Derrick was moving through the access way toward the main segment of the shipyard. Ahead to his decent faculty Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left wing. Sergeant first form Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a banner patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to hold them quietly no randomness. Shaking his oral sex he thought back to Tempro.
Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As silence 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 straw man of the thick security department door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a instant later the threshold clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.
Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any to a greater extent guards. Shaking his principal Derrick had n't expected the state of affairs that was here. Apparently the ship railyard had been infiltrated by some really bad part. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transfer as it moved away from the ship cubic yard.
Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the primary hallway. So far the scans had indicated 30 men that were here, well twenty dollar bill eight now. All the reputation had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guard duty. ‘ 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 conjunction. Might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Jessye Norman told him.
'' I tend to concord, we could get five or six, but afraid the stopping point two or three might set off the consternation. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a import as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the hoi polloi from the transport were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to make a move when an alarm system went off.
'' What 's with all the damn noise ? '' A big man with respective scratch on his elder face snarled into his com.
'' Found the outer near guard duty dead sir, '' came the voice of a young sounding man.
'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! Leave three here with me, ought to be enough to control these scared pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.
Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the wall picking their positions. Taking a deep breathing time Derrick knew that this next part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser singlet he stepped out into the room.
'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the paries.
All four of the pirate whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The honest-to-god scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're dead you piece of tinker's damn ! ''
rushing toward the wall, the leader only heard the low gear 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 second later the one-third of the men went down.
Grabbing one of the females in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked tongue at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's dead whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different commission were heard. Then the knife was flying in one counseling as the man was falling back with a hole in the side of his head.
Derrick ran out to check on Shiloh and assignment. `` deputy Shiloh, Warrant Grant can you both stand ? ''
Both men looked up at Derrick with both their lip hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''
Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have fellowship. I want you and Grant to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.
Grant snapped to attention as did battle of Pittsburgh Landing. `` Will do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open wall.
Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a skillful post. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no subsister ! ''
'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's dismal reply.
'' felicitous to clean up the filth. '' Norman said with a grinning.
The next ten mo could only be described as a blood bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fasting, as all three of the men took them out. Unable to see their target area the final few panicked trying to break loose. They were also taken down by respective well placed shots.
A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.
'' Commander ? '' Came the voice of battle of Shiloh.
'' Yes police lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.
'' Just wanted to let you fuck that we are secure. The married woman and four tike were well hidden so they were condom. '' Shiloh replied.
'' wife and four shaver ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. Damn it ! Why in the the pits had n't he thought that they might be married AND have child. Shaking his caput he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.
'' trusted air force officer, we 've got a bit of meter before we leave. We have to restart the plasma effort so it 's going to be at to the lowest degree an hour. '' Shiloh responded.
'' Oh, in effect then I 'll get to conform to all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to fit all of them. ''
'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to meet the man she says kept me active to come back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.
'' well, I 'm gladiolus I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a tip of laughter in his voice. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly downhearted as he nodded. anathemize it ! They had so little sentence !
turn toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all inferno jailbreak loose. I really do n't want to be here when the forest fire fighter arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get exonerate enough. Unfortunately the ripalon muscularity prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``
'' Are we in danger air force officer ? '' Jimison asked.
'' No I do n't think so as long as we are away before the clip. '' Derrick replied.
'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just save them all ? '' Gregory John Norman said with a unappeasable face.
'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past. No I have to keep thing as close to what they should be as potential. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd detest me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.
Both men nodded with large heart 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 father, they are functioning at optimal efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's thoughts.
[ `` skillful charge them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table side by side to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic piece of music appeared. [ `` range of mountains, '' ] Derrick asked.
[ `` I can get a vindicated signal for at to the lowest degree 200,000 kilometer. After that a relay station is needed. I estimate that this is barely decent distance to generate minimal damage. '' ] 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 Shiloh 's fry, and then a slender Asian looking fair sex walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.
'' I am so glad to finally fit you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''
Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the cleaning lady. 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 a lot of a stress to you or your shaver. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the 16 and 14 yr old Son of the char. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.
Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these young of battle of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the males on the vertebral column as he moved toward where Shiloh and concession were in the statement of the ship.
Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` gladiola to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.
Looking down President Grant stated. `` We should be set up to go in half an hour. Can we establish you and your men a ride ? ''
'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised spirit.
'' I know when more than one nip is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two crack from two different directions. pit if I did n't cognise better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Ulysses Grant hung his promontory. `` I know that 's inconceivable as they both are dead. ''
It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alive 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 Ulysses Simpson Grant and battle of Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to run across the family. '' Shiloh told Derrick.
'' Yes, you have some ok boys Lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.
Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''
'' Shelly ? I did n't touch a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four baby when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.
Shiloh 's eyes got astray then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You good not be in the plasm reactor elbow room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be flop back. ''
'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our paths cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to deal 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 clear. '' ] Tempro replied.
[ `` Alright leaving now. Start away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.
'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to step out of the ship crosshatch. `` It would only take a moment ; do you really have to go ? ''
Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six human foot two inch height. `` I 'll meet her one day police lieutenant, I suggest no affair what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that short girl tight, very tight understand ? ''
Shiloh nodded a feeling of surprise and worry on his font as he thanked the commander. Hurrying retiring Derrick, battle of Pittsburgh Landing made his way to the reactor way as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.
battle of Shiloh started to track down in the reactor way for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the air force officer said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other face of the reactor room watching the engineer.
His workforce on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the aspect on her father 's brass. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''
'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young madam ! '' Shiloh told her with a dingy look on his grimace that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's human face held was about to cause Shiloh to gag. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.
'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine yr old asked of her father.
'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a ripe thing to hold over your head do n't you call back ? '' Gunter said a diminished smile small smile on his lips.
'' daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.
Shiloh was shaking his chief as he touched the black coil on her point. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hand on his mentum. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! Come on let 's go get you strapped in with your brother and mother we 're about to leave. ''
They were walking toward the berthing region when the commanding officer 's net give-and-take came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little fille tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake 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 control room Mika. ''
'' I thought you did n't let her in there. '' Came her reply.
'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange impression. I have n't had one like this in a long fourth dimension last time was with the Commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.
'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can hear almost fear in your voice ! '' She replied.
'' Like I said not sure enough, things just seem odd. '' he said.
'' Alright but hold her tight hon. '' Mika told him.
Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a startled look. Almost the Saame thing that the air force officer had said !
Making his way to the restraint elbow room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little missy was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an minute later when Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then leave alone.
'' spirit level seem good, all hatches closed, all seals full. No ruptures, no release of atm. Now backing out, quick when you are sir. '' Grant told him.
Shiloh was about to activate the locomotive engine when he noticed they were still a little close-fitting to the station. `` Mr. President Grant I suggest we put Thomas More than a simple thousand kilometer between us and the station. Did you notify the forest fire fighter of what happened ? ''
'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unnamed energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' Cary Grant told him.
Something was nagging at Shiloh 's brainiac more as he watched them take up to finally drop off further from the place. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger statement. This is carry R-00101. Do you read me ranger command ? ''
A mo later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repetition you -- - -- - high school -- -- - area. '' Came the fallible sounding staticky signaling.
'' command we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send help to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Cary Grant said. `` dogshit ca n't seem to get through. surmisal we need to get farther away. ''
battle of Pittsburgh Landing nodded they were at 4000 km and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine ascendence Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his idea broke free !
'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control chair. Damn it he hated to expect like this ! `` clip ? ''
'' Information says that the ship exploded five mo from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the post. `` 4000 kilometers, 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 terminal two ! Sire I am afraid I am going to suffer them ! '' Tempro cried.
Derrick flew to the control input key board as he was typing profligate than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlace your IMT with Tempro 's ''
'' Derrick that would burn my IMT out completely. It would require at to the lowest degree 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 eye had tear in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT scheme together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one twenty dollar bill, one XXX five. Now at one fifty. ''
'' I have them father the addition is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.
Derrick looked at Shelby as split started to precipitate from her heart. `` I 'm good-for-naught Derrick I have no more. I can feel the system of rules starting to go. ''
Derrick heard a upstage 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 hold taken out a few of my organization. I 'm afraid I will have to regen for a sentence. I 'm dark I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with teardrop in her eyes then she vanished.
'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the storey near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious battle of Shiloh with his sleeve wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.
The girl struggled out of his weaponry as she started to cry then tried to fire up her father up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in engine room again please pop ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the lilliputian girl asked, `` Can you please help my daddy ? He 's hurt ! ''
Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the piffling girl staring at the spot 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 looking on his case.
'' Of course of study mister, '' the little girl said as a strange look came over her grimace. `` It 's a place for the care of the infirm, sick, or injured ; hospital or facility service as a infirmary. ''
Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the nestling. She appeared to be formula though as he well knew feeling 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 pop was reaching to do something with the controls. I heard him yell as he held me loaded then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''
Derrick was nodding as he watched the slight girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, unusual indeed !
It was perhaps a day and a one-half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly displace. A slight girl 's giggle drew his attention to the early side 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 little girl threw her subdivision around the man as tears of joy started to fall from her eyes. `` I was so affright I was going to mislay you ! ''
'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.
'' fountainhead, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a instant then her grimace lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite group imperial Guardian ships ! ''
'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A startled Gunter said.
'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find xiv others. ''
'' air force officer ! honey God it 's good 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 struggle to get light. `` 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 first-class wellness. '' Shelly said.
'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.
A shimmering of visible radiation appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a suspire Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro pant as Shelly ran her hand through his visage with a giggle.
'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.
Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please 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 holographical theatrical performance of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial intelligence operation of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspire as Shelly giggled passing her script and arm through Tempro.
'' Shelly delight stop passing your hand through the holograph ! '' Gunter told her.
Shelly suddenly stopped a strange look and brightness in her eyes. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encryption of the light flying field as an encumbrance pattern of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, concentration, or surface visibility of the photographic culture medium. ''
Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the untested girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you have dubiousness ? ''
Still with a strange tone on her face she asked, `` Are you father via lens and lasers ? ''
'' No fille Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no matter what the ignitor is in the room. I can be made with lens and lasers though they are primitive and faulty. ''
Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a system to provide you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current engineering that it might not be possible for a bit. ''
Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the short young lady. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eye got large. `` We have to get her to shut that sphere of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a going for the first off time in a long meter. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.
'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the worried begetter on the bed.
'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's daddy. Come back to me cocker female child, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.
Softly at low then they all saw the teardrop start from her eyes they heard. `` pappa ? Daddy ? papa ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her father as she threw her arms around him. The only auditory sensation they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's chest.
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 fully analysis of her. Find out if there is a way to serve her ... somehow. ''
Another door opened as subsidization walked in. `` You advantageously let his married woman out soon or we 're going to have a BIG problem with that petty woman. She damn near took my head teacher off ! ''
'' She 's probably still pissed about the final stage fourth dimension you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't exit yet. ''
'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.
Duncan Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` pitiful Tempro. ‘ Comes in here to tell me to relax I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''
'' Oh crap ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is rattling pixilated. Better let her out before she starts destroying poppycock. ''
Derrick 's eyes got expectant as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. Explain you are taking her and the son to see her husband. Close off everything, straight here. ''
Tempro looked at the room access then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather unhappy. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''
A moment later a rather angry Asiatic woman walked in with three boys. `` 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 wide eyed at the medical room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to notice 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 possible. She is the lone young lady I have or will ever have. I damned near buy the farm having her I can never let small fry again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of binge. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
