Characters: Jeffrey Sinclair.
Rating: G
Written For: My Bittiest Bingo square Challenge 14: Line In The Sand at drabblesoup.
Spoilers/Setting: And The Sky Full Of Stars.
Summary: Sinclair was there during the Battle of the Line, but he still doesn’t remember what happened.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Babylon 5, or the characters. They belong to J. Michael Straczynski.
The war was going badly for earth; the Minbari were unstoppable, their weapons and technology vastly superior to anything Earthforce had available.
They fought back with everything they had, but the best they could manage was to slow the Minbari fleet’s approach. It was never going to be enough; the ships kept coming, picking off earth’s defence forces, driving them back.
In a last-ditch attempt, every ship still able to fly formed a cordon around the planet. No one gets through, no matter what.
Outnumbered, outgunned, defeat was inevitable, and yet…
The Minbari surrendered.
And Sinclair still doesn’t know why.
The End
