Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his mouth hanging assailable there was no way in hell that he was going to think that O'Toma was emperor.
Shaking his point he had to sit, almost as if by magic a seat appeared under him.

'' I 'm regretful I am finding this a little too hard to swallow. '' That was when Hartwell started to laugh.
'' It 's a good one I have to accept, now then, I really need to meet or speak to the man. The genius, that brought about the capture of over 100 pirate ships, near the old ship K. ``

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

Blessed Virgin appeared a present moment later.
'' Rear Admiral Hartwell, '' she stated. `` Do you by chance spot me ? ``

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

`` Very good sir, what you may not know is that I was given the power to enact all imperial beard authorisation, in all imperial matters. The most important in the last 2 century was finding mortal from this man 's family. ''
Laughing a bit she continued, `` In this case he actually found us. I was the one who sent the test copy that the next Saturnia pavonia had been found. Though I am certainly you noticed I left his name off ? That was to protect what was left of his family. I am the entirely one who can declare 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 Inferno out of command ? You almost gave me a coronary thrombosis with that first then the second base message, horseshit ; I thought we were toast after that 2nd one. '' Shaking his heading, `` When did you get that brilliant ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' well I had service, '' 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 empire 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 incorrect with them. '' Derrick said shake up that he finally had a human he could actually trust.

Sighing Hartwell looked away binge filling his eyes, `` Of the nine that were left only 5 of us are still alert. Shilo and Grant were killed in a conveyance accident, the unit ship was lost. Jimison was killed trying to stop a robbery. Norman, '' here Hartwell sighed even harder, `` was blown out of a crosshatch ; he 'd managed to save 15 people that were trapped. He heard the crosshatch failing and shoved them into life sentence boat capsule, he 'd just managed to get it shut and secured when the crosshatch went. ''

Even bigger tears were in his eye, `` He was a hero ! They said it was his faulting, he was n't even there, he was on the other side of the ship when the call option came out. The illegitimate blamed their own incompetence on him ; I have tried to reopen the causa for 2 years now. The chairwoman was part owner so it was swept under the rug ! ''

Derrick growled Norman had been the respectable of his unit, strong and capable with a moral codification that was second only to Derrick 's own.

Derrick sat there a moment waiting for Hartwell to calm, then Derrick spoke, `` There will be DoJ for them, I 'll realise sure of that, if it 's the last thing I do, there will be justice 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, Thomas, Rayburn, and Kimison ? '' Derrick asked though he was n't too sure he was going to be felicitous with the answer.

'' Dempsy is still as tough as he was back then, he joined the commando with me. He 's turned down a commission more times than I want to accommodate, he still says that you and I were born drawing card and he was more happy following than he is leading.
As for the others, let 's see the terminal I heard Lowell Thomas went into the salvage business, damn good pilot light from what I hear. Rayburn settled down on a far pioneer world on the Galatic rim doing pretty honorable the last time I saw him. '' Here Hartwell stopped a face of anger on his face, `` They shoved Kimison into a old hand 's recovery mall, more like a dim end pit, half of the people staffing the lieu do n't wish. The other half looks the early way. I pay for him, he saved my life history more than a few meter, I owe him that plus a hale lot more. It 's the but cause he his address and tended as well.

Derrick growled, he 'd seen those supposed veteran's center field he had to agree they were death perdition, really not even worthy of dying in. Between clenched dentition Derrick said, `` I will have him out of there as soon as I can, I owe him quite a bit myself, and I intend to rejoin him. ''

Here Derrick slammed his fist down on the table in forepart of him. `` I 'm going to call for your license to remove him ; I need you to radio me on this relative frequency when you sign the report. '' Hartwell nodded the look of surprise then pride in his eyes spoke volumes of what he thought of Derrick 's plan.
Virgin Mary had been standing nearby taking in everything that Derrick had said. Everything would make it that much well-situated when she entered his mind to aid authorise the rest of the distraint that she felt was still there.

'' father, '' Mary spoke up a moment later, `` I know that you trust the tail admiral, but as per your plan, do you wish him to be released with the cognition of just who you are ? As you yourself advised me you are still worried about your kin. At nowadays I have only been able to land 2 watch in abrir oculta, at present there is no threat though I am afraid that will change when who the Saturnia pavonia is, is known. ``

`` Yes I know, but to do any type of remembering closure might look as if he were tampered with while he was here. ''

Derrick sat for a few here and now thinking on the problem, `` Blessed Virgin, Shelby, the brain wipe/ blocker can it be adjusted to overstate the strength of the mind ? To reach it almost impossible to break into the mind without the equipment we have here ? ``

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

'' I concur, though I do have a device that can decrease that sentence by 12 60 minutes, '' The Virgin smiled sweetly.

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

'' Do n't worry I 've used this numerous prison term, you 'll be prophylactic. '' Blessed Virgin told a now shaking Hartwell.

Looking over at Derrick Hartwell was n't too sure, `` It 's ok believe me, you are a close ally of mine that puts you in an extremely rare office to Mary and to me. Just to let you acknowledge, you are the outset and for now the only person to know who and what I am. '' Derrick told him.

Chief Joseph Hartwell 's chest of drawers swelled, his old air force officer was trusting him with this, then he looked at the small device that appeared on the board future to him. `` Alright air force officer if you trust it, then I guess I will also. ``

Sighing Derrick picked up the gimmick feeding into a slot on the console.
'' I am good-for-nothing if we have panicked you, it 's either this or we do a memory wipe and replacement on you and really ? I prefer this to anything else, this way I have an friend out there that can help me with later ... matter. '' Derrick said as something on a console drew his attention, nodding his head he pulled up a eyeshot of a man in an engine way.

Confused only a moment Derrick looked back at Hartwell with a smile.
'' I see Dempsy up to no soundly as usual, '' Derrick said a huge smile on his boldness. `` You think we can get him without alerting the relief of the flank ?

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

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

In a color voice Derrick said, `` Crewman Dempsy that had better not be an illegal alcoholic motorcar I see you making there in that creeping way ! ``

Dempsy 's lip opened, what the hell ? Looking around he decided someone in the crew was messing with him.
smiling Derrick opened the canal again, `` so Demples you going to dismiss me again huh ? You want another 5 Clarence Shepard Day Jr. off the liquor ? ``

This sentence Dempsy 's eyes 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 confusion on Dempsy 's face.

'' I do n't get ... '' there was a newsflash and Dempsy was laying at Hartwell 's feet, `` ... the clip ... to come .... '' Looking around Dempsy jumped to his feet and saluted Hartwell. `` I 'm dreary sir I did n't have intercourse it was you ! ``

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

Dempsy was staring at various of the machines and instrument panel, silent for a moment he whispered, `` This is incredible, I 've only read about the things I am seeing here. None of this has existed for over 800 years ! 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 spokesperson still disguised.

Dempsy nodded still almost in a trance, then a visible radiation seemed to go off in his head. `` Hey wait ! There were only 3 people that knew about the ignoring and dared to telephone me Demples. I had good rationality to push aside command ! One is here, one is on the Galactic rim, the utmost no one has heard ... from ... in, Commander ? '' This terminal whispered in awe.

session forward Derrick smiled, `` long 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 build up up pressure. I am afraid detonation is imminent. ``

'' Alright send a pulse and close it down, vent as very much press as you can, I believe it uses a tri-switch ? '' Dempsy could only nod staring at Shelby.

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

'' My god was that a three-dimensional image ? An encoding of the light field of force as an interference form of seemingly random mutation in the opacity, density, or the airfoil profile of the photographic medium ? '' Dempsy whispered.

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

Dempsy 's sassing dropped surface, though he was n't sure what had him more in shock the hologram, the scheme on this ship, or the fact that the commandant was back and actually understood what he was talking about ! Standing up straightforward Dempsy snapped off a salute, `` Sorry commandant as I said before I did n't know it was you. I 'm sorry I had heard that you had passed, '' smiling Dempsy said, `` should have known you were too strong-armer to be taken out that easy. ''

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

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

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

Derrick and Hartwell started to chuckle, will it to Dempsy to get over charge up about technology. They both watched as he tentatively reached out and touched a venire here, a screen there. A bit later he walked up to Derrick and asked, `` commandant sir ? Anyway I could stay here, ... forever ? ``

Only a half smiling on his fount Derrick turned back to Hartwell before he answered. `` Fraid not Dempsy, the Rangers would start up looking for you if you just up and disappeared. ``

Dempsy turned to see at Hartwell, `` I could subscribe to an go leave, then not come back. ''

Hartwell smirked at Dempsy, `` Now you know that the Rangers would set out an investigation the moment you were a few minutes late coming back. I do n't think you want the stallion fleet looking for you, at least not 'til the air force officer and the Ranger are more constituted together. ``

Derrick smiled prominent seeing that Dempsy was about to start whining. `` It 's alright Dempsy you 'll get you hazard to play later. Right now I need to adjust both of your brains 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 strengthen your cognitive ability, making it harder to deep scan and withdraw information. '' Derrick stated after a moment.

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

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

Dempsy 's mouth dropped open as he started to back away from Derrick and Hartwell, `` bet my brain is o.k. like it is. ``

'' I said that MIGHT still be an option knowing your psyche you 'll love it, '' Derrick said smiling.

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

Shelby appeared side by side to Dempsy a wide smile plastered to her look, `` sir, '' she said, `` it is completely prophylactic I have used it many times in the past 800 long time, besides I have scanned you brain already and found that nothing extra will have to be done. Neither will I have to delete anything from you. ``

Dempsy breathed a sigh of rest period, `` Why did n't you say that in the first office ? ``
Derrick just shook his heading god he really had missed Dempsy.
Half an hour later both men were finished with their operation, Derrick gave both a communicator to shout out them later.

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

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

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

Turning a warp spokesperson spoke, `` We thank you stern admiral Hartwell we will be in ghost. Also to the young man at the skill station, please discontinue attempting to glance over for us, thank you. '' With that the screen went blank as respective started at it and Hartwell with open mouths. Sitting down Hartwell started in on his report.

Introductory confluence and greeting
Report 115-001-RSFW-004
fire warden limited forcefulness Wing-001
nates Admiral Joesph Hartwell, commanding

After meeting with the new Saturnia pavonia as per orders from bid and extending our hand in friendly relationship,
it is this police officer 's belief that said salute was well received. The new emperor moth who as of yet will not
reveal his name at demonstrate feels confident that the Rangers and the Empire will be capable to shape an
alliance that should be good to all.

Though unknown to this police officer, the emperor moth appears to be a fair and compassionate man. The sum
of news the man showed was indeed formidable the few arrangement I saw on board his vas make
the Rangers pale in comparison. He has left a way to pass with him the next sentence we wish to.

It is the opinion of this officer that the emperor butterfly is indeed who he says he is. It is this military officer 's honorable
judgment that dictation has made the better decision in all phase of their dealings with this individual.
At present I have no further recommendations to present.

There he thought that ought to throw them off for a while, and perhaps give way me time to set about the early things I need to, Hartwell thought. On instrument panel the survive ship Dempsy smiled holding onto the minuscule device that Shelby had given him, damn if it did n't give the strong drink a hell of a lot sander ! hellhole according to her it was 100 fourth dimension safer too, hell yeah ! Rubbing his chin Dempsy thought a moment now if there was a way to move it to his bunk that would really help !

Derrick could almost see the ideas that Dempsy had churning through his brain, maybe it had n't been a good idea to separate Shelby to fall in him the purifier/distiller. Derrick started to laugh when Dempsy took a drink and started to cough from the much more virtuous hard liquor. HA ! Derrick thought teach you to not examine it first !

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

Derrick rushed to a dialog box reading the signaling they had received, `` Alright Shelby, let 's get this one rightfield now ! ''
Derrick said pointing to a level on the cover. `` The other we 'll get as soon as the first is secure. Conner, Zan I want you to stay here and stay fresh an eye on the commonwealth fleet I still do n't have a lot of combine of them. ''

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

'' The Einstein box is in excellent shape, though as I feared the power within is extremely weak. '' Shelby told him.

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

'' Yes Derrick, '' an emotional Shelby said. `` All secure commencing Trans-warp to endorse Reading. ``

Stopping within scanning scope Derrick wanted to construct certain about the bit box. The recitation he 'd arrest had indicated that something was n't quite right about it. They 'd been there perhaps an hr when Derrick looked up from the screen with a grim cheek. `` Shelby I do n't know if it 's possible for us to get this one. Even with you IMT the separation is almost inconceivable. It appears that this gimmick is bonded at a molecular story, your IMT is very, very precise but without a more unassailable focal distributor point I 'm not surely we can safely batten this one. ``

The Virgin and Shelby both appeared a moment later, `` As a lot as I wish to disagree with you I must coincide. Though forefather if I remember right you were working on a molecular specialisation twist, not long after the explosive device that you removed from Zan. '' The Virgin told him.

'' Yes but I gave that up because at the molecular level everything started to look More and to a greater extent the same. '' Derrick sadly stated.

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

'' Make a billet of the position when we are better prepared we can return and retrieve it. '' Derrick said, Virgin Mary only nodded she could tell that Shelby was n't felicitous about leaving one of her kid out here alone for longer than necessary.

Derrick decided that a few Sir Thomas More minute was n't going to offend, taking reading material Derrick worked furiously at the console. Adjusting almost as fasting as his finger's breadth could he started to get a best idea about the adherence of the gimmick, not all that unlike from that which was on the astral 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 Madonna and Shelby he was n't sure enough Virgin Mary would let him attempt such a rescue again. Sighing he had to have Sir Thomas More solidness facts and solution than he did last clip or there would be no going after the box. Derrick knew that stopping point metre he had been close but 1 trouble 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 empire or the possibility 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 bring together them. Derrick started to make for non-stop trying to adjust the molecular enhancer, finally 2 twenty-four hours later Derrick could see that the pattern of the device and the box could be separated. The only problem he could see was the locating of the enhancers, too close the electric charge went off, not close adequate and the guardianship would come with the box destroying the ship it was transported into. Sleep deprived, jade beyond opinion Derrick tried to push even harder finally getting the first prototype finished though he had to test it first. By the end of the third day Mary had been calling Derrick for 2 days, Derrick finally hearing her was advised that the fleet of Republic ships were pledging to Derrick except for about 100.

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

'' Uh, '' He started, `` I 'm having job processing lots beyond this right now if they are hurting people 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.

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

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

'' Now then, '' Madonna started again, `` I am authorized to appropriate you to turn your selves in, minimal sentences and no other punishment. The choice you saw, branded as opposition of the imperium you will be hunted the quietus of your lives.
I 'll give you an hour to resolve then I will get penalisation. ``

looking at in on Derrick Madonna took Shelby aside, `` Shelby I am detecting that he is on the scepter of collapse, he needs to pillow. ``

'' I realize this The Virgin but I have seen him like this before it is almost useless unless we stun him. I 'm not sure I am prepared to confront his ire. '' Shelby told Mary awe apparent on her face.

Smiling Mary told Shelby not to worry then walked into where Derrick was working.

`` forefather, '' Mary started, `` Unless you rest starting in 30 seconds under royal authorization I will stupefy and cumber you 'til such time as you have recovered. ``

Derrick looked up from the twist on the bench, `` You would n't defy ! '' He said.

'' Sire it is my main job to protect you this includes from yourself. Now then cease and desist or I 'll be forced under the authorization to take action. '' Mary replied.

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

Sighing Mary over rode several systems on the ship, two small electrodes came out of the wall, Derrick saw them and still ignored them. Sighing again Mary told him, `` Last time sire or you 'll impel me to subscribe to natural process. '' Sighing again there was a modest whine then both electrodes were experience as was the charge that shot out of them.

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

Shelby and Mary had mechanical subdivision lifting Derrick's unconscious body and lightly depositing him in his make-shift bed. `` If he awakes and still has low recitation advise me immediately, we have to puddle sure he stays healthy. '' The Virgin told Shelby.

Madonna was back on the Imperial major planet the time was almost up for the answers from the now 99 ships that had been causing bother. Though she was also keeping an eye on Derrick she had to experience things fix for him.

After confirming all the ships fall, Mary went back to the ship to watch Derrick.

'' Shelby, '' Madonna started, `` while he is in this state we should polish off what you started in his mind. ``

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

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

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

Derrick almost completely immobile, Virgin Mary also reached out grabbing Derrick 's head. Screaming he began to flail away trying to break dislodge of the two women that had an almost death grip on him.

'' Let me go if you destroy this place he will never be secure again, you have to stop. I 'll kill you both for this, you think he loves you ? You think he trusts you ? Get existent ! Oh that 's proper you are n't ! '' An almost malign laugh escaped his lip as he tried harder and harder to get sluttish.

Finally with one lastly riot, 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 recession palpitation, terrified to be active.

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