Captain Lochley now has solid proof that Garibaldi is a disaster magnet: when he comes to the station to meet with one of his new company's subordinates, she's being sued by the owner of an illegal virtual reality "holo-brothel" and besieged by Soul Hunters looking for one of their soul vessels, this one containing the souls of the long-lost Ralga alien species. An archaeologist brought his most recent find to Babylon 5: an orb containing one billion souls of an extinct race. When a Soul Hunter arrives to recover the souls, they escape and wreak havoc throughout the station, leaving Lochley, Zach, and Garibaldi to save the station.

Twenty years after his death and resurrection at Z'ha'dum, and the end of the Shadow War, Sheridan feels his life force ebbing away and invites some old friends to gather for a final time.
