Derrick was moving through the access way toward the main segment of the shipyard. Ahead to his right stave sergeant-at-law Randall Jimison signaled to his left. serjeant-at-law first class Book of the Prophet Daniel Gregory John Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two sentry duty in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to hold them quietly no noise. Shaking his promontory he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiet down as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guard duty away with niggling to no haphazardness.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the chummy certificate door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a minute later the door clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any more guards. Shaking his point Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship railway yard had been infiltrated by some really bad lineament. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an burst on the raptus as it moved away from the ship grand.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hall. So far the scans had indicated thirty men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the written report had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the composite Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their sentry duty. ‘ Damn'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 following adjunction. might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Jessye Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the cobbler's last two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a minute as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the tape transport were being held. A simple ten minutes later they were well inside about to construct a movement when an alarm went off.

'' What 's with all the darn haphazardness ? '' A orotund man with several cicatrice on his older face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer well-nigh guard dead sir, '' came the voice of a untested sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the mongrel ! parting three here with me, ought to be adequate to control these mark pansies. '' The obvious leader 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 positions. Taking a deep breath Derrick knew that this next section was high-risk as it always was. Checking his repulser singlet he stepped out into the room.

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

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

Rushing toward the paries, the drawing card only heard the beginning then the arcsecond of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the way with a hole in it. A moment later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's dead whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one commission as the man was falling back with a kettle of fish in the side of his head.

Derrick ran out to check into on Shiloh and Ulysses S. Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their oral fissure hanging spread out. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

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

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

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the bulwark himself moving to a better perspective. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no subsister ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim answer.

'' glad to clean up the filth. '' Norman said with a smiling.

The next ten minutes could only be described as a origin bath 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 several well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long fourth dimension came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.

'' commandant ? '' Came the voice of battle of Shiloh.

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

'' Just wanted to let you know that we are secure. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were safe. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing replied.

'' married woman and four tike ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to see them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. damn it ! Why in the blaze had n't he thought that they might be married AND have children. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.

'' sure as shooting air force officer, we 've got a bit of 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, dependable then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lip. `` At to the lowest degree I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to converge the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' battle of Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm sword lily I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a hint of laughter in his vocalism. Looking up Derrick 's case was suddenly disconsolate as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so niggling sentence !

Turning toward both Jessye Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all hell shift loose. I really do n't want to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get absolved enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

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

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

'' Do we suffer to sir ? Ca n't we just economize them all ? '' Norman said with a grim aspect.

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

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

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

[ `` unspoiled get off them now. ] Derrick replied. On a defer following to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely lowly electronic part appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a enlighten signal for at to the lowest degree 200,000 kilometre. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to render minimum legal injury. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's nipper, and then a slender Asiatic 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 detest the cleaning lady. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the future few time of day are n't too much of a emphasis to you or your youngster. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the sixteen and fourteen year old sons of the cleaning lady. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever detest any of these offspring of battle of Pittsburgh Landing. Slyly he patted all three of the Male on the back as he moved toward where Shiloh and grant were in the command of the ship.

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

Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an time of day. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''

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

'' I know when Sir Thomas More than one stroke is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different counsel. the pits if I did n't have sex beneficial I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's insufferable as they both are stagnant. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men animated and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a region of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Grant and battle of Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to fit the kin. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some fine boys lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding battle of Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you cogitate of fiddling Shelly ? ''

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

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

'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our way of life cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to consider 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 exonerated. '' ] 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 abuse out of the ship hatching. `` It would only take a here and now ; do you really have to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six foot two inch height. `` I 'll meet her one day deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little girl tight, very fuddled understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a look of surprisal and worry on his face as he thanked the commanding officer. Hurrying past Derrick, battle of Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the nuclear reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commandant said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor room watching the engineer.

His hands on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the smell on her father 's human face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in fuss ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young lady ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told her with a gloomy feeling on his facial expression that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost sorry look Shelly 's face held was about to make battle of Pittsburgh Landing to laugh. He knew all her conjuring trick though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a good thing to deem over your head do n't you call up ? '' Gunter said a lowly smile small smile on his lips.

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

Shiloh was shaking his head as he touched the Shirley Temple curls on her school principal. `` Oh yeah ? '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said with his hand on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your mental lexicon and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! Come on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to depart. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the commanding officer 's finis Holy Scripture came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no affair what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't stimulate the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to maledict much a co-occurrence that the Commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his married woman. `` 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 feel. I have n't had one like this in a foresighted time last meter was with the commanding officer also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his married woman.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can get a line almost fear in your representative ! '' She replied.

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

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

Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a galvanize smell. Almost the Same thing that the Commander had said !

Making his way to the control room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an 60 minutes later when battle of Pittsburgh Landing looked over to Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then pass on.

'' storey bet dear, all hatch closed, all Navy SEAL estimable. No ruptures, no exit of standard atmosphere. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' subsidisation told him.

Shiloh was about to trip the engines when he noticed they were still a piddling close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put to a greater extent than a mere thousand Kilometers between us and the place. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown quantity push coming from the post. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' President Grant told him.

Something was nagging at Shiloh 's encephalon more as he watched them bulge to finally drop off further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger command. This is transport R-00101. Do you understand me Ranger bidding ? ''

A moment later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repeat you -- - -- - high -- -- - area. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signaling.

'' dictation we we 're attacked by pirate. Please transport helper to old infinite yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Cary Grant said. `` Crap ca n't seem to get through. speculation we need to get further away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for locomotive control battle of 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 control chairman. bedamn it he hated to hold back like this ! `` Time ? ''

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

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

'' I am having difficulty retrieving the finale two ! sire I am afraid I am going to mislay them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the control 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 postulate at least a week to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

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

Shelby 's eyes had rip in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT organization together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred pct, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one XXX five. Now at one L. ''

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

Derrick looked at Shelby as split started to fall from her heart. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no more. I can feel the system starting to go bad. ''

Derrick heard a remote plosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you very well ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT scheme has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my organization. I 'm afraid I will let to regen for a fourth dimension. I 'm gloomy I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with rent in her optic then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the base near him. Shining bright a present moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine twelvemonth old fille.

The female child struggled out of his weapons system as she started to cry then tried to wake her father up. `` Daddy, please come alive up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering again delight daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the slight girl asked, `` Can you please facilitate my daddy ? He 's scathe ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` hospital now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the minuscule lady friend staring at the spot 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 look.

'' Of grade Mister, '' the niggling miss said as a strange feel came over her expression. `` It 's a place for the care of the infirm, vomit up, or injured ; infirmary or adeptness serving as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be convention though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please follow 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 daddy going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as pappa was reaching to do something with the command. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really unknown. ''

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

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly travel. A small girl 's giggle drew his attending to the other face of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally alive ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the little little girl threw her arms around the man as crying of joy started to come from her eyes. `` I was so scared 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 face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite imperial protector ships ! ''

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

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

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

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to ascend then battle to get loose. `` No, not a captive though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few time myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very occupy Gunter asked.

'' I 'm fine pop ; the see through man checked me and said I was in fantabulous wellness. '' 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 suspiration Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me lieutenant. '' 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 please get her to stop 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 living Artificial intelligence information of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please stop passing your hand 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 dismount arena as an intervention pattern of seemingly random variations in the opacity, density, or open profile of the photographic mass medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young lady friend. `` Yes I am miss Shelly. Do you have questions ? ''

Still with a unknown look on her face she asked, `` Are you generated via lens and optical maser ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a protrusion contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no issue what the light is in the way. I can be made with lens and lasers though they are unrefined and faulty. ''

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

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the petty lady friend. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got large. `` We have to get her to exclude that area of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will shoot down her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a exit for the inaugural metre in a retentive time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

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

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

Softly at first then they all saw the tears start from her eyes they heard. `` daddy ? Daddy ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her father as she threw her arms around him. The merely sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her Father-God 's bureau.

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 wide-cut analysis of her. Find out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Grant walked in. `` You honorable let his wife out soon or we 're going to have a BIG trouble with that little charwoman. She damn near took my chief off ! ''

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

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

Grant snapped to care then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or affair ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ come in here to state me to loosen I am either going to violently vote down them or put a mess in the wall.'Unquote. ''

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

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

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

A present moment later a rather raging Asian char walked in with three boys. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE sin is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly tears started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring encompassing eyed at the medical room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to get hold a way to help Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is potential. She is the exclusively girl I have or will ever have. I damned near break down having her I can never cause kid again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another beat of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's impudence telling him give thanks you as she went to her daughter
