Catherine Sakai:
Ambassador! While I was out there, I saw something. What was it?

G'Kar:
[points to a flower with a bug crawling on it] What is this?

Catherine Sakai:
An ant.

G'Kar:
Ant.

Catherine Sakai:
So much gets shipped up from Earth on commercial transports it's hard to keep them out.

G'Kar:
Yeah, I have just picked it up on the tip of my glove. If I put it down again, and it asks another ant, "what was that?",

[laughs]

G'Kar:

They're vast, timeless, and if they're aware of us at all, it is as little more than ants, and we have as much chance of communicating with them as an ant has with us. We know, we've tried, and we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped on.

Catherine Sakai:
That's it? That's all you know?

G'Kar:
Yes, they are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the universe, that we have not yet explained everything. Whatever they are, Miss Sakai, they walk near Sigma 957, and they must walk there alone.
