*Friendships are tested as Beka puts her feelings for a past love ahead of the safety of the crew. While on planet Veras to testify for Able Ladrone, who is accused if stealing DNA, Bake finds her efforts frustrated and eventually escaped with Able on the Maru. Now Dylan faces a dicey political situation, as Veras is part of Technocore – a small system of companies manufacturing weapons and defense systems. As the Andromeda crew tries to fathom Abel’s puzzling motives, Harper deceives attacking Technocore fighters with “phantom” cloaked ships created by a plasma cannon. Also faked is Dylan’s killing of Abel, whose secrets ultimately provide the Commonwealth with vital information.
