Kimison and Rayburn were still a little rattled, they had already started in on the commanding officer 's orders. The thing is they were both certain that the man was shady. Both men looked over several projects that were laying on a nearby table.

'' So, you think he has any melodic theme what we 're working on ? '' Kimison asked.

Rayburn was looking back and forth between the mesa and Kimison. `` blaze, I have no idea. Then again, the man was always far more observant than we thought. Not sure I want to test just how much he can suss out either. ``

Kimison shivered a instant then nodded his agreement `` I have to agree with you. Not really wanting to see him as pissed at us as he was before. I am sure he can feel as competent scientists as us quite easily. ``

A shimmering appeared next to the two men as Tempro appeared. `` I find that statement to be highly unlikely. I am for certain that the emperor moth is under a lot of stress. I am also sealed, that anything the both of you can do to assuage that stress will garner his thanks and reward. ``

Both men could only to stare at the holo-gram. `` You really have no approximation as to the who he really is. We served with him through the revulsion of war. A bloody, messy, confusing as hell war. One that at times, it seemed we were doing nothing to advance. '' Kimison said.

'' There were times that we felt we had been abandoned. Times when we thought there was no way we were getting out alert. The commander pulled us from the jaws of infernal region more time than we care to echo. We are loyal to him to a error, the man is still military, therefore he still thinks with that mentality. '' Rayburn continued.

'' With us not following what he has ordered us to do, his military mind might call back we are disobeying orders. We have to show a damn good understanding for not doing exactly as he ordered. '' Kimison explained.

'' So, the advance and the new machines you have started, is your working toward that end ? '' A surprised Tempro asked. To which both men nodded. `` Then it would be acceptable if I was to add my services to aid you ? ``

Wide grins broke out on both men 's faces as they were both vigorously nodding their agreement.

'' hi ? '' A associate phonation sounded from the speakers.

'' Ah ! Derry, no, we have n't forgotten about you. Tempro is he set to evacuate to infinite ? '' Kimison asked as he looked over the readings.

'' Yes primes, I am reading XL percent regen of the body. sixty pct of cerebral activity. Derry, I am about to evacuate you to blank. '' Tempro said.

'' I am ready, I am anxious to begin serving the Emperor. '' Derry said.

'' Open bay one, '' Kimison said as they all watched what was finished of the ship move out. `` I 'm pitiful that you wo n't be able to join the fleet for several days. You have to complete your regen before that is possible. Well, that and we have to make indisputable your personality ground substance is functioning properly. ``

'' I concur, I do not care to go bad in my duty to the emperor. '' Derry answered.

Both Rayburn and Kimison looked at each other, this they hoped was rightful. This was their first endeavour making a personality, especially one as coordination compound as the commander.

Shiloh and Grant appeared before Hartwell. `` You called us sir ? '' Shiloh said as they both snapped off a salute.

Hartwell turned to smile at both men. `` Yes, it appears that the both of you have been reassigned. Also, '' there was a shimmering beside both men as the hologram of Derrick appeared.

'' I regret that I am unable to be there to do this in person. frailty Admiral Gunter battle of Shiloh, step forward. '' Derrick said as both men could only stare at Derrick. Looking at Grant, battle of Shiloh shrugged then moved forward to Hartwell. `` For meritorious service and aid with the other empire business, I hereby promote you to admiral. ``

Hartwell pinned a fourth wiz on Gunter who could only stare with his mouth hanging open. Hartwell shook his hired man then whispered, `` close your sassing Gunter it might attract fly. '' Gunter nodded closing his mouth saluted, then stepped back.

Derrick turned toward Grant, `` lower hindquarters admiral Richard Hiram Ulysses Grant, gradation forward. '' Cary Grant advanced to Hartwell with a slight smile. `` For meritorious service and aid with the other empire patronage, I hereby promote you to Upper Rear full admiral. ``

Hartwell smiled as he pinned a second star on Grant. `` receive to my reality the both of you. '' Hartwell saluted then stepped back.

'' As I stated I regret not being there to do this personally. With the terror of the Cregons upon both empires I am afraid that I am still trying to hammer out details. The both of you go to the empire planet. You '', Derrick said as he turned toward Shiloh, `` have a family that is awaiting you. You, '' here he turned to Grant, `` need time off. ``

'' Sir ? '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing questioned.

'' Both of you along with Jimison have been on duty for the last few months. Jimison, is engaged in more way than one. He has an avenue to release all of his pent-up frustration. The both of you do not at the import, though you Shiloh -- - ? '' Derrick started when there was the sound of little running feet.

'' Mister nice man ? '' Derrick heard the voice of a small girl.

'' In here, '' Derrick shouted then heard the humble understructure divert, heading in his focussing. A here and now later Shelly Shiloh fusillade into the room followed closely by her female parent, Empress Shelby and Mary.

Shelly ran to Derrick throwing her arms around him. `` Hide me ! '' Shelly whispered to Derrick. `` They want me to ingest a nap. I 'm not even tired ! ``

A wide grin came to Derrick 's face as he felt almost all the tension drain from his body.

'' Ah Miss Shelly, it is always so good to have you visit. I am sorry that, I have n't been to visit you, so much has been going on. You know, '' Derrick said low, `` I think that there is someone who 'd screw to talk to you. ``

Derrick slowly withdrew, revealing her Fatherhood 's holo-gram. `` PAPA ! '' Shelly screamed as he ran to then through the vision of Gunter. Shelly 's eyes opened wide, `` pop ? Are you where the see-through ma'am is ? ``

Another pant behind Shelly, had them turning to gaze at his married woman Mita. `` Gunter ! It is expert to see you. I wish ... '' she started.

'' Rest assured, I am sending him to be with all of you as soon as I can. '' Derrick said making the smiling on Shelly and Mita 's faces farm large.

Both launched them ego at him as they were both hugging and kissing his cheek.

Mary and Shelby could only smile when they saw the expression of pure joy on Derrick 's face.

'' Hey ! '' They all heard Gunter shout. `` I hope that the both of you save a lot of that for me. I have missed those kisses and hugs greatly. ``

Shelly leaned up to whisper in Derrick 's ear. `` I think that the see through lady is mad at me. I tried to go into a room with big letters on the threshold. central processing unit ? She has been chasing me ever since. ``

Mary sighed a moment, `` I have not been chasing you the whole time. I only wanted you to delay away from there. If you damaged something there, I am afraid that I might evaporate for a very long time. You are a very smart girl, I did n't want you injured. ``

Shelly 's eyes glazed over a moment as she stated. `` I would not stimulate any damage to any logic nor personality banks. Though I was anxious to observe the entire extent of your system. ``

Derrick touched a ring on his wrist, seeing that Shelly was rapidly returning to her more normal province. `` Shelly ? '' Derrick asked as he saw the glass look disappearing from her eyes.

Shelly was staring at Blessed Virgin a consequence more then, turned her attention toward Derrick. `` Uncle Derry ? '' She asked then walked to Derrick, `` I am better, no headache this time. I believe that Momma was able to suppress almost of the prejudicial effects of the nanomites. '' Turning toward Mary and Mita she stated, `` I believe that .001 more microvolts might further mar more sequence. ``

Mita looked at Blessed Virgin, both nodded as Mary started to align the charge. `` I do think that will keep the episodes away further. '' Mary said.

Shelly nodded then kissed Derrick on the cheek. `` Thank you uncle Derry. '' Shelly then fell into Derrick 's arms unconscious.

'' position ? '' Derrick asked.

'' This modish adaption should preserve almost all her episodes at bay. She had to defend when the guardianship was n't enough. I am reading that she is healthy with no ill upshot. '' Mary said after she scanned Shelly again.

Derrick, Shelby and Mita all breathed a sigh of easing. Picking Shelly up Derrick walked her all the way across the palace. Placing her in her bed he saw that all her blood brother had appeared deep headache on their faces.

'' Let her rest Guy, she has been through a lot today. '' Derrick said to all three of her brothers that had appeared extremely worried facial expression on their faces.

The youngest boy 's manus gently tugged at Derrick 's shirt sleeve. `` Sir ? '' The boy asked a few tears on his face. `` will she be ok ? She is the only if sister I have, I told her I would try to protect her. '' Here the boy lowered his head teacher as more split escaped his eye. `` Please sir help her, she is the entirely babe we have. ``

Mita 's eyes were full she 'd not pick up not a word of this before. Looking from her son to Derrick, a pleading spirit in her eyes, Derrick nodded slightly to her.

For a present moment Derrick 's thoughts drifted back a few hours. He 'd win over the emperor Kandra and the Delcrons to come to the imperium major planet for a while. He 'd only been at it an hour, finishing various royal postulation when all four of them had come in. Shaking his head, he still had no idea how he had achieved that diminished miracle.

Another shake of his header, cleared his thoughts as he now addressed what Shelly 's youngest brother asked. `` We are doing all that we can to help her. She has even added to what we have done to avail her. ``

The boy nodded as he listened to Derrick. In a whispered vocalisation he asked, `` you ... you do n't think she will hate me ? I have been so afraid that she would hate me when I could n't help her. ``

'' No, I do n't think that she will, she is your Sister, mob. She might be a little mad though, hate you ? No, I do n't call up so. '' Derrick explained.

A panoptic, happy smiling, slowly started to rule the boys feature film. `` Thank you sir, I will do my effective for her. ``

'' I think, that will make her happier than you think, just be there for her. That I think, will aid her to a greater extent than anything. '' Derrick replied as he turned to go.

'' Thank you sir, '' Mita told him outside of the room. `` That, I believe will facilitate more than you know, well the getting even of Gunter wo n't bruise either. ``

Derrick nodded then turned toward the opposite side of the palace. He still had the official dinner that the Delcrons had agreed to. Moments later he sat again at the desk he 'd been at before. his day was starting to raise stranger and stranger.

With renewed muscularity, Derrick again started in on the preparations for the dinner party. An odd shimmering across the way had Derrick snapping his promontory toward it.

'' Sire, '' came The Virgin 's vox, `` I am detecting a foreign transmission to this room. Should I attempt to block it ? ``

try to forget it ? Since when, did n't Mary NOT have ther powerfulness to parry anything ?

'' Can you tell where it is emanating from ? '' Derrick asked almost afraid of the answer.

'' The signaling seems to be coming from the guidance of the Delcron beetleweed. '' Virgin Mary replied.

Derrick nodded he 'd been afraid that was where it was from. `` Allow it, though, you are having trouble keeping the signal out ? ``

'' Sire, this is no ordinary signal. It contains nous wafture, plus it is backed by a substantive sum of money of broadcast power. '' Mary informed Derrick.

Shit Derrick thought, these bugs were starting to seriously pee-pee him off. `` Keep working on blocking it, no need just letting them in without permission. ``

'' out-of-doors sire, '' Mary replied.

'' Ssssoo the heavy human ruler HA power after all. Though you are the firsssst to block SS, you wo n't lassst long. Your antiquated auto will sssssoon be nothing. We will crussssh it, we ... what isssss happening ? '' The Cregon voice asked.

'' You should do far more research before you insult a livelihood machine. '' Snapped Mary 's voice.

'' This is not over ! We will ... '' The Cregon started then the sounds of explosions then nothing.

Derrick had a smirk on his side as Mary appeared. `` So, brain letting me in on the hidden ? '' Derrick asked when he saw the tone of satisfaction on Mary 's face.

'' cypher often father, it was a simple thing to over load their systems. I 'm sure they lost a lot of equipment judgement by the sizing of the explosions I am detecting on their satellite. '' Mary replied nonchalantly.

A astray grin broke out on Derrick 's face, so he guessed the old adage was reliable. Never piss a woman off, by insulting what she is most majestic of. practiced thing she was on his slope Derrick thought.



Hartwell tried his best not to grimace each time he looked in on Lucie. He had enough to do without worrying about her.

The commanding officer, had sent him all that had been gathered about the Cregons. The commander seemed to be at his wits end coming up with a plan that did n't let in double-dyed genocide of the Cregons.

The only trouble he was having was this bonding that Bee had mentioned. Then of line was the fact that not once but twice his sister had passed out. Though, the second sentence was entirely his fault, well, he felt it was his fault.

He had been at it a few 60 minutes when he got an pressing shout from the commander. `` Please severalise me you have something. '' Derrick 's miffed voice stated.

Releasing a sigh Hartwell looked up at Derrick 's holo-gram. `` I 'm afraid not sir, with all that 's been going on I have only had 'bout two hour to bet over the data point. As of yet, the sole thing I have noticed, is that when they they seem to always use a eccentric of swarming flack. Reminds me of bees and emmet, they prevail with numbers more than than forcefulness. ``

Derrick was nodding his mind, `` I had noticed the Saami case of thing. It is difficult to fight against, especially when they seem to have an endless, replacement army for those that are destroyed. ``

'' That 's the thing sir, '' Hartwell said. `` At the onset of our last battle the numbers did n't count as long as they were swarmed together. Remember ? We were picking them apart before they could class. might I suggest that we keep with that strategy 'til something better might be found. '' Bee said something a import later as she was staring at the screen. `` hang on a indorse sir. What was that Bee ? ``

'' I ... I did not wish to interfere with you, talking to the beas ... the emperor. I just noticed something while you were watching the engagement. '' Bee almost whispered her head and heart down.

This of grade, peaked the curiosity of both Derrick and Hartwell. `` Please talk up, '' Derrick 's holo-gram said.

'' well God Almighty sirs, it seems to me that you were lucky. Had the enemy had only a little more harbor power the engagement would not throw been as it was. Had you attack them here, '' she pointed to the middle of the chromatography column. `` Also this point, '' here she pointed to the far end of the column. `` It would have caused far Thomas More confusion among them. ``

Derrick and Hartwell were nodding, though they both were a piddling skeptical. `` You know this for a fact ? '' Derrick asked.

Bee dropped her head and voice lower, `` my people used it quite a lot. We would uncover at all three points, catching them by surprise. The mix-up usually caused them to destroy far more of themselves than we actually did. ``

A very bombastic smile came to Derrick 's lips, yes he thought. Quite a few that were destroyed had crashed into those behind. Hmmm, if they were going both directions it would work very well.

'' This idea has serious deservingness, '' Derrick said making Bee 's mouth free fall outdoors in surprise. `` Though we do not throw the cloak that your multitude have. ``

'' Lord sir, '' Bee said, `` I have seen how fast your ships can move, going through the vicious blinking eye. It seems that you could be there, long before they can react, disappearing before they could fire on you. ``

Both men looked at each other then at a still foreland bowed Bee. `` See ? '' Derrick said, `` I told you they were accustomed to struggle. Always conflict ready, told you she could be of aid. Now, are n't you glad I suggested it ? '' A smirking Derrick said.

Hartwell tensed up about to retort loudly to Derrick when he saw Bee start to inch away. Taking a bass breath, he shook his fountainhead calming.

To say that Derrick was surprised was an understatement. `` By god ! you have to splice this female. I have never seen you exercise the control that you just did. Personally, I find it refreshing, I ... ''

Through clenched tooth Hartwell whispered in harsh feeling, `` look sir, do n't press it ! '' Looking over to Bee he saw that she was inching away faster.

Derrick followed Hartwell 's gaze, shocked when he saw Bee trying to hide herself. Taking a deep cleansing intimation, Hartwell felt almost all the anger leave behind his body.

'' I am good-for-nothing Bee, I sometimes blank out just how afraid you are. I did not imply to add to it. '' Hartwell said as he extended his hand to Bee. Tentively she grasp it staring into Hartwell 's eyes. With a short nod she crept out of hiding, a small smile starting to overshadow her lips.

'' I am dismal lord sir, I was hardly ever allowed in the command expanse. It was expressly tabu for females to be there. The penalty is almost always death, since this is an unwanted condition we avoid it at all monetary value. '' A slightly trembling Bee stated.

It took all of Hartwell 's willpower to not turn a loss his temper. The final stage matter he needed right now, was Bee to be hiding the whole time they were out here.

To say Derrick was still in shock about Hartwell 's control, plus his chasteness was an understatement. He did n't know if there was something airborne about the female or it was just Hartwell. All he knew was, this new Hartwell was a breathing space of refreshed air.

'' I leave it to you Admiral. I still have this dinner party with our possible new ally to be after. The security alone is a nightmare as is The Virgin keeping the Cregons out. Though after what she did, we might not have to care about it for a bit. '' Derrick said as he recalled all that Virgin Mary had done and reported.

'' That does vocalize good, though knowing our hazard, those shucks bugs have several back-ups. Never seems to be as easy as it appears, does it commander ? '' Hartwell said.

'' No Admiral, it never is or does, at least not in our case. How is your sister ? I have n't had a chance to watch on her. '' Derrick said changing subjects.

'' All you have to do is commend the terror of the bio-beds to guess. Though, she has stopped most of her complaints since I talked to her about them. '' Hartwell said.

Both men shuddered a bit remembering their own time in them.



Duke Risen was laughing as his ship started to lift-off from the planet where the small colony of stranded Cregons were.

Finally, everything ready he reached for the controls when the ship shuddered. What the Hell he thought. Bringing up a view of exterior he saw that the soldiers that were left were firing on him !

Damnit ! Though they did n't really bear much that could hurt the ship, there was still a chance. Pressing several switches, a whirring noise announced that his weapons were opening.

Even when the soldiers saw them, they continued to go off. Now completely pissed off, the Duke opened fire almost continually for a few bit. When the debris and Mary Jane cleared, the Duke laughed. There was hardly anything left except physical structure section all over the place. Patting the weapons panel the Duke nodded his head, first family muscularity weapons.

Lifting, the Duke made for distance as fast as possible. With the supporter of the Cregons he felt assured of the eventual defeat of the fake to the toilet. Smirking, he thought of Maury, the last president. Not the impertinent man, though he was a good manipulator of people.

It was a ignominy that the idiot had let himself get captured. Then again, the Duke thought, the man 's help was still alive. Good matter he was n't using the Taiolan faction anymore. That leader had been crazy beyond even the Duke 's liking.

The Duke 's hands flew over the controls as he set path for the next planet he needed to inflict. One look at the time art object told him it would be a day or so 'til he arrived. This was the last ship he had left when he escaped.

Shaking his head he really hated to smirch his body with more foul smelling liquid. If it got rid of the pretender to the throne, then it would well be worth it.

It was almost two days later when the Duke 's ship exited trans-warp. Looking at the shadow reality he was approaching, the Duke dialed a certain frequency. A sadistic smile twisted on his lips as he heard the static. It had been set up by his family so that they would know that this was the make up planet.

The Duke shuddered as he thought of meeting with more foreign allies. Opening another vial, the Duke began to smear it all over his trunk. The Duke had to hold his nose, this was by far worse than the live one.

Turning the translating program on, the Duke spoke the prearranged phrasal idiom. A few moments later a peevish voice was heard.

'' So our ally has returned. It has been far too long since his evil front has been felt. '' The voice said.

'' I am afraid that, that by-blow is idle. His usefulness was far passed. This is the minute germ from him, I have come to help you put revenge upon the empire that trapped you here. '' The Duke said.

'' We do not know you, try to down, you will be vaporized before you touch the soil. '' Retuned the voice.

A little pissed the Duke snapped, `` fine then I will subscribe the plans for the ship and the office sources to the Cregons. I am sure they wish revenge on the empire that trapped them here also. I.. ''

The Duke was interrupted by another voice. `` How daring you talk to us like that ! We should ... ''

'' HA ! You 'll do nothing especially without my assist. No one knows you are here, just like the Cregons. As I said I can go to them, they want revenge. My family has kept the mysterious, allowing you to live and grow. THAT, can soon be rectified ! '' The Duke snapped.

'' You dare ... '' the minute voice started.

'' I dare what ever the hell I want ! I hold the design, the energy root, ALL the replenishers. Another give-and-take and I 'll let your competitor the Cregons know just where you are ! Well ! ? Bah ! I am through with pitiable shadows of once lofty conquering races. '' The Duke spit out slowly turning his ship away.

'' Wait ! '' A new more authoritative interpreter shouted over the com. `` You are indeed your father 's source. You may land, it will be a magnificent day when we can take revenge. Revenge upon this hated humanoid race, plus are hated enemies the Cregons. ``

'' That 's more like it. Know that, I have Sir Thomas More than sufficient firepower to destroy the settlement if I detect perfidy. '' The Duke growled out.

An minute later the Duke 's craft touched down. As he was shutting down a series of alarm clock went off. `` monition, Warning ! Reading svelte malfunction within trans-warp engine. Weapon 's efficiency has been reduced XV percent. Self repair has started, estimated time to finish, thirteen hours, thirty two transactions. Trans-warp will involve ten hours, twenty three minute of arc. ``

Shit ! The Duke thought, then a grim evil smile came to his brim. All those motherfucker were dust after all, so really he got the last laugh. `` How much will hold to be shut down to action this ? '' The Duke asked.

'' Complete shut down of all scheme. '' The drone voice reported.

The Duke thought a few moments then shook his point. `` With the hostile environment we are in, I am afraid that is n't possible. I need shields up the entire time I am gone, if you can shut out them off do so. Though, you need to prevent an active agent CAT scan on at all times. If you are approached by any of the inhabitants of this planet I want them up, weapon also. ``

'' This will seriously lengthen the fixing sentence. '' The voice stated.

The Duke growled, `` just follow my tinker's damn didactics ! ``

'' Compliance, '' the voice said, `` now commencing shut down of almost all scheme. ``

The Duke breathed a sigh of ministration, reaching into a bombastic box, the Duke started to withdraw several point. Clicking several shift on the token, the Duke smiled as each came to life. Taking a deep breath, the Duke stepped out of the ship.

Only a few moments later, the Duke turned as he heard the auditory sensation of humming approaching. Shading his center he saw several kind as they started to issue forth into aspect. Just as I remember he thought, the phase started to take shape.

Within moments several cleared winged, insect like wight landed. `` We have been instructed to bring you to the Queen. '' The obvious leader said as it tried to take hold of the Duke, only to be knocked back over XXX meters. Then there was the fact that stage of the creature were severely burned.

'' I think I will walk. '' The Duke said to the rest that were assembled. `` Oh yes, I forgot. '' The Duke said as he drew a foreign looking weapon, firing at the one that had tried to touch him. The weapon system emitted a strange beam that seemed to melt the burned legged one, amid screech of tortured pain. The Duke turned to the others, `` there saved the pouf having to correct his failure. ``

There was what sounded like snickering as the Duke started to walk to the nearby beehive .
