Derrick was n't glad, not well-chosen at all, he needed to get out of here and get thing done. All this pomp and crap was starting to bear really tenuous on his patience. He 'd just released part of the buckler around the palace but was n't ready to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threats out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other hand was thrilled to no remainder to hold human bodies within the confines of the castle again, after over 200 years. 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 affair, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed most of it, they told me to asseverate radio blackout. I guess they are also afraid that command has been inundated with spies. I had always thought that control was the one place that would n't have spy, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guessing I was damage. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these shit have had quite a bit of time to infiltrate the ranks. I had Madonna relay a message to the top officers about the tryout that we have designed. I 'll let them experience the result as soon as we test it out on that one crew member. '' 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 dining table, though the thought process of losing a work party member did n't invoke to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

Thinking, Derrick was at a red a import, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an estimate, first we 'll institute her here then ... ''

1st specialist national flag Callie stared at the huge room that she was in. What a complete dissipation of space and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her head she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this assignment ; she was a tech medical specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the nates Admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with sandlike blond hair and night brown center greeting everyone that was passing through.

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

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

Derrick appeared a bit later, `` contain her to the interrogatory way I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to immortalize all of this. '' There was a brandish of bodily process while the young adult female was transported to the aforementioned room. Derrick watched as Mary attached several constraint and began scanning the cleaning lady looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found nothing, but the new single that Derrick had suggested were beginning to find all manner of shroud weapons, poisons, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that various Thomas More scans that he 'd added to Mary 's repertoire of tests still had n't been used. Again as Madonna started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the hidden arsenal began to steadily grow.

A few moment later Derrick nodded when the last of the secret weapons were taken off. Shaking his foreland Derrick knew he had his oeuvre cut out for him. Nodding to The Virgin, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to appear across the room moments later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injection. With a groan the young woman 's optic fluttered open.

'' Rear full admiral, what is going on, '' came her start question.

'' Well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to eliminate the emperor moth. '' Hartwell told her a slight growl to his voice. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd unripe beam of light on the woman 's nous.

At initiatory zip happened then the woman 's face twisted into a sadistic smile. A different vocalization soon erupted from her mouth. `` So your silly, ancient technical school detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. howdy you mechanical bitch ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that naught will phase you, at to the lowest degree not 'til she is dead. ''

'' As you suspected sire, the programs would have had me administer a deadly amount of radiation sickness. All levels are constant, you may proceed my lord. '' Mary told Derrick a here and now later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your little victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the time to ... '' Looking at Derrick the woman 's case twisted into furor. `` You will learn aught I have been conditioned well beyond your stage of ... ''

'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will answer me now or suffer annoyance unlike any you have ever known. We can elicit 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 unseasoned woman.

'' You would n't presume, even if you had the capableness, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A expectant arm came out of the wall with a set of ancient headphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the woman 's point.

The voice began to laugh, `` You have n't the grit to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to The Virgin, as the stream began to feed through the equipment an eerie screeching began to cut from the cleaning woman 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible plosive speech sound ! You 're killing me ! ''

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

The woman 's cheek 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 core. Well in a way all the pain that you feel in death will. Well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the woman 's hand produced another arm and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, very well Virgin Mary no more. ''

Blessed Virgin nodded with a slight smile on her lips as stream again flowed through the equipment. This time the voice screamed even louder for a few minute of arc then was gone, Callie 's dead body finally gratuitous relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; Scheol of a way to start a reign as emperor moth he thought.

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

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not give very much time. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the procedure is finished. '' Mary told Derrick with a small smile on her face.

Pulling a lowly blue disk from a protector in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby slot. `` The Virgin program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, iota, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... Sire ? Is this the coating of it ? '' Virgin Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only put down 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 destruction has been delayed another 2 age. The remainder of the broadcast will reach my Congress of Racial Equality in another 10 years. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in only months, I now believe that you will completely brighten me soon. '' Large rip were falling from Madonna 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this whole a probability to exist again. '' Here The Virgin bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his head in frustration.

'' Mary is there any way that we can prepare her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a fine officer and I 'd hate for the Texas Ranger to lose her. '' Derrick asked Virgin Mary a few second later as he looked down on the young adult female.

'' I believe that the syllabus you were working on earlier just might crop, though I could go in and strengthen her brain. I am afraid that it would consume a few day though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the console and started typing at blinding speed again. Those in the way backed up a considerable aloofness as they all watched Derrick with afford oral fissure. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really zippo new to him.

A few instant later Derrick stepped back waiting for Mary to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes father, '' came The Virgin 's response as she started to incorporate all of the new computer programme 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 encourage her creative thinker to the point that she can stand firm them without trying. Though I must admonish Sire, they will know that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a moment, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their factor were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console table Derrick started to typewrite for several moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to hide it, not the dependable but I think it will work. At least 'til it 's too late for the soulfulness source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new data that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an literal challenge for her. Smiling, she was starting to believe that this man would be the greatest Emperor of all, though he still had to get the rest of the Empire to fall in origin.

1st specialist ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the soft cot ... no delay she was in a bed ? ! What in the inferno was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her straits touch as if the Earth was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking char with grey hair watching her.

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

'' I am Madonna ; I am the castle A.I. or rather a holographical theatrical 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 craze then an almost lightheadedness at the sentiment of killing him then zilch 'til I awoke here. What in the perdition is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost panicked woman said. She 'd remembered the execution and was afraid that she was next in seam for the Lapp.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the faction. One sect that wishes to withdraw the emperor before he can enact laws to rid the Galax urceolata of them. '' Virgin Mary told the now shaking char.

'' What is to turn 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 ignitor of day.

'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the emperor butterfly explain. '' The Virgin told the adult female.

A minute later a hologram of the Saami tall, sandlike blonde hair and dark John Brown eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` hi Callie, I am emperor butterfly Derrick O'Toma. If you are leave we have a missionary station that I think you would be extremely interest in. ''

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

'' A hologram ? '' A astray smiling Derrick finished for her causing her sass to shed open. `` on-key due to ... uh circumstances and several hundred protocols, I can not be there at this second but bank me this is interactive. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only drooping, her admiration at the hologram grabbing almost all her care.

'' Anyway we have a mission that I feel will transmit a message to the sects. I will not beam you without your consent but they will determine you and try to pull out what they put in your head. Oh do n't interest it is gone we scan you once an hour to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is nothing to necessitate out they will kill you. So Danton True Young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok rest and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in indigence of a meal ? '' Madonna asked, `` We have a very very well chef who can make whatever you request to get your durability back. ''

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

Derrick sat a moment thinking of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Blessed Virgin I am going to the fleet it is almost time for the future ship 's emergence. '' Virgin Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a total time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his articulatio radiocarpea, `` clock time to emergence ? ''

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

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

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

'' Conner I need you to accompany 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 honor. '' Conner replied bowing low.

'' Tempro I need you to ride out here and ply support for Zan only if it is essential. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes Sire, I will endeavor to facilitate protect them both if requirement. '' 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 steer up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the galaxy. Shaking her header 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 astronomical rim system. `` Shelby can you detect any sprightliness out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning CAT scan now, the third and last humanity of this system has an area I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moment later. `` Switching DOE now, I am getting readings though something is starting to modulate the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A moment later a attack hit the shields effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, damage write up ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No damage, no straight hit forefather, '' Conner told him.

'' No geomorphological damage, the bam had insufficient energy to get any terms. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the fire was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much to a greater extent power than what we just witnessed. An effective warning to say the least Derrick, orders on how to go on ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a moment then replied, `` Open a channel Shelby let me spill to who is down there, maybe we can give a little word of advice of our own. ''

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

'' To the unknown assailants, this is emperor O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a Superior force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick spoken communication was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to locomote on, this is restricted space and I will use deadly force to defend it. '' The voice shouted at them.

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

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

Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a monolithic anatomy up of get-up-and-go from his residence I am afraid that it will go vital if no action is taken. ''

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

Shelby giggled, `` He is as technical school advanced as the finis one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our flow job ? ''

'' Can you burden a shutdown of the systems ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a close down ; it will cause a monolithic power feedback destroying half of the planet. Just decrease the input major power to the 5 fundamental nodes ; that should render the system in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would hold discovered that fact 2.3 moment too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully animate, anatomically stark, cybernetic advanced contrived intelligence. '' Rayburn fell to his knees, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like check here for an extended menstruation of time ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the back, `` 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 memory board circle they can bring home the bacon quite a nasty shock. '' Derrick told the man with a grinning. 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 translate what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experiment that had almost killed him.

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his header mumbling to his self. `` Seven buffer storage yes, sync electrical condenser, overload drainpipe safe, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no musical accompaniment in instance of elemental failure ! You are one lucky son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could give cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a minute then began to smile, damn he was gladiola 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 difficulty shot like you in the new imperium. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the recollective time then tears began to slowly fall from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a firmly metre 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 case of delayed posttraumatic stress disorder it is n't like what nigh have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can become extremely wild, are you really sure sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the trouble he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that infernal region hole. We got him out and he, for unspoilt pick of Son is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help you without often job, Mary ? ''

A moment later the hologram of Mary appeared, `` Yes father ? ''

'' I need you to read Rayburn here, state me if his condition is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.

Rayburn 's mouthpiece dropped open, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not potential. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby tobacco pipe Derrick had been using a few Clarence Shepard Day Jr. 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 promote again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose case registered shock then he slumped to the deck of cards.

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

'' Just scan Rayburn and see if we can revive the damage that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A lowly rectangular shaped light control panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie green beam that swept back and Forth River across the man 's question. A few minutes later the spark panel retreated, `` I have finished sire. It appears that this man has a high state of resistor to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take at least three discussion. I am sorry father, but his higher resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Madonna, there is no want to apologize, the unproblematic 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 centuries that the empire has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to gauge his reaction.

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

'' You, '' Mary started, `` embody all that the kickoff emperor did. I am so very proud to be capable to dish out another man as great as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right on. This imperium 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 mind drifted back to the past times for a few proceedings.

On gameboard Tempro the abruptly cropped blonde hairsbreadth, sensitive build man, with a smooth face was worried. So far none of the experiments had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother The Virgin was n't going to be happy he 'd judge all 100,000 tissue samples 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.

Mary appeared a few moments later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a slight break of serve down in his computer programing. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not stand for to cause you such pain. I know that the experiments all failed but I have gone over all the datum and I think I am beginning to see a pattern. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embracement of Blessed Virgin then the tears started. `` I am so sorry mother that I have failed so very much. A radiation diagram mother ? '' Nodding Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the sample distribution so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to betray.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any augury of failure. Smiling this fourth dimension he 'd take in all the indicators and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Mary it made things a all lot wanton when the body had no real consciousness or even the offset of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a probability to deliver the goods ; unfortunately they would hold to make Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor moth.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the Imperial human beings. Derrick was preparing to go back to the castle when Zan called.

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

'' Yes Sire, I thought you would wish to know my wing spouse is make. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest addition to the fleet.

'' Yes forefather, '' A young, slender, long flat brown haired stripling appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was prissy yes but he really had to talk to all the A.I. 's about appearing naked ).

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

Still bowing the young teen nodded, `` Yes Sire it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled pleased 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 sass dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
