Season 2, Episode 3: Pandemonium

by Simon-F. Laflamme

Ever since the actions of Centauri in the War of Retribution have left the Nar’Shal a barren wasteland, Ta’Ren has done everything in his power to heal his home world. The MarTar Irrigation Initiative (M.T.I.I.) is the culmination of his efforts, his legacy to his people. So when the M.T.I.I. prototype experiment on Beta Durani VII goes silent, Ta’Ren and Carlson investigate immediately. They find a city miles beneath the surface, millions of years old, at the deep end of the borehole excavated to bring water to the surface. The sprawling metropolis sits at the feet of a massive sealed gate, and its sole inhabitants are a sinister cult of Pak’ma’ra led by a human possessed by a demon of ancient Earth: the rogue Vorlon whose chariot was the Goliath, bound by his kind to human flesh as a punishment for his membership of the Hand.
