Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his backtalk hanging open there was no way in hell that he was going to believe that O'Toma was emperor.
Shaking his headland he had to sit, almost as if by magic a seat appeared under him.

'' I 'm drab I am finding this a little too arduous to swallow. '' That was when Hartwell started to express joy.
'' It 's a honorable one I have to admit, now then, I really need to satisfy or mouth to the man. The genius, that brought about the capture of over 100 plagiariser ships, near the old ship thou. ``

Sighing Derrick was n't exactly sure how he was going to prove to this man he was the genus emperor.

Blessed Virgin appeared a moment later.
'' Rear Admiral Hartwell, '' she stated. `` Do you by chance recognize me ? ``

Nodding he looked straight at her, `` You are a computer generated hologram, I recognize you from the few pictures that remain of the number 1 and last emperor butterfly. ``

`` Very good sir, what you may not know is that I was given the office to enact all imperial authorization, in all imperial topic. The most of import in the last 2 century was finding someone from this man 's phratry. ''
Laughing a bit she continued, `` In this case he actually found us. I was the one who sent the trial impression that the next emperor had been found. Though I am certain you noticed I left his name off ? That was to protect what was left of his family. I am the merely one who can adjudge anyone to be the emperor. ``

Derrick looked over at Hartwell, nudging him he whispered, `` Joey, close your oral fissure. '' Nodding Hartwell did as Derrick told him.

'' You really are the man ? The one who scared the hell out of control ? You almost gave me a coronary with that low gear then the arcsecond subject matter, shite ; I thought we were toast after that second one. '' Shaking his head, `` When did you get that brilliant ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Well I had help, '' Derrick told him. Showing the man his download head set, Derrick was tempted to afford the man a lilliputian penchant, but he did n't need the man in the hospital for days.

'' I have to say it is you, my god man you have an empire waiting for you, '' Hartwell said.

'' I want you to be a share of it, I also want the others that are left, we can assist almost everything that might be wrongly with them. '' Derrick said energize that he finally had a human he could actually trust.

Sighing Hartwell looked away tears filling his center, `` Of the nine that were left only 5 of us are still alive. Shilo and Grant were killed in a transfer accident, the entirely ship was lost. Jimison was killed trying to stop a looting. Jessye Norman, '' here Hartwell sighed even harder, `` was blown out of a hatch ; he 'd managed to save 15 people that were trapped. He heard the hatch weakness and shoved them into life sentence sauceboat capsule, he 'd just managed to get it shut and secured when the hatch went. ''

Even bigger tears were in his eyes, `` He was a bomber ! They said it was his demerit, he was n't even there, he was on the other incline of the ship when the claim came out. The bastards blamed their own incompetence on him ; I have tried to reopen the case for 2 years now. The president was part owner so it was swept under the rug ! ''

Derrick growled Norman had been the best of his unit, strong and up to with a moral codification that was endorsement only to Derrick 's own.

Derrick sat there a present moment waiting for Hartwell to calm, then Derrick spoke, `` There will be judge for them, I 'll make sure as shooting of that, if it 's the last thing I do, there will be Department of Justice for them all ! ``

Hartwell looked up at Derrick, `` Listening to you I can narrate you are n't the Lapplander man I knew all those eld ago, I also believe that you will do as you say. ``

'' What of the others Dempsy, Thomas, Rayburn, and Kimison ? '' Derrick asked though he was n't too sure he was going to be happy with the answer.

'' Dempsy is still as problematical as he was back then, he joined the commando with me. He 's turned down a commission more times than I want to accept, he still says that you and I were born leaders and he was more felicitous following than he is leading.
As for the others, let 's see the last I heard Thomas went into the salvage business, damn good archetype from what I hear. Rayburn settled down on a far trailblazer world on the Galatic rim doing pretty good the final stage clock time I saw him. '' Here Hartwell stopped a look of anger on his font, `` They shoved Kimison into a veteran 's recuperation center, more like a dense demise pit, half of the people staffing the place do n't care. The other half looks the early way. I pay for him, he saved my life Thomas More than a few sentence, I owe him that plus a all lot more. It 's the only grounds he his treated and tended as well.

Derrick growled, he 'd seen those supposed veteran's centers he had to agree they were end fossa, really not even suitable of dying in. Between clenched teeth Derrick said, `` I will have him out of there as soon as I can, I owe him quite a bit myself, and I intend to repay him. ''

Here Derrick slammed his clenched fist down on the table in straw man of him. `` I 'm going to postulate your permission to remove him ; I need you to radio me on this frequency when you sign the newspaper. '' Hartwell nodded the look of surprise then pride in his eyes spoke volumes of what he thought of Derrick 's plan.
Mary had been standing nearby taking in everything that Derrick had said. Everything would ca-ca it that much sluttish when she entered his mind to help oneself clear the residuum of the distress that she felt was still there.

'' Sire, '' Blessed Virgin spoke up a import later, `` I know that you trust the rear end Admiral, but as per your plan, do you like him to be released with the knowledge of just who you are ? As you yourself advised me you are still worried about your folk. At give I have only been able to land 2 sentry in abrir oculta, at portray there is no menace though I am afraid that will change when who the emperor butterfly is, is known. ``

`` Yes I know, but to do any type of remembering cube might seem as if he were tampered with while he was here. ''

Derrick sat for a few bit thinking on the job, `` Blessed Virgin, Shelby, the intellect wipe/ blocker can it be adjusted to exaggerate the durability of the intellect ? To make it almost impossible to break into the judgement without the equipment we have here ? ``

'' Calculating now, confirming with Virgin Mary, '' Shelby stated. `` It is possible, though it will conduct a wholly day to get hold of event. '' Confirmed Shelby.

'' I concur, though I do give a device that can decrease that time by 12 minute, '' Virgin Mary smiled sweetly.

'' Wait, wait, wait, you want to do what to me ? '' Hartwell asked a little afraid.

'' Do n't worry I 've used this numerous sentence, you 'll be safe. '' Mary told a now shaking Hartwell.

looking at over at Derrick Hartwell was n't too indisputable, `` It 's ok conceive me, you are a finis friend of mine that puts you in an extremely rare spot to Blessed Virgin and to me. Just to let you sleep with, you are the kickoff and for now the alone person to know who and what I am. '' Derrick told him.

Joseph Hartwell 's bureau swelled, his old commanding officer was trusting him with this, then he looked at the small device that appeared on the table succeeding to him. `` Alright commander if you trust it, then I guess I will also. ``

Sighing Derrick picked up the device feeding into a slot on the console.
'' I am sorry if we have panicked you, it 's either this or we do a memory rub and switch on you and really ? I prefer this to anything else, this way I have an friend out there that can help me with later ... things. '' Derrick said as something on a cabinet drew his attending, nodding his question he pulled up a position of a man in an engine way.

Confused only a moment Derrick looked back at Hartwell with a smile.
'' I see Dempsy up to no thoroughly as usual, '' Derrick said a immense smile on his face. `` You think we can get him without alerting the repose of the wing ?

'' Hmmmm he appears to be in an access crawl way, I doubt anyone knows he 's there, I think it should be safe though, '' here Hartwell smiled a wide grinning. `` You might need to warn him before you .... you know. ``

Laughing a moment Shelby appeared nodding to Derrick, `` Alright here goes. ''

In a distorted voice Derrick said, `` sailor Dempsy that had better not be an illegal alcoholic political machine I see you making there in that crawl way ! ``

Dempsy 's oral cavity opened, what the the pits ? Looking around he decided someone in the crew was messing with him.
grinning Derrick opened the line again, `` so Demples you going to ignore me again huh ? You want another 5 24-hour interval off the booze ? ``

This fourth dimension Dempsy 's eyes narrowed, `` I doubt you could do ... who is this ? ``

'' Tell you what come to my place and we 'll talk about it. '' Derrick started to grin at the look of discombobulation on Dempsy 's face.

'' I do n't feature ... '' there was a flashgun and Dempsy was laying at Hartwell 's feet, `` ... the meter ... to come .... '' Looking around Dempsy jumped to his foundation and saluted Hartwell. `` I 'm drear sir I did n't hump it was you ! ``

'' At ease Dempsy, it was n't me it was our Host here. '' Hartwell said as Dempsy was staring full eyed at the crawl space he 'd just been in on the view screen.

Dempsy was staring at respective of the machines and control panel, silent for a mo he whispered, `` This is unbelievable, I 've only translate about the things I am seeing here. None of this has existed for over 800 old age ! I have to throw off the hand of the one who found this. '' Turning he had n't yet noticed Derrick who was watching the medium form red headed man.

`` So I take it you like what you see ? '' Derrick said his voice still disguised.

Dempsy nodded still almost in a trance, then a light seemed to go off in his read/write head. `` Hey wait ! There were only 3 people that knew about the ignoring and dared to call me Demples. I had right reason to ignore control ! One is here, one is on the Galactic rim, the live no one has heard ... from ... in, Commander ? '' This finally whispered in awe.

posing forward Derrick smiled, `` long time Dempsy, too long ! ``

Dempsy was about to start yelling when Shelby appeared, `` Derrick I am afraid that the apparatus he was working on is starting to construct up pressure. I am afraid burst is imminent. ``

'' Alright institutionalise a pulse and keep out it down, vent as a great deal pressure as you can, I believe it uses a tri-switch ? '' Dempsy could only nod staring at Shelby.

'' Shut down commencing, pressing being expelled, '' Shelby replied then vanished.

'' My god was that a third-dimensional range of a function ? An encryption of the light field as an disturbance pattern of seemingly random mutant in the opacity, density, or the aerofoil profile of the photographic mass medium ? '' Dempsy whispered.

`` No it 's more of a expulsion within a self contained system ..., Demspy ! God I have missed you especially since now I can understand what you are saying. '' Derrick said with a smile.

Dempsy 's mouth dropped open, though he was n't for sure what had him more in jolt the holograph, the scheme on this ship, or the fact that the air force officer was back and actually understood what he was talking about ! Standing up unbent Dempsy snapped off a salute, `` Sorry commander as I said before I did n't know it was you. I 'm deplorable I had heard that you had passed, '' smiling Dempsy said, `` should deliver known you were too tough to be taken out that slowly. ''

'' Oh you have n't heard anything yet Dempsy ! Tell him who you are. '' Hartwell said.
Dempsy looked at Hartwell then Derrick with another confused look on his face.

'' Oh nothing that big I am in command of the finally of the EIG ships, I have 4 right now, each with their own hologram, plus I am the adjacent emperor. See nil that big. '' Derrick said a half smiling on his face.

Dempsy was still a little in shock ; `` 4 oh my god you lucky bastard ! Oh sorry sir. '' Dempsy quickly said.

Derrick and Hartwell started to chuckle, leave it to Dempsy to get over excited about technology. They both watched as he tentatively reached out and touched a panel here, a screen there. A moment later he walked up to Derrick and asked, `` commandant sir ? Anyway I could stay here, ... forever ? ``

Only a one-half smile on his expression Derrick turned back to Hartwell before he answered. `` Fraid not Dempsy, the ranger would start looking for you if you just up and disappeared. ``

Dempsy turned to look at Hartwell, `` I could use up an extended leave, then not come back. ''

Hartwell smirked at Dempsy, `` Now you know that the fire warden would start an investigation the moment you were a few minutes late coming back. I do n't think you want the entire fleet looking for you, at least not 'til the commander and the ranger are more established together. ``

Derrick smiled grownup seeing that Dempsy was about to start whining. `` It 's O.K. Dempsy you 'll get you chance to run later. Right now I need to adjust both of your brains before I release you. ``

Dempsy did a stunt woman take then started hard at Derrick, `` You want to do exactly what to me and my mastermind ? ``

'' I want to tone your cognitive power, making it harder to deep scan and back away info. '' Derrick stated after a moment.

'' Is that all ? I thought you might be wanting to wipe my memory and plant something else ... there, why are you staring at me commander ? '' Dempsy stated.

'' Uh, '' Derrick started, `` unfortunately that might still be an option. ``

Dempsy 's sassing dropped overt as he started to plunk for away from Derrick and Hartwell, `` look my brain is ok like it is. ``

'' I said that might still be an option knowing your nous you 'll love it, '' Derrick said smiling.

'' Well maybe my brainiac would love it but I would n't ! I happen to care who I am damn it ! '' Dempsy said further backing away, causing another troll of laughter from Hartwell and Derrick.

Shelby appeared adjacent to Dempsy a wide smile plastered to her case, `` sir, '' she said, `` it is completely secure I have used it many times in the past 800 years, besides I have scanned you brainpower already and found that zippo spear carrier will induce to be done. Neither will I have to delete anything from you. ``

Dempsy breathed a sigh of respite, `` Why did n't you say that in the outset station ? ``
Derrick just shook his head word god he really had missed Dempsy.
one-half an minute later both men were finished with their routine, Derrick gave both a communicator to hollo them later.

After sending Dempsy back Derrick paused a moment, `` Let me cognise the coordinates of Rayburn 's home I might pay him a visit soon. If you find out exactly where Saint Thomas is and what company I 'd apprize it, as for Kimison it wo n't be long before he is out. Get the paperwork done and I 'll read care of the relief. ``

'' I will as quickly as I can, '' Hartwell told Derrick.

On circuit board his ship several yelled as soon as he appeared, `` Stand down ! '' Hartwell yelled.

Turning a distorted voice spoke, `` We thank you can full admiral Hartwell we will be in trace. Also to the young man at the skill station, please stop attempting to glance over for us, give thanks you. '' With that the screen went blank as respective started at it and Hartwell with open oral fissure. Sitting down Hartwell started in on his report.

Introductory group meeting and greeting
report 115-001-RSFW-004
commando special Forces Wing-001
tooshie Admiral Joesph Hartwell, commanding

After meeting with the new emperor as per guild from command and extending our hand in friendly relationship,
it is this officer 's notion that said salutation was well received. The new emperor moth who as of yet will not
break his name at present feel confident that the Rangers and the empire will be capable to shape an
confederation that should be beneficial to all.

Though unknown to this officer, the emperor appears to be a fair and condole with man. The quantity
of intelligence the man showed was indeed formidable the few arrangement I saw on table his vessel make
the Texas Ranger pale in comparison. He has left a way to pass on with him the succeeding clock time we wish to.

It is the opinion of this police officer that the emperor is indeed who he says he is. It is this ship's officer 's honest
opinion that command has made the best decision in all form of their dealings with this individual.
At submit I have no promote passport to present.

There he thought that ought to throw them off for a while, and perhaps render me time to bulge out the other thing I need to, Hartwell thought. On board the finis ship Dempsy smiled holding onto the small twist that Shelby had given him, damn if it did n't create the booze a nether region of a lot smoother ! Hell according to her it was 100 clip safer too, hell on earth yeah ! Rubbing his mentum Dempsy thought a moment now if there was a way to move it to his nonsense that would really avail !

Derrick could almost see the ideas that Dempsy had churning through his genius, maybe it had n't been a good idea to tell Shelby to open him the purifier/distiller. Derrick started to laugh when Dempsy took a drink and started to cough from the much more purer booze. HA ! Derrick thought teach you to not examine it first !

Rejoining the residuum of the ships they were about to move out when both Conner and Zan signaled him. `` father ! '' Came their excited articulation, `` we are picking up 2 signaling ! Both on the galactic rim ! ``

Derrick rushed to a gore reading the signaling they had received, `` Alright Shelby, let 's get this one rightfulness now ! ''
Derrick said pointing to a dot on the screen door. `` The former we 'll get as soon as the showtime is secure. Conner, Zan I want you to stay here and maintain an eye on the Republic fleet I still do n't have a lot of trust of them. ''

Both told him they 'd do all they could, then Shelby flashed out near the first point. Looking over the Reading again Derrick started to essay all that he could, finally he cleared it and Shelby brought it aboard.

'' The brain box is in excellent condition, though as I feared the power within is extremely watery. '' Shelby told him.

'' As soon as you have it secure, ingest us to the other one. '' Derrick advised her.

'' Yes Derrick, '' an stir Shelby said. `` All secure commencing Trans-warp to endorse meter reading. ``

fillet within scanning chain Derrick wanted to realise sure about the second box. The readings he 'd gotten had indicated that something was n't quite the right way about it. They 'd been there perhaps an hr when Derrick looked up from the screen with a grim aspect. `` Shelby I do n't have sex if it 's possible for us to get this one. Even with you IMT the legal separation is almost impossible. It appears that this device is bonded at a molecular spirit level, your IMT is very, very precise but without a more dependable focal point I 'm not sure we can safely secure this one. ``

Mary and Shelby both appeared a moment later, `` As much as I wish to disagree with you I must concord. Though father if I remember right field you were working on a molecular specialisation device, not long after the explosive device that you removed from Zan. '' Virgin Mary told him.

'' Yes but I gave that up because at the molecular point everything started to count Sir Thomas More and Sir Thomas More the same. '' Derrick sadly stated.

Mary thought about it for a fourth dimension then also sadly replied, `` It is a shame that we have the brain box right here. ``

'' Make a Federal Reserve note of the position when we are better prepared we can render and retrieve it. '' Derrick said, Mary only nodded she could tell that Shelby was n't happy about leaving one of her children out here alone for yearner than necessary.

Derrick decided that a few Sir Thomas More arcminute was n't going to spite, taking readings Derrick worked furiously at the console. Adjusting almost as fast as his digit could he started to get a near idea about the attachment of the twist, not all that different from that which was on the astral fin of Zan. Hmmm looking further at the meter reading Derrick decided that it might be possible though once again it could be extremely dangerous.

look over at The Virgin and Shelby he was n't sure Mary would let him attempt such a saving again. Sighing he had to possess more solid facts and solutions than he did last sentence or there would be no going after the box. Derrick knew that last fourth dimension he had been close but 1 problem and he 'd given up, damn he never did that. Was it the fact that he had so very much on his home base ? That had to finish right now, without these ships there would n't be an conglomerate or the possibility of starting another.

Derrick called Zan and Conner advising them that they would be here a while longer and he might involve one of them to join them. Derrick started to work non-stop trying to adjust the molecular enhancer, finally 2 days later Derrick could see that the shape of the device and the box could be separated. The lonesome problem he could see was the position of the foil, too close the charge went off, not close sufficiency and the charge would fall with the box destroying the ship it was transported into. Sleep deprived, weary beyond impression Derrick tried to push even harder finally getting the initiative paradigm finished though he had to test it first. By the end of the third day Mary had been calling Derrick for 2 daylight, Derrick finally hearing her was advised that the fleet of Republic ships were pledging to Derrick except for about 100.

Those had left and were causing trouble, would he care her to take in care of
them ? Staring at Madonna Derrick was having a unvoiced time figuring out who she was.

'' Uh, '' He started, `` I 'm having trouble processing much beyond this right now if they are hurting people than yes arrest them. '' Mary nodded she was starting to worry about the Saturnia pavonia, she 'd never seen one of them work like this man did.

Mary opened a channel to the ships that had escaped, `` I am advising you to deform yourselves in the Rangers are now working with the ... ''

'' Why do n't you shut up you stupid ... '' a voice started, then was silent as the ship it was on was blown away.

'' Now then, '' Virgin Mary started again, `` I am authorized to allow you to turn your selves in, minimum sentences and no other punishment. The alternative you saw, branded as enemies of the Empire you will be hunted the rest of your lifespan.
I 'll give you an hour to resolve then I will commence punishment. ``

Looking in on Derrick Mary took Shelby aside, `` Shelby I am detecting that he is on the verge of flop, he needs to rest. ``

'' I realize this Mary but I have seen him like this before it is almost useless unless we stun him. I 'm not sure I am prepare to look his choler. '' Shelby told Mary fear apparent on her face.

smiling The Virgin told Shelby not to worry then walked into where Derrick was working.

`` father, '' Mary started, `` Unless you rest starting in 30 seconds under imperial mandates I will stupefy and restrain you 'til such time as you have recovered. ``

Derrick looked up from the device on the bench, `` You would n't defy ! '' He said.

'' sire it is my main job to protect you this includes from yourself. Now then cease and desist or I 'll be forced under the authorisation to take action. '' Mary replied.

Derrick grunted and turned away ignoring Mary 's hologram, `` You ca n't hurt me. ``

Sighing Mary over twit several scheme on the ship, two small electrodes came out of the bulwark, Derrick saw them and still ignored them. Sighing again Mary told him, `` Last clip sire or you 'll force me to take away legal action. '' Sighing again there was a low whine then both electrodes were live as was the explosive charge that shot out of them.

Derrick looked up as the number 1 bolt of lightning hit him, `` Ok I guess I was wrong, '' he said as he slumped to the floor.

Shelby and Madonna had mechanical arms lifting Derrick's unconscious soundbox and lightly depositing him in his make-shift bed. `` If he awakes and still has low readings advise me immediately, we have to spend a penny surely he stays healthy. '' Mary told Shelby.

Blessed Virgin was back on the imperial planet the time was almost up for the answers from the now 99 ships that had been causing hassle. Though she was also keeping an eye on Derrick she had to have things ready for him.

After confirming all the ships yielding, Mary went back to the ship to see Derrick.

'' Shelby, '' Virgin Mary started, `` while he is in this res publica we should finish what you started in his mind. ``

Shelby nodded as they both delved into his mind though not as chaotic as before Shelby could see that much had returned. Tracing all the way in, they soon found another haven that the war had created, far profoundly than Shelby had been before.

Drawing near to it they were suddenly hit by a titanic wind. `` What are you doing back here ? '' Shelby heard the conflict hardened Derrick again. `` Ah ! Good you brought another for me to pattern on ! Once I 'm through gutting both of you then I can take over this place ! ''

Lunging out Derrick slashed at Mary actually cutting her arm, amazed Shelby pushed Mary away as she stepped in strawman of Derrick. `` Move ! '' He shouted lunging this metre passing through Shelby. Grabbing his head she could see all the painful sensation and hate that was contained there, then she saw even more horror then the last time.

Derrick almost completely immobile, Mary also reached out grabbing Derrick 's head. Screaming he began to thresh away trying to break free of the two women that had an almost death hairgrip on him.

'' Let me go if you destroy this post he will never be safe again, you have to hold on. I 'll kill you both for this, you think he loves you ? You think he trusts you ? Get real ! Oh that 's redress you are n't ! '' An almost evil laugh escaped his lips as he tried harder and harder to get loose.

Finally with one last scream, he managed to wrench one arm loose again slashing at Shelby. As the chaos started to clear the Derrick that they both knew, was huddled in a corner palpitation, terrified to be active.

Both fair sex walked up to him each sat next to him both holding him. Derrick looked up
at the two holding him, kissing Madonna on the cheek then hugging her. Turning to Shelby he started to address, `` Again you were here, thank you both, '' leaning in he kissed Shelby deeply and passionately, turning they all rose to exit to the surface .
