Babylon 51994

Capt. John Sheridan:
As of now 0315 Earth Standard Time, I'm placing you under arrest for conspiracy to mutiny and failure to obey the chain of command. The order for Nightwatch to take over Babylon 5 Security came from the Political Office. The Political Office, despite its connection to the President, is a civilian agency outside the direct chain of command. Orders affecting Military Personnel, must come from within the Military hierarchy. Starting from the President, through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to your immediate superior officer. A Senator CANNOT give you a direct order. A GOVERNOR cannot give you a direct order! And neither can the Political Office. Make no mistake this is an illegal order. Now we've contacted Earthdome and requested confirmation of this order through proper channels, but since we seem to be having trouble with communications, this may take several days. Until then, you have two choices, you can stay where you are, or YOU CAN LEAVE... one at a time. On your way out, you'll turn in your link, identicard, and weapons. You'll be restricted to quarters until the revised orders come in. WHEN that happens anyone who wants to file a complaint against me, can do so. Otherwise have a pleasant stay.
