*Heading to a ceremony that will launch the new High Guard ship, Crimson Sunrise, Dylan is irritated by the pompous captain’s refusal to take precautions when five Nietzchean warships are detected in the vicinity. Soon the Sunrise ruptures in a series of explosions, and Andromeda officers have their hands full rescuing a number of life-pod survivors. Sabotage is suspected, and it’s difficult to know who to trust. A last-minute plan utilizing the abandoned life-pods fools the attacking Nietzchean fighters, enabling a stranded Dylan and Tyr to devise a daring scheme which returns them to the Maru, In the End, an analysis confirms that a comet, not sabotage, destroyed the Crimson Sunrise.
