Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth capable. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female person ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry grinning came to his lips then he slapped his brass. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the metre to believe 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 verge. 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 Lapplander equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why bother with it. Since you 're here though, you can plow it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to simper at her brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can address it. '' Then she walked out her laugh echoing off the walls.

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

Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely atomic number 8 deprived. She was also at the root of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be able to bring around that within a few years. I am still scanning her for any damage that the O deprivation might get caused. ``

'' trade good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

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

'' Do something about her not break clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his head, he and the squad had been through hell, revulsion men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle field, pissing his pants. All because of a bare female ? brass it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commanding officer said.

Derrick was about to pick out a drunkenness when his wrist comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am sorry 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 have a bun in the oven me to do with a nude ... On second thought do n't suffice that. '' Hartwell said with a look of mortification on his face.

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

'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a life space capsule with a psyche box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



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

Derrick bent down to break the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The niggling girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only judder his chief.

'' 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 little missy turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a second later waving a digit at the young woman, she leaned into Derrick susurration. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through ma'am. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.

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

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

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

Mika 's brass dropped a instant as she asked quietly, `` Still no Christian Bible on when Gunter gets back ? ``

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

'' I really hope so sire. The son and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, think he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the upset woman. ‘ They respectable make it back alive, I do n't break my news and I do n't require to start 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 foeman we have unfortunately, it is necessity. I myself, as Empress am not earth-closet to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an block looking at on his face. `` At the present time, 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 Galaxy three small craftsmanship suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard existence. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupier was doing all he could to remain on course.

'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this dorsum to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the former two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that close call near the Tendrax home earthly concern. '' One of the other ship's resident replied.

'' Still they were n't as scarey as the Cregons or those anathemise Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my aspect off because I did n't attack 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 real depression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want to match 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 surely, '' the first ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' Good Shepherd ! You 're getting to a greater extent and more gross the closer to home we get. flavor, just let it drop and we 'll leave that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.

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

The second and damaged ship men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut shortstop by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.

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

'' Son of a kick ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a fourth dimension frame for their penetration of the galactic bound. ``

'' deference, '' the round-eyed A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At present speed they will penetrate the boundary of the galaxy within two workweek, six days. At introduce scan unable to determine the number of ships. ``

'' Can you, with info provided, generalise the possible size of it of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an answer. At present, scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, terra incognita ingredient to reckon with current data. If this is a marriage challenge party than the number could be as in high spirits as fifty to seventy yard. If this is a diplomatical party, then it could be as few as forty thou. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three alien factors, what of the third gear ? '' The first shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the third factor. If this is a war party then the number could be as high as, one hundred G. '' The A.I. answered.

'' Shit ! Damn it ! All you had to do was get squeamish, maybe hit it a fiddling. No, you had to go and anathemise near kill it ! '' The first of all ship man said.

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

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

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

With a sigh the other two nodded as the first-class honours degree opened a comm. `` Like it really matter, he 'd lie with they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an hour he tried to place a signal to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a magnanimous fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the monolithic junk bailiwick. Here at the back end of it there were factual recognizable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life star sign at all.

All three of the Male could only stare with their lip spread. The field had to be thousands of klick long and wide-cut. Just what in the Hades had been going on while they had been away ?

'' Scan the present debris field of force. Can you make up one's mind what character of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scan confirming personal identity of send wreckage. All discussion section that are intact indicate that they are leftover of a very with child Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by high temperatures and thermic radiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

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

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

'' I wondered why so many slip were empty when we went by there. They must have come after the EIGs voiceless if the EIGs used thermic weapon. 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 count. '' The commencement ship man said.

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

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to look at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon vitality detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repetition do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon Energy Department will make a degenerative upshot to the Criteria corpuscle causing failure within the system. ``

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

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp system of rules ? '' The first ship man asked.

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

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

'' At present speed, six hours, twenty three minute of arc to get over the debris field. Then another XV hour to be at a space to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of course drew a groan from all three of the males. Damn, here they thought they 'd be home in lupus erythematosus than an hr. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of consternation go off.

Looking over the readings all three were stunned to see that they were picking up lifespan signs. They were syncope, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't have metre for this. '' The second ship man said.

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

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



Hartwell was at his wittiness end, the female was still unconscious mind, though all med scans said she was fine. Leaving her there he started for the bridge, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, anathemise A.I.

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

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

'' Sorry sir, did n't entail to piddle in your breakfast, sir. '' doubting Thomas said with a smile.

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

'' I wanted to let you eff, we have heavy action within that area where the buckler 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 bit later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's planet. `` Alright show me. ``

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

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the sphere closer. shucks, if he did n't know, that area, looked a lot like the stead near an old abandoned trap. He and William used to play there as children. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of plans of the like region. programme that were below the control surface well within a cave system.

'' Does the shield extend through the ground ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few moment Norman Mattoon Thomas stared a moment, then a wide smile broke over his characteristic. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Dylan Marlais Thomas was at it for a hour then his grin returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the control surface. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through various More function. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a Alfred Hawthorne. `` That 's it, if I remember right hand that goes through to the inside of the cuticle. ``

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

'' Just a lot of the Texas Ranger, especially the unity that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switching. `` Celeste, I need a report on the consideration of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral peak. sea captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as severe as firstly thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will command at least another day. ``

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

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

Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to ruin through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the plight that Dempsey was now in.

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

Between his gasps for air he tried to excuse. Even as he was opening his sass three sets of warning signal went off.

'' Alert ! warning signal ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic bound. They appear to be on a direct course to the cobbler's last battle. Shall I notify the Saturnia pavonia ? '' Johnathon asked.

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

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

'' At demonstrate sir, we ca n't get a positive 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Jonathon appeared with a out spirit on his font. `` Apparently full admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her bridge player made inter-group communication with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to make her belly laugh 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, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to start out surgical process. I would bow down myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

master sir ? What in the hell 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 tears confused, `` Crying Lord sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``

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

The female person cast her eyes down, then the snag started to come faster. `` I am drear Lord sir. I did not intend to waste liquid state in front of you. I accept what penalisation you deem necessary. ``

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

'' I am wasting something nobleman sir. However you wish to punish me, I will accept. It is after all your right wing as a male. '' The female told him.

Hartwell 's mouth dropped open as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the grownup lading of shit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female started to shake violently.

Without raising her oculus the female whispered, `` When you kill me Almighty sir, could you delight make it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from fear, more from the extreme angriness he was feeling. What the hell kind of hoi polloi were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to stay fresh his temper under control.

Barely keeping his voice low he stated, `` I am not going to obliterate you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``

The distaff slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Godhead sir, I am in a government medical home. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more upright breeding years in me. ``

Hartwell 's oculus went wide as he stared at the female in disbelief. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a segment of the board 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 regular medical checkup bay of that ship. ``

The distaff tentatively asked her lips trembling, `` The empire that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even down in the mouth. `` You are component part of the boor stash that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his rima oris. `` Not as wild as your people, to attack with so many ships ! Barbarians would n't come in as big a force out if they did n't mean to invade. ''

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

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

'' I am no-account Lord sir, that is what I heard the Male speak of. We females do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to try such, let alone know of them. '' The female whispered her head as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turn of outcome. Sighing he looked away from the female. maledict it, was going to be a longsighted few succeeding days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to keep on his uncle Trent River from exploding. The imbecile that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammunition. His eyes wide, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

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

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a good spell. They said they took what you said literally. You said bring up the equipment naught else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trent shook his head word, `` lamb god, how in the hell 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 near than we thought, Uncle Trent River. You 've got to accommodate they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

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

Both men stepped back as the heavy weapon was moved into stance. Trent smiled with an almost jubilant facial expression on his face. `` Fire ! Blow the hell out of that place, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent yelled.

Inside the bunker the scarred face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hour after they had received initial Holy Scripture grave activity was detected.

He 'd acknowledge a buildup of personnel out there, he also had a bad tactile sensation watching them relocation but getting no closer. `` I think we need to induce a hideaway, NOW ! '' The leader was yelling.

All of the rest of the men were close behind the leader and Duke as they left the construction. lupus erythematosus than ten seconds after they left it, the bunker exploded.

The concussion of the first hit, knocked all of them off their metrical foot. The leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second eruption hit a piddling further back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard respective of his men wow, then nothing.

Trent was watching a read out as the get-go of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the s and third caught a few of those trailing.

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

Trent was about to air men after them, when there was a hoo-hah at the back of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a voice next to him shocked him.

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

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

The man held out his paw as he stated. `` sea captain, David Greeson of the imperial special forces. '' Shaking both men 's work force they both looked at each other shocked.

'' How in the Inferno did you get in here ? We have sentinel posted all over the place. '' 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 sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

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

'' imperial beard exceptional personnel ? Then the emperor is aware of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep breath as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get married, so he went back to the Imperial home human beings. The rest of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

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

William was suddenly a foot off the base. `` I am in no way an iniquity, aureole seeking ass ! Do not piss the mistake thinking we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thud, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been dead at least xxx minutes ago. ``

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

Greeson held up his hand to stop William. `` I am not here to anguish you, rather to assist. Besides I am certain that SHE would be pretty slopped if I did smart 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 ? '' Trento asked.

Greeson turned toward Trent as he very seriously looked the Male directly in the oculus. `` Why Miss Hartwell. '' Both River Trent and William 's mouths dropped give, even as a widely grin bedcover across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most authoritative people in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even all-inclusive as both male seemed to be walk out silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.

William finally found his voice then sank to his knees. rent were starting to flow as he stated, `` She 's awake ? My god she 's active ! ''
