Ghost ship.. Finally: Ghost-Shadows

Part one, Part two, Part three , Part four I sat in the waiting room.. Feeling a bit loss. Dr Chambers was in the med lab trying to say Shiara's life... Funny once I thought I didn't much need a familiar, now I feel different. Alwyn walked up and I looked at him... "Anything?" He asked and I nodded negatively... He at beside me, "That Max fellow has been going through the ruins and glyphs in the vids... We know where Azu'ha'du is.... The good Dr has her job, we need to do ours.." He left and finally I stood and began to walk to the bridge... Captain Gideon joined me... "How is the girl?" "I do not know.." I say "Galen, Why didn't you say anything..." Before my friend could finish I flashed him a look "A Wizard's relationship with his familiar is a private matter.." I watched as he nodded and decided not to pursue As we came to the bridge the Lt glance back with his report... "We are approaching something... " "LT, can you be more specific?" I ask... He gave this wtf look at the screen, "I wish I could..." We all looked at the viewer... "We are being dragged in..." one officer yelled.... The ship whines and cussed with its metal as I received a Techno-message from Alwyn who was right next to me... Techno-message to Galen from Alwyn --- Do you feel it? Shadow tech! My old friend was right this had to be the Gate to Azu'ha'du... Now the Shadows had left for beyond the rim but we had no way to know what they left behind... Techno-message to Alwyn from Galen --- Except for the cure for the Drakh Plague, no other Shadow tech can be retrieve... It is too dangerous and MUST be destroyed... You will provide the smoke screen.. I will ensure the technologies are in fact destroyed... I would have to especially watch Maximilian, IPX would do anything to get Shadow Tech... Within we found a planet... and Drakh ships... "Matthew, don't get too close we do not want them to see us... Take the Excalibur here... We will have to fly with shuttles to the planet... Alwyn and I will try to use our magic to cloak us." I instruct... On the planet the base was fully operational... This I knew was not good... We had several squads of armed military Earth Forces... Matthew, Alwyn and myself... With the Drakh presence it was too dangerous to bring any others... Either Alwyn or I would transmit anything we find for Mr Eilerson or Dr Tombs who was sitting in for Dr Chambers to examine... Techno-message to Alwyn from Galen --- I should go solo... Stay with Matthew and be careful.. Remember they can turn your tech off... It was time for me to set up to destroy this piece of Darkness... Techno-message to Galen from Alwyn --- Don't worry about me boy.. What about you? I smiled.... As I faded in the shadow and disappeared from the group Techno-message to Alwyn from Galen --- You forget my tech has been freed... I will monitor you and the others... Once I was away I use the spell that covered my skin in Shadow Skin... In my head I could hear the others conversation.... Matthew Gideon sounded annoyed, "Galen?" Where did he go?" Alwyn was serious, "It is quite rude to ask a Mage about his business... " He then chuckled, "We technomages work best alone... I will remain to ensure your safety..." I worked in and out of rooms... Using the Spell of Destruction which I had been forbidden to ever use to destroy the Shadows Tech.. I kept my eye out on any sign of the cure or what would be terrible more of that damn Plague... I entered a center room, nearly missing a Drakh, it was as I had feared, they were loading up more of the Plague... If I sent probes to see if among it was the cure I would alert the Drakh, they would sense the energy of my Tech... Just then a cat brushed up against me and Shiara transformed to herself... "What are you doing here?" I asked.. She didn't look well.. She looked pale... She looked at me, "I am your familiar, you need me..." I began to argue and she raised her hand, "remember what I told you about my amulet.. With it you can see through my eyes and hear through my ears... It isn't Shadow Tech, like your tech so they wont detect it... Not on me or on you... You can't get closer they will sense your tech but I am not a Technomage... " She took the form of a Blurinean rat and scampered into the ships... Grasping the amulet I summoned the image.. Seeing what she saw... To my dismay the ship was full of the Plague but nothing of the cure... A Drakh spoke, "The anti-dote has been removed. Our previous masters must have took it with them.." The Head Drakh laughed, "No fool.. They never created an anti-dote... If we were foolish to get infected we deserved death... The only race to create one, an ancient race disappeared 900 years ago... I doubt they will find the Angeriels." I instructed Shiara to return..... I waited for the ship to launch and then with the Spell of Destruction I destroyed it... As I feared the big Explosion alarmed the Drakh... Techno-message to Alwyn from Galen --- There is no cure here!! Get out I am destroying the base! I hear Alwyn tell the others to go now, to leave and Laser fire.... Shiara turns into a large Vreetan tiger and I ride on her back toward the shuttles where Matthew and Alwyn are pinned down.... Shiara turns into a Shadow, (I wasn't aware she could do that...) She distracted the Drakh and we were able to eliminate them. After we boarded and was in flight, I discreetly cast the Spell of destruction on the whole base... It disappears with a loud thunder claps... "What the HELL!" Matthew stood... "Galen! What the..." I played the transmission of the Drakh leader... and then bore a serious look into Matthew, "They had more of the Plague, it had to be destroyed... Don't you agree!" "You?" he then calmly asked... "Perhaps... Perhaps not.." I suggest and sit back... As the Excalibur leaves, Azu'ha'du, I again use the spell of Destruction and destroy the gate... Dr Chambers tells me that Shiara will recover but needs rest so While the Excalibur is at Babylon 5, I have decided to go with Shiara to this Christmas Party...
