[edit] Preview

An Interstellar News Network crew arrives on Babylon 5 to document the station; only to find themselves in the midst of a flare up of the Narn-Centauri War.

[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot, character development, or ending details follow.

An ISN reporter with a camera crew in tow makes a visit to B5 to observe 36 hours in the station's life. They're not counting on a sudden escalation of hostilities between the Narn and Centauri, immediately outside of the station, which will ultimately result in the first Earth Alliance shots fired in the war -- a possible first step in the human race becoming more involved with the conflict.

As Sheridan and the other races' representatives grapple with the increasing bloodshed, the journalist is occasionally getting in the way, just looking for a good story.
