Department Sigma - The Invisible Heroes of Psi Corps by pallasite

Summary
The prologue of Behind the Gloves is here - please read!
The elusive "Department Sigma" is mentioned many times in the canon books, and the results of their work (and mishaps) are mentioned several times in the show (e.g. Dust, and the Ironheart debacle). Indeed, when it comes to "secret projects" in the Corps, it seems they're behind everything. But who was "Department Sigma," and what were they really up to?
Perhaps surprisingly, they weren't the "evil" outfit the show leads you to believe. Rather, the inspiration for their work came directly from the Vorlons themselves, who took Psi Corps director Kevin Vacit, and his aide Natasha Alexander (Lyta's grandmother) onto their ship - and showed them the long, difficult path necessary for humanity to defeat the Shadows. Telepaths were at the center of the plan.
Director Johnston assassinated Natasha Alexander.
Under subterfuge, Department Sigma plowed ahead anyway, knowing nothing less was at stake than humanity itself.

Summary
Natasha Alexander, Lyta's grandmother, has been chosen by Vorlons to save the world - but there's a price to pay: We are fighting to save one another, and some must be sacrificed, if all are to be saved.
This is the chapter that explains it all. (The overview of the story line about Department Sigma can be found here, with spoilers.)

[Edit 12/16/24: Canon tells this story from Kevin's POV. I tell it here from Natasha's POV and add more material to cover later events. The original events, both in Antarctica and on Venus, are also covered in my novella here.]

Another Attempt At Fixing Kevin Vacit's Backstory by pallasite

Summary
Edit: These are just my notes and musings - the first novella covering Kevin's backstory is here, and the second novella (a work in progress) is here.
Kevin Vacit is Bester's grandfather, and director of Psi Corps for over forty-five years. His story is important because it sets up for a lot of later things in canon, but his backstory remains the Gordian Knot of canon backstory writing disasters.

Summary
“My name is Ivan Serge’evich Raskov, and I work for Interplanetary Expeditions at the headquarters in San Diego. They are trying to hire me to cover up an enormous crime and I am in terrible danger. It began a few months ago when they dug something up on Mars. Alien artifacts. I have not slept since I scanned the objects. My mind is filled with insects – I see them every time I close my eyes. I am haunted! These alien objects are very, very dangerous. But it is worse! They brought me back again the next day to monitor a transaction. The whole meeting was a lie! IPX has dangerous alien technology and they are selling it secretly to the Russians! I told them they were violating my contract with the Metasensory Regulatory Authority – that the transaction was illegal and I would not do it. They were outraged, but I left. And now I am in terrible danger.
"Please, whoever gets this message, do something quickly – they want to kill me. I cannot leave my apartment or they will kill me for sure. You must help me!”
The video went black. Kevin looked to Brenna. “Well? Did we contact Mr. Raskov?”
“We tried to… but he’s dead."

The Rise of the Black Fox, Part 3 (The Fifth Missing Novella of Dark Genesis/Psi Corps Backstory) by pallasite

Summary
A book covering the missing story of the Dexter Gang in the years leading up to the final Psi Corps raid on their base, and how Bester became the missing "baby of hope" for the Telepath Resistance.
Since canon has nothing but a seven-or so year gap between the events of the Remy Ligeau story arc (which canon never finished) and the events before Bester's birth, I fill in the narrative and character gaps using material that's mentioned but never shown/elaborated on in canon.
This includes the missing stories about:
* The undercover Psi Cop who tried to expose Rentech (the evil pharmaceutical company);
* Vacit and Natasha Alexander's quest to find the origins of telepathy (and find Vorlons);
* The Senate catching on to Vacit's support for the Underground;
* The events leading up to the Dexter RaidRated M for violence, language, off-screen abuse and messed up dynamics between characters, not because of explicit sexual content. Characters are stated as being in relationships but nothing sexual is shown. There is also a scene (from canon) where a child is rescued from sexual exploitation.
