The Babylon 5 station was
dedicating the opening of the Amateur Radio Station. The Intergalactic
Communication Commission (ICC) had issued the station license. The call
sign for Babylon 5 was a club station, QW87BABCOM. It could be operated through
the Babcom system. Five of the residents have their own licenses to operate the
Amateur Radio Station. President John Sheridan's call sign was QW87AFRERT.
Delenn's call sign was QW87ATYTRE. Captain Elizabeth Lochley's call sign was
QW87BGFPET.
The captain called, "Calling
any station on Mars. This is QW87BABCOM from Babylon 5 station. Can anyone
copy?"
The station from Mars replied,
"QW87BABCOM, this is MA65DERFGF from Mars. I copy you loud and clearly. I
have a traffic message for you."
The captain then replied,
"Go ahead"
The station from Mars replied
with traffic, "We have been notified that the Shadows are going to attack
us. Please send troops to Mars. Please notify to President Sheridan. End of
traffic message. MA65DERFGF will be clear."
The captain replied again,
"Received your message. QW87BABCOM will be clear."
The captain called the John
Sheridan, Delenn, Dr. Franklin, Lennier, Zach, and G'Kar to meeting. During the
meeting, the captain said, "The reason that I called for a meeting is that
Mars is going to be attacked by the Shadows. I have received the traffic
message from Mars, and they requested that troops be sent to Mars."
The President Sheridan said,
"We'll send at least ten men, Delenn and I will go to Mars, too. I'll keep
in touch when we get there."
Zach said to President, "Do
you want me to come to Mars? I believe I could help with security."
The President replied, "We
need to keep our station secured. It's your responsibility to make sure the
station is secured especially when enemies come."
Lennier said to President,
"How about if we send telepaths to Mars? Maybe they could help to defeat
enemies."
The President replied, "It's
not their fight."
G'Kar said, "Get the shuttle
ready. We are going to Mars." President Sheridan, Delenn and ten of other
men got on the shuttle and headed to Mars.
Five Shadows ships came to Mars
and attacked the villages. They were attacking the villages with laser blasts.
President Sheridan spoke through communication, "QW87BABCOM, this is
QW87AFRERT from Mars. I have emergency traffic. Mars is being attacked by
Shadows. There are lots of casualties. We need an emergency medical team. Go
ahead."
Captain Lochley replied through
communication, "QW87AFRERT, this is QW87BABCOM, QW87BGFPET on a mike. I'll
send two medical personnel and plenty of medical supplies to Mars. Go ahead
John."
President Sheridan than replied,
"At least 20 civilians are dead. We have destroyed two of the Shadows
ships. QW87AFRERT will be clear."
The other three Shadows ships
were coming to attack Babylon station 5. The telepaths were using their mind
control against the Shadows. Lyta said, "We must concentrate to stop
Shadows from attacking us. Let's concentrate to see if they would attack each
other." The Shadows apparently are blocking out the telepaths.
Zach said though Babcom
communication, "Calling battle stations. Three Shadows are attacking us.
Start firing at them. Babylon 5 have destroyed rest of the Shadows ships.
Captain Lochley spoke through communication,
"QW87AFRERT, this is QW87BABCOM, QW87BGFPET on a mike. We have destroyed
rest of Shadows ships. I'll notify the IARES (Intergalactic Amateur Radio
Emergency Service) to set up the shelter at Mars. We'll set up the Red Cross
there too. Go ahead John."
President Sheridan replied
through communication, "We have transferred several casualties to
Recreation Center. At least 140 civilians were wounded. The IARES members are
getting ready to set up the emergency center. We do need more doctors and
surgeons. We could use more nurses. Go ahead Elizabeth."
Captain Lochley then replied,
"Our station is returning at normal status.
QW87BABCOM will be clear."
Lyta said to captain, “We have
tried to use our telepathic message against Shadow, but they were strong. IIf this is illegal use of our abilities, could we keep
this to ourselves?"
The captain replied, "We'll
keep it between you and me. We'll keep it quiet."
The President and Delenn returned
Babylon 5 station from Mars. The president called all the Amateur Radio
operators in for meeting. They met at the communication room where there is
Amateur Radio equipment. There are 27 Amateur Radio operators living at Babylon
5 station.
President Sheridan said,
"The reason for the meeting is that we are going to have an emergency
drill. We are all going to use a 2-meter handy transceiver with the frequency
set to 147.165 MHz. Each one of you will go to
different locations of Babylon 5 station. This will be the drill on
attacks."
Captain Lochley was located at
the bridge. Delenn was located at the engine room. Several others were
scattered within the private quarters. The drill has started. Captain Lochley
spoke through the ham transceiver, " QW87BABCOM, this is QW87BGFPET at the
bridge for the drill. The Shadows are taking over the bridge, we have three
dead people. Please send security guards. Go ahead John."
President Sheridan replied
through ham radio, "QW87BGFPET, this is QW87BABCOM for a drill. OK
Elizabeth. Got it clear. We'll send security guards and medical team to the
bridge."
Delenn spoke through the ham
transceiver, "QW87BABCOM, this is QW87ATYTRE at the engine room for the
drill. The Shadow is attacking the engineers in the engine room. We need
security guard immediately. Go ahead John."
President Sheridan replied
through ham radio, "QW87ATYTRE, this is QW87BABCOM for a drill. OK Delenn.
I'll send security guards to engine room."
Now the drill is finished. All of
the ham operators returned to communication room. President Sheridan said,
"Good works! We are going to have drills once a month. We will use 147.165
MHz for the drill. This will be open frequently for Babylon 5. We will have a
weekly net at that frequency. We'll plan the day and time later."
