President:
Are we on? This is... this is the President. I have just been informed that the midrange military bases at Beta Durani and Proxima 3 have fallen to the Minbari advance. We've lost contact with Io and must conclude that they too have fallen to an advance force. Our Military Intelligence believes that the Minbari intend to bypass Mars and hit Earth directly and the attack could come at any time. We have continued to broadcast our surrender and a plea for mercy and they have not responded. Therefore we can only conclude that we stand at the twilight of the human race. In order to buy time for our evacuation transports to leave Earth, we ask for the support of every ship capable of fighting to take part in a last defense of our home world. We will not lie to you, we do not believe that survival is a possibility. We believe that anyone who joins this battle will never come home. But for every ten minutes we can delay the militar advance, several hundred more civilians may have a chance to escape to neutral territory. Though Earth may fall, the human race must have a chance to continue elsewhere. No greater sacrifice has ever been asked of a people. But I ask you now to step forward one last time, one last battle to hold the line against the night. May God go with you all

This is
00:00:06.068 --> 00:00:08.193
This is the President
00:00:09.004 --> 00:00:12.233
I've just been informed that our midrange military bases
00:00:12.032 --> 00:00:14.595
at Beta Durani and Proxima 3
00:00:15.056 --> 00:00:17.079
have fallen to the Minbari advance
00:00:19.032 --> 00:00:20.753
We've lost contact with lo
00:00:20.084 --> 00:00:24.389
and must conclude that they too have fallen to an advanced force
00:00:25.064 --> 00:00:27.517
Our military intelligence believes
00:00:27.006 --> 00:00:31.354
that the Minbari intend to bypass Mars and hit Earth directly
00:00:31.076 --> 00:00:34.354
and the attack may come at any time
00:00:36.016 --> 00:00:38.879
We have continued to broadcast our surrender
00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:40.718
and a plea for mercy
00:00:41.088 --> 00:00:43.711
And they have not responded
00:00:45.048 --> 00:00:47.055
We therefore can only conclude
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.007
that we stand at the twilight
00:00:52.036 --> 00:00:53.952
of the Human race
