*ALL FLEETS..ALL HANDS...PREPARE FOR EXITING SUPERWARP*

*The Phoneix transshipping the whole WAN fleets within the dimentional cone, that has widened as it comes closer to the breach*

Preparing for Regular WARP drive. Transport cone ending in 3.......2.......1......Warp 15...Transport cone shutdown...

Marines.....launch your attach shuttles immediately...

Mons.....reset the Bozoblaster for offinsive lensing...Launch all attach fighters

Phoneix, reconfigure for full combat...commence firing at will

Droids...have you replaced those fuses yet.....WHAT...what do you mean by saying you are in the middle of a game of chess, and will get to it eventually...Droids follow your orders

Phoneix, if you have a minute, check into the problem with the droids

Spy Command is ready for warp, Dingo.  I reprogramed the Droids and they are all ready for launch.  They won't be playing chess any more!!

So a WAAAAy WEEEE Gooooo!

Thanks Snazee

The Phoneix confirms they are no longer playing chess.  What are they doing, are they replacing the blown fuses???

*No.  They are playing....hopscotch, as programmed*

Snazee can you check that programming...something is befuddling those droids

Droid 00000...e...ec...echh (throws up back up)...Gremli... ...needs...prog...

WAN Fleet Attack.

Termina wishes she could cry. But it'd just evaporate in the heat of the star. Laugi wishes he could cry. But his eyes are unresponsive, his entire body shattered and slowly rehealing due to the dampners.

Power surge on the WAN.

He walked along the halls, nearly alone, darkness, total darkness enveloping the area where his foot pushed off the ground. Making a deliberate turn, he enters the engineering section of the craft. Eyeing the flashing lights and panels, he examines the huge components around him. Warp coils, anti-matter containment discs, and...
Chasi Dampners... mmmm...

The robots are thrown from their work on the Dampners by a sudden explosion, torn to shreds as their own metallic hides shear off and stab at their electrical components. The causer of all of this chaos eyes his prize. Reaching out his hands, he touches the dampners. Terribly hot. They'd burn him if he wasn't, well, him. Wrapping his bony fingers about the coils, he pulls with his terrible might. The coil ripps from the metallic sheath it is in. Spinning around and releasing the huge coil with his entire force, it smashes through the rest of the dampners, and plows through the protective shielding of the warp drive coils. Soon the area would be basked in a radioactive glow.
Perfect.
Hearing footsteps tearing down the hallways nearby, he survey's his art work one last time, and disappears.

Laugi struggles to raise himself slowly, pushing against the asteroid he's landed on. The push however does not right him. It meerly pushes him off the asteroid, with no way to orient himself. Termina's painful screams can still be heard.

*Several emergancy lights flash on...The Phoneix, in her electronic self smiles.........hehehehehe I knew I was too much of a juicy target for "IT"

A massive dimentional barier instantly surrounds the Phoneix...Anti Chasi radiation floods the ship...

"IT" screams in extreame pain.....energy it has hoarded during his containment drain....he is converted...no longer a god...he has become that which he feared the most....he has become a "BOZO" stuck inside the one place a Bozo never wanted to be trapped.  Inside the Phoneix...

Admiral I have a BOZO trapped inside of the Phoneix....we are stuck inside a dimentional bubble.......  We will deal with "IT", my sensors detect large formations of Berzerkers starting their run on the Phoneix...It is up to you and the rest of the fleet to deal with...our hands are full.......Be informed we also have "Gremlins" on board

(Wave after wave of Berserkers leave the dimensional cell from which they were confined. They have no chasi in them, no organics, only pure cold steel. They move with undying hatred of organics. There original programming overriding Nems servant code, they want only to destroy the living and create the dead.
They detect the WAN fleet moving, there orders are to scatter, the farther the better. Never again will they be confined to emptiness of that cell dimension.
A few Berserkers prepare to delay the WAN fleet but only delay, for a real engagement is yet to occur and when it does, they will be powered by "It". A being they deem needed of there touch, a touch to destroy the organic caring mind that "It" possess, once that is gone. True power will be theres.)

(The WAN V moves in to intercept the berserker asteroid ships heading towards the pheonix. Two more carriers phase out of existence but the fleet is still there. They begin launching fighters)

Dingo, we are approaching the Berserker ships now. Launch the anchors. I don't know how long the minions will be able to stay though we've lost 20 carriers now to out-phasing.

Illiminate the berserkeres immediatly WAN Fleet.  Fire.



O I love battle.  Dingo deal with the being with deep care.  

Admiral out.

Labatt, Ummmm the Phoneix has me locked up on the Bridge...she will not let me hunt it down, but is being very specific that she will deal with "IT" personnally.  I do have control of the main guns as they are outside the barrier, but I am unable to move the ship.  Unable to leave this containment area, and nobody is allowed to enter it.  So it is just Snazee and I abourd with "IT"  I hope she brought a deck of cards.

Commencing firing of main guns.....

5 Berzerker ships became instant gas

"Sog... this should have been anticipated..."
He attempts to disperse himself again, but finds himself locked in place. Not only is he now normal, he's trapped too.
"Well... always carry a backup..."
Pulling a string on his vest, a megaton Chasi warhead goes off in the engineering room of the WAN. He is not only blown to bits, but revitalized by the Chasi. But his power is weak, and must go back into dormancy. Let them struggle with their lack of an engineering room, there lack of warp drives, dampners, and... a TARDIS.

*Damm.  Phoneix, bring up the backups......dumping anti-chasi throughout the ship again.....Stripping "IT" of all of it's recharge.  Isolate sector 47 A-KK.  That effectively seals "IT" into part of the ship. So "IT" can not do any more damage.  Trapped in a destroyed section of the ship.

Initiate sector ejection section 47.  Seal with pure neutronium, and lets start attaching Chasi dampers, and anti chasi flooders on the outside.  Then seal those into pure neutronium, and institute the inner sector bypasses.

*A square mile of the ship is ejected from the Phoneix.  Remotes on tethers, start hooking up the new equipment in "IT" permanat prison

Dingo, I just happen to have a deck of cards with me!! Do you play gin rummy or go fish????

I did reprogram the droids and the debugged the program so they will esssentially do what you want them to do!!

Did you by any chance bring any beverages aboard the Phoneix???

(The Berserkers break away, dissapering into sub-space. There objective complete. A small probe floats with the debris. It sends out a phychic emmination so strong that the Pheonix screams in pain for a brief second as "It" recieves a message in "It"'s mind. The words,"No chasi" repeats over and over again in "It"s' mind untill the probe explodes in a brief flash of stifled flame)

Dingo, preparing to chase the Berserkers.

(The WAN V enters subspace after the Berserkers.

A large wave of energy appears out of nowhere and strikes the Pheonix, the chasi dampeners are detecting a anomaly forming near "It"'s cell, an anomaly changing the composition of Chasi allowing it to pass by the dampeners)

Helmsman full thruster reverse, go to warp and head to "IT" immediatly."  


(USS Alantra heads there at maximum speeds)

Rest of the Fleet continue bombardment of the berserkers.

(Chases after the Berserkers in sub-space but the Berserkers have begun to learn. The Berserkers launch sub-space distorters causing Nem to drop out of sub-space and enter warp but it becomes appearnt warp can't keep up with sub-space)

Dingo, the Berserkers have begun deploying sub-space distorters. Change any sub-space drives you may have to frequincy 334.67 tri seven.

(Reenters subspace after alteration and tries to catch up with the now escaped Berserkers)

Nemisis, I will try, we have the backup dampers up and running, but the Warp drives are still down.  I note the "Cell" and am deploying one of the portable black holes next to it, so all of that energy is recharging it.  I have "IT" contained in that cube floating just off the port side.  It is booby-trapped so that if those bezerkers show up and attempt to free it, they will be in for a very nasty surprise.

Snazee, there is a fully stocked mini-Pete's place next to the briefing room.  Franchizes are so nice  :-)

Gin Rummy it will be..but I do not trust the droids, so the Phoneix is making the repairs herslf as well as finishing up the containment cell.  I would like to get "IT" far away from here, so I can bring down this dimentional barrier.  We need someone to retreive both Termina, and Laugi, and see if we can end their little civil war, so it does not break out again.  If ordered, we can bring them in here and de-godify them and make them mortal, but they are friends of the WAN

He wakes up. He didn't know why he did, but he did. Had he ever really slept? He had to find a way to recharge himself. There must be a way. He could not stay around here any longer here, stripped of his power, delayed from his objective.
Portable black hole? Why hadn't he thought of that? How convienent.
Ahh, and Berserkers. Subspace distortions... hmmm just what he needed. Good ideas. No chasi... He smiled widely.

He was a berserker. He watched as his own "kind" swarmed past him, littering the areas behind them with subspace distortions. He left the pack, jumping as close as he could to the Pheonix and the black hole. Plunging into the black hole, releasing as many distortions as he could, he would've smiled if he had had a mouth. Then nothingness...

He was himself, or his manifestation thereof, again. But not for long. The black hole had expanded, and he and his cell were already passing the event horizon. The tidal forces were amazing. Finally he was through. The singularity was approaching, and then...
Nothingness. Sweet, nothingness.

*Termina? Termina? TERMINA?!*
*What's wrong... angry because... it wasn't you... that killed me?*
*You're not going to die. You can't die.*
*Everything dies.*
*Not us. Not Schvundza.*
*You act as if... immortality is a... good thing. Well you're wrong. Dead wrong... heh pun...*
*I can save you!*
*I'm already dead! I've been dead since... since I was born!*
*If we're immortal why do we fight.*
*To see whose the least immortal.*
*Then why do mortals fight?*
*To see whose the most mortal.*
*What makes mortality so special?*
*They don't have to be us.*

Ummmm Labatt, I need to report a minor problem.  "IT"'s cage has acidently crossed the event horizan of my mini black hole....It looks like we have "Schvundza" permanantly contained as in out "time and space" he has frozen itself into our time, though time will pass for him like normal.  Can we do anything to recover Termina and Laugi????

I and Snazeeam still stuck in this dimentional bubble until the Phoneix can finish repairing the ship...And she can play Gin...I wonder since she is the Spy commander if she is using any of her gadgits to read my cards???

We can do something about laugi, but it aint gonna b pretty.

Ya we have to go in there ourselves and get them out.

Any volunteers?  LOL, nah I will go.  

Fleet keep at the berserkers.  Wathc over "IT" .

Alantra and Pheonix will go in.  

Make preperations for Sub space travel

Labatt out.

Now Dingo, what kind of card player do you think I am??? Of course I don't have any spy gadgets watching your cards ( WINK WINK)  I play by the rules!!! (sometimes, you never canfully trust us spy kind!!)

I will set a panel of "eyes" on  "IT", and we can watch "IT" from the main console of the Phoneix!!  Hopefully we can get out of this warp we are in,  I really need to get back to head quarters, my crew is awaiting their orders for the next mission....... Wonder if they are being good????? I hope so, sometimes when they are unsupervised they can get into all kinds of trouble!!!

(As "It" passes through the black hole, a bright illumination floods it's perceptions. The illumination then dies to bleak blackness, unnatural evil blackness that only "It" can understand as anything but darkness. A voice echos through the ever emptiness of sub-universalness. The voice says,"Welcome mine master, we have been freed. The WAN assumes we want them destroyed. Bond with us, enhance the swarm, let ours and your powers mingle into one massive flow of anti-organic chasi!!". "It" sees a darker darkness approach, it is the perversion of space-time created by the transformed Berserker control mind. The mind approaches closer)

(The WAN V gets within scanner range of the berserkers before a mass of psionic energy suddenly hits the WAN V, as the anti-distortion fields are activated the WAN V is randomized to a purely random area of space. It reaapears precariously  close to a red giant. Nem reactivates subspace drive and according to starcharts he hasn't been thrown too far away. He continues the chase)

Pheonix follow Us in .  





this is some krazy stuff.   Never been inbetween space and time b4. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz cummzzztxxxs     are brezzzzg upzzzzzzzzzz...............................

The subspace distortions of the berserkers grow stronger and larger, throwing off tracking systems and nav systems alike. Suddenly a large, black Chasi ball flies from the Berserker swarm. This renders tracking in an area much larger than the Chasi ball impossible.

*Prepare to rip this Universe apart. What if I told you that there were other organic beings, not in other dimensions such as the one you'd been contained to by the wretched demon Nemisis, but in other Universes, and by aiding me, I will take you to those other Universes, and there you can continue to follow me, until, in all of the Universes, there is no more organic life!*

(The effigy of the Berserker control mind fluctuates and then says,"Yes, we need your combined strength. We no longer can travel between dimensions. Nemisis saw to that, but with you melding with us we will be a formidable force to all dimensions".
The control mind senses the Alantra entering sub-time/space and sends out distortion riples. The Alantra takes evasive manuvers, it avoids most of them but a lucky riple hits it randomizing the Alantra deep within sub-time/space.
"Quickly master, join before the puny organics try again. We must prepare for the fight ahead against all organics", The mind begins to mingle with "It", fluctuations of energy begin to shoot through the Berserkers already terrorizing nearby planets. "It" now see's through the eyes of all Berserkers and it's will becomes the Berserkers will. They have grown strong)

(Nem catches up with the Berserker ship and begins firing upon them, he hits two of the ships. They are forced out of sub-space, Nem follows. He fires the main gun of the WAN V destroying one of the asteroid ships and then fires again critically damaging the second. Nem boards the ship with a detachment of Minion warriors. The resistance is not there, most of the ship is destroyed but Nem is here for an alternate reason. Nem plugs one of his connector wires into a port on the ship computer and immediatly begins trying to see what the Berserkers are doing. Nem can only see darkness, he knows something is taking over the systems of the Berserkers, something is fueling the eternal rage of the Berserkers and it has almost full control. Nem leaves and messages Dingo, Labatt)

There a change going on with the Berserkers, something unelectronic has gripped control of the Berserkers and oddly enough the Berserkers aren't fighting back. It has sized almost eighty percent of the Berserkers and by the time this message gets to the pheonix, it will have full control.
Orders?

(Nem fires again destroying the Berserker ship)

*Commadore, Warp drive repairs complete.  I am placing a complete dimentional barrier with Tartas controls on the Mini-blackhole.  Initiating Tartas controls on "IT's" prision.  Dstination, 1 second before the complete collape of the universe 10x97th years into the future, with an automatic self-destruct so that in the minute possibility that "IT" is freed, it will be cut off from travelling back to our time*

"IT's" prision disappears.

Shutting down dimentional barrier.

Labatt, Nemisis, standby for main gun Broadsides

*The Phoneix fires, and a blast of energy blows Labatts ship away from the distortion*

*The Phoneix fires again, Nemisis ship is surrounded by an anti-chasi energy shield, leaving the WAN V free to finish it's operation without interuption by Bezerkers*

*Commadore your orders*

Ok Phoneix...full shields

*Shields on*

Ok, I want you to position us next to Termina...Yes I do know it is diving into the heart of a sun

*Proceeding*

The Phoneix dives into the heart of the sun that Termina is.  As the Phoneix passes the corona, and stops next to Termina, massive solar flares explode from the sun.  The Phoneix's gravitational attraction is causing interesting effects.  Grappling claws snake out from the Phoneix, and gently bring Termina abourt.  She is immediately placed into a stasis field.  The Phoneix gets rocked around a lot by the flares as she pulls away from the sun.  The sun starts to Nova, but then slowly settles down into a flare star.

Admiral, I have Termina, any progress on Laugi???

Nem I  finaly got the connection established to cummunicate.  Thats good for us that the berserkers aint fighting back, just make sure u don't get caught up in what the berserkers did.  

Dingo We see laugi, he is in some sort of coma state. Good thing is that he is alive.  We are trying to get him out ASAP.  We have encountered some rather different life forms in SubSpace.  It is truly a different Universe.  My log is gonna be depleted after what I have to say about this mission.

Admiral out.

Permission to seek out the Berserkers where ever they may be?

Proceed with caution

(Shhhhhhhhh...crackle......pop...pop...)anten......ried.....m....king.......re....s...........w.......vide.....up.....or...misis    

*Massive balls of energy shoot  by Nemisis, clearing him a path*

Con.....ith....ssion...

(Crackle,Crackle....Pop....Hissssss)

(Dissaperes in a fury of distorted light)

* A huge dark hulk slowly pulls near Lbatts battle cruiser....Gravitational waves rocks his ship at it's approach.  The approaching hulk is blackish in color, with tiny little spots of silver all over it.  Labatt's battle cruiser is dwarphed by this object*

(statick....cracjle...crackle......Ar........bow............)

My ship USS Alantra is one of the largest ships in WAN Fleet and it seems to be a spec compared to this lifeform

It is blocking our path.  We are attempting to cummunicate with it.  

Admiral Out.

Labatt, this is Admiral PLC! Proceed with EXTREME caution! Recommend you deploy a probe first...

Snazee, looks like communications are out, as well as all of our sensors.  I think our diving into a star was not the brightest idea I had.  The helm is very slow to respond.  "IT" must have done more damage to our controls than originally though.  I was not expecting "IT" to unleash a Chasi bomb aboard.  And the droids still are getting bad programming.  They are now doing hopscotch and jump rope, and they were not built to handle that kind of activity.  I keep getting damage reports from the droid repair bay of broken wheels, bent axles.

Oh, by the way, I found this miniture camera trying to look at my cards.  Is it yours????

Ohh that little camera??? No, must of been on board before I got here, maybe all that gravitational pull rocked the ship enough that it rolled out from under one of the seats????(snazee's face blushes as she tries to change the subject?)

Maybe the sensors that are encased into the outside wing area are not damaged.  It they are not, we can use them to communicate with the ship that is in the was.  It's worth a try.

I programmed the last droid aboard to go and fix the axels and the rest of the ship that is damaged,  if the droid can't do it, then we are up a creek without a paddle, my friend.  At least we have booze and cards, that should pass the time by!!


By the way, it's your turn!!

Snazee, nope all the sensors are completely out.  I just hope the Phoneix has some additional sensors she has not told me about, because otherwise we are flying blind.

Ok, lets see what cards I am holding...

*Reaches down and catches another camera trying to sneek a peak at my cards"

Phoneix do me a quick favor, send out an ECM throughout this area, and fry these pesky camera's crawling around here, it is a bit distracting trying to play cards.

Oh, snazee, please take off your sunglasses, it is not that bright in here.

Oh Phoneix, any idea about the sensors and communications??

*Commadore, I have to report, that all exterior hatches are fused shut.  It is going to take a while to cut a new airlock to do repairs.  Also I did detect something shall approching our ship, it did not register a lifeform, so I zapped it, I think, All I have working right now is old  radar, and it is very unreliable, and short distance.  I use it mainly for my rare landings*

#The monstrosity lightly brushes Labatts ship, sending his ship tumbling, with damage on the port side.  The monstrosity continues alog it's path, towards WAN territory.  Labatts sensors before the "bump" give the dimentions of the monstrosity at 240 km's long, 240 km's wide, by 200km's high, composition is unknown, just very highly radioactive exotic materials.  It's density is varied.  Labatts probe is fried as it penetrates the edge of the monstrosity

We have identified some EM patterns it sends out frequently,  we believe it is how the Monstrosity cummunicates.  We are attempting to cummunicate right now.


(EM signals come from Alantra)  
It was intended to say we come in peace.

EM signals start comming from the Monstrosity.
I think it says we shouldn't be hear u ink land weapon.

Ok we havn't figured it out just yet.  We are asking it to move our of our way.

*Dive into the Monster and rip open a dimension, my many friends. Just a small rip will do. Don't worry about radiation, you are not organic. It can not harm you. Rip open a dimension.*

Meanwhile, in the Battleground system:
Laugi's body suddenly twitched. It was time to move. He had to move. There had to be a way to move himself. But... how...
The asteroid behind him exploded. He rushed forward at a great speed, directly at the star infront of him. He had to get to Termina.

*A small ECM pulse flashes in the readyroom.  several camera's drop to the floor behind Dingo, Snazee, quickly takes off her sunglasses, and rubs her eyes like something bright just flashed into them*

*Commadore, we have picked up some kind of signal from outside the ship....it is very distorted, but I think it said surrender and be boarded.  I have attempted to adjust the guns towards the sourse, but something is preventing their redeployment.  I am making progress in creating a new airlock, but it takes time to cut through 1 km of Neutronium.  I also report that the outer hull temperature is at 5000 K.  We must have absorbed a lot of thermal radiation during our diving manuveer.  I am still slowly moving us away from that star, so outside temeratures will cool down*

*Commadore, medical reports that Termina is recovering, abit slowly, I am monitoring her Chasi levels, and she is not radiating as much as normal, but it is slowly restoring to her natural levels.  I estimate that it will take 48 standard earth units before she awakens*

*The monstrosity, continues on it's slow course past the Labatts flagship.  The slight contact that occured seems to have damaged his starboard side, and engines.  He is able to manuveer, but his helm is erratic in responce*

(The berserkers comply without question and rip a small but accessable hole in dimensional space, they then wait further orders from "It")

(The WAN V blasts two more asteroid ships as he continues to try and stop the multiple invasion the berserkers are mounting on habitable worlds. But it's going slow, most of the minion ships have been thrown into sub-dimensional space due to the loss of the anchor. The smaller auxillary anchors are working but there just not strong enough for the strain. Nem moves on scanning the comm system for any evidence of Berserker attacks)

Dingo, could is be possible that we are experiencing a solar storm or maybe we have been caught in the "eye" of it and are now just being able to move of it???? This turbulence just reminds me of a storm, that would also explain the communication depletion......Just a thought........by the way, these are "reading" glasses not sunglasses!!!

Ok, they are your "reading glasses" I understand, just as long as they can not read my cards.

As for what is going outside of the ship, until we have the new airlock, we can not find out what is going on outside

The monstrosity contracts suddenly, and then explodes violently.
*Yes... YES! My GATEWAY!*

*Commadore, We have a problem.  I have sucessfully cut a new hatchway. Outside of the hatchway, it looks like we are covered in a thick layer of exotic mass.  Analisys of the material is consistant with compressed matter.  The thickness of this material is unknown.  It is highly radioactive, but our hull is capible of withstanding it.  It's density is approx 5 times that of water.  With known information, I would say the material is at least 10 kms thick, problibly thicker than that.
We still are making headway towards WAN space.  Radar indicates nothing in our path.  I have started mining operations to dig a path through this matter.*

*The mamoth monstrosity plows through an asteroid belt.  Several collisions are noticied by Labatts crew as they feel their ship being dragged behind the monstrosity by gravitational attraction*

*Commadore, Termina's vital signs show that she is coming out of the coma.  Her Chasi levels are very low, but are stable.  Due to the nature of her being, her internal organs are of unknown structure*

Dingo I think we need to monitor her more closely... I'm afraid if we don't we might loose her again.  I am going to program one of the droids to sit with her and to take her vitals every fifteen minutes....... Wonder if this material is edible????? I'm kind of hungry.... Hope we get there soon, we are running out of food and beverage!!!

Termina slowly opens her eyes. She looks around, noting the droid and the large white bed she seems to be strapped to. She tries to move, but finds the straps too difficult to break. She slumps back down, exhausted.
"Why can't I move?"
The droid reaches over and sticks her with a device. An audible beeping sound emnates from the device, and then it is pulled away. She gives the droid a soft kick in the head, causing the neck to swivel. It rushes off purposefully, making sure the room is clean.
Alone. Again. She would always be alone. At least while fighting Laugi she could feel the heat of his warm-blooded body again. Even if it did mean she had to kill him. Had he been picked up? Doubtful. He was buried under an asteroid.

Laugi hated everything. He saw how Schvundza could hate someone so fully as to want to destroy them, no matter how long it took or what he had to do to get what he wanted.
He realized how much he hated and loved everything and everyone. He wanted to kill everything, but he didn't want to hurt them. It was a cruel paradox.
Then the shock wore off. And he realized what he really had to do. He had to get Termina back and destroy Schvundza. He couldn't kill him alone. But maybe if Termina and the WAN could help.
Laugi flared with a glowing of energy, a renewed purpose in life, something to hold on to, a goal to achieve. He flew as fast as he could towards the WAN.

Snazee, do not worry about running out of food or beverages, this ship is stocked to provide provisions for 6 months....for a full complement of crew and troops.  Since most of the marines were launched, other than their walking wounded of 5000 or so, we have plenty of supplies.

Termina, glad to see you back among the living.  Sorry for the straps, I will have the medical droid remove them and transfer you out of intensive care.

If you are wondering about Laugi, last report we had was Admiral Labatt was going to attempt to rescue you, while we dived into that star to retrieve you.  We have lost communications so we do not have any resent information.  The Phoneix is working on restoring communications, but we are dealing with a few problems.  The ship is covered with a thick layer of exotic material.  Initial analisis shows that it blocks the transmission of Chasi in or out, so unfortunately the Chasi you have within yourself is all that is available for the time being.  We are underway back towards the WAN sector of space, but travel is somewhat sluggish, but our primitive radar shows no obsticals in our path.

*The monstrosity towing Labatt behind it, passes by a small moon.  As it passes, gravitational forces cause the moon to shatter into multiple pieces, stringing it out like comets, as the monstrosity exits a solar system back into deep space*

Laugi froze as he stared at all of the exotic material. He tried to ram through it.
His Chasi was blocked.
He tried to blast his way through it.
It was meerly absorbed.
Oh well, he thought, it had to happen sooner or later.
Closing his mind to the Universe, his Chasi suddenly flickers out, leaving him dead. His velocity sends him through the exotic matter, and through the hatch Dingo opened.
He flickers back to life, and stares at Dingo.
"I'm here for Termina."

Welcome aboard Laugi.  Termina is in sickbay recovering.  You may visit her, under the following conditions.
You and her will NOT turn the inside of my ship into a battlezone.

You will NOT attempt to take her from this ship, unless she asks for your assistance in departing.  She has sancuary as long as she desires, for this is a WAN ship of the line, and in accordance to intergalatic law, she is on WAN territory.

You are also stuck aboard this ship until we are able to  clear a path through this exotic material surrounding the ship.  The Phoneix is working on digging a path, but progress is slow.  We do not know how thick it is, and it's properties are unique.  We are cut off from communications by it, at least our path back to WAN primary territory is a clear path..we think.  We are moving at sub-light speed, due to until we have sensors to navigate transwarp back.  Your nemisis "IT" has been placed in a permanant prision 10x96th years into the future, trapped in the event horizan of a micro-blackhole we hope.  Check with your abilities, I think that "IT" has been manipulating you and Termina into your two's recent battle, and drawing strength from both of you.  I think this is weakening you both, and creating dimentional rifts that the WAN is combatting.

Please stay with-in the marked sections of the ship, for your own safety.  Our droids here are acting a bit funny, but they are only doing harmless destruction to themselves, almost like we have Gremlin's aboard.

Laugi reaches over to a droid, punctures the hard steel, and pulls out a small, slightly slimy creatures with large ears and large teeth.
"Gremlin. The ship is probably infested with them. Are you sure he's trapped in the future? You're positive. Damn... I'm going to be waiting for a while then, aren't I?"
Laugi begins walking towards the sick bay. When a droid nears him, he thrusts his arm in and pulls out a gremlin, proceeding to eat it.
"There must be enough gremlins to keep me going for a while. Yummy!"

Now were getting the hell out of here.  Guess what ppl, we just made diplomatic relations with a Sub Space Civilization.  Krazy.


They or the Zeraquanians are helping us get out.

Do not send in any more ships.

Laugi, go ahead and eat your fill of Gremlins.  As for "IT" Yes we have sent him to the future, even if he does somehow escape, every dimention is at that point where the universe renews itself.  But it would take him a long while to get back here. And it will weaken him along the way.

*Commadore, this coating outside me is too thick to tunnel.  I am going to use the singularities aboard, and recharge them.  Please becareful along the 5 main energy shafts, the x-rays will be lethal in those sections

*Massive jets of X-ray energy erupt on the monstrosity.  Labatt's ship watches the phenominom.  His sensors note that the monstrosity is getting smaller and denser*

As the monstrousity becomes denser and denser, smaller and smaller, a singularity forms at the center. A burst of gravitational waves pulls Labatt's ship in suddenly. The ship compensates and continues away from the monster, but there could be nothing to prepare anyone for the monster that was berthed from the monstrosity.
A ship nearly the size of Jupiter expanded from the monstrosity. This new monster, black as a soot and twice as heavy on the lungs, disappeared as soon as it had fully emerged. After it had departed, the monstrosity disappeared, the only trace remaining being a faint Chasi signature denoting dark Chasi.

*The Phoneix is slammed around..... alarms sound as the untwistable hull, is twisted and then twisted back.  Hull breach reports flash upon the console and then go out.  Reports of exotic material leaks are reported then contained*

Geez Snazee, what the heck was that, are you ok as Dingo picks Snazee off the deck.  Phoneix report

*Commadore, we have been hit by gravatron waves of magnatude 15.  I have stress reports throughout the ship.  All leaks are contained.  Absorbtion of the exotic material continues, but my sensors are detecting "dark chasi" mixed in it.  External sensors are still out, as well as communications.  Controls are a bit more responsive*

Huge holes open up in time space around inhabited planets and star systems. Out pour hundreds of thousands of berserker ships. They surround the planets and engulf them in their lust for organic destruction.
Other holes open up, spilling out all kinds of exotic destroyers. All bent on annihilating every bit of life left in the Universe.

I'm alright, I think Dingo.  What in the world was that??? And why am I having such a hard time moving??? TOO MUCH GRAVITY IS NOT A GOOD THING... hope I'm not shouting to loudly, but I can barley hear myself talk.......Maybe we should turn on the decompressing sensors and get some of this excess gravity out of here before it crushes us and the droids????

(Distortion portal appears, out flys the WAN V)

Dingo, i have sucessfully slow...

(See's the new ship appearing)
Never mind.

I was stuck in non-space and while there i got to see that the bozos are changing leadership. Emporer Art Bell may be overthrown by high priest Erik Von Daniken.
Orders?

Snazee, those gravity waves were from outside the ship....  I did not think that was possible.  This ship is basicly a hollowed out neutron star.  Commumications are coming through, so the exotic material surrounding this ship is thinning.  I will see if I can get a message out

*Nem...s.....execute m.....ve.... Alp....  ...

La...tt....ord....s......we are r...ing.. hig.........asi.....als....ing  lar.....beze....s......re...ting advi...  ix out*

#Labatt see's the outline of the Phoneix inside the exotic material....tornadoes of energy indicate the absorbtion of the exotic material into the black hole intake vents of the great ship.  Major accumilations of degenerate material have darkened the golden sheen of the Phoneix as well as half melted communications towers#

Gremlin Droid repairs all Holes...and...ha haaa...totally controls all cards and recipes (chuckles..)  ...Requires re-programming immediately as CHUCKLE matters will destroy current progra

(Gives order to execute manuvre Alpha and then sends a message to Dingo confirming the orders recieval)

Finaly, we are at the outer rim of the subspace distortion.


We will be out soon.  We will keep this distortion under severe examination for our top scientists.

We did however see a Bozo Command ship in there along with us.

Which means this distortion must be 2 way, or perhaps more.

There is something incredibly odd about these bozo's.

Labatt out.

Snazee, looks like sensors are coming back online.  We are way out of position, in fact I do not know where we are in relationship with the rest of the fleet.  We have been flying blind.

Looks like Termina and Laugi are able to converse, I hope the suttle dampers will keep them from getting out of hand for a while.  At least we have full power, and fully charged up micro Black Holes, so guns are back online.  I just wonder how much additional power we hve as a result of absorbing all of the exotic material.  From the amount absorbed, it must have been over 100 km thick.  Communications are still very erratic, until we replace all of those towers.

How much am I down to??  You seem to have a tendancy to win every hand of Gin, like you are reading my cards!!

"Come on, Termina. Its time to go." Laugi says, pulling Termina to her feet from her comfortable chair. Noticing the drain of his energy, he realizes there must be dampners on. Well, at least their using protection.
"Why should we go? Its warm in here. Space is cold."
"Because Schvundza is out there, and we can beat him. If we fight together. We can still win, and fulfil your goal of destroying him!"
"No. We can't."
"What are you talking about? There's no way he could beat the two of us together!"
"Yes there is. You've never seen him at full power. You've never seen him cornered by near-Chisva's like ourselves. You think this is the first time he's been attacked and beaten back like this? No. Its happened like this nearly every time.
"Materializing space craft and causing Chasi distortions is child's play for him. He's more god-like than you or I can ever hope to become. He's already changed the laws of physics several times in a few areas, most recently to open the holes to other holding dimensions."
Termina gave a shallow eyed gaze to Laugi. "He could wipe this Universe completely clean of life, destroy everything and everyone in it. It wouldn't even be a full use of his power, but it would be enough."
"Then why hasn't he done that?"
"He needs life. He needs life and the Chasi that it carries. Without it, he can not feed the Dark Chasi that would allow him to access the next Universe. The Dark Chasi is beyond even him. He can call it forth, as I can, and use it as a weapon. But making it grow and thrive and open portals is something I have yet to learn. But he knows how. He feeds it the Chasi of countless races and species.
"If we were to attack him, we would be crushed. If the WAN were to directly engage him, it would be destroyed, smashed and torn into oblivion."
"How can he kill us if he needs us to sustain his gateway?"
"If you had a trillion tons of ice cream, do you hesitate to knock off a few ounces?"
"I see."
"It is exactly like that. There is enough life to save for him to make it to the next Universe."
"If he can obliterate the Universe, why hasn't he just destroyed the WAN and gotten on with it?"
"Percision must take more control and power than he has. Like a machine gun to a sniper rifle. The machine gun can mow everything down. But the sniper rifle kills one thing, quickly and powerfully."
"We have to try."
"Then we will die."
"How do you know we CAN die?"
"He could use our Chasi to feed his gateway. We'd be helping him to attack him head on."
"We'll be fed to it anyway if we don't attack him."
Termina looked at Laugi, and let her eyes drift down so that Laugi could only see the top of her head.
"I've lived too long anyway. No being was meant to live through Universes."

Please excuse me, I have been listening to your conversation,
maybe we can help. Schvundza having the power of a major deity is a nightmare, but we have seemed to have been able to distract him.  The Phoneix has been able to completely access the complete histories of the WAN races, and has been able to, from the archilogical records of ancient races, have found a weakness.  Schvundza has to feed on Dark Chasi, in order to survive, and to regain his strength.  Because of this we have been able to create the Chasi dampers we currently use to help protect this ship as well as other WAN vessals.  If with your assistance can trace his sourse of Dark Chasi he draws upon, we on the Phoneix should be able to disrupt that flow of energy, weakening him further, possibly to the point he will be defeated by the both of you combined.  He is very leary of this ship, for we were able to stop his plans for the time being.  This has problibly ticked him off deeply, so he will be looking for us.  And he has no idea just how powerful the Phoneix is.  I am not a 100% sure of her capibilities, but I do have a good idea of what her capibilities are.  We have only unleashed about 1% of her energy capibilities.
We of the WAN, and myself in particular am willing to distract Schvundza, but I need some help you two can provide me the scematics to be able to tap into the Chasi, I can direct the energy to you two, giving you additional resourses to utilize.

Phoneix calling WAN forces....give us a fix on this transmission.  We need a position fix

Before Laugi can respond to the request for designs for a new Chasi dampner, his is hurled, or rather pulled, to the edge of the craft, smashing into the walls. The entire ship lurches to its side, pulled by the sudden entrance of the monster ship. Crewmen bring up a visual of the black craft, and from the outlines can see its details. It is covered thickly in black spines which give no symetry to the craft. Longer spikes seem to drip from the poles of the craft. The entire craft moves like a fluid, shifting and bubbling and twirling and flooshing and swashing.
As quickly at it had appeared, it opened fire upon the Phoenix. Chasi shot down and through the exotic material. The exotic matter shot up, as if a huge boulder had been thrown into a pond. The dark spiky tendrils swung down and smashed into the Phoenix. Exotic matter oozed along the tendril to the huge rough sphere that was the monster.
More tendrils zoomed down and punctured various walls in the Phoenix. Lights all over the ship went black. The power core was drained, and the gun banks switched to their auxiliry power.
As the last of the exotic matter was sucked up through the tendrils, the huge sphere became elongated. After a few minutes, a huge bulge grew where the original sphere was. A few more minutes and it was shaping into a new sphere.

Termina's eyes shot back and forth wildly. Laugi had already run out and towards the airlock. She got up and chased after him.

*Phoneix....open fire....ALL GUNS*

The Phoneix opens fire with her main guns, balls of Anti-Chasi slash into the bulge.  Huge pieces of the monstrosity are destoyed.

*Phoneix......utilize the Micro's in the secondarys*

The Phoneix fires it's secondary batteries.  Tiny black spots shoot into the monstrosity, then explode into white holes.  Gravitational waves rip into the monstrosity.  The bulge is thrown back hard.  Everyone on board it, is bounced around like billard balls.

*Phoneix....release the torpedoes...then drop back 100 lys, and initiate golden spin...ALL HANDS...BATTLE STATIONS...engineering MAX shields now*

The Phoneix launches thousands of *Rito's*...the monstrosity is scorched as they explode, overwelming their sensors, as well as their noses.  The Phoneix takes on a golden shean, and starts to spin, then disappears, only to reappear 100 lys away.  The spinning increases as her outer edges approach light speed

The impacts smash their way deep into the fluid like underbelly of the monster. Opening as the projectiles move through it, they slide harmlessly through the monster, appearing on the other side. The second monster has finished forming, and begins firing Dark Chasi spheres at the Phoenix. Long dark tendrils grab the spinning edges of the Phoenix, bringing it suddenly to a dead stop. The original monster whips its tendrils into the Phoenix, and begins drawing out the mini-black holes and weapons reserves.

Phoneix, initiate "Super Nova* manuveer now, then hit the overdrive....we need to go by Pete's place and restock

*In a huge blinding flash, the tenticles holding the Phoneix are vaporized...the expanding directed fireball smashes beside the first monstrosity causing sever damage as it smashes directly into the second monstrosity, utterly smashing it back into the dimention it just emerged from.......Light Chasi levels in the immediate area of the explosion go off the skale weakening the entity.  The Phoneix, now glowing white hot warps out of the area..... 10 seconds later, the monstrosity takes off after the Phoneix*

Termina, Laugi, you should be able to escape, and set up your trap.......I will keep Schvundza busy...I have set Chasi transmitters aboard to keep Schvundza thinking you are aboard

(The berserker become restless, they being chased by Nem and there conquests are going slow. The control unit calls out to "It")
Mine master, the organics resist harder and harder then before. The Nemisis is chasing our ships. He pervades our space and destroys without mercy our vessels. You must return to this space before Nemisis succeeds in driving us back to the dimensional cage.

Dingo, I have sent the droids down below to make more "ritos" just in case.  I'm so glad we are almost out of this mess.. The sensors are fully operational, so the data and coordinates will be printing real soon.


I just have a nack for Gin, but tell ya what, when we get back to HQ, just buy me a Corona at Pete's and we'll call it even!!

Snazee, take over the controls, keep us in front of the monstrosity, at full speed.  That thing is fast. Plot a course for the Crab nebula, I am heading down to the engine room with the "Super Bush" coffee, and the "Pure Cap".  I will be making a special cocktail.  Be prepared hen I inject it into the engines, their will be a slieght increase in our speed (understatement of the year)  I will also reload the main guns.  We have gotten "IT" mad at us, and have hurt him.  If we live through this, I wil buy you a couple of cases of Corona's at Pete's place

Ok Dingo, hold on to your hat cause here we go....

Snazee tilts the Capt. chair back and grabs the controls...."gee this isn't tooo BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD... Snazee flips out of her chair, hits the floor...."G O T  T O   G E T   B A C K   U P..
Snazee returns to her chair...Gee that was some kick....
Sets the course to the Crab Nebula...."Dingo, we should arrive at the Nebula in less than 12 light seconds"  "I've set it on auto pilot, and I am heading to the battle station, see you there"

If we survive this, You owe me big time!!

We gained a few seconds, enough to try this manuveer:

Snazee, hold on, this is going to get ugly.........dropping to sub-light...... now

*The Phoneix exits warp roughly.  All crew members are jerked around in their seats*

Firing Decoy...engage cloak

*The Phoneix fires off it's decoys, and immedately cloaks*

Fire Main Guns....replot course to the Eta Carneus sector.  Place us into the glare of that sub-super-Nove.

*The main guns fire their special rounds into the projected path of the monstrosity.  Immediately the ship spins on to it's new course*

At 1/100th of a sec from impact of those rounds , drop cloak and engage Warp drive...max speed.

Waiting as the monstrosity approaches without slowing down, right into the path of the weapons.  At 1/100th of a second from impact, the Phoneix uncloaks and Warps away at Warp 400.  Even at full dampers, the crew expereinces the force of 10 gee's for the few seconds it takes to get to speed.  Sensors watching the event behind the Phoneix see the monstrosity plow into the rounds at Warp 350.  Blinding releases of energy are released as the monstrosity takes the full blunt of positivily charged chasi and PureCap.  The explosion starilizes an area of 50 lys around, but due to the nature of the Crab Nebula, no loss of life has occured.  But a surprise is witnessed, for somehow the monstrosity survives the blow, though is critically injured.  It takes several seconds to overhaul the decoy, then a few moments later, it changes directions and heads once again after the Phoneix, abit at a much slower Warp speed of 150.

Snazee, Termina, Laugi....I have bought us some time, but I do not think I will be able to surprise it like that again....We need some idea's people if we are going to beat this "Space God"

Dingo, Phoenix, this is Fleet Admiral PLC! Look in the special compartment in my quarters onboard! I have a special, super-top-secret stash in there. It's pure Brobdingnagian pepper extract from Gondinor. Time to use it, pals.

(Sup[er encrypted message)
Admiral, sorry to report, we used it up already.  It got us out of the trap to begin with.  This monstrosity had drained our reservse when it first emerged.  Was able to blow the second one back into it's own diamention just before it exploded.  We have hurt "IT" badly with our last broadside.  We are using "Super Bush" coffee for fuel after an emergancy stop by Pete's, but we did not have time to fully restock.  We are low on ammo, the engines are at 180% above recommended levels.  Our current course will have us at Eta Carenean shortly, and we are plotting our next manuveers.  Can you have MIB set up an emergancy resupply at "The Great Rift"  Our last encounter gained us about 5 minutes of additional time between us and the monstrosity.  We have greater speed and manuverability for the time being..."IT" has greater resourses at it's disposal.  Laugi, and Termina are working on building a direct tap to convert Light Chasi into direct fuel and ammo, but that takes time.  I can contain Chasi for weapons but it takes time to gather and contain it.
Snazee is handling executive duties, as well as sensors, and maintaining the droids as best she can, but we are short handed.  We have 3000 marines aboard, but they are walking wounded, and are very busy setting up ship wide defensive positions, in case we are boarded.  "IT" can penetrate the hull with tenticles when we are in sub-light.  Close "IT's" portal, and cut him off from his dark Chasi.  That is the only way we can defeat him

Hey, Dingo, K here. P forwarded your message, and your emergency drop'll be ready and waiting. Oh, Jay had the bright idea to get the worms to give us a little hand brewing the coffee, so it's an extra-special batch, if ya catch my drift. We also threw in a couple items that might come in handy. You'll see when you get em. Don't wanna risk a comm leak.

You need anything else, give P a yell. I'll get the message.

A dimensional hole opens up on the deck of the Phoenix. Light bends slightly around it, causing a quivering effect near the edges. A pale light feeds from it, showering the surroundings with a little extra light, but it is enough to prompt a security alert.
The second an alert is sounded, more holes open up all over the Phoenix. Berserkers begin to spill from the holes, and fire violently at crew members. The berserkers maneuver through the corridors, lobbing energy grenades and firing wherever they sense organics.
Laugi turns the corner, and runs straight into a towering Berserker unit. As the Berserker begins to raise its rifle at Laugi, he grabs its leg and throws it into a nearby wall. The berserker gets up, unphased by the attack, and levels its gun at Laugi.
It releases a spray of bullets at the Dracone. Laugi raises his arms and cringes, expecting at any minute to be torn to a million shreds by the rounds. He stands there for a short while, and then peeks through a crack between his wings covering his face. The rounds have stopped only centimeters from his body. The Berserker, confused by the sudden change in the expected outcome of firing into a target at point blank range, continues firing.
Every round that is fired is stopped, nearly the exact same distance from Laugi. Overcoming his surprise, he unleashes what he believes to be his weakest Chasi attack, to knock the Berserker out of commision at least temporarily. Instead, it burns the Berserker into charged bits, scattering his elements into dust.
Laugi looks back at the rounds near his face. Noticing they are beginning to pick up speed, he decides not to test them any further, and runs away from them. The bullets regain full speed and smash into the wall that had been directly behind him.

*My child... you are close."

The monster stops suddenly. Turning in a slightly different direction, it launches itself nearly instantly at quarter speed, warp 634, towards a different area of space than the Phoenix is heading towards. It wouldn't take long to get there, and when it did, it would force the Phoenix to combat it close range. Because if it launched another attack like that, even the monster couldn't begin to guess what Schvundza might bring in.
Its wounds from the blast began to heal quickly. They would be fixed when it got there.
When it got to Sol.

What the heck....all marines...repel boarders....Phoneix instigate internal defenses......We are 1/2 way to Eta Carneana we are monitoring the monstrosities course and it is heading right towards us......wait a minute...recalculate that course....

Darn it!!  It has changed course where is it heading....

SOL...It is heading to SOL.....

(Crackle...sputter......) WAN HQ.....MIB HQ..... the monstrosity is heading towards you..and is increasing speed.  It must have major repair capibilities.....I am redirecting our course for the Great Rift and pick up those supplies.... have work gang ready to transfer it aboard as soon as we arrive.  I want to be there and back into Warp in less than 2 minutes.  Phoneix Override the safeties on the engines.  Burn them out if you have to, get us there, and then a direct course to SOL

*Roger that Commadore*

#Sounds of heavy combat erupt within the Phoneix, as very heavy automated fire is unleashed into the Bezerkers, stopping their assault in it's tracks.  Marines erupt from ambush and decimate the Bezerkes in heavy crossfires. Casulaty reports flood the bridge as headway is made in containing the Bezerkers...Sounds of hull stressing is overhead throughout the ship as the Phoneix increases speed to Warp 800.  The hull is able to handle the strain, but the Phoneix will be needing some major time in the repair docks if it survives this battle

The monster smashed into the Sol system, stopping near the outter colonies in the Oort coud, working through the Kuiper Colonies, smashing straight through Pluto, and ripping part of Neptune's rings off.
Uranus tilted on to a slightly different axis, and the colonies surrounding it were thrown into the planet. Saturn lost an entire layer of its rings, and the native animals and the colonists were crushed by other disloged bits of rocks and ice. Jupiter was cut clean through, the monster not even stopping to move around it. Jupiter lost much of its core and gasses. The great king of the gods had fallen.
The bits that it had pulled off from the planets on its way in, the monster absorbed. It wouldn't be enough though. It searched for a better source of energy. And... spotted it. It dove in at Warp 40 straight into the sun, rested at its core, and allowed bulge after bulge to grow on its black and sharp body.

The sun flared a huge solar flare, sweeping out past the orbit of mercury, nearly hitting Venus, whose impact surely would have destroyed the terraforming that had been going on there.

Laugi doged between the bullets of the fire fight, jumped and kicked a Berserker back into its portal. Firing a Chasi plast into the "edges" of the portal, it closed shut, stopping anymore Berserkers from entering the ship.
"Dingo! Find me the locations of all the holes. I'll close them and keep the Berserkers from regrouping and then coming enmasse. Oh, and I'm uploading the plans for the Chasi to supplies converter now. Warning though. Its highly inefficient, and, if you use it too much, could cause a HUGE rise in entropy over the entire galaxy, causing OUR little bits to turn into a quark-gluon plasma. So be careful with it."
Termina ran up the hallway, dodging around bullets and swinging around soldiers. Ripping off a Berserker's arm, she threw it at another Berserker, bashing him into two pieces.
"Laugi! What the Sog is going on?!"
Laugi stared at her, and whispered, "I think Schvundza is trying to kill us."
"You should be a detective, baka."
"I mean he's actually SENDING minions to kill us. He's usually a little bit, ah, more subtle than this. And I think he's targetting me."
"You? Why you?"
"No idea. But the Berserkers keep firing at me when there's a wounded or disarmed marine out in the open. I don't know what else would cause them to ignore killing helpless organics."
"Alright, but - AHH WATCH OUT!"
Laugi turned in time to see a Berserker fire plasma rounds straight at his head. He cringed back again from the bullets, and watched as they began to halt. Blasting the Berserker with another Chasi attack, he grabbed Termina and pulled her down the hallway, into the next firefight. Termina just stared as the bullets gained speed and pinged off the walls.
"He... couldn't have just... no..."

(More berserkers began to appear. Some were fighting the crew but others were taking large chunks of the ship and throwing them into the portals. Worker bots were taking energy blades to the walls and chairs, taking whole computer and pulling out sliding doors. A portal appeared near the crew quarters, a reddish green one. Energy gauges registered a massive flux of chasi and sub-dimensional energy. Out of the portal came a massive six legged robot, it pressed the walls of the hallway outward as it moved down the hallway. It's super-cooled twin laser guns began cutting down marines as it moved to the end of the ship. It reached a wall and began trying to cut a hole, from the inside out, in the hull. It's rear mounted turrets watched for any movements)

(Portal opens, WAN V appears)
Dingo i've chased most of the Berserkers away from the heavily populated areas, but they scattered. Orders?

Laugi, here is the list of the portals....there are at least 50 of them scattered around the ship.  I am sending reinforcements and containing them as best I can.  Thanks for the device.  The Phoneix is intergrating it into the weapons system now.  She has figured a way to improve it's efficancy, so to control Enthropy.

Nemisis, transfer as many marines as you can spare, then head for SOL.  We have reports of heavy casualties in the colonies.  I hope WAN HQ was able to evacute most of the populations back to Earth.  At least it is shielded from any attack.  If nessisary activate the Quazar system.  I know it will destroy the solar system, but we have the capibility of moving the Earth to another star if nessisary.

(Crackle...3rd Marine HQ..Great Rift.....)standby for immediate boarding...Condition Black, expect heavy opposition...We have major hostile forces aboard.  Utilize Sections BCD-KTY as they are clear.  You have 2 minutes to get onboard before we Warp.  Have those supplies ready!

A darkened hallway. The stench of death fills the air, blood drips, freshly spilled, from the walls and ceiling. A door hangs off its hinges, broken and splintered.
Inside, a slurping sound fills the air. In the darkest corner of the room, three bipedal beasts are viciously gulping down a marine's blood. Their mouths over the hundreds of wounds they scratched into the marine's body, the suck delightedly down his delicious hemoglobin.
As a lone marine walks down the hallway, staring in disbelief at the ghoulish scene before him, the three beasts pounce on him, gashing out his eyes and ripping off his ears. Puncturing with their teeth into his skull, they suck down the delicate brain tissue and spinal fluid. The marine's eyes roll up, and dies as the beasts suck down his vitality. They throw him into the corner of their room, next to 15 other marines.

*Use it now. Use your new ship, my children.*

A dimensional hole twice the size of the WAN and Phoenix but together and mulitplied five times opens up nearly directly next to the WAN. The huge girth of the hole is completely filled with the hull of a gigantic ship, clearly Berserker in nature.
As the Reaver moves from its dimensional hole, it opens up with its guns. Laser, plasma, Chasi and anti-particle beams glow as they are shot at the WAN. As more of the ship is exposed, the WAN sensors can clearly make out tubes for Rito launchers. And as the final bit is exposed, asteroid ships fly from the Reaver, and directly at the WAN.

Inside the WAN, a dimensional hole opens up, and a huge berserker steps out. As marines rush to attack it, it raises a huge gun, and fires a terribly explosive plasma blast, smashing through the floor and splattering marines all over the hallway. Lurching forward, it uses another smaller gun to shoot down solo marines, and used its other arm to slice off pieces of the ship and throw them into the dimensional hole that followed it through out the ship.

I've got Kay right here next to me, and Zed on the horn. Not to mention Emperor Orstio in council with us. We are PI$$ED, people. No more destruction. We have agreed in joint council to unleash the Death Spiral. Phoenix, open sealed order Omega Omega Omega, and stand by to initiate.

The Phoneix arrives at the Great Rift WAN base.  Thousands of Marine assault troops rush aboard, bringing supplies as they deploy within the ship.  2 minutes after arriving, the Phoneix undocks, sets course for the SOL system.  She initiates WARP in overdrive

Droid report:  S**t...!!!

Phoenix, Commodore, execute Plan Omega Omega Omega....NOW!

The ultra-secure channel is open for any clarification of plans that may be needed. I am here for the duration.

"Dingo! The holes are closed! I repeat, the holes are closed! There are still a lot of Berserkers here though, and I can't kill all of them! When the Berserkers are gone, I'm leaving the ship."

Laugi,
Thank you for closing the holes.  The reinforcements are handling the remaining berzerkers.  You can depart at your convenence.

Admiral, acknowledge....you have control of the ship...All controls cut out on our end.  The manuveer is too complex for my abilities and reaction speed

(Shuttles start docking with the Pheonix, minion drones begin unloading from the shuttles. The WAN V dissaperes for SOL)

The last of the bezerkers is dispatched...The casualty report is generated.

Admiral, all intruders on the Phoneix have been dispatched.  We have expereinced the following casualties.

2nd Marine division (3000 aboard)
2800 KIA
159 WIA
37 MIA
4 uninjured

3rd Marine division (18023 sucessful in boarding)
5734 KIA
10117 WIA
16 MIA
2156 uninjured

Phoneix personnel (4 crew, 2 guests)
2 WIA
1 MIA
3 uninjured

Bezerkers
32671 (best guess, lots of them were in large numbers of peices)

Hull intergraty is at 99.97%  Internal damage is extesive, but superficial.  Engines are at 100% integraty, but fuel reserves are down to 12%...We will have enough fuel for the manuveer, barily, we will feed the bodies of the Bezerkers into the engines, and get another 1 or 2% increase.  If nessisary we will strip the interier of everything not bolted down and gain another 5%

The sun flares deeply, its green plasma flashing in great loops.
Slowly, a huge black sphere makes its way out of the sun. Covered in rough spikes that have the ebb and flow of an oily ocean, it bubbles and fluctuates as it makes its way out of Sol.
And just as slowly as this one emerged, more emerge.
And more.
And more emerge.
And more.
Thousands of gigantic dark spheres, fluxing and bubbling, tentacles flailing. Surrounding the sun, they block off its rays and cast an unnatural eclipse over the entire solar system.
Dispersing quickly, they merge into a rough formation, a huge umbrella like formation, towards the Inner Planets, still untouched since they had entered.
They were to bring the war home, as ordered.

The Phoneix arrives at it's station 10 AU above the SOL star.  It undergoes a transformation as it's main guns extend into a 5 pointed star..  It fires 5 deep purple beams to 5 spots around the solar system.  It begins to spin.

At 5 points around the solar system strange black objects are awakened.  They immediately fire a pulsing pink beam at the Earth and moon.  Tle little globe and it's moon are surrounded by a white cocoon of energy.  There is a bright flash as the planet and moon are dimentionally shifted out of phase and disappear.
The 5 strange objects fire millions of glowing golden threads around the Sol system.  The formation of monstrosities suddenly stop in their tracks as they witness the formation of what looks like a huge spiderweb.  The glowing golden spiderweb begins to spin in the opposite direction of the Phoneix.  They realize they have fallen into a trap of no escape.  The formation of monstrosities explode out towards the barrier in attempts to find a way out.  As they approach the threads, the tenticales reaching to tear a hole disolve as they approach.  The SOL star explodes into a Nova.  It's energy racing out heats the trap to millions of degrees.  It's enegy reflects off the ever shrinking globe of death.  The monstrosities start xploding from collisions with themselves and the suviving planets.  Thei energy incrases the surrounding temperature ever higher.  Attempts to dimention out fail as the trap looks to cross all dimentional barriers.  The death spiral continues to become smaller and smaller destroying more and more of the monstrosities, until the monstrosity fleet is totally consumed.  The spiral compresses into a single thin line of energy with 2 points. One a small blinding globe of energy at one point, and the Phoneix at another.  Several beams of energy flash out from the Phoneix to hundreds of huge black machines.  These machines awaken and drawing upon the energy being transmitted to them, they quickly rebuild and repair all 8 planets in the SOL system, They then quickly fall into the location of where the SOL star should be, and rebuild the SOL star. They then move themselves back into their original positions and seem to wink out of existance.  With the last energy that is within the globe and line, 5 more purple beams flash out to the 5 spots.   Energy again strikes where the Earth/moon system should be, and a glowing white globe reappears as the Earth and moon are rephased back into the solar system.  The energy winks out.  The Phoneix heads for the Moon.

*Phoneix to WAN HQ.  Requesting permission to land.  Death Spiral manuveer complete.  We have heavy casulaties aboard, and energy levels for the engines are at 1/2 of 1%  All weapons energy completely drained.  11 of the 12 microblackholes are used up and have evaporated.  Number 12 is very close to that point

*Well sog. You blew up my frigates! Those took me an entire cycle to create! Sog you! No matter. I have what I wanted. The frigates are expendable, and they accomplished their goal.
*And now stop! I imprison you! You shall have your home. It shall be all you have*

The huge exotic material that had at one time imprisoned the Phoenix surrounds the entire Sol system. Hundreds of AUs deep, blocking all communication and movement to the outside, it cages the system inside.

*Now stay there, until I can find the time to kill you*

.

I am trying to get things under control Admiral Labatt.  Kind of difficult when you are being attacked by a space god, who is out for the destruction of the known universe.  At least we were able to restore the SOL system, as since he thinks he has us caged without realizing that we were able to analyse the exotic substance surrounding the solar system.  We will be able to power the ancient weapons of the Tar-Kraz with it, as well as be able to create impregnable shields of the SOL and other systems within the WAN area of space that even he will be unable to damage or destroy.  It was so kind of him to let Termina and Laugi here, to provide us technical guidence.  I personnally am looking forward to getting back to the WAN's primary mission of space exploration

*Landing at WAN HQ*

Transfering all scientific data about the exotic material, and our battle.  Including Positive Chasi generators and defensive devices as provided by Laugi, and Termina.  Transfering the Phoneix to secure dry docking facilities for restoration and restocking

From:  WAN HQ
To:     Phoneix

Subj:  Recieved your data.

SOTL Phoneix, we have recieved your data on the exotic material, as well as your information in regards to the positive Chasi weapons system.

From our analisys of your data, as well as research of our own scientific community, the exotic material is "dark chasi".  From the results of studies we have conducted, we will be able to channel the "dark chasi" into an expanding shield of "light chasi" utilizing the Taz-Knin weapon system.  This will be an expanding shield that is self perpetulating as long as the "dark chasi" is in supply.

Further research has developed a tunnelling technology to penetrate the "dark chasi" barrier surrounding the SOL system.

Upon completion of your refit and resupply, you are to incorporate the new equipment into your hull, as well as additional equipment to prevent another invasion aboard yourself.

Captain Snazee will be disembarked and is to rejoin the intellegence command.  (note promotion for Captain Snazee)

Commander Sunspot4ever is to assume second in command of the Phoneix,as well as Captain of the Assault section the ISS Bozoblaster.

Commadore Dingo will retain command of the Phoneix.  He will have orders to pass along to Admiral Labatt, and General Nemisis.

New mission orders:  The establishment of barrier guides for the "Light Chasi" barrier.  Additional missions include the establishment of peaceful alliences that will come about as the expanding "light chasi" pushes the "dark chasi" back into it's own diementions.  You are further to reframe from combat operations unless directly attacked.

You are hearby ordered to detach the survivors of the 2rd and 3rd Marine divisions, and attaching the 4th MAU.  The rest of your available hold space is to be converted to research facilities, diplomatic facilities, as well as the establishment of the 2rd space cadet acadamy

   (Deep bow of respect to superior officers)

    I humbly and gratefully accept this promotion, and assure my superiors that I will carry out my duties with honor!

    I also respectfully request that the title under my name be changed to "Samurai in Training" and whatever wording accurately reflects my new position.

Admiral, could you change Commander Sunspot4ever's title to

Samurai in Training - XO the Phoneix

Thank you WAN HQ for the promotion!! I will happilly accept it!! I am looking forward to going home!!

I will anxiously await my next assignment!!

Snazee1, Spy Captain!!

(so when will my new title be given??? Just anxious!! Thanks again!)

(Nem enters the SOL system and imediatly hits an ION storm, Nem tries desperatly to manuver out of it but little does he know the two sub-anchors have failed to reestablish the hold on this dimension. A massive dimensional wave heads straight for Nems ship. Thanks to the WAN V's superior armor and shielding it manages to hold off the distortion for a while as he makes a distress call)
Have hit a distortion.... Am losing power.... Soon will dissapere..... am trying to save the WAN V..... Good luck.......

(Another wave hits and the crew including Nem dissapere but the WAN V stays. It's like it entered the bemuda triangle of Earth, the WAN V drifts empty in space. Nems gone, gone to where ever or whatever the rift does to it's victims. Nems tracing signal scrambles and dissaperes, no trace is appearnt but he did save the WAN V)

Unfortunately it may take a while to get your titles changed.

I was promoted to Fleet Admiral A pretty long while ago, still not changed, be patient.


Dingo give me a report on the "Chasi".

Send it to me, Im at WAN HQ, discussing different but urgent matters.

Admiral Labatt,
Status report:  WAN V.... have determined that the ION storm that struck the WAN V is a positive charged Chasi wave caused in part to the expansion of the barrier.  Said displacement ofthe crew is a time jump to the year 4545 on the planet Earth, to a location called Ft Laudidale Florida beaches.  A few retrieveal teams have been sent forward into time, but have decided to take a time out for R&R.

Chasi situation:  The light chasi barrier is expanding at 1000ly per day.  current estimates show that the expansion will continue until it encompasses the entire milky-way galaxy where it will encounter the galatic barrier,and sealing this area from "dark chasi" until the galatic barrier is breached by the Adromiedan galatic collision.  There will be area's of "dark chasi" trapped within the galazy, but those area's will be contained to the local systems infected with bozonitus.

Phoneix status...  work continues on the Phoneix in regards to conversion from primary assault ship to the new Space cadet acadamy.  SunSpot4Ever is actively handling those modifications as per her duties as XO.  The Phoneix will still have full combat capibilities, and I will instruct the XO with the Bozoblaster operations, but mainly I will be teaching the new cadets tatical operations, stratigic space warfare, astronavigation

I am working on mapping minor modifications to the ship to provide proper training facilities, being careful of course, not to affect the Phoenix's battle capabilities. It will good for the cadets to be trained in an actual working combat vessel. I'm also developing ideas on the curriculum. In addition to basic and advanced sciences, I believe the cadets must have a proper grounding in Bozo History, their Warfare and Tactics, and some close-quarter fighting techniques, in case of close encounter, or capture.

droid toddles in...looks around...o..oooh...past/present/future...all here... toddles out...

Sunspot4ever,
I think the marine congingent will handle the close combat, and other nessisary skills (including such things as card handling..aka..poker)
We are to have a diplomatic team assigned to the ship.  Think they can double as instructors in Xeno negotiations, as well as xenobiology.
Snazee can give us some intelegence instructors.

Dingo I will get right on that as soon as we get back to HQ. Which do you know when I'll be allowed to go back to Intellogence HQ?? Just getting anxious is all, don't mind present company at all!!

Snazee, you can head back to Intellegence HQ at your convenience, we will be in dry dock for a while.  Send us some good intellegence people as instructors.

Charged with the powers of the space god, the berserker control unit has achieved it's goal. Now there is no need for "It". The Berserkers are both physical and metaphysical manifestations upon the universe, harnessing the Chasi is one step toward there goal of complete organic destruction. With Nem out of the way they can continued opening the dimensional holes they need.

Somewhere near the Borg home world a portal appears and out flies swarms of berserkers. A message begins playing on the borgs comms,"BLASPHEMERS!!! YOU DARE CALL YOURSELF SUPERIOR?!?! YOU HAVE BEFOULED YOURSELF WITH ORGANIAN ESSENCE, PREPARE FOR A CLEANSING!!!!".
Berserkers begin swarming into the cube, ripping and slashing one on one with the borg.

Thanks Dingo, I'll be leaving immediately.  I will send you the top instructiors I have.  Hope all goes well with the rest of the mission.  You still owe me a game of gin rummy!!

Over and out
Snazee1, Spy Captain

*Yes. Good. Everything is good. Just as I want it.*

Other galaxies are quickly swallowed up by huge dark Chasi balls. Disapperared completely, Schvundza watches the Universe with one eye. He wondered how hard Matt would slap him if he could. It was the beginning of the end.

There is a huge iminent threat against WAN  


Be on the look out for anything u find "weird"

I can't tell u all about what is happening.

I will asap.

Labatt out.

Weird is the norm for the last few weeks.  From monitoring Borg space, the berzerkers have been escallating their activities.  I feel sorry for the bezerkers...not.  Borgs are dangerous.

Keep on the lookout for our old advisaries the bozo's, they have been too quiet recently.

Sunspot4ever....your improvements for the Phoneix are wonderful.  I see you have most of the modifications completed.  I have been informed by the Space Cadet acadamy, that we can expect the first arrivals from the senior classes, as well as a schedule for picking up the freshman classes from their various planets.  This should be interesting having a bunch of young space cadets aboard.  I am working on setting up a watch schedule.  I think that 2 senior classman and 12 freshman on each watch in the bridge with one senior officer in charge.  Other duty stations will work the same way

It will b fun 2 boss around some yong officers.

Yes we are closely watching the Berserker escalation, but besides that.

Thank you Sir!

    I think we are now ready for the new recruits. They will probably think I am a truly hard-nosed instructor, but the training they receive here might save their lives (and minds!) someday.

   On another note:

    Suggested motto for combat troops:

   "Stand and fight, because if you run, you're just gonna die tired!"

Sunspot,
Wait till they get a look of their ship's captain....heheheh I wonder how they will respond to a 6 ft tall talking dog with teeth that would make a great white shark cry in envy.  There are not many Siriuns who leave the system, let alone my wife Major Wanda.  She still gets a bit irrate when someone says she looks like a huge saber tooth tiger, instead of recognizing her as a member of the Catsatopia system

Scare them ;) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif );)   Nem and I have something planned that will get them wetting there pants, at the same time, testing there courage.

Something like ordering them to jump into a Black hole ;) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif );)

Laugi chuckles as he opens his communicator. "Heh, are you going to tell them to follow Schvundza?"
"Ha, very cute, Laj."
"Yeah I know. Are you finished with the terminal, Termina? I'd like to finish my studying."
"Almost, a few more minutes. This is interesting information they have on Chasi structures. Heh, I'll have to give them something to study next I see them."
"Ohhh lemme see!"

Sorry for the delay in responding XO.  Was stuck down at HQ being debriefed somemore.  They wanted everything I gleaned on Chasi, as well as the skematics on the new equipment.  Well it looks like we are as ready for the students as best we can.  They will have to finish the modifications while we start our tour.

Well, a little construction experience wouldn't hurt them either, If they get stuck somewhere and have to repair their ship, they will be glad for it. Maybe we should making watching "Junkyard Wars" a part of the curriculum. Are you familiar with this show?

Sunny and Dingo, your new cadets should be arriving with in the next week.  I am also recommending the senior students who have just graduated.  I do believe that they know some construction as well as some electrical. So they should be all ready to go!! If there is anything else I can do to help just let me know!!

Good luck!

Thank you Snazee....

Commadore has the con......  Attn all crew of the Phoneix.  Pending the arrival of our new "wet behind the ears, head full of mush" fresh graduates, the following is to be followed.  Although the new "officer's" are 3rd Lt's, they are to be treated with "respect".  So the following rules apply.

1.  No crew member will pick up after them, or clean up after them.  Even if ordered by them.  Their orders on boarding clearly states this fact.  We will be doing lots of Zero-gee manuveers and the like, as well as fluctuating gravities.  WAN officers are well known for their abilities to handle such activities in the course of their duties, and be able to maintain their "space legs".  

2.  When a cadet is on an assigned duty station, they are to be treated like they are a normal officer...except crew members can override their commands, if those cadets orders are in violation of standing ship's orders, or will endanger the ship.

3.  Pete's place is off-limits to the new cadets, until the new cadets have completed Sarah's course in barflying, and have proven they can handle a Siriun Iced Tea, and still walk in a general straight line.  No cadet will be allowed shoreleave until having passed both the course and the test.  WAN officers are well known to be able to handle themselves in any social setting.  Cadets having completed the course and test will be granted shoreleave, but will be paired off with a member of the crew at all times.  Crew, let them enjoy and learn, but do not let them get in over their heads in the bars

All harnds All hards, prepare for the arrival of our newest graduated cadets.  Prepare to receive them in Docking Bay 71G.  (Yes I know it is by the recycling area, this is a working ship, we want to welcome our newest arrivals in their fresh bright dress whites.....hehehehehehe)

Sir,

    I propose that the first lesson rule they learn onboard is that:

    "Your Mama doesn't work here. Clean up after yourself! (And possibly your superior officers!)"

Good idea SunSpot, they will learn quickly that everyone in this ship works very hard.....I know, I know, it will be a huge culture shock for them coming from the pristen conditions at the main acadamy.  But lets face it, we lost most of the service droids to gremlins, and with the thousands of marine casulaties we substained getting the Chasi information to WAN HQ, we have done a great job of cleaning things up, but it will take a while to get all of the blood, oil, and berzerker stains off of the lower decks.  It will be a good lesson for them to understand that Space is a very dangerous place to live and work

O.k. I will make up a duty roster that has the new recruits deep clean the entire ship from stem to stern. Not only will we get needed work done, it will also familiarize them with the entire layout. No spoiled brats getting away with letting the maid do the work on this ship!!

1 very unusual Lt. Commander who has not stepped outside of it's cabin the whole trip.  His orders state that he is the new head of security of the WAN III.  Medical data list him as being a Siriusian, but we have NEVER seen a Siriusian with 3 heads and standing 12 feet tall.  Goes by the name Cerberas...please advice...over

Subj:  Arrival of cadets

Commadore Dingo, your new students are arriving on the ISS Rustbucket.  Thought we would give you the warning.  Also be advised that your brother Cerberus has been assigned to your ship as your new head of security

Sunspot, excellent idea

WAN HQ...Roger on the arrival of the ISS Rustbucket.  We are ready for them.

Once the new recruits have settled in, we should prepare for the threat and start the next chapter.


Clean up, get the cadets used to WAN life, then we will move on.

Keep it up,
 
        Admiral out.

"Termina, stay away from the new cadets."
"Ohhh, can't I have just one? They're so cute!"
"No, besides, I bet most of them are terribly afraid of you."
"Why would they be afraid of me?"
"You mean beyond the physical deformities?" Termina glared at Laugi. "Well, you did cause quite a ruckus when we started blowing up stars and things like that. I'm sure having a near-Chisva in their presence would scare the crap out of them."
"Whatcha mean near?"
"Have you ascended? No? Then you're not a Chisva."
"I think we know some one who would disagree."
"He's insane. And besides, he can't touch us anymore."

Attn:  All Cadets.... as soon as you are processed, report to your assigned rooms.  Follow directions in your packets, crew and officers will direct you as nessisary.  They will not assist you with your luggage.
Upon arrival in your rooms, your are ordered to strap in for lift-off.

All crew, officers, instructors, diplomatic corps, marines, and shipboard guests.  Report to your assigned lift off stations as soon as you have herded the cadets to their quarters.

All cadets, after liftoff and insertion to warp drive, report to hanger bay 1 of initial briefing.  At that time you will meet the senior officers, instructors, and our special guests. Uniform of the day will be dress whites...that is all

Phoneix, begin liftoff preperations

After that, All WAN Head Commanders head to HQ.

and then we can start teaching these new wannabe officers what it is like on a real ship.  Full ship board briefing will commence after we depart HQ, and into warp.

Phoneix, here is our scheduled route for the next few months.  We have 47 stops so far, and I know HQ will be adding to our list

I told u about the Bozo Ship I encountered in the sub space distortian.  Well We now know why and what it was.

WAN HQ has informed me that there is a Fleet of Geneticly Engineered Bozo'z heading this way.  

Now that all the Head Commanders are here, please head directly to the HQ Command Room.
