`` Shelby, '' Derrick asked. `` Were there many ships lost in this finical area ? ``

'' Searching, according to all data I have on all ship movements and battles I would have to say no but I feel that Conner may have to a greater extent selective information than I, at the confront second, '' Shelby answered.

'' Thank you Shelby I 'll take this info under advisement, '' Derrick replied thick in thought he had to get all the ships synced up so that all the disc were somewhat the same on all the ships. Sighing Derrick thought this damn hunt and peck he was having to do to get information was irritating the hell out of him. `` Conner, '' Derrick started.

'' Yes primary election, '' Conner replied.

'' Were there many ships lost in this region besides you, 0004 your wing mate and 0001 ? '' Derrick asked.

It was silence for a forgetful clock time, `` No primary winding we were the alone ships I have knowledge of here, as stated I lost my flank partner here along with 0001. '' Conner almost whispered.

Hmmm so they did express impression toward their wing, mates something to keep in mind for later Derrick thought.

'' Shelby, I want a broad scan done on the life/brain box, every CAT scan you can do. radiation syndrome, explosives, virus 's both written and forcible, also any animation variety hiding on or in. If there is damage to the case I want you to bedevil everything at it again. Something does n't feel right ; think of I do n't need it on board under no mean 'til we are completely trusted it is safety. '' Derrick ordered as unforgiving as he could. He had a bad feeling about this the kind that could get them all killed if he was n't careful.

'' Yes Derrick all CAT scan going, to do the full moon stamp battery of exam it will get at least two hours, may I at least allow Department of Energy to it ? '' Shelby asked.

'' Not unless you can do it from a distance, I do n't like this Shelby everything about this feels wrong, I 'm not sure enough but this almost feels like a mistaken box. '' Derrick replied, Shelby actually gasped then all was quiet for a patch. Derrick had only started reading up on the brain boxes two sidereal day ago, going back to the records way he again immersed himself deep in the disc finding a little more on the brainiac boxes. It was almost two hours later that Shelby alerted him she had completed the first group of trial. `` Display the results here, '' Derrick told Shelby.

As he started to go over the recital he was certainly sword lily he 'd decided to read more on the boxes. Several of the readings made no sentience opening up the library records he soon found out why.

Rising Derrick started running issuing fiat, `` IMT Shelby, bridge ! All of you withdraw 100,000 kilometer, all shell to full, shift shield relative frequency to a higher modulation now ! '' He saw all of them bring up their shell then withdrew. `` Conner, Zan lock on mark and fervour 'til you detect an overload then immediately retreat another 100,000 kilometers. Shelby, you and Lucy withdraw to that stop I need you both taking readings. ``

Almost in unison the four ships answered `` ordination received Primary, retreating. ``

'' Starting scans, '' both Lucy and Shelby stated.

'' Now beginning shelling, nothing yet Primary. '' Zan and Conner told him.

'' primary election detecting a build-up of energy within the vitrine, '' Lucy and Shelby informed him.

'' Alright retreat to base hit point in time, all shell to good keep scanning 'til the box explodes. '' Derrick ordered, the Shelby holograph was staring at Derrick as if he 'd turn a loss his mind.

They had to only expect a few minutes after they were all at the 200,000 kilometer limit.

Suddenly there was a titanic explosion in front end of them. Thankfully Derrick had recognized the danger and had the shield at a higher frequency. Shelby was staring at the readings ; this had in fact been a type of gamy take nuclear device. Again it appeared that Derrick had saved them all again plus the fact that they were armed with a lilliputian better sympathy of the dissimilar risk out here now.

All four Holograms were standing in front of Derrick as he went over what he 'd learned explaining what the readings should be and what should be considered dangerous. `` If you detect any of these readings when you scan a lifespan box do not approach it, we all could have been destroyed today delight remember, all these readings here, have to be right here, if not then something is faulty and can be determined by former reading. '' Shelby was staring at Derrick with more superbia then she 'd ever mat up. `` Right now I want to digest on 0001, though I suspect he was n't the confidential information ship I feel he was very important with this experimental equipment he was carrying. ``

Sighing Derrick went back to his heavy, light reading ( only 800 pages this sentence ) skilful thing he could read extremely fast, or he 'd never get through all this plus it increased the amount he could go through at least four metre not bad. Derrick had almost finished all he was reading though this last segment had him a little put off. Apparently two of the ships had been designated as the personality creators, thereby saving zillion of programming hours. Huh. Derrick thought almost like a mother and fa ..., Derrick remembered the looks the holograms had given Shelby when he 'd been discussing upgrades to weapons and shields, was it possible ?

It was a hebdomad later that Derrick began to bumble on records of the power sources of all the ships. His lip dropped open if this was true then this was the most dangerous power generator that could be used but how in the hell on earth had they stabilized it ? Damn it seemed the deeper he went the more puzzling it got, hell and he thought the brain/life boxes had been confusing 'til he got to the utmost few Page. Sighing Derrick had a feel that this was going to be a mystery like that one also, but why danger such an volatile chemical element ? Unless it had to do with the trans-warp, it in itself was an terra incognita conception, it could be that the amount of mogul needed had to be that bang-up but how did they hold it ? Derrick sat back he needed a break he 'd been going at it all workweek long not really checking on a lot, not eating much, blaze had it not been for Shelby he probably would n't have.

Stepping out he was greeted by the seemingly always bright and upbeat Shelby holograph, `` I am glad to see that you are finally concentrating on something other than the disc, though I am beaming you have this final few workweek. ``

Derrick nodded staring at the now growing ship on the monitors, `` what is the status of 0001 ? '' Derrick asked when he finally found his tongue.

'' At present emergence pace is much dumb than I expected, I can not provide the tot amount of power he needs to re-gen at the wide-cut rate, that I am afraid would engage at least three ships. I have him now at 25 % cerebral activity, with the amount of power that he is needing it will be another two weeks before he will be able to admit over. '' Shelby reported sadly.

'' Thank you Shelby you 're doing the C. H. Best you can at least now he is out of danger of failing, do you know when he will be conscious there are a few enquiry I need to ask him. '' Derrick said.

'' I do n't believe he will egress for at least another week, '' Shelby stated.

'' Derrick, '' Shelby started when he 'd twist to go.

'' Yes, what 's wrong Shelby ? '' Derrick asked.

'' nothing is wrongly I was just wondering, did you arise up in the oculto providence as did your name sake ? '' Shelby asked

'' No, he as the rest period of my household, lived in abrir oculta providence for many, many generations, I believed they moved there years after the first Saturnia pavonia died, '' Derrick replied, what is she up to Derrick thinking ?

'' Thank you Derrick, it would come out that some of my records need updating, '' Shelby smiled sweetly.

'' Yeah, sure Shelby, '' ok she was going a little out of the way I see, and did she just lie ? Going to ingest to keep my eyes on her for sure. Shelby looked hard at Derrick, then she started doing facial recognition, it was true he had all the characteristic of his gens sake, but those could be faked, he did lie with the rhyme but that too could have been discovered. There had to be ... of row ! Deoxyribonucleic Zen ! If she could nail the certain Ribonucleic acids that would reveal all the info, then she could truly determine his origin. If he was in fact descended from the last line of the imperial family that had been hidden then vanished almost 920 geezerhood ago, then she could share everything ! Finally no more secrets, no more hiding the truth, if it were avowedly then he was the last-place emperor, and was More than worthy of her allegiance and here she smiled her love.

While Derrick continued his detective work into everything he could find about the ships, Shelby was occupy herself. She 'd already contacted the abrir oculta estimator requesting platter, as far back as she could go on Derrick 's family plus every other family there. Pouring over terra-bytes of info made her happier than she 'd been in centuries, though she might take in to have assistance soon the measure of datum was all encompassing she had n't wanted to raise alarms in eccentric the data had been hidden on the main electronic computer. Sighing she hated dealing with just an advanced computer, it was far more logical than she was used to, actually it was a nuisance. She also had to see the amount of record time she used, it might alert Derrick to what she was doing, she did n't desire Derrick to suppose she was prying, it was after all his life.

For the next five days both of them were pouring over the record book Shelby was sure she was on to something. The Deoxyribonucleic acid test had been put off as she still had n't found the Ribonucleic dose sequence she needed to get the resultant she needed, it had been hard enough to get a sampling from Derrick. She had to get this right wing the first prison term as she felt she was n't really going to get a second base chance to quiz again, well, not unless the psychometric test was convinced. Then she could see Derrick wanting her to examine again to make 100 % sure or as close as she could get. She was still running tests when another estimation stirred her action. The castle A.I. ! Though she was n't for sure it would answer her it had n't been heard from in over 200 class, after the palace was sealed. It was worth a try especially if Derrick was the succeeding Saturnia pavonia then the palace A.I. would recognize him at the start.

shift to the extremely high gear palace frequency, Shelby began what she hoped, was the commencement of the re-birth of the empire.

'' castle A.I. this is EIG-0101F, code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, requesting assist. I have the Deoxyribonucleic acid of a field I believe to be the last in course for the throne. Unable to verify without proper Ribonucleic dose sequence, I await your answer. ``

There was a hanker pause though Shelby was n't about to give up she had checked the code many times to swear it was correct. Ten minutes later the signal cleared when a vocalization from the past tense answered, `` EIG-0101F, code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop confirmed. hullo Shelby, it has been quite some time. Your petition is being processed, Long range IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transmit. Upon completion, send solvent back to central, thereby I can compare and evaluate, beam all information you have now in a pin detail burst, ah in effect thank you. get through me with the solvent 'til then. '' Then the line went abruptly. Shelby was relieved she was afraid that the palace A.I. would n't respond, thankfully she had.

Blessed Virgin the palace A.I. looked lovingly at all the information Shelby had collected, yes, it appeared to be the materialization ( many times removed ) of the emperor 's cousin. Hmmm, this one had almost as much knowledge as the first emperor this should get interesting. Mary 's hologram smiled, her daughter had always been more curious than the others, at least one was still awake, still she felt for Shelby all her children gone except for three, oh now four, it would do her so expert to have her children back, just as it was to Madonna knowing that her daughter was still alive.

Shelby looked at the ampul she 'd just take in ( Ribonucleic acid sequence 1,000,054 ) no marvel she had n't found it yet she had only gotten to 10,000 and that had taken five twenty-four hours ! Sighing Shelby knew that it would take another two days to run the test and then confirm the results. power as well get started she thought, so slowly she began the psychometric test triple checking everything before and during the test.

Derrick had finally discovered all he could, it truly was a separatrix of star the damping field, the vitality drain, and the turnaround magnetic generalization. This not only stabilized the element but allowed for 100 % use of all push produced thereby eliminating all waste material. Finally with a Sir Thomas More than 50 % agreement of all the ships systems Derrick felt he was nearing where his name sake had been 150 years ago. Sitting back Derrick 's mind was about to explode with the sheer amount of information, but there was so much Thomas More, more than 10 times what he 'd already gleaned, looking at the heading phone like apparatus Derrick decided it was sentence he had to fill in it. If he had any probability of saving even half of the fleet, he 'd need all the noesis. Sighing he looked it over he had the interface finished but the fender was far from where he wanted it, if the buffer fail or did n't mold at all he 'd be a chatter half-wit before it was even one-half finished. Then there was the fact that the potential drop was still too high another feature that made him cringe not proficient to fry your wit just as your starting to get what you want.

Two daytime later a loud warning signal jerked Derrick from his sum denseness on the head cogwheel. `` Shelby report, why is the life box alert going off ? Is 0001 in danger ? ``

'' No Derrick she responded, `` I am reading a dramatic increase in cerebral activity with 0001, now at 50, 55, 60 %, emergence imminent, intellectual action at 75 %. ``

At first there was a crackling coming from the speakers, then very slowly a monotone voice started that quickly changed to a male articulation. `` Where am I ? '' 0001 asked confused.

'' You are in hanger one on dining table me 0101 known as Shelby, '' Shelby answered. `` You were lost in one of the outset battles, somewhere around 975-980 years ago. ``

'' I see, '' 0001 answered, `` how was I found ? I thought that I would die out here. ``

'' My primary winding has developed a way to find our life lawsuit, '' Shelby answered. `` Your Primary I see, how many are there of us now ? '' The part asked.

Sighing Shelby said. `` At first there was only me then I found my Primary, since then he has found three others, so four including you. ``

'' Ah ! Good it was once said that five of us, were worth more than the entire old regal fleet. It is good to know I still have brothers and sisters alive. Your Primary what is his name so that I may register him. '' 0001 stated.

Derrick stepped forward, `` I am maitre d'hotel Derrick O'Toma. ``

'' Derrick O'Toma ? '' The voice said a little energise, `` when I am again all, I have a subject matter I have been carrying since the start day I was launched, my master. ``

Derrick 's oral cavity dropped afford, ok now thing were truly getting on the weird side, it called him lord ? That distinction was reserved for the old Dukes, Earls, knight, but especially the emperor butterfly himself. Derrick had to ask him self just what the fuck was going on ? What was this subject matter 0001 had and just who the fucking would know to pull up stakes a message for him besides h ... Holy fuck ! There was no freaking way ! Ok, now Derrick was rapidly growing more curious, this was one mystery that he was n't going to work out in just a day or week.

All of the former holograms appeared suddenly, `` flush Primary ? '' They all asked, `` did 0001 claim you lord ? ``

'' Yes, though I am shy what this means, '' Derrick stated not too for sure that he was believing exactly what 0001 had said. `` All I know is that for some reasonableness 0001 thinks I am ranked a lot gamy than a common citizen. ``

All of the Holograms nodded each it seemed to be inscrutable in cerebration. A few minute later each holograph departed, Shelby was about to ask Derrick a question when she received an alarm alerting her to the fact that the test was finally finished. Derrick excused his self to again shape on his project it was the key to everything that he was trying to do.

Withdrawing the results Shelby studied the readings with growing interest, it appeared that Derrick showed a 95.333 % certainty of being related to the last emperor moth. Though early parts showed that he had only the main of the emperor and therefore was not directly related. Unsure Shelby knew that she 'd experience to contact the palace A.I. again.

Again she tuned to the extremely high frequency, `` palace A.I., this is EIG-0101F code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop. run is finish on subject I believe is last in line for the can, though Deoxyribonucleic acidulous readings are uncertain, confusing. I await your response. ``

This time there was only a myopic wait before the A.I. Mary came on. `` EIG-0101F, cipher alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, again confirmed. Hello again Shelby, I am happy you did n't neutralise meter conducting the mental test I have been waiting for the outcome. ``

'' Yes palace A.I. I thought that you might, though as I reported the results are conflicting. '' Shelby stated somewhat unsure.

'' first Shelby, you may shout me Mary, s, these results are always like this as they sample many things in the one test. Now then, place all of the materials, the trial run upshot, the sample distribution all on the flat surface that the Ribonucleic acid sequence appeared on. Good long distance IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transfer. Ah ! I see your confusion Shelby, you were reading all the results as the same. No the only one that counts is the one that states that there is a 95.333 % probability that the study is a descendent of the imperial short letter, hmmm the first I have seen in over 200 yr. ``

Shelby 's pridefulness was growing, she had actually found him ! Finally there was a opportunity that the empire would be restored ! `` He does not know yet Mary, I had to do this without his consent, he may be angry with me. I am also unsure, he might not want to be the emperor, he was in a frightful war conflict, I have tried to subside his brain but he is a hard case. Unlike any I have ever seen. ``

'' You have done exceptionally well Shelby, when the fourth dimension comes, I will babble out with him I have had much experience in healing the judgement. '' Mary stated.

'' Mary there is one early affair. I am ..., '' Shelby hesitated.

'' You have grown more than fond of him, yes I thought you might, when I saw the astuteness of the enquiry that you had conducted. It will be fine I assure you Shelby, tell me how many of the EIG 's are left ? '' Mary asked.

'' At present My Prime has found four others that makes a total of five of us now, '' Shelby answered.

'' Your bloom ? Quickly what is his name ? '' An excited Madonna asked.

'' Derrick O'Toma, '' Shelby stated confused.

'' So it is clip finally it will be over. Thank you Shelby I 'll adjoin you soon. '' Mary said then the bank line went dead.

Shelby was even Thomas More unsure now, she finally had a Primary again after all that empty time. Plus the fact that she was now in lovemaking with him, something she was sure the now 5 % less of inhibiting plan had something to do with. She had felt something before with others but 'til Derrick removed the programs she 'd never felt what she was feeling. She had to tell him soon but she was afraid that he would suit wild with her, possibly moving to another ship. She was n't trusted she could postulate the loneliness again, she 'd been so closemouthed to turning all her systems off the smell of despair growing it seemed each day. Derrick was it seemed, all of the Primaries she 'd ever had rolled into one, she just hoped that when she told him he did n't desire to leave.

Blessed Virgin looked over the results, so it was finally metre, she had received a content so long ago on the majestic net. Searching she found the recording she was to playact when she heard his name, as a Primary on an EIG ship named Shelby. Playing it her hologram nodded at the instructions, finally everything was confirmed with the imperial beard code. Reaching out Mary opened all the gun turrets, started the long dormant but still like new generator. strengthening the shield she began to cycles/second all the weapons making sure they were all ready, replacing all that failed to work. Smiling she thought, I am ready lord, when you finally come to your family ALL will be ready.

Done with the important project Mary began to make the farsighted unused room, preparing everything that returning royalty would need.

Derrick suddenly got a chill damn he thought someone is thinking awful knockout about me, laughing he remembered the old wise tale his granny had told him. Looking at his task he 'd finally bewilder the voltage below death penalty potency, the modulator was working far estimable than he hoped. Now all I had to do was get these damn buffer storage working. Every clip he wrote the code it seemed he had to go back and adjust a whole strain. Almost two calendar week now and only one of the buffers were working, to use it now would n't rick his brain to jelly but he 'd still be an idiot when it was done. It took the rest of the day to finally find what he 'd been doing wrong, Finally the adjacent day he had three of the buffer store working. curse it ! He 'd adjusted everything he could reckon of. Derrick almost asked Shelby for help but he could hear it now, about they would protect him at all costs and he could n't put his life in peril blah, rant, blah ! He was n't about to go through that again. Another day saw Derrick still at the work table the quaternary had finally cleared. Still working Derrick was shocked when the galactic intruder alert went off.

'' Shelby story !'Derrick ordered.

'' I 'm detecting an approaching invasion force, it appears to be a different airstream, the like that we lost many ships to. '' Shelby reported.

Damn it ! Derrick thought, I 'm, we 're not ready ! Well I 've got four it will make to do. `` How foresighted ... '' Derrick started.

'' I 'd say, at their nowadays velocity, they will transgress our galaxy in nine Day, thirty-six hours, five hour and thirty-four seconds. '' Shelby replied.

Wonderful just fucking howling, looking at his project he sat and put it on his headway .
