“Deep Midnight’s Voice” is episode eighteen of season three of Andromeda.
The Andromeda Ascendant is escorting a Commonwealth convoy when they witness a battle between the Nietzschean Drago-Kazov pride and other Nietzschean forces.
When they rescue one of the fighters being attacked, the pilot says that the Dragons were after a Nietzschean probe called Deep Midnight’s Voice.
Shortly before the fall of the Systems Commonwealth, the Nietzscheans had set up a programme to map the entire slipstream in the Local Group and beyond. This would be very valuable. When Rommie determines the probable location of the probe, the Andromeda sets off to it.
The probe has crashed on a ‘primitive’ human society – about equivalent to our present level – which means that subterfuge is required to avoid a First Contact situation.
Tyr is probably plotting something to do with his son.
Christopher Heyerdahl, who has a guest role in Stargate SG-1, a major role in Stargate: Atlantis and a major role in Sanctuary, guest stars.
