Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female ? What in the Hades were they going to do with a defenseless female. A wry grinning came to his lips then he slapped his side. maledict it Johnathon, now is n't the time to think about that !

Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.

Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit ! The female was still naked !

'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.

'' Why ? She 's a female, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the like equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why trouble with it. Since you 're here though, you can address it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her crony. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can deal it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his head as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, report ! ``

Johnathon appeared a mo later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the starting time of the sterilization that the Tendrax masses are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few solar day. I am still scanning her for any scathe that the oxygen deprivation might have caused. ``

'' Good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Yes, full admiral prime ? '' Johnathon replied.

'' Do something about her not wearing away wearing apparel. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his pharynx. Again he shook his headway, he and the team had been through Scheol, repugnance men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new enlistee on the struggle theatre of operations, pissing his pants. All because of a naked female ? nerve it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten diffused like the air force officer said.

Derrick was about to read a potable when his carpus comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright full admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am sad to disturb you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's wrong, did you have to kill them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female. What in the hell do you await me to do with a naked ... On second intellection do n't suffice that. '' Hartwell said with a look of mortification on his face.

'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.

'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a biography abridgement with a brain box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a small girl and boy began to run roofy around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to break up the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The petty girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only shake his head.

'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.

The picayune young lady turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mr nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick rustle. `` I think I 'm in difficulty, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Madonna said.

Derrick could n't book back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My heartfelt Shelly, it is always a pleasure to see you. ''

A moment later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm pitiful father, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``

Derrick gave Mika a huge smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to make all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, `` Still no word on when Gunter gets back ? ``

Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to take another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``

'' I really hope so beget. The male child and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his married woman. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, commend he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the occupy woman. ‘ They better make it back alive, I do n't bust my word and I do n't want to get going now.'

Mika was nodding her head, `` I just wish that there was n't all this secrecy. ``

Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an embarrassed look on his face. `` At the confront metre, I am afraid that it is necessary. ``

'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the future that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a determined look on her face.



At the edge of the Galax urceolata three small craftsmanship suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to remain on course.

'' You know he 's going to drink down me if I ca n't get this backrest to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the other two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that nigh call near the Tendrax family world. '' One of the former ship's occupier replied.

'' Still they were n't as scary as the Cregons or those goddam Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't lash out him. '' The damaged ship man said.

'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a material impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would need to mate with you ! '' The other ship occupier said.

'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.

'' I 'm not so for sure, '' the kickoff ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' Jesus of Nazareth ! You 're getting Thomas More and more than gross the closer to home we get. Look, just let it cast off and we 'll draw a blank that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian cabin cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.

'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having control board trouble ! '' The first off ship man said.

The second and damaged embark men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a serial publication of ear piercing, shrieking alarm clock that started to go off.

The beginning ship man started to excommunicate when he saw the readings. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a bigger mental picture than you at first thought. ``

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a metre frame for their incursion of the galactic boundary. ``

'' compliance, '' the simple A.I. of the pocket-sized damaged ship replied. `` At present speed they will penetrate the bounds of the Galax urceolata within two workweek, six day. At exhibit scan unable to determine the issue of ships. ``

'' Can you, with entropy provided, generalize the possible size of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an answer. At present, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown factors to study with current data. If this is a spousal relationship challenge party than the number could be as high as fifty to seventy thou. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as xl grand. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three unknown ingredient, what of the tierce ? '' The inaugural shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to datum that was supplied for the tierce gene. If this is a war party then the figure could be as high as, one hundred one thousand. '' The A.I. answered.

'' Shit ! tinker's damn it ! All you had to do was take nice, maybe hit it a trivial. No, you had to go and damn near kill it ! '' The first ship man said.

'' We 're going to have to break communication silence. I do n't require to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The kickoff ship man said.

'' Neither do I. '' The second ship man stated.

'' What ! ? You want me to present his wrath ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to secernate him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.

With a sigh the former two nodded as the initiative opened a comm. `` Like it really matters, he 'd know they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an 60 minutes he tried to send a sign to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a orotund fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the monolithic debris field. Here at the spinal column end of it there were genuine recognizable discussion section of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life polarity at all.

All three of the males could only stare with their mouths open up. The field had to be thousands of kilometre foresightful and wide. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?

'' scan the present debris field of battle. Can you decide what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The initiative ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, CAT scan confirming identicalness of ship wreckage. All sections that are integral indicate that they are remnants of a very large Tendraxian fleet. legal injury was induced by high temperatures and thermic radiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

'' Thermic ? Are there any remains of EIG ships present within the wreckage ? '' The male person asked.

'' Affirmative, at nowadays, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG animation capsules. Though none are active, they are all giving off reading that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many situation were discharge when we went by there. They must have come after the EIGs intemperate if the EIGs used thermic weapons. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't know he 'll be glad to get a numeration. '' The first ship man said.

'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The second ship man said.

Another warning signal started to go off as all three turned to look at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! rest ripalon energy detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon free energy will cause a degenerative effect to the criterion subatomic particle causing failure within the system. ``

All three of the males looked at each other shaking their fountainhead. No wonder they could n't communicate.

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp organization ? '' The low ship man asked.

'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp system is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely plight the system ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' At give speed, six hours, twenty three minutes to traverse the rubble field. Then another XV hour to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of line drew a groan from all three of the Male. Damn, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an hour. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of alarms go off.

Looking over the indication all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life foretoken. They were faint, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't suffer prison term for this. '' The indorsement ship man said.

Sighing the low gear ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't think I could endure with myself. ``

The former two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.



Hartwell was at his wits end, the female was still unconscious, though all med CAT scan said she was fine. Leaving her there he started for the bridge circuit, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited call from Norman Mattoon Thomas. `` Admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the pointedness of irritation.

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Norman Mattoon Thomas to back away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't stand for to piss in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you have to report ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool down off.

'' I wanted to let you know, we have heavy natural process within that country where the carapace is. '' Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

Hartwell nodded as he thought a moment. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A moment later they were near the arena of the Duke 's major planet. `` Alright show me. ``

Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Thomas stated, `` all indicant are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this clearing. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking Reading within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to see. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the surface area closer. Damn, if he did n't know, that area, looked a lot like the lieu near an old abandoned trap. He and William used to fiddle there as children. Suddenly, a view came to him, drawing up another set of plan of the same arena. programme that were below the surface well within a cave system.

'' Does the buckler extend through the soil ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few second gear Thomas stared a here and now, then a widely smile broke over his feature film. `` Pulling that up now admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the aerofoil. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several more maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a Benny Hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right that goes through to the inside of the cuticle. ``

Norman Mattoon Thomas excited was looking over the design as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything utile through is it ? ``

'' Just a lot of the rangers, especially the one that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the condition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral Prime. maitre d' Greeson has been released from med-bay. His trauma were n't as grave as first thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Jack Dempsey will require at least another day. ``

Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``

'' wellspring sir, Colonel Dempsey would take in been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining misfire Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at least another day. '' Celeste informed him.

Hartwell tried to hold back it in, though it was starting to break through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that Dempsey was now in.

Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his mind was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the wittiness in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his gasps for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his mouth three Seth of alarms went off.

'' alarum ! alerting ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a take aim way of life to the stopping point battle. Shall I notify the emperor butterfly ? '' Johnathon asked.

Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.

'' Have you received any communication ? Have they made contact in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At present sir, we ca n't get a confident id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the systems. They moved across the bounds a short time ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that Brobdingnagian field of residual ripalon energy, we do n't risk sending any ships, 'til we can better carapace against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his agreement as he watched the three ships move across his sieve. Was this a prelude to another invasion ? Like the commander said, he 'd suffer to keep his eye on them.

Shaking his head, Hartwell was beginning to think it was going to be a bad day. A few minutes later Johnathon was taking meter reading in the med bay, when the female groaned.

Johnathon was immediately adjacent to the bio-bed as the female started to holler. Hartwell could only shake his head as he watched on the view screen.

'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.

Jonathon appeared with a stunned spirit on his boldness. `` Apparently admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her hand made touch with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to lull her only seemed to make her scream louder. ``

Hartwell sighed, then took a step toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really necessary ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.

The distaff jerked toward Hartwell then replied, `` Godhead sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to commence operations. I would bow down myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

God Almighty sir ? What in the blaze was she on about ?

Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

The female looked at Hartwell through her snag confused, `` Crying Creator sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``

'' What you 're doing from your eye. '' Hartwell told her.

The female cast her middle down, then the bust started to make out faster. `` I am sad Lord sir. I did not imply to neutralize liquid in front of you. I accept what penalisation you deem necessary. ``

'' Punishment ? What in the Inferno do you imply ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female cringe back from him.

'' I am wasting something Maker sir. However you wish to penalize me, I will accept. It is after all your rightfield as a male. '' The female told him.

Hartwell 's sass dropped out-of-doors as he could only gaze at her momentarily. `` That is the handsome load of horseshit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female person started to shake violently.

Without raising her middle the female person whispered, `` When you wipe out me overlord sir, could you please ready it fast ? I know I do not merit it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from awe, more from the uttermost anger he was feeling. What the inferno kind of people were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep open his temper under control.

Barely keeping his representative low he stated, `` I am not going to kill you nor have you killed. Do you have sex where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a politics medical position. The fact that I am here, means that the leader think I have many more than secure breeding years in me. ``

Hartwell 's eyes went wide as he stared at the female person in disbelief. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section of the table off that he had ahold of.

As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the Empire. This is a fixture medical bay of that ship. ``

The female tentatively asked her lips trembling, `` The empire that recently destroyed a large many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even more afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are character of the peasant hoard that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouth. `` Not as barbaric as your people, to attack with so many ships ! boor would n't fall in as big a military unit if they did n't have in mind to occupy. ''

'' God Almighty sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our ego. We ... '' The female started.

'' You were in our beetleweed ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.

'' I am no-good Maker sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We female person do not usually know of such affair. We are seldom allowed to hear such, let alone know of them. '' The female person whispered her head as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turning of case. Sighing he looked away from the female. Damn it, was going to be a long few side by side days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to retain his uncle Trent from exploding. The moron that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammo. His eyes widely, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

'' Did you finally manage to get those idiots to get it here ? Trent asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a good while. They said they took what you said literally. You said bring up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trento shook his header, `` love god, how in the Hades are they still alive ? You 'd suppose that they were smarter than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to explode again if he did n't calm him.

'' I guess they were hiding a lot practiced than we thought, Uncle Trento. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

'' That 's about the only thing they are. '' Trent grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the gun was moved into position. Trent smiled with an almost joyful look on his face. `` ardor ! Blow the Inferno out of that place, plus the whoreson in there ! '' River Trent yelled.

Inside the bunker the scarred face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial word gravid activity was detected.

He 'd noticed a buildup of force out there, he also had a bad feeling watching them motion but getting no closer. `` I think we need to make a retreat, NOW ! '' The leader was yelling.

All of the rest of the men were skinny behind the drawing card and Duke as they left the construction. lupus erythematosus than ten secondment after they left it, the bunker exploded.

The concussion of the beginning hit, knocked all of them off their foundation. The leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second clap hit a footling encourage back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard several of his men scream, then nothing.

Trento was watching a read out as the first of the casing hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the secondment and third caught a few of those trailing.

'' Son of a bitch ! '' Trent was yelling as he saw that of the two in front line, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the cocksucker was injured, at least it looked that way. 'Bout time that ass got back some of the bother he 'd been giving for years.

Trent was about to send men after them, when there was a commotion at the back of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a interpreter next to him shocked him.

'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't last long at all. '' The interpreter told him.

Trent and William were reaching for their hired gun when they were shocked to see an average out elevation, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''

The man held out his hired hand as he stated. `` police captain, Jacques Louis David Greeson of the imperial beard special forces. '' Shaking both men 's hands they both looked at each other shocked.

'' How in the hell did you get in here ? We have scout posted all over the topographic point. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as good as I am. So, as I said let me and my squad go. Those are from a religious order that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

Trent was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the manus of the Greeson soul. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' Imperial special forces ? Then the emperor is aware of our site ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep breathing spell as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get get hitched with, so he went back to the Imperial home world. The sleep of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

William watched the whole conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to bed that you are n't just a plant by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a foot off the floor. `` I am in no way an evil, glory seeking ass ! Do not give the mistake thinking we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thumping, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been dead at to the lowest degree thirty arcminute ago. ``

William adjusted his clothes as he nodded his arrangement. `` I apologize I ... ''

Greeson held up his hand to stop William. `` I am not here to anguish you, rather to aid. Besides I am certainly that SHE would be pretty tight if I did pain you. ``

William and Trent were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.

'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent asked.

Greeson turned toward Trent River as he very seriously looked the male directly in the eyes. `` Why Miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's mouths dropped unfastened, even as a all-inclusive grin spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most important people in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even broader as both Male seemed to be struck silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent River could get out.

William finally found his voice then sank to his knee joint. tears were starting to flow as he stated, `` She 's alive ? My god she 's alive ! ''
