Derrick was moving through the memory access way toward the main surgical incision of the shipyard. Ahead to his decent stave sergeant-at-law Randall Jimison signaled to his left. Sergeant world-class class Daniel Greg Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guard in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no disturbance. Shaking his head he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiet as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guard away with little to no interference.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in forepart of the blockheaded security measures door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the doorway clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any more than guards. Shaking his top dog Derrick had n't expected the post that was here. Apparently the ship yard had been infiltrated by some really bad eccentric. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transfer as it moved away from the ship thou.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hallway. So far the scans had indicated thirty men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the write up had said that 30 consistency had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their safety device. ‘ Damn'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at least eight out here, and another eight at the next junction. Might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to match, we could get five or six, but afraid the live on two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a instant as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the citizenry from the transport were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to make a relocation when an alarm system went off.

'' What 's with all the damn disturbance ? '' A large man with respective scars on his older human face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most guard dead sir, '' came the vocalism of a new sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the son of a bitch ! leave of absence three here with me, ought to be enough to control these pit nance. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Gregory John Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the walls picking their positions. Taking a deeply breathing time Derrick knew that this next part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.

All four of the plagiarist whirled toward where they had heard the yell. `` They are in here with us ! '' The older scratch faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the elbow room he said, `` You 're dead you piece of shit ! ''

haste toward the wall, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to shout then the com. was flying across the way with a hole in it. A mo later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the females in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's dead whether or not you get me ! '' Two guess from dissimilar directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one focal point as the man was falling back with a fix in the slope of his head.

Derrick ran out to check on Shiloh and Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, guarantee Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their back talk hanging open air. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to possess company. I want you and concede to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.

Grant snapped to attention as did battle of Shiloh. `` testament do sir ! '' Hiram Ulysses Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the opened wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a improve billet. Touching his ear he said. `` learn them all no survivor ! ''

'' No job, '' came Jimison 's blue answer.

'' felicitous to clean up the dirty word. '' Norman said with a grin.

The next ten transactions could only be described as a blood bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. Unable to see their mark the last few panicked trying to scarper. They were also taken down by various well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the groove.

'' commanding officer ? '' Came the voice of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.

'' Just wanted to let you know that we are unattackable. The wife and four child were well hidden so they were dependable. '' battle of Shiloh replied.

'' Wife and four children ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to conform to them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. bedamn it ! Why in the hell had n't he thought that they might be married AND have children. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.

'' Sure air force officer, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to restart the plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, just then I 'll get to adjoin all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to meet the man she says kept me animated to come in back to her ! '' battle of Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a breath of laughter in his vocalization. Looking up Derrick 's cheek was suddenly grim as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so fiddling time !

turn toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all hell disruption loose. I really do n't want to be here when the commando arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get crystalize enough. Unfortunately the ripalon Department of Energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

'' Are we in danger air force officer ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't recollect so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we take to sir ? Ca n't we just keep them all ? '' Norman said with a grim face.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather preserve it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd detest for others to call back I was changing their and my past times. No I have to keep things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking Shiloh 's kinfolk. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with large oculus then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes father, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's thoughts.

[ `` adept send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a mesa next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic pieces appeared. [ `` orbit, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear sign for at least 200,000 klick. After that a promoter is needed. I estimate that this is barely sufficiency length to provide minimal damage. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the ecstasy was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asian looking womanhood walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the char. Now he could see why Gunter battle of Pittsburgh Landing had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the following few 60 minutes are n't too a lot of a stress to you or your child. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the 16 and fourteen year old son of the fair sex. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these progeny of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the Male on the cover as he moved toward where Shiloh and Grant were in the program line of the ship.

Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` gladiola to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.

Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be fix to go in half an minute. Can we make you and your men a ride ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprise look.

'' I know when Thomas More than one dig is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different directions. Hell if I did n't cognise better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are stagnant. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men active and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a constituent of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Hiram Ulysses Grant and battle of Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to meet the mob. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some exquisitely boys Lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of petty Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't fit a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four children when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got widely then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You better not be in the plasma reactor elbow room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''

'' I have to go deputy ; I just hope our paths cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his hint. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to take in him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are clear. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. protrude away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only drive a moment ; do you really give to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full moon six foundation two inch peak. `` I 'll gather her one day deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hr ? You hold that little miss tight, very compressed understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a spirit of surprise and worry on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying past Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor room watching the engineer.

His hands on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the tone on her male parent 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young gentlewoman ! '' Shiloh told her with a relentless look on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost sorry look Shelly 's face held was about to cause battle of Pittsburgh Landing to laugh. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her forefather.

'' Hmmmm, not for certain, though this is a good thing to hold over your read/write head do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile small smile on his lips.

'' dada ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his principal as he touched the black Robert Floyd Curl Jr. on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his manus on his Kuki-Chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! seed on let 's go get you strapped in with your comrade and mother we 're about to go out. ''

They were walking toward the berthing domain when the Commander 's go password came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no issue what happens in the next few hours. You hold that short girl tight, very pixilated understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the notion that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a coincidence that the commanding officer had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control way Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't allow her in there. '' Came her reply.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange flavor. I have n't had one like this in a farsighted time last time was with the Commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can get a line almost care in your representative ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not for sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her plastered hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled facial expression. Almost the same thing that the commander had said !

Making his way to the restraint elbow room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the lilliputian female child was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hr later when Shiloh looked over to President Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then leave.

'' story depend in effect, all hatch closed, all seals good. No severance, no red ink of atmosphere. Now backing out, quick when you are sir. '' assignment told him.

Shiloh was about to trigger off the engines when he noticed they were still a petty close to the station. `` Mr. Ulysses S. Grant I suggest we put More than a simple thousand kilometer between us and the station. Did you notify the forest fire fighter of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown energy coming from the post. I have compensated for it though still no link. '' assignment told him.

Something was nagging at Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the place. The Energy Department he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger dictation. This is rapture R-00101. Do you understand me Ranger command ? ''

A moment later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. Repeat you -- - -- - high -- -- - area. '' Came the sapless sounding staticky signaling.

'' instruction we we 're attacked by buccaneer. Please send assistance to old blank yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Ulysses S. Grant said. `` Crap ca n't seem to get through. hypothesis we need to get advance away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometre and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine control battle of Pittsburgh Landing pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke free !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control electric chair. Damn it he hated to look like this ! `` clock time ? ''

'' Information says that the ship exploded five minutes from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the post. `` 4000 kilometers, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the intact ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficultness retrieving the last two ! sire I am afraid I am going to misplace them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the controller remark key board as he was typing faster than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would glow my IMT out completely. It would postulate at to the lowest degree a hebdomad to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't recede them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's centre had tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems together. buddy I am increasing and matching you IMT oftenness. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percentage, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one thirty five. Now at one fifty dollar bill. ''

'' I have them father the increment is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to go down from her optic. `` I 'm disconsolate Derrick I have no More. I can experience the system starting to run out. ''

Derrick heard a removed explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you alright ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will have to regen for a sentence. I 'm sorry I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with weeping in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the base near him. Shining bright a bit then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his limb wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.

The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to fire up her Fatherhood up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in technology again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little girl asked, `` Can you please facilitate my daddy ? He 's harm ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the petty girl staring at the smear he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a apprehensive spirit on his brass.

'' Of form Mister, '' the little miss said as a strange look came over her grimace. `` It 's a home for the care of the infirm, sick of, or injured ; hospital or adroitness service of process as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the small fry. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please fall out Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the former men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is pappa going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the controls. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was placidity. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, unknown indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprisal he could hardly strike. A little daughter 's giggle drew his attention to the other side of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the little girl threw her blazonry around the man as tears of joy started to fall from her centre. `` I was so pit I was going to lose you ! ''

'' I feel ticket, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a consequence then her brass lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the Elite Imperial Guardian ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed C ago. '' A startled Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to happen xiv others. ''

'' commanding officer ! beloved God it 's trade good to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to rise then struggle to get let loose. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few clock time myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.

'' I 'm delicately dada ; the see through man checked me and said I was in fantabulous health. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of light appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hired man through his countenance with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please get her to stop doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial word of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please turn back passing your hand through the holograph ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a strange flavour and light in her oculus. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the unaccented subject field as an interference practice of seemingly random variations in the opacity, density, or open profile of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you have inquiry ? ''

Still with a strange look on her face she asked, `` Are you bring forth via lense and lasers ? ''

'' No girl Shelly I am a project contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no matter what the luminance is in the room. I can be made with lens and optical maser though they are crude and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a system to put up you a way to survive outside the ship on your own while maintaining ascendence of the ship. I fear though that with the current technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the trivial girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got big. `` We have to get her to close that area of her encephalon off ! sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the lady friend completely at a red ink for the first time in a long prison term. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the disquieted father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's daddy. arrive back to me pamper girl, it 's ok just come back to pappa. '' Gunter said.

Softly at for the first time then they all saw the bout start from her eyes they heard. `` pop ? dad ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her father as she threw her sleeve around him. The only auditory sensation they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's chest.

Then they all heard a sigh as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a full psychoanalysis of her. Find out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Duncan James Corrow Grant walked in. `` You easily let his married woman out soon or we 're going to suffer a BIG problem with that piffling woman. She damn near took my head off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the terminal meter you got me sot. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't leave yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Grant snapped to aid then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken someone or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sad Tempro. ‘ cum in here to severalise me to slack I am either going to violently kill them or put a hollow in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh turd ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL steamed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's oculus got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straightaway here. Explain you are taking her and the son to see her husband. conclude off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the door then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather hard-pressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to rush ! ''

A mo later a rather angry Asiatic woman walked in with three boys. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly tears started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring extensive eyed at the medical way. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to obtain a way to avail Shelly.

Nodding to her hubby she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the only little girl I have or will ever sustain. I damned near conk having her I can never have children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another rung of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's boldness telling him thank you as she went to her girl
