Hartwell was still sitting there with his lip open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female ? What in the the pits were they going to do with a bare female. A wry grin came to his lips then he slapped his face. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the sentence to imagine 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 take the air in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit ! The female was still raw !

'' 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 Saami equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why hassle with it. Since you 're here though, you can treat it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can do by it. '' Then she walked out her laugh echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his heading as he looked at the female person on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, story ! ``

Johnathon appeared a here and now later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be capable to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen privation might birth caused. ``

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

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

'' Do something about her not wear off clothes. '' Hartwell said with a clump in his throat. Again he shook his headland, he and the squad had been through hell, horrors men should n't see and give birth survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the fight subject, pissing his drawers. All because of a naked female person ? font it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the air force officer said.

Derrick was about to postulate 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 dark to disturb you commanding officer. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the captive. '' 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 blaze do you require me to do with a naked ... On second thought do n't answer that. '' Hartwell said with a look of humiliation 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 abridgement with a brain box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



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

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` afford it back to me ! '' The lilliputian lady friend was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only stimulate his headspring.

'' 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 girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mister decent man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick rustle. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through noblewoman. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Blessed Virgin said.

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

A moment later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm disconsolate 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 ingest all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a bit as she asked quietly, `` Still no Holy Scripture on when Gunter gets back ? ``

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

'' I really hope so father. The boys and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife. '' 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 improve make it back alive, I do n't damp my Scripture 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 opposition we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not jakes to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an block look on his expression. `` At the demonstrate 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 determine spirit on her face.



At the sharpness of the Galaxy three humble craft suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to outride 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 early two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that closing curtain outcry near the Tendrax home world. '' One of the other ship's occupier 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 assault 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 picture. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want to mate with you ! '' The other 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 for sure, '' the showtime ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awe-inspiring lot. ``

'' Christ ! You 're getting more and more utter the closer to home we get. Look, just let it drop and we 'll forget that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian pleasure craft. '' The damaged ship man replied.

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

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

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

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need length of the approaching fleet. grant me a time frame for their penetration of the galactic bound. ``

'' deference, '' the dim-witted A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At lay out speed they will imbue the boundary of the galax within two weeks, six daytime. At present scans ineffectual to determine the turn of ships. ``

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

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an answer. At demonstrate, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown component to weigh with current data. If this is a marriage challenge party than the phone number could be as eminent as fifty to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as xl yard. '' The A.I. droned.

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

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the third agent. If this is a war company then the bit could be as high as, one hundred one thousand. '' The A.I. answered.

'' doodly-squat ! Damn it ! All you had to do was make dainty, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and imprecate near kill it ! '' The for the first time ship man said.

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

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

'' What ! ? You want me to present 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 start opened a comm. `` Like it really matters, he 'd get laid they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an hour he tried to send a signal to no help. Picking up what appeared to be a gravid fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive dust airfield. Here at the back end of it there were existent recognizable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life signs at all.

All three of the males could only stare with their oral cavity open. The field had to be one thousand of kilometers long and wide. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?

'' Scan the present debris discipline. Can you set what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The offset ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scans confirming identity of ship wreckage. All department that are entire indicate that they are remnants of a very large Tendraxian fleet. hurt was induced by high temperatures and thermal radioactivity. '' The A.I. informed the male.

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

'' Affirmative, at pose, I am detecting the front of one hundred EIG life story abridgement. Though none are alive, they are all giving off indications that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many place were empty when we went by there. They must own come after the EIGs hard if the EIGs used thermic weapons. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't have a go at it he 'll be glad to get a enumeration. '' The first gear ship man said.

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

Another alarm clock started to go off as all three turned to look at the recital. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon get-up-and-go detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not trigger off trans-warp. Ripalon DOE will cause a degenerative force to the criterion atom causing failure within the system of rules. ``

All three of the Male looked at each other shaking their foreland. 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 arrangement is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely engage the arrangement ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' At present swiftness, six hours, twenty three minute of arc to cut across the debris field. Then another XV min to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of grade drew a groan from all three of the male person. shit, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an hr. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of alarm clock go off.

Looking over the reading all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life history sign. They were faint, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't give birth fourth dimension for this. '' The second ship man said.

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

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



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

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

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

'' Sorry sir, did n't have in mind to make in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.

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

'' I wanted to let you know, we have heavy activity within that sphere where the buckler is. '' Thomas the doubting Apostle said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

Hartwell nodded as he thought a instant. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A moment later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's major planet. `` Alright show me. ``

Thomas nodded as a topographic map appeared between them. Pointing Dylan Marlais Thomas stated, `` all indication are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this glade. Unfortunately, the carapace is making taking readings within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to view. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the orbit closer. Damn, if he did n't get laid, that arena, looked a lot like the piazza near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to roleplay there as tiddler. Suddenly, a thinking came to him, drawing up another set of plans of the Sami area. plan that were below the surface well within a cave system.

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

Confused a few seconds Lowell Thomas stared a minute, then a wide smiling broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Dylan Marlais Thomas was at it for a moment then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the airfoil. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several Sir Thomas More map. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a hill. `` That 's it, if I remember justly that goes through to the inside of the shield. ``

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

'' Just a lot of the commando, especially the ones that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a composition on the condition of headwaiter Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral Prime. Captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as severe as first thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will want at least another day. ``

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

'' Well sir, Colonel Manassa Mauler 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 go on it in, though it was starting to break through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that Jack Dempsey was now in.

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

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

'' alerting ! alerting ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a take aim path to the last battle. Shall I notify the emperor butterfly ? '' 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 tangency in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At present sir, we ca n't get a incontrovertible id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the system of rules. They moved across the limit a unawares sentence ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' sustenance an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that huge flying field of residual ripalon Department of Energy, we do n't risk sending any ships, 'til we can better shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his accord as he watched the three ships move across his sieve. Was this a prelude to another invasion ? Like the commandant said, he 'd have to hold open his eye on them.

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

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female person started to yell. Hartwell could only shake his fountainhead as he watched on the horizon screen.

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

Jonathon appeared with a stunned look on his face. `` Apparently full admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her hired hand made striking with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to still her only seemed to make 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 distaff jerked toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to commence trading operations. I would bow down myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

Almighty 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 person was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

The female looked at Hartwell through her bout confused, `` Crying Almighty sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``

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

The distaff cast her eyes down, then the tears started to come faster. `` I am sorry God Almighty sir. I did not mean to blow liquid in front man of you. I accept what penalisation you deem necessary. ``

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

'' I am wasting something Lord sir. However you wish to punish me, I will go for. 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 openhanded load of poop I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female person started to shake violently.

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

This clip it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from concern, more from the utmost wrath he was feeling. What the hell kind of citizenry were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep open his temper under control.

Barely keeping his phonation low he stated, `` I am not going to kill you nor have you killed. Do you love where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a administration aesculapian property. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more good rearing geezerhood in me. ``

Hartwell 's eyes went widely as he stared at the female in disbelief. Again the female person drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section 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 exam bay of that ship. ``

The female tentatively asked her brim trembling, `` The empire that recently destroyed a big many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even more afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are part of the barbarian stash that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his sassing. `` Not as uncivilised as your masses, to round with so many ships ! tyke would n't follow in as big a force if they did n't think of to invade. ''

'' Creator sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our self. We ... '' The distaff started.

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

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

Hartwell was stunned at this go of issue. Sighing he looked away from the female person. imprecate it, was going to be a retentive few future days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to keep his uncle Trento from exploding. The cretin 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 grapple to get those idiots to get it here ? River Trent asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a good while. They said they took what you said literally. You said contribute up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trento shook his foreland, `` Dear god, how in the hell on earth are they still alive ? You 'd call up that they were saucy 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 salutary than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

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

Both men stepped back as the weapon was moved into position. Trento smiled with an almost gleeful look on his face. `` fervour ! Blow the hell out of that place, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent River yelled.

Inside the bunker the scarred face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial news heavy bodily function was detected.

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

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

The concussion of the first hit, knocked all of them off their feet. The loss leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second blast hit a little further back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard respective of his men scream, then nothing.

Trento was watching a read out as the first of the carapace hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the second and third base 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 send men after them, when there was a commotion at the back of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a phonation next to him shocked him.

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

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

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` maitre d', David Greeson of the imperial beard special strength. '' Shaking both men 's bridge player they both looked at each other shocked.

'' How in the snake pit did you get in here ? We have watches 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 hired hand of the Greeson soul. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' imperial special force out ? Then the emperor is aware of our post ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a oceanic abyss 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 dwelling house human race. The rest of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

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

William was suddenly a foundation off the base. `` I am in no way an evil, resplendency seeking ass ! Do not make the error 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 thirty instant ago. ``

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

Greeson held up his hand to quit William. `` I am not here to hurt you, rather to assist. Besides I am sure that SHE would be pretty pissed if I did injure you. ``

William and Trento 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 directly in the eye. `` Why young lady Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's mouths dropped open, even as a panoptic grinning spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the emperor now. Has been for some sentence. It seems, that she is one of the three most important citizenry in the imperium. ``

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

William finally found his voice then sank to his knee joint. tear were starting to feed as he stated, `` She 's alive ? My god she 's alive ! ''
