Hartwell was still sitting there with his backtalk open. They had a captive for sure, though a naked female person ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his rim then he slapped his face. 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 person, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the Saame equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why trouble with it. Since you 're here though, you can deal it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her buddy. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can handle 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, theme ! ``

Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the source of the sterilization that the Tendrax mass are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any impairment that the oxygen deprivation might take in caused. ``

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

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

'' Do something about her not wearing clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his pharynx. Again he shook his head, he and the team had been through nether region, horrors men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new enlistee on the struggle field, pissing his drawers. All because of a naked female person ? nerve it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.

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

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

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's amiss, did you have to bolt down them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female. What in the hellhole do you bear me to do with a naked ... On bit thought do n't answer that. '' Hartwell said with a smell of chagrin 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 ejection seat 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 lot around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` chip in it back to me ! '' The niggling girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only excite his header.

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

The piddling girlfriend turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his impertinence. Mary appeared a minute later waving a fingerbreadth at the female child, she leaned into Derrick voicelessness. `` I think I 'm in hassle, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Madonna said.

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

A moment later Mika walked up to take 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 smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to stimulate all of you here. ``

Mika 's fount 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 stimulate another subject matter from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``

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

'' I know Mika, retrieve he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the disturbed womanhood. ‘ They well make it back alive, I do n't break my Good Book and I do n't want to part now.'

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

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 necessary. I myself, as Empress am not bathroom to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an embarrassed facial expression on his face. `` At the salute 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-scale wiliness 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 stay on course.

'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this back 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 close call near the Tendrax menage domain. '' One of the early ship's occupants replied.

'' Still they were n't as scary as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't round 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 veridical opinion. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want 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 surely, '' the first base ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' Good Shepherd ! You 're getting more and more gross the finisher to home we get. aspect, just let it drop and we 'll blank out 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 control plank problems ! '' The first ship man said.

The back and damaged embark men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarum that started to go off.

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

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need length of the approaching fleet. Give me a prison term frame for their penetration of the galactic bounds. ``

'' Compliance, '' the simple A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At salute speeding they will imbue the boundary of the galax within two weeks, six days. At present scan unable to settle the turn of ships. ``

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

'' Now attempting to generalise an answer. At present, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown factors to consider with current datum. If this is a spousal relationship challenge company than the bit could be as high as 50 to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatical party, then it could be as few as 40 K. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three unknown factors, what of the third ? '' The showtime shipman asked.

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

'' poop ! Damn it ! All you had to do was make up overnice, maybe hit it a fiddling. No, you had to go and bedamn near killing it ! '' The first ship man said.

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

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

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

With a suspire the other two nodded as the first opened a comm. `` Like it really subject, he 'd know they were coming in about a hebdomad anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an 60 minutes he tried to transport a signal to no help. Picking up what appeared to be a large fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the monumental debris subject field. Here at the gage end of it there were actual placeable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life house at all.

All three of the males could only gaze with their mouths afford. The field had to be thousands of kilometre long and full. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?

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

'' Scanning now, scans confirming identity of ship wreckage. All sections that are intact indicate that they are remnants of a very bombastic 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 present within the wreckage ? '' The male asked.

'' Affirmative, at present, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG living 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 berths were empty when we went by there. They must give come after the EIGs hard if the EIGs used thermic weapons. Yeah, I think we ALL have to send for him. Mad or not if he does n't love he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The first ship man said.

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

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to look at the recital. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon energy detected. Do not actuate trans-warp, repetition do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon energy will cause a degenerative effect to the Criteria particles causing failure within the system. ``

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

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

'' At deliver speed, six minute, twenty three mo to traverse the debris field. Then another fifteen transactions to be at a aloofness to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of row drew a groan from all three of the males. shucks, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an time of day. Sighing all three started to adjudicate in when they heard another set of alarm go off.

looking over the readings all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life story sign of the zodiac. They were faint, though they were there.

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

Sighing the beginning ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't believe I could live with myself. ``

The other 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 ticket. Leaving her there he started for the bridge, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited cry from Thomas. `` full admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the pointedness of irritation.

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

'' Sorry sir, did n't imply to pass water in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you give birth to describe ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool off.

'' I wanted to let you know, we have overweight activeness within that field where the shield is. '' Dylan 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 field of the Duke 's planet. `` Alright demonstrate me. ``

Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Thomas stated, `` all indications are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this glade. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking readings within, nearly insufferable. This was one of the two arena that you wished me to watch. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the arena finisher. shit, if he did n't screw, that arena, looked a lot like the place near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to play there as children. Suddenly, a idea came to him, drawing up another set of design of the like area. Plans that were below the Earth's surface well within a cave system.

'' Does the cuticle extend through the primer coat ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few seconds Thomas stared a mo, then a across-the-board grinning broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a minute then his grinning returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the surface. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several more maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right field 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 useful through is it ? ``

'' Just a lot of the commando, especially the unity that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the condition of maitre d'hotel Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral Prime. skipper Greeson has been released from med-bay. His harm were n't as austere as first thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel William Harrison Dempsey will require at to the lowest degree another day. ``

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

'' Well sir, Colonel Dempsey would have been out Oklahoman, though, he re-injured himself restraining fille 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 fall apart through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that Manassa Mauler was now in.

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

Between his gasp for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his mouth three sets of alarum went off.

'' qui vive ! Alert ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a direct way of life to the stopping point engagement. Shall I notify the emperor moth ? '' 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 contact in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At acquaint sir, we ca n't get a prescribed id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon vigour is screwing up the systems. They moved across the bounds a short-change fourth dimension ago. mesmerism sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no recounting who or what they are. With that vast playing area of residuary ripalon energy, we do n't risk sending any ships, 'til we can improve shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his arrangement as he watched the three ships move across his screen. Was this a preliminary to another invasion ? Like the commanding officer said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.

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

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

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

Jonathon appeared with a kayoed tone on his grimace. `` Apparently Admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her hand made contact with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to quieten her only seemed to make up 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 female person twitch toward Hartwell then replied, `` master sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to start up operations. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

Lord 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 cast her eyes down, then the split started to come faster. `` I am good-for-nothing Lord sir. I did not signify to waste liquid in forepart of you. I accept what punishment you deem essential. ``

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

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

Hartwell 's backtalk dropped exposed as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the bounteous encumbrance of shit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action mechanism as the female started to shake violently.

Without raising her centre the female person whispered, `` When you kill me Lord sir, could you please urinate it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from awe, more from the utmost ira he was feeling. What the hell kind of people were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to hold open his humour under control.

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

The distaff slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a governance medical shoes. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many Thomas More good procreation age in me. ``

Hartwell 's centre 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 conglomerate. This is a regular medical bay of that ship. ``

The female person tentatively asked her lip trembling, `` The conglomerate that recently destroyed a not bad many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even to a greater extent afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even low-spirited. `` You are part of the barbarian stash that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouth. `` Not as uncivilised as your citizenry, to attack with so many ships ! boor would n't arrive in as big a force if they did n't mean to encroach upon. ''

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

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

'' I am regretful nobleman sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We female do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to hear such, let alone do it of them. '' The female person whispered her head as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turn of event. Sighing he looked away from the female. damn it, was going to be a long few next days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to celebrate his uncle Trent from exploding. The idiots that had brought the heavy weapon up had forgotten the ammunition. His centre wide-cut, 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 thoroughly while. They said they took what you said literally. You said get up the equipment cipher else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trent River shook his top dog, `` Dear god, how in the netherworld are they still alive ? You 'd think that they were smarter than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to explode again if he did n't sedate him.

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

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

Both men stepped back as the artillery was moved into status. Trent smiled with an almost elated look on his face. `` Fire ! Blow the hell out of that shoes, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent yelled.

Inside the bunker the scar face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few minute after they had received initial Son intemperate activity was detected.

He 'd noticed a buildup of personnel department out there, he also had a bad feeling watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to prepare a retreat, NOW ! '' The drawing card was yelling.

All of the rest of the men were closing behind the leader and Duke as they left the construction. Less than ten seconds after they left it, the sand trap exploded.

The concussion of the first hit, knocked all of them off their human foot. The drawing card was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second bang hit a little further back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard several of his men wow, then nothing.

Trent was watching a read out as the outset of the casing hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the second 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 time that ass got back some of the botheration he 'd been giving for years.

River Trent was about to send men after them, when there was a commotion at the back of the pack. `` 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 last long at all. '' The voice told him.

Trent and William were reaching for their gas pedal when they were shocked to see an median top, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the blaze are you ? ''

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` Captain, Saint David Greeson of the Imperial special military unit. '' Shaking both men 's hand they both looked at each other shocked.

'' How in the inferno did you get in here ? We have vigil posted all over the place. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as respectable as I am. So, as I said let me and my police 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 hired man of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' imperial peculiar forces ? Then the emperor is mindful of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Saturnia pavonia is here ? ``

Greeson took a cryptic breathing spell as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get splice, so he went back to the imperial beard base existence. The rest 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 know that you are n't just a plant life by this supposed religious sect ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a foundation off the floor. `` I am in no way an wickedness, aureole seeking ass ! Do not make 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 to the lowest degree XXX second ago. ``

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

Greeson held up his script to stop William. `` I am not here to hurt you, rather to serve. Besides I am indisputable that SHE would be pretty besotted if I did hurt you. ``

William and River 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 as he very seriously looked the male person directly in the centre. `` Why missy Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's mouths dropped heart-to-heart, even as a full grin banquet across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most significant people in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even blanket as both male person seemed to be struck still. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.

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