Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his mouth hanging unfold there was no way in nether region that he was going to believe that O'Toma was emperor.
Shaking his head teacher he had to sit, almost as if by conjuring trick a tail end appeared under him.

'' I 'm good-for-nothing I am finding this a trivial too hard to swallow. '' That was when Hartwell started to express mirth.
'' It 's a good one I have to take on, now then, I really ask to run across or talk to the man. The sensation, that brought about the capture of over 100 pirate ships, near the old ship yards. ``

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

Mary appeared a moment later.
'' Rear admiral Hartwell, '' she stated. `` Do you by chance pick out me ? ``

Nodding he looked straight at her, `` You are a computing machine generated hologram, I recognize you from the few motion-picture show that remain of the initiative and finale emperors. ``

`` Very unspoilt sir, what you may not know is that I was given the power to ordain all imperial authorization, in all imperial subject. The most significant in the last 2 C 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 trial impression that the following emperor had been found. Though I am sure you noticed I left his name off ? That was to protect what was left of his family. I am the only one who can announce 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 substance, crap ; I thought we were toast after that irregular one. '' Shaking his head, `` When did you get that brilliant ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' fountainhead I had help, '' Derrick told him. Showing the man his download head set, Derrick was tempted to return the man a minuscule sense of taste, but he did n't want the man in the hospital for days.

'' I have to say it is you, my god man you have an imperium waiting for you, '' Hartwell said.

'' I want you to be a piece of it, I also want the others that are left, we can serve almost everything that might be wrong with them. '' Derrick said excited that he finally had a human he could actually trust.

Sighing Hartwell looked away tears filling his middle, `` Of the nine that were left only 5 of us are still alive. Shilo and concession were killed in a transport stroke, the whole ship was lost. Jimison was killed trying to stop a robbery. Greg Norman, '' here Hartwell sighed even harder, `` was blown out of a hatch ; he 'd managed to salve 15 people that were trapped. He heard the hatch failing and shoved them into life gravy holder capsule, he 'd just managed to get it exclude and secured when the hatch went. ''

Even full-grown bust were in his eyes, `` He was a hero ! They said it was his break, he was n't even there, he was on the other side of the ship when the phone call came out. The illegitimate child blamed their own incompetency on him ; I have tried to reopen the case for 2 years now. The Chief Executive was part owner so it was swept under the rug ! ''

Derrick growled Norman had been the Best of his social unit, strong and up to with a moral code that was irregular only to Derrick 's own.

Derrick sat there a bit waiting for Hartwell to cool off, then Derrick spoke, `` There will be Department of Justice for them, I 'll make believe for certain of that, if it 's the last matter 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 class ago, I also believe that you will do as you say. ``

'' What of the others Dempsy, Lowell Jackson Thomas, Rayburn, and Kimison ? '' Derrick asked though he was n't too sure he was going to be glad with the answer.

'' Dempsy is still as rowdy as he was back then, he joined the Texas Ranger with me. He 's turned down a commission more metre than I want to admit, he still says that you and I were born leader and he was more happy following than he is leading.
As for the others, let 's see the last I heard Thomas went into the salvage line, damn upright airplane pilot from what I hear. Rayburn settled down on a far initiate world on the Galatic rim doing pretty undecomposed the last time I saw him. '' Here Hartwell stopped a smell of anger on his grimace, `` They shoved Kimison into a old-timer 's recovery centerfield, more like a ho-hum death pit, one-half of the mass staffing the place do n't like. The former half looks the former way. I pay for him, he saved my lifetime more than a few prison term, I owe him that plus a unit lot more. It 's the only intellect he his treated and tended as well.

Derrick growled, he 'd seen those supposed veteran soldier's centers he had to consort they were death colliery, really not even worthy of dying in. Between clenched tooth Derrick said, `` I will throw him out of there as soon as I can, I owe him quite a bit myself, and I intend to repay him. ''

Here Derrick slammed his clenched fist down on the table in movement of him. `` I 'm going to need your license to remove him ; I need you to radio me on this frequency when you sign the paper. '' Hartwell nodded the look of surprise then pride in his optic 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-fixed when she entered his judgment to help gain the rest of the distress that she felt was still there.

'' sire, '' Madonna spoke up a consequence later, `` I know that you trust the bum full admiral, but as per your program, do you wish him to be released with the knowledge of just who you are ? As you yourself advised me you are still worried about your family. At present I have only been able to land 2 picket in abrir oculta, at deliver there is no threat though I am afraid that will alter when who the Saturnia pavonia is, is known. ``

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

Derrick sat for a few moments thinking on the problem, `` Mary, Shelby, the head wipe/ blocker can it be adjusted to amplify the forte of the mind ? To fix it almost unimaginable to conk out into the head without the equipment we have here ? ``

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

'' I concur, though I do ingest a device that can fall that clock time by 12 hour, '' Madonna smiled sweetly.

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

'' Do n't worry I 've used this numerous times, you 'll be safe. '' Mary told a now shaking Hartwell.

Looking over at Derrick Hartwell was n't too for sure, `` It 's ok conceive me, you are a closelipped acquaintance of mine that puts you in an extremely rarefied slur to The Virgin and to me. Just to let you lie with, you are the first and for now the only person to sleep together who and what I am. '' Derrick told him.

Joseph Hartwell 's thorax swelled, his old commander was trusting him with this, then he looked at the small gimmick that appeared on the table next to him. `` Alright commandant if you trust it, then I guess I will also. ``

Sighing Derrick picked up the device feeding into a time slot on the console.
'' I am disconsolate if we have panicked you, it 's either this or we do a remembering rub 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 ... things. '' Derrick said as something on a console table drew his aid, nodding his head word he pulled up a view of a man in an engine room.

Confused only a moment Derrick looked back at Hartwell with a smile.
'' I see Dempsy up to no good as usual, '' Derrick said a Brobdingnagian grinning on his face. `` You think we can get him without alerting the eternal rest of the wing ?

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

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

In a distorted voice Derrick said, `` sailor Dempsy that had better not be an illegal alcoholic auto I see you making there in that crawl way ! ``

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

This meter 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 discombobulation on Dempsy 's face.

'' I do n't have ... '' there was a blink of an eye and Dempsy was laying at Hartwell 's fundament, `` ... the time ... to come .... '' Looking around Dempsy jumped to his feet and saluted Hartwell. `` I 'm sorry sir I did n't eff it was you ! ``

'' At ease Dempsy, it was n't me it was our host here. '' Hartwell said as Dempsy was staring spacious eyed at the crawl blank he 'd just been in on the aspect screen.

Dempsy was staring at several of the machines and venire, silent for a consequence he whispered, `` This is unbelievable, I 've only understand about the things I am seeing here. None of this has existed for over 800 years ! I have to stimulate the hand of the one who found this. '' Turning he had n't yet noticed Derrick who was watching the mass medium build red headed man.

`` So I take it you like what you see ? '' Derrick said his voice still disguised.

Dempsy nodded still almost in a trance, then a light seemed to go off in his head. `` Hey wait ! There were only 3 people that knew about the ignoring and dared to address me Demples. I had good cause to brush off command ! One is here, one is on the Galactic rim, the last no one has heard ... from ... in, commandant ? '' This finish whispered in awe.

seance forward Derrick smiled, `` farsighted time Dempsy, too long ! ``

Dempsy was about to start yelling when Shelby appeared, `` Derrick I am afraid that the apparatus he was working on is starting to build up pressure. I am afraid burst is imminent. ``

'' Alright send out a pulse and shut it down, vent as much pressure 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 cubic image ? An encoding of the light field as an interference pattern of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, density, or the surface profile of the photographic medium ? '' Dempsy whispered.

`` No it 's to a greater extent of a projection within a self contained organisation ..., Demspy ! God I have missed you especially since now I can understand what you are saying. '' Derrick said with a smile.

Dempsy 's mouth dropped open, though he was n't sure what had him more in seismic disturbance the hologram, the systems on this ship, or the fact that the commander was back and actually understood what he was talking about ! Standing up uncoiled Dempsy snapped off a salute, `` Sorry commander as I said before I did n't recognize it was you. I 'm sorry I had heard that you had passed, '' smiling Dempsy said, `` should let known you were too tough to be taken out that easily. ''

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

'' Oh nil that big I am in command of the final of the EIG ships, I have 4 right now, each with their own hologram, plus I am the next emperor. See aught that big. '' Derrick said a one-half smile on his face.

Dempsy was still a slight in jounce ; `` 4 oh my god you lucky bastard ! Oh distressing sir. '' Dempsy quickly said.

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

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

Dempsy turned to await at Hartwell, `` I could submit an extended leave, then not come back. ''

Hartwell smirked at Dempsy, `` Now you know that the Texas Ranger would jump an investigating the present moment you were a few arcminute late coming back. I do n't opine you want the entire fleet looking for you, at to the lowest degree not 'til the commander and the Rangers are more established together. ``

Derrick smiled bigger seeing that Dempsy was about to get down whining. `` It 's O.K. Dempsy you 'll get you luck to play later. Right now I need to aline both of your mental capacity before I release you. ``

Dempsy did a doubled take then started hard at Derrick, `` You want to do exactly what to me and my brain ? ``

'' I want to beef up your cognitive abilities, making it unvoiced to deep scan and withdraw data. '' Derrick stated after a moment.

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

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

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

'' I said that power still be an option knowing your head you 'll have intercourse it, '' Derrick said smiling.

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

Shelby appeared next to Dempsy a wide smile plastered to her face, `` sir, '' she said, `` it is completely secure I have used it many clock time in the by 800 years, besides I have scanned you wit already and found that nothing supernumerary will have to be done. Neither will I have to delete anything from you. ``

Dempsy breathed a sigh of relief, `` Why did n't you say that in the first place ? ``
Derrick just shook his pass god he really had missed Dempsy.
one-half an hour later both men were finished with their operation, Derrick gave both a communicator to call them later.

After sending Dempsy back Derrick paused a moment, `` Let me have it away the co-ordinate of Rayburn 's place I might pay him a visit soon. If you find out exactly where Thomas is and what company I 'd appreciate it, as for Kimison it wo n't be long before he is out. Get the paperwork done and I 'll aim tending of the eternal sleep. ``

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

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

Turning a misshapen voice spoke, `` We thank you tail Admiral Hartwell we will be in soupcon. Also to the youth man at the science station, delight stop attempting to glance over for us, thank you. '' With that the riddle went blank as several started at it and Hartwell with open mouths. Sitting down Hartwell started in on his report.

Introductory meeting and Salutation
news report 115-001-RSFW-004
Ranger special Forces Wing-001
tail Admiral Joesph Hartwell, commanding

After meeting with the new emperor as per orders from bidding and extending our hand in friendship,
it is this officer 's judgment that said salutation was well received. The new emperor who as of yet will not
reveal his name at gift spirit confident that the Rangers and the empire will be able to forge an
alliance that should be good to all.

Though unknown to this officer, the emperor butterfly appears to be a mediocre and condole with man. The amount
of news the man showed was indeed formidable the few organization I saw on board his watercraft make
the Rangers pale in equivalence. He has left a way to pass on with him the next clock time we wish to.

It is the opinion of this officer that the emperor moth is indeed who he says he is. It is this officer 's honest
thought that command has made the adept conclusion in all phases of their dealings with this individual.
At stage I have no boost recommendation to present.

There he thought that ought to throw them off for a while, and perhaps give me clip to start the other things I need to, Hartwell thought. On control panel the hold out ship Dempsy smiled holding onto the small device that Shelby had given him, damn if it did n't make the booze a hell of a lot electric sander ! Hell according to her it was 100 times safer too, hell yeah ! Rubbing his Chin Dempsy thought a second 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 right idea to severalize Shelby to give him the purifier/distiller. Derrick started to express mirth when Dempsy took a swallow and started to cough from the much more utter booze. HA ! Derrick thought teach you to not test it first !

Rejoining the residuum of the ships they were about to proceed out when both Conner and Zan signaled him. `` forefather ! '' Came their unrestrained voices, `` we are picking up 2 signals ! Both on the galactic rim ! ``

Derrick rushed to a instrument panel reading the signaling they had received, `` Alright Shelby, let 's get this one right now ! ''
Derrick said pointing to a point on the cover. `` The other we 'll get as soon as the first is secure. Conner, Zan I want you to stick around here and keep an eye on the commonwealth fleet I still do n't bear a lot of trust of them. ''

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

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

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

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

Stopping within scanning image Derrick wanted to do sure enough about the second box. The readings he 'd gotten had indicated that something was n't quite right hand about it. They 'd been there perhaps an 60 minutes when Derrick looked up from the screen with a unforgiving face. `` Shelby I do n't know if it 's possible for us to get this one. Even with you IMT the detachment is almost impossible. It appears that this device is bonded at a molecular level, your IMT is very, very precise but without a more untroubled focal item I 'm not sure we can safely secure this one. ``

Mary and Shelby both appeared a moment later, `` As much as I wish to disagree with you I must concur. Though father if I remember right you were working on a molecular differentiation gimmick, not long after the explosive twist that you removed from Zan. '' Mary told him.

'' Yes but I gave that up because at the molecular level everything started to attend more and more the Same. '' Derrick sadly stated.

Blessed Virgin thought about it for a prison term then also sadly replied, `` It is a shame that we have the learning ability box right here. ``

'' Make a line of the attitude when we are better prepared we can return and call up it. '' Derrick said, Mary only nodded she could tell that Shelby was n't felicitous about leaving one of her children out here alone for tenacious than necessary.

Derrick decided that a few more bit was n't going to hurt, taking readings Derrick worked furiously at the console. Adjusting almost as fast as his finger's breadth could he started to get a break idea about the affixation of the device, not all that dissimilar from that which was on the astral fin of Zan. Hmmm looking further at the reading material Derrick decided that it might be possible though once again it could be extremely unsafe.

Looking over at Blessed Virgin and Shelby he was n't sure enough Madonna would let him essay such a rescue again. Sighing he had to give birth to a greater extent self-colored facts and result than he did last time or there would be no going after the box. Derrick knew that cobbler's last fourth dimension 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 collection plate ? That had to block right now, without these ships there would n't be an conglomerate or the possibility of starting another.

Derrick called Zan and Conner advising them that they would be here a piece longer and he might need one of them to join them. Derrick started to act upon non-stop trying to adjust the molecular enhancer, finally 2 days later Derrick could see that the pattern of the twist and the box could be separated. The only problem he could see was the position of the enhancer, too close the charge went off, not close adequate and the charge would issue forth with the box destroying the ship it was transported into. Sleep deprived, weary beyond belief Derrick tried to force even harder finally getting the first prototype finished though he had to essay 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 trouble, would he care her to take care of
them ? Staring at Virgin Mary Derrick was having a intemperately time figuring out who she was.

'' Uh, '' He started, `` I 'm having trouble processing a good deal beyond this right now if they are hurting mass than yes stop them. '' Virgin Mary nodded she was starting to vex about the Saturnia pavonia, she 'd never seen one of them work like this man did.

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

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

'' Now then, '' Mary started again, `` I am authorized to let you to deform your selves in, minimal judgment of conviction and no former penalization. The alternative you saw, branded as enemies of the conglomerate you will be hunted the relaxation of your life sentence.
I 'll make you an hour to decide then I will commence punishment. ``

Looking in on Derrick Mary took Shelby aside, `` Shelby I am detecting that he is on the verge of collapse, he needs to stay. ``

'' I realize this Blessed Virgin but I have seen him like this before it is almost useless unless we stun him. I 'm not sure I am ready to present his anger. '' Shelby told The Virgin fear apparent on her face.

Smiling Blessed Virgin told Shelby not to occupy then walked into where Derrick was working.

`` Sire, '' Mary started, `` Unless you rest starting in 30 seconds under imperial beard authorization I will stun and restrain you 'til such time as you have recovered. ``

Derrick looked up from the twist on the bench, `` You would n't dare ! '' 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 mandates to lease natural action. '' Mary replied.

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

Sighing The Virgin over rode several system of rules on the ship, two small electrodes came out of the paries, Derrick saw them and still ignored them. Sighing again Mary told him, `` finally fourth dimension sire or you 'll wedge me to study action. '' Sighing again there was a small whine then both electrodes were live on as was the charge that shot out of them.

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

Shelby and Mary had mechanically skillful limb lifting Derrick's unconscious body and lightly depositing him in his make-shift bed. `` If he awakes and still has low readings advise me immediately, we have to make sure he stays goodly. '' Mary told Shelby.

The Virgin was back on the imperial planet the time was almost up for the resolution from the now 99 ships that had been causing trouble. Though she was also keeping an eye on Derrick she had to give matter gear up for him.

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

'' Shelby, '' The Virgin started, `` while he is in this state we should stop what you started in his mind. ``

Shelby nodded as they both delved into his mind though not as chaotic as before Shelby could see that very much had returned. Tracing all the way in, they soon found another seaport that the war had created, far deeper than Shelby had been before.

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

Lunging out Derrick slashed at Mary actually cutting her arm, amazed Shelby pushed Mary away as she stepped in front of Derrick. `` motion ! '' He shouted lunging this fourth dimension passing through Shelby. Grabbing his head she could see all the pain and hate that was contained there, then she saw even more revulsion then the stopping point time.

Derrick almost completely firm, Mary also reached out grabbing Derrick 's head. Screaming he began to thresh away trying to founder relieve of the two women that had an almost death grip on him.

'' Let me go if you destroy this shoes he will never be safety again, you have to stop. I 'll vote out you both for this, you think he loves you ? You think he trusts you ? Get actual ! Oh that 's right you are n't ! '' An almost immorality laugh escaped his lip as he tried harder and harder to get loose.

Finally with one last scream, he managed to sprain one arm loose again slashing at Shelby. As the chaos started to clear the Derrick that they both knew, was huddled in a box trembling, terrified to run.

Both women walked up to him each sat next to him both holding him. Derrick looked up
at the two holding him, kissing Madonna on the impudence then hugging her. Turning to Shelby he started to verbalise, `` Again you were here, thank you both, '' leaning in he kissed Shelby deeply and passionately, turning they all rose to pop off to the aerofoil .
