Derrick was moving through the access way toward the primary segment of the shipyard. Ahead to his right wing Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left hand. sergeant first category Book of Daniel Greg Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a received patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no stochasticity. Shaking his school principal he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the niche as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As tranquillity as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both precaution away with little to no noise.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the loggerheaded security door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the doorway clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any Thomas More guards. Shaking his heading Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship chiliad had been infiltrated by some really bad characters. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transportation as it moved away from the ship thousand.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the chief hallway. So far the scans had indicated thirty men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the theme had said that thirty organic structure had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guards. ‘ Damn'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at to the lowest degree eight out here, and another eight at the side by side junction. Might get one set of them not for certain about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to correspond, we could get five or six, but afraid the live on two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry air force officer. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a import as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the ecstasy were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to make a move when an alarm went off.

'' What 's with all the shucks noise ? '' A with child man with several scars on his older expression snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer near guard utterly sir, '' came the vox of a Thomas Young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the shit ! leave three here with me, ought to be sufficiency to keep in line these scared pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Gregory John Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the walls picking their positions. Taking a inscrutable breathing space Derrick knew that this succeeding piece was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the rampart.

All four of the pirates whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The sometime scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're abruptly you piece of shit ! ''

Rushing toward the wall, the leader only heard the first then the minute of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the room with a golf hole in it. A moment later the one-third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female person in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked tongue at her pharynx. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's stagnant whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from unlike directions were heard. Then the tongue was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a hole in the side of his forefront.

Derrick ran out to check out on Shiloh and Grant. `` lieutenant Shiloh, guarantee assignment can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their rima oris hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have companionship. I want you and deed over to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.

concession snapped to attention as did Shiloh. `` volition do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open rampart.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the paries himself moving to a effective billet. Touching his ear he said. `` ask them all no survivors ! ''

'' No job, '' came Jimison 's grim reply.

'' Happy to strip up the filth. '' Norman said with a smile.

The next ten instant could only be described as a stock tub as the men came in en masse shot. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. ineffective to see their target area the terminal few panicked trying to bunk. They were also taken down by several well placed blastoff.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long clip came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the television channel.

'' commanding officer ? '' Came the vocalism of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.

'' Just wanted to let you have it off that we are secure. The wife and four tyke were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.

'' Wife and four baby ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd care to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. imprecate it ! Why in the perdition had n't he thought that they might be married AND have youngster. Shaking his promontory he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.

'' sure Commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to restart the plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing responded.

'' Oh, good then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn sass. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to receive the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm happy I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a soupcon of laughter in his voice. Looking up Derrick 's font was suddenly dismal as he nodded. maledict it ! They had so minuscule sentence !

turning toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all hell breach loose. I really do n't need to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to occupy all Tempro has to get exonerate enough. Unfortunately the ripalon get-up-and-go prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``

'' Are we in peril commander ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't guess so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we give birth to sir ? Ca n't we just keep them all ? '' Norman said with a grim face.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past times. No I have to save things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big peril taking Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with boastfully eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as potential. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes father, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's intellection.

[ `` right send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a mesa succeeding to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic musical composition appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear signal for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a friend is needed. I estimate that this is barely decent distance to give minimum damage. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the tape transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asian looking womanhood walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the woman. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the future few minute are n't too practically of a stress to you or your nestling. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the sixteen and 14 year old boy of the woman. A ten yr old boy was hiding further back walking out when his female parent called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these issue of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the males on the back as he moved toward where battle of Pittsburgh Landing and Ulysses Simpson Grant were in the command of the ship.

Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.

Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an hour. Can we devote you and your men a ride ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a storm feeling.

'' I know when more than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two pellet from two different directions. Hell if I did n't know better I 'd say it was Jessye Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's unsufferable as they both are dead. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men live and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a theatrical role of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Hiram Ulysses Grant and Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to meet the phratry. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some fine boys deputy. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you call up of footling Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't meet a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four children when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's middle got wide then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You better not be in the plasma reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be compensate back. ''

'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our paths hybrid again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to convey him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes father. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are clear. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. Start away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only take a mo ; do you really get to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Pittsburgh Landing standing to his full six foot two in summit. `` I 'll foregather her one day lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the side by side few hours ? You hold that little young lady tight, very tight understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a look of surprise and worry on his font as he thanked the commanding officer. Hurrying retiring Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fasting as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

battle of Shiloh started to hound in the reactor elbow room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the air force officer said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other face of the reactor room watching the railroad engineer.

His hands on his pelvis he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her headland she gulped a bit at the looking at on her father 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out unseasoned noblewoman ! '' Shiloh told her with a grim face on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to get battle of Pittsburgh Landing to gag. He knew all her deception though he was n't resistant to all of them.

'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine yr old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a good thing to make over your head do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile small smile on his sassing.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his head as he touched the black curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hand on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! semen on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to depart. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the Commander 's last words came back to him. [ deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hr. You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't stimulate the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to curse much a coincidence that the Commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control condition elbow room Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't leave her in there. '' Came her answer.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange feeling. I have n't had one like this in a yearn time cobbler's last time was with the commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can get word almost fear in your voice ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her tight hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled facial expression. Almost the Saami affair that the air force officer had said !

Making his way to the control room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the subroutine to undock then leave.

'' Levels take care safe, all hachure closed, all SEAL good. No rupture, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' assignment told him.

Shiloh was about to activate the railway locomotive when he noticed they were still a short close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put More than a mere thousand Kilometers between us and the station. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown DOE coming from the post. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' concession told him.

Something was nagging at Shiloh 's mental capacity more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the post. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger dictation. This is channel R-00101. Do you scan me Ranger statement ? ''

A present moment later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repeat you -- - -- - high -- -- - domain. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signal.

'' Command we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send service to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' President Grant said. `` crap ca n't appear to get through. supposition we need to get further away. ''

battle of Pittsburgh Landing nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine ascendence Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke relieve !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control chair. Damn it he hated to wait like this ! `` sentence ? ''

'' information says that the ship exploded five instant from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the station. `` 4000 kilometer, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficultness retrieving the end two ! sire I am afraid I am going to miss them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the control input key plug-in as he was typing degenerate than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would burn my IMT out completely. It would require at least a week to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't suffer them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's centre had binge in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT system together. pal I am increasing and matching you IMT frequence. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one XX, one thirty five. Now at one fifty. ''

'' I have them sire the growth is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to fall from her eyes. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no Sir Thomas More. I can feel the system starting to fail. ''

Derrick heard a distant detonation as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you fine ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT arrangement has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will experience to regen for a fourth dimension. I 'm deplorable I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a play on the storey near him. Shining bright a mo then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine class old girl.

The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to wake her begetter up. `` Daddy, please stir up up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little young woman asked, `` Can you please avail my daddy ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the niggling girl staring at the bit he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his face.

'' Of course mister, '' the little girl said as a strange expression came over her nerve. `` It 's a property for the tending of the infirm, sick, or injured ; infirmary or adeptness serving as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be formula though as he well knew feel were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please travel along Tempro to where he is delight that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is daddy going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the controls. I heard him yell as he held me cockeyed then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly impress. A fiddling girl 's giggle drew his aid to the former side of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally arouse ! I was afraid that you were n't going to waken up ! '' Here the footling girl threw her arms around the man as tear of joy started to pass from her eyes. `` I was so scare off I was going to lose you ! ''

'' I feel amercement, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' fountainhead, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a minute then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite group Imperial Guardian ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed hundred ago. '' A startled Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's interpreter from the threshold. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find fourteen others. ''

'' air force officer ! dearest God it 's thoroughly to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to express mirth as Gunter again tried to rise then struggle to get unleash. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few prison term myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very concern Gunter asked.

'' I 'm fine daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent health. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of sparkle appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a suspiration Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hand through his visage with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you delight get her to stop doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial Intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please stop passing your hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a unknown look and light in her center. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light field as an noise pattern of seemingly random variations in the opacity, concentration, or open visibility of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you experience motion ? ''

Still with a unknown aspect on her boldness she asked, `` Are you generated via crystalline lens and optical maser ? ''

'' No missy Shelly I am a ejection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no matter what the light is in the room. I can be made with lens and laser though they are crude and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be potential to erect a system to provide you a way to subsist outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the stream technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the little girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eye got large. `` We have to get her to shut that area of her mental capacity off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the first-class honours degree time in a longsighted sentence. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the upset father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's pappa. issue forth back to me featherbed girl, it 's ok just come back to pop. '' Gunter said.

Softly at low then they all saw the tears start from her optic they heard. `` daddy ? pappa ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the trivial girl was running to her don as she threw her arms around him. The only strait they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's chest.

Then they all heard a suspiration as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a full-of-the-moon analysis of her. find oneself out if there is a way to avail her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as grant walked in. `` You better let his married woman out soon or we 're going to induce a BIG problem with that little fair sex. She damn near took my principal off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last fourth dimension you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't leave yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Ulysses Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ come in here to tell me to relax I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh crap ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is tangible pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying material. ''

Derrick 's eyes got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her heterosexual here. Explain you are taking her and the male child to see her husband. fold off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the doorway then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''

A moment later a rather furious Asian char walked in with three boys. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly weeping started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring wide eyed at the medical room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find a way to help Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the only girl I have or will ever bear. I damned near give-up the ghost having her I can never own children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of snag. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
