Like Barton, wasn't aware there was this much still out here in this
day and age. Is this all drawn and written by the Pini's or are they
done by other folks.

The following is the official Warner Bros. synopsis distributed to PTEN
affiliate stations. Be warned, it will completely and utterly SPOIL the
ENTIRE episode for you.
Sheridan instructs Ivanova to set up a private meeting with the newly
promoted Lt. Corwin to discovered whether he can help their cause.
Corwin misinterprets her intentions, believing Ivanova is asking him out
on a date. When the two finally meet, Ivanova discovers Corwin would
not be an ally of the Rangers because of his claim that he would not act
against any orders sent by Earthdome.
Marcus gets word form one of his informants that the Rangers should
go on a heightened state of alert and pull back from Earth space due to
a gathering of Shadow vessels on the edge of Centauri space. Marcus
guives instructions to drop a long-ranger scanner in the area of the
build-up. Meanwhile, Dr. Franklin is baffled upon the discovery of
several people who have died as the result of a small, unknown alien
parasite which lodges itself onto the spinal cord of its victims.
When Samuel (Eric Steinberg) and Duncan (Aubrey Morris), several of
Marcus's liaisons, disappeared, Franklin and Marcus go to their
downbelow quarters to investigate. They are surprised to find several
lurkers, including Samuel and Duncan, armed and an unconscious man on
the floor. Being held captive for their accidental discovery, Franklin
and Marcus learn that the parasite is a way of serving a race known as
the Vindrizi, and by voluntarily accepting the parasite, the person is
actually merging with their race. For some, like Duncan, it improves
their health; however, for those whose bodies reject it, it's lethal.
The Bindrizi seek out those who have nothing to look forward to,
namely Lurkers, and give them the gift of life. By accepting the
parasite, their host bodies are instilled with vast memories of all that
has been seen and touched. Their mission is to preserve all of these
memories until the inevitable day when all life and knowledge falls into
a new dark age, then all will turn to them and they will be keepers of
the past.
After Marcus confesses his fondness for Ivanova to Franklin, Samuel
and Duncan take Franklin to a room where a lurker is ill with the
parasite in his spine. Franklin is ordered to heal him, but he claims
he cannot without the proper medical equipment. Left alone and fearing
danger, Marcus convinces one of his capturers that his pike is actually
a medical scanner which might be useful to Franklin. When he talks his
capturer into looking through the pike, the man unknowingly arms it and
knocks himself out. Then Marcus signals Garibaldi in Franklin's link,
and Garibaldi sends several guards to their aid. Marcus then finds his
way into the room where Franklin is being held, and together they subdue
their capturers.
Seeing no other choice and knowing it can never be reattached, Duncan
pulls out the parasite as a show of loyalty, and to convince Franklin in
his belief in the Vindrizi cause. A convinced Franklin ultimately
accepts the methods and principles employed by the Vindrizi, and
promises to keep them secret, but only under his direct supervision.
Relegated back to what he believe to be his life without purpose, Duncan
leaves Babylon 5.
Also starring James Warwick as Matthew Duffin, Wiley Small as Jacque
Lee, Kathryn Cressida as Kat, Carrie Dobro as Dr. Harrison and Roger
Rook as Lurker.

Be VERY cautious - reading the following will spoil the ENTIRE EPISODE
for you. This is Warner Bros.' official press release sent to PTEN
affiliate stations.
Senate hearing continue on Earth investigating claims that President
Clark faked an illness which prevented him from boarding Earthforce One
when it exploded, killing President Santiago. Representatives from
Clark dismiss the allegations as attempts to destabilize the government.
Marcus rescues Dr. Mary Kirkish (Nancy Stafford) from a group of
assailants attempting to subdue her. Regaining consciousness, Dr.
Kirkish explains to Sheridan, Ivaniva, Delenn, Marcus, Franklin, Lennier
and Garibaldi that her life is in danger because of information she
knows. While stationed on Mars conducting an archaeological dig, she
discovered a Shadow ship buried 300 feet below the surface, and
witnessed one of the workers die instantly after touching the ship with
his bare hand. Following orders to stop digging, Dr. Kirkish recalls
the arrival of a second Shadow ship, which had come to dig out the
discovered vessel. Threatened by Earth to keep the incident secret, she
and the other archaeologists were assigned by Earth to different worlds
to ensure that nobody spoke to one another. Garibaldi, who was
stationed on Mars at roughly the same time, confirms that he also
witnessed several unknown alien ships.
Recently called into a new dig because another Shadow ship was
discovered on Ganymede, Dr. Kirkish uncovers secret government plans to
