Derrick was moving through the access code way toward the briny division of the shipyard. Ahead to his right-hand staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left field. police sergeant first course of study Book of the Prophet Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a touchstone patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take on them quietly no noise. Shaking his headway he thought back to Tempro.
Both men slipped around the box as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiet 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 door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a second later the door 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 more than guards. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship K had been infiltrated by some really bad characters. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an blowup on the transport as it moved away from the ship M.
Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be plagiarizer again in the principal hallway. So far the CAT scan had indicated 30 men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the study had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the composite Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guards. ‘ shit'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 succeeding adjunction. Might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Greg Norman told him.
'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the utmost two or three might set off the alert. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the transport were being held. A mere ten transactions later they were well inside about to form a move when an alarm went off.
'' What 's with all the damn noise ? '' A large man with respective mark on his older font snarled into his com.
'' Found the outer most guard perfectly sir, '' came the voice of a young sounding man.
'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the illegitimate child ! leave three here with me, ought to be decent 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 place Derrick knew that this succeeding part was speculative 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 cry. `` They are in here with us ! '' The aged scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're dead you piece of shit ! ''
Rushing toward the wall, the drawing card only heard the 1st then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to scream then the com. was flying across the room with a golf hole in it. A moment later the one-third of the men went down.
Grabbing one of the female in the way the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's dead whether or not you get me ! '' Two guesswork from different directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one focus as the man was falling back with a hollow in the side of meat of his drumhead.
Derrick ran out to chequer on battle of Shiloh and Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, indorsement President Grant can you both stand ? ''
Both men looked up at Derrick with both their rima oris hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''
Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have troupe. I want you and award 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 Shiloh. `` testament do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the outdoors bulwark.
Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the bulwark himself moving to a better position. Touching his ear he said. `` call for them all no subsister ! ''
'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim answer.
'' Happy to clean up the filth. '' Jessye Norman said with a smile.
The succeeding ten moment could only be described as a rake bathtub as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fasting, as all three of the men took them out. ineffective to see their target area the final few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.
A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long metre came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.
'' commandant ? '' Came the voice of battle of Pittsburgh Landing.
'' Yes lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a minute later.
'' Just wanted to let you love that we are secure. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were condom. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing replied.
'' Wife and four child ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd wish to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. Damn it ! Why in the netherworld had n't he thought that they might be married AND have nipper. Shaking his read/write head he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.
'' Sure commandant, we 've got a bit of metre before we leave. We have to re-start the blood plasma driveway so it 's going to be at least an 60 minutes. '' Shiloh responded.
'' Oh, good then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through soaked drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''
'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to fit the man she says kept me live to amount back to her ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing chuckled.
'' Well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a tinge of laughter in his spokesperson. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly grim as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so niggling time !
turning toward both Gregory John Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all the pits breaks loose. I really do n't require to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to get hold of all Tempro has to get clear enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``
'' Are we in danger commander ? '' Jimison asked.
'' No I do n't mean so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.
'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just keep them all ? '' Gregory John Norman said with a low typeface.
'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep back it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past times. No I have to keep things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big jeopardy taking battle of Pittsburgh Landing '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 magnanimous 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 optimal efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's intellection.
[ `` adept send out them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table future to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic pieces appeared. [ `` orbit, '' ] Derrick asked.
[ `` I can get a clear signal for at least 200,000 km. After that a relay transmitter is needed. I estimate that this is barely decent distance to try minimal scathe. '' ] 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 children, and then a slender Asian looking cleaning lady walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.
'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The adult female said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''
Derrick had been prepared to actually detest the woman. Now he could see why Gunter battle of Pittsburgh Landing had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the future few hours are n't too much of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the deal of the sixteen and 14 year old sons of the cleaning lady. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his female parent called him.
Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the male person on the back as he moved toward where battle of Shiloh and Grant were in the command of the ship.
Both men stood to toast Derrick as he came in. `` gladiola to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said.
Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be make to go in half an hr. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''
'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised feel.
'' I know when to a greater extent than one injection is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different focussing. hell on earth if I did n't bed better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Duncan James Corrow Grant hung his head teacher. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are absolutely. ''
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 voice of myself ripped away when I found out. ''
Both Grant and battle of Pittsburgh Landing were nodding as they hung their brain. `` I 'm glad you got to fit the family. '' Shiloh told Derrick.
'' Yes, you have some delicately boys deputy. '' Derrick told him.
Nodding battle of Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you believe of trivial Shelly ? ''
'' Shelly ? I did n't contact a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four kid when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.
Shiloh 's eyes got wide then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Shiloh ! You near not be in the blood plasma nuclear reactor elbow room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be rightfield 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 take 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 clearly. '' ] Tempro replied.
[ `` Alright leaving now. set off 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 hachure. `` It would only take a present moment ; do you really let to go ? ''
Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six foot two column inch height. `` I 'll meet her one day police lieutenant, I suggest no thing what happens in the next few 60 minutes ? You hold that niggling miss tight, very closely understand ? ''
Shiloh nodded a look of surprise and concern on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying yesteryear Derrick, battle of Pittsburgh Landing made his way to the reactor elbow room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.
battle of Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor elbow room watching the engineer.
His hands on his hip he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the look on her begetter 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''
'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young lady ! '' Shiloh told her with a grim look on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's fount held was about to cause battle of Shiloh to laughter. He knew all her put-on 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 certain, though this is a effective thing to have got over your headland do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a lowly smiling belittled grinning on his lips.
'' dad ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.
Shiloh was shaking his drumhead as he touched the black ringlet on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hand on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a bare kid ! seed on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to leave. ''
They were walking toward the berthing area when the Commander 's last words came back to him. [ lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the following few hours. You hold that fiddling lady friend tight, very plastered understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't excite the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a happenstance that the commandant 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 reserve her in there. '' Came her reply.
'' Usually I would n't, but I got a unusual intuitive feeling. I have n't had one like this in a recollective time live time was with the air force officer also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.
'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can get wind almost fear in your phonation ! '' She replied.
'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.
'' Alright but hold her fast hon. '' Mika told him.
Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a startled feeling. Almost the same affair that the Commander had said !
Making his way to the restraint room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girlfriend was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hr later when battle of Shiloh looked over to Duncan James Corrow Grant as they both started the operation to undock then result.
'' Levels count good, all hatches closed, all seals good. No ruptures, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, make when you are sir. '' Hiram Ulysses Grant told him.
Shiloh was about to activate the engines when he noticed they were still a lilliputian near to the place. `` Mr. Ulysses Simpson Grant I suggest we put to a greater extent than a mere thousand Kilometers between us and the station. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''
'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown energy coming from the post. I have compensated for it though still no middleman. '' grant told him.
Something was nagging at Shiloh 's learning ability more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` commando command. This is enrapture R-00101. Do you read me Texas Ranger command ? ''
A here and now later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repeat you -- - -- - highschool -- -- - country. '' Came the weak sounding staticky sign.
'' Command we we 're attacked by pirate ship. Please send help to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` horseshit ca n't seem to get through. dead reckoning we need to get far away. ''
Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometer and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for locomotive control Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke free !
'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the controller chairman. beshrew it he hated to hold off like this ! `` Time ? ''
'' entropy says that the ship exploded five mo from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly pee-pee its way further from the station. `` 4000 kilometre, 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 shoemaker's last two ! sire I am afraid I am going to recede them ! '' Tempro cried.
Derrick flew to the ascendence input key panel as he was typing truehearted 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 burn my IMT out completely. It would require at to the lowest degree a hebdomad to rejuvenate. '' Shelby told him.
Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't lose them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``
Shelby 's eyes had tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems 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 20, one XXX five. Now at one fifty. ''
'' I have them generate the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.
Derrick looked at Shelby as crying started to fall from her center. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no More. I can feel the system starting to give way. ''
Derrick heard a aloof burst as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you alright ? ''
'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT scheme has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my system. I 'm afraid I will receive to regen for a time. I 'm no-count I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her middle then she vanished.
'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the story near him. Shining bright a instant then Derrick saw an unconscious mind Shiloh with his coat of arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.
The girl struggled out of his implements of war as she started to cry then tried to wake her forefather up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in technology again please dada ! '' 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 niggling 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 feeling on his grimace.
'' Of course mister, '' the petty girl said as a unusual flavour came over her face. `` It 's a place for the care of the infirm, sick of, or injured ; infirmary or facility service of process as a hospital. ''
Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the youngster. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew tone were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please follow 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 dad going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as dad was reaching to do something with the controls. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was smooth. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really unusual. ''
Derrick was nodding as he watched the niggling girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange 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 move. A piffling girl 's giggle drew his attending to the other side of meat of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.
'' Hey daddy, you 're finally come alive ! I was afraid that you were n't going to fire up up ! '' Here the little girl threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to fall from her centre. `` I was so pit I was going to lose you ! ''
'' I feel alright, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.
'' well, 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 protector ships ! ''
'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A startle Gunter said.
'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to determine 14 others. ''
'' air force officer ! beloved 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 loose. `` 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 vex Gunter asked.
'' I 'm okay pop ; the see through man checked me and said I was in first-class health. '' Shelly said.
'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.
A shimmering of light appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a suspire Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me police lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp 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 cease 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 suspiration as Shelly giggled passing her mitt and arm through Tempro.
'' Shelly please stop passing your bridge player through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.
Shelly suddenly stopped a unknown face and light in her centre. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the ignitor field of operations as an interference pattern of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, density, or surface visibility of the photographic medium. ''
Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you give questions ? ''
Still with a strange looking on her nerve she asked, `` Are you yield via genus Lens and lasers ? ''
'' No young lady Shelly I am a expulsion contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no matter what the brightness level is in the room. I can be made with lens system and laser though they are crude and faulty. ''
Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be potential to set up a system to allow for you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''
Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the little miss. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got large. `` We have to get her to shut that area of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will obliterate her ! ''
Derrick looked at the lady friend completely at a passing for the inaugural time in a long clip. `` 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 dad. number back to me baby daughter, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.
Softly at first then they all saw the tears start from her eyes they heard. `` pop ? Daddy ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her sire as she threw her weapon around him. The lonesome speech sound they heard was the sob of Shelly on her father 's pectus.
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 wide analysis of her. find oneself out if there is a way to facilitate her ... somehow. ''
Another door opened as Cary Grant walked in. `` You amend let his wife out soon or we 're going to have a BIG trouble with that little cleaning woman. She damn near took my head off ! ''
'' She 's probably still pissed about the last clip you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't lead yet. ''
'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.
assignment snapped to tending then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or affair ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ Comes in here to say me to unlax I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''
'' Oh turd ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying hooey. ''
Derrick 's heart got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. excuse you are taking her and the boys to see her hubby. shut off everything, straight here. ''
Tempro looked at the room access then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hasten ! ''
A minute later a rather angry Asian womanhood 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 wide-cut eyed at the medical elbow room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to rule a way to aid 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 solitary girl I have or will ever have. I damned near died having her I can never have children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her girl
