It originally aired on November 30, 1994, in the United States. The DVD brochure included with season two teases the episode by saying "A drifting, century-old spacecraft carries a crewperson (Anne-Marie Johnson) in hybernetic sleep. And something else: a phantom-like spaceling that a self-styled prophet (Dwight Schultz) calls a Soldier of Darkness."[1] SynopsisBabylon 5 discovers a century-old human spacecraft, the Copernicus nearing the station and brings it aboard. Within are two cryonic chambers, one with a dead man, his face in shock, and the other with a still-living woman. She is rushed to medlab to be revived, and Dr. Franklin learns she is Mariah Cirrus, the dead man her husband, and they had been part of a commercial space exploration opportunity, with the Copernicus designed to home in on any signal. Dr. Franklin finds Mariah's husband's body to be missing all its organs, and Ivanova cannot find any trace of malfunction on the capsule. Dr. Franklin helps Mariah cope with the new world she is in, and becomes closer to her. Meanwhile, a Lurker, Amis, becomes panicked when the Copernicus nears and Garibaldi is forced to lock him up for making a disturbance. He finds Amis is actually one of the Earth Alliance's ground force that had held a listening post during the Earth-Minbari war, and he was the only survivor of this base after an apparent Minbari attack. Amis claims that it was not Minbari, but something else that slaughtered his comrades and kept him alive to feed on, until he was ultimately rescued, and now that entity is on the station. Relaying this story to Sheridan and Ivanova, Ivanova affirms that the Copernicus had passed near the listening post planet. When an alien is found dead and its organs absent, they agree that they are dealing with the same entity which likely boarded the Copernicus, fed off Mariah's husband, and then had begun feeding on Mariah before the ship passed near Babylon 5. Amis is able to sense the being's presence and goes off after it before Garibaldi can stop him. Garibaldi enlists Mariah's help, as she has had nightmares about the creature and can also sense it. Garibaldi and security teams are able to isolate the creature and stop it before it consumes Amis, ultimately killing it. Amis thanks Garibaldi for his help, and while Dr. Franklin offers Mariah living space on Babylon 5, she decides she wants to return to Earth for some time. Ivanova with further review of the records discovers confirming evidence the creature had come aboard the Copernicus near the listening post, and that it had changed the ship's course to Z'ha'dum but apparently did not know about the ship's programming which altered course when it detected Babylon 5 station signal. In the final scene, Narn Ambassador G'Kar, who had previously warned of a returning ancient enemy, is seen looking at an image of that enemy in the Book of G'Quan - an image that resembles the creature from the Copernicus.
