Babylon 51994

Jane:
[the ISN Anchor is reporting on the beginning of the EarthForce military coup, displayed on Zocolo monitors]... repeating this special bulletin. We have just received raw footage of a firefight between EarthForce ships taking place, even now, at the transfer point on Io. The main vessel has been positively identified as the Alexander, under the command of General William Hague. The Alexander and her two companion vessels have been surrounded by EarthForce cruisers and ordered to surrender. The Alexander has refused to surrender, and is calling for other EarthForce divisions to join in opposing President Clark. For the first time since the early days of the Mars Rebellion, Earth vessels are fighting one another.

[the crowd surrounding the monitors begins to clap... ]

Jane:
The Excalibur and the Schwarzkopf have been hit, allowing Hague and his companion vessels to escape!
