically. “This new Kosh is more hindrance than he is help, and we have no way to contact the others… assuming that those would be interested in helping us at all, Which is, frankly, not very likely.”
“But if we are on our own, we would need every single ship we have,” Delenn reminded them. “Even if we leave our homeworlds unprotected.”
“If the Shadows get the upper hand, the border patrols won’t stand a chance anyway,” Sheridan agreed.
“I shall present the proof that the Ancient Enemy has returned to the Caste leaders,” Neroon promised. “Shai Alyt Shakiri is a stubborn man, but he is no fool. If I can persuade the other Clan leaders, he will give in… for the time being, at least.”
“And if you cannot?” Delenn asked quietly.
Neroon shrugged. “The Star Riders and the Moon Shelds will send their ships in any case; and I hope I can win the Fire Wings for the case. We shall take what we can get and do our best. The rest is in Valen’s hands.”

I assume that most other people know Sheridan and Delenn as well as Garibaldi, since they belonged to the main cast.

I'm in the process of moving my stuff over to AO3 (under the same username) because there I can answer reviews on the review board itself... well, theoretically. Reviews are a rare thing over there, unless you manage to build up a large following, which I never managed. But at least you can delete all kinds of nasty reviews, regardless if signed or not.
