Chapter Text

They found it buried beneath the surface of Io. It wasn’t the first seen in the solar system; that had been found under Mars, but another of its kind had come, dug it out, then gone. This one…

Earth had no intention of losing it. They wanted to study it, make it work for them. A Shadow ship in the hands of earth scientists could not be permitted, it was too dangerous; it had to be destroyed.

There was only one chance. Sheridan lured it into Jupiter’s atmosphere.

It worked; perhaps the first victory in the war against the Shadows.
