Humans were tinkered by the Vorlons.  Being able to steal us from
the Vorlon camp would be a coup - Remember to think of it in terms
of the Shadows and the Vorlons competing to show their own system
is better.  Some sort of "he who finishes with the most client species
wins" deal.

Since most species go extinct before they convert to energy beings
and leave the galaxy, and since there are Soul Hunters going around
intersepting species at the point of conversion, the number of body
species that start out with interstellar travel to the number that
convert
to energy beings has to be low.  Who was more favored by the humans,
octopus or shrews?  It's not like either humans or Centari had made it
up to a level like dogs or cats the way the Drakh probably had.

So there could well be another The Lost Tales after the strike.
Exremely cool.  All I want for next Christmas is TLT-2 in both regular
DVD and HD-DVD ...
