Lt. Keffer arrives at his quarters to find two men already in them. [[OldSoldier Pvt. "Large"]], a heavy black man who [[CigarChomper always has a cigar in his mouth]], and [[NewMEat Pvt. Yang]], a young soldier on his first deployment. Keffer is not happy to find them there, and an annoyed [[ScaryBlackMan Large gets up as though about to start a fight]]. Keffer isn't intimidated and Large is sufficiently impressed that he sits the pilot down, offers him a cigar and starts regaling him with war stories.

In one of the station corridors, Delenn observes the number of Earthforce troops present, and Garibaldi gives her the official line. They talk a bit, about the war, and how Londo and G'Kar refuse to speak to each other, before Garibaldi goes off to see to a disturbance. Delenn walks off but encounters a group of belligerent soldiers who react angrily at the sight of a Minbari with hair. They advance on her, saying she needs a good lesson. Before they can do anything, a woman jumps between them, starting a fight which enables Delenn to get away. She quickly finds Garibaldi and tells him what happens. The fight is broken up by the troops' sergeant major, who is ready to cart all of them off but Garibaldi asks him to overlook this incident and he agrees.
