Dolichotis patagonum was clutching Book of the Prophet Daniel Norman, a full Colonel as desperately compressed as she could. Sobbing into his chest she was terrified that if she let go he might disappear as if he were made of grass. Pulling him tighter to her, her sob increased in mass as everyone in the chuck entrance hall was tranquillize.

Book of the Prophet Daniel Norman could only stand there holding his daughter. It was too soundly to be true she was here, she was awake. time lag ! She was a Captain ? A fleet senior pilot ? A tone of shock then surprise crossed his face as he nodded. He knew his old commandant ; if he 'd upgrade her to Captain then he knew she more than deserved it. Looking at the monitoring cameras Daniel nodded again then mouthed the run-in, ‘ thank you commander.'

Derrick was nodding when he saw the Colonel say this. He figured Daniel would probably know what he had done. He also figured that Book of the Prophet Daniel knew that he did it where it was deserved. Smirking Derrick view, perhaps he should have got made Daniel a full general after all.

Still ineffectual to actuate Mara never wanted to let her father go again. She had suffered long and hard cerebration that he was gone, that he 'd never be intimate how proud she was of him. She had done all that she had trying to bear as brave, one-half as a good deal of a hoagy that he was.

'' I ... I ca n't believe that you are here. That you are alive ! My god I have dreamed of the day that I would determine out it was a lie. That I would see you walk through the room access and control me. I never gave up the hope that you were somehow alive. '' mara said her SOB finally quieting.

Daniel still in a state of stupor could only kiss her pass. He 'd missed his treasured girl more than anything than he 'd ever had. `` I also thought to never see you again ; I took that job to make believe it home sooner to you. You were always the earth to me. I would give birth done anything for you my precious missy. ''

Whispering into his breast still mara said, `` Please begetter, and delight never leave again. ''

'' Oh sister miss, '' Daniel started. `` I have no design of doing that at all ! ''

Suddenly Mara looked at the mesa where Greeson was sitting. `` Father ! Please I want you to meet someone who is just as heartfelt to me ! '' Pulling her father to the board Greeson arose and snapped off a salutation.

'' Sit son, no demand for that right now Warrant ! '' Daniel said quietly.

Greeson sat as did Mara and Daniel. `` don, this is David Greeson. '' Here mara dropped her voice and eyes. `` My fiancé. ''

Both Greeson and Book of the Prophet Daniel 's heads snapped around to stare at Mara. `` I am ? '' Greeson said a mo later in shock.

A wide smile broke out on Daniel 's face as he nodded. Just like her to go after what she wanted as aggressively as she was.

Daniel looked at Greeson and nodded no, then smiled. `` Do n't reason son, I know my little lady friend. You would n't get very far I know. ''

Greeson 's face still held jolt, and then a obtuse grin crossed his face. `` Ok, so when did WE adjudicate this ? ''

'' Did you blank out ? '' mara started. `` If we both survived we would adjoin up and get together. At to the lowest degree I thought that was what you meant. What ! ? Now you saying you have no interest in me ? '' Mara said a slight flavor of anger on her nerve.

Greeson 's eyes opened all-embracing then a smirk appeared on his face. `` I thought it was the other way around. I had showed interest, you on the other

hand seemed to indicate no sake. ''

'' I ... but ... I, '' was all Dolichotis patagonum seemed to get out.

Daniel 's eyes went across-the-board as he saw his girl spit tied for the first base prison term in his life. Looking at Greeson a new respect grew as he nodded this was a man to be reckoned with. Then he looked closer seeing that the man had the stance and preparedness like Dempsy. Hmmmm, picking up a fork Daniel threw it at Greeson. Nodding when the man snatched it from the air too fast to follow.

'' So I see that Dempsy has finally taken a pupil. So I take it the both of you killed her ? '' Daniel stated.

Greeson started to speak then snapped his mouth shut.

'' If you really wanted to know that which he is n't supposed to speak. This one should speak to the teacher not a poor slow bookman ! '' Daniel heard a voice from the retiring public speaking behind him.

Turning around Book of the Prophet Daniel nodded as Dempsy was leaning against the doorway smirking at Daniel. `` This one might if the teacher was not hiding away not wanting to be seen by champion. '' Daniel said with narrowed centre at Dempsy.

Narrowing his eyes back at Daniel Dempsy replied, `` One 's friends should have known that this one was waiting. ''

Daniel got up walking half the distance to Dempsy who met him. `` That 's if you gave a diddlyshit about letting me know you were alive damn it ! '' Daniel shouted.

'' This one had been trying to let you know. Unfortunately you were beat. Though I still tried to let you know ! '' Dempsy said starting to get rather animated.

Greeson was watching the interchange with at low gear mild sake then more as their discussion became more heated.

Daniel 's eyes were wide as he responded. `` How in the hell would you let me know ! ? I was utter for god 's rice beer ! ''

Dempsy looked straight into Daniel 's heart saying, `` Being the warrior you are, I expected you to be in Ame. I expect no lupus erythematosus of any of us when our meter comes upon us. ''

Daniel sighed shaking his head. `` Again you spout that mythology, I ... ''

'' No not mythology the the true, as I said I expect all of us to go there. '' Dempsy said bowing low to Book of the Prophet Daniel.

Greeson 's oral fissure was hanging open seeing his teacher do this. Book of the Prophet Daniel sighed then bowed low to Dempsy. He then grabbed the man hugging him, `` anathemise it, it 's trade good to see you again. You I think I have missed far more than any other. ''

Dempsy straightened up replying, `` Of course ! The fact that you were far more level-headed than you let on always bothered me. '' Dempsy was about to plough away when he turned back. `` I have n't forgotten the many favors you did for me my friend. Nor do I think will I ever be capable to truly pay you back. ''

Book of Daniel shook his head, `` I told you before damn it ! We were familiar there is no paying back. I did what I did because we depended on each early no more no less. We had to or we 'd take been dead after the first workweek. ''

Dempsy was nodding his pass then held up a hand. `` I can empathize the comradeship between the team. What you did went far beyond that. It is one of the main reasons you will always be my best admirer, '' Here Dempsy stopped and saluted. `` Sir ! ''

Growling Daniel started to stir his head, `` kibosh that right now or I 'll speak to the commander about you being a total colonel ! '' Daniel said.

Dempsy 's face held a grimace for a instant before he replied. `` I hope not. He 's already threatened to pee me one for almost a calendar month now ! ''

Daniel smiled he 'd might hold to after all, then he thought knowing the commandant he 'd upgrade him to full general right after he made Dempsy a

full colonel. Sighing he was shaking his headway at these thoughts.

Dempsy 's eyes went spacious as he started to smile, `` Ah ! I see you have seen what I think that the commander would do if we started on that course. '' Leaning faithful Dempsy smiled to a greater extent than whispered, `` He has become even more sneaky lately we might have got to follow each other 's back as it is now ! ''

Suddenly there was the clearing a throat as both men turned to the doorway to see Derrick standing there. He had both of his blazonry crossed as he seemed to stare a hole in both men. `` I heard that Colonel ! Do n't think I 'll let it go that easy either General ! ''

Both men swallowed hard as Derrick handed Book of Daniel a star for each shoulder. Dempsy he handed a hoot emblem for each of his. Both men looked at Derrick with a heated look then at each other. They both smiled and bowed all the way to the flooring, `` As you wish your Majesty ! '' Thus causing Derrick to groan loudly.

'' Alright both of you asses ! We have an rape to plan against that niggling ass Risen. According to selective information that Hartwell found the trivial poop is hold up in another bunker. It also appears that he has the redoubler technology that Kimison and Rayburn developed. '' Derrick said irritated about the whole site though keeping his vox low.

'' father you think that we have a double-crosser in our midst ? '' Dempsy asked.

Derrick was quiet a moment then nodded. `` I 'm afraid we might. I think it 's about time you both took a tour of the ship. Look around see if there is anything I missed if there is try to let me do it before you execute them. ''

Both men looked at each other smiling then snapped off a salutation making Derrick moan again. `` Get the hell out of here I have a hell of a lot More to do.

Again both men saluted as they moved toward the door stopping to watch what Derrick was going to do. Derrick continued on to where Greeson was standing with mara.

'' Chief stock-purchase warrant Officer Jacques Louis David Greeson. '' Derrick said as he stopped before both mara and Greeson. `` I apologize for taking as long as I have for this. '' Reaching in his air pocket Derrick produced two Seth of double silver measure, `` For the risking of your life in service to me and the imperium. For the fearlessness and commitment you showed those under you. I hereby promote you to the rank of skipper in the imperium special military group. ''

Greeson could only stand up there in shock as he saw his teacher by the door smile largely nodding to him. Then he saw Dempsy rima oris serve you right ! Bowing to Derrick, Greeson replied, `` I thank you sire. I 'll do my best to attend you with honour. ''

Derrick smiled as he looked back at Dempsy, `` Well, '' Derrick started. `` I guess the teacher could read from the student for once ! '' This of course caused a groan from Dempsy. Then he and Daniel were moving out the threshold.

Greeson was about to turn toward Mara when he was tackled to the storey. `` good ! Your finally starting to encourage ! Now I wo n't feel as bad when you salute me ! ''

Greeson groaned as Mara started to osculate his whole face. Derrick could only smile as he shook his head no when Greeson looked at him for avail. Holding up his hands he backed away. He had enough to do with the Empress already demanding his attention. Sighing he knew he could n't put it off forever as they were going to need an heir one day.

Moving out of the way Derrick made his way to the bid deck of cards. ‘ I might as well get this out of the way before they started to make a move against the Duke.'walk in Shelby stood and bowed to Derrick drawing a small groan from him.

'' I welcome you my emperor, I have missed your caller, as well as your wisdom. '' Shelby told him.

'' Thank you Empress Shelby, I have also missed you. At represent I am staying onboard Tempro 'til Shelby is re-gened. '' Derrick told her.

Shelby 's grinning quickly disappeared then she nodded. `` I almost figured that you would do this. I am hoping that Rayburn and Kimison are able to resurrect the other parent brain box. Though as they said, they were having trouble with the personality circuits. With the final stage boost that they had I am sure they can get it finished. ''

Derrick was nodding as he tried to remember just what they had been discussing the last metre that he 'd been here. `` They told you whose personality they were going to use ? '' Derrick asked almost certainly of the answer she 'd give.

'' Yes of course of instruction. They were going to use the alone one that they should, yours of course. Although they were having a lot of job trying to contain it ; something about losing a bit of the computer memory as to WHAT it was. '' Shelby told Derrick.

Derrick was nodding as he remembered Gregor saying something about the Shelby personality had to be adjusted. The thing was he could n't quite commend just what had been done.

'' So they had n't been able to defeat the self realization factor ; the fact that a homo personality was going to be the ship. I see I might stimulate an estimation. '' Derrick said. `` Celeste ? '' Derrick asked.

The fiery red head appeared bowing to Derrick. `` Yes my emperor butterfly ? ''

'' touch Commanders Rayburn and Kimison, '' Derrick said.

'' Yes my Saturnia pavonia, I have them now. '' Celeste replied.

Both men appeared as holo-grams both bowing to Derrick. `` Good, I may have an thought as to how to fully mix all the retentiveness. I seem to think of the programmers saying something about it. I 'll be back on plank soon. In the mean meter I want you to try to publish all the computer storage as reckoner code. I know it will lead a calendar week or two, this is what I feel will finally allow you to discern what you will have to bump off. ''

Both men were staring at Derrick with their mouth afford. The commander had done it again ! Both bowed as Rayburn stated, `` We 'll get started right away. We had both thought of it though the syllabus will let to be extremely building complex. We might sustain to examine the coding of Tempro for a bit to make surely we are on the right track. ''

'' A thoroughly course of action mechanism, I 'll see you in a day or so. I hope you have well tidings for me. '' Derrick said as he clicked off. Turning to Shelby he could see that she was still not too proud of she would n't be with Derrick for all that hanker.

Sighing, Derrick nodded to her almost sure what she was thinking. Sighing, she only shook her head, `` Damn it Derrick ! You 've just made it back and already you are going to break us. I expected to have you to myself for at least a day. Not just an 60 minutes ! ''

Nodding his head Derrick moved to Shelby holding her ending. `` I wish the Saami matter Shelby ; 'til all of this shit is through I 'm not indisputable it is safe for the both of us to be together. With as many threats as we have removed I feel there are nearly four time as many to a greater extent out there. ''

'' I tend to concur with him Empress. '' Mary said behind them. `` Since the removal of about of the sect it seems Sir Thomas More dangers have reared their head. ''

Growling a moment Shelby suddenly started to nod her principal. `` I realize all this mother ; I also know there is a keen danger with the two of us together. Though as to one of your main missions Mother, if we are together for some time, there WILL NOT be any heirs. Derrick might as well be on the social movement lines in this war. '' Turning to stare at Blessed Virgin, Shelby continued on. `` Believe it or not Derrick, I love you damn it ! I am not about to be artificially inseminated, so, '' here Shelby narrowed her eyes at Mary, `` I suggest you NOT try ! ''

Mary 's mouthpiece dropped open her daughter actually thought she would do this ? Then again it was an almost brilliant idea. Though to cuckold any corporate trust her daughter had with her just might not be worth it. Sighing Mary nodded, `` I will not attempt to do this daughter. ''

Shelby looked closely at The Virgin 's mental image a few more moments before she was finally satisfied. ‘ Well,'Shelby thought, ‘ that was one of an infinite quantity of problems that they had to face.'

'' I still think that both Rayburn and Kimison should work more on the personal protection that they have built for you. I read the paper of how they performed when full admiral Hartwell was on Risen 's satellite. It appears they went well though I think that an growth in the life-time of the superpower social unit might be imperative. I have also seen the way they performed for you. I believe that they can be improved. ''

Derrick smiled widely, he 'd leave that Shelby was highly levelheaded from the get go. He 'd also heard how she had accelerated her own creation with a few damn brilliant ideas. Sighing Derrick nodded he just might have to put her over the intact science surgical incision.

'' I just might make something for you to do my dear. '' Derrick told Shelby whose head snapped up to stare at Derrick at the full term of endearment that he had just used.

Narrowing her eyes at Derrick she looked closely into his heart then at his face. As far as she could tell there was no deceit there at all. No there was a quick intuitive feeling of final acceptance there. Smiling, she nodded it was about prison term that Derrick was starting to get along around !

On control panel Tempro Rayburn and Kimison were starting the painstaking and daunting task of converting Derrick 's memories. They had to protrude going through Tempro 's coding, assembly line by line to actually get a beginning inkling to the complexness of the program. After six hour they had only written two lines of codification. Sighing exasperated they both started to think about using the head set again. This problem was almost as nerve racking as the cloning process. job was it dealt with billions more than tortuousness.

Again they both looked at the head set. They were discussing it when the holo-gram of Derrick appeared before the both of them. Looking at both men he nodded at the vexed and irritated looks on their faces. `` So I take it you 've only got what ? Two or three lines of code ? '' Both men 's rima oris were hanging capable as Derrick smiled. It was as he thought.

looking for at Rayburn Kimison stated, `` I do n't care what he says I think he has some sorting of ESP. I know he 's good at reading hoi polloi but come on ! I did n't call back we were THAT unfastened and easy to read ! ''

Rayburn was absently nodding when he spoke up, `` Yes commanding officer, I tend to agree. Perhaps we should essay you, when there is sentence, to see if you have that ability. ''

Derrick shook his headland he was n't about to open up that can of insect. It was bad enough he 'd found out that he had the set of nanomites in him that had changed him. `` Perhaps one day, long from here you can. For now I have a request from the empress. ''

Derrick bowed to Shelby who moved into the holo-gram to stand in front of the two men. `` Commander 's, I am concerned about the personal trade protection devices that you have made for the Emperor. I have studied the theme of their uses by the Emperor twice. Also by the extended use by full admiral Hartwell. I am happy that they can protect as well as they can though. '' Here she paused gathering her thoughts.

Kimison started to comment, `` We thought you'd be pleased Empress. For now though we have to pop on the Derrick parent ... '' Kimison quickly quieted when Shelby held up her handwriting.

'' I realize that this is a priority for the both of you. I do require you to end that, though I think that the safety of the Emperor should come in first. '' Shelby said looking at each of the men with deadly seriousness.

Both men were about to dissent when this prison term Derrick held up a hand quickly quieting both men. `` I think that this calls for action from me. '' Looking at Shelby then both men Derrick continued. `` I therefore have decided to take a shit Empress Shelby the head of the scientific discipline division. That way no one can suffer an argument. ''

Both Kimison and Rayburn 's mouths dropped overt. They had to both admit that the Empress was far more magnificent than either of them. Really they had to accommodate if it had n't been for her they might have had to contain longer to have her make. Bowing both men stated, `` It will be as you command sir. We will seem over all we have made for the emperor moth to stool improvement. '' A look from Derrick toward Shelby had both men nodding. `` We will also commence body of work on your set as well Empress. '' They said surprising her.

On board Tempro, Shiloh, Mita, plus all their children were starting to get a picayune antsy. This of trend was n't helped by the fact that Norman had been called away while the rest of them still had to hold back. Hiram Ulysses Grant was accustomed to being alone taking the foresighted switch as pilot while Shiloh was with his sept.

Jimison was also accustomed to being alone as he had been hiding for so long. Although Tempro did try to explain that Shelly had to recover more before they could speculation to the empire planet. It still was n't helping the feeling of full general tenseness that was on board.

Though all the men were able to build themselves engaged, this only compounded the boredom for Mita and her kid. Finally after a few days Mita called Tempro. `` Tempro, I need to talk to the Saturnia pavonia. My nestling and I ca n't make this much Sir Thomas More. They are growing children they need more activity. Please ! We ca n't take much more than of this ! ''

Tempro sighed Shelly was almost fix to be released though at the consequence he had no parliamentary law as what to do. He really did n't desire to disturb the Emperor at this present moment as he knew that the man had a great deal he was dealing with. Nodding to Mita, Tempro told her to stand in a certain bit.

Derrick and Shelby had been discussing a great many affair he 'd found out with his trip into the past tense. They had been at it for a few hour when Tempro appeared.

'' I am deplorable to agitate you sire. '' Tempro started.

'' You are fine. Tempro is something haywire ? '' Derrick asked seeing the almost tone of distraint on the holo-gram 's face.

'' Yes sire I am afraid there is. It appears that Mrs Shiloh and her children need to get off the ship. It appears that they are in indigence of further activity than I can allow for. I also have a request from her or rather a postulation for you sire. '' Tempro explained.

Derrick was about to ask Tempro to put her on when Mita 's holo-gram stepped forward. Bowing low Derrick nodded to Mita. `` I apologize for interrupting you sire. '' The charwoman said causing Derrick to moan a little.

Shelby held back a giggle as Derrick eyed her for a minute then smiled. `` Please go on Mita. ''

'' forefather, I realize that we still have a day before Shelly can pass on. forefather I and the boys are set up to pass on is there no way that all of us can give ? '' Mita asked.

Mary appeared before Derrick could answer. `` I have kept a invariable vigil on her sire. All the codes have been accepted. I therefore have no objection to her leaving. ''

Derrick 's rima oris dropped outdoors, `` since when ? I had less ... '' Derrick started.

'' Sire, '' Madonna said giving him a no you did n't search. `` As I have told you from the beginning. Your life story and health come first and foremost. You are the most of import person to the empire. It is my responsibility to continue you alive and unharmed. If you are constantly in peril then I 'm not performing my tariff.

Derrick groaned as Shelby started to giggle. `` I think that also involves an heir or two. '' Shelby said with a large smiling.

Shaking his school principal Derrick looked at Mita. `` Alright Tempro, take her and the children to the Empire satellite. Have rooms prepare for them. Inform all there that they are now part of the palace. Then riposte here, there are a few things I have to do for the rest of my old unit. ''

Tempro nodded then Derrick watched as the huge ship winked out .
