Fandom: Babylon 5
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: John Sheridan.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 400: Amnesty 40 at drabble_weekly, using Challenge 96: Space.
Spoilers/Setting: All Alone In The Night.
Summary: It was supposed to be a quick survey run to look into a possible problem, but now Sheridan is in big trouble.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Babylon 5, or the characters. They belong to J. Michael Straczynski.
A/N: Double drabble.
It had felt good to be flying again after what had felt like forever stuck behind a desk on an immobile space station. Being in charge of Babylon 5 was a prestigious assignment, but John Sheridan wasn’t used to staying in one place, which was why he’d jumped at the chance to take a Starfury out on a survey run. Well, that and wanting to still be eligible for flight pay. He needed to keep his hand in; he was a pilot, dammit! What use was an Earth Force captain who couldn’t fly?
So there he’d been, out in the blackness of space, along with his fighter escort, just about to head for home, when a ship of unknown configuration blasted out of hyperspace practically on top of them, immediately opening fire. They were like fish in a barrel, no escape route available…
Okay, the mysterious appearances and disappearances of the unknown ship were the reason Sheridan was out here in the first place, looking into it, and now he could say for sure that it was hostile; he just couldn’t warn anyone. He’d had to eject when his Starfury was hit.
This wasn’t a good situation to be in.
The End
