Like a moth, you are fatally attracted to power and glamour. Franklin
is not good enough for you and you disdain Zathras because he is
dressed in rags, yet you would prostitute those hetero principles you
pay such lip service to in order to suck up to a powerful Vorlon and
you secretly yearn to become its bitch in the doggie position, you
bitch!
