Derrick was n't happy, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this pomp and shit was starting to wear really flimsy on his forbearance. He 'd just released part of the buckler around the castle but was n't ready to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many terror out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other hand was thrilled to no close to take in human organic structure within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 eld. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few hours later, `` What did your dictation say about all the proof that we provided them ? ''

'' That 's the thing, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed most of it, they told me to exert wireless dimout. I guess they are also afraid that command has been inundated with undercover agent. I had always thought that bidding was the one place that would n't have spies, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was wrong. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of metre to penetrate the ranks. I had The Virgin relay a subject matter to the top officers about the tests that we have designed. I 'll let them know the results as soon as we test it out on that one work party member. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this tryout was going to be as terminal as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that well-chosen about having a spy on circuit card, though the thought of losing a work party member did n't attract to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

thought, Derrick was at a loss a instant, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to imprint. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an theme, first we 'll fetch her here then ... ''

1st specialist national flag Callie stared at the huge way that she was in. What a complete waste of space and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her school principal she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this naming ; she was a tech medical specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the Rear Admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a improbable man with flaxen blonde hair and dark browned eye greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to make indisputable that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a influence gait now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female Derrick smiled and extended his script toward her. `` I want to personally thank you for your ..., '' Derrick started.

Callie pulled the weapon from her scoop and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the pot, the nobles will never let you rule ! '' Then to her horror the light beam of the artillery passed through the emperor butterfly striking the flat coat where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her cervix as she slumped to the ground the surprise still on her nerve.

Derrick appeared a moment later, `` convey her to the interrogatory room I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to register all of this. '' There was a thrive of activity while the young woman was transported to the aforementioned elbow room. Derrick watched as Blessed Virgin attached various restraints and began scanning the woman looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found cipher, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to ascertain all manner of veil artillery, poisons, and potent micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that several more CAT scan that he 'd added to Mary 's repertoire of tests still had n't been used. Again as Blessed Virgin started over Derrick 's centre grew wider as the veil arsenal began to steadily turn.

A few proceedings later Derrick nodded when the shoemaker's last of the hidden weapons were taken off. Shaking his head Derrick knew he had his employment cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to appear across the room import later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injection. With a moan the untried char 's eyes fluttered candid.

'' tooshie Admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled head.

'' wellspring you tried to assassinate the emperor moth, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to rule out the emperor. '' Hartwell told her a slight growling to his voice. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd unripe beam of light on the woman 's head.

At first nothing happened then the woman 's font twisted into a sadistic grin. A different phonation soon erupted from her backtalk. `` So your pathetic, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. Hello you mechanical bitch ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that zippo will phase you, at least not 'til she is stagnant. ''

'' As you suspected sire, the programs would bear had me administer a lethal sum of radiation. All levels are unvarying, you may proceed my lord. '' Mary told Derrick a import later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your little victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the fourth dimension to ... '' Looking at Derrick the cleaning lady 's boldness twisted into rage. `` You will find out nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your horizontal surface of ... ''

'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will suffice me now or tolerate pain sensation unlike any you have ever known. We can press out you and simply run out what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the spokesperson coming from the young cleaning woman.

'' You would n't dare, even if you had the capability, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A large arm came out of the bulwark with a set of ancient earpiece looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the char 's head.

The voice began to express joy, `` You have n't the gumption to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary, as the stream began to feed through the equipment an eerie scream began to publish from the woman 's sass. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''

grin Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're abruptly any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''

The fair sex 's face twisted into another mask of rage as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving Republic scum ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your mortal core. Well in a way all the annoyance that you feel in expiry will. well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the woman 's hand produced another weapon and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so baggy, alright Madonna no more. ''

Mary nodded with a small smile on her lips as current again flowed through the equipment. This metre the voice screamed even gimcrack for a few proceedings then was gone, Callie 's body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to start a reign as Emperor he thought.

'' Alright Mary, '' Derrick said as the hologram of him disappeared and he reappeared across the room near the door. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not suffer much time. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' The Virgin told Derrick with a small smiling on her face.

Pulling a small blue phonograph recording from a defender in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby one-armed bandit. `` Mary program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, whit, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes father I am ... forefather ? Is this the goal of it ? '' Virgin Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only destroy about another 10 % of the political program, I estimate that we have eradicated 87 % of it now. '' Derrick told her.

'' No forefather I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to wipeout has been delayed another 2 years. The remainder of the program will pass my core in another 10 years. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in lonesome calendar month, I now believe that you will completely sort out me soon. '' Large binge were falling from The Virgin 's centre, `` Thank you sire, you have given this social unit a luck to be again. '' Here Mary bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his fountainhead in frustration.

'' Virgin Mary is there any way that we can prepare her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a hunky-dory police officer and I 'd hate for the Ranger to lose her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few second later as he looked down on the Lester Willis Young woman.

'' I believe that the program you were working on earlier just might function, though I could go in and fortify her psyche. I am afraid that it would get hold of a few days though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the datum they had so far.

'' Here Virgin Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the cabinet and started typing at blinding speed again. Those in the room backed up a considerable aloofness as they all watched Derrick with open mouths. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for Mary to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes Sire, '' came Mary 's reply as she started to integrate all of the new course of study Derrick had just written. `` Going over all scans now, I am picking up anomalous vigour interpretation right before the artillery was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can boost her nous to the tip that she can resist them without trying. Though I must caution forefather, they will get it on that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a consequence, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their factor were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console table Derrick started to type for various mo then stepped back. `` I think that might assist to conceal it, not the salutary but I think it will bring. At least 'til it 's too former for the psyche generator and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new data point that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an real challenge for her. grin, she was starting to trust that this man would be the outstanding emperor moth of all, though he still had to get the rest of the imperium to come in channel.

1st specialist national flag Callie awoke an minute later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the soft cot ... no postponement she was in a bed ? ! What in the hell was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her head touch as if the world was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking charwoman with grey-headed hair's-breadth watching her.

'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a bit later.

'' I am Mary ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the womanhood sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the throne way then I saw the emperor. I felt such madness then an almost vertigo at the intellection of killing him then null 'til I awoke here. What in the hell is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost panic-stricken womanhood said. She 'd recollect the execution and was afraid that she was next in production line for the same.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the sects. One sect that wishes to bump off the Emperor before he can enact Laws to rid the galaxy of them. '' Mary told the now shaking woman.

'' What is to go of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what punishment will I face ? '' The shaking cleaning lady asked having backed into a corner truly afraid that she 'd never again see the lighter of day.

'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the emperor explain. '' The Virgin told the woman.

A moment later a hologram of the Saame tall, sandy blond hair and dark brown eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` Hello Callie, I am emperor moth Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a mission that I think you would be extremely interest in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am goose egg a cipher. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Blessed Virgin. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A holograph ? '' A across-the-board smiling Derrick finished for her causing her lip to swing open. `` True due to ... uh consideration and various hundred protocol, I can not be there at this import but swear me this is interactional. You see you are a holograph to me also. '' Callie was only nod, her wonderment at the hologram grabbing almost all her attention.

'' Anyway we have a mission that I feel will send a message to the faction. I will not send you without your consent but they will get you and try to extract what they put in your head. Oh do n't interest it is gone we scan you once an minute to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is nothing to call for out they will belt down you. So Loretta Young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her header Derrick said, `` Ok respite and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in need of a repast ? '' Blessed Virgin asked, `` We have a very alright chef who can take whatever you request to get your long suit back. ''

Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the holograph DID say that she could suffer whatever she wanted.

Derrick sat a import thinking of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost time for the next ship 's outgrowth. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a wide time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist, `` time to emergence ? ''

'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few 60 minutes Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.

'' Alright IMT, '' within sec Derrick was on the bridge circuit. All the ship hologram appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to fend guard duty over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the unspoilt I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.

'' Conner I need you to come with Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signal I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.

'' Yes your lordship it is an award. '' Conner replied bowing low.

'' Tempro I need you to last out here and provide financial backing for Zan only if it is necessity. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes forefather, I will strive to avail protect them both if necessity. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.

'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinates to Conner. ''

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar wind up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the galax. Shaking her oral sex she knew she was in for a truly epic reign by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the neighborhood of a galactic rim system. `` Shelby can you notice any life out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scans now, the third and last world of this system has an area I am having trouble penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moments later. `` Switching energy now, I am getting interpretation though something is starting to inflect the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A minute later a clap hit the cuticle effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, damage account ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No price, no take aim hit sire, '' Conner told him.

'' No geomorphological damage, the blast had deficient energy to cause any damage. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a word of advice. As the blast was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much More power than what we just witnessed. An effective warning to say the to the lowest degree Derrick, guild on how to proceed ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a moment then replied, `` open up a channel Shelby let me verbalize to who is down there, maybe we can give a short admonition of our own. ''

Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All ready Derrick. ''

'' To the alien assailants, this is Emperor O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a Superior effect. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick delivery was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to move on, this is restricted distance and I will use deadly violence to defend it. '' The part shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the Lapplander hot head he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was next. `` So Rayb still as much a hot head as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that last ? Could swear you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock away onto Rayburn the moment he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a minute later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that damnable Bible ... Ray..b. What the pit is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the command chair. `` commanding officer ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still alive ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a furious hug. `` tinker's damn it sir ! We were all told that you were stagnant ! ''

Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a monumental physical body up of DOE from his residence I am afraid that it will go critical if no action is taken. ''

Rayburn 's oral fissure dropped open as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a projection within a ego contained system of rules of a three-d image ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the conclusion one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick mesmerism as to our current trouble ? ''

'' Can you force a shutdown of the systems ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will cause a massive power feedback destroying half of the major planet. Just decrease the stimulation superpower to the 5 primal guest ; that should render the organization in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would hold discovered that fact 2.3 irregular too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically utter, cybernetic advanced contrived intelligence agency. '' Rayburn fell to his knees, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I care stay here for an extended point of sentence ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the spine, `` I felt quite the same way Rayburn, though I must caution against trying to pry too far. ''

'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the hologram of Shelby.

'' They do n't like anyone probing too far in their memory circuits they can bring home the bacon quite a tight daze. '' Derrick told the man with a smile. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.

'' Are you sure you are Commander O'Toma ? He never seemed to understand what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experiment that had almost killed him.

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his head mumbling to his self. `` seven buffers yes, synchronise condenser, overload drain good, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no reliever in case of primary nonstarter ! You are one favourable son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could take in cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a here and now then began to smile, anathemize he was glad that Rayburn was on board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I look on you ? I need a trouble shooter like you in the new Empire. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the long clock time then tears began to slowly gloaming from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a firmly time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to deliver me around. Are you certain you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a type of delayed PTSD it is n't like what most have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can become extremely red, are you really for certain sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the trouble he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell hole. We got him out and he, for better choice of Holy Writ is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help you without very much problem, Mary ? ''

A mo later the hologram of Virgin Mary appeared, `` Yes Sire ? ''

'' I need you to run down Rayburn here, state me if his circumstance is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.

Rayburn 's mouth dropped open, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not possible. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipe Derrick had been using a few days before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.

'' Sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a consequence the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to elevate again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose boldness registered cushion then he slumped to the deck.

'' Really, your lordship you have to stop putting yourself in these situations ! '' Mary told Derrick shaking her finger at him as if she would a child. `` forefather it is extremely difficult to protect you if you are out here so a great deal. ''

'' Just scan Rayburn and see if we can touch on the damage that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A small rectangular shaped Light panel detached from the console table. Emitting an eerie honey oil beam that swept back and Forth River across the man 's promontory. A few minutes later the clear panel retreated, `` I have finished father. It appears that this man has a eminent state of resistivity to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take in at least three treatments. I am sorry sire, but his higher impedance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, The Virgin, there is no need to apologise, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its ego a lowly miracle. ''

'' No Sire, no miracle just a scientific discipline that seems to have been lost over the centuries that the empire has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to approximate his reaction.

'' We really need to bring the imperium back to what it was Mary. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for zippo. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Mary was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is untimely Mary ? ''

'' You, '' The Virgin started, `` embody all that the first emperor did. I am so very proud to be able-bodied to serve another man as neat as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is mightily. This Empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by lowly covetousness and jealously. All the affair I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his mind drifted back to the past tense for a few minutes.

On board Tempro the poor cropped blond hair, mass medium build man, with a smooth case was worried. So far none of the experiment had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Mary was n't going to be glad he 'd taste all 100,000 tissue samples that he had, nothing had worked. They had all failed each almost as ugly as the last, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

Mary appeared a few bit later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a slender interruption down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not mean to cause you such pain. I know that the experimentation all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a pattern. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Mary then the tears started. `` I am so regretful mother that I have failed so much. A traffic pattern mother ? '' Nodding Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the sample distribution so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to run out.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new cognition. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of bankruptcy. Smiling this clock time he 'd keep an eye on all the indicator and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Blessed Virgin it made things a unit lot wanton when the body had no rattling consciousness or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Blessed Virgin figured now maybe they had a chance to succeed ; unfortunately they would have to give birth Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the Emperor.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the Imperial world. Derrick was preparing to go back to the palace when Zan called.

'' Yes Zan is everything alright ? '' Derrick said.

'' Yes father, I thought you would care to know my wing mate is ready. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the Modern addition to the fleet.

'' Yes sire, '' A young, slender, long directly John Brown haired teenager appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to spill to all the A.I. 's about appearing naked ).

'' I 'm not sure if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the name that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new hologram.

Still bowing the young stripling nodded, `` Yes Sire it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the epithet that you were called. '' Derrick smiled pleased that this was going as well as it was.

Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry Sire. ''

Derrick 's mouthpiece dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
