A war veteran claims that a Soldier of Darkness has arrived aboard a hundred year old ship. When people begin to die strange deaths, the station's crew begins to take his ramblings seriously.

[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot, character development, or ending details follow.

A sublight spacecraft carrying cryogenically frozen humans is discovered adrift in B5's vicinity. The ship is secured and one of its occupants is found to have been killed during the vessel's flight, which began from Earth over a century before.

The surviving crew member - and wife of the deceased - has no memory of what happened to her husband. Her arrival coincides with a series of grisly murders and the emergence of a lurker named Amis who warns that there's another passenger, an unwelcome one, on the sleeper ship. (Attrib: B5 LogBook [1])
