Vash turned and walked back onto the bridge of the Diana " We failed Adam a large part of Irnash Is still heading for your planet. Hopefully the gravity of any planets it will pass on the way, may alter it's course but we believe they will not. We think it will impact the region you call Australia, we have slowed it considerably but it will still hit your Earth".
Adam showed Vash a Computer Pad " We already saw that Vash we have come to the same conclusion, it should impact in 2 months at its present speed .

We have estimated its mass at approximately 150,000,000 metric tonnes speed 127,000 kilometer an hour and the core is of an undetermined composition ".
Vash looked at the pad " Yes we are in agreement, the core is made of Aunk a metal harder than your Diamond and Highly Radioactive, even if your weapons hit it the debris would still impact your Earth making it un-inhabitable.
This data indicates it will hit and in doing so will have enough impact momentum to crack your Planets upper mantel, causing a massive implosion of your Earths core. But if you destroy it the radiation on your planet will last for thousands of years, and no life will be able to survive there."

Diana and the Pashitz were now ready to return to Earths system, as they sped the miles between the galaxies they passed the Irnash Asteroid, knowing there was nothing they could do to stop it.
The only possible way to survive now was the Ark ships, they had to be ready it was the Human races only chance.
Whilst in flight constant updates of the asteroid were being taken, Adam was on the bridge when Vash approached him with a computer tablet " You should see this Captain ".
Vash only called him Captain when it was serious news, Vash and Adam contacted the General and told him of a new situation that was now becoming evident.
"Your sure that this is the only chance now Vash, to evacuate and look for another Planet to settle on ".
Vash took the Microphone off Adam and spoke quietly " I am afraid it is so General and the only way now is to beam the survivors into stasis and I suggest you don't tell them ".
Asterholm was startled by what Vash had just said he had always said that it would be a personal decision for those who wanted to avoid stasis.
"Did I hear you correct Vash Don't tell them, why so when it was you who said they had a choice". Vash looked at David and handed him the microphone "You should tell him Adam now " . Adam held his breath and said " Sir we have just done some recalculations of Irnash, and its trajectory, the present course takes it past Jupiter. As it does then Jupiter's gravitaional effect will exert a greater pull on the Asteroid as it approaches, accelerating its speed by a factor of Ten Sir. You will have two weeks until Irnash strikes Earth not two months as we first thought ".
The silence was deafening " My God I see I understand if they knew the panic would be ", the General stopped mid sentence " I agree Vash we do not say anything we just do a total beam out.
Can the chack computer you left us handle such a feat successfully, " Vash turned to speak to his science officer forgetting for an instant he was not on the Pashitz, he looked at Adam who moved his head to one side in the gesture of expecting an answer. " Truthfully General I would hope so but to be honest I don't know, the Vamchack on the Pashitz can easily accomplish the task, of that I am sure and the one we left with you is of the same type, so yes General I believe it will ".
