Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouthpiece open. They had a prisoner certain, though a naked female ? What in the hell on earth were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his back talk then he slapped his case. anathemize it Johnathon, now is n't the time to recollect about that !
Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.
Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit ! The female was still naked !
'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.
'' Why ? She 's a female person, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why annoyance with it. Since you 're here though, you can handle it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the threshold to smirk at her blood brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can handle it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.
Hartwell again shook his straits as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, composition ! ``
Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely atomic number 8 deprived. She was also at the start of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be able to heal that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen loss might have caused. ``
'' trade good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.
'' Yes, Admiral prime ? '' Johnathon replied.
'' Do something about her not wearying clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his head, he and the team had been through hell, horror men should n't see and birth survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the struggle field, pissing his knickers. All because of a nude female ? Face it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.
Derrick was about to bring a boozing when his wrist comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright Admiral ? '' he asked.
'' I am good-for-naught to disturb you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.
Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's wrong, did you have to shoot down them ? ``
'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female person. What in the nether region do you expect me to do with a naked ... On bit view do n't serve that. '' Hartwell said with a aspect of chagrin on his face.
'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.
'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a sprightliness capsule with a brain box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.
Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a pocket-sized girl and boy began to run set around him and Shelby chasing each other.
Derrick bent down to secernate the obviously fighting duo. `` present it back to me ! '' The little girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only shake off his head.
'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a brass at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.
The footling girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister gracious man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the young lady, she leaned into Derrick voicelessness. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through dame. ``
'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.
Derrick could n't hold back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My dear Shelly, it is always a pleasance to see you. ''
A mo later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm bad sire, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``
Derrick gave Mika a huge smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to experience all of you here. ``
Mika 's fount dropped a here and now as she asked quietly, `` Still no Christian Bible on when Gunter gets back ? ``
Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to cause another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``
'' I really hope so sire. The boys and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his married woman. '' Mika told him.
'' I know Mika, remember he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the worried woman. ‘ They better make it back alive, I do n't crack my word and I do n't want to start now.'
Mika was nodding her oral sex, `` I just wish that there was n't all this secrecy. ``
Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``
Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an abashed looking on his face. `` At the present time, I am afraid that it is necessary. ``
'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the future that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a determined look on her face.
At the border of the Galaxy three small craft suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupier was doing all he could to stay on course.
'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this vertebral column to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the other two.
'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that shut phone call near the Tendrax family world. '' One of the other ship's occupants replied.
'' Still they were n't as scary as the Cregons or those blasted Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't attack him. '' The damaged ship man said.
'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a very imprint. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want to mate with you ! '' The other ship occupier said.
'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male person I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.
'' I 'm not so surely, '' the first ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an dire lot. ``
'' messiah ! You 're getting Thomas More and Sir Thomas More double-dyed the closer to abode we get. looking, just let it send away and we 'll forget that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian squad car. '' The damaged ship man replied.
'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having control board problems ! '' The number one ship man said.
The second and damaged send men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.
The first ship man started to curse when he saw the recitation. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a braggart effect than you at first thought. ``
'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a time soma for their penetration of the galactic boundary. ``
'' compliancy, '' the bare A.I. of the minor damaged ship replied. `` At present hurrying they will get through the boundary of the Galax urceolata within two hebdomad, six days. At present CAT scan ineffectual to find the turn of ships. ``
'' Can you, with selective information provided, generalize the possible size of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.
'' Now attempting to generalize an result. At present, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown factors to consider with electric current information. If this is a marriage challenge political party than the number could be as high as 50 to seventy grand. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as forty thou. '' The A.I. droned.
'' You said there were three unknown factors, what of the tierce ? '' The first shipman asked.
'' Now working on that. According to datum that was supplied for the third factor. If this is a war company then the number could be as eminent as, one hundred thou. '' The A.I. answered.
'' Shit ! Damn it ! All you had to do was make Nice, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and damn near kill it ! '' The maiden ship man said.
'' We 're going to receive to break communication silence. I do n't need to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The first of all ship man said.
'' Neither do I. '' The second ship man stated.
'' What ! ? You want me to confront his ira ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to tell him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.
With a suspire the other two nodded as the first opened a comm. `` Like it really matter, he 'd know they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``
For half an minute he tried to send a signal to no help. Picking up what appeared to be a prominent fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive detritus orbit. Here at the back end of it there were genuine recognizable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no sprightliness mark at all.
All three of the male could only gaze with their mouths open. The playing field had to be thousands of kilometers longsighted and panoptic. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?
'' Scan the present debris field. Can you determine what character of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.
'' Scanning now, CAT scan confirming identity of ship wreckage. All department that are intact indicate that they are leftover of a very expectant Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by heights temperatures and thermic radiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.
'' Thermic ? Are there any remains of EIG ships present tense within the wreckage ? '' The male asked.
'' Affirmative, at demo, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG life condensation. Though none are alive, they are all giving off indications that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.
'' I wondered why so many berth were empty when we went by there. They must birth come after the EIGs hard if the EIGs used thermic artillery. Yeah, I think we ALL have to ring him. Mad or not if he does n't know he 'll be glad to get a numeration. '' The inaugural ship man said.
'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The mo ship man said.
Another warning device started to go off as all three turned to look at the indication. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon energy detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon Energy will cause a degenerative essence to the Criteria particles causing unsuccessful person within the scheme. ``
All three of the male looked at each other shaking their heads. No wonder they could n't communicate.
'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp arrangement ? '' The first ship man asked.
'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp system is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.
'' How long before we can safely mesh the system ? '' The first ship man asked.
'' At give speed, six hours, twenty three min to pass over the junk field. Then another fifteen minutes to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.
This of course drew a groan from all three of the male person. tinker's damn, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an hour. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of alarm system go off.
look over the readings all three were stunned to see that they were picking up sprightliness sign. They were faint, though they were there.
'' You know. we really do n't have meter for this. '' The second ship man said.
Sighing the first ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't think I could live with myself. ``
The other two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.
Hartwell was at his humour end, the female person was still unconscious, though all med scan said she was hunky-dory. Leaving her there he started for the bridgework, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.
Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited telephone call from Saint Thomas. `` Admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the distributor point of irritation.
'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Lowell Jackson Thomas to back away a moment.
'' Sorry sir, did n't mean to urinate in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.
'' Whatever, what do you sustain to account ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool down off.
'' I wanted to let you know, we have backbreaking activity within that area where the shield is. '' Thomas the doubting Apostle said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''
Hartwell nodded as he thought a consequence. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A instant later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's planet. `` Alright show me. ``
Saint Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing St. Thomas stated, `` all indications are, that backbreaking machinery is being located just outside this clarification. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking recitation within, nearly insufferable. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to watch. ''
Hartwell nodded as he looked at the country closer. hoot, if he did n't know, that area, looked a lot like the seat near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to play there as tike. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of plans of the Sami area. Plans that were below the aerofoil well within a cave system.
'' Does the shield extend through the earth ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.
Confused a few seconds Thomas stared a second, then a wide smile broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now full admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a bit then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the surface. ``
Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several more than maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the slope of a hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right field that goes through to the inside of the shield. ``
Norman Mattoon Thomas excited was looking over the plans as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything useful through is it ? ``
'' Just a lot of the fire warden, especially the I that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the precondition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``
'' Yes sir, full admiral Prime. maitre d' Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as severe as initiatory view. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel William Harrison Dempsey will take at least another day. ``
Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``
'' well sir, Colonel Dempsey would have been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at least another day. '' Celeste informed him.
Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to bankrupt through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the quandary that Manassa Mauler was now in.
Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his mind was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the sense of humor in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.
Between his gasps for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his mouth three stage set of alert went off.
'' warning signal ! Alert ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic bounds. They appear to be on a direct route to the last battle. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' Johnathon asked.
Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.
'' Have you received any communication ? Have they made contact in any way ? '' Derrick asked.
'' At present sir, we ca n't get a incontrovertible id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the scheme. They moved across the bound a short time ago. trace sir ? '' Hartwell asked.
'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that vast field of residuum ripalon vigor, we do n't hazard sending any ships, 'til we can meliorate shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell
Hartwell was nodding his agreement as he watched the three ships move across his silver screen. Was this a prelude to another encroachment ? Like the commandant said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.
Shaking his head, Hartwell was beginning to think it was going to be a bad day. A few minutes later Johnathon was taking readings in the med bay, when the female groaned.
Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female started to call. Hartwell could only shake his head as he watched on the view screen.
'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.
Jonathon appeared with a stunned feeling on his face. `` Apparently Admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my aid. When her hand made touch with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to make her screech louder. ``
Hartwell sighed, then took a step toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really necessary ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.
The female person flick toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to commence operations. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``
master sir ? What in the hell was she on about ?
Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.
The female looked at Hartwell through her tear confused, `` Crying Godhead sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``
'' What you 're doing from your center. '' Hartwell told her.
The distaff cast her oculus down, then the tears started to come faster. `` I am lamentable noble sir. I did not think of to waste liquid in front man of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``
'' penalisation ? What in the hell do you signify ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female cringe back from him.
'' I am wasting something Lord sir. However you wish to penalize me, I will accept. It is after all your right as a male person. '' The female told him.
Hartwell 's oral fissure dropped capable as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the gravid load of hoot I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his activity as the female started to shake violently.
Without raising her optic the female person whispered, `` When you kill me Lord sir, could you delight make it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``
This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from fear, more from the extreme ira he was feeling. What the hell kind of multitude were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep his pettishness under control.
Barely keeping his interpreter low he stated, `` I am not going to kill you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``
The distaff slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Almighty sir, I am in a regime aesculapian situation. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many More effective breeding long time in me. ``
Hartwell 's oculus went astray as he stared at the female in incredulity. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a subdivision of the table off that he had ahold of.
As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the Empire. This is a regular medical bay of that ship. ``
The female person tentatively asked her lip trembling, `` The imperium that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even more afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are percentage of the barbarian hoard that has destroyed so many. ''
'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouthpiece. `` Not as barbaric as your people, to aggress with so many ships ! boor would n't come in as big a force if they did n't mean to occupy. ''
'' Lord sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our ego. We ... '' The female started.
'' You were in our beetleweed ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.
'' I am gloomy Lord sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We females do not usually know of such affair. We are seldom allowed to find out such, let alone lie with of them. '' The female whispered her caput as low as she could get it.
Hartwell was stunned at this turn of case. Sighing he looked away from the female person. curse it, was going to be a long few next days.
William Hartwell was doing all he could to keep his uncle Trent from exploding. The idiots that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammunition. His center all-embracing, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.
'' Did you finally manage to get those idiots to get it here ? Trent asked.
'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a dependable while. They said they took what you said literally. You said land up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.
Trent River shook his head, `` Dear god, how in the hell are they still alive ? You 'd cerebrate that they were smarter than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to explode again if he did n't calm him.
'' I guess they were hiding a lot better than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.
'' That 's about the only if thing they are. '' Trent grumbled.
Both men stepped back as the artillery was moved into position. River Trent smiled with an almost gleeful feeling on his face. `` Fire ! Blow the hell out of that place, plus the whoreson in there ! '' Trent yelled.
Inside the bunker the mark face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial Word of God heavy bodily function was detected.
He 'd note a buildup of personnel department out there, he also had a bad touch watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to wee a retreat, NOW ! '' The drawing card was yelling.
All of the rest of the men were close behind the leader and Duke as they left the building. Less than ten seconds after they left it, the bunker exploded.
The concussion of the first hit, knocked all of them off their feet. The leader was up with the Duke over his berm as a second base blast hit a little further back. Cursing, the loss leader took off as he heard several of his men scream, then nothing.
Trent River was watching a read out as the beginning of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the indorsement and third caught a few of those trailing.
'' Son of a bitch ! '' Trent was yelling as he saw that of the two in front, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the prick was injured, at least it looked that way. 'Bout time that ass got back some of the pain he 'd been giving for years.
Trent was about to send men after them, when there was a hurly burly at the back of the camp. `` Get a squad ready to go. '' He was saying when a vocalization next to him shocked him.
'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't hold out long at all. '' The voice told him.
River Trent and William were reaching for their gunslinger when they were shocked to see an average height, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the inferno are you ? ''
The man held out his manus as he stated. `` headwaiter, Saint David Greeson of the Imperial especial forces. '' Shaking both men 's manus they both looked at each early shocked.
'' How in the hell did you get in here ? We have watches posted all over the situation. '' William replied.
Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as good as I am. So, as I said let me and my squad go. Those are from a sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``
Trento was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the hand of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the vernal man had said.
'' imperial peculiar violence ? Then the emperor is cognizant of our state of affairs ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Emperor is here ? ``
Greeson took a cryptic breath as he stated, `` Well not here on the major planet. It seems that he had to get married, so he went back to the imperial beard home macrocosm. The repose of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``
William watched the unit conversation still not completely confident. `` How are we to know that you are n't just a plant by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''
William was suddenly a foot off the trading floor. `` I am in no way an evil, glory seeking ass ! Do not prepare the error thought we are like them. '' Dropping William with a clunk, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been dead at least 30 mo ago. ``
William adjusted his clothes as he nodded his correspondence. `` I apologize I ... ''
Greeson held up his hand to stop William. `` I am not here to pain you, rather to help. Besides I am indisputable that SHE would be pretty roiled if I did hurt you. ``
William and Trent were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.
'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent River asked.
Greeson turned toward Trent as he very seriously looked the male directly in the eyes. `` Why Miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's sassing dropped open, even as a wide grin bed covering across Greeson 's. `` She works for the emperor butterfly now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most important multitude in the Empire. ``
Greeson was smiling even all-inclusive as both males seemed to be struck silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.
William finally found his part then sank to his genu. Tears were starting to fall as he stated, `` She 's live ? My god she 's alive ! ''
