NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS

The following story takes place after the events depicted in the Babylon 5 
episode 'Z'ha'dum'.
"The kind of girl a guy like me doesn't have a chance with."
Security Chief Michael Garibaldi
Babylon 5 was an Earth alliance station that had been built in neutral space to 
be used as a meeting place where all governments could come and settle disputes. 
It was hoped by Earth's government that a war like the one that Earth had with 
the Minbari Federation, which almost ended in the genocide of the human race, 
could be avoided. Michael Garibaldi had been assigned to Babylon 5 in 2257 when 
the Earth Alliance station first became operational. At least with the help of 
Babylon 5 things had remained peaceful, but by 2261 the Earth Alliance was 
broken in two by civil war, the Narns were fighting to regain their home world 
from the Centauri and the Shadow war was going full tilt. 
Then in the middle of all this after years of being supposedly dead Anna 
Sheridan the wife of Captain John Sheridan, the commanding officer of Babylon 5, 
not only popped up on the station out of nowhere but convinced him to go with 
her to Z'ha'dum. To the very home world of the Shadows. The people Garibaldi 
thought were the enemy. If that wasn't enough, soon after the captains 
departure, a Shadow fleet came out of nowhere and surrounded Babylon 5. Well of 
course something had to be done in response. So, as futile as it may have seemed 
at the time, Ivonova scrambled all the Starfuries and had them take up defensive 
positions around the station. 
Because of the urgency of the situation Garibaldi volunteered to pilot a 
Starfury. Within minutes of the shadows appearance Garibaldi found himself in 
the cockpit of a Starfury facing down what had to be the largest battle fleet he 
had ever seen. As he thought of such battles from old Earth history like the 
Alamo, he reminded himself that if he did go down it wouldn't be without a 
fight.
With his Starfury's four pulse cannons charged and ready Garibaldi found himself 
staring at something that was almost impossible to describe. The Shadow ships 
which he was facing looked as if they were arachnid in design and where if 
possible a shade deeper then the deepest black which both reflected and absorbed 
the light of the epsilon sun. Despite the fact they were only ships there were 
an almost intangible quality about them that gave the impression that they were 
alive.
Then it happened, without warning, one after another the Shadow ships started to 
disappear. As he watched, the disappearing vessels with mounting confusion 
Garibaldi saw a Shadow ship heading directly toward him. As he began to take 
evasive maneuvers to avoid what was almost sure to be a collision with it the 
Shadow vessel changed course slightly and flew over Garibaldi's Starfury. A few 
seconds later the Shadow vessel latched onto Garibaldi's craft with a tractor 
beam and dragged him along as it cloaked and entered the vast crimson depths of 
hyperspace.



After being towed for over a day in hyperspace Garibaldi collapsed into sleep 
from a combination of extreme exhaustion and lack of food. He awoke and found 
himself in a room with a bed dresser filled with clothes and a bathroom. A few 
minutes after he awoke a woman entered the room wearing the black uniform of a 
psi cop Garibaldi took an instant disliking to her the moment he saw her. The 
Psi Cops were an internal investigations division of Psi Corp. 
Psi Corp was an organization that oversaw the training of telepaths in the 
responsible use of their abilities so they would not accidentally hurt or scan 
anyone. One way that a telepath could scan someone was by making skin to skin 
contact. To prevent this from happening all members of Psi Corp. were required 
to always wear gloves. It was also mandatory for all telepaths to become members 
of the Corp. If someone did not want to become part of Psi Corp., they could 
either be sent to a relocation camp which, according to some critics of Psi 
Corp, where no better then concentration camps or take what was called the 
sleepers. The sleepers where a chemical compound that would suppress telephatic 
abilities. The two major divisions in Psi Corp were The Psi cops and the 
Commercial telepaths.
The Psi cops were charged with enforcing all laws pertaining to telepaths and 
maintaining the security of Psi Corp itself. The Psi cops had broad powers 
especially when it came to investigating any crimes that may have been committed 
by telepathy and it was suspected by people both in and out of the corp, 
Garibaldi included, that the Psi Cops MAY have done some ethically shaky things, 
in order to enforce those laws. One Psi cop in particular had drawn Garibaldi's 
hatred was named Albert Bester whom Garibaldi had come in contact with one too 
many times to please him during his stint on Babylon 5. 
Commercial telepaths were usually employed to participate in business negations. 
The commercial telepaths would scan all the parties who were negotiating to make 
sure that everything was kept honest. Commercial telepaths were also sometimes 
called in by government agencies to scan people to help with an ongoing 
investigation.
Doing her best to not let the feelings of anger and dislike she was feeling from 
Garibaldi bother her, the woman explained that purely by "accident", while 
flying through hyperspace, a squadron of Psi Corps omega Starfuries came across 
Garibaldi's Starfury being towed by the Shadow vessel and had liberated him from 
his captors. Of course being caring people and concerned for his well-being his 
rescuers had brought him back here for rest and recuperation. When Garibaldi 
asked exactly where "here" was, all the woman would say was that he should not 
worry, get some rest and that he would soon be back on Babylon 5 where he 
belonged.
Then it had begun, days that were filled with Garibaldi being treated and 
examined by Psi Corp. physicians. When the treatments had started, he found 
himself feeling more tired and lethargic with each passing day. After the first 
couple of days when he asked, Garibaldi was told that the bouts of sleepiness 
that he was experiencing were just being caused by the drugs they were giving 
him and that the added sleep would help him recuperate faster. His first thought 
after hearing the explanation was that it was just a bunch of Psi Corp. garbage 
just like about almost anything else that came flying out of their mouths. 
Nevertheless as Garibaldi was painfully aware, he could do nothing about his 
situation.
After the third day of his convalescence Garibaldi started having dreams every 
night about a woman whom he had not seen in years, Talia Winters. Garibaldi had 
met her in 2258 when she had been assigned to Babylon 5 by Psi Corp to serve as 
the stations commercial telepath. Talia was a slimly built blond of medium 
height who had more, importantly to Garibaldi, a very beautiful personality that 
matched her physical beauty.
Yet it was to never be for the two of them. Despite all his attempts to win her 
interest romantically, the most Garibaldi had with Talia was a very cool 
friendship. He eventually resigned himself to the fact that they would never be 
lovers. Despite all the reasons she had given him, he felt she had never talked 
to him about the real reason for his being what he felt was rejected out of 
hand. The real reason he suspected was that they were just too different from 
one another and she was unable to deal with it. The difference between them was 
that she was a telepath and he was not. It had not been the most ideal of 
situations for him especially when she would tell him what a wonderful person he 
was and he would then think of all his feelings for her and the potential they 
might have had together if she had only given it a chance.
Then in 2259 Lyta Alexander a rouge telepath who was on the run from Psi Corp 
arrived on Babylon 5 claiming that someone on the station was actually a spy as 
part of a Psi Corp sleeper program. The way it worked was that Psi Corp had an 
alternate personality implanted within the individual's sub-conscious without 
their knowledge. The alternate personality would influence their actions in ways 
that allowed them to find out what Psi Corp needed to know. With Lytas' help the 
B5 command staff began searching for the Psi Corp. spy and they found that it 
was Talia Winters. The only way to find the spy was by telepathically 
transmitting a code word to someone mind, which would cause the alternate 
personality to replace the person's original personality. And so when it was 
discovered that Talia was the Psi Corp. mole she was forced to leave Babylon 5.
So Garibaldi had been a friend of Talia until her departure from Babylon 5. So 
he had to be content with the idea that if the two of them were to ever be 
together romantically it was to be only in his dreams. Dreams which had occurred 
over the last few years with less and less frequency, until they stopped 
totally. Until now when his dreams about Talia resumed. They were something like 
this . . . 



Talia entered the room and stood by the bed as she gazed down at the sleeping 
form of Garibaldi. She leaned over him and slowly caressed his cheek with her 
black gloved hand. After a second she lifted her hand to the level of her eyes 
and contemplated the glove. She then took off her gloves and with both hands 
resumed caressing his face. As Talia caressed him, she luxuriated in the feel of 
his smooth skin. It was a special feeling for her since as a telepath she had 
always been forced to wear gloves to prevent her from accidentally doing 
something like she was about to do now. 
As Talia let her hand glide over Garibaldi's cheek using her telepathic 
abilities, she reached out for his slumbering mind. As her mind touched his she 
took a second to appreciate the absolute peace that sleep brought him. Talia 
brought him out of his deep sleep to a state between full consciousness and 
sleep. In his current state of semi-consciousness he would be able and react to 
things as if he were fully awake but he would perceive things as if they were 
part of a dream. Since the implanted personality had taken control of Talia 
there was very little left of her original personality. What was left felt a 
strong physical attraction for Garibaldi and she didn't care what she did as 
long as it meant having him.
Staring down at Garibaldi, Talia leaned over and passionately kissed him on the 
lips. As her lips locked with his, Talia felt Garibaldi pull away from her and 
she found herself staring into his eyes. "Talia is that you?" Garibaldi asked in 
a dazed and confused sounding voice as he sat up. "Yes Michael" is all Talia 
said in reply as she resumed kissing him. Garibaldi wrapped both his arms around 
Talia's waist as he slowly pulled her down toward the bed.
As they lay there on the bed kissing one another Talia and Garibaldi's hands 
began to wander and caress each other. Garibaldi's hand slowly moved down 
Talia's back and began massaging one of Talia's buttocks. "That feels 
delightful" Talia purred in Garibaldi's ear as she moved her hand between his 
legs and began running it over his crotch. Garibaldi hugged her closer to him as 
he began to suck on her neck and a low soft moan escaped from Talia. She wrapped 
both arms around him holding Garibaldi tightly to her as he sucked on Talia's 
neck with ever increasing pressure.
"Hold up for a sec Michael" Talia said slowly pulling back from him. She rose 
from the bed and quickly removed all her clothes, dropping them on the floor 
next to the bed. " So you like?" Talia asked. "No" Garibaldi replied as he took 
in the sight of her naked body "I love it!" "Well so do I." Talia said in 
response as she removed the blanket from the bed exposing Garibaldi clad in only 
his pajama bottoms.
Talia lowered herself onto the bed and, straddling Garibaldi's waist, sat on top 
of him. Leaning forward she began running her hand lightly over his firm chest 
and then down toward his stomach and finally his crotch where she resumed 
playing with his penis through his clothes. In response, Garibaldi sat up 
putting his arms around her again and began sucking vigorously on one of her 
nipples.
"OH Michael!" Talia said passionately "that feels sooooo good!" She began 
fumbling with his clothing trying to get his penis out, with little success. 
"Talia" Garibaldi said "get off me please." Talia complied and stood next to the 
bed waiting while Garibaldi worked the rest of his cloth's off. "So what do you 
think?" Garibaldi asked. Talia laid down on the bed next to him and took his 
penis in her hand and started to play with it. "Well" Talia said "I think I 
waited too long to get a hold of this thing."
As Talia took his stiffening rod and resumed running her hand up and down it, 
Garibaldi started to suck on one of her breasts while playing with the other 
one. "That feels good." Garibaldi said. "You like that." Talia responded "Then 
you should love this." She gave him one final squeeze and then maneuvered so her 
face was right above his crotch.
Taking his testicles in her hand and squeezing on them ever so slightly Talia 
began to play with them as she began to lick the head of his penis. She started 
to lick her way down one side of his tool and then up the other all the while 
playing with his balls. Taking the head of his rod into her mouth "That feels 
great Talia!" Garibaldi exclaimed as he watched his rod disappear into her 
mouth. After a few minutes Talia began to take first one, then other of his 
balls into her mouth while with both hands she began to play with his now rock 
hard member.
After a few minutes' Talia said "I think you're about ready." she then 
positioned her crotch above Garibaldi's face. Grabbing hold of her buttocks he 
started to eat her out as Talia's lips started to work their way back down his 
tool. She continued bobbing her head up and down while one of her hands played 
with his balls and Garibaldi started to lick away at her now swollen clitoris. 
They continued like that with Garibaldi licking and sucking alternately at her 
clit and slit attempting to suck down every last drop of her juices. Talia 
continued to play with his balls as she licked and sucked away at his penis with 
ever increasing lust.
As she was sucking a way at him and licked away at some pre cum that had seeped 
out Talia said "Okay Stallion this cowgirl wants to go for a ride." She gave his 
tool one final lick and positioned her crotch over it and began to slowly impale 
herself on it. "Oh god your tight" Garibaldi exclaimed as his tool finished 
entering Talia and began to slowly push upwards with his hips.
"No let me do that Michael" Saying this Talia began to slowly bounce up and down 
as she took Garibaldi by the back of the head and guided his mouth to one of her 
nipples. Taking his cue from her, Garibaldi wrapped his arms around her an 
started to suck on one of Talia's breasts as she continued pumping up and down 
on his member with her hips.
Garibaldi sucked on Talia's breasts each in turn as she began to increase the 
rhythm as she moved up and down. "Oh yes! You feel so good in me!" She yelled as 
Garibaldi sucked on one of Talia's breasts with ever increasing vigor. He then 
slipped an arm from around her so he could play with her free breast. 
Garibaldi lifted his head away from Talia's breast and lowered her toward him 
and kissed her. "Talia" Garibaldi said "I can't believe this is finally 
happening I . . . " "Shut up." Talia said cutting him off, her voice full of 
lust "And keep on fucking me." She bent back down mashing her lips on his as she 
resumed kissing him and Garibaldi continued to thrust deeper and ever deeper 
into her, all the while increasing the pace of their love making.
As they kissed Talia's lips parted and her tongue forced its way past 
Garibaldi's lips and began to play in Garibaldi's mouth. Garibaldi's tongue 
returned her tongues attention as he pulled her toward him mashing her breasts 
upon his chest. All the while their gyrations having reached a fever pitch Talia 
screamed "Oh god!" as she orgasimed and she heard Garibaldi let out a loud moan 
as he orgasimed right along with her. Their bodies spent, they fell upon the bed 
and lay awhile entwined in each others limbs. "You know" Talia said "Michael it 
was very good and I wish we had done it sooner." Taking her hand and kissing it 
Garibaldi said "So do I Talia." And that is where his dream ended.



She took his head in both her hands and gently kissed him on the lips. While she 
kissed him, Talia used the physical contact to telepathically connect with his 
mind and put it back into the state of sleep she first found him in. Slowly 
unentwining herself from him, Talia said "You were good tonight stud I can't 
wait until tomorrow."
Getting up from the bed, Talia took a long appreciative look at Garibaldi before 
she covered him up in the bed sheets and she gathered her clothing from the 
floor and began dressing. Just as she finished getting dressed, Talia heard her 
link beep. Removing the link from her pocket she answered it. "Yes" "Ms Winters 
are you finished having your fun now?" Talia heard Bester asked impatiently. 
"Yes ?" Talia responded "the doctors can have him now." "Thank you." Bester said 
"A few more nights of reconditioning his mind and he will be programmed to do 
what we want him to and we should be ready to return him to Babylon 5." "And by 
the way" Bester continued "why I'm even bothering to let you fool around with 
him like this is beyond me. I mean the man is a mundane for gods' sake." "Well" 
Talia responded "some might say it's your generous nature, but I know you better 
then that." "Well., anyway" Bester said "I will expect you in my office in ten 
minutes Ms. Winters." Then Talia heard him terminate the connection and she put 
her link back in her jacket pocket and as she started to leave the room some Psi 
Corp. Medics entered and not so gently lifted the sleeping Garibaldi on a gurney 
and wheeled him out of the room.



THE END
