Attempting to deliver medical supplies the crew finds themselves battling the Drago-Kazov pride.

Has Tyr ever told Dylan that he has the Neitzian's greatest relic on board?

Not yet. Even though Dylan and Beka suspect that he is hiding something from them.

I don't remember Tyr taking the Progenitor's coffin on board. Didn't he hide it in a cave on some planet somewhere?

We open with the Andromeda leading a group of relief ships to a planet suffering from a plague in which 95% of the population is about to wiped out. The convoy is delivering needed medical supplies which will take them through Dragon-Kazov territory. As they come out of slip stream they notice that one of the ships is not with the convoy. Leaving Harper in command Beka takes the Eureka Maru to find the missing ship. Meanwhile Dylan and Tyr attempt to destroy a Kazov base so the convoy can space through the sector unhindered.
Beka fights three Kazov ships destroying two disabling one. The pilot of the third ship contacts her and Beka finds the woman bears a striking resemblance to her. Also that the woman is inferitle and serves as a combat pilot to bring glory to her family. Evidently her birth was a disgrace to her family.
On the planet Dylan discovers that Tyr stole the progenitor's remains from the Kazov. Needless to say Dylan was not happy. While Harper leads the convoy into Kazov space wanting to fight give the Kazov a little payback for their rulership of Earth.
Dylan and Tyr wind up turning the Kazov's defenses against their own ships. While Beka manages to destroy the Kazov pilot much to her dismay.

A good episode much better than last week's.
--Wish they came out and that the pilot was Beka's half sister.

Merat-- Tyr hid the body in a cave during the episode but at the end he put the body on the Maru as he left the planet.

Why leave Harper in command of the Andromeda? Beka is a better pilot & a better decision maker--she should be the one looking after the 22 ships & the only High guard warship left in the Universe (so far as wee know).

It isn't as though Beka is the only one who can pilot the Maru.

At this point, there are only three people on board who can navigate the slipstream, and Trance's experiences haven't exactly been stellar. So that means either Harper pilots the Andromeda and Beka pilots the Maru or vice-versa. Beka has a better chance of survival in the Maru than Harper does.

(Of course, someone from one of the other 21 ships could have been brought over, but that would mean exposing their severe lack of manpower, not something that can be expected to inspire confidence in a convoy of mainly unarmed ships about to cross hostile territory.)

So far it appears that the only Nietchzean that
Dylan can trust is the one who helped his fiancee
try to free the Andromeda from the black hole.

If I were Dylan I would sleep with my force lance
under my pillow when Tyr's around.I don't trust
Tyr at the moment.If he would hold out on telling
Dylan and the others about having the Progenitor's
remains on board Andromeda,what else would he be
withholding?In other words I really think Try has
got to reearn the trust of Dylan and the others.

I don't think Tyr ever had the full trust of the crew. That's part of what makes it interesting having him along--Becka has pretty much bought into the Commonwealth idea & Harper seems to, but Tyr has his own motives & everyone has known that from the start. The odd sort-of friendships he has with the others surprise him, I think--he's not supposed to _like_ non-Nietchean people.

And he & Dylan have been mutually wary from the beginning.

Looks like Trance has an agenda of her own as well, but we don't really have much idea what it is (not to be bored?).

Tyr can hardly be faulted for keeping secrets. Wasn't Dylan building another nova bomb in Machine Bay 5 or something just a few episodes ago? Makes the Progenitor's remains small potatoes.

Ooooookaaaaaay. 2 guys standing in the open wipe out a bunch of bunch of guys who appear to be wearing some kind of body armor. Yeahhhhhhhh, riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Personally, I thought it was a tactically poor decision of Dylan's to ask Tyr while they were still inside the Neitzchean base. The Fleet Commander was counting on Dylan to ask & hopefully distract and/or divide them.

So why would the Neitzcheans need the Progenitor's original body? Couldn't they make records of what the DNA was like & make comparisons with those?

Also why wait for the Pregenitor to be reborn? Why not just manipulate some genes to create a new copy?

Another tactically poor decision on Dylan's part. the orbital station only fires when Dylan pushes a button. Therefore killing Dylan = no more missiles.
A better plan would be to have the station fire every so often, but that Dylan could push a button to delay the next launch (like hitting the snooze alarm.)

I've never been too sure about the whole remains-of-the-progenitor bit. On the one hand, it's made for a great ongoing-plot.

On the other, the N's strike me as a fundamentally practical bunch and lugging around a bunch of old bones for several generations is anything but.

Another tactically poor decision on Dylan's part. the orbital station only fires when Dylan pushes a button. Therefore killing Dylan = no more missiles.

I think it's possible that he had some kind of dead man's switch implemented in his little keyboard too.

Possible, but why not say so?
Why would the Nietzchian assume Dylan did have such a back-up?

Nietzscheans are clever. J

And the main guy certainly didn't want to be shot by Tyr.
