![]() Byron and the rest of Black Omega intercepted and surrounded another transport suspected of carrying rogue telepaths, demanding the crew turn the telepaths over to them or face deadly force, with which the mundane transport crew complied. Sometime later, Psi Corps received word of a covert operation smuggling telepaths into Earth's outer colonies, where it would be harder for MetaPol to find them. Unknown to anyone besides Bester's inner circle, it was actually Bester who staged the assassination, spending years planting telepathic triggers in Johnston's aides. Officially the bombing was blamed on the Telepath Resistance, playing out exactly as he claimed. The damaged modular section quickly flooded and Bester had only just been able to escape before it auto-detached to save the rest of the complex, though the Director was not as lucky. Claiming that one of Johnston's guards turned on the Director during a late night meeting with the Psi Cop, Bester shot the guard in the leg before he set off a bomb. Awoken by an explosion that rocked the facility, Byron found a wounded Bester near a flooded section of the base where the Director had been staying. Morden from Earthforce New Technologies Division, the members of Black Omega bunked down for the night. Escorting Bester back to the Black Omega transport, Byron and Ysidra then headed to Ganymede, docking at the secret Icehouse facility much to the surprise of base staff. The ship exploded, damaging Bester's Starfury. After a sensor scan showed that the ship was empty, Bester realized it was a trap set by Director Johnston and his cronies. On November 18, Byron accompanied Bester and Tapia in pursuit of a transport supposedly carrying rogue telepaths which they tracked and captured near Jupiter. Though Bester considered him somewhat young and naive, he still intended Byron to become one of his inner circle like Donne and Ysidra Tapia. In 2256, Byron was assigned to Black Omega Squadron under the command of Alfred Bester. Having tested as a strong P12, he was trained through the Corps' Minor and Major Academies before fully graduating as a MetaPol Psi Cop. The episode is still exceptional and you will later learn in season 3 just how amazing and exceptional it really is when all the mysteries of the episode are revealed.Like many Earth telepaths, Byron was raised by the Psi Corps. While the quirky character of Zathras and the odd and surprising ending may confuse you, please bear with it. So, Sinclair and his team assemble a rescue mission to evacuate the old station before it vanishes again, as it's re-appearance is very unstable. Now, for some odd reason, B-4 reappears and seems to be stuck in some time shift. In this episode you learn that the previous station, Babylon 4, disappeared without a trace a few years earlier. While other sci-fi shows may be a recurring plot, I have never seen a show like B-5 where even small characters play important parts in later shows. ![]() This really is something no other sci-fi series has ever done. Once again, the genius of the series' main writer Michael Scraczynski shines through, as he plotted many story elements and weaves them in and out of various episodes-never forgetting the loose threads and expertly bringing all these elements into one giant tapestry. That's because you are given a small glimpse of what is occurring and in season 3, this SAME episode is repeated but from an entirely different perspective-giving you a fuller picture of what is occurring. When you watch this episode, understand that SOME of it might be a bit confusing.
