How it all ends...
Thank Yous: NS, Star, Cobb and Derv for helping out with select portions of the fic and looking it over here and there as I went. :) Much appreciated, guys (and gal)!
Special Thanks: NightShift, for helping me put together the enhanced version of the fic. It wouldn't be possible without his assistance and expertise. :) Please be sure to thank him for the help. Thanks millions, bro!
