Season 11, Episode 5: "Vheiransch" Report
General Summary
Vheiransch and Pazzoedioth opened fire on the Dream Team, aided by semi-solid holograms and grenades launched from Crow's hiding place. Pillars swirling in quantum superposition began to pull the crew away from each other, their enemies beginning to pick them off as they switched onto the defensive. Despite several decent hits to the Sivv commander's hide, he seemed to be caught in a state of there-and-not-again, resisting the brunt of most attacks and avoiding those he could not.
Running straight for the computer console at the end of the chamber, Lockette confirmed that Vheiransch was the Tinker she had sensed since Ark Prime's arrival, and that he was using a set of Tinker Tools to control the starship and live within this special state of existence. Seeking to turn the tide, Isra and the foul Tinker clashed wills, invoking her abilities as a Transform in an attempt to tear Vheiransch from his ethereal shields.
But the Sivv turned the power against her, causing Isra to drop into an alternate dimension of the command chamber where the Starstone's power did not flow, and where a horrifying monstrosity waited for her — the source of the fear that had plagued them all along the road. The Dark Walkers leapt from the shadows, clearly looking to kill Isra before she could flee, but were halted by hope, powerful boons, and a mysterious friend... Flashing back to Vheiransch's side, Isra tore the creature out of his superposition, and the heavy hitters honed in on their enemies.
Invoking his legendary nature, Masamune tore his way up and down Pazzoedioth's spine, splitting her open from neck to tail just as Lockette disabled the ship's defenses, and the rest of the Dream Team unloaded everything they had into Vheiransch's location. The Sivv died in a cloud of data, his body beginning to pour into the central console of Ark Prime, only for Lockette to tear away his Tinker Tools and take control of the ship — corrupting the Sivv's data and destroying him once and for all. The crew sighed as Ark Prime shut down, a more docile AI taking over to put its ships and drones in a slumbering state, and calling for its living troops to retreat.
But before the revelry could spread all the lights on Ark Prime went dark, as magic nullified and energy began to pull away from the starship, and back into the core of Absalom Station. Then a vision slammed into the party's heads, as the Haze called out somber warning (see Blown-out Joy From Heaven's Mercied Hole).

Notes
Mist tanked a dragon, but that's really hard to fit into a simple narrative, so I have been coerced to put that fact down here.
