Season 1, Episode 3: From the Shadows of the Past

By Jean-Philippe Viau.

The Goliath 2 investigates the destruction of a narn cruiser in uncharted space. Meanwhile, the Drazi ambassador threatens to boycott Martar enterprises if the company does not compensate for the technology lost in a mining shipment. The crew of the Goliath is subsequently targeted by thugs, apparently hired by a rival company. Carlson, Ta'Ren and Enoch enlist the help of Jonathan Desloisiers, an eminent archeologist, to investigate the shadow ruins they found near the wreck of the narn ship. Desloisiers is a gambler and one of the prime IPX researchers during the Ganymede encoutner and posseses an invaluable collection of ancient artifacts. On their way to this destination, Enoch confronts Ta'Ren with his true mission: rid the galaxy of the Vorlons and Shadows legacies. He considers Desloisiers's dangerous and wishes Ta'Ren to annex his company, so they can restrain access to his private collection. To do so, they trick him into a stacked game of poker, which they win. Upon arrival, the five found all trace of shadow presence has been eradicated during their absence and come under attack bya shadow tech upgraded drazi sunhawk, made from the components stolen from Ta'Ren's shipping.
