Babylon 5 Vol. 4.04: Eliphanies/The Illusion of Truth

The last of it's kind, the huge Babylon 5 space station is the last, best hope for victory for an alliance of the galaxy's leading races against an ancient evil. EIPHANIES The Shadow war is over; the threat of galactic damnation is gone, as the Vorlons and their cynical manipulation of the younger races. The Alliance now faces an even greater task: fight the Earth government and reclaim its territory planet by planet, all the way to Earth. This time humans will die on both sides. The arrival on Babylon 5 of Mr. Bester, a key Earth hatchet man, does not bode well. But Mr. Bester wants to cut a deal: in exchange for information of an Earth ambush that will be blamed on Babylon 5, he wants to go to Z'Ha'Dum and access the forbidden technology of the Shadows. But as Kosh once said, "If you go to Z'Ha'Dum, you will die..." THE ILLUSION OF TRUTH Captain Sheridan has always known that ISN, the Interstellar New Network, is corrupt mouthpiece of the evil Earth Government, but when an ISN reporter turns up at the station to make a "fair" broadcast about B5, Sheridan foolishly relents. The broadcast turns out to be a pathetic travesty, portraying B5 as a place were humans are the subject of cruel and terrifying experiments and suffer terrible depravations. If this was not bad enough, Sheridan father has gone missing, too. © PTN Consortium
