The discovery of an alien mystery ship by the Excalibur prompts an immediate exploration. They find a single crew member (barely) alive and bring him aboard - unaware that he conceals a dangerous secret.

From the B5 magazine: While visiting political officers determine a new look for the Excalibur and its crew in order to improve morale back home, the sole survivor aboard an alien spaceship threatens the mission.

The crew discovers a derelict alien ship in space, leading to an invasion of Excalibur. Meanwhile, two propaganda specialists from Earth have be sent to the Excalibur in an effort to improve the image of the ship and her crew in the eyes of the people back home.
