The End of B5

[Head Fur Shalafi]

B5 has fallen

After a bloody battle with casualties on both sides. The Borg's regenerative shields finally won out. When they sensed a victory the Borg borded B5 and captured control of it!!! But a brave engineering officer who everyone called "Warp" managed to overload the reactors before being assilated. In a mighty flash B5 was undone and the ensuing explosion damaged a nearby cube.

[Sheridan]

The clone Sheridan sat in his cell on the Babylon 5 station,.. the thunder of the stations guns reverberated through the room as the battle raged outside against the Borg.

He knew it would not be long,.. and it was not,.. the first Borg arrived, and then another. They advanced on the clone Sheridan and he backed up. There was no where to go and he knew it. The blood pumped and his face flushed as he understood death stood before him. In an odd way he began to resemble his namesake as his nose became beet red. The Clown died as the probes injected the nanoprobes. Even this author is chilled at the thought of a "Borg Sheridan",.. Sends chills up my spine.

As the Babylon 5 Station went up in a hail of fire,.. indeed the last best hope for mankind also went up, but it was not the end of mankind.



The Romulans were the first to understand what had happened and immediately ordered the preplanned evacuation of their peoples and fleets. In the months to come, Maximus would become the defacto leader, as most of his assets survived intact unlike the other nations. Between the cloaks and pre planning he kept most ships together, as he exited Borg space.

Other nations fought on not realizing just how many other Borg ships stood in 3rd space awaiting to hit the capitals. One by one they all fell.

Even the Cylons who had taken Earth,.. fell to the Borg nanoprobes,.. the combination of a Cylon/Borg was almost beyond imagination.

The Minbari fought to the last ship, to the last man-bari. Although they had a few victories in the end,.. they lost it all, but never gave up.

The Narn lasted the longest,.. they had the most practice at Gorilla warfare sparing with the EA for many months. They had positioned resources, supplies, and hidden bases,.. they fought the Borg for some time but in the end,.. even they had to face the obvious and also exited the Galaxy.

Where did the survivors go,.. ?




Location: Bridge of Maximus Plasmus Flagship,.. at the outskirts of the B5 Galaxy. Ships of all the races were gathering,.. least those that survived. It was indeed a rage tag fleet in search of a new home,..

Maximus,.. "Still no word?"

Comms,.. "None Sir, they must be out of Range"

Maximus paced the Bridge,.. and gave the order "All Nations!,.. All Ships!,.. coordinate a transmission to the Rim, on my word begin the following Transmission"

"President Sheridan and Vice President Ho Chi,.. can you hear us. This is Maximus Plasmus commander of surviving vessels of the Borg attacks, Please respond"

,..

,...

,..

There was no response,.. those days were gone.

,..

,..

,..

The Comms began to crackle,.. a faint static began,..


" ****eridan and H* Chi he**,.. **re,.. You O** Bastar* ***imus,,.. how *** you?"

A cheer erupted across the fleet, it could be felt in the decks of the ships such was the outburst.

Maximus,.. "Mr. President and Vice President,.. We are following your bread crumb trail!!! "



It was the trail Kosh had left Sheridan. Mankind had begun its next journey into the unknown,...

I just wanted to thank Shalafi for his time and effort to run this campaign. You did a great job under difficult circumstances. My only regret is that I had to run the EA, Fed side of things. I am sure postman or Scott could have done a better job but since they were nowhere to be found I did the best I could! Kind of ironic that I would be the one hitting the SD button on that very large tin can.

But again kudos to Shalafi for doing a great job!

It was and it will be again a pleasure to fly with you all!

Maximus turned and looked at his Flag Admiral,Mars.
Well the galaxy is lost. Our home world is no more.
But thanks to you my friend, all hope is not lost.
You did a outstanding work in saving our fleet and in securing enough assets for it and those who manged to flee and join us. A chance to make a clean break from the Borg.
Thank my lord. It is ironic that we follow in the footsteps of Sheridan isn't though? For so long we all were so convinced he was crazy. And now here we are following him ,trusting him.
Yes it is ironic, and i guess in a odd way formate.
Surely the gods have planed this or we all would be Borg.
And since we aren't. then i refuse to look back and despair, now and forever more we as race indeed all of our surviving races must look forward and trust to the future.
And some day in the future. We shall return, and then my friend it will be our turn to say Resistance is futile!
