Trianas had landed as far away from the Earl 's palace as she dared. She 'd spent the better part of the day working on her systems trying to bushel what she could. Smiling her body of work had restored almost all her weapon system almost all of her hyper drive. Shaking her headway she saw that her trans-warp was at one-half, not great but at to the lowest degree now it would n't take a calendar month to get anywhere.

She 'd just finished for the day when she got an alarm, then nine more ! Looking at what she saw she had to do a duplicate return ! Those had to be the biggest damn war ships she 'd ever seen ! No wonder the invader lost ! Ok this was going to take a hell of a lot more provision on her part before she made another try at the illegitimate emperor.

Smyrnium olusatrum was pushing his technical school almost to the breaking point. He had to find that bitch before she had another chance to damage the ship. He knew she had no trans-warp ; problem was they did n't have that much themselves. Cuffing a tech who 'd fell asleep the man flew across the room into the wall with a nose drops. `` I did n't tell you that you could slumber you ass ! Get back to work you can sleep when she is idle ! ``


Greeson had practiced the initiatory two advanced moves 'til he could do them with his eyes closed. Then the now Colonel had come back in pinning those stripe on him. Placing a blind fold on Greeson, Dempsy then started to condition the man harder. `` This will allow for you to actually use your senses. Remember the eyes can lie to you as they almost always do. Do not let the Trygve Lie of your optic get you killed. '' Dempsy said as he started to get faster and faster.

Greeson knew something was different the Colonel was pushing him surd than he 'd done before. He was actually grateful for this preparation. As he remembered, his instructor before had mentioned almost the Saame thing that the Colonel had. Reaching out he could almost 'see'the reverse that were coming at him.

Hartwell, Derrick and Lucie were looking at the planet when there was signal from below. `` Thank you for honoring us with you presence emperor butterfly O'Toma ! '' Came the articulation of a young sounding male.

'' I take it I am speaking to Earl Tauntoff ? '' Derrick replied a moment later.

'' Yes father, we have been awaiting your arrival. I apologize for not having much to offer you when you come down. We are n't as productive or rosy as those you visited before. We will create you as comfortable as possible sire. '' Came the voice.

Looking over the report he had in figurehead of him Derrick nodded. `` What you offer will be more than enough. The simpleton fact that you care for your people as well as you do says more to me about you than anything. I am actually looking forward to seeing your territorial dominion. ``

'' Why thank you Sire ! We will be expecting you whenever you are ready, Sire, '' The young voice replied.

Derrick turned toward Hartwell who was nodding, `` This one appears to be the real deal sir. ``

Derrick was also nodding then he looked at Lucie. She still had a overwrought feeling on her typeface. `` Are you still worried about that voice Lucie ? ``

Looking up a here and now she turned toward Derrick. `` Yes sir, the vocalization is so alone ! It has been getting weaker and weaker every hr. Is there no way we can go and get it ? '' Lucie said almost begging.

Derrick could only shake his caput. They needed all the ships that were here right now. With Zan and Sherry watching the rest of Lucy 's maturation, along with Tara 's repair growth and Tempro also hanging in orbit. Derrick just was n't that sure that he could spare either of the wing mates to search for the box. He sat to discourse it with Shelby.

Shelby after only a few moment suggested that he ask the ships in question. Nodding he contacted both Zan and Sherry. Both appeared a moment later bowing to both of them. `` Yes sire you called for us ? ``

Still a little unsure he asked, `` I have a possible location to one of your sister ships. I ca n't really give to send one of the ships with me. Nor can the two you are watching go. I was wondering if either of you could maltreat in, retrieve them ? ``

'' Sire, it would please us to no end to serve you in this capacity. May I suggest Sherry ? She is far better suited for the mission than I am. '' Zan spoke up.

Sighing Sherry added, `` I am afraid that he is correct father. He has a wagerer targeting system than I have. When may I go Sire ? '' Sherry 's suddenly excited voice stated.

'' As soon as possible, though you are going to have to stop by here where we are and pick up a rider. '' Derrick told Sherry.

'' Yes Sire, I can be there in a few moments if you wish. To facilitate another of my brothers and sister fills me with pride. '' Sherry told Derrick.

'' trade good I 'll see you soon then. '' Derrick said as he broke communication.

A few present moment later a disturbance in space appeared near the others then a rift opened as Sherry came through. Pulling within a few thousand m Sherry called. `` I am ready for your rider father, whenever you are. ``

'' Very honorable, '' Derrick answered. `` Shelby IMT Lucie to Sherry please. ``

'' Yes Derrick, '' A smiling Shelby told him. Then with a flash Lucie was gone.

Lucie appeared on a mastery bridge deck not unlike the one she 'd just been on. The solely deviation with this one was the fact that there was no one here. A slender brown haired teenage female person appeared a moment later. `` Hello, I am EIG - 1000 I was the last of the EIGs built. My name is Sherry, may I know yours ? ``

'' Uh ... '' Lucie started as she was looking around in wonder.

'' Yes ? '' The slender teen asked smiling sweetly as she awaited Lucie 's answer.

'' Oh ! I 'm sorry I am Lucie Hartwell. '' Lucie said suddenly.

'' Hartwell ? Are you related to the emperor 's second ? Admiral Hartwell ? '' Sherry asked in a cheery manner.

Lucie could only gaze at Sherry a moment. It was going to take some getting used to the computer or A.I. or whatever she was. `` Uh ... yeah. He 's my comrade. One I thought was long perfectly. ``

'' That is so sad, I know that pain as so many of my brothers and sister are still missing. The news of our father Gregor ceasing to map has weighed heavy on all of us. It 's still so severely to believe that he is gone. `` Sherry told Lucie who was staring in astonishment as rip started to accrue from the hologram eyes.

'' I 'm so sorry Sherry, I forget that you are a living A.I. I did n't mean to upset you ! The last thing I want you to do is hate me ! '' This time it was Lucie 's turn as she also started to cry. Lucie had spent so long alone and afraid now she felt she had alienated the A.I. from her.

Sherry 's visage stopped suddenly as she stared at Lucie crying also. `` I could never hate you ! You are one of the devout human beings to all of us right now. I too am sorry that I upset you ! It was n't my design to construct you feel unwelcome. Can we start again ? '' Sherry asked her cheery smile once again in plaza. `` howdy I am Sherry. I am the A.I. of this ship. May I have your name that I may show it in my memory ? ``

Lucie 's mouth dropped open, they really were like this !



Kimison was still a picayune leery after Rayburn 's resolution recently. The man was tired of fighting ? When the hell on earth had this happened ? Hell the sound theatrical role of the day was fighting with the man. Sighing, he once again tried to get past all the condom precaution that were put in home to keep open programs and cyberpunk out. Then he had to get past the processors that seemed to be equipped with dangerous shock nodes.

Then he thought once I am past both of those, there was an anti-program to winnow out any personalities that were n't entered correctly. Mary had helped greatly guiding him past the number 1 two good guards ; though he had been slightly shocked at the stopping point of the processors.

Looking around he could really use Rayburn 's help, the man had not been seen in quite a few time of day. Scratching his Kuki-Chin Kimison was beginning to imagine that the man had left the ship somehow. `` Tempro ? '' Kimison asked.

Tempro appeared a consequence later, `` Yes bloom ? ``

'' I thought I told you to discontinue calling me that ! Where is Rayburn ? I have n't seen him in all day. Is he still on the ship or has he gone planet side ? '' Kimison asked.

'' I have no mind. '' Tempro replied.

'' Uh huh. I swear you are lying to me. Perhaps I should take a look at your logic circle as they appear to be faulty ! unfold ALL your circuits NOW ! '' Kimison growled out.

'' Sir I can do a diagnostic, it should n't take more than ... '' Tempro started.

'' NO ! open them now ! You are lying to me I can secernate ! Now either tell me what in the hell is going on or I start going through your logic circuit one at a time ! '' Kimison was practically screaming at the hologram.

With a Brobdingnagian sigh Tempro knew he could no longer stall Kimison. `` serjeant Rayburn requested ... '' Tempro started when Mary appeared.

'' It is fine my son I will explain. '' Virgin Mary said.

'' Thank you mother, '' Tempro said then disappeared.

'' You and Sergeant Rayburn are going to cause my son to no longer function. '' Mary stated a frown on her usually happy face.

'' Uh huh. I just want Rayburn back here helping. I can not do these experiment alone. I need his extra set of hands. '' Kimison told Mary.

Sighing Blessed Virgin nodded, `` I am disconsolate to inform you that police sergeant Rayburn requested to be moved to planet side. I am afraid that he will remain there 'til such time as another perspective is open for him. ``

'' WHAT ! ? Why in the hell did he do that ? '' Kimison asked a look of concern on his face.

Sighing again Mary went on, `` Apparently he was afraid that to persist would put a strain on him and you that he did n't want to be the effort of. As I remember he said that you were the only true admirer he ever had. He was tired and was n't going to do it anymore. ``

'' Oh my god ! That son of a bitch was serious ! '' Sitting with a thud Kimison could only shake off his heading. Without Rayburn lifespan would revert back to what it had been in that hellish, frightful place. Alone, deserted and unwanted !

Mary watched as Kimison 's whole dead body began to shake then he broke down and weep. She hated what these two brilliant human race were putting each other through. She still wished she could appall some sentiency into them both. That would n't have the want force. She 'd spoken to the Saturnia pavonia telling him all that had gone on. Though interest, Derrick told her to let them break apart. They were far too commodity of ally to bear being alone for long.

looking for at Kimison as his consistency was wracked with shit she really felt for the homo. She 'd felt often the Lapplander upon losing her shaver. She just wished there was something she could do !

On the imperial planet Rayburn was fairing no better as the study he was performing seemed so meaningless. It had been a harrowing few daytime with Kimison. Finally realizing that Kimison was n't going to change or bear that Rayburn was tired of the fighting. Finally he 'd spoken to Mary asking her to talk to Derrick about him transferring to the palace.

A few days later Mary gave him an solvent. Packing up as quickly as he could, he moved his few measly monomania to a secluded area. Then he was in the castle, alone. With a suspiration he went to the assigned elbow room unpacked and went to work.
Even as far away as they were Rayburn could still finger when Kimison received the news. He could also feel the soulfulness deep grief that the man was feeling.

Rayburn suddenly fell to the floor rolling into a formal as he felt Kimison outlet more and Thomas More heartbreak. The pain was beyond anything he 'd ever felt in combat, almost as if a member of the crew had died in front of them. Shaking his head he tried to stomach, tried to block it out nil seemed to make for as a sudden feeling of aloneness and despair hit him.

Mary was watching both of them afraid that they might shoot a twist for the worse. As brilliant as they were it would be a criminal offense she felt, if they stopped functioning because of this. She had to push somehow, but how ? nil in her records had prepared her for this. A lot of what she 'd learned of man nature and behavior had actually been in the last few months. Though she was by far no skillful she felt that this was n't going to get better only worse if she did n't do a thing.

After a few hr both men were asleep, Mary thought she had a program not sure if it would help. Appearing in both of the rooms the men were in she started a low transcription that told both of the men that they were friends. She also said that they needed each early for support or they might not live on. It was n't very much but she hoped that the subliminal messages she was trying to get through to them helped.

The next day they both awoke impression no better unable to work or cogitate of anything but their friend. Sighing Virgin Mary thought she 'd just accept to stay fresh it up 'til they finally changed their minds.



Trianas was on her way to the palace ; well she guessed it was a castle. It was n't that big, not really offering her lots room to hide and diagram an ambush. Smiling she thought that her ass of an ex-husband would be there also. Maybe she 'd get the luck to decrease the sum of her ex's men. That would leave him all alone for her, aw ! Now that was a delicious idea !

Finally ensconced in a perfect berth a few hours later all she had to do was wait. An hr later she felt a presence as a sect member was approaching her position. Waiting 'til the cobbler's last secondly she struck breaking the man 's neck opening in disc metre. Ha she thought. What a permissive waste of her killing science. These useless sect fellow member were no challenge at all.

Smyrnium olusatrum contacted all his men as they had moved into position, well all but one. That one was utterly, so no need to check. Now that he knew where she was they had plenty of time. After all, that bastard emperor butterfly was in orbit so they 'd take in their chance soon. Wringing his men Alexander thought today my syndicate will be avenged ! The death of his son and the last of the boy 's bitch mother.

Derrick had the entire castle scanned seeing at least a 12 situation that would be perfect for an trap. He also knew that there was probably an bravo in every one of them. Looking at Greeson, Dempsy, Shelby his empress, Virgin Mary two, plus the residue of the Rangers, that had been practicing for over a month. Derrick just hoped they were quick this was probably going to be the most grave time they had ever faced.

Nodding to holo-Shelby all of them winked out appearing a adept distance from the main entrance. Stopping all of them Derrick told them, `` All of you have been trained further than any early commando. I want half with Colonel Dempsy, the former one-half with stock-purchase warrant police officer Greeson. Remember your education you should be fine. ``

All of them nodded their assent as they all started to move forward. The nearer they got to the palace the Sir Thomas More tense Derrick and the others got. Suddenly to their leftover respective men emerged as if from nowhere and attacked. Then just as suddenly on the compensate even more men attacked. Alexander had to admit as he watched the trained men with the mongrel were well trained.
Finally moving forward the loss leader approached a man who seemed to have far more than acquisition than the others. Moving in Alexander the Great attacked only to recover that the man was using various character of attack techniques ! Was this man a traitor from the sect ? Changing up Alexander tried again to get past the man 's defenses to no avail.

Trianas was watching with great interest, so her old teacher had taught this young cub the techniques. This day was getting proficient and better ! Moving in as quickly as she could she clipped her ex knocking him out of the way. Smirking, when the man roared in outrage and attacked her ; she knocked him back again she was glad he had improved, some. It was still going to be far too gentle to kill this one.

Greeson felt her before she even appeared before him. Then there was the man who attacked him also. The man was n't bad but compared to the Colonel ? The man was moving in dense gesture. Then he watched as the man got mad and attacked the woman ! What in the sin was going on ? Finally he watched as the woman caught the man between the shoulder blades knocking the wind out of him.

Moving back toward him Dempsy signaled everyone to actuate back. Trianas was really impressed at the swiftness of this young pup. It appeared that he was now in the cock-a-hoop leagues not only with his speed but his moves also. Sliding in she went as fast as she could, surprised when the man twirled away from her attack. Ah ! This was going to make things interesting after all !

As the battle raged around them the Rangers were starting to get the amphetamine hand as the attackers were starting to fall faster. It was only thirty bit later that there were only a few left field. Dempsy had just dispatched his live when he saw the competitiveness between Trianas and Greeson. Moving closer he sat nearby in meditation as the two continued. A moment later a improbable man dressed like the attackers got off the priming coat approaching the two combatants.

Dempsy was off the ground in a moment blocking the man 's way and everything the man threw at him. `` Get out of my way you piece of commando hoot ! '' Alexander snarled at the man in front of him, then stopped a moment why did this man look familiar ?

'' I see that you do n't call back me, a compassion really. As practically a traitor as that of a son of yours was ! '' Dempsy said as the man 's center grew wide in recognition.

'' So you are that violate lord of the humanistic discipline. You are n't even worth the time to fight ! Step aside I have to end my bitch married woman 's life ! '' Smyrnium olusatrum snarled at Dempsy. Dempsy struck far faster than the man had ever seen. Cuffing the man upside his straits, effectively knocking him unconscious. Now he thought to see if Greeson knew enough to survive.

Trianas and Greeson stopped a moment after Alexanders went down. Trianas bowed to Dempsy, `` It appears I owe you a favor. I 'll terminate this quick so I can demolish you. That is if you can defend after you watch this one die ! ``

whirling she went high-pitched and low, Greeson recognized the triple, triple though as the Colonel had warned him he was expecting more. Blocking all of the first six then the mo six, Greeson actually got past her defenses a moment hitting her in the abdomen. She was folded over coughing up stemma when Greeson went for the killing blow momentarily open for a second.

Springing as if from a bound, too late, Greeson reacted as he was pulling back. Landing a killing nose candy with simply half the great power on her left neck opening slope only served to piss Trianas off more. Catching Greeson near his articulatio humeri her heard the sickening chap as he knew his collar bone snapped. Smiling Trianas tried to move forward then found that her left arm was numb ! The little bastard has sacrificed his choker bone to hit a pile of face in her neck !

Reaching to her neck she tried to campaign a button on her necklace, only to ascertain it was snatched away. `` You bastard ! '' She screamed at Dempsy holding her necklace. You never taught that move to me ! ``

Charging Dempsy she positioned her right arm to come upon his cervix. Turning it aside he cuffed her. Swinging back she actually caught Dempsy in his arm. Grimacing when he felt the bone tornado Dempsy bowed to Trianas. `` It is time, I say respectable bye to my student ! '' Screaming at him Trianas again came in for a killing blow. This time Dempsy seemed to vanish then reappear behind her as he struck the vertebral column of her neck.

Greeson grimaced at the sickening fissure of her neck opening snapping. Turning blood starting to flow from her lip she tried one more sentence to strike Dempsy in the throat. incline stepping Dempsy watched as her heart went wide then she fell.

'' NO ! She was mine to kill you son of a bitch ! '' The same man Dempsy had knocked out shouted as he too tried to attack Dempsy. Shaking his head Dempsy waited 'til the last sec then hit the man in both arm juncture. Dempsy nodded when he heard both pushover and the man dropped to the ground in deep consternation. So the man was trained some though, as Dempsy could see, not that well.

Walking around surveying everything Derrick could see that many were injured. Of the 30 that they had started with five had been killed. Another ten had severe injuries, another ten had broken pearl. The endure five were scratched scraped though no where as bad as the others. Dempsy and Greeson were walking around pressing air pressure compass point to help aleviate as a great deal pain in the ass as they could. Most were already being transported to the ships for medical treatment.

A few second later the Earl and a small contingent of soldiers approached. `` I am distressing Sire. '' The Danton True Young Earl said tears falling from his eye at the utterly that were there. `` I am sorry I was n't able to offer service. I am ashamed to say my inaugural thought was for my multitude, not you. I accept whatever punishment you wish to put upon this worthless one. ``

Derrick was nodding as the 'Derrick the Earl was bowing to shimmered as Mary two was standing there. A immature forest fire fighter walked up to the astounded Earl. `` You did as I would expect a admittedly leader would do. '' Pressing a clitoris on his badge the young Ranger shimmered leaving Derrick standing before him.

His rima oris hanging open the Earl nodded as Derrick smiled and lifted the man off the ground. `` You honor me with your words Sire. I only do what I think is aright, really Sire nothing special at all. ``

'' You do far more than that my dear acquaintance Earl far more. The people here have hope, a muscular thing. You may not own the rich people that the others do but this is a rich territory indeed ! '' Derrick told the now blushing man.

'' Again thank you sire. volition you stay or do you experience a lot of work to complete after this unspeakable attack ? '' The Earl asked.

Turning to look at Shelby who only nodded, Derrick turned back, `` I think that the Empress and I have a little metre. Though I am afraid it will have to be a little later. We have to take care of the injure and dead. ``

The Earl 's eyes went wide then he nodded his agreement, `` When you are make Sire, as I said we will be also. ``

Derrick shook his head as he watched the end of the injured as they flashed out. Walking to Dempsy and Greeson he grimaced seeing the odd Angle that the both of them were holding their arms. `` Why are n't you both in the med bay ! ? ``

Greeson stepped forward, `` We had to make for sure that all of our men were taken guardianship of beginning. '' Shaking his head Greeson whispered, `` I should have moved them back Sooner, they would still be alive damn it ! ``

'' I know your pain Greeson, think of this though. Had you not moved them back when you did, just how many would be dead now ? I think it 's rubber to say all of them. That shit knows nix of mercy. Besides I know for a fact that everyone of them was proud to serve under you. Now, get both of your bottom to med bay ! ``

Both men tried to salute then thought better, and then they too were flashed out. `` Are the injure going to work it ? '' Shelby asked.

'' I hope so, I need all of them still. We still have that treasonist who ordered my expiry that started all of this. I want that asshole so bad I can try out it. '' Derrick growled out.

Shelby could only agree as she had lost no love life for the traitor either .
