In The Shadow of Z’Ha’Dum

Babylon 5Sheridan is going over the records of his late wife’s doomed expedition to the rim when Garibaldi recognizes a face from the ship’s crew manifest – Morden, the mysterious human with whom Londo consults in matters concerning the Narn-Centauri War. Sheridan has Morden stopped before he can leave the station again and confined, and begins questioning him intensely regarding the fate of the mission. Morden has no memories of the expedition or of Anna Sheridan, and is impatient to be on his way, but Sheridan will not let him go. Instead, the captain keeps Morden detained over Garibaldi’s protests and finally his resignation, tricks Talia into scanning Morden, and denies an urgent request from Londo to release the prisoner. It is only when Delenn and Kosh reveal a tale of the long-forgotten horror of the Shadows that Sheridan realizes that his imprisonment of Morden could invite the wrath of a power no one can repel.

Knives

Babylon 5Urza Jaddo, an old friend of Londo arrives on the station to see if Londo’s influence can help him win a battle against opponents on Centauri Prime who are trying to blacklist Urza and his family. But when Londo finds out that the smear campaign has been led by his shady colleague Refa, the situation becomes muddier. In the meantime, Sheridan makes an ill-advised visit to a trouble-plagued area of the station which has been the site of numerous strange incidents since B5 went on-line. Following a terrifying encounter with a corpse that seems to come to life, Sheridan discovers that the price of his curiosity could be his sanity and his command.

Confessions And Lamentations

Babylon 5A Markab ship turns up derelict, all of its passengers and crew dead of an unspecified illness. Dr. Franklin, who happens to be investigating a slightly higher death rate among the Markab on the station, can’t seem to get his Markab medical colleague to reveal any reason for the increased mortality rate. When the Markab begin dying in greater numbers, however, Franklin discovers that a highly contagious disease is spreading which threatens to render the Markab extinct. The Markab themselves have known of isolated cases of this disease for some time, having accepted it as judgment upon the sinful, but now it’s judgement day for the entire species. Franklin races to devise an antidote, but when the Markab disease jumps species, it appears his efforts may be in vain.

Divided Loyalties

Babylon 5A ship drifts through the jumpgate near B5 and must be towed in since it has sustained heavy battle damage. Its one occupant turns out to be Lyta Alexander, the commercial telepath originally assigned to B5 until her contact with Ambassador Kosh left her disoriented and possibly mentally unstable. Having fled Psi Corps and joined a resistance group on Mars, Lyta has learned of a sleeper spy aboard the station – someone who, thanks to a telepathically implanted personality that can’t be detected even on a deep mind-scan, is reporting back to Psi Corps and probably to the engineers of President Santiago’s assassination as well. Sheridan initially dismisses Lyta’s warning until an unknown assailant tries to kill her, neatly corroborating her story that the implanted personality will do or say anything to protect itself. Lyta does have the key to unlock the secret of who is carrying the personality known only as “Control” – a password which, when transmitted directly by telepathy, will reveal the secondary personality at the cost of destroying the “real” one. Ivanova balks at the prospect of being scanned, reluctantly revealing to Sheridan that she is a latent telepath who has evaded detection by Psi Corps for years. The command staff agrees to Lyta’s telepathic probe, and one by one they turn up free of any Psi Corps influence. And then Lyta has the opportunity to scan Talia…

The Long, Twilight Struggle

Babylon 5Londo has been recalled to Centauri Prime for consultations on the war effort. Current plans call for allowing the Narn to direct their entire fleet toward the Centauri supply planet as the bulk of the Centauri fleet converges on the Narn homeworld – and Refa expects Londo to deploy his “associates” to defend the Centauri supply world. In the meantime, Sheridan and Delenn are contacted by Draal, the Minbari who took over custodianship of the buried technological treasures of Epsilon 3. He wishes to pledge his allegiance to Sheridan in the coming war, even though Sheridan himself is still uncertain what role he will play in that conflict. The Narn fleet, led by G’Kar’s uncle, attacks the Centauri supply base only to be wiped out by the Shadows, who appear to be gaining more strength with each appearance. In the meantime, a Centauri fleet – one of whose ships carries Londo as a first-hand observer – begins bombarding Narn with mass drivers, laying the entire planet to waste. The nation of Narn again falls to its knees at the whim of the Centauri Republic.

Comes The Inquisitor

Babylon 5Delenn is summoned by Kosh, who cryptically informs her that he has called for an inquisitor from the Vorlon homeworld, an interrogator who will determine Delenn’s true allegiances and motivations in her preparation for the coming war. Sheridan greets the visitor, who presumably will be another Vorlon – though the newcomer turns out to be human. And not just any human, but a human from the 19th century who claims to have been whisked away from Earth by the Vorlons. The interrogation of Delenn begins, and turns out to be a far more brutal affair than expected as Sebastian tortures her for what he deems “inadequate” answers to his very ambiguous, nearly metaphysical questions. While Delenn barely endures the test she does not understand, G’Kar is quietly struggling to maintain control of the Narn on the station, who are pooling all their resources to build an underground resistance on the conquered Narn homeworld. Finally, Sheridan interferes in Delenn’s inquisition – and his intervention has been anticipated.

The Fall Of Night

Babylon 5The Centauri conquest explodes into open aggression against races other than the Narn. A Narn ship arrives and and requests safe haven at B5, to which Sheridan agrees. Representatives from the Earth government and the suspicious Ministry of Peace arrive, declaring that Earth has reached a peace accord with the Centauri. As part of the Ministry of Peace’s Night Watch program, various paid informers among the station crew are obliged to report unusual events to the Ministry, including the hush-hush communication with the surviving Narn vessel. Londo summons a Centauri warship to force Sheridan to release the Narns into Centauri custody. When Sheridan refuses, a battle is fought and B5 survives, but Sheridan is ordered to apologize to Londo for the destruction of the Centauri ship. En route to his reluctant and very public apology, Sheridan finds a bomb in the station’s central core transport. Leaping out into mid-air, Sheridan escapes the exploding transport car, but he cannot escape the station’s increasing gravity as he falls toward the outer wall. Only a miracle can save him, and at Delenn’s insistence, just such a miracle emerges as Kosh finally reveals himself to all. So long as the Shadows are not aware that knowledge of their activity has spread beyond the Vorlons, Delenn says, there is still time to prepare for the coming war. But Warren Keffer’s final mission – to track down a Shadow ship in hyperspace – may have just blown the galaxy’s cover.
