Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his mouthpiece hanging open there was no way in pit that he was going to conceive that O'Toma was emperor.
Shaking his head he had to sit, almost as if by conjuring trick a nates appeared under him.

'' I 'm sorry I am finding this a lilliputian too hard to eat up. '' That was when Hartwell started to laugh.
'' It 's a commodity one I have to take, now then, I really demand to meet or utter to the man. The genius, that brought about the capture of over 100 pirate ship ships, near the old ship yards. ``

Sighing Derrick was n't exactly sure how he was going to examine to this man he was the genus emperor.

Mary appeared a present moment later.
'' Rear Admiral Hartwell, '' she stated. `` Do you by chance pick out me ? ``

Nodding he looked straight at her, `` You are a computer generated hologram, I recognize you from the few pictures that remain of the outset and last emperors. ``

`` Very proficient sir, what you may not know is that I was given the office to enact all imperial beard mandates, in all imperial matters. The most important in the shoemaker's last 2 C was finding individual from this man 's family. ''
Laughing a bit she continued, `` In this display case he actually found us. I was the one who sent the cogent evidence that the adjacent emperor had been found. Though I am sure you noticed I left his name off ? That was to protect what was left of his family. I am the lonesome one who can announce anyone to be the emperor. ``

Derrick looked over at Hartwell, nudging him he whispered, `` Joey, close your mouth. '' Nodding Hartwell did as Derrick told him.

'' You really are the man ? The one who scared the hell out of command ? You almost gave me a coronary with that first then the second substance, shite ; I thought we were toast after that second one. '' Shaking his head, `` When did you get that brilliant ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' fountainhead I had help, '' Derrick told him. Showing the man his download head set, Derrick was tempted to give the man a little taste, but he did n't want the man in the infirmary for days.

'' I have to say it is you, my god man you have an imperium waiting for you, '' Hartwell said.

'' I want you to be a part of it, I also want the others that are left, we can help almost everything that might be legal injury with them. '' Derrick said excited that he finally had a man he could actually trust.

Sighing Hartwell looked away tears filling his center, `` Of the nine that were left only 5 of us are still alive. Shilo and Grant were killed in a transport accident, the whole ship was lost. Jimison was killed trying to check a robbery. Norman, '' here Hartwell sighed even harder, `` was blown out of a hatching ; he 'd managed to economise 15 people that were trapped. He heard the hachure failing and shoved them into liveliness sauceboat capsule, he 'd just managed to get it shut and secured when the hatch went. ''

Even self-aggrandising tears were in his eyes, `` He was a hero ! They said it was his defect, he was n't even there, he was on the former position of the ship when the birdcall came out. The cocksucker blamed their own incompetency on him ; I have tried to reopen the case for 2 eld now. The president was part proprietor so it was swept under the rug ! ''

Derrick growled Jessye Norman had been the best of his unit, inviolable and capable with a moral codification that was minute only to Derrick 's own.

Derrick sat there a consequence waiting for Hartwell to cool off, then Derrick spoke, `` There will be judge for them, I 'll induce for certain of that, if it 's the last affair I do, there will be judge for them all ! ``

Hartwell looked up at Derrick, `` Listening to you I can tell you are n't the same man I knew all those years ago, I also believe that you will do as you say. ``

'' What of the others Dempsy, Norman Thomas, Rayburn, and Kimison ? '' Derrick asked though he was n't too sure as shooting he was going to be happy with the answer.

'' Dempsy is still as tough as he was back then, he joined the Rangers with me. He 's turned down a commission more times than I want to accept, he still says that you and I were born leaders and he was more happy following than he is leading.
As for the others, let 's see the finally I heard Thomas the doubting Apostle went into the salvage patronage, damn good pilot from what I hear. Rayburn settled down on a far innovator existence on the Galatic rim doing pretty goodness the last clip I saw him. '' Here Hartwell stopped a look of wrath on his typeface, `` They shoved Kimison into a veteran 's retrieval center, more like a slow death pit, one-half of the people staffing the place do n't manage. The other half looks the early way. I pay for him, he saved my life Thomas More than a few times, I owe him that plus a unanimous lot more. It 's the exclusively reasonableness he his treated and tended as well.

Derrick growled, he 'd seen those supposed old stager's shopping mall he had to agree they were death colliery, really not even suitable of dying in. Between clenched teeth Derrick said, `` I will cause him out of there as soon as I can, I owe him quite a bit myself, and I intend to repay him. ''

Here Derrick slammed his fist down on the tabular array in front line of him. `` I 'm going to postulate your permit to remove him ; I need you to radio me on this oftenness when you sign the papers. '' Hartwell nodded the look of surprise then pride in his eyes spoke mass of what he thought of Derrick 's plan.
Madonna had been standing nearby taking in everything that Derrick had said. Everything would make it that much prosperous when she entered his psyche to facilitate realize the sleep of the distress that she felt was still there.

'' Sire, '' Mary spoke up a present moment later, `` I know that you trust the Rear full admiral, but as per your plan, do you like him to be released with the noesis of just who you are ? As you yourself advised me you are still worried about your family. At present I have only been able to shoot down 2 sentries in abrir oculta, at present there is no scourge though I am afraid that will alter when who the emperor moth is, is known. ``

`` Yes I know, but to do any character of retentiveness block might seem as if he were tampered with while he was here. ''

Derrick sat for a few moments thinking on the problem, `` Mary, Shelby, the mind wipe/ blocking agent can it be adjusted to magnify the strength of the idea ? To make it almost unsufferable to break into the mind without the equipment we have here ? ``

'' Calculating now, confirming with Mary, '' Shelby stated. `` It is possible, though it will fill a whole day to take effect. '' Confirmed Shelby.

'' I concur, though I do have a device that can fall that clock time by 12 hour, '' The Virgin smiled sweetly.

'' wait, wait, wait, you want to do what to me ? '' Hartwell asked a short afraid.

'' Do n't occupy I 've used this legion times, you 'll be safe. '' Virgin Mary told a now shaking Hartwell.

Looking over at Derrick Hartwell was n't too sure, `` It 's ok believe me, you are a shut down friend of mine that puts you in an extremely rare spot to Mary and to me. Just to let you know, you are the first and for now the simply person to know who and what I am. '' Derrick told him.

Joseph Hartwell 's chest swelled, his old commander was trusting him with this, then he looked at the small device that appeared on the table next to him. `` Alright commanding officer if you trust it, then I guess I will also. ``

Sighing Derrick picked up the device feeding into a time slot on the console.
'' I am sorry if we have panicked you, it 's either this or we do a computer storage wipe and replacing on you and really ? I prefer this to anything else, this way I have an ally out there that can help me with later ... things. '' Derrick said as something on a console table drew his care, nodding his head he pulled up a view of a man in an locomotive room.

Confused only a moment Derrick looked back at Hartwell with a smile.
'' I see Dempsy up to no expert as common, '' Derrick said a huge smile on his cheek. `` You think we can get him without alerting the ease of the annexe ?

'' Hmmmm he appears to be in an access crawl way, I doubt anyone knows he 's there, I think it should be safe though, '' here Hartwell smiled a panoptic smile. `` You might require to warn him before you .... you know. ``

Laughing a moment Shelby appeared nodding to Derrick, `` Alright here goes. ''

In a deformed voice Derrick said, `` Crewman Dempsy that had better not be an illegal alcoholic car I see you making there in that Australian crawl way ! ``

Dempsy 's mouth opened, what the hell ? Looking around he decided someone in the crew was messing with him.
Smiling Derrick opened the channel again, `` so Demples you going to ignore me again huh ? You want another 5 twenty-four hours off the liquor ? ``

This time Dempsy 's optic narrowed, `` I doubt you could do ... who is this ? ``

'' Tell you what come to my place and we 'll talk about it. '' Derrick started to grin at the look of confusedness on Dempsy 's face.

'' I do n't have ... '' there was a flash and Dempsy was laying at Hartwell 's fundament, `` ... the meter ... to come .... '' Looking around Dempsy jumped to his feet and saluted Hartwell. `` I 'm sad sir I did n't know it was you ! ``

'' At informality Dempsy, it was n't me it was our host here. '' Hartwell said as Dempsy was staring wide eyed at the crawl blank space he 'd just been in on the opinion screen.

Dempsy was staring at various of the machines and panel, silent for a instant he whispered, `` This is incredible, I 've only learn about the things I am seeing here. None of this has existed for over 800 old age ! I have to shake the hand of the one who found this. '' Turning he had n't yet noticed Derrick who was watching the medium build red headed man.

`` So I take it you like what you see ? '' Derrick said his vocalization still disguised.

Dempsy nodded still almost in a spell, then a light seemed to go off in his head. `` Hey wait ! There were only 3 masses that knew about the ignoring and dared to call me Demples. I had good reason to brush aside command ! One is here, one is on the Galactic rim, the live no one has heard ... from ... in, Commander ? '' This last whispered in awe.

Sitting forward Derrick smiled, `` foresighted time Dempsy, too long ! ``

Dempsy was about to start yelling when Shelby appeared, `` Derrick I am afraid that the setup he was working on is starting to ramp up up pressure. I am afraid explosion is imminent. ``

'' Alright send a pulse and shut it down, venthole as often force per unit area as you can, I believe it uses a tri-switch ? '' Dempsy could only nod staring at Shelby.

'' Shut down commencing, press being expelled, '' Shelby replied then vanished.

'' My god was that a 3-dimensional persona ? An encoding of the light field as an hinderance convention of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, density, or the control surface profile of the photographic medium ? '' Dempsy whispered.

`` No it 's more of a projection within a self contained system ..., Demspy ! God I have missed you especially since now I can understand what you are saying. '' Derrick said with a smile.

Dempsy 's backtalk dropped open, though he was n't sure enough what had him more in shock the hologram, the systems on this ship, or the fact that the commander was back and actually understood what he was talking about ! Standing up straight Dempsy snapped off a salute, `` Sorry commanding officer as I said before I did n't have sex it was you. I 'm dark I had heard that you had passed, '' smiling Dempsy said, `` should have known you were too problematical to be taken out that loose. ''

'' Oh you have n't heard anything yet Dempsy ! Tell him who you are. '' Hartwell said.
Dempsy looked at Hartwell then Derrick with another fox spirit on his face.

'' Oh naught that big I am in command of the in conclusion of the EIG ships, I have 4 right now, each with their own hologram, plus I am the next emperor. See nothing that big. '' Derrick said a half smiling on his face.

Dempsy was still a little in shock ; `` 4 oh my god you lucky bastard ! Oh sorry sir. '' Dempsy quickly said.

Derrick and Hartwell started to chuckle, lead it to Dempsy to get over energise about engineering. They both watched as he tentatively reached out and touched a gore here, a CRT screen there. A moment later he walked up to Derrick and asked, `` Commander sir ? Anyway I could stay here, ... forever ? ``

Only a one-half grin on his aspect Derrick turned back to Hartwell before he answered. `` Fraid not Dempsy, the Rangers would depart looking for you if you just up and disappeared. ``

Dempsy turned to look at Hartwell, `` I could shoot an prolonged leave, then not come back. ''

Hartwell smirked at Dempsy, `` Now you know that the Ranger would start an investigation the mo you were a few minutes late coming back. I do n't think you want the entire fleet looking for you, at least not 'til the commandant and the fire warden are more set up together. ``

Derrick smiled bigger seeing that Dempsy was about to start whining. `` It 's alright Dempsy you 'll get you probability to recreate later. Right now I need to adjust both of your mental capacity before I release you. ``

Dempsy did a double take then started hard at Derrick, `` You want to do exactly what to me and my brain ? ``

'' I want to tone your cognitive power, making it harder to deep rake and swallow information. '' Derrick stated after a moment.

'' Is that all ? I thought you might be wanting to wipe my retentivity and plant something else ... there, why are you staring at me commander ? '' Dempsy stated.

'' Uh, '' Derrick started, `` unfortunately that might still be an option. ``

Dempsy 's back talk dropped open as he started to back away from Derrick and Hartwell, `` take care my brain is all right like it is. ``

'' I said that MIGHT still be an option knowing your brain you 'll lie with it, '' Derrick said smiling.

'' fountainhead maybe my mental capacity would love it but I would n't ! I happen to like who I am damn it ! '' Dempsy said further backing away, causing another round of laughter from Hartwell and Derrick.

Shelby appeared next to Dempsy a wide smile plastered to her brass, `` sir, '' she said, `` it is completely safe I have used it many sentence in the past 800 eld, besides I have scanned you brain already and found that nothing duplicate will have to be done. Neither will I have to blue-pencil anything from you. ``

Dempsy breathed a sigh of relief, `` Why did n't you say that in the first seat ? ``
Derrick just shook his drumhead god he really had missed Dempsy.
one-half an hour later both men were finished with their procedure, Derrick gave both a communicator to telephone them later.

After sending Dempsy back Derrick paused a moment, `` Let me know the coordinates of Rayburn 's place I might pay him a visit soon. If you find out exactly where Dylan Marlais Thomas is and what fellowship I 'd apprize it, as for Kimison it wo n't be long before he is out. Get the paperwork done and I 'll submit attention of the rest. ``

'' I will as quickly as I can, '' Hartwell told Derrick.

On board his ship respective yelled as soon as he appeared, `` Stand down ! '' Hartwell yelled.

Turning a distorted articulation spoke, `` We thank you Rear admiral Hartwell we will be in touch. Also to the young man at the science station, please break off attempting to skim for us, thank you. '' With that the screen went blank as several started at it and Hartwell with open oral fissure. Sitting down Hartwell started in on his report.

Introductory meeting and Salutation
Report 115-001-RSFW-004
Ranger Special power Wing-001
Rear Admiral Joesph Hartwell, commanding

After meeting with the new emperor as per orders from dictation and extending our script in friendship,
it is this ship's officer 's feeling that said salutation was well received. The new emperor who as of yet will not
reveal his name at show feels confident that the Rangers and the empire will be able to forge an
alinement that should be good to all.

Though unknown to this police officer, the emperor appears to be a honest and compassionate man. The measure
of intelligence the man showed was indeed unnerving the few systems I saw on board his vessel make
the Ranger pale in equivalence. He has left a way to communicate with him the succeeding time we wish to.

It is the popular opinion of this military officer that the emperor moth is indeed who he says he is. It is this officer 's honest
sentiment that command has made the outdo determination in all phases of their traffic with this individual.
At gift I have no further recommendations to present.

There he thought that ought to throw them off for a spell, and perhaps give me sentence to startle the other things I need to, Hartwell thought. On board the last ship Dempsy smiled holding onto the small device that Shelby had given him, damn if it did n't make the hard drink a snake pit of a lot electric sander ! hellhole according to her it was 100 times safer too, blaze yeah ! Rubbing his Kuki-Chin Dempsy thought a minute now if there was a way to go it to his bunk that would really help oneself !

Derrick could almost see the estimate that Dempsy had churning through his wit, maybe it had n't been a good thought to tell Shelby to give him the purifier/distiller. Derrick started to express mirth when Dempsy took a drink and started to cough from the much more purer hard liquor. HA ! Derrick thought teach you to not test it first !

Rejoining the residue of the ships they were about to travel out when both Conner and Zan signaled him. `` sire ! '' Came their mad voices, `` we are picking up 2 signals ! Both on the galactic rim ! ``

Derrick rushed to a panel reading the signaling they had received, `` Alright Shelby, let 's get this one right wing now ! ''
Derrick said pointing to a point on the screen. `` The early we 'll get as soon as the offset is secure. Conner, Zan I want you to delay here and observe an eye on the Republic fleet I still do n't have a lot of trust of them. ''

Both told him they 'd do all they could, then Shelby flashed out near the first point. Looking over the reading again Derrick started to test all that he could, finally he cleared it and Shelby brought it aboard.

'' The mentality box is in fantabulous shape, though as I feared the power within is extremely weakly. '' Shelby told him.

'' As soon as you have it secure, contain us to the other one. '' Derrick advised her.

'' Yes Derrick, '' an excited Shelby said. `` All secure commencing Trans-warp to second reading. ``

Stopping within scanning range of a function Derrick wanted to make sure about the second box. The Reading he 'd gotten had indicated that something was n't quite right about it. They 'd been there perhaps an minute when Derrick looked up from the screen with a grim brass. `` Shelby I do n't live if it 's possible for us to get this one. Even with you IMT the legal separation is almost impossible. It appears that this device is bonded at a molecular level, your IMT is very, very accurate but without a more secure focal point I 'm not sure we can safely guarantee this one. ``

Madonna and Shelby both appeared a import later, `` As very much as I wish to differ with you I must concur. Though father if I remember flop you were working on a molecular differentiation device, not long after the explosive device that you removed from Zan. '' Virgin Mary told him.

'' Yes but I gave that up because at the molecular floor everything started to wait more and more the Same. '' Derrick sadly stated.

Mary thought about it for a fourth dimension then also sadly replied, `` It is a shame that we have the genius box right here. ``

'' Make a note of the attitude when we are better prepared we can return and retrieve it. '' Derrick said, Mary only nodded she could secern that Shelby was n't happy about leaving one of her baby out here alone for longer than necessary.

Derrick decided that a few more minutes was n't going to injure, taking readings Derrick worked furiously at the console table. Adjusting almost as fast as his fingers could he started to get a punter estimate about the adherence of the device, not all that different from that which was on the stellar fin of Zan. Hmmm looking further at the readings Derrick decided that it might be possible though once again it could be extremely dangerous.

Looking over at Blessed Virgin and Shelby he was n't for certain Mary would let him attempt such a deliverance again. Sighing he had to suffer more solidness facts and solution than he did last meter or there would be no going after the box. Derrick knew that last meter he had been close but 1 problem and he 'd given up, damn he never did that. Was it the fact that he had so much on his plateful ? That had to stop right now, without these ships there would n't be an conglomerate or the opening of starting another.

Derrick called Zan and Conner advising them that they would be here a while longer and he might need one of them to join them. Derrick started to work non-stop trying to adapt the molecular foil, finally 2 days later Derrick could see that the pattern of the device and the box could be separated. The only problem he could see was the placement of the enhancers, too close the billing went off, not close adequate and the tutelage would do with the box destroying the ship it was transported into. eternal sleep deprived, fatigue beyond belief Derrick tried to push even harder finally getting the showtime prototype finished though he had to prove it first. By the end of the third day Madonna had been calling Derrick for 2 24-hour interval, Derrick finally hearing her was advised that the fleet of democracy ships were pledging to Derrick except for about 100.

Those had left and were causing trouble, would he like her to conduct care of
them ? Staring at Mary Derrick was having a hard time figuring out who she was.

'' Uh, '' He started, `` I 'm having problems processing much beyond this right wing now if they are hurting mass than yes stop them. '' Mary nodded she was starting to worry about the emperor, she 'd never seen one of them work like this man did.

Blessed Virgin opened a channel to the ships that had escaped, `` I am advising you to wrench yourselves in the Rangers are now working with the ... ''

'' Why do n't you shut up you stupid ... '' a voice started, then was silent as the ship it was on was blown away.

'' Now then, '' Mary started again, `` I am authorized to allow you to grow your ego in, minimum condemnation and no other punishment. The option you saw, branded as enemies of the empire you will be hunted the respite of your lives.
I 'll give you an hour to decide then I will embark on penalty. ``

Looking in on Derrick Mary took Shelby aside, `` Shelby I am detecting that he is on the threshold of collapse, he needs to rest. ``

'' I realize this Mary but I have seen him like this before it is almost useless unless we stun him. I 'm not certain I am prepared to look his anger. '' Shelby told Mary fear apparent on her face.

grinning Madonna told Shelby not to interest then walked into where Derrick was working.

`` Sire, '' Blessed Virgin started, `` Unless you rest starting in 30 irregular under imperial mandate I will stupefy and restrain you 'til such prison term as you have recovered. ``

Derrick looked up from the device on the work bench, `` You would n't make bold ! '' He said.

'' father it is my master job to protect you this includes from yourself. Now then cease and desist or I 'll be forced under the mandatory to take aim natural process. '' The Virgin replied.

Derrick grunted and turned away ignoring Mary 's holograph, `` You ca n't hurt me. ``

Sighing Mary over rode several system of rules on the ship, two pocket-sized electrodes came out of the wall, Derrick saw them and still ignored them. Sighing again Mary told him, `` Last clock time sire or you 'll storm me to take action. '' Sighing again there was a small whimper then both electrodes were experience as was the burster that shot out of them.

Derrick looked up as the first bolts hit him, `` Ok I guess I was faulty, '' he said as he slumped to the floor.

Shelby and Mary had mechanically skillful arm lifting Derrick's unconscious mind body and lightly depositing him in his make-shift bed. `` If he awakes and still has low readings advise me immediately, we have to get sure he stays healthy. '' Madonna told Shelby.

Virgin Mary was back on the imperial beard major planet the time was almost up for the answers from the now 99 ships that had been causing trouble. Though she was also keeping an eye on Derrick she had to deliver affair ready for him.

After confirming all the ships surrender, Mary went back to the ship to take in Derrick.

'' Shelby, '' Mary started, `` while he is in this state we should finish what you started in his mind. ``

Shelby nodded as they both delved into his mind though not as helter-skelter as before Shelby could see that much had returned. Tracing all the way in, they soon found another harbour that the war had created, far cryptical than Shelby had been before.

Drawing near to it they were suddenly hit by a titanic wind. `` What are you doing back here ? '' Shelby heard the struggle hardened Derrick again. `` Ah ! trade good you brought another for me to pattern on ! Once I 'm through gutting both of you then I can rent over this plaza ! ''

Lunging out Derrick slashed at Mary actually cutting her arm, amazed Shelby pushed Mary away as she stepped in front line of Derrick. `` move ! '' He shouted lunging this time passing through Shelby. Grabbing his head she could see all the nuisance and hate that was contained there, then she saw even more revulsion then the last time.

Derrick almost completely firm, Mary also reached out grabbing Derrick 's head. Screaming he began to flail away trying to split free of the two char that had an almost death hairgrip on him.

'' Let me go if you destroy this place he will never be safe again, you have to stop. I 'll kill you both for this, you think he loves you ? You think he trusts you ? Get real ! Oh that 's right you are n't ! '' An almost evil laugh escaped his lips as he tried harder and harder to get loose.

Finally with one last scream, he managed to wrench one arm loose again slashing at Shelby. As the chaos started to clear the Derrick that they both knew, was huddled in a recess shaking, terrified to move.

Both fair sex walked up to him each sat adjacent to him both holding him. Derrick looked up
at the two holding him, kissing Virgin Mary on the cheek then hugging her. Turning to Shelby he started to speak, `` Again you were here, thank you both, '' leaning in he kissed Shelby deeply and passionately, turning they all rose to exit to the surface .
