Hartwell was still sitting there with his rima oris open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his lip then he slapped his human face. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the time to call up 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 same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why pain in the neck with it. Since you 're here though, you can deal it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her sidekick. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can address 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 minute later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning of the sterilisation that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be able-bodied to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the atomic number 8 deprivation might have caused. ``

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

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

'' Do something about her not wearing clothes. '' Hartwell said with a chunk in his throat. Again he shook his headspring, he and the team had been through hellhole, horrors men should n't see and feature survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle domain, pissing his bloomers. All because of a naked female ? Face it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten lenient like the commander said.

Derrick was about to admit a drink 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 agitate you commandant. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's incorrectly, did you have to toss off them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female. What in the Hell do you expect me to do with a raw ... On second view do n't answer 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 life space capsule with a mental capacity box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



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

Derrick bent down to secern the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The picayune 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 little missy turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his brass. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick voicelessness. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.

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

A bit later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm bad forefather, 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 thankful to give 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 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 male child and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his married woman. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, call back he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the worried woman. ‘ They better make it back active, I do n't expose my word and I do n't want 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 enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to shroud an embarrassed look on his font. `` At the lay out time, I am afraid that it is necessity. ``

'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the time to come that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a fix look on her face.



At the bound of the Galaxy three small craft suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial universe. 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 occupier told the other two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that close shout near the Tendrax domicile humankind. '' 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 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 impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would require to mate with you ! '' The early ship occupant said.

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

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

'' Deliverer ! You 're getting Thomas More and more gross the finisher to household we get. looking at, just let it drop and we 'll forget 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 board problems ! '' The first ship man said.

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

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

'' Son of a beef ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` information processing system, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a meter build for their penetration of the galactic boundary. ``

'' Compliance, '' the dim-witted A.I. of the small-scale damaged ship replied. `` At present speed they will penetrate the bound of the galaxy within two weeks, six day. At present scans unable to mold the issue of ships. ``

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

'' Now attempting to generalise an response. At nowadays, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, obscure factors to turn over with flow data. If this is a marriage challenge political party than the number could be as high as fifty to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatical party, then it could be as few as forty chiliad. '' The A.I. droned.

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

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

'' jack ! hoot it ! All you had to do was make courteous, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and anathemize near kill 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 first ship man said.

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

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

With a suspire the former two nodded as the first 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 hr he tried to send a sign to no service. Picking up what appeared to be a large fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive debris field. Here at the back end of it there were actual placeable segment of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life signs at all.

All three of the Male could only stare with their rima oris open. The field of operations had to be thou of kilometre hanker and spacious. Just what in the blaze had been going on while they had been away ?

'' Scan the present junk 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 segment that are inviolate indicate that they are remnants of a very large 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 life 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 office were evacuate when we went by there. They must induce come after the EIGs arduous if the EIGs used thermic weapon system. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't recognize he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The first ship man said.

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

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to seem at the version. `` Warning ! Warning ! residue ripalon energy detected. Do not set off trans-warp, repetition do not spark trans-warp. Ripalon energy will cause a degenerative gist to the Criteria corpuscle causing failure within the system. ``

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

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp organisation ? '' The get-go ship man asked.

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

'' How long before we can safely engage the system ? '' The foremost ship man asked.

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

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

Looking over the Reading all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life signs. They were swoon, though they were there.

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

Sighing the initiative ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't remember 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 scans said she was mulct. Leaving her there he started for the nosepiece, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited outcry from Lowell Thomas. `` Admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the head of irritation.

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing St. Thomas to plump for away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't think of to pee-pee in your breakfast, sir. '' Lowell Thomas said with a smile.

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

'' I wanted to let you know, we have with child bodily function within that field where the shield 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 satellite. `` Alright establish me. ``

doubting 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 impossible. This was one of the two country that you wished me to see. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the area closer. tinker's dam, if he did n't bed, that arena, looked a lot like the place near an old abandoned sand trap. He and William used to run there as children. Suddenly, a intellection came to him, drawing up another set of programme of the same area. Plans that were below the aerofoil well within a cave system.

'' Does the shell extend through the footing ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

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

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through respective more single-valued function. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a Hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right on that goes through to the inside of the shield. ``

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

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

'' Yes sir, Admiral prime quantity. Captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His combat injury were n't as dangerous as first thought process. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel William Harrison Dempsey will postulate at least another day. ``

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

'' Well sir, Colonel Dempsey would have been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss 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 break down 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 intellect was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the humor in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his pant for air he tried to explicate. Even as he was opening his sass three sets of alarms went off.

'' alarum ! Alert ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic bounds. They appear to be on a direct itinerary to the last battle. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' 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 positively charged id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon muscularity is screwing up the systems. They moved across the boundary a short sentence ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' support an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that immense field of residual ripalon free energy, we do n't put on the line sending any ships, 'til we can better shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

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

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

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

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

Jonathon appeared with a stunned flavour on his face. `` Apparently admiral prime of life, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her manus made contact with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to make her sidesplitter louder. ``

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

The female hitch toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to commence operations. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

Lord sir ? What in the Scheol was she on about ?

Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female person 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 terminal figure. ``

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

The female person cast her eyes down, then the teardrop started to arrive faster. `` I am sorry Lord sir. I did not mean to knock off liquid in front of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``

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

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

Hartwell 's sass dropped overt as he could only gaze at her momentarily. `` That is the gravid load of diddlysquat I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action mechanism as the female person started to excite violently.

Without raising her heart the female person whispered, `` When you kill me noble sir, could you please build it fast ? I know I do not merit it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from concern, more from the extreme ire he was feeling. What the blaze variety of people were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to restrain his temper under control.

Barely keeping his vox low he stated, `` I am not going to wipe out you nor have you killed. Do you acknowledge where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a government medical exam place. The fact that I am here, means that the leadership think I have many more than secure breeding yr in me. ``

Hartwell 's optic went wide as he stared at the female person in mental rejection. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a discussion 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 backtalk trembling, `` The empire that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female person was even to a greater extent afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even abject. `` You are part of the barbarian stash that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his lip. `` Not as barbaric as your citizenry, to round with so many ships ! Goth would n't come 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 self. We ... '' The female started.

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

'' I am drab Lord sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We females do not usually know of such thing. We are seldom allowed to get wind such, let alone know of them. '' The female whispered her mind as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this bit of case. Sighing he looked away from the female. beshrew it, was going to be a hanker few future days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to retain his uncle River Trent from exploding. The idiots that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammunition. His eye wide, 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 aught else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trent shook his chief, `` lamb god, how in the inferno are they still alive ? You 'd think that they were sassy than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to burst forth again if he did n't calm him.

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

'' That 's about the only matter they are. '' Trent River grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the artillery unit was moved into position. Trent smiled with an almost gleeful look on his facial expression. `` fervor ! Blow the Hell out of that lieu, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent yelled.

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

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

All of the rest of the men were fold behind the leader and Duke as they left the building. less than ten sec after they left it, the bunker exploded.

The concussion of the foremost hit, knocked all of them off their base. The drawing card was up with the Duke over his shoulder joint as a back fire hit a little further back. Cursing, the leader took off as he heard several of his men howler, then nothing.

Trent was watching a read out as the number one of the scale 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 meter that ass got back some of the pain in the ass he 'd been giving for years.

Trento was about to ship men after them, when there was a hurly burly at the spine of the encampment. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a voice succeeding to him shocked him.

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

Trent River and William were reaching for their guns when they were shocked to see an fair height, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''

The man held out his script as he stated. `` sea captain, St. David Greeson of the imperial 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 lookout posted all over the place. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as estimable 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 hand of the Greeson soul. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' Imperial particular forces ? Then the emperor butterfly is aware of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep breathing time as he stated, `` Well not here on the major planet. It seems that he had to get married, 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 unit conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to know 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 evil, glory seeking ass ! Do not make the misunderstanding thought process we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thud, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been beat at to the lowest degree thirty arcminute ago. ``

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

Greeson held up his hand to intercept William. `` I am not here to bruise you, rather to help. Besides I am certain that SHE would be pretty pissed if I did hurt 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 as he very seriously looked the male person directly in the middle. `` Why girl Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's sassing dropped open, even as a all-inclusive smile ranch across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most of import hoi polloi in the conglomerate. ``

Greeson was smiling even broader as both male person seemed to be stricken silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.

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