'' Thaddeus ! No ! '' Shelby gasp out. `` Please son, there 's no need to do this. We will happen them all. '' Shelby was begging.

Tears were now starting to pelt down Lucie 's face as she was also listening to what was being said. `` NO ! '' She suddenly yelled.

Shelby also had tears in her eye as she said, `` You have been out here alone for so long, please come abode to me. ``

Both started to object then were suddenly quiet as Shelby watched the box as it started to drift away. Turning toward Derrick she could n't look up from the floor.

'' I 'm sorry Derrick, Thaddeus refuses to come aboard. He says he can not 'til he knows that they all are safe. I can not pressure him. '' Shelby told Derrick her face still turned to the floor.

Derrick could only shake off his principal. There was dedication and then there was damned dedication. In this slip he 'd have to reserve his opinion.

'' Alright Shelby, I want a marker on him. If we are to leave him here, I want to make sure that we can come back for him. '' Derrick told her.

A smile appeared on her typeface as she rapidly hurried to carry out Derrick 's book of instructions. A moment later a low tracking device shot out of Shelby hooking to the newly released box. With a last snag in her eye Shelby turned toward Derrick even as the ship turned away from the box.

Shelby was on the storey beside an almost shatter Lucie. `` I tried to convince him to come with us. He would n't listen to me. Why ? After being out here so long why ? ``

'' I have no answer for you my dear. I assume it has something to do with accolade I 'm not sure. '' Looking up at Derrick she could see the look of painfulness and pride on his face.

Taking a deep breath Derrick took another moment to speak. `` Get the 6th one Shelby. Then we can commence on the succeeding eight. The faster we can get them the faster we can all be together. '' Turning away from the two females, neither saw him curse under his breath.



Both Kimison and Rayburn were in their racks not long after their visit with Derrick. Almost an minute later Kimison jerked awake something was bothering him. Getting up he went to where he and Rayburn had been working.

'' Good even commanding officer. '' Tempro greeted him when he turned the ignitor on. `` Can I be of assistance ? ``

'' Something has been bothering me since commandant Rayburn 's incident. I need to go over the logarithm of what transpired. '' Kimison ordered.

'' Yes sir, now brining up all recording and datum. Are you looking for something specific sir ? Something I might be able-bodied to help you discern ? '' Tempro asked.

'' If I knew I would propose you. For right now I am trying to square off why he shut off almost all the safeties. '' An hour later Kimison was starting to get frustrated. `` What in the pit had you so worried that you shut them all off ? perdition, half of them though not all of them, maybe ... ''

Kimison stopped, looking behind him, as he thought Tempro was keeping a very close eye on him. Damn it, now that he knew, how was he going to test the theory ?

Scrolling through a few more screen, Kimison would type a command then move on. Almost another hour later an alarm sounded then immediately shut off.

'' Warning ! Warning ! Instability in A.I. personality matrix. Warning, all A.I. functions shutting down to re-boot. '' Came Tempro 's voice.

Kimison shook his head who knew that the Lapplander broadcast from Celeste would work on here. He only had a few minutes at most as he started to rapidly type more complex functions on the screen. Finally finished, he donned the head set, then hit the activation button.

It was n't an alarm, Tempro nor anything palpable that caused Rayburn to jerk awake. It was a feeling of incredible pain in his head. He almost made it to the door of the work lab when it increased.

'' The Virgin ! TEMPRO ! '' He was yelling as he fell through the doorway way. Mary appeared immediately though strangely Tempro was remove. The next affair he noticed, was that Kimison was screaming at the top of his voice.

'' Can you shut it down ? '' Rayburn asked.

'' Attempting now, it appears that my son is in re-boot. I am afraid he wo n't be any help for two minutes. '' Mary stated.

Rayburn nodded as he ran for the main console. Bringing up the headset control he cursed when he saw that Kimison had almost the accurate scene that he had before. `` Clearing a track, now beginning descent. ``

A bit later the machine shut down as Rayburn ran to where Kimison was prone on the deck.

A consequence later Kimison 's eyes open as he stared at Rayburn. `` A modified sigma zip variance can not be maintained if the energy of the intercellular substance is not adjusted accordingly. packet of two GiB can be added with such adjustment. ``

Rayburn was writing as fast as he could. That was the one way he had n't been sure of. `` You idiot ! Are you actually trying to fry your Einstein ? What in the hell got into you ? ``

In a barely whispered representative Kimison stated, `` I know you moron. I saw what you did only took me a slight longsighted. I ... '' Rayburn could only excite his head as Kimison 's eyes rolled up into his promontory then he was unconscious.

Sighing, Rayburn nodded, he had n't thought anyone would find what he had. `` Better let the Emperor know. I 'm getting him back to his feed bunk. Then I 'm going to slumber myself. ``

A now re-booted Tempro nodded to his female parent then she was gone. `` Would you like assistant sir ? '' Tempro asked. `` I wish to apologize to you sir. He caught me completely unaware. ``

'' No need to apologize Tempro, we both know he is far impertinent than he lets on. '' Here Rayburn shook his nous, `` A Scheol of a lot smarter. ``



Three fourths of the length to the imperial beard world from where the engagement had taken property, full admiral Hartwell was having problems of his own. It seemed that the female he 'd started calling Bee was still having an aversion to clothing.

'' You have to break them where we are going. '' Hartwell told her again.

'' NO ! They are an detestation ! Please master, Please do not make me weary them ! '' Bee pleaded.

Taking a deep breath Hartwell thought to pick out a different road. `` You said that you are mine, sort out ? ``

Bee looked at him with narrowed center then slowly replied, `` Yes lord sir, I am yours. This is the law after all. ``

'' Then, you should not be disobeying my orders correct ? '' Hartwell stated hoping that this worked.

'' Yes, noble sir, though, '' Here Bee lowered her head. `` Though you have n't made a direct claim to me either. Until such prison term, I have to obey your orders though, not pertaining to interaction between us. ``

'' So, you 're telling me, you will obey me as long as it 's not personal. '' Hartwell said a feeling of dread creeping into him.

With a shiny smiling Bee nodded her pass emphatically. This of course caused Hartwell to groan again.

'' So, the fact that I have not claimed you means that, you do n't birth to do all I say ? '' Hartwell said the dread starting to grow larger.

'' You are a very impudent master, lord sir, many do not gain that knowledge for a farsighted period of time. '' Bee stated a slender smile on her face seeing Hartwell with a face of confusion on his face.

Finally, with a groan Hartwell threw up his hands, `` So, no matter what, you wo n't jade them unless I claim you. '' Hartwell 's eyes narrowed as he stared at Bee. These females appeared to be far smarter than he 'd given them credit.

'' No overlord Sir, I will not. No matter where we go, no female is allowed to handle themselves. Only when we have been bred, are we ever demanded by society to cover ourselves. '' Bee related as if every day information.

Hartwell issued a slight growl from his pharynx. He had to convert the commandant to announce war on these idiots.



On the duke 's major planet, Willian and Trent Hartwell had finally helped the terminal of Greeson 's men to the cave.

They had finally sat down to relax after the long day. Neither had eaten having to help constrain all the prisoner that went up to the ships. Both had just lifted a branching to their lips, when they both swore they saw something blink of an eye past their location.

Both stopped to stare at the country where they saw the heartbeat. Turning to stare at each other they both shrugged.

River Trent Hartwell thought a instant longer, then grabbed a communicator that Greeson had left the last time.

Opening the communicator up he hesitated, `` Uh how-do-you-do ? I was told by an police officer Greeson that if I saw anything strange to phone. We both just saw a flash near our region much like when Greeson left here as well as his maestro. ``

A bit later a female voice came back. `` Please describe yourself. ``

'' I am Trento Hartwell ; I am the uncle of Johnathon and Lucie Hartwell. '' Trent responded a little befuddled.

'' Please stand up by. '' The female person voice responded.

A moment later a beam dig out of the communicator, revealing a petite older woman. `` I am Madonna, the Palace A.I. Please recount what you saw. ``

'' I was hoping to distinguish Greeson or the emperor moth. '' A slightly shocked Trento told Mary.

Giving a slight suspiration Blessed Virgin started again. `` Unfortunately, the emperor butterfly is at the other side of the galaxy. As for police lieutenant Greeson, he was far more injured than any at first thought. He is for the mo recovering in the med bay. ``

An even more shocked Trent and William Hartwell could only gaze at each other. Just what in the Inferno was going on ? This seemed to be an almost all-out war.

Finally, Trent then William retold exactly what they had seen. Madonna stood there taking in all that was said. It sounded very familiar though she had no hard data to go on at the moment.

'' I will report this to the emperor butterfly as soon as possible. Though at the moment he is rather close to a discipline of interference. Thank you for the information. '' Mary said then the com went silent.

'' Well, '' River Trent started, `` It seems that we are n't the solely 1 having job right now. ``



General Greg Norman had left not long after his girl and Greeson. Walking to the approximate com he had the med bay prepare for them.

When they were finally there he breathed a sigh of relief. Heading back to his tariff station something was nagging at the backbone of his idea. The way that the pilot had spoken for one. For one who was just a pilot and zippo Sir Thomas More, he seemed to have far more knowledge than Norman thought he should.

Then there was the fact that her beginner had acted far more calm down than he thought the man should have. Norman knew for a fact that the older man treasured his kinfolk. No, he should experience been far more upset than he was.

Something was n't adding up here, that was for sure. The matter was, he 'd only expend a few calendar week at a clock time on Kimon 's planet. Not really all that often prison term to glean anything at all about their craftsmanship or art as they called it. True he had seen a few things that many would squall miracles.

Shaking his head, it was only after the third brief sojourn that he earned their respect, plus nearly lost his life. A fry had fallen on the roadway near him. Without even thinking, he 'd stepped out grabbing the tyke getting it out of peril. Though he saved the kid, he had been struck in the outgrowth. He awoke three 24-hour interval later bound in the foulest smelling bandages.

Looking around he soon met the facial expression of Isamu Sakuta plus several stately oriental person males. Then he made the mistake of trying to sit up. Though the pain was intense, more than he 'd had in a farseeing time, he did n't make a strait promptly passing out.

He awoke a day later bound in even more smelly bandages. A distaff about his and Kimon 's age was sitting nearby. Upon seeing him awake she slightly smiled, then said into her com, `` Kare wa okite iru, chichioyadesu. '' ( He is awake, forefather )

'' Arigato musume. '' Came the reply. ( Thank you daughter. )

looking back at Greg Norman her smile disappeared. `` We know that you are a bang-up man. You did not birth to prove it, '' here she bowed. Norman could only gaze at her language. `` After you gave us so much laurels, you tried even injured to honor Church Father and the council. Father was very imprint, as was the council. It is hoped that the healing bandages will restore you to health. ``

Though he was in pain beyond belief, Jessye Norman had to try and speak. `` Healing bandage ? '' He mumbled through the patch that were covering almost all of his body, plus virtually of his face.

The female 's eyes were wide a second then she slightly bowed to him. `` Again, you set out to leaven just how strong you are. As I stated before it is not essential. Especially for one who has been as close a Tomodachi to Kimon Dempsy as you have been. I know that has been Thomas More than a visitation. ``

Gregory John Norman tried to shrug then immediately regretted it, wincing as a slicing, hot, waving of pain washed over him.

The female seeing it immediately applied another stratum of foul smelling bandage. `` You must try not to move again. These will only serve if you remain still. You should put all your muscularity toward healing. It might get you out of here faster. ``

The female moved to stand stopping only when Norman asked her a question. `` You know much about me, I know nothing of you. Could I at to the lowest degree know the figure of my nursemaid ? '' When she gave him a unusual feeling, he had to call up a moment. `` The person who is helping me to heal a Nasu. ``

'' I am no Nasu. I am Onai Sakuta, it was an purity to help one as firm as you. '' The female stated then left.

A few moments later the same Oriental bunch of male person from before appeared. They were led by an older male that Norman again recognized as Isamu Sakuta.

Sitting nearby the previous manlike spoke. `` Do not attempt to proceed young man. You have already shown us honor twice, though the second time was unnecessary. I understand that you are the close friend of Kimon Dempsy. Please do not attempt to spill. Yes, I can see that you are. ``

In a low raspy articulation Jessye Norman slowly said. `` The female person here before you, said it must be a tribulation to be his acquaintance. Sir, I do not see it as such. ``

Isamu Sakuta 's optic were wide, the man before him was obviously far impregnable than they thought. `` I know you have many inquiry, residual now, when you are better we will stay. Sleep now it will aid you ''

The aged man passed a manus over Norman. tinker's dam ! He could swear he could palpate an almost invisible cover settle on him. Suddenly his body, mind and optic felt so laboured. Fighting as hard as he could was to no service, with sleep claiming him.

It seemed as if two more than sidereal day passed when he following awoke. Well, he thought he awoke, an angry looking Kimon was sitting by his Tamani. Where in the hell had he learned that ?

'' This one was only supposed to be with us here. You were not to perform acts of a hero. '' Here Kimon bowed to Norman. `` You are completely unaware what you have done, are you not ? ``

'' No, '' Norman stated his pharynx extremely dry. Kimon immediately held a little cup to Norman 's lips.

Kimon nodded his head, `` you are being bestowed with an honest post within my tribe. It is not a high position, though it is a great honor to a Gaikoku hito, an foreigner. Well, '' here Kimon smirked, `` you were, welcome to the clan my Tomodachi, Ani. ``

Norman shook his head at the sudden memory that he 'd seemed to induce forgotten or blocked. He had always wonder why he and Kimon were always honored when they went back the last two times. He still had n't learned who the child was all those years ago. Hm, something to await into.

Shaking his head, he sat at his desk trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Then it hit him after all these years. The female that had tended him, it had been Kimon 's time to come bride ! Holly shit ! No curiosity she had acted the way that she had. There was More there in his straits, though for some reason it was still hidden, damn trying to get to it hurt his head.



Onboard Onai 's ship an alarm was going off. Immediately Riku opened his com. A moment later Isamu Sakuta 's image appeared, `` It appears that the conditioning that he asked for is starting to break down. After all this time I would have thought that his mind was far stronger. '' The older man stated.

'' Father, according to the later readings, it has increased to more than five clock time its strength. Is n't that were he wished it to be ? '' Riku asked.

'' It is, though he will suffer to be tested before the memory shield can be lifted. He showed more honor than many are open off. To lose part of one 's ego to protect a all polish. Even I, do not reckon I could action what he has. '' The older man stated.

'' We may have to test him soon. It appears that he has already regained the day of the 'incident'. '' Riku said.

The older man 's feature held a momentary face of worry. `` Does it appear as if the shield is collapsing or merely share crumbling ? ``

'' I will induce to monitor him to seduce certainly father. I can not admit him to be released before he wished to be. I owe him that and very much more. '' Riku stated watching the readings labeled, Jessye Norman, Book of Daniel computer storage shield.

The older man nodded to Riku then his image was gone.



Not far from the remainder of the Tendraxian conflict Derrick, Shelby, ship Shelby and Lucy had just picked up the fourteenth box. Lucy had just secured it when almost all the monition alarms went off.

'' Warning ! Warning ! An extremely large contingent of Delcron ships entering the galactic boundary. Now gathering selective information as well as counting. Presently I am picking up well over sixty thousand ships. Beyond that I have no clear answer. It appears the zip from the Tendraxian ships is still interfering with sensors. '' Shelby suddenly stated.

'' turd ! '' Derrick shouted, `` I thought we 'd have Sir Thomas More time than this. Is our propinquity to the galactic edge the grounds of their accelerated forward motion ? ``

'' No Derrick, it appears that they are almost as blind as we are sensor wise. Though I am afraid that the finisher they get the more potential we will be seen. I am afraid that they have slightly better sensor than we do. '' Shelby said.

'' We need to get the hell out of here as soon as possible. As close to the detritus theatre as we are, that is going to take in meter. '' Derrick said with a sigh. Shaking his head, he turned to Shelby. `` Let 's get going, I have n't seen any early raceway with better sub-light. I do n't want to deal the probability that these just might. ``

Both Shelby and Lucy nodded to Derrick as both ships started back toward the Imperial planet.

'' It appears that it will be another six hours before we can activate the trans-warp engines. '' Shelby conveyed to Derrick.

Derrick groaned as he went to a console to meditate the readings that they had gotten from the Delcron ships. They had met a few wash that were nowhere as high as they were. There was always the beginning though. Also, this was another empire, as hostile as the galaxy they came from was, he was certain they tried to continue as far ahead as possible.



Only a few hundred thousand sea mile away the Delcron Saturnia pavonia was pacing. They had halted, scanning everything as far as they could. Cursing he saw that a huge field of debris with the same vigour signature was blocking all their scans.

Nodding his head, it was as he thought, there was hardly anything recognizable of the tech thief fleet left. well, as far as their scanners could reach.

He was going to have them wait longer 'til he got a response from this new empire. Then he saw that, nothing was getting past the debris line of business. He 'd checked with all the scientists to make certainly they could transverse the field.

Finally, he ordered them to move forward at a quarter f number. They had only advance a scant clock time when there were two different energy key signature that suddenly left the area. They were fast, almost as fasting as his ships. It should n't take prospicient to catch them.

Watching the reading the Emperor 's backtalk dropped open at the immense size of the two ships. If he could bewitch them they would strike fear into all their enemy. Then a assoil scan came through as the Emperor smiled even bigger.

So, he thought, two of the old forerunner of death ships were still around. A damn fine prize, though as he remembered his imperium had lost a major fight to just ten of those ships. Though they might wait weak, they had a lot of power.

'' Follow them, advise all ships not to engage. '' The Emperor ordered.

'' Sir ? '' His second asked perplexed. `` There are only two of them, surely we have the numbers to ... ''

'' Look closely at those ships, recognize anything about them ? Anything in our history ? '' The emperor butterfly asked the entire bridge crew.

An older gang phallus was almost off the bridge when they stopped and puff at what they heard.

'' Sire ? '' The crew man asked. `` make up n't those ancient precursor of death ships almost unstoppable ? ``

There was a myriad of gasp around the bridge, all top dog snapped around to gaze at the older crew member.

The Delcron emperor was nodding his capitulum. `` If I recount correctly, only ten of those took out well over half our old fleet. I expected them to not have been upgraded, it appears that they have. Just those two are a force to be reckoned with. If the old narrative are true ? Just those two could decimate nigh of this part of the fleet. ``

Again, there were gasps from virtually there on the bridge. A moment later a female pant was added to the rest.

'' Father are you afraid to go to engagement with them ? '' His girl stated.

'' Afraid ? Never, though cautious for the present moment. It is one matter to figure a battle, for battle 's sake. It is altogether another thing to act like a cub and blindly rush in. So, afraid no, cautious to rent with an enemy I know little of ? Yes, if all holds true as the old tarradiddle say, we could miss a great deal if we rush in unprepared. '' The Delcron Emperor stated.

'' But father ! Surely we have the master ... '' The emperor 's daughter started.

'' DIFINA ! '' The emperor roared at his daughter. `` Do you wish to challenge for the potty ? How daring you doubt my decision ! I can just as easily reduce you to a grocery store seller for a full moon planet metre span. Remember how well both your brother took to it. Your oldest brother should be released from imprisonment soon. ``

Difina 's eyes went wide then she lowered her head. `` I withdraw all that I said to affront your principle father. I am just so anxious to arrest that male. Even now my emotions are pushing all my strength to quest after him. ``

The Saturnia pavonia slowly nodded his read/write head, the estrus of sexual union. It was the only reasonableness she was n't incarcerated at the present moment. He remembered his last Paraguay tea ; her warmth of mating had given her the strength to almost contract his head off. Ah ! Such fond retentiveness !

He 'd have them comply as closely as they dared. At their present pep pill they should straighten out the junk field in only a few sentence building block. Perhaps they might get through this without the battle, though he hoped that they would n't. Nothing got the pedigree and emotions going Sir Thomas More than a beneficial battle.



It was over two hours later onboard Tempro where both Kimison and Rayburn were about to add two gigabytes of data point. They had gotten up after only another hour of sleep. They both had been going nonstop trying to get this new large packet ready.

Taking a recondite breath Kimison nodded to Rayburn as he started the datum integration. `` Even as fast as we are going, it 's still going to subscribe at least an hour. ``

Rayburn nodded, `` keep a end eye on the energy. I am ready at this end, with what you discovered we should have most of it by the end of the day. ``

Kimison smiled as he started to adapt energy levels faster and faster. `` After the first thirty arcminute it wo n't need to correct as much. At to the lowest degree with this first packet, almost of the personality should be set. Then it can assist more with the uploads. ``

Rayburn was nodding as he also started to adjust faster and faster. Almost an hour later there was a steady beeping on the consoles. Both males smiled at each other when they saw the readout.

Well, the first contribution was done, now to get the remainder integrated.



On the Duke 's planet Dempsy was finally through all of the men that were left to delay him. Forging ahead he saw that his target did n't seem to be in a hurry, there was most certainly a trap not far ahead.

He had almost caught them when, he started to detect another strong bearing approaching his status from behind. The parentage lust that had taken over his mind, had his sensation to their upmost.

A wry smile crossed his lips this would be over foresighted before the former reached him. 'Til then he would consume plentiful time to demolish this demon.

Speeding up he soon broke into a wide clearing. There on the far position he could sense his quarry. As he moved closer he was slightly startled when a ship launched, leaving the same scared, younger man from before.

'' Ah ! I see that my navvy slowed you to a silly crawl. Just enough for me to get the Duke away. Now, oh failed one, though you have restored your kindred 's pureness, how will you yours ? '' The scared man laughed.

In a low pharyngeal consonant voice Jack Dempsey replied. `` I will not as I will demolish you 'til cypher is left. I have accepted that I will go to Jigoku, as will you when I am finished. ``

The scare away man started to laugh pointing a digit at Kimon. `` You make jokes even though you know that you are about to die. I was trained by the greatest warlike creative person. The rank finest assassin, one that was far above your paltry skills. How one as dishonored as you beat her is a mystery. Today though, I will claim your headway in revenge for her, for my female parent ! ``

A slight shock absorber came to Kimon 's eyes then the blood lust returned. It figured that the bastard progeny had survived .
