Story: Patterns of the Soul
Written By: Fiona Avery
Season: Crusade
The Excalibur is sent to a colony of Earth Refugees who left the planet about the same time that the plague was sent to the planet, so they could possibly be infected and spreading the plague. The colony is made up of a small group who are very resistant to EarthForce, and since the General who is ordering Gideon to do this seems like a prick, it is pretty obvious that the General and EarthForce are up to something dubious.

While on the planet testing the colonists Dureena finds a tribe of her own people, the only other tribe of her people that she knows about. Unfortunately, not only are the humans infected, but they’ve spread the plague to them as well, and now they are dying off too. Oh and apparently the virus spreads faster in her people than in humans. So time is not on their side at this point.
It is also discovered that the colonists were free of the plague when they left Earth, but were infected by contaminated food supply that the General made sure they picked up when getting supplies. I guess he was in charge of the program they were in, where they were experimented on to become cyborgs…and when they escaped, he wanted to save face and made sure they got infected.
As it is an episode that focuses on the plague and whatnot, I found it to be entertaining, as the show is at it’s best when it just focuses on the premise of the series. Dureena gets some moments and Dr. Chambers didn’t seem nearly as flat as she often does, so I'll call it a solid episode in an average series.
