*hand waves back* Perhaps it was all hidden away in those musty dusty scrolls of Valen that they are always finding things in (like the video of Babylon 4 being stolen, and the evidence that Delenn is a child o'Valen...)

Maybe The Vorlons were deliberately cryptic and then got busy and forgot to intervene in the Earth-Minbari War until, whoops, they were almost out of humans. Then the Naranek brothers told D&D, which netted them Sinclair for testing. After the war, the Council had scores of Temple librarians go thru the scrolls to find Valen's hints at important ape descendants who would show up eventually. To shore up their story...this isn't working, is it? Sigh.

As for Catherine, Sinclair and Garibaldi meet once a week at Earhart's to hang out, and guys really, really do discuss these things. The trust thing is just Sinclair. He's like that with people; jumping to conclusions, going on gut instinct (I'm making all this up, you do realize that?) Although I think he does have good instincts actually. Two years is a long time, on an intense project like that. You could get pretty close.
