She dreamed. In her thoughts pictures emerged. Pictures of strange beings
with a grey flaky face. She saw a young man. He suddenly seemed so
familiar to her. But before she could think more further a mocking laughter
could be heard in the background and the scene dissolved into air. After
that scene spaceships emerged in her mind, and then a small shuttle and a
turning object. In this object many faces circled, but she couldn't
identify any of them. Finally the scene disappeared and she shot up in the
bed. Carefully she looked around. She was lying in a quite comfortable
bed and slowly she remembered the events of the last days. The last thing
she remembered was the escape from the group of aliens and the man, who had
helped her. She could now see him lying on a sofa in the next room.
Something about him seemed familiar to her, but she could not recall, what
it was. She continued to look around the room searchingly and discovered a
clock. It indicated 5.30 am. She could feel her stomach rumouring. She
looked around for a refrigerator and finally saw a small kitchen. She only
wanted to eat a little bit and then she would leave again. She knew that
first she would need some money and a weapon. So she looked around the
night console and found a small purse. Hopefully she was able to use this
one. She continued to search but couldn't find any weapons. She did not
want to examine the man for weapons. The next thing she saw was his long
black coat lying on a chair. That coat would give her a good cover. After
she had put the coat on, she examined the contents of the refrigerator,
grabbed some food and then left the quarters.
Irresolutely she stood in front of the door. Walks extended to her left and to her right side. Since she did not know where to go she decided to go to her right. She pulled the hood of the coat over her head and deep into her face. She really wasn't looking forward to any more encounters with strange aliens.
'Damn it!!!' thought Marcus Cole while he was furiously pacing his quarters. The strange woman, whom he had so laboriously looked for and found after a long search, had disappeared again. In addition she had taken his credit card and his beloved coat. He had informed the head of security and Dr. Franklin immediately. In his coat she would be simply noticeable because probably it would be a little too large for her. On the other hand he was really worried about her. First of all she did not seem to originate from this sector and secondly she had no memory of who she was and to the place she came from. In addition the Narn seemed to have a special interest in her. They still thought that she has formed an alliance with the shadows and due to that is responsible for the attack on their colony. Yesterday he had been there in time to intervene but what would happen if he would be too late the next time. He had to find this woman as quick as possible.
More deeply and more deeply she drag into the sectors of the space station. In the meantime she had found herself on some kind of entertainment deck but there she had felt like being on a presentation plate. So she had left that sector immediately. Now she finds herself in sector brown and the creatures whom she met there became more and more strangely. She was grateful that the coat and the hood covered the most important parts of her body. After a while she found that her stomach slowly started to rumour but still she was afraid of using the credit card.
When she went around the next corner she suddenly almost collided with some men from the security department. She wanted to turn straight and disappear in the other direction as suddenly one of the men behind her called. "Stop!" She tried to escape but it was useless. They were too many and she was surrounded by them soon. One of the guards pulled the hood from her head. "So I was right. It's you. Marcus will be glad to get his belongings back. You will be put under arrest because of theft." Actually the man had not wanted to be so hard. This was the way on which he agreed with Marcus and the Chief. They hope to make the woman stay through this way. He pulled her with him and brought her back to the upper levels and the safety area. There they brought her into one of the cells. He informed Marcus but they come to the conclusion to let her stay in the cell for a view hours. Like an imprisoned animal the woman dragged around in the cell. The longer she was locked up the worse she felt. She did not know, for what reason this up-locking made her so mad her, but there would surely be a good reason which she simply could not remember. After another hour in the prison had passed, she couldn't bear it any longer. Along with the pressing tightness of her non-existent memory she was now overcome by panic. She started to hammer with her fists on the door but nobody was responding to the drums. Finally she began to scream loudly and started to attack the door with her feet. Only a few minutes later she could feel the pain in her feet and her hands but she didn't even notice her broken arm. After approximately ten further minutes the door opened and a security guard finally stormed into the cell. But he did not succeed to calm her down. So he shot her down with his pistol. After that he informed the med lab and Marcus Cole.
Slowly she opened her eyes. Panic ascended again in her, because she thought she still was in the cell. She wanted to jump up, but a hand pressed her back onto the bed she was lying on. "Please calm down. You aren't in the cell any more, you are in the med lab. Nothing will happen to you." a gentle voice said. She opened up her eyes. Slowly the memory of the last days came back. Before her sat the man, who had saved her from these aliens. "What had happened?" she asked laboriously. "You had an attack of claustrophobia in the cell and you were rioting in there. Since the security guard could not stop you, he shot you and brought you here." She really wasn't able to remember the last things which had happened. When she tried to move a terrible pain moved through her arm and she remembered that it had broken these few days ago. However no sound of the pain came over her lips. But from the expression of her face they could recognize that this must have been painful. "Your broken arm suffered during your outbreak and retarded the healing strongly. The doctor will come here immediately and attend to your arm." She stared at him with empty eyes. She heard his words, but they did not seem to make it through to her mind. Before she could think about what to say the doctor arrived. Meanwhile she had accustomed herself to the face of the doctor and from all persons she had met so far he seemed to her the most trustworthily. Without a word she stretched her arm into his direction. Within ten minutes the doctor had finished his work. "Please try to keep your arm quiet within the next days, because otherwise the arm will be permanent damaged and even an operation will not help. If you need anything you can visit me at any time." "Thank you." the woman answered quiet and a little smile appeared on her lips but disappeared again after a view seconds. "May I go now?" The doctor looked at the instruments and controlled them. "Physically I don't see any reason for you to stay here but I am very worried about your psyche." With that she sat up angrily, pushed the other man to the side and jumped out of the bed. "I wonder how you would feel" she snapped at them "when someone deletes your memory injustice and above all else no one knows who you are because you come from a far away place?" She tried to run past at the two men and to the door. But the man with the dark hair blocked her way immediately. "How would we be able to help you when you always run away and make the half station search for you? Why don't your remain here and we try to solve the mystery together?" he asked her and regarded her intensively. Being silent she looked at him for awhile. Suddenly she felt struck by her own weapons. Slow and quiet she answered "Because I'm anxious." Marcus hadn't expected any other answer. In addition it was completely understandable. Carefully he put an arm around her shoulders and led her back to the doctor. She followed him wordlessly.
Carefully she set on the bed and regarded the two men with expectation. Finally she asked quietly "Do you have any idea how to help me?" "Not so far, I'm afraid." the doctor answered. "So far it never had been necessary to remove the erosion of a memory. We can only wait and hope that your memory returns." Infuriated the woman wanted to jump up again, but Marcus held back her. "Maybe Lyta can have a look at her." The doctor nodded approving. "Who?" the woman asked. "Lyta is the official representative of the Psi Corps here on Babylon 5." Marcus answered. "What is the Psi Corps?" came the reply. "It's the official organization of telepath on the earth"
'Telepaths' while she thought about that a vision appeared in her mind. She saw herself walking through an enormous spaceship and suddenly she could hear thousands of voices in her head. Frightened she reached for the edge of the bed. "What is the matter?" the doctor asked anxiously. "I ... I do not know. I think I had some kind of a vision. I was on an enormous spaceship and suddenly I heard thousands of voices in my head. It was terrible." Marcus thought. "Maybe she remembers the White Star on which we found her? Telepaths from Minbar had been on board the ship." "That would explain the voices" the doctor nodded approving, while the woman regarded the two men askingly. She couldn't remember anything. After a view seconds the two men gazed at her. "I think for today we're finished here. I suggest I take her with me to my quarters. You will be safe there . even from the Narn." Marcus said. The woman looked at him askingly "The Narn is the race, which attacked you in the walk." With fright she remembered the night in the walk. Gratefully she regarded the ranger. He had saved her that night. For the moment his quarters really seemed to be the safest place. "Okay." She answered. "I will come with you." With that she jumped of the bed and followed him out of the med lab.
They went to his quarters in silence. After they had arrived Marcus asked "Are you hungry?" Just in this instant her stomach began to rumour. "I think so." "Great. Now you have the wonderful opportunity to try the food from the best cook in the galaxy." He answered with a smile on his face. While he was working in his kitchen, the woman looked around in his quarter. On the walls she could see pictures of star constellations and planets, which she had never seen in her live before. The quarter was furnished quite comfortable. Tiredly she sat down on the sofa. After about half an hour Marcus was finished with the meal and brought two steaming plates with him. "I hope you will like it. It is nothing special" She snuffled greedily and started eating. After less than ten minutes she had emptied her plate up to the last remainder. "That was really good, but I would like to sleep now if you don't mind." Marcus nodded approving. "You must be very exhausted" "That's right." Before she put herself to sleep, Marcus said "Tomorrow we will go to Chief Garribaldi. Maybe we can find something in his data bases." The woman nodded approving. He handed her a trouser and a t-shirt. "This might be a little bit too large, but for this night it will do. Now I whish you a good night." She changed her clothes, cuddled herself under the covers of the bed and had fallen asleep within seconds.
Irresolutely she stood in front of the door. Walks extended to her left and to her right side. Since she did not know where to go she decided to go to her right. She pulled the hood of the coat over her head and deep into her face. She really wasn't looking forward to any more encounters with strange aliens.
