    Summary

    As Bester says, "Bey was the Corps - he represented everything good about it."

    So Director Johnston has him killed, so solidify his power as dictator (oops, director).

    For years I've known this book needs to be written, but I've been at a loss how best to do it. Some notes on my plans.

    Summary

    What's a "Type A Blip," anyway? And what happens when the Corps finds them?

    Do they really torture people?

    (The prologue of Behind the Gloves is here - please read!)

    Edit 3/3/24: New chapter added as I revisit this post and plan for a new section.

    Summary

    A post about the time that one of Bester's teachers telepathically attacked him and landed him in the infirmary - and then lied and called it an "accident."

    This story is canon - I'm explaining what was going on and why (and why his teacher was a liar).

    The prologue of Behind the Gloves is here - please read!

    3/2/24: New chapter added here and note after the first chapter. I'm revisiting old posts and adding new material.

    Summary

    This is an alternate universe Babylon 5 flight of fancy. The story uses a few bits of TV canon as touchstones, but if your imagination is chained to canon, you may not like it. I went completely off the reservation and, except for those touchstones, I literally threw canon (especially the books) in the dumpster. The relationships and conspiracies portrayed here never existed or existed in very different form in the B5 universe.

    Action takes place in Season 3 after "Ship of Tears” and prior to “Zha’ha’dum”.

    Marcus is lost in space and presumed dead. Rescue comes from an unexpected quarter. Extreme weirdness ensues.

    Summary

    Other than "fly around with Bester" doing, uh, Psi Corps stuff?

    Yes I answer the question (and it's pretty straightforward). Why didn't canon explain this? I DON'T KNOW.

    Summary

    Covering the "missing novella" between where the last section of Dark Genesis left off (the Remy Ligeau raid) and Bester's birth (about eight years). Narratively, I'm taking the walls down to the studs, rearranging the studs, and drawing up plans for a structure that can stand under its own weight.

    Read if you care about my writing process and an analysis of story narratives and character development, skip if you just want to read the final product.

    Summary

    I discuss and analyze all the Fail in how these canon books treat telepaths.

    Yeah, there's Bunny, but there's a lot more than her to discuss, too.

    Contains discussion of telepaths in canon being sold into Literal Slavery and Galen - our protagonist! - not giving a damn.

    Also the source of the joke, TeLePaThY iS LiKe BlOwInG Up GeRbILs!

    Edit: This post has obviously been hacked by kudos-bots. I've reported it to AO3.

    Summary

    Dark Genesis continues to annoy me. Today I discuss the Claude Heckman story, which I rewrote (at that link) from the Psi Cop's point of view.

    I sort of cleaned it up a little, but the story doesn't move the characters or narrative forward in any way, while more relevant or narratively connected material could have been in here instead.

    Edit: Even after all these years and having the canon text, I still messed up the order of events in canon, because IT'S JUST SO INCOHERENT I STILL GET MIXED UP. /sigh/ There isn't a year between the Heckman story and the "poisoning of Seattle" story - the latter happens one day before the former.

    Summary

    I drag and drop some RDR2 into Babylon 5 to fix a large backstory/narrative hole in the Psi Corps Trilogy.

    -----

    A novella (or novellette) covering the missing story of the Dexter Gang leading up to the disastrous "Remy Ligeau Raid" of canon, also known as OOPSIE DOOPSIE WE KIDNAPPED A FIREBENDER AND NOW EVERYONE IS HUNTING US DOWN.

    Since canon has nothing but a five-year gap setting up for the events of that raid (and its aftermath), I fill in the narrative and character gaps using inspiration from the game Red Dead Redemption 2. (No knowledge of RDR2 is necessary to understand this work - it should stand on its own if you've read Dark Genesis or my other fix-it works for Dark Genesis.)

    If you do know RDR2, you will Know What I Did Here.

    Edit: I'm extending this to cover the aftermath of the Remy Ligeau story as well, since canon dropped it.

    Rated M for violence, language and messed up dynamics between characters, not because of any sexual content. Characters are stated as being in relationships but nothing sexual is shown.

    Summary

    "Mad Marine Escapes Lab! He survives a secret government experiment that used alien tech to give him superpowers, but the alien tech slowly drives him to evil and chaos. He joins up with various bands of renegades and outlaws who are fighting the global government."

    Anybody have a better blurb for this novella? ^_^

    -----

    Stephen Walters used to know who he was. He used to know who he served. He used to know what he wanted. Now, all he wanted was to survive, and to fight another day.

    But for what? he asked himself. He had been a mercenary in the Central African Bloc, but the CAB had fallen – one small country could never take on the global EarthForce.

    What now? Was there anything worth fighting for?

    And why did he have amnesia?

    (I rework canon to give you the missing backstory of the Dexter Gang.)

    Summary

    The Corps acts as a "clearinghouse" for sending telepaths where normals want them, for purposes that normals want - and that doesn't mean "the Corps is Behind Everything" (public and shady) just because there were telepaths involved.

    An essay explaining this JMS quote from July 17, 1994:

    “About 125 years or so ago in B5’s timeline (2100-2110 and thereabouts), full-blown telepaths began to be discovered. About 2150 or so, the government agencies that regulated and oversaw telepaths were rolled over into the Psi Corps, which became a clearing house [sic] for locating, controlling, and licensing telepaths for commercial, some very restricted legal, and military purposes.”

    Summary

    How did the Corps become "Mother and Father"?

    The year is 2156. Violence against telepaths surges across Earth. Kevin Vacit, now director of Psi Corps - and himself an orphan - pulls telepath orphans together from around the world and brings them to "Teeptown" in Geneva, forming the first "cadres" of telepath children.

    But first, he must first face down the man who kidnapped him as a child... and pay a terrible price.

    This novella covers (among other things):

    * The "missing story" of the relationship between Kevin Vacit and Monkey
    * The "missing story" of the Centauri first contact (drunk Centauri!)
    * Fiona Dexter's origin story

    NEW EPILOGUE ADDED!

    Summary

    Dark Genesis doubles down hard on the falsehood that "forced breeding" is Psi Corps policy - even eighty years before the show!

    I tear this nonsense apart, again.

    Please start here if you haven't already read my debunking of this lie - I'm not going to reinvent the axle, the jet engine and the microchip.

    I'm revisiting this only because Dark Genesis goes so hard on this lie, both to create contrived danger and to prop up A Race Through Dark Places.
