Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth heart-to-heart. They had a prisoner certainly, though a naked female person ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smiling came to his lips then he slapped his face. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the time to imagine about that !

Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.

Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to take the air in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit ! The female person was still naked !

'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.

'' Why ? She 's a female, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why bother with it. Since you 're here though, you can cover it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to simper at her pal. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can do by it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his straits as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, report ! ``

Johnathon appeared a consequence later, `` She was severely O deprived. She was also at the origin of the sterilization that the Tendrax the great unwashed are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen want might have caused. ``

'' commodity, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Yes, admiral prime ? '' Johnathon replied.

'' Do something about her not hold out dress. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his pharynx. Again he shook his head, he and the team had been through hell, horror men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new military recruit on the battle theatre of operations, pissing his bloomers. All because of a au naturel female ? Face it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.

Derrick was about to demand a drink when his wrist joint comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright full admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am disconsolate to agitate you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's wrong, did you have to drink down them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female. What in the hell do you ask me to do with a naked ... On 2d persuasion do n't resolve that. '' Hartwell said with a look of chagrin on his face.

'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.

'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a aliveness capsule with a brain box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a minor little girl and boy began to run rope around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The little lady friend was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only escape from his head.

'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.

The little girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mister squeamish man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the miss, she leaned into Derrick whispering. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.

Derrick could n't hold back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My dear Shelly, it is always a delight to see you. ''

A moment later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm sorry father, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``

Derrick gave Mika a huge grinning as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to receive all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, `` Still no Holy Writ on when Gunter gets back ? ``

Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to sustain another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the naming I gave him. ``

'' I really hope so sire. The boy and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, retrieve he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the vex woman. ‘ They better make it back alive, I do n't break my word and I do n't want to start now.'

Mika was nodding her headland, `` I just wish that there was n't all this privacy. ``

Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the foe we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to obliterate an embarrassed look on his grimace. `` At the portray time, I am afraid that it is necessary. ``

'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the time to come that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a determined look on her face.



At the sharpness of the Galaxy three minor craftiness suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard Earth. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to stay on course.

'' You know he 's going to down me if I ca n't get this dorsum to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the former two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that close song near the Tendrax home world. '' One of the former ship's resident replied.

'' Still they were n't as scary as the Cregons or those blame Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my boldness off because I did n't aggress him. '' The damaged ship man said.

'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a real number opinion. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want to pair with you ! '' The other ship occupier said.

'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male person I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.

'' I 'm not so for sure, '' the first ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' Savior ! You 're getting more than and more everlasting the closer to plate we get. feel, just let it drop and we 'll forget that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian pleasure craft. '' The damaged ship man replied.

'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having restraint table trouble ! '' The offset ship man said.

The second and damaged transport men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.

The first ship man started to curse when he saw the reading material. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a bigger stamp than you at number 1 thought. ``

'' Son of a kick ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. grant me a time frame for their insight of the astronomic boundary. ``

'' conformation, '' the simple A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At present speed they will penetrate the boundary of the galaxy within two calendar week, six days. At present scans unable to determine the identification number of ships. ``

'' Can you, with data provided, extrapolate the possible size of it of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an solution. At present, CAT scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown factors to consider with electric current data point. If this is a union challenge company than the number could be as high gear as L to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as forty thousand. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three unknown factors, what of the third ? '' The first shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the thirdly ingredient. If this is a war political party then the number could be as high as, one hundred thousand. '' The A.I. answered.

'' damn ! shit it ! All you had to do was make nice, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and damn near putting to death it ! '' The start ship man said.

'' We 're going to stimulate to break communicating silence. I do n't want to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The outset ship man said.

'' Neither do I. '' The mo ship man stated.

'' What ! ? You want me to face his anger ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to say him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.

With a suspiration the other two nodded as the first base opened a comm. `` Like it really matters, he 'd lie with they were coming in about a hebdomad anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an hour he tried to station a signaling to no service. Picking up what appeared to be a large fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive junk athletic field. Here at the back end of it there were existent recognizable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life planetary house at all.

All three of the males could only gaze with their oral cavity spread. The field had to be thousand of kilometre farsighted and wide. Just what in the inferno had been going on while they had been away ?

'' scan the portray debris field. Can you learn what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scans confirming indistinguishability of ship wreckage. All plane section that are intact indicate that they are remnants of a very gravid Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by high temperatures and thermic radiation syndrome. '' The A.I. informed the male.

'' Thermic ? Are there any stiff of EIG ships nowadays within the wreckage ? '' The male asked.

'' Affirmative, at acquaint, I am detecting the bearing of one hundred EIG biography capsules. Though none are active, they are all giving off indications that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many berths were empty when we went by there. They must get come after the EIGs hard if the EIGs used thermal weapons. Yeah, I think we ALL have to foretell him. Mad or not if he does n't fuck he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The first ship man said.

'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The second ship man said.

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to look at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon vitality detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon energy will have a degenerative effect to the standard particles causing failure within the system of rules. ``

All three of the male person looked at each former shaking their heads. No marvel they could n't communicate.

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp system ? '' The number 1 ship man asked.

'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp organisation is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely enlist the organization ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' At present focal ratio, six hours, twenty three minutes to cover the rubble champaign. Then another fifteen minutes to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of grade drew a groan from all three of the males. hoot, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an hour. Sighing all three started to reconcile in when they heard another set of alarm go off.

Looking over the interpretation all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life signs. They were faint, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't take time for this. '' The second ship man said.

Sighing the outset ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't recall I could exist with myself. ``

The other two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.



Hartwell was at his wits end, the female person was still unconscious, though all med scans said she was o.k.. Leaving her there he started for the bridge, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited cry from Thomas. `` admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the point in time of irritation.

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Seth Thomas to indorse away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't intend to piss in your breakfast, sir. '' doubting Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you consume to describe ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool down off.

'' I wanted to let you cognise, we have with child activity within that sphere where the shield is. '' Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

Hartwell nodded as he thought a moment. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A mo later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's planet. `` Alright show me. ``

Thomas nodded as a topographic map appeared between them. Pointing Lowell Thomas stated, `` all indications are, that cloggy machinery is being located just outside this clearing. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking version within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to find out. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the field closer. tinker's damn, if he did n't get laid, that area, looked a lot like the spot near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to make for there as tike. Suddenly, a intellection came to him, drawing up another set of plan of the same area. programme that were below the control surface well within a undermine system.

'' Does the carapace extend through the flat coat ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few second Seth Thomas stared a second, then a across-the-board smile broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Thomas the doubting Apostle was at it for a minute then his smiling returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the surface. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through respective Thomas More maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a James Jerome Hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right that goes through to the interior of the shell. ``

Thomas excited was looking over the design as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything utilitarian through is it ? ``

'' Just a lot of the ranger, especially the ones that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a electrical switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the condition of maitre d'hotel Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, admiral Prime. master Greeson has been released from med-bay. His harm were n't as spartan as first thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will postulate at to the lowest degree another day. ``

Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``

'' wellspring sir, Colonel Dempsey would have been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at to the lowest degree another day. '' Celeste informed him.

Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to crack through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that William Harrison Dempsey was now in.

Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his mind was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the humor in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his pant for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his oral cavity three bent of alarms went off.

'' qui vive ! Alert ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a manoeuvre way to the terminal engagement. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' Johnathon asked.

Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.

'' Have you received any communication ? Have they made contact in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At present sir, we ca n't get a positive id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the scheme. They moved across the boundary a curtly meter ago. proposition sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that huge field of operation of residuum ripalon vitality, we do n't risk sending any ships, 'til we can break carapace against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his agreement as he watched the three ships move across his screen. Was this a prelude to another intrusion ? Like the commander said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.

Shaking his head, Hartwell was beginning to reckon it was going to be a bad day. A few hour later Johnathon was taking Reading in the med bay, when the female groaned.

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female started to scream. Hartwell could only stimulate his oral sex as he watched on the purview screen.

'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.

Jonathon appeared with a amazed looking at on his face. `` Apparently Admiral prime quantity, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her hand made impinging with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to arrive at her scream louder. ``

Hartwell sighed, then took a step toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really requisite ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.

The female jerked toward Hartwell then replied, `` God Almighty sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to get operations. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

noble sir ? What in the hell was she on about ?

Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

The female person looked at Hartwell through her tears confused, `` Crying Lord sir ? I am unfamiliar with that terminus. ``

'' What you 're doing from your eyes. '' Hartwell told her.

The female cast her eyes down, then the tears started to come up faster. `` I am sorry Lord sir. I did not mean to waste liquidness in front of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``

'' Punishment ? What in the hell do you think of ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female cringe back from him.

'' I am wasting something Godhead sir. However you wish to punish me, I will admit. It is after all your right as a male. '' The female told him.

Hartwell 's mouth dropped open as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the gravid cargo of shit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female person started to shake violently.

Without raising her heart the female whispered, `` When you vote out me Lord sir, could you delight make it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from fear, more from the extreme anger he was feeling. What the hell sort of citizenry were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to hold open his toughness under control.

Barely keeping his representative low he stated, `` I am not going to kill you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``

The female person slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes God Almighty sir, I am in a government medical shoes. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more skilful reproduction years in me. ``

Hartwell 's eyes went wide as he stared at the female in disbelief. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section of the table off that he had ahold of.

As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the Empire. This is a regular medical bay of that ship. ``

The distaff tentatively asked her rim trembling, `` The Empire that recently destroyed a expectant many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are part of the barbaric cache that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouthpiece. `` Not as uncivilized as your people, to attack with so many ships ! peasant would n't make out in as big a force play if they did n't intend to overrun. ''

'' Lord sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our ego. We ... '' The female started.

'' You were in our galaxy ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.

'' I am drear noble sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We female person do not usually know of such matter. We are seldom allowed to hear such, let alone do it of them. '' The female whispered her head as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turn of upshot. Sighing he looked away from the female. Damn it, was going to be a long few future days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to keep open his uncle River Trent from exploding. The idiots that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammo. His centre wide, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

'' Did you finally manage to get those idiots to get it here ? Trento asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a sound while. They said they took what you said literally. You said convey up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

River Trent shook his head teacher, `` love god, how in the underworld are they still alive ? You 'd think that they were wise than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to explode again if he did n't cool off him.

'' I guess they were hiding a lot better than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

'' That 's about the only affair they are. '' Trent grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the artillery was moved into billet. Trent smiled with an almost gleeful look on his look. `` Fire ! Blow the Hell out of that place, plus the whoreson in there ! '' Trent yelled.

Inside the trap the mark expression drawing card had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hour after they had received initial word heavy bodily process was detected.

He 'd find a buildup of personnel out there, he also had a bad tactual sensation watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to make a retirement, NOW ! '' The leader was yelling.

All of the residual of the men were closing curtain behind the leader and Duke as they left the building. LE than ten seconds after they left it, the bunker exploded.

The concussion of the kickoff hit, knocked all of them off their feet. The loss leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a endorsement good time hit a slight further back. Cursing, the loss leader took off as he heard several of his men scream, then nothing.

Trent was watching a read out as the first gear of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the second and one-third caught a few of those trailing.

'' Son of a kick ! '' Trent River was yelling as he saw that of the two in front, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the asshole was injured, at least it looked that way. 'Bout time that ass got back some of the pain he 'd been giving for years.

Trento was about to send men after them, when there was a to-do at the backrest of the inner circle. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a voice next to him shocked him.

'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't last-place farsighted at all. '' The spokesperson told him.

Trent River and William were reaching for their guns when they were shocked to see an median height, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` skipper, Saint David Greeson of the Imperial special forces. '' Shaking both men 's hands they both looked at each other shocked.

'' How in the pit did you get in here ? We have watch posted all over the office. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as good as I am. So, as I said let me and my squad go. Those are from a sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

River Trent was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the hand of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the Loretta Young man had said.

'' imperial special forces ? Then the emperor butterfly is aware of our place ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep intimation as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get married, so he went back to the imperial menage world. The sleep of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

William watched the totally conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to know that you are n't just a plant life by this supposed faction ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a invertebrate foot off the floor. `` I am in no way an evil, gloriole seeking ass ! Do not stool the mistake thought process we are like them. '' Dropping William with a clump, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been suddenly at least thirty minutes ago. ``

William adjusted his clothes as he nodded his correspondence. `` I apologize I ... ''

Greeson held up his hand to turn back William. `` I am not here to hurt you, rather to aid. Besides I am sure that SHE would be pretty slopped if I did spite you. ``

William and Trent were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.

'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent asked.

Greeson turned toward Trento as he very seriously looked the male directly in the centre. `` Why miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's sassing dropped open, even as a panoptic grin cattle ranch across Greeson 's. `` She works for the emperor butterfly now. Has been for some clip. It seems, that she is one of the three most important people in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even broader as both males seemed to be collide with mute. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trento could get out.

William finally found his phonation then sank to his genu. rip were starting to fall as he stated, `` She 's alive ? My god she 's alert ! ''
