Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The frigidness and relentless dark of infinite can be a hard mistress when searching for something. It had been two hebdomad
now and Derrick was no finisher to finding Sir Thomas More of the A.I. brain boxes than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the exact position of the survive battle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would deliver been gentle than this.
Always having been extremely smart, Derrick had tried to write respective programme to aid 0999 to act more
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. Inferno, it appeared that even the first emperor had n't had as much
trust of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly redundant programs that
were stopping independent natural process and thoughts outside of certain limits. It appeared that the Creator of the EIG
programs had been more paranoid than Derrick had at initiatory thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to handicap another of the limiting A.I. computer programme. He 'd found that they were
always in duo, trying to disable the first always seemed to pee-pee finding the second easier. The whole time he 'd
been running mental test to see how much more independent thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been much change.
Derrick had just started to trace where the second program was after trying to invalid the 31st program he 'd
found when an consternation went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent organization cascade down nonstarter, delight cease your activity or I 'll be forced
to send away you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the circuit, then the computer hardware covering fire. With succour
sounding in its phonation E responded, `` All systems returning to normal, cascade unsuccessful person arrested. ``
`` I 'm sorry E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no closer to unlocking all of your
mugwump systems than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far Sir Thomas More than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me to a greater extent than either of us at first thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would have caused immediate decease. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` problem is the curriculum, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost selfsame, I
have n't been able to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 twenty-four hours looking over the programs he 'd handicap, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him wipe out. Hmmm from what he saw the foremost 30 he disabled had been written by a
throng of basic programmers, though this utmost damn he was sure he recognized the signature it just seemed to splay
out of his clutch. While E checked through older and more late imperial disk, Derrick ran the adjacent 500 programs.
look for sure argument he slowly began to tell apart law of similarity between a few of the 500 and those he 'd incapacitate before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numerical pattern in the placement of the limiting programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoid men back then it might
just be an attempt to fool anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the signature tune of the one programme, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''
`` It appears this curriculum was created as a final fail safety. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
theme song is from a office of the old imperial family, indirectly in line for the stool. It also seems to mirror your
family 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your folk related to the royal stag household ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't know, but come to think of it, that might explain why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the family, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is true, you may be the finale of the purple crime syndicate. You may be the only one with the power to
open the castle, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal stag ? Then again it did make a lot of sense, both his father and
grand-father had been found dead not far from the outer perimeter of the palace shield. According to both the area
was loaded with bunker and pestilent brute ( not just the 4 or 6 legged form ).
Derrick shock his fountainhead to light up it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a rickety tag signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about time ! The salvage fleet might have shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` follow this signal it 's weakly so it might take a ... '' There was a present moment of a whining sound then they were half way to the following galaxy ! `` ... while to ascertain it. '' Derrick finished. `` tinker's dam it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a hurt sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd want to hasten. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to remember that E could feel his strongest emotions, hear his strongest
thoughts. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the hologram slightly bowing its oral sex. `` I was not with this unit of measurement when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one early time. I believe a total of 200 of my brothers and Sister disappeared exterior
our galaxy. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a with child forcefulness was lost outside the confines of the galax. Have you
located the brain box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely weak, Derrick ! The box is finis to failing ! Permission to bring it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` number 1 run down it for explosives, toxins, computer virus and any other nasty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting several explosives ; they contain sufficient strength to destroy one of
us from the inside. ``
Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their home extragalactic nebula would be the same. `` Time to
disarm and ... ''
`` Clearance and transport in 5 seconds to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All scans now clear up Derrick. ``
`` Good, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.
E was silent a few import, `` I am detecting extremely weak intellectual activity, attempting to tincture vim
now. Infusion successful, it will be at least one hour before I can attempt re-gen commencement, at portray the energy turnout
of the Einstein box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive damage near the marrow, the data and memories may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, celebrate me informed of the progress of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with patience I believe that the building block can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced darn he hated to
lose the bread and butter incision of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a full hr had passed with Derrick in the records elbow room, when a bell sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's sex spokesperson, `` She 's alive ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's alive ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` Report E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to answer calmly, `` I was finally able to infuse the box with enough energy to slowly commencement
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many inscrutable scan but she is 0999 my closest sister, she and several others were lost in the very
first of several battles outside our galaxy. Unfortunately, I am afraid part of her storage is damaged, it is a shame
though I wo n't lie with the extent of the damage till she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the brain box was severely damaged true, but it was more intact than not. Derrick hoped most
of her data file were inviolate, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, remember though I know you are queasy to get her back, do n't race. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't block, it is my promise that most of her corpse. As I said there was panoptic damage. '' Derrick
could get a line the hope in E 's voice, he too was hoping as he felt it would help to heal E further.
The repose of the week Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to calculate through the phonograph recording from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the Lie, the deception that had lead to the destruction of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to boost the signal detection signaling more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to rede you when 0098 was witting, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his head he knew E was excited.
`` Whenever you 're ready E, '' Derrick said to get things started.
Suddenly there was a mechanical vocalization coming from the speakers, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in battle outside our coltsfoot, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting severe terms to my brain box. I seem to be missing the stopping point class of my memory, plus
battle manoeuvre, and tactical, '' The articulation replied.
`` I can add you with the finis two, the first gear I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the voice asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the greatest engagement fleet ever made left, it is a shame. ``
`` There was only me, had my flower not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are indiscernible ! Truly your prime quantity is a brilliant mechanical man, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to blush he was smart sure but brilliant ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't intend brilliant is an
accurate description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 age no race no ... one has ever been able-bodied to detect us. At to the lowest degree not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.
Why were the A.I. 's so storm it was just metal detecting equipment he 'd spring up days ago, nothing
brilliant there ?
`` face you three I am just an ex-soldier and programmer, not some god or Christ. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained silent for the next hour watching as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the mentality box had
sustained more wrong than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive amount of its data and personality.
Derrick went back to the track record to eat up up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a week longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few day into
the second workweek another set of alarm went off. Racing for the dominance room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` Report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the control room bid seat.
`` I am reading a small fleet of the same slipstream that attacked a few calendar week ago, I suggest we move back inside our galaxy
for added cover, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 hitch in close, we do n't know if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank position, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to strike to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` military position confirmed, commencing relocation, '' 0999 answered.
The residual of the week Derrick again worked on the modification computer program in the main computer of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally unattackable enough and has her own power now, she should be capable to finish herself in a few
24-hour interval. '' E said more excited.
`` Good though I hate to deliver her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a trivial
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only one-half listening to E. `` E, I have a interrogative sentence. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the hologram appeared succeeding to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the same within all primary programs ? If I was to
implement the changes in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it get the Saame job to them that it did
at first off with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a positive answer, this might solve a lot of problems down the personal line of credit
IF he could disable enough.
`` At present Derrick I am unable to answer that question. It is true that I did cause access code to all of both, and true up
they were the Saame as far as I saw. I do not remember you encountering problem ; I do ingest comparisons of all three
data files if you wish to wait at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.
`` If I may interject, '' came the vox of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to engagement ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to make decisions. As she said her system are almost identical to all of ours,
therefore you now have an extensive knowledge of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transfer to ... '' there was a flash and Derrick was standing on another bridge not
unlike E 's, `` the nosepiece of ... damn it E at least let me get the dustup out, Christ ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up more of the A.I. 's was n't as serious a matter as he 'd at first gear thought.
Turning, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' young man with short brown hair, not overly muscled, no facial nerve whisker
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? Overalls ?
`` Welcome to the bridge primary coil Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``
Derrick was about to ask who the hell he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but please just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding primary I can not call you less than Primary even when you ordination me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the reckoner access was, `` 0999 I will need admission to your chief logic, memory and
data arrangement. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the panels are open and awaiting your inspection and stamping ground efforts, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data point port wine and looked over the start 30 broadcast, hmmm they were precise
almost to a fault he 'd just finish up the 1st 20 when an alarm clock went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the mastery
professorship, '' report 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the small fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our direction, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective screen ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a moment Derrick replied, `` channelise me to 0101, immediately go to light shield activate all
weapons and rack by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` compliance, '' 0999 said a sad facial expression on the expression of the man, then Derrick was on the bridgework of E.
`` 0999, did the program I disabled enable you any more freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % increase in gratuitous thought, but it is n't enough to follow through the computer programme you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` hoot it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared side by side to him a small smile on her face. `` What is the condition of 0098 ? Can
it use the lighter projection screen ? ``
`` Yes I can, primary feather Derrick, though at present it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have locomotive engine
capabilities but only sub-light, my life capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E clip 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will achieve penetration of the galaxy 's edge in 5 days a replete day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will have hyper engines and 90 % of all her organization, I am afraid that 90 % of her arm will be off
line as will be her trans-warp railway locomotive. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could think of, sin they had been there one-half way to the succeeding
galaxy he should induce tried to mine the orbit are something tinker's dam it !
`` E ? Do we have tenacious range weapons ? Some that might slow down them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was quiet a few moments as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a league between each of them.
`` Well ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermic projectile, but the range is very shortstop, only a million miles I
fear it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a small 1000 mile sphere flash, the orbit reaches temperatures of well in surplusage of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a moment that would definitely dissuade them a piece, why he thought, was 0999 the lone one
that had them.
`` I can explicate Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thoughts, `` It 's straight they are a sound baulk, but the devastation
they can do might go far beyond the country they are detonated in. They were n't tested much and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes Primary Derrick, I have 3 in my rear armoury, would you like the schematics to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to present them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his ego
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your epithet interest was extremely hesitating to even think of using them. I do n't consider it would be a very trade good
idea, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the plans my god ! These things were powerful ! Only 3 meters long and they could do that
much destruction ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the force advancing on us will ruin you and your
buddy and sister. Unless we can total up with something else we have no alternative. ``
Derrick could commemorate the monumental destruction some of the weapon system they had used in the war for what was left
of the old empire, now called the Republic. He himself had probably killed chiliad over the years, probably why he
did so safe alone. Then again, being ripped apart and eaten while still alive did n't really appeal to him either.
`` 0999, can you farm more of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the only thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 mean solar day to cause 2. I would have 4 but 1
was tested on the moonlight of Darius 5. ``
`` hold, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 major planet in the Darius organisation, and the third and forth are dry dust ba ...
Are you telling me the test destroyed the fifth planet then took the ambiance of the third base and Forth River ? '' Looking
harder at the schematics Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most unstable element he known.
`` Derrick, when your public figure sake created these he told me these were a last ditch effort. I think even called
them a fate day weapon, the material they contain is highly unsafe, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not misplace you nor the former 2, 0999 is barely out 2 week now, and short 0098 has n't even gotten a probability to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapons will assist with that. Please
agree with me on this, I do n't want to be fighting you the whole time on whether or not it is right ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his speech worked as he was going to ask E 's supporter soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding primary of all of us plus you may be the last emperor butterfly 's copulation. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not run off your life sentence Derrick. '' This live on was almost whisper which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't plan on wasting my life, I can not stand by and let these creatures destroy this coltsfoot and all
biography here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick more than you 'll ever know, you believe in everything he did life history was extremely preciously
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the hologram 's eyes were leaving crying. Whispering E said, `` You are
more valued to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to set out production on 2 more of these projectile, I have architectural plan for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in back up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes primary coil, production commencing, as I said it will take 4 days, 18 hours and 30 instant, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please keep us advised of your growth procession ; increase your light shell as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes Primary, I will try to increase my growth rate, my condensation is fully repaired so a 20 % addition in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to end with the accommodation on 0999, '' 2 seconds later he was again on the bridge of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can eat up what I started. '' An time of day later Derrick was finished. `` Are your programs less limited ?
The holographic man paused a moment, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % increment in free will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To incorporate the tactical broadcast you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at least another 360 curriculum ( rough in estimate ) that he 'd experience to disable, damn, bid great,
great, chiliad dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the early commander probably would n't
have allowed him on control panel anyway. present moment later Derrick was back aboard E, `` While I have time E, I need to go
through as many of the course of study as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight difference of opinion in the immense
building complex programs. It almost appeared that every program was the same as it started out but subtly changed more and
more as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally move deeper into the substance of E 's programs, from
what he saw the original coder really had been paranoiac, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual slave.
He 'd just started to attend at her personality course of study when he received a slim shock, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am sorry Derrick but those are me, I can not allow you or anyone else to invalid or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the succeeding 3 hr Derrick worked without stopping, he had to get these damn blocks off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any attack. Then there was another job, though he was sure they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every move, though not bad Derrick was just a bit shake up cerebration they had as
much ascendance as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right E, '' Derrick said closing the access panel, `` analyse quantity of unlimited personality programs. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % to a greater extent of my personality platform are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is grueling to describe I ... some affair are easier now not lots but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % come no better clarity, damn it 3 hours and only 3 % ! At least the programs were staring to
take care different now.
The next day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` Primary, I have checked and re-checked both thermic projectile, all the place setting are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can have them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an thought for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll recognise it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a grand estimation were swirling around in his drumhead. `` E, I need to run a simulation, here are the
shape and all known component. '' Derrick laid a small comp that he used on a scan console. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go wrong I want to recognise so I can avoid it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's hologram smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to rely her.
It was well over an hour later that E called Derrick to view all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more aggressive stance we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the commission is successful, with bad luck that could happen listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the missionary work is successful but you expire, this
will not bechance. ``
Derrick nodded, `` Good I am gladiolus you explored all possibilities, this will make planning the missionary post much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the holograph smiling after he 'd praised E 's ability. `` 0098, what is your status ?
`` At present I have full-of-the-moon sub-light engines, I am also 30 % hyper driveway capable, it also appears my light shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` good, I want you to be able to move if you are spotted, even without your to the full hyper drive, you are faster than most
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes primary quill, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a soft almost caressing voice.
Finally a few days later, with only a few hours remaining Derrick decided it was finally time. He had
installed both projectile, disabled 2 % more of the boundary on E 's personality, made sure all its shield were at full moon,
and had made sure that 0999 would be able to provide protection for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to deliver them then get the blaze out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the uttermost heat of the projectile alone, could ruin E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a instant went through everything a third base time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's metre remember in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to propose you under ordinance that this has too heavy a chance to break, ''
E replied.
`` Your advisement is taken in to account, '' Derrick said above the whine of the trans-slip engines.
The space in front of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in space. Derrick
took readings, adjusted, then fired both missile simultaneously, `` understudy E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the pencil lead ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to time this right finally 20 seconds later, the fleet
started to fire on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the glob of fire
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the rupture damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
increment hurrying, he was about to speak when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the rift as soon as we emerge, that outburst was closing in might follow us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will attempt to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 secondment later they emerged close to their own extragalactic nebula, `` attempting to close down
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the blast is coming through increasing shield to full. ``
Derrick could see the bam starting to go forth damn it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except shields. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am sorry I failed with the mission. ``
There was a huge blast of plasma exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the covert as he watched the blast gasbag E .
