Describe a chance encounter that changed your life
Muse: Na'Toth
Fandom: Babylon 5
I had many such encounters if to think carefully. Usually the degree of importance of such events is realized some time later. I could tell, that my first meeting with ambassador G'Kar was something fatal, and I would not be mistaken. But it could not be, if I have not met Y'Tar, the wife of my former chief Li'Dak some months before.
It happened, when I experienced some kind of crisis of belief. I have realized suddenly, that all my work here is a vicious circle and I felt, that lose myself in infinite intrigues. I have not been created for this purpose. I felt like sick each time when did something that was not pleasant for me. I was arrogant and wanted to achieve something greater, than to be the aide of grumbling Counselor. But I should offer something to promote, to achieve something greater here... And it meant to betray my principles, to cease to be myself.
There was special severe world in Palace of Kha'ri, and if I wanted to work here further, I should make this choice.
Otherwise it would mean impasse. They would not pass me above. It was the law of this place.
And when I was on the verge of despair, thinking about this situation, madam Y'Tar called me and has told about the new project which just started to work.
Space station Babylon 5. Diplomatic mission.
To admit fairly, I understood nothing in art of diplomacy, but Y'Tar's words have intrigued me. She has told about this project as about a joke because the previous stations of this project were lost or were gone under strange circumstances. But I was ready to go on this risk if only to have an opportunity to escape from a place which slowly killed me if not physically, but morally. At least, if I have got there, I could begin my life anew... Who knows, perhaps, it would help me to promote with career?
It was space, it was something new... I as though have touched my children's dreams for one instant.
And I have asked Y'Tar to learn in more detail how is possible to get there.
Some days later I have got in the list of candidates on a place of diplomatic attache on Babylon 5. This list was not long, I should admit. Destiny of previous stations did not cause special enthusiasm among potential candidates, as well as the purpose of our mission there. Father has opened my eyes on it when I have told to him about my desire to get there.
He spoke with hints, damned politician, I began to hate this his habit, but I have understood, that though the station is created with the purpose of maintenance of the world between species, the true purpose of Narn Regime it to prevent their association.
Hence, activity of our diplomats can be named suicide safely.
Father has told to me about it, hoping, that I'll refuse participation in this project. But he only has set on me. Because I was ready on everything, if only to escape from this place.
The fate had not a kind feeling to me at first. Li'Dak has refused to give me his recommendation when he has found out, that his old foe, G'Kar is appointed on post of ambassador to station. I have solved this problem quickly, having proved, that I possess diplomatic abilities all the same...
When these old idiots from Kha'ri have chosen that bitch Ko'Dath, motivating their choice that she was more skilled and senior, I have lost spirit for one instant because there was no place to recede for me anymore... I have had time to quarrel with Li'Dak and have sworn what not come back in Palace of Kha'ri...
I began to search for other places in colonies, and even have received some offers... as suddenly at night they have called me and informed, that this post is free again. Naturally, I have agreed to accept it. It was the true madness. I leaved my rendered habitable place and have departed to a place located in some thousand of light years from my home.
There, where I was waited with a new life... Yeah, it was real madness, but I do not regret about this act at all. Honestly.
