Marcus' story concludes in "Space, Time & the Incurable Romantic", a short story written by JMS and published in Amazing Stories #602. It takes place hundreds of years after the series ends. Marcus (preserved in cryogenic suspension as above) is revived when the homeworld of those who built the life-energy transfer machine was found.
