Part 13
To Earthforce central command. URGENT MESSAGE.
Hmm...intelligence picked the following up on a narrow beam com-channel
heading for some region near Centauri space.
Unfortunately we weren't able to ride the channel before the sender disconnected. We don't know who sent it (we've got people working on the snippet of location we got), but it is pretty damn obvious what their
intentions are.
As you know, we are currently in orbit about Epsilon 3, alongside Babylon
5. The Nostromo is currently undergoing repairs, so is a prime target for
a terrorist attack.
If you have any information you can give us, please do ASAP. Also, maybe
your tracking units can search the lines for locations that match that
below?
Anyway, here's the snippet we managed to get. Playing it now--

Sergeant Dunne - you seem to have contacts in high places; you know
anything about this?
Lovely place, this station. One of the best things the old Alliance ever
did. Anyway, the Nostromo should be back to full working order soon -
apparently they had some trouble with the electronics; some of the circuitry had been fused together and was badly corroded, I believe - so we'll be departing soon after that.
General SM Jones,
Chief Commanding Officer of the Nostromo, signing off.
