Episode Summary

The Andromeda crew visits GS92196, a guard station near the Magog-infested Dihedra system, hoping for resources. They find it inhabited by young survivors, descendants of the original crew, who defend against constant Magog and Nietzschean threats. Misunderstanding their legacy, the children believe in a prophesied "Day of Lightning," a concept misunderstood from their sacred scripture. The crew discovers the station harbors devastating Nova Bombs. Two children, considering themselves holy warriors, use these to attack the Dihedra system, destroying it. This tragedy forces Captain Hunt and his crew to confront the ethical implications of their intervention and the challenge of educating these young survivors about peace, the true nature of the Commonwealth, and the dangers of misinterpreted legacy.
