A) Naomi volunteers. (I know, that doesn't fit your brief)
B) Morpheus points out that this isn't a submarine, and Jim challenges him to prove that; and since that is much more easily done, Morpheus is amenable. The anti-grav technology is futuristic enough that Jim is, if not completely convinced, he's mollified. The dream about Blair convinces him more.
Actually, A) sort of fits, because one wouldn't really expect that to be what happens!
B) Oh, I like that. The change wouldn't entirely derail the story, but it would alter it somewhat. (For the record, I'm glad you went with the sky bit, because that's one of my favorite scenes in the story.)
The alien brushes against Cally's mind at the moment of the explosion, but she and Avon shield against her, so the alien goes to the physically closest being instead: Servalan.
The others still find out about Avon's telepathy, because Cally tells them.
With the alien in her mind, Servalan-alien is a force to be reckoned with; she styles herself Supreme Empress after she defeats the coup which deposed Servalan in the original timeline. The alien may not have all the powers she had before, but she is still more powerful than a human. She still wants to get home, but while she's here, she might as well go on being served by intelligent menials. She focuses the Federation's energy on (a) building trans-galactic ships and (b) capturing the Liberator.

What if the Sarcophagus Alien had taken over Servalan's body instead of Cally's on Terminal?
