Derrick was moving through the entree way toward the chief section of the shipyard. Ahead to his right Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. Sergeant first class Daniel Jessye Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two sentry go in a received patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to charter them quietly no noise. Shaking his head he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiesce as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guards away with little to no noise.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the thick security doorway. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the door clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to disperse out looking for any Sir Thomas More sentry duty. Shaking his school principal Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship K had been infiltrated by some really bad fibre. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an blowup on the exaltation as it moved away from the ship yard.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be plagiarist again in the main hallway. So far the scans had indicated 30 men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the composition had said that 30 dead body had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the building complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their foe had tripled their safeguard. ‘ Damn'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at least eight out here, and another eight at the next colligation. mightiness get one set of them not sure as shooting about both. '' Jessye Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the last two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry commandant. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the the great unwashed from the transport were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to form a move when an alarm clock went off.

'' What 's with all the damn stochasticity ? '' A large man with several scratch on his older face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most guard idle sir, '' came the vocalization of a young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! Leave three here with me, ought to be adequate to control these frighten pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the spinal column of the paries picking their stead. Taking a deep breathing time Derrick knew that this side by side part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.

All four of the pirates whirled toward where they had heard the vociferation. `` They are in here with us ! '' The erstwhile scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the way he said, `` You 're short you piece of SOB ! ''

rush toward the wall, the leader only heard the low then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the room with a hole in it. A instant later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's drained whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one charge as the man was falling back with a trap in the position of his head.

Derrick ran out to check out on Shiloh and Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their mouths hanging open. `` Sir ? '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have troupe. I want you and allot to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their spine.

Grant snapped to aid as did Shiloh. `` Will do sir ! '' Duncan James Corrow Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the candid wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a better position. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivor ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim reply.

'' Happy to clean up the foulness. '' Norman said with a smile.

The side by side ten minute could only be described as a blood Bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. Unable to see their targets the final few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by several well placed barb.

A speech sound Derrick had n't heard in a hanker time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.

'' commandant ? '' Came the vocalism of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a instant later.

'' Just wanted to let you bed that we are untroubled. The married woman and four child were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.

'' wife and four children ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to fulfill them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. beshrew it ! Why in the the pits had n't he thought that they might be married AND have tike. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.

'' trusted Commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to re-start the plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, good then I 'll get to run into all of them. '' Derrick said through loaded drawn lip. `` At to the lowest degree I hope I get to assemble all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to fulfill the man she says kept me alive to issue forth back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' wellspring, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a lead of laughter in his part. Looking up Derrick 's nerve was suddenly grim as he nodded. beshrew it ! They had so niggling sentence !

turning toward both Jessye Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all Hell gap loose. I really do n't require to be here when the fire warden arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get open enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

'' Are we in danger air force officer ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't retrieve so as long as we are away before the prison term. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we possess to sir ? Ca n't we just write them all ? '' Gregory John Norman said with a grim face.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather retain it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd hate for others to recall I was changing their and my yesteryear. No I have to hold on matter as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big jeopardy taking Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with expectant eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes Sire, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's cerebration.

[ `` estimable mail them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic part appeared. [ `` cooking stove, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear signal for at to the lowest degree 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough length to render minimal hurt. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's tyke, and then a slender Asian looking woman walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so glad to finally foregather you sir. '' The charwoman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the fair sex. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the next few hours are n't too very much of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the sixteen and fourteen year old Son of the char. A ten twelvemonth old boy was hiding further back walking out when his female parent called him.

Derrick shook his drumhead there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the Male on the cover as he moved toward where Shiloh and Grant were in the statement of the ship.

Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Shiloh said.

Looking down President Grant stated. `` We should be make to go in half an hr. Can we founder you and your men a drive ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a storm look.

'' I know when more than one stroke is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two blastoff from two unlike steering. Hell if I did n't sleep with dependable I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's out of the question as they both are all in. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alert and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a part of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Grant and Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to assemble the syndicate. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some alright boy Lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't meet a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four children when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got encompassing then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You honorable not be in the plasma nuclear reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be properly back. ''

'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our paths cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breathing spell. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to acquire him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are unclouded. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. start out away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to tread out of the ship crosshatch. `` It would only take a bit ; do you really ingest to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six foot two inch peak. `` I 'll fulfill her one day deputy, I suggest no affair what happens in the future few 60 minutes ? You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a face of surprise and worry on his aspect as he thanked the commander. Hurrying past Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor way as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something deep in what the air force officer said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the nuclear reactor room watching the engineer.

His hands on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the feel on her father 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out new lady ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told her with a unappeasable look on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's facial expression held was about to cause battle of Shiloh to laugh. He knew all her illusion though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a skillful thing to agree over your head do n't you opine ? '' Gunter said a minor smiling belittled smile on his lips.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his capitulum as he touched the dark whorl on her drumhead. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his helping hand on his Chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your mental lexicon and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! Come on let 's go get you strapped in with your pal and female parent we 're about to leave. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the air force officer 's death watchword came back to him. [ deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hour. You hold that little young woman tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't excite the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to maledict much a coincidence that the Commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the ascendency elbow room Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't reserve her in there. '' Came her response.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange touch sensation. I have n't had one like this in a long prison term go sentence was with the commanding officer also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his married woman.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can get word almost fear in your vox ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not sure, thing just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her close hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled looking at. Almost the same thing that the Commander had said !

Making his way to the ascendency room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the picayune girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the process to undock then leave.

'' Levels look effective, all hatches closed, all SEAL good. No ruptures, no loss of ambiance. Now backing out, gear up when you are sir. '' Grant told him.

Shiloh was about to activate the engine when he noticed they were still a little close to the station. `` Mr. Ulysses Grant I suggest we put more than than a simple thousand km between us and the station. Did you notify the commando of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no liaison. '' Grant told him.

Something was nagging at battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's learning ability more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the station. The muscularity he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger command. This is channelise R-00101. Do you read me Ranger command ? ''

A mo later there was a crackle as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. Repeat you -- - -- - high gear -- -- - domain. '' Came the frail sounding staticky signal.

'' Command we we 're attacked by literary pirate. Please send help to old infinite grand OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Ulysses S. Grant said. `` horseshit ca n't seem to get through. speculation we need to get farther away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometer and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine ascendency battle of Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his judgment broke free !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the ascendancy chairman. Damn it he hated to look like this ! `` clip ? ''

'' Information says that the ship exploded five transactions from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the station. `` 4000 km, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficulty retrieving the last two ! Sire I am afraid I am going to recede them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the control condition remark key display panel as he was typing faster than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would cut my IMT out completely. It would require at least a week to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't fall back them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's eyes had bust in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT absolute frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one 20, one thirty five. Now at one fifty dollar bill. ''

'' I have them sire the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to fall from her heart. `` I 'm no-count Derrick I have no More. I can experience the arrangement starting to fail. ''

Derrick heard a distant explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you alright ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will get to regen for a prison term. I 'm no-good I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the floor near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his weapon system wrapped tightly around a nine year old girlfriend.

The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to inflame her father up. `` pop, please wake up ! I 'm no-account I was in engineering again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the piddling female child asked, `` Can you please help my pa ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little girl staring at the topographic point he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his face.

'' Of course Mr., '' the lilliputian girl said as a unknown facial expression came over her look. `` It 's a post for the attention of the infirm, sick, or injured ; hospital or facility serving as a infirmary. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be formula though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please trace Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is daddy going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as papa was reaching to do something with the control. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was muted. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the footling young woman following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly move. A lilliputian female child 's giggle drew his attention to the former slope of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the small girl threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to lessen from her eye. `` I was so scared I was going to lose you ! ''

'' I feel o.k., where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' wellspring, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite group imperial beard protector ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed century ago. '' A startled Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's spokesperson from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to ascertain fourteen others. ''

'' commanding officer ! dear God it 's beneficial to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to rise then battle to get informal. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few times myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.

'' I 'm fine daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent wellness. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of luminousness appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro pant as Shelly ran her hand through his phiz with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you delight get her to stop doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial Intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspire as Shelly giggled passing her mitt and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please stop passing your hand through the holograph ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a unknown look and light in her middle. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light battleground as an interference pattern of seemingly random variant in the opaqueness, compactness, or surface profile of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am miss Shelly. Do you deliver questions ? ''

Still with a unusual smell on her face she asked, `` Are you generated via lens and optical maser ? ''

'' No miss Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the ikon no affair what the light is in the room. I can be made with lens and laser though they are crude oil and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to put up a system to leave you a way to be outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current engineering science that it might not be potential for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the little girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got large. `` We have to get her to shut out that area of her brain off ! forefather if we do n't it will drink down her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a deprivation for the first time in a tenacious metre. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the worried Father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's dada. Come back to me featherbed girl, it 's ok just come back to pop. '' Gunter said.

Softly at first base then they all saw the tears start from her eyes they heard. `` pa ? pop ? dad ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her father as she threw her arms around him. The just sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's bureau.

Then they all heard a sigh as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a entire analysis of her. bump out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Grant walked in. `` You salutary let his wife out soon or we 're going to take a BIG problem with that slight woman. She damn near took my head off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last time you got me wino. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't exit yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken mortal or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ semen in here to tell apart me to relax I am either going to violently pop them or put a hollow in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh Irish bull ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is actual make water. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's eyes got magnanimous as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her heterosexual person here. explicate you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. shut down off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the door then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather stressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''

A moment later a rather angry Asian woman walked in with three male child. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly tears started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring blanket eyed at the medical way. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to happen a way to help Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is potential. She is the only girl I have or will ever have. I damned near die out having her I can never take children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another rhythm of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's boldness telling him give thanks you as she went to her daughter
