From Quiz Ranger Training Entrance Examination

Answer: Shadows

"Hello, old friend. It's been a while. I'm entrusting this message to an associate of mine who has sworn to bring it to you at any cost, including his own life. My job on the Minbari homeworld is more than just representing Earth. The president doesn't know about that part yet and...I don't think it would be wise of you to tell him. There's a great darkness coming, Michael. Some of the Minbari have been waiting for it a long time. The bearer of this message is one of my Rangers. Some are Minbari, most are humans. They've been drawn here to learn to work together and prepare for the fight ahead. Their job for now is to patrol the frontier, to listen, to watch, and return with reports too sensitive to entrust to regular channels. They are my eyes and ears. Where you see them, you see me. In the name of our friendship I ask that you give them every courtesy and co-operation. I wish I could tell you more. I wish I could warn you, but the others don't think it's time yet. Stay close to the Vorlon and watch out for the shadows. They move...when you are not looking at them." -- Sinclair's message to Garibaldi, "The Coming of Shadows"

Answer: Peter David

Peter David is also well-known in "Star Trek" circles as the man who wrote several novels. His most famous are probably "Imzadi" and "Triangle: Imzadi II" which deal with the whole Riker and Troi love affair. I have to admit, I don't like his "Star Trek" work but he is quite good writing for "Babylon 5" (he has written both episodes and novels).

From Quiz Jeffrey Sinclair

Answer: Mars

This was implied or stated in several places - most directly, in the first season episode "And the Sky, Full of Stars" the interrogator (Knight Two) says, "Your name is Jeffrey David Sinclair. Rank: Commander. Age: 39. Born on Mars Colony, May 3, 2218, 9:15 A.M., Earth Standard Time." (quote courtesy of The Lurker's Guide, http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/countries/us/synops/008.html) Arisia Mining Colony was where Marcus Cole was born; see, for example, "Lines of Communication". Sinclair states in "Midnight on the Firing Line" that "the Sinclairs have been fighter pilots since the Battle of Britain", but this does not imply British heritage. I do not believe that Sheridan's birthplace is ever stated, but I think it is implied the be MidWest US.
