Complete story — includes the ending
When Andromeda comes across two relatively primitive ships that appear to have fought till they exhausted fuel and weapons both are brought on board in separate hangars. Each has one person on board who explains that they are on either side of a planetary civil war that has gone on for generations. Of course, each side blames the other. General Lach, of the northern race, accuses the southerners of unleashing biological weapons that have infected most of the North while Southerner Zara claims the North attacked the peace-loving South while denying the use of such weapons. An attempt to get them to talk goes horrible wrong when Lach bites Dylan, infecting him with the disease. It acts faster on him because he is a heavy-worlder. In an attempt to find a cure Rhade accompanies Lach to the northern settlement while Beka and Harper go with Zara to the southern encampment; before they can get the data that might help things go wrong and it looks as though they will be caught up in a major battle.
