<h2><a name="BP">Plot Points</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>@@@1185878875 Lochley is still in command of B5 in 2271.
<li>@@@1185878875 Franklin has joined G'Kar in his travels around the cosmos.
<li>@@@1185878875 Emperor Cartagia's son is next in line for the throne after
Vir's reign is over.
<li>@@@1185878875 Sheridan and Delenn's son David is nine years old in 2271.
<li>@@@1185878875 By 2271, the plague on Earth
(<a href="115.html">"A Call to Arms"</a>)
appears to have been eliminated; people are able to travel to and
from Earth freely.
</ul>
<h2><a name="UQ">Unanswered Questions</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>@@@1185878875 Who and what is Asmodeus? (See Analysis.)
<li>@@@1185878875 Will Sheridan be able to turn Prince Vintari away from his
future path of destruction?
</ul>
<h2><a name="AN">Analysis</a></h2>
<ul>
<p>
<li>@@@1185878875 Asmodeus may, of course, be exactly what he claims. However, his
abilities aren't unheard-of in the B5 universe.
<p>
Many of his powers seem consistent with psi abilities: making people
see and feel things (abilities demonstrated, e.g., by Talia in
<a href="030.html">"A Race Through Dark Places"</a>). However,
Lochley also claimed that he was covered in blood at one point, and
that the blood was analyzed and found to contain no DNA. Unless
Asmodeus' powers of illusion extend to making lab technicians think
they're reading imaginary test results, it's safe to assume he has
some ability to influence the physical world.
<p>
Technomages also have the ability to make people see and hear things,
as Galen does to Sheridan in the second half of the story. They also
have the ability to create physical objects seemingly from nothing:
Elric conjured a cherry blossom for Sheridan in
<a href="025.html">"The Geometry of Shadows."</a>
<p>
<li>@@@1185878875 Sheridan's imprisonment on Centauri Prime
(<a href="061.html">"War Without End, part 2"</a>)
takes place several years after the events of this story. Is Sheridan's
education of Prince Vintari a secret, or does Londo know about it at
that point? Obviously, not being the emperor, Vintari would not be in
a good position to help Sheridan.
<p>
<li>@@@1185878875 Sheridan said "quantum space" was a discovery based on
leftover Vorlon technology. Perhaps it is related to their ability
to create folds in hyperspace
(<a href="069.html">"The Summoning"</a>)
or perhaps it is something totally different; in the latter case,
though, it's not clear why their ships still travelled in regular
hyperspace.
<p>
It's also not clear where the Alliance picked up that stray Vorlon
technology. Perhaps from the Vorlon homeworld, or perhaps from some of
the wreckage of Vorlon ships and bases left over from the Shadow War.
<p>
<li>@@@1185878875 How would a Centauri fleet be able to rain that level of
destruction on one of the major planets of the Alliance? Presumably
Earth is not undefended (especially after the Drakh attack.)
A simple surprise attack, perhaps, but how would the Centauri get
close to Earth undetected, given that it is possible to monitor
hyperspace? Perhaps quantum space is not as easy to monitor, and the
Centauri got that technology from the Alliance at some point.
</ul>
