If you wanted broadest field of view you would be voting Vision.
Literally her job.
Iris is currently on Lina's flagship, which puts her close to the action but away from the sensors that Vision has available.

The Ori enforce a rigid order, test their victims for compliance, exact a tribute in worship, and are ever expansionist.
The Shiplords enforce laws, test their victims for compliance, exact a tribute in souls, and are ever expansionist.
Both even use plagues; the Ori use them as punishment, the Shiplords as bodyjacking tools.
And both are being defeated by a soulfuckery weapon; in the case of the SLs, Practice and Unisonbound, in the case of the Ori, the Sangraal.

Are we supposed to know whose perspective THIS is? And who or what is input overloading?
I'm half tempted to assume that this implies a simulationist world and we just overflowed a variable on the computer running the simulation

Seriously, a normal human perspective, but also the perspective of the commander in chief of the battle, who has the whole thing riding on her shoulders? Yes please.

Not least because a Shiplord perspective on what's happening would just be about a hundred paragraphs of enraged gibberish.
But the nature of the Ori was that they were Ascended beings that essentially pulled a collective version of Annubis, descending halfway so that they could use the belief of physical beings to empower themselves. The Shiplords don't seem to have that intimate a relationship with whatever plane the Uninvolved (and, more than likely, the Dragons) are on. If there is an Ori in the Practice War, then the Shiplords are more likely something like the Priors: artificially evolved, wholly physical agents of whatever the PW version of the Ori would be called.

This perspective is denied, I'm afraid.
That was me trying to format the dice roll that theoretically happened when Kalilah let go of all the power she'd been gathering.
Like all dice roll lines, it is an abstraction of chance finding a place in reality. And it's one that's shown to give you, the questers, an idea of what's happening there. In this case, Kalilah effectively rolled a Yes due to massive overdraw.
Not really. She's got access to those sensors too. She's just more emotional about it than Vision is right now.

This retrospective perspective seems to indicate, that Amanda will survive to remember this. As in, survive the TBOS.
Speaking of what she did. My guess is Amanda applied her Mending directly to Kalilah's soul, to restore it as much as possible even as it was going up in flames. Whether that was in any way sufficient to counteract the pyre of Death Nuke, remains to be seen.
Hatred was not enough for Shiplords. Only Destruction would suffice.

Can I just say that I'm really glad that this vote worked for people. Going into this I knew I just wanted to end the section on the event itself, anything more felt wrong. But at the same time, I wanted to give you something so that it wasn't just a case of my throwing a cliffhanger at you.
This tied back in my head to the SBOS, where I shifted perspective several times across updates. So I thought, hey, why not? That you've gotten engaged in that process - or at least it feels like you have - is intensely gratifying. I just hope I can deliver!

Spectacular update, Snowfire.
You've managed so far - take the time you need.

I am being carried along on the ride of Amanda's light, and I feel this perspective best reflects that.

The Shadows were one of two older races still mucking things up in Babylon 5.
The Vorlons and Shadows stayed behind to guide the younger races, but differences between the two led them to turn the newcomers into combatants as they debated whether order or chaos were better.
Their ship design was distinctive, being shiny black spiked ships with the ability to ripple in and out of higher dimensions.
The Neras.
Shifty little(figuratuvely; at fifteen kilometers long they're pretty big) mushroom people who take no direct action but are always available to provide avenues to facilitate plotting by the Tribute Races.
If the Shiplords represent the Vorlons as agents of Order, the Neras are pretty evidently agents of Chaos.
