Complete story — includes the ending

When Beka and a couple of lancers visit a remote colony. Contact is lost so Dylan and Trance head down to help. Beka finds no sign of settlers and soon it is obvious why; the planet is crawling with Magog. The lancers are lost but Dylan manages to rescue Beka, just in time to see a massive Magog ship arrive. Rommie sees it and orders Andromeda into the slipstream. Dylan is rather surprised but hides the Eureka Maru in an asteroid field until Rhade returns in a slip-fighter to guide them back. Their problems are far from over though; Andromeda has determined that Rommie, her autonomous avatar, is becoming too emotional so disconnected her from the system before running a complete scan of the ship's systems. While this is going on Andromeda refuses all orders; this makes it hard for those on the Maru to get back aboard and once they do get back they have to figure a way to fight off the Magog when they inevitably arrive.
