Zack isn't in "Day of the Dead", so we have no idea where he was or what he was doing during that night. Maybe he was off station, taking a well-earned vacation. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yep, could have been at the Holo-brothel...

Hmm, I wonder who he would have selected for 'company'? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Oops, this could end up in NC17 /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm sure Zack had too much respect for Lyta to 'have' her in a holobrothel. Sit in his room, pining away for her, yes.

If that is true, he has certainly gone down in my estimation...
Get OVER it Zack!!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hm... Lyta was hardly dead yet during Day of the Dead, so that could not have been Zack's ghost appearance in any case. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyway, my guess - he was probably just asleep in his quarters which were probably on the "station" part of the station, i.e. not in Brakiri territory.

Well, there's always Lochley. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Actually, I don't think the holobrothel exists yet. It had just opened in River of Souls, and that takes place in mid-2263, about six months after "Objects at Rest."
Knowing Zack, he probably slept through the whole thing and didn't hear about any of it until the next morning. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
(I still think he was off-station, because otherwise someone would have brought the chief of security in on the problem, even if they had to wake him up.)

I may be wrong here, but who is to say he even needs to be off the station. Maybe he was working on the problem, but the author just didn't choose to mention what he was doing. (I forgot who penned this episode, sorry.)
After all, it is Garibaldi that is the paranoid one who tends to know how to do what he wants to do WHETHER OR NOT it is standard proceedure (or legal for that matter).

Let's face it - IF Zack was on the Brakiri side of the station during that time, who would he have met? NOBODY!
And why?
Because he's BORING! No respectable dead person would be caught.. well, dead, with him. Could you imagine the conversation the deceased would be having before the event...
"Who did you draw, Morden?"
"I got Lennier! Man, am I going to play with his mind. And what about you, Dodger?"
"I got Garabaldi, and I am going to play with his.. ahem... well, you know. And what about you, ex-president Clark? Who did you get?
<SILENCE>
"I got... Zack."
<SILENCE>
"Man, you must have led a pretty evil existance to get THAT assignment..."

Thanks, Galahad. I have had a crazy-busy week, and didn't have time to look that up in the Lurker's Guide.
Anyhow, there are too many young men here with too many hormones going wild is what I'm concluding. Everyone wants Zach to be having sex in a holobrothol. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Well according to John Travolta, that's about all Jeff Conaway did on the set of Grease, so it wouldn't be totally out of character.
Don't think that was a holo-brothel though.

Re: Neil Gaiman
Just a quick aside, if anyone is looking for a good read, I picked up Neil Gaiman's biography of Douglas Adams, "Don't Panic." Its pretty funny and is quite insightful.
It was a good read for the 7 hour flight from London to Philadelphia... the time flew by!

Lay off of Zach!
Oh, c'mon, stop ribbing Zach. He's a good guy, his heart's in the right place.
I've heard JMS didn't fill in much backstory for Zach, so Conaway came up with some stuff on his own. The story, as I recall, was pretty similar to Garibaldi's -- lots of previous problems, B5 was one of his last chances. Which seems to fit with one of the show's themes, the little guys and washouts making good (Vir, for example). So if Zach has that kind of a past, he probably would have seen someone from it. In other words an experience very similar to Lochley's, and therefore repetitive. Not bad, not boring, just already done.
And trust me, if Zach knew about part of the station disappearing, he'd be working on it! He's learned responsibility.
