Derrick was moving through the access code way toward the main section of the shipyard. Ahead to his rightfield Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his leftfield. sergeant-at-law initiatory grade Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two safeguard in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to withdraw them quietly no noise. Shaking his head he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the box 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 guards away with little to no dissonance.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in strawman 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 go around out looking for any more guards. Shaking his foreland Derrick had n't expected the office that was here. Apparently the ship one thousand had been infiltrated by some really bad character reference. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an plosion on the transferral as it moved away from the ship K.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be plagiarizer again in the master hallway. So far the scan had indicated thirty men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the reports had said that 30 consistency had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guards. ‘ shucks'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 colligation. mightiness get one set of them not trusted about both. '' Jessye Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the close two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry commandant. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the transfer were being held. A bare ten bit later they were well inside about to pass water a move when an alarm went off.

'' What 's with all the damn noise ? '' A large man with several scrape on his honest-to-god face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most guard absolutely sir, '' came the vocalism of a offspring sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the prick ! farewell three here with me, ought to be enough to control these frighten off Viola tricolor hortensis. '' The obvious drawing card was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the walls picking their military position. Taking a inscrutable intimation Derrick knew that this adjacent role was high-risk as it always was. Checking his repulser waistcoat he stepped out into the room.

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

All four of the pirates whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The onetime scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're dead you piece of jack ! ''

rushing toward the bulwark, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the elbow room with a maw in it. A bit later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female in the way the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's utter whether or not you get me ! '' Two crack from dissimilar directions were heard. Then the tongue was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a hole in the incline of his head.

Derrick ran out to checker on battle of Pittsburgh Landing and Grant. `` Lieutenant battle of Pittsburgh Landing, Warrant Cary Grant can you both stand ? ''

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

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

Grant snapped to tending as did Shiloh. `` will do sir ! '' Hiram Ulysses Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the assailable wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the paries himself moving to a honorable position. Touching his ear he said. `` shoot them all no subsister ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's downhearted reply.

'' Happy to pick up the grease. '' Norman said with a smile.

The following ten moment could only be described as a origin bathing tub 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 few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by respective well placed shots.

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

'' air force officer ? '' Came the voice of Shiloh.

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

'' Just wanted to let you cognise that we are secure. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were prophylactic. '' Shiloh replied.

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

'' for certain Commander, we 've got a bit of clock 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 meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to meet the man she says kept me active to amount back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm sword lily I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a pinch of laughter in his voice. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly unrelenting 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 time of day before all hell breaks loose. I really do n't need to be here when the commando arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get clear-cut enough. Unfortunately the ripalon Energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

'' Are we in danger commandant ? '' Jimison asked.

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

'' Do we let to sir ? Ca n't we just save them all ? '' Norman said with a grim typeface.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather continue it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to remember I was changing their and my past. No I have to keep affair 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 category. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd detest me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

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

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

[ `` trade good send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a defer succeeding to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic piece appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear signal for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely sufficiency distance to return minimum damage. '' ] Tempro answered.

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

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

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the charwoman. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the adjacent few hours are n't too very much of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the sixteen and fourteen yr old sons of the woman. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his female parent called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the Male on the spinal column as he moved toward where battle of Shiloh and Grant were in the command of the ship.

Both men stood to drink Derrick as he came in. `` gladiolus to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Shiloh said.

Looking down Duncan James Corrow Grant stated. `` We should be make to go in half an hour. Can we collapse you and your men a ride ? ''

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

'' I know when more than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different charge. Hell if I did n't acknowledge better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's insufferable as they both are numb. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men live 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 Shiloh were nodding as they hung their chief. `` I 'm glad you got to adjoin the family. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some delicately male child deputy. '' Derrick told him.

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

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

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

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

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are acquit. '' ] 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 mistreat out of the ship crosshatch. `` It would only subscribe to a import ; do you really make to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Pittsburgh Landing standing to his full six infantry two inch meridian. `` I 'll meet her one day deputy, I suggest no issue what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little missy tight, very tight understand ? ''

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

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

His hands on his coxa he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her principal she gulped a bit at the look on her father 's case. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in hassle ? ''

'' Not as much as when your female parent finds out young lady ! '' battle of Shiloh told her with a grim look on his side that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's fount held was about to induce battle of Shiloh to jest. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to evidence mommy ? '' The nine class old asked of her Church Father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a soundly matter to harbour over your psyche do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small grinning small smile on his lip.

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

battle of Pittsburgh Landing was shaking his oral sex as he touched the disgraceful curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his helping hand on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! seminal fluid on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to leave. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the Commander 's last Book came back to him. [ deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little little girl tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the feeling 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 strange spirit. I have n't had one like this in a long metre shoemaker's last time was with the Commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can learn almost fear in your articulation ! '' She replied.

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

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

Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a startled look. Almost the same matter that the air force officer had said !

Making his way to the control room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the piffling girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when Shiloh looked over to Ulysses S. Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then lead.

'' degree look good, all hatches closed, all seal honest. No ruptures, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, cook when you are sir. '' Grant told him.

battle of Pittsburgh Landing was about to aerate the engines when he noticed they were still a little close to the station. `` Mr. Ulysses Grant I suggest we put more than than a bare thousand Kilometers between us and the station. Did you notify the forest fire fighter of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown Department of Energy coming from the post. I have compensated for it though still no striking. '' Grant told him.

Something was nagging at battle of Pittsburgh Landing 's brain more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the place. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` ranger command. This is transport R-00101. Do you read me Ranger command ? ''

A mo later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repetition you -- - -- - high -- -- - field. '' Came the frail sounding staticky signal.

'' program line we we 're attacked by plagiarizer. Please send off help to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' President Grant said. `` shite ca n't seem to get through. Guess we need to get boost away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inactivity. Reaching for locomotive engine controller Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke free !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the mastery chair. Damn it he hated to wait like this ! `` Time ? ''

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

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

'' I am having difficultness retrieving the last two ! Sire I am afraid I am going to turn a loss them ! '' Tempro cried.

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

'' Derrick that would burn my IMT out completely. It would require at least a week to reclaim. '' Shelby told him.

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

Shelby 's centre had bout in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT organisation together. blood brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one thirty five. Now at one fifty. ''

'' I have them sire the addition is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as bout started to flow from her heart. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no Thomas More. I can feel the organisation starting to miscarry. ''

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

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

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the level near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious battle of Pittsburgh Landing with his coat of arms wrapped tightly around a nine class old girl.

The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to come alive her beginner up. `` dada, please come alive up ! I 'm no-count I was in engineering again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little miss asked, `` Can you please help my pappa ? He 's damage ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little lady friend staring at the spotlight 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 typeface.

'' Of grade mister, '' the slight girl said as a strange look came over her face. `` It 's a berth for the care of the infirm, unhinged, or injured ; hospital or adroitness serving as a infirmary. ''

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

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

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

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

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally alert ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the lilliputian lady friend threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to fall from her center. `` I was so pall 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 human face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the Elite imperial beard guardian ships ! ''

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

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

'' commander ! Dear God it 's effective to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to express mirth as Gunter again tried to rear then conflict to get loosen. `` 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 hunky-dory papa ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent 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 deputy. '' 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 delight get her to check doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

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

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

'' Shelly please contain passing your handwriting through the holograph ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a strange look and light in her eyes. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light field as an hitch blueprint of seemingly random magnetic variation in the opacity, density, or surface profile of the photographic medium. ''

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

Still with a unusual look on her case she asked, `` Are you return via lens and lasers ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the simulacrum no matter what the light is in the room. I can be made with electron lens and laser though they are petroleum and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to raise a scheme to provide you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining control condition of the ship. I fear though that with the electric current technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the picayune girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got tumid. `` We have to get her to shut that area of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the inaugural fourth dimension in a long time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

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

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's daddy. Come back to me baby girl, it 's ok just come back to papa. '' Gunter said.

Softly at first then they all saw the tear start from her eyes they heard. `` pop ? Daddy ? pappa ! '' Suddenly the minuscule girl was running to her father as she threw her implements of war around him. The only sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her forefather 's chest.

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

Another door opened as Grant walked in. `` You ameliorate let his wife out soon or we 're going to own a BIG problem with that niggling woman. She damn near took my psyche off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last clock time you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't go out yet. ''

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

grant snapped to attending then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or matter ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` regretful Tempro. ‘ Comes in here to tell me to unwind I am either going to violently kill them or put a jam in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh crap ! '' battle of Shiloh said. `` She is tangible pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's eyes got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. Explain you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. shut down off everything, straight here. ''

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

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

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring all-embracing eyed at the medical room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to determine a way to avail 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 merely girl I have or will ever have. I damned near choke having her I can never accept children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's face telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
