Synopisis

The Andromeda has been heavily damaged in fighting with the Magog who have taken Tyr and Harper back to the worldship and infested them. Now Dylan & Rommie must go and find their crew while Rev meets the leader of the Magog.

Continuity

• More evidence of Nietzschean superiority when Tyr is able to survive the operation to remove the larvae but only barely, a similar procedure will kill Harper.
• Harper is now infested like his two cousins on Earth, Siobhan and Declan.
