The story is interesting. I'm looking forward to see where you take it.
Another idea about why he doesn't have a cyber-eye is that he wanted the volume for other uses - maybe even removed the eye deliberately to place something else there. Oh, and how do they know he doesn't have some kind of implant behind the patch? Technomages never seemed like people who cared about maintaining their appearance, so the eyepatch might be to spare other people whatever was build in the socket. For that matter, there are people wearing eye patches that have two good eyes.
It's no big, but I think both of them are overreacting to what might be fashion sense or an attempt by techno-mages to be somewhat more individual.
Comments from author:
I believe canon told us that each techno-mage could only have a certain amount of implants with which to do 'magic' (something to do with their physical limits as I recall). I doubt a Techno-Mage would give up an implant for a cyber-eye when that implant could do other more 'magical' stuff.
This is interesting. I hope you continue it. I wouldn't think it would take too long for them to suspect faith and Xander aren't mages. Galen can do things for them awhile but still, those folks on B5 are sharp. I like the idea of switching the names. Seemed odd at first but I can see Galen's point. Plus they will be busted the moment G'Kar shows up, which he does from time to time during this time frame

Yeah, neither Faith nor Xander particularly fit the technomage model.

You write excellent dialog between characters and they are well developed.
I have a problem with all the back story. In my opinion finding out what is going on and why with the main characters would make the story flow better.
Of course you do have to write where and how the muse takes you.

Yeah, sometimes I can be clumsy when setting a story's scene, I have the same problem when writing descriptive scenes unfortunately.
Thanks for your comments!

I expect the Dilgar will awaken something so horrible, that they would want the death and destruction to just stop. Sure, they want to see the end of most life in the galaxy, but they want to do it themselves. Same with the Drakh.
I'm glad you chose a time after the Shadows and Vorlons left; it leaves the story open.
Does Crusade happen in your story?

This story is set just before Crusade would happen in this verse.
