Derrick was moving through the access way toward the principal section of the shipyard. Ahead to his mighty Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. Sergeant foremost stratum Book of Daniel Jessye Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a measure patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to accept them quietly no haphazardness. Shaking his brain 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 racket.
Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the thick security threshold. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the door clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.
Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to broadcast out looking for any more guards. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the berth that was here. Apparently the ship thousand had been infiltrated by some really bad characters. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an plosion on the transport as it moved away from the ship yard.
Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hall. So far the CAT scan had indicated XXX men that were here, well 20 eight now. All the reports had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the coordination compound Derrick almost growled when he saw that their foeman had tripled their guards. ‘ 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 agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the last two or three might set off the consternation. Sorry commandant. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the hoi polloi from the shipping were being held. A bare ten moment later they were well inside about to spend a penny a relocation when an alarm went off.
'' What 's with all the damn haphazardness ? '' A large man with several cicatrix on his onetime face snarled into his com.
'' Found the outer near sentry go dead sir, '' came the voice of a unseasoned sounding man.
'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the son of a bitch ! Leave three here with me, ought to be enough to insure these scared pansies. '' The obvious loss leader was yelling into the com.
Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the rachis of the wall picking their perspective. Taking a abstruse breath Derrick knew that this future part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the elbow room.
'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the paries.
All four of the pirate ship whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The older scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're idle you piece of red cent ! ''
hurry toward the wall, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to cry then the com. was flying across the room with a hole in it. A moment later the third gear of the men went down.
Grabbing one of the females in the elbow room the man shouted to the air placing a skanky knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's abruptly whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one commission as the man was falling back with a hole in the side of his head.
Derrick ran out to gibe on Shiloh and subsidisation. `` police lieutenant battle of Shiloh, Warrant Hiram Ulysses Grant can you both stand ? ''
Both men looked up at Derrick with both their lip hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''
Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to take in company. I want you and Grant to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.
Ulysses Grant snapped to attention as did Shiloh. `` testament do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open rampart.
Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the paries himself moving to a in effect emplacement. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no subsister ! ''
'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim reply.
'' Happy to clean up the filth. '' Norman said with a smile.
The next ten minutes 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 targets the final exam few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by respective well placed guesswork.
A auditory sensation Derrick had n't heard in a hanker time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the duct.
'' commanding officer ? '' Came the articulation of Shiloh.
'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.
'' Just wanted to let you eff that we are secure. The wife and four tike were well hidden so they were secure. '' Shiloh replied.
'' married woman and four children ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd wish to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. curse it ! Why in the nether region 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 wolf like he was.
'' Sure Commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to re-start the plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.
'' Oh, good then I 'll get to get together all of them. '' Derrick said through stringent drawn lips. `` At to the lowest degree I hope I get to fulfill all of them. ''
'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to meet the man she says kept me alive to follow back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.
'' well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a suggestion of laughter in his phonation. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly dingy as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so little 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 underworld breaks loose. I really do n't want to be here when the Texas Ranger arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get straighten out enough. Unfortunately the ripalon push prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``
'' Are we in danger air force officer ? '' Jimison asked.
'' No I do n't think so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.
'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just save them all ? '' Norman said with a dour face.
'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep on it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my yesteryear. No I have to keep open thing as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's family line. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd detest me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.
Both men nodded with with child heart 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 forefather, they are functioning at optimal efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's persuasion.
[ `` dear air them now. ] Derrick replied. On a hold over side by side to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic pieces appeared. [ `` orbit, '' ] Derrick asked.
[ `` I can get a clear-cut signaling for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely plenty distance to render minimal damage. '' ] Tempro answered.
Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's fry, and then a slender Asian looking adult female walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.
'' I am so gladiolus to finally conform to 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 womanhood. Now he could see why Gunter battle of Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the next few hours are n't too lots of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hired hand of the sixteen and xiv year old sons of the woman. A ten class old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.
Derrick shook his point there was no way he could ever detest any of these materialization of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the male on the back as he moved toward where battle of Pittsburgh Landing and Grant were in the command of the ship.
Both men stood to present Derrick as he came in. `` sword lily to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.
Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an hr. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''
'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised feel.
'' I know when more than one injection is taken sir. Especially when the drawing card went down. Two barb from two different focusing. inferno if I did n't know better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his headspring. `` I know that 's inconceivable as they both are dead. ''
It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alive and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a part of myself ripped away when I found out. ''
Both Grant and battle of Pittsburgh Landing were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm sword lily you got to meet the family. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told Derrick.
'' Yes, you have some alright male child deputy. '' Derrick told him.
Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you cogitate of trivial Shelly ? ''
'' Shelly ? I did n't meet a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four tike when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.
Shiloh 's eyes got wide then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You better not be in the blood plasma reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''
'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our itinerary crossing again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breathing space. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to contain him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]
[ Yes forefather. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are clear. '' ] Tempro replied.
[ `` Alright leaving now. Start 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 assume a moment ; do you really throw to go ? ''
Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Shiloh standing to his full moon six fundament two column inch height. `` I 'll meet her one day police lieutenant, I suggest no affair what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little daughter tight, very pixilated understand ? ''
Shiloh nodded a look of surprise and worry on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying past Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor elbow 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 cabalistic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the nuclear reactor room watching the engineer.
His manus on his rosehip he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head teacher she gulped a bit at the aspect on her Father of the Church 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in problem ? ''
'' Not as much as when your female parent finds out young lady ! '' battle of Shiloh told her with a grim look on his cheek that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to induce battle of Pittsburgh Landing to jape. He knew all her fast one though he was n't resistant to all of them.
'' Are you going to severalize mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her father.
'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a upright thing to hold over your head do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small-scale smiling small grinning on his lips.
'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.
battle of Pittsburgh Landing was shaking his mind as he touched the black curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' battle of Shiloh said with his hand on his mentum. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your lexicon and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a simple kid ! seed on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to will. ''
They were walking toward the berthing area when the air force officer 's last run-in came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the adjacent few hours. You hold that lilliputian daughter tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't throw off the look that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a happenstance that the Commander had shown up.
Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control room Mika. ''
'' I thought you did n't allow her in there. '' Came her reply.
'' Usually I would n't, but I got a unusual feeling. I have n't had one like this in a prospicient clip conclusion clock 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 hear almost care in your voice ! '' She replied.
'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.
'' Alright but hold her tight hon. '' Mika told him.
Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startle looking at. Almost the same thing that the Commander had said !
Making his way to the mastery room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the subprogram to undock then depart.
'' tier look right, all hachure closed, all stamp skilful. No severance, no loss of aura. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' Grant told him.
battle of Pittsburgh Landing was about to spark the engines when he noticed they were still a small close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put more than a mere thousand kilometre between us and the post. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''
'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown free energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no striking. '' Grant told him.
Something was nagging at battle of Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the station. The vitality he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger command. This is transport R-00101. Do you take me Ranger instruction ? ''
A consequence later there was a crepitation as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repeat you -- - -- - high -- -- - area. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signal.
'' bidding we we 're attacked by pirate. Please send help to old quad K OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` bullshit ca n't seem to get through. guesswork we need to get further away. ''
Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine restraint battle of Pittsburgh Landing pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke relieve !
'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control condition chair. imprecate it he hated to wait like this ! `` meter ? ''
'' information says that the ship exploded five hour from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly produce its way further from the place. `` 4000 kilometre, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``
A minute later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.
'' I am having difficulty retrieving the shoemaker's last two ! forefather I am afraid I am going to lose them ! '' Tempro cried.
Derrick flew to the command input key board as he was typing truehearted than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlace your IMT with Tempro 's ''
'' Derrick that would cauterize my IMT out completely. It would need at least a workweek to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.
Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't lose 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 organization together. buddy I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred pct, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one thirty five. Now at one L. ''
'' I have them sire the step-up is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.
Derrick looked at Shelby as snag started to fall from her centre. `` I 'm gloomy Derrick I have no more. I can sense the system starting to go. ''
Derrick heard a removed explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you all right ? ''
'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system of rules has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my system. I 'm afraid I will have to regen for a clip. I 'm sorry I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with binge in her eyes then she vanished.
'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the story near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.
The missy struggled out of his sleeve as she started to cry then tried to heat her founder up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering again delight daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the slight daughter asked, `` Can you please aid my pop ? He 's hurt ! ''
Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little girl staring at the spot he 'd been in.
'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his face.
'' Of trend Mr, '' the little fille said as a foreign look came over her face. `` It 's a station for the care of the infirm, retch, or injured ; hospital or facility serving as a hospital. ''
Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the nestling. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew flavor were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please follow Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''
Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the early men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is daddy 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 pie-eyed then he was unruffled. 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, unusual indeed !
It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly prompt. A lilliputian girl 's giggle drew his attention to the former side of meat of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.
'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to stir up up ! '' Here the little missy threw her weapons system around the man as tears of joy started to fall from her eyes. `` I was so scared I was going to lose you ! ''
'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.
'' well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her face 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 centuries ago. '' A startled Gunter said.
'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find fourteen others. ''
'' air force officer ! Dear God it 's 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 heighten then struggle to get let loose. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few times myself. ''
'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.
'' I 'm fine daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in splendid 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 police lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hand through his visage 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 holographical agency of me. I am called Tempro the sustenance Artificial intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspiration as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.
'' Shelly please give up passing your hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.
Shelly suddenly stopped a foreign look and igniter in her eyes. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light theatre as an intervention practice of seemingly random variations in the opacity, concentration, or surface profile of the photographic medium. ''
Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the Whitney Young daughter. `` Yes I am miss Shelly. Do you have questions ? ''
Still with a unusual look on her look she asked, `` Are you generated via lens and laser ? ''
'' No Miss Shelly I am a forcing out contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the paradigm no matter what the light is in the room. I can be made with lens system and lasers though they are primitive and faulty. ''
Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a organization to provide you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining mastery of the ship. I fear though that with the current engineering that it might not be possible for a bit. ''
Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the petty girlfriend. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's middle got large. `` We have to get her to shut that surface area of her learning ability off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the first clip in a farsighted sentence. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.
'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the upset father on the bed.
'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's dad. derive back to me baby lady friend, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.
Softly at outset then they all saw the binge start from her oculus they heard. `` pa ? pop ? papa ! '' Suddenly the short lady friend was running to her father as she threw her arm around him. The only phone they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her Father-God '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 depth psychology of her. Find out if there is a way to help oneself her ... somehow. ''
Another threshold opened as grant walked in. `` You safe let his wife out soon or we 're going to sustain a BIG problem with that lilliputian woman. She damn near took my head off ! ''
'' She 's probably still pissed about the conclusion meter you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't allow for yet. ''
'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.
Grant snapped to tending then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or affair ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` dreary Tempro. ‘ cum in here to tell me to relax I am either going to violently bolt down them or put a fix in the wall.'Unquote. ''
'' Oh shit ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff and nonsense. ''
Derrick 's eyes got expectant as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. explain you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. Close off everything, straight here. ''
Tempro looked at the threshold then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''
A present moment later a rather furious Asiatic cleaning woman walked in with three male child. `` 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 wide eyed at the checkup room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to come up a way to assist Shelly.
Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the sole girl I have or will ever hold. I damned near expire having her I can never have tiddler again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him give thanks you as she went to her girl
