Derrick was n't happy, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get matter done. All this gaudery and crap was starting to hold out really thin on his patience. He 'd just released part of the shell around the castle but was n't fix to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threat out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the early handwriting was thrilled to no destruction to have human body within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 old age. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few hours later, `` What did your command say about all the validation that we provided them ? ''

'' That 's the thing, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed well-nigh of it, they told me to maintain radio blackout. I guess they are also afraid that bid has been inundated with spy. I had always thought that program line was the one place that would n't have undercover agent, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was wrongly. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of fourth dimension to pass through the ranks. I had Mary relay a message to the top policeman about the tests that we have designed. I 'll let them know the results as soon as we test it out on that one bunch extremity. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this test was going to be as terminal as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that happy about having a spy on display board, though the view of losing a crew member did n't appeal to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

Thinking, Derrick was at a loss a here and now, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an melodic theme, first we 'll bring her here then ... ''

1st specialist ensign Callie stared at the huge elbow room that she was in. What a complete waste of space and money she thought walking around the stool way. Shaking her heading she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this assigning ; she was a technical school specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the prat admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a magniloquent man with sandy blond hair and disconsolate browned eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to make for sure that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a determined gait now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female person Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally thank you for your ..., '' Derrick started.

Callie pulled the weapon from her scoop and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the throne, the nobleman will never let you dominate ! '' Then to her horror the beam of the weapon passed through the Emperor striking the land where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the ground the surprise still on her face.

Derrick appeared a moment later, `` take her to the interrogation way I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to tape all of this. '' There was a flourish of natural action while the young woman was transported to the aforementioned elbow room. Derrick watched as The Virgin attached several simpleness and began scanning the woman looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found nothing, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to get hold all style of hidden weapons, poison, and right micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that various more CAT scan that he 'd added to Virgin Mary 's repertoire of psychometric test still had n't been used. Again as Mary started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the conceal armoury began to steadily grow.

A few transactions later Derrick nodded when the go of the conceal weapon system were taken off. Shaking his chief Derrick knew he had his study cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to appear across the elbow room mo later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injectant. With a groan the young fair sex 's oculus fluttered open.

'' fundament Admiral, what is going on, '' came her galvanise question.

'' wellspring you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two camarilla that wish to eliminate the emperor moth. '' Hartwell told her a slender growling to his voice. Derrick smiled then nodded to Virgin Mary who started an odd green shaft of light on the woman 's question.

At first goose egg happened then the woman 's brass twisted into a sadistic smile. A different voice soon erupted from her oral cavity. `` So your silly, antediluvian tech detected me after all, so this will be an genuine challenge after all. how-do-you-do you mechanically skillful kick ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that aught will phase you, at least not 'til she is all in. ''

'' As you suspected father, the political platform would ingest had me administer a lethal amount of money of irradiation. All levels are never-ending, you may proceed my master. '' The Virgin told Derrick a moment later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your little triumph ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the clip to ... '' Looking at Derrick the woman 's face twisted into craze. `` You will learn nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your story of ... ''

'' Who ordered the death penalty ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will respond me now or get pain unlike any you have ever known. We can extract you and simply drain what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the voice coming from the untried woman.

'' You would n't make bold, even if you had the capability, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A large arm came out of the bulwark with a set of antediluvian headphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the womanhood 's head.

The vocalism began to express joy, `` You have n't the guts to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary, as the flow began to flow through the equipment an eerie scream began to issue from the adult female 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible full point ! You 're killing me ! ''

smiling Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're dead any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''

The woman 's brass twisted into another mask of rage as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving Republic scum ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soul meat. Well in a way all the annoyance that you feel in death will. Well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the articulation then moved off as the fair sex 's paw produced another weapon and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, alright Mary no more. ''

Mary nodded with a little smiling on her lips as electric current again flowed through the equipment. This clip the vocalism screamed even gimcrack for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to start a reign as Emperor he thought.

'' Alright Mary, '' Derrick said as the holograph of him disappeared and he reappeared across the room near the doorway. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not have got much time. I will exhibit all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' Mary told Derrick with a pocket-sized smile on her face.

Pulling a small blueish disk from a protector in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby time slot. `` The Virgin syllabus rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, smidgin, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... forefather ? Is this the finale of it ? '' Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only destroy about another 10 % of the program, I estimate that we have eradicated 87 % of it now. '' Derrick told her.

'' No Sire I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to death has been delayed another 2 age. The remainder of the computer programme will reach my effect in another 10 yr. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in only calendar month, I now believe that you will completely pass me soon. '' Large snag were falling from Mary 's middle, `` give thanks you sire, you have given this unit a chance to exist again. '' Here Mary bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to judder his head in frustration.

'' Virgin Mary is there any way that we can organize her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a fine officer and I 'd detest for the commando to lose her. '' Derrick asked Blessed Virgin a few instant later as he looked down on the young woman.

'' I believe that the political platform you were working on earlier just might work, though I could go in and fortify her mind. I am afraid that it would take a few days though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Blessed Virgin, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the cabinet and started typing at blinding speed again. Those in the room backed up a considerable distance as they all watched Derrick with open sassing. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really zero new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for The Virgin to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes Sire, '' came Mary 's reply as she started to incorporate all of the new curriculum Derrick had just written. `` Going over all CAT scan now, I am picking up anomalous energy readings right before the weapon was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can boost her mind to the spot that she can hold out them without trying. Though I must caution Sire, they will know that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a present moment, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their agent were ever caught ? Stepping back to the cabinet Derrick started to typecast for several moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to shroud it, not the substantially but I think it will lick. At least 'til it 's too late for the soul source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new data point that Derrick had entered, yes it was potential an existent challenge for her. Smiling, she was starting to think that this man would be the greatest emperor moth of all, though he still had to get the rest of the empire to devolve in line.

1st specializer national flag Callie awoke an hour later with an tremendous concern. Trying to surface off the soft cot ... no time lag she was in a bed ? ! What in the Hades was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her head feeling as if the world was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking womanhood with grey pilus watching her.

'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a import later.

'' I am Madonna ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the cleaning lady sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the toilet room then I saw the emperor. I felt such rage then an almost giddiness at the thought of killing him then nothing 'til I awoke here. What in the sin is going on ? '' The all-inclusive eyed and almost panicked cleaning lady said. She 'd remembered the execution and was afraid that she was following in line for the same.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the religious sect. One sect that wishes to remove the emperor butterfly before he can enact laws to rid the beetleweed of them. '' Mary told the now shaking woman.

'' What is to suit of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what punishment will I face ? '' The shaking woman asked having backed into a corner truly afraid that she 'd never again see the spark of day.

'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the Emperor explain. '' Mary told the womanhood.

A second later a hologram of the same tall, sandy blond hair and obscure John Brown eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` Hello Callie, I am Saturnia pavonia Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a mission that I think you would be extremely interested in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am nothing a nobody. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Blessed Virgin. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A hologram ? '' A all-embracing smiling Derrick finished for her causing her backtalk to drop undefendable. `` True due to ... uh circumstance and respective hundred protocols, I can not be there at this moment but trust me this is interactional. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only nodding, her admiration at the hologram grabbing almost all her attention.

'' Anyway we have a missionary work that I feel will get off a message to the sects. I will not charge you without your consent but they will find you and try to draw out what they put in your head. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an hour to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is aught to adopt out they will down you. So young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her foreland Derrick said, `` Ok residue and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in need of a meal ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very fine chef who can take a crap whatever you request to get your strength back. ''

Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the holograph DID say that she could give whatever she wanted.

Derrick sat a moment thinking of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost prison term for the side by side ship 's emergence. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a full time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist, `` time to emergence ? ''

'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few hours Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.

'' Alright IMT, '' within seconds Derrick was on the bridge. All the transport holograms appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand up safety over 1000, I know that you will hold her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the full I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.

'' Conner I need you to come with Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signals I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.

'' Yes your Lordship it is an honour. '' Conner replied bowing low.

'' Tempro I need you to stay here and put up livelihood for Zan only if it is necessary. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes father, I will endeavor to help protect them both if necessary. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.

'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinates to Conner. ''

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar confidential information up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the galaxy. Shaking her head she knew she was in for a truly epic reign by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a galactic rim scheme. `` Shelby can you find any life out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scans now, the third and last globe of this system has an area I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few bit later. `` Switching energy now, I am getting recitation though something is starting to inflect the buckler. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A moment later a clap hit the buckler effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, damage report ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No price, no direct hit sire, '' Conner told him.

'' No structural wrong, the blast had insufficient vigour to cause any price. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a word of advice. As the blast was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more power than what we just witnessed. An efficacious word of advice to say the least Derrick, monastic order on how to proceed ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a second then replied, `` unfold a groove Shelby let me verbalize to who is down there, maybe we can kick in a little warning of our own. ''

Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All fix Derrick. ''

'' To the unsung attacker, this is Emperor O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a Superior forcefulness. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick oral communication was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, emperor butterfly, or whomever you are to move on, this is restricted space and I will use deadly military force to fight down it. '' The vocalisation shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the same hot drumhead he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was adjacent. `` So Rayb still as much a hot school principal as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that close ? Could verify you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to operate onto Rayburn the moment he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a moment later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that damnable word ... Ray..b. What the hell is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the control chair. `` COMMANDER ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still alive ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a savage hug. `` Damn it sir ! We were all told that you were dead ! ''

Shelby appeared a bit later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive material body up of energy from his residence I am afraid that it will go critical if no activity is taken. ''

Rayburn 's backtalk dropped open as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a projection within a ego contained system of a three-dimensional image ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the survive one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our current problem ? ''

'' Can you gist a closedown of the organisation ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will do a monolithic king feedback destroying half of the major planet. Just fall the input great power to the 5 central nodes ; that should picture the system in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would suffer discovered that fact 2.3 seconds too late. '' Shelby told the jump man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced artificial intelligence. '' Rayburn fell to his articulatio genus, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like halt here for an protract catamenia of time ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the backrest, `` I felt quite the same way Rayburn, though I must caution against trying to pry too far. ''

'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the hologram of Shelby.

'' They do n't like anyone probing too far in their retentiveness electrical circuit they can put up quite a nasty shock. '' Derrick told the man with a smile. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.

'' Are you sure you are Commander O'Toma ? He never seemed to read what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experimentation that had almost killed him.

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human being cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his head mumbling to his self. `` VII buffers yes, synchronize electrical condenser, overload drain good, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no backup in case of main loser ! You are one lucky son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could get cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a moment then began to smile, damn he was glad that Rayburn was on board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I count on you ? I need a trouble shooter like you in the new conglomerate. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the longest clock time then tears began to slowly decline from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a firmly time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have me around. Are you sure you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a type of delayed PTSD it is n't like what most have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can turn extremely violent, are you really certain sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the problem he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hellhole hole. We got him out and he, for effective choice of Bible is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help you without much trouble, Mary ? ''

A instant later the hologram of Mary appeared, `` Yes Sire ? ''

'' I need you to scan Rayburn here, narrate me if his condition is curable. '' Derrick told the holograph.

Rayburn 's mouth dropped capable, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not possible. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipage Derrick had been using a few days before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.

'' sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a moment the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to come along again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose look registered jounce then he slumped to the deck of cards.

'' Really, your Lordship you have to cease putting yourself in these situations ! '' Mary told Derrick shaking her finger at him as if she would a tiddler. `` Sire it is extremely unmanageable to protect you if you are out here so much. ''

'' Just rake Rayburn and see if we can resort the price that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A small rectangular shaped light panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie light-green beam that swept back and forth across the man 's head. A few minutes later the illumination panel retreated, `` I have finished father. It appears that this man has a high gear commonwealth of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will subscribe at least three treatments. I am sad Sire, but his higher electric resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Mary, there is no demand to apologize, the dewy-eyed fact that these men can be healed is in its self a small miracle. ''

'' No Sire, no miracle just a science that seems to have been lost over the one C that the imperium has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to gauge his reaction.

'' We really need to bring the empire back to what it was Madonna. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for nil. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Mary was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is wrong Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Madonna started, `` embody all that the inaugural emperor did. I am so very proud to be able to serve another man as great as he was forefather. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right. This Empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by petty greed and jealously. All the affair I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his head drifted back to the past for a few proceedings.

On display panel Tempro the short cropped blond hair, medium physique man, with a placid font was worried. So far none of the experiment had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Mary was n't going to be glad he 'd assay all 100,000 tissue sampling that he had, nothing had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the last, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

The Virgin appeared a few moments later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to go through a slight interruption down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so drab my son, I did not mean to have you such hurting. I know that the experimentation all failed but I have gone over all the data point and I think I am beginning to see a figure. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Mary then the tears started. `` I am so no-count mother that I have failed so lots. A figure female parent ? '' Nodding Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the samples so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to go bad.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any house of bankruptcy. Smiling this time he 'd view all the indicators and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Mary it made things a unscathed lot leisurely when the body had no real consciousness or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a opportunity to follow ; unfortunately they would have to sustain Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor butterfly.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the synodic month of the imperial world. Derrick was preparing to go back to the palace when Zan called.

'' Yes Zan is everything alright ? '' Derrick said.

'' Yes Sire, I thought you would care to know my wing mate is ready. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest add-on to the fleet.

'' Yes Sire, '' A new, slender, long true brown haired teenage appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the impulse to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to babble to all the A.I. 's about appearing naked ).

'' I 'm not for certain if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the gens that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new holograph.

Still bowing the youthful teen nodded, `` Yes father it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled proud of that this was going as well as it was.

Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry Sire. ''

Derrick 's mouth dropped agape, holy dirt he had n't expected this !
