Delenn woke up. She was alone in a damp cave. She sat up in her dirty clothes and tried not to let the situation overwhelm her. It had been days since she originally woke up here. Things had seemed to settle into some kind of routine. Saran would be working on the transmitter; exploration parties … Read more
Ivanova sat next to Lennier and Douglas on the bridge of the Ark Royal. Douglas was sitting, looking relaxed and monitoring his console. The rest of the bridge crew seemed to be continuing with their various tasks. She’d been introduced to the pilot, Commander Smith, who’d mumbled some kind of greeting in reply and Lieutenant … Read more
“I’m sorry. Mr President.” Replied the Minbari on the link, “but we’ve had no response.” John Sheridan blew out yet another breath as he tried to keep his temper in check. “OK.” He said “But as…” He never got to complete his sentence. “Sir, I will notify you, if we receive anything.” The link terminated. … Read more
Ivanova slowly opened her eyes and took in a deep breath. Looking around, she could tell that she was lying in the medical bay she remembered from before. The two men she didn’t recognise had gone, but sat in the corner was Lennier. He stood up and walked over to the bed she was on. … Read more
“Delenn!” “Delenn!” the voice was more urgent. There seemed to be muttering just beyond her hearing’s range like a whisper across an empty room. She could feel herself breathing.

Delenn paced the bridge of White Star 2. She was getting impatient. Normally just that made her angry, but add to that the frustration she was feeling and she was working her way into a full-blown fury. Over the last few days they’d lost most of the task force. The exasperating thing was they didn’t … Read more
Douglas stalked the bridge. It was not his watch but he could not sit in his cabin. He completed his report and had sent it off to admiralty. He imagined the shock waves that would flow through the government. The prisoner, Lennier, had been very co-operative so far. None of crew could find fault with … Read more
Ivanova looked out of the view port. She could see the jump gate floating ahead of the ship in the ink black of space. These gates were the cornerstones of interstellar civilisation. They enabled cargo ships and passenger vessels to fly between systems without the use of expensive jump engines. It was a very old … Read more
John Sheridan was not a well man. After a goodwill trip to some of the Packmara colonies, he’d seemed to pick up some kind of virus. The shivers and a temperature were the only symptoms but Delenn was worried. Sheridan had to smile. One moment, she’d be rushing around looking after David, the next she’d … Read more
