synopsis
The first of Babylon 5's multipart episodes (discounting the 2-hour pilot, which was later telecast as a two-parter), "A Voice in the Wilderness" was written by J. Michael Straczynski. The story gets under way when curious seismic activity is detected on Epsilon 3, the planet which B5 orbits. Investigating, the crew discovers the vestiges on an ancient civilization -- only to be attacked by alien forces. Meanwhile, Garibaldi suffers guilt pangs when his former girlfriend is injured during an insurrection on the Mars Colony. Part One of "A Voice in the Wilderness" was originally broadcast on July 27, 1994.
