THE HONEY OFFERING
Two rival Nietzchien colonies have been at war for centuries. Dylan agrees to ferry a female Nietzchien to the opposing colony to marry, therefore ending the battles for good.
The woman arrives on Andromeda and manages to offend every one of the crew. Harper, however, still manages to have a crush on her.
The Andromeda becomes under attack by people bent on stopping the wedding so Dylan takes the Nietzchien on the Maru and leave undetected, leading their attackers to believe that the bride is still onboard the Andromeda.
However, all is not as it seems. (Is it ever?) The bitchy bride turns out to be a mercenary and is planning to destroy her husband-to-be (And herself) with a hand held bomb.
Dylan tumbles her game and tries to talk her out of it.
Meanwhile, the ships attacking Andromeda are still behind them. Harper notices that the messages they are receiving are all the same. Beka thinks he’s on to something and sure enough, the messages turn out to be fakes, recorded earlier one after another. The ships are just drones. Which leads to the question - where are the real ships?
Meanwhile, Dylan has failed to talk the Nietzchien out of what she plans to do. Then for some reason (I blinked and missed it) Dylan sleeps with her. After this she changes her mind and decides to give her marriage a go. Weird.

Review
Some Nietzcien war that I
didn’t really understand leaves Dylan agreeing to ferry a Nietzchien bride to
her wedding. She insults the whole crew and Tyr lets her think that it’s his
ship. Harper has a crush on her, despite the fact that she called him a scrawny
weed (In so many terms) but then again, she’s a woman and that’s reason
enough to fancy someone in his opinion.
The actress playing the
bride-to-be is a good Nietzchien. She’s basically a bitch, which is what Nietzchiens
seem to be - both women and men.
I can’t believe Dylan would
sleep with her though. It was like ‘Huh? Did I miss something?’. And
straight after that she decides to give her marriage a go? I don’t buy it.
Besides, it wasn’t very romantic was it?
There were some good space
battles, and the fleet of ships attacking Andromeda being a fake was
unanticipated - and therefore good!
