A wave of bombings kills several station inhabitants.
[edit] Synopsis
Chaos is hours away, according to a series of messages anonymously sent to C&C; and when a bomb detonates in Downbelow, the hunt is on for a terrorist somewhere on the station.
A second bomb destroys a docking bay and almost kills Lennier, who is trapped in the explosion while trying to help Londo to safety.
Londo naturally blames the Narns, and of course, G'Kar fingers the Centauri for the bombings, but when the two of them are trapped, badly wounded in an elevator after another explosion, they must set aside their differences to escape - but neither is willing, so they remain trapped.
What no one suspects, is that the reason chaos has come to Babylon 5 could be a total lack of reason, and terror could be its own motivation. (Attrib: B5 LogBook [1])
[edit] Main Plot
- Sheridan confronts the bomber, Robert Carlsen, when he threatens to blow the station.
- Brother Theo, a monk leading an entourage of believing technophiles, arrives to take up residence on Babylon 5. His arrival makes Commander Ivanova's day, and aids in finding the bomber.
- In an ironic twist of fate, Lennier is severely injured in one of the blasts while saving Londo Mollari from the same fate.
- While Sheridan distracts the bomber, Garibaldi's crew locates the final, station-killer bomb just in time, and has it ejected into space.
