But - Anna seems to have been involved, seriously, with IPX for some years, and as an archaeologist. If the "front" was that substantial, Franklin would have found about it. IPX having a sideline in selling bioweapons? Absolutely - that's canon, or near as damnit. But it's more than just a front for that, based on everything we see.

When does Anna actually go off with the Icarus? It's some time before Sheridan goes to B5, right? Canon timeline-wise, I think she has *already* gone on that mission, which means IPX ought to be "real" by now...
