[edit] Plot synopsis
After a short absence from Babylon 5, Michael Garibaldi returns to the station to meet with a person in his employ. An archaeologist in search of a means of immortality brings his most recent find to Babylon 5 - an orb containing one billion souls of an extinct race. Within days a Soul Hunter (played by Martin Sheen) arrives claiming the orb was stolen from his people. With the assistance of the archaeologist the souls break free from their captivity in the orb and bring havoc to the station.
[edit] Trivia
- When the Holobrothel malfunctions due to the souls, one of the security officer sees a ghostly image of a woman crying for her children before jumping at and through the security officer; this is similar to La Llorona (the sobbing woman), a Spanish legend of a woman who drowned her kids in a lake, only to come back after death asking where her children went.
