May 19, 2018 · release a virus that will make all telepaths dependent on injections. He then tells Garibaldi that he can't leave the compound for a few days until the plan is done. Literally the next scene, with no explanation we see that Garibaldi has left the compound!?! This seems really strange given: How rich Edgars is; How paranoid Edgars is

The Drakh plague is the name given to a bio-genetic nano-virus actually developed by the Shadows and inherited by their Drakh servants when they and the other First Ones left the galaxy in 2261, following the Battle of Coriana VI.
The nano-virus works by intelligently adapting itself to the species that it has infected. After that it is simply a matter of time before it finds the right trigger to kill the entire species outright.
Around the time of the First Shadow War, the Shadows attacked another unnamed planet when they refused to allow a base to be built on their world. The people of this planet studied the plague virus for three years before deciding to put their entire race into suspended animation. One person was brought out of suspended animation to take care of the machines and continue the tests on the aliens. 500 people had died in that service by 2267.
In December 2266, at the onset of the Drakh War, Earth was infected with the same strain of the plague by the Drakh in an act of spite after their attempt to destroy the planet with a Death Cloud was thwarted. The Drakh had originally intended to use the plague on Minbar after deploying the Death Cloud against Earth.
The crew of the Excalibur discovered a nano-virus created by a techno-mage on an unnamed planet. Dr. Sarah Chambers was able to reverse engineer this nano-virus and create a way to temporarily block the similarly designed Drakh plague from infecting a person for up to 48 hours. This technique to temporarily block infection by the Drakh plague is later used on Theta 49 and is briefly mentioned at the Plague Eradication Management Strategies Mars Conference on Mars.
Earth was placed under a quarantine for several years before a cure was finally discovered and by 2271, the plague had been completely eradicated. Following the plague, Earth Alliance officials continued some of the quarantine policies that had been enacted, fearing another such biological disaster would be visited upon Earth if they did not carefully scrutinize individuals visiting Earth.
•According to JMS, the Drakh plague would have been cured at some point, perhaps midway through Crusade's second season.

It would have to do for science fiction television what Hill Street Blues had done for police dramas, by taking an adult ...
