The White Star Fighter appeared on the horizon. Summer heard the yell from Station Ops and came rushing in, "What is it?"
"We have a fighter on the screen?", the operations officer reported.
"A Zaranite?", Summer asked.
"No and they are requesting docking in Federation Standard.", the docking master reported.
"Are they armed?", Summer asked.
"No.", the master reported.
"Let them land. Find Mr. Celot and inform the Commodore.", Summer ordered as she headed to the docking bay.
Summer had never seen the dark blue uniforms before as Captain Vance Edison and Commander Shayna Edison exited the shuttle, followed closely by the Minbari Engineer Alexander Tennyson.
"Commander Summer Vasa of the Phoenix Federation, Phoenix Colony and Governor's Station.", Summer looked the humans.
"Captain Vance Edison of the Earth Alliance.", Vance looked Summer.
"What is the Phoenix Federation?", Vance asked.
Summer looked at the Commodore as the portly Hierarchy Clanner entered the room. Vance pulled his weapon, "What the hell is that?"
Tan looked over, "Easy, Captain. We are not the enemy, unless you are."
Celot entered the room, in full warlord regalia. Shayna shouted, "Sir, its a Vorlon."
"A what?", Summer interrupted as everyone started pulling their weapons.
"This is a Breen in a warlord refrigeration suit.", Tan explained.
"To us, he looks like a Vorlon, an enemy of Earth Alliance.", Vance stood back, weapons still drawn.
"I assure you. I stand with Commodore Tan.", Celot spoke in a deep distorted and amplified voice.
"The Shadow Vessel passed very close to the station dropping several incidieries and in a flash, the station had fallen through what we would consider a temporal rift and we ended up here.", Tennyson looked at Tan.
"Shadow?", Summer asked.
"Maybe cloaked?", Tan responded. No one knew the politics of the Earth Alliance and the Shadows.
"What do you want from us?", Summer asked.
"We just wanna go home. However messed up home is, it is still home.", Vance explained.
Summer thought of the surface. With all the chaos surrounding the recent war with the Tamarians, the devastating loss of the data, the war with the Federation and now the embarrassing Ishka infestation, it was still home.
Summer looked at the Minbari Engineer, "Come with me. We need to have every piece of information you have on the temporal rift."
Tan looked at Vance, "Please come and tell me everything about your history."
Tan looked at Shayna, the beautiful red head, "Come with us. We have much to discuss."
Summer tapped her combadge, "Inform the surface that we have made a first contact with the station. Ask Commodore Viceroy to send any available ships to the station for telemetry monitoring. We need every piece of information about the station. We are gonna try to put them back. In order to do that, we need to know where they are and anything about how they made it through the temporal rift."
T'Zohl stood on the bridge of the USS Quasar Quest looking out at the station, "Interesting design?"
John walked over, "That it is. Looks like about 50 years behind anything that we have, but very functional."
"There are a great many lifesigns on board, John. We have to find them a way home.", T'Zohl looked at John.
"Home is where you make it.", John reminded the Vulcan, "Look at you, you are a long way from Vulcan."
T'Zohl looked at John, "I can go anytime I want to John. These people do not have that option. They are lost and alone in a world they don't quite understand."
"We can and will help them, Commander.", John smiled.
"I hope so.", T'Zohl responded.
