When we last left the.. remaining.. crew of the Nighthawk, a special agent from the alternate universe  who bears a striking resemblance to Cmdr Sheridan. brings news about the Factions plans. Meanwhile, LtCmdr Jah'd in a fit of curiosity managed to spook the alternate Sheridan's allies into running.  No one knows if SubCommander Sheridan managed to get the stand down signal in time and now the ships are prep
