Plunge into the gloomy corridors of the Babylon 5 space station, the last hope for peace in a galaxy torn by old wounds and mutual distrust. But this time, the threat does not come from outside, but is born in the very heart of its abandoned sectors.
What if you wake up in the wrong place? And not who he was? In the slums of the station, amid the garbage and despair, something incredible materializes. A creature made of silver sand, taking on the form of a human, but hiding an essence that would make even the bravest shudder. It's not just an alien. This Replicator is an ancient and ruthless war machine from the legends of other galaxies, a technological nightmare capable of consuming worlds. But inside this perfect battle platform, something else is beating – fragments of human consciousness, the confused memories of a man from a distant Land who does not understand how and why he became this.
He's The Third. Not a man, not really a machine. He has the power to crush ships and subdue technology with a single touch. He sees the world through the lens of the ruthless logic of Nanites and feels it through the prism of human emotions, which now seem alien. Was his appearance an accident? Or part of someone's grandiose, frightening plan?
He faces a choice: Hide? Destroy it? Or try to figure out who he is now in this cruel cosmos? But Babylon 5 is a crossroads of intrigue. There are spies, diplomats, criminals and powerful races around every corner, each with its own secrets and ambitions. Commander Jeffrey Sinclair senses an impending storm. Ambassador Delenn sees the warning signs. Ambassador Londo Mollari is mired in his own problems. And Ambassador G'Kar is always ready to fight. The station, already teetering on the brink of chaos, does not even suspect what kind of incomprehensible force is now roaming its lower decks.
And then HE appears. The mysterious ambassador of a new, unknown race is Lord Baal. Arriving on a ship that surpasses all known technologies, he claims the rights of his "Goa'uld Empire" to the unimaginable vastness of the galaxy. His smile is deceptive, his manners are impeccable, and his demands shock the Council. Who is he really? What does he want? And how does his appearance relate to the Mystery lurking in the slums of the station?
This is a story about lost identity and incredible power. About the fragility of the world and the ancient horrors awakening in the dark. About how one lost "hybrid" of man and machine can be the key to saving or destroying everything that is dear to the inhabitants of Babylon 5.
