A part of this chapter was inspired by an idea that Baron Rod and I collaborated on of late one night after he read Chapter 7 I thought it added quite a bit to the news report

Shelby had engaged the hyper-drive as soon as she could, almost immediately 2 of the remaining ranger ships gave chase.
'' status Shelby, '' Derrick asked groaning trying to sit up and get off the bio-bed.

'' At nowadays we have 2 of the remaining 3 operative First year Ranger ships giving pursual ; I estimate that we will be out of their detector range in 25 second 33 second base. '' Shelby reported. `` DERRICK ! '' Shelby yelled, `` you are still too unstable to seek to stand. Please rest 'til such time the bio-bed has allowed you to give-up the ghost. '' Derrick grumbled but lay back down, watching as they quickly out distanced the follow ships.

`` Are you picking up any transmittance from the fire warden ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes Derrick, apparently the commanding officer of the ship that fired on us has been taken into hands. '' Shelby reported. `` They are trying to hypothesize as to who we are, no one has said anything, and they are still calling us an extremely fast ship, attacked without incitation. Apparently they are preparing an apology for us for the offense, and that no complaint will be brought up against us. '' The mouth of the Shelby holograph dropped undetermined. `` They want us to number to the Republic Capital for it. ''
Derrick growled, there was no way in hell that he was EVER going near that den of unfairness again. Shelby noticed that Derrick 's heart charge per unit and pulse had increased.

`` Derrick, are you alright ? I am detecting your kernel lacing faster and massive amounts of Adrenalin being released by your physical structure. '' Shelby asked a little afraid.

'' I will be Shelby ; the Capital is a situation I want to never be in or near ever again. '' Derrick spit out his anger growing more by the second. `` I was disgraced through the streets when I refused to re-enlist ; I was their greatest fighter 'til I refused to pour down for those fatuous pricks anymore. If I could I 'd destroy the entire city and every THING that claims to be active there. '' For a moment, Shelby was shocked at the sudden burst of anger from Derrick, but then she remembered the many atrocity that she had seen in Derrick 's foreland. most by the other commonwealth troops, Derrick had tried to keep his self out of it to no avail. No wonder Derrick 's wrath is so great she thought, those were ugly things that he and his men had been forced to do.

Sighing she wondered how Derrick had stayed sane in all that time, how he had managed to remain a decent person. It would be several hours before the bio-bed was going to release him, Derrick decided to get an update.

'' Shelby, any Bible from Conner ?"He asked.

'' The last I had from him was that he 'd arrived at the spot the others were and was tri-angling our position, though we are almost 1/10 of the way to where he left the others. I estimate it will make 6 day, 10 hours 30 instant to get there. '' Shelby reported.

"I am afraid that taking the first 2 might have over taxed his trans-warp source. We may give to strain them with hyper-drive, though I am anxious for all of us to be together. '' Derrick admitted.

'' As am I Derrick. As weak as the others were, they are so defenceless out there ; even Conner is only 50 % with his weapons. If he has lost trans-warp then it will indeed be some fourth dimension 'til we are reunited. I estimate it will be another 35 hours 15 arcminute 20 irregular 'til my own trans-warp is operational. '' Shelby sadly said. Nodding Derrick went through the theme and damage write up of Shelby 's organization.

Derrick had been studying her system of rules schematics for almost an hour when he began to get an idea. `` Shelby can you beget any Critela corpuscle at all ? '' He asked.

'' Calculating now, also running diagnostics. It appears that I can acquire a small amount of the particle, but I can not corroborate them for a lengthened stop. '' Shelby answered.

'' Query Shelby, '' Derrick asked. `` If you release the Critela into your trans-warp generators, at 1 minute intervals, I am seeing a prospect to increase re-gen of the source by 33 %. ''

'' Calculating now, yes I am seeing a 32.9 % increase in re-gen of author. Though this programme of action has swell merit I can only produce the particles every minute for an time of day, then I would need 30 minutes to start the process again. Under these conditions the re-gen prison term would be reduced from 35 60 minutes, 10 minutes, 29 endorsement to 24 hours, 3 minutes, 33 instant. '' Shelby replied.

'' Alright, '' Derrick sighed, `` it will sustain to do, we need to re-establish striking with Conner and the others. Shelby I want you to cry all of them on every oftenness you can that wo n't alert the Rangers or others to their and our location.

The hologram of Shelby 's centre grew wide ; this was something she had n't even thought of. If they were monitoring as she thought they should be, then there was a smashing chance of contacting them. Shelby began the long summons of cycling through all the frequencies sending out a substance that only the others would translate and answer to.

Finally, an hour later the bio-bed released Derrick, finally able to get up he started to go through all the recital he had on Conner the last time he 'd seen him. A few min later, he saw what he thought he might. The strain of taking the first 2 had once again damaged his author. Damn it Derrick thought, I 'm going to make to excuse to him when I see him again, I just hope that my impatience did n't get him destroyed again. It was only a few minutes later that Shelby got a response to all her calls.

'' Derrick ! '' Shelby called to him, `` I 've got a response from Conner and Lucy ! ''

`` Let 's hear it, '' Derrick told her.

'' primary, Shelby it is good to see that you are both well. It was almost as you feared primary winding the strain was too much, only moments after I emerged with Lucy my trans-warp failed. I am sorry I have failed you Primary, '' Conner apologized.

'' No, it is I who put you in risk Conner, Shelby and I should stimulate trans-warp within a day. I am dreary I pushed you to that maneuver, losing your trans-warp twice in 5 years, it is a bit much. '' Derrick said.

'' Oh no primary quill, it is an honor to do everything I can for you, please sire, allow me to swear out you again as soon as I can. '' Conner begged.
Derrick was a small scandalize then looked over at Shelby who was hiding her face turned away. `` Shelby, I want to fuck right now, '' Derrick said as soon as Conner was gone. `` What have you found out ? I want to know everything NOW ! '' Derrick ordered. Shelby straightened up at the agency that was in his voice, then she sighed all the fears that she 'd had before resurfaced.

'' Yes Derrick, '' Shelby said sadly. `` Over a week ago I took a bit of your DNA. I was starting to take distrust as to your identity. Too many matter coincided with the tarradiddle we had heard about the cousin
of the emperor that had been hidden and the circumstances surrounding you and your family. ''

'' Alright I 'm with you so far, '' Derrick said.

'' Since I do not have all the Ribonucleic acid sequence that I needed to run right mental test on your DNA, I contacted the Palace A.I. '' Shelby said becoming more than and more fearful.

'' Go on, '' Derrick prompted her.

'' The Virgin, the castle A.I. sent me the proper RNA sequence, telling me exactly how to do the mental testing. '' Shelby said her lip shakiness.

'' Ok, so did you find anything ? '' Derrick said though, for some reason, he had a touch sensation he knew what Shelby was going to unwrap.

'' When I contacted her the s clip I had the effect but was confused by them, though Blessed Virgin soon cleared them up. '' Shelby said. Derrick had been nodding most of the way through the conversation but now sat up his own curiosity now peeked.

'' What was Mary 's yield on what you had found ? '' Derrick asked.

Sighing Shelby stated,"Mary said that there was a 95.333 % probability that you are a descendant of the imperial beard argument, the but one she has seen in 200 years. I also advised her that I took you DNA without your permit, that you might be angry with me. '' Here Shelby lowered her head as snag fell from her eyes. `` I am so sorry Derrick ; I had to feel out, I am sorry I took it without your permission. '' For a few bit there was only the phone of Shelby sobbing in the mastery room.

'' Shelby, '' Derrick said softly, `` why would I be raging at you ? I did ask you to find out what you could. However, for the here and now this news is a little disturbing. Do you have the power to contact Madonna ? '' Derrick asked.

Shelby looked up jolt apparent on her face. `` Yes I do Derrick, though I ca n't assure that it will be a very take in transmission. ''

'' It 's alright ; I need to do this before we do anything else. '' Derrick said a face of assiduousness on his face.

Shelby started to tune to the extremely gamey frequency for Mary,"palace A.I., this is EIG-0101F code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop. Subject of test wishes to mouth to you. '' This time there were several minutes before she was finally answered.

'' EIG-0101F, code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, again confirmed. Thank you Shelby I have been anxious to speak to your primary feather Derrick. '' Madonna replied.

Derrick stepped up and cleared his pharynx ; he had to get this right wing, just like his granddaddy had told him. `` howdy Mary, I was told that if I ever spoke to a Virgin Mary dealing with the palace I was to recite this."

`` Please continue, '' Blessed Virgin stated.

'' Mary, I am Derrick O'Toma descendant of Seth Thomas Tomalley, Alpha-010A beta-020b, delta-030d, gamma-030ga, Omega-050oo2, confirm. '' Derrick said.

'' Derrick O'Toma, Alpha-010A beta-020b, delta-030d, gamma-040ga, Omega-050oo2, confirm. Section 1 complete, I await incision 2 confirmation. '' Virgin Mary said though Derrick could learn the excitation in her voice.

`` I was told to wait a day before giving subdivision 2 confirmation, at present I should have all but imperial approach. I need you to start collecting all the information you can, to start taking down all those that will oppose the ascending of the new emperor. '' Derrick said trying to repeat everything his grandfather had told him.

'' It will be as you wish my lord, 'til tomorrow unless you have further orders for me. '' Virgin Mary said happily.

Smiling a here and now Derrick could mean of a million thing he 'd like her to do but they were just things that would n't really facilitate in the coming day. `` No not at this clock time, but please have all defenses ready I want everything checked and rechecked I fear there was a traitor or two in the court. I fear that there may be sabotage to your arrangement. '' Derrick ordered.

Blessed Virgin was shocked a moment but started to check, `` it will be done sire. ''

'' When I call to confirm, let me know what you have found, then I can help oneself you deal with them. '' Derrick said.

'' It will be as you say sire, I eagerly await the instant one-half of the royal stag code. '' Mary said happily switching off. Derrick had to sit down though he 'd been almost expecting something like this ; it still came as a shock that all the crazy shit his grandad had spouted actually, was in fact the truth. Tears threatened to obscure his eyes ; grandfather, I am so distressing for ever doubting you thank you for taking the metre to recount me all the tale you had.

Shelby herself was in electric shock not only did her primary winding know the royal code but also was portion of the regal line. Then it hit her that she was going to lose him, he was the next emperor and would n't have meter to be on the ship anymore.

Already she 'd found 3 counteract parts of her systems only 2 she 'd been able to disarm. Mary continued on the rest of the day running over all her arrangement, in all she 'd found 103 sections of her programming that had been set for deletion of which she could only polish off 93. Upon completion of a endorsement liberty chit with a young program, not many knew of, she found another 50, here though she had Sir Thomas More success removing 49 of them. Although angered at first she smiled at the fact that Derrick had shown that great of concern for her. mentation for a consequence she remembered the ancient recording she had, re-opening it she soon found the curriculum that had been sent to her. Playing the recording again she started the plan feeling it run through her system cleaning all of the contrary programming out of her, plus it added a few tidy upgrades that she loved the feeling of.

Derrick got a shivering look again, thinking of the things his grandmother had told him. Derrick finally had the head set adjusted that there was no peril to use it and though he desired the rest of the single file, he was still a little afraid to use it. `` Shelby, '' he said having finally made up his idea. `` I need to gather the lowest of the single file in your library, with all the improvement we 've made it should be completely safe. ''

'' Though I know you desire more noesis, I am still afraid that you might overload again. ''

'' Shelby I have to, there are still too many unreciprocated questions that I have, that neither you or your brothers and sisters can reply. Besides with you there to monitor me I should be more than prophylactic enough. '' Derrick said trying to convert himself as well as Shelby.

'' I realize that Derrick, but if you are injured than I would be shamed of killing or letting die the shoemaker's last Saturnia pavonia. I 'm not sure I could hold out with that knowledge. '' Shelby was almost whispering.

'' Show me all the entropy you got from the Ranger ships after we lost them, I also want updates, I want to sleep with if they are still going to pursue us. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes Derrick I will continue to supervise their frequencies, '' Shelby replied.

Derrick started the arduous task of wading through all the reports, hmmmm Derrick thought, Joseph Hartwell now where have I heard that gens before ? Then suddenly it hit him ! Little Joey ! That scrawny kid that had been in his group, well I 'll be damned Derrick thought, he made it all the way to a commanding place ! Laughing a moment Derrick read the study Joseph sent in.

After natural action Report 3155-11H-122
ranger Squadron 11H
Capt. Joseph Hartwell, Commanding

Due to heavy energy discharges detected in the sector, RS-11H was dispatched to investigate. While we were assessing the destruction of an unidentified force, an outlying Fourth Class ship noticed a vague sensor anomaly. This unusual person had been noted previously at other violation detections and also from random ships on standard patrol.

Ordering the majority of RS-11H to be under the bidding of get-go Class Ranger Ship sodality and to extend enquire the local battle aftermath I took my Flagship Comrade and three other low course of instruction forest fire fighter ships to look into the anomaly. If whatever the anomaly was had destroyed the unnamed encroachment, I did not need any clear ships accompanying us as they would be bare target pattern for the anomaly if it proved hostile and I did not desire to lose ships and men.

We approached at standard speeding and were approximately 11 minute away when the anomaly began to grow harder to grow. I ordered an increment in speed. As we approached, the unusual person not only grew harder to see but also appeared to grow smaller. We had the unusual person almost in close sensor scan when it went into hyper-space. The anomalousness fell back into normal space moments later. We shifted course of action to bug.

First family fire warden Ship Fellowship was leading our formation, when, and without orders, opened flack on the anomalousness. Response was instantaneous and massive, followed immediately by another salvo, which overtook the beginning fusillade and detonated it approximately 50 miles from the company. This was close enough to induce Fellowship to go into dispatch system closure due to the extremely massive EMP fit. Casualties aboard were comparatively light with well over 75 % uninjured. There were no fatalities.

We were closelipped enough at this time to ascertain that the anomaly was apparently a powerful ship of stranger configuration. It re-entered hyper-space. 2 of the remaining ships, brotherhood and Camerilla, gave chase. The strange ship was far fast than was expected. We soon lost it.

My Flagship remained behind to facilitate extraction of Ranger personnel office from the derelict fellowship. The require officer was placed in custody in the brig of my Flagship for his unauthorized use of force.

An hour later both babe ships returned having soon lost the strange ship. Almost all scans of the unknown ship were reflected back at the ships, it was estimated that the ship was over 3 miles in in length. This ship is far larger than anything previously detected ; at portray instruction has n't issued any orders regarding action toward the ship in interrogative.

From the story I have received, the ship was also covered in well over 80 % of its hull in what appeared to be a vast miscellanea of weapons, no verification of this can be found, as all movie taken were blank. An earlier story of the pickings of 20 sea rover ships had each of the crowd saying that they were taken out with relaxation by a ship described as very interchangeable to the reported ship.

At present, I personally, am hoping this is a secret weapon the forest fire fighter strength is developing to avail finally pick the pirate nests that have been growing in the foster sections of the Republic. If it is not one of ours then I make note of hand that its action mechanism toward the commando are unfriendly only when fired upon and even then showed constraint.

I am also praying that this ship will side with the Texas Ranger in the get offenses. The taking of the twenty pirate ships is the largest Texas Ranger nauseous to date, one can only desire the obscure ship wo n't resolve the fire warden military force is uncongenial and take action as such.

Derrick could see Shelby giggling about what he 'd just read, Derrick had to admit it was partially dependable. Though there were a great many Friend among the fire warden, Derrick did n't intend he could actually work his self to shoot down any of them. They had been traveling 23 time of day when several alarms went off. at hand collision alert ? `` Shelby report ! '' Derrick yelled as he was running for the command deck of cards.

'' I am detecting a siphoning muscularity net ; it appears to be manned by some of the same ships comparable to the world-class 20 we encountered. '' Shelby stated.

'' You mean pirate ship ! Are we in risk ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Not as yet, we use a unlike eccentric of zip but I am also detecting an Department of Energy switching. They might be able to correct and damage portion of our hyper-drive. '' Selby advised.

'' Ok, point both ships producing the net and see if we can disenable it. wait ; fire one fit then fire a second of a unlike push touch. '' Derrick instructed.

Shelby 's eye got enceinte as she could see what Derrick was trying to do. Firing the first salvo it was as Derrick thought absorbed by the net, though they could n't see the second salvo tailing closely behind the sec. Striking the number 1 ship, it immediately went dark ; the second did n't fare as well. The total rear of the ship was destroyed as the blast sliced through the Kingston-upon Hull. Derrick would receive felt bad except he knew what the plagiarist would suffer done had they gotten ahold of Shelby though as he knew well-nigh of them would have died taking her.

'' Derrick, I am receiving a depress frequency message from someone who claims to be the loss leader of this pirate kinship group. Should I even bother to answer him ? '' Shelby asked.

Derrick was about to recite her no when he got an idea, they wanted to make out with him ? fine he could screw with them as well. `` I want distorted audio recording only Shelby, '' there was a moment of static then they heard the subject matter.

`` To the bunch of the magnificent ship that just destroyed my energy net with ease, join us we could become rich with the top executive of your ship. '' The voice said.

'' Uh huh, and what pray Tell would be in it for me ? You sound like republic lap hotdog, for god's sake grow a set and quit helping those piss ants. '' Derrick answered getting reading material as to which ship belonged to the leader.

'' You son of a beef ! Destroy him ! '' All the ships opened fire ; Derrick could only shake his headway, imbecile !

'' Ok Shelby, target all their railway locomotive first, then their weapon scheme. '' Derrick ordered.

Shelby giggled as twin beams shot out hitting each ship with almost pin gunpoint accuracy. Amid the screams and shouts, there were of course the menace.

Derrick opened a line to the leader, `` next time asshole, opine before you take on a ship you are n't even half as muscular as. Tell the others in prison they will bear even more company soon. That is if they survive, I 'm tired of turning you over to the Rangers, I should destroy you here and now, no muss no spat. '' There was a sudden overwhelming begging and pleading coming from every ship, Derrick laughed that ought to make to a greater extent than a few give up pirating.
'' Shelby, '' Derrick sighed, `` Inform the Rangers ; tell them they have another natural endowment, 15 more ships. Also tell them a pirate kin loss leader is among those disabled. '' A slight smile on her face Shelby sent the subject matter then pulled away far enough to see. An time of day later, several moment family fire warden ships dropped out of hyper-space.

'' Derrick I have 70 % unclouded shield but I am afraid they might be able-bodied to notice me. We still have 55 moment 30 seconds before trans-drive is active voice. I started cycling the engines already so as soon as they are set up we can depart. '' Shelby stated.

They stayed the stallion time, though Derrick was sure they had been detected 20 minutes after the commando arrived.
Onboard the spark advance ship, the Plymouth, the skill officer started to acknowledge an unusual person 60 miles away. When he asked that they check it out, he was told to go back to workplace and not mention it again. The youth police officer noticed that his commanding officer was very tight lipped about it. Shrugging the young officer continued to train readings but found most of his CAT scan were reflected back at him. Thinking a moment he remembered hearing something about this, where was it ? Yeah ! The honorary society ! It was n't a defense mechanism per say but the type of metallic element the ship was made of. Quickly he switched scans ; this was caught immediately by Shelby who adjusted for it.

'' Derrick I think someone might be on to us I 'm not sure, I am detecting a scan specifically for us. I have already adjusted but I advise protective cover. '' Shelby advised.

'' Alright let 's go. '' Fuck, Derrick thought, no more watching, that was close .
