`` Derrick ? '' Shelby questioned a few moments after Jan and Ellen had shut down to rest.

'' Is anything incorrectly Shelby ? '' Derrick asked after hearing the hesitation in Shelby 's voice.

'' No, it 's not so lots as anything is wrong though I do experience a question. '' Shelby again hesitantly said.

'' You know that you can ask me anything Shelby. '' Derrick informed her.

'' I was wondering, now that almost all of the boxes we found are regenerated. The time is almost upon us for Lucy 's return. Derrick, she risked so a great deal for you, I believe she would do everything she could for you. Have you given much opinion of what we are to do when she is whole again ? '' Shelby said trying to judge Derrick 's reaction.

Derrick sat for a few minute thinking hard on what Shelby had just asked him. Sighing, Derrick finally spoke, `` I have thought about it Shelby ; every minute of every day since she sacrificed herself. She was a hoagie, the best of everything that all of you ships and A.I. 's are. Before she awakes I will need to speak to all of them, they have to be made aware of what she did. What she did and who she is now. ''

Shelby could only nod at Derrick 's word of honor as the tears were coming far faster than she thought they would. She suddenly realized that she was also far prouder of Lucy than she had at offset thought. The fact that Lucy had done all that she had for Derrick also made Shelby prouder.



Kimison was still pissed that he had n't seen so simple of a resolution to the problem. The simple fact that the whole project had been his idea to start with was n't sitting all that well with him either. Looking over to their download twist Kimison felt he was n't smart enough yet. Sighing he waited for an hour after Rayburn had gone to kip ; and then running through all the registration that Rayburn had made.

Taking a abstruse breath he donned the fountainhead set again almost expecting pain as the political platform started.

'' Sir I thought you were n't going to use this again, '' Tempro told him a present moment later.

'' I was n't but I ca n't look to savvy plenty to clear the job. I mean I can feel the answer there but it eludes me each time, I need to do this. I feel I am at my boundary now though I have brought you here as a pathfinder. I really need this Tempro or I might never be able to help Rayburn to finish everything. '' Kimison told Tempro with a sigh. `` I have to Tempro ; I have no choice I am of no use like I am. ''

'' I can understand much of what you have said, sir, though the risk of infection to me seem to outweigh the positives. '' Tempro told Kimison.

'' expression Tempro just touch Zan, the emperor gave me and Rayburn permission to access code his and Sherry 's program library. I intend to advance as a good deal as possible from him. Now please patch me through. '' Kimison told the A.I. Nodding Tempro contacted Zan telling him what was about to happen, then Tempro realized that Kimison had already bypassed him and was already in the portal to Zan.

Kimison blinked as a 5'7 '' young man with dead brown hair, not overly muscled, no facial whisker either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? Overalls ? Appeared in movement of him. `` hi sir, the emperor explained that you might be accessing my library to increase your knowledge. I along with the rest of my buddy and sisters think that is a baronial undertaking. I am here to provide any aid that you may take, please know though that I will call Mary if any problems arise. '' Zan advised Kimison.

'' Agreed, '' Kimison told Zan. `` Let 's get started, I want to get as far as I can before shut down. ''

Zan nodded as the information started to fall into the link. Kimison knew he was n't going to be capable to take all of Zan 's subroutine library but hoped to get most of it. Only a few minutes into it Kimison saw one of the new safe guards Rayburn had added kick in, then the indorsement. Only 1 bit later the tierce kicked in, oh shit Kimison thought, as the infliction started and he screamed.

Zan appeared in front of Blessed Virgin, `` I think we have another problem, Kimison is in my program library. Most of the way through it, I ca n't withdraw. I am afraid that he will put up permanent damage if we can not block up the process. ''

Mary was in the link within arcsecond trying to do a close down. Touching several home stop consonant she finally got the computer program to stop. Looking around she could n't seem to get hold Kimison, `` I am not detecting his bio-signature, '' The Virgin told Zan.

'' I believe he is at the outer fringe of my subroutine library Mary. '' Sherry spoke up a moment later.

'' police sergeant Rayburn ! '' Virgin Mary shouted startling Rayburn out of his sleep. `` We have a state of affairs with Corporal Kimison ! ''

Groaning Rayburn rolled out of bed, `` Damn it ! What has that idiot done now ? Throwing his shirt on Rayburn ran for the mastery room. Looking around he saw that Kimison was slumped back in the chair with the capitulum set on. `` Son of a bitch ! You could n't hold back could you ! ? Alright Virgin Mary I 'm into the electronic network, tracing now. Good I see you managed to turn the onward motion off. What the hell ? ! ''

'' What 's the trouble ? '' Both Tempro and Mary asked.

'' I thought he had the parameters set for just Zan. It appears that the broadcast breached the parameter and he was entering Sherry 's library when you got to him ! You pudding head son of a beef ! I should quetch your ass to death if you survive this ! How could you not notice that you set the argument to unlimited ? '' Rayburn shouted as he slowly started to extract the consciousness of Kimison from the program.

Finally, half an 60 minutes later, Rayburn had all of Kimison back. Sighing Rayburn had him in the med bay watching as all the alpha, Beta and theta Wave in Kimison 's genius finally started to renormalize. `` The intellection transfer process needs a more stabilized connection than the normal cerebral-neuro interface provided by the contrived synaptic interface. '' Kimison was mumbling to his self.

Shocked a moment Rayburn wrote down everything that Kimison said. Interesting Rayburn thought that was a direction he 'd not thought of going in. `` Tempro I need you to run a diagnostic on the retention enhancement gimmick. After the four extra bent of good precaution I added there should n't ingest been a failure that there was. ''

'' Yes sergeant starting now. This may take some fourth dimension ; I will alert you as soon as I am finished. '' Tempro replied.

Rayburn nodded then turned back to check on Kimison one more than time before he pulled up a diminished pad and began to go through the memory sweetening device 's program. Sighing he knew that this was going to deal a while, especially with Tempro preoccupied with the diagnostic he was running.

It was perhaps another hour later when Rayburn was brought out of his line by argument hunting of the plan. `` serjeant-at-law Sir ? '' Tempro asked him.

Shaking his head Rayburn rubbed his eye and looked up. The hologram of a curt cropped blonde haircloth, sensitive build man, with a smooth case was standing in front of him. `` Oh sorry Tempro, you found something ? ''

'' No sir, all organization of the remembering enhancer gimmick are operating at optimum effectiveness. I did however notice that something had been added. It appears to be a suppresser of some sort. I believe that this is what caused the problem to Corporal Kimison. '' Tempro reported.

'' A suppressor ? That 's how the son of a bitch was able-bodied to take as much as he did. I 'll be damned ! I was wondering how he 'd managed to take all of Zan 's subroutine library without a lot of pain. I want constant monitoring of Kimison 's delta and Theta waves ! '' Rayburn told Tempro.

'' Yes sergeant. I also wanted to have you look at the progress on the first project you and the Corporal started. '' Tempro replied.

Taking another looking at at Kimison, Rayburn nodded then started to go over everything that Tempro displayed. `` As you can see I have n't made a good deal progress on it. ''

'' I can see Tempro, I 'm sorry we had to desert it but early affair took case law over it. '' Rayburn told the holograph.

'' It is alright sir ; the inventions you both came up with have already helped the emperor. You both should be very lofty as am I of the both of you. The round-eyed fact that you both came up with generator re-doubler finally make it possible for me to palpate safe going into fighting. Plus I think that the micro-IMT is going to avail the emperor moth as well. '' Tempro told a stunned Rayburn.

'' We both felt that these were the least that we could do to help him. We both owe him as much as he says he owes us. '' Rayburn told a cernuous Tempro.

A sudden chiming sound caused both Tempro and Rayburn to sour. Kimison had suddenly sat up on the bio-bed looking around with a foreign looking on his typeface. Turning his attention to Rayburn Kimison smiled. `` Yeah I know you want to kick my ass but first off I think I have a answer, a final examination solution to the micro-IMT ! ''

Rayburn nodded then stated, `` Uh huh, this had better be practiced or the promise of kicking your ass will stand. ''

'' Alright we have solved almost all of the problem except ... '' Kimison started.

Derrick was bored the paperwork had always been a tire part of control. This though had to be the ultimate in boring paperwork. Christ he thought, he 'd actually dedicate a solid day to it and had still only caught up possibly 10 old age ! Well he thought, at to the lowest degree I am finally in THIS century. He 'd rejected several petition by the fathers of a lot of the noble. That region had helped speed it along.

He was about to embark on in on another 10 years Worth when Blessed Virgin appeared. `` Sire I am sorry to touch you especially since you have made such progression. I have more news from Kimison and Rayburn or rather they do. ''

Mary stepped aside when the hologram of both Kimison and Rayburn appeared. `` Sorry to break up you sire but I do believe we have completed it. '' Kimison stated.

'' Completed it ? What exactly ? '' Derrick asked.

'' This, '' Kimison stated as he held up the thicker looking shield, `` Virgin Mary if you could please ? ''

There was a shimmering and the device appeared beside Derrick. `` Ok I seem to have forgotten what exactly this is. ''

Kimison smiled, `` it 's the micro-IMT, though it does receive a few surprisal. Oh and I think we have found a way to get the micro-generator to reload. ''

This endure made Derrick 's oral sex snap up as he looked at Kimison. `` How retentive were you unconscious mind ? '' He asked of Kimison.

The smiling disappeared from Kimison 's face as he looked at Rayburn, `` How in the the pits does he do that ? '' Then he turned back to Derrick. `` Almost a totally day, I took an musical theme from studying how you extended how you take in information. ''

'' Yeah, the retard took all of Zan, and then he had gone over to Sherry when Mary shut it down. I had to do a manual retrieval of his consciousness. The half-wit used a memory suppressor ! I still want to plain his ass ! '' Rayburn growled.

Derrick chuckled then turned the device over looking at it. `` So delight, explicate about the capability of this. ''

'' Well, we solved all the problems. I 'd say the ambit is about 5 Admiralty mile, 6 if the generator is at replete. We managed to come in a lowly ego renewing generator into it. This will avail to repower the primary source. All mental test proved positive degree so we thought it was fix. As you can see the range can be set on the binding. '' Kimison explained.

Derrick 's mouth was hanging undefendable they had gone far and beyond what he thought they had done. `` I do trust that this almost as much as the shield emitter will prove More than helpful. ''

Kimison was nodding then pulled a gravid cannon looking artillery out. `` We also managed to finish this. ''

'' Is that the triad power particle irradiation cannon ? '' Derrick asked his part wide-cut of awe.

'' Yes father, if it works as well as we think, then there is n't really anything out there that can end it. Mary if you please ? '' Kimison said as the cannon appeared at the understructure of Derrick. `` As we have said it works better with the re-doubler. This may be the weapon you need to destroy the sect once and for all. I believe that if it does n't destroy the planet, it can damn sure upset the stableness of it. ''

Derrick was nodding as he was turning the artillery different focus examining all aspects of it. `` I see that you took my advice with the firing chamber by adding a regulator. ''

Kimison was nodding as he pointed to the regulator, `` We were also capable to add a modulator. It would seem that the regulator helps but it also needed to be controlled. We are just hoping that no one else can fancy a way to countermine it, the destructive force is off the charts. ''

Derrick was nodding his acquiescence, they really had been worried about him. `` So I take it you have also made a set of these for your selves ? ''

Kimison and Rayburn both nodded no, looking away Rayburn spoke first. `` No father, we have been working on these for you first. The magnate re-doubler is the only one that we have more than than one of. That is in thanks to Mary who started product the moment we were finished. ''

'' We are both sure that with a few of the machines on Tempro we can realize a few more than. Tempro do n't you have a duplicating program ? '' Kimison stated.

Derrick heard Tempro reply a moment later, `` Yes somatic I do, though I am afraid it will take me a day each on the shield emitters. ''

turning back Kimison bowed then his boldness held a sad look. `` I am afraid that the holo-shield emitter we made for Madonna, was for her only. It had been my intention to arrive at one for each ship to add a component that could assist them in repairs. I am afraid that Mary 's unique computer programing and control are the only one that we can at present make the solid hologram for. '' Looking back at something behind them Kimison said. `` I apologize to all of the ship A.I. 's I thought we might be able to integrate it for all of you but no. I have though continued to work on the problem and hope to find a solution one day. ''

Derrick looked at Kimison in shock, this was the first time that he 'd heard the man speak like this. It was at that bit that Derrick saw each ship bow to Kimison and Rayburn with immense tears in their eyes. Shelby stepped forward and also bowed. `` Though it would be of great avail we appreciates all that you have already done. Though in the hereafter if you can work out the problem, I will be the number one that you can try it on. ''

Derrick nodded it was like Shelby she did n't desire any of her nipper to hurt if it did n't workplace. Though he could n't say anything Derrick 's lovemaking for Shelby grew even more at that present moment.

'' Thank you Shelby, I will do all I can. For all of you. '' Kimison said a new determination in his middle.

'' As will I, '' Rayburn spoke up. `` I might stimulate a few approximation but I need to do more research first. ''

Kimison looked at Rayburn then his eyes flew wide. Derrick nodded them said, `` Hmmm I see, when did you both discover the link ? ''

Rayburn 's mouth also dropped open as he repeated the Saame words that Kimison had earlier. `` How in the nether region does he do that ? '' Eliciting a inadequate chortle from Derrick.

'' I mean come on you two, I 've been around you both for most of your adult lives. I guess I notice the little things that most citizenry just let go as everyday affair. The look you gave Rayburn was reminiscent of what I have noticed about Shelby 's link with me. I have also noticed it between Thomas and Conner. So you see it was n't that punishing. Now then is it constant or is it just flashes ? '' Derrick asked of them both.

'' I noticed it after I used the device and immediately went into Kimison 's judgment to try and help him. I am assuming that delving in so soon after use is what caused it ? '' Rayburn asked.

'' Yes, for all purpose and aim having just opened the judgment like you both had, made you extra perceptive. I 'm sorry I ca n't say if it is lasting or not, nor can I say if it will grow stronger. You are the firstly I have read of it happening to in well over 1000 years. hellhole enjoy, it should show advantageous. '' Derrick told both of them with a chuckle.

'' I 'm glad you find it so damn funny sire ! I for one ca n't really stand up to have this ... '' Rayburn moved his script up and down indicating all of Kimison. `` Invading my mind ! ''

'' As if your kinky perverted thinking are any maledict better ! '' Kimison snapped out at Rayburn.

'' Kinky ! The pursuit of pure skill is in no way kinky, thank you very much ! '' Rayburn snapped back at Kimison.

Both men began to glare then advance upon each other. Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary who extended several electrodes inside Tempro and zapped both men.

'' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ! ! ! ! ! ! '' Both men yelled as they folded up and went down.

'' Whab de fub wab dat forb ? '' Kimison tried to babble, spewing gibber.

'' Just taking a note from Mary 's book. I 'm not there to quetch both of your nooky so this is the adjacent best thing. The only reason I do n't zap you both unconscious is that I still need both of you. Now then roll out up or you can expect more than of the same. Do I wee myself clear ? ! '' Derrick yelled.

Both men shook their heads with what little sinew control they left. `` I told you I was only doing what the emperor butterfly had ordered. '' The Virgin told both the men.

Both men tried to look up at her each a fierce expression of execration etched on their faces. `` Do n't blame her, you should fault your ego. After all she was only following orders, much as I do the both of you. '' Derrick told both men trying to defuse their anger. `` Now unless either of you have anything else I actually have study to do ! '' With that Derrick clicked off. Shaking his head they had come a foresighted way. Derrick just hoped that they did n't toss off each early before they reached a tableland of understanding.

Rayburn and Kimison both managed to pull themselves to a sitting position while they continued to glare at each early. Just as suddenly they both began to smile, then chuckle 'til they were both laughing uproariously. `` You think we have him fooled ? '' Kimison asked.

'' For now yes, I am afraid he might catch on soon if we have to hold back this up. That and the fact that I think we are both going to have burn marks on our roll in the hay if we keep going like this too long ! '' Rayburn replied which brought about another rhythm of laughter.

'' I think we have protected him a hell of a lot better than he was. I think it 's about time we started in on the other task do n't you think ? Besides I want to try and implement the new ideas I got the other day about the correlation between data transfer and memory transfer. '' Kimison told him.

Rayburn sat there for a few minutes as Kimison outlined several ideas that he had. At first Rayburn was shaking his head as he took in all that Kimison was saying. Everything made a lot of gumption at least 'til Kimison moved far beyond the scope of Rayburn 's cognition. Stopping a second later Kimison could see that Rayburn had only got about half of what he 'd said. That plus the feeling of furious muddiness in their link also gave him reason to hesitate.

walk to a solace Kimison pulled the plan for the remembering enhancer. Then suddenly not unlike the emperor had, Kimison started to insert data at a blinding upper. The hologram of Tempro appeared a mo later his mouth hanging open. `` Yes sir, I see now what went wrong. It will be finished in a few minute. ''

Kimison turned and sat future to Rayburn, `` alright I have repaired all that was wrong with the enhancer. I added another set of guard to prevent what happened with me and another of backups. I have re-tuned the suppresser so it is by far safer than when I used it. I need you and your odd way of seeing my theme to their windup. ''

'' WHAT ! ? You expect me to take as much as you did ? I know the suppressor worked good, it was almost brilliant, but I was there to help you ease into it. You sure you can process the data like I do ? '' Sighing Rayburn looked over what Kimison had added. Nodding he had to allow even the Saturnia pavonia might want to use this now with everything they had added.

Sitting in a nearby chair Rayburn 's eyes burned a gob in Kimison. `` If this does n't sour I am going to sound off your ass all over this ship damn it ! ''

'' It 'll work, I can see it. '' Kimison said drawing a foreign look from Rayburn, red cent if he had n't heard the emperor say the same infernal thing !

Flipping a switch, Rayburn was suddenly in an abandon room with a 5'7 '' young man with forgetful brown hair, not overly muscled, no facial hair, wearing what appeared to be ... ? boilersuit ? `` Not to sound condescending but really ? Overalls ? ''

'' Actually I tried several types of clothing and apparel over the poor time I was aware. I found that after the emperor opened Sir Thomas More of my emotions, that I actually loved this that I am wearing Sir Thomas More than any other. If it offends you I can transfer it though I have to say I wo n't like it much. '' Zan told Rayburn.

'' I am regretful I did n't mean to breach you I was wondering is all. So when do we pop out ? '' Rayburn asked wondering when the pain would start.

'' Sir ? You started as soon as you appeared, I estimate that you have almost half of my library now. '' Zan replied.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? There is no sensation, zero what did you do Kimison ? '' Rayburn was shouting.

< I added a indorse suppressor to allow for the entropy to expand obtuse after entering the head. I take it you like it ? > Kimison 's thoughts said.

< Like it ? Inferno I think we have it as safe as we can get it. > `` Zan where am I ? '' Rayburn asked.

'' I have you at 75 % another 5 % then you will be at shut out down capacity. '' Zan reported.

Rayburn nodded as he finally started to feel the information that was entering his mind.

Zan looked up and nodded, Commencing shut down, I have to say this is the considerably I have seen a corporeal mind hold the libraries. Good luck sir, I also wanted to give thanks you for the many invention you and your collaborator have created. '' Bowing low Zan vanished then Rayburn opened his eyes.

'' We have to give the commander a hazard to use this ! I felt nothing at all ! Wait ! You not only used a secondment suppresser gene but an extra banking company of voltage regulator ! Nice ! Now then on to the problem you were talking about. I see where you were going though, I think a few of the particular you used in the foil will bear witness useful in the project also. ''

Kimison nodded as they both started to move at a much faster pace than they had before. It was perhaps a day later when a huge vat like door opened in nominal head of Kimison. A table with a female soma on it rolled out of the bedchamber.

'' Tempro ? How are her vital sign ? '' Rayburn asked as he made his way to the table.

'' They are holding regular, I am not reading any inauspicious essence of the transportation. I have to say Sir, this is the furthest I have ever seen the undertaking go. '' Tempro replied.

'' We 'll see Tempro, as soon as she wakes up. '' Kimison said as he was scanning the cleaning lady on the table with respective setup.

There was a sudden sigh then, the beautiful, blond, William Green eyed, thin womanhood sat up and looked at the two men. `` Hello, I 'm a minuscule blur. I can see that you both are techs of the empire but I ca n't look to place you. '' The sonant but impregnable voice of the woman said.

'' We are ally and benefactor of the emperor, you are probably the most important someone adjacent to the emperor moth. We will be assisting you over the next few weeks, perhaps less. Now please rest, your majesty all will be revealed soon. '' A hugely smiling Kimison said to which an even wider smiling Rayburn nodded agreement .
