0667 awoke with a scratch where was he ? The last thing he remembered he was in struggle with several of his brothers and sisters. Reaching out he couldn't find anything to grab a hold of, it was almost terrifying. Finding his voice he tried to speak, at kickoff he could only get static then slowly he started to hear voices.

"Hello ? Can anyone find out me ? Please someone answer me,"came his almost frightened voice.

"Hello 0667, you are safe now and on panel me."Came a female phonation, suddenly all his fear disappeared ; that was mother's spokesperson ! female parent was still alive !

"Thank you mother I have been departed for so farsighted it feels,"then a thought hit him,"mother are there many of us left ?"

"When you are active we will have got a total of 8 ships, ease now son. The new emperor butterfly will bid to talk to you soon he always welcomes each ship as it awakens."

Excited 0667 did as his female parent instructed, the new Saturnia pavonia ! He'd never spoken to an emperor before this was indeed an pureness !

Shelby smiled at Derrick, he nodded to her to let her know that he thought she had done exceedingly well.

Sighing Derrick had a few things that were weighing heavily on his psyche namely the avowedly identity element of the one who was in charge of the Taiolan religious sect now. He shook his psyche ; IF the entropy that they had received was in fact true. Derrick looked over the data again there had to be a mistake, there was absolutely no way in perdition it could be him !

Madonna could sense Derrick's distress and desperately wanted to help oneself him, the thing was she had no estimation what to do.

On board Tempro Kimison and Rayburn were finally starting to make a little header way on the transport apparatus, though it was only a little.

"I'm telling you Rayburn the electromagnetic signals have to be in sync ! I don't see where you get off on telling me that the sync wouldn't work."Kimison was saying.

"I just said that in order to get it to work you have to hold a remainder of push that's all !"Rayburn replied.

Kimison gave Rayburn a heated flavor then turned and went to the console table,"I have proof you damn idiot !"He shouted.

"As if, you rigid ass !"Rayburn shouted back at him.

They both started to advance on each early when various electrodes came out of the paries and knocked both men off their metrical foot. Mary's physiognomy appeared a moment later,"I had thought that you two had worked well past these video display of anger."Both Rayburn and Kimison's eubstance were involuntarily jerking from the voltage that she had used."I had warned the both of you, this project is far too crucial for lilliputian literary argument !"

Both men looked at Mary the moment they regained some control of their torso."Really Virgin Mary was that much voltage requirement ?"Kimison slurred out his words.

"Yeah ! You're going to fry what piddling is left of our brains !"Rayburn accused her. Hmmm she thought, very interest, they both bonded when they have something in vernacular to strike against. She'd have to think of that they may not give to give more seismic disturbance after all but she'd keep the emf at the ready in case.

"I am here for a theme, have you made any procession toward solving the problem at hand ?"Mary asked.

Finally able-bodied to stand Kimison showed her the data that they had collected so far."We believe that if everything is transferred it would cause a critical failure that will take to death."Rayburn was nodding in agreement. At least they were in agreement on this one thing, maybe Mary thought, this was the point that they needed to bulge from.

"It appears that Tempro and I never took into account the sheer amount of information that we were trying to transplant. Well the amount as compared to the biologic storage capacity. Yes I can see now that we were trying to over load the biological form."Sighing Madonna wasn't sure if the living form would be as functional as the electronic. They would deliver to see perhaps it would be punter without the add knowledge.

"You have to remember The Virgin,"Rayburn interjected,"the emperor has had years of storing noesis, increasing the field of repositing. He has also had years to find style to store more knowledge, Kimison and I have barely touched on what he has. You said he took the depository library of three ships ? Kimison took one and it almost killed him. I took the same and a little of yours, I wasn't sure I was going to make it out. THAT is a testament to the thinker of the emperor."

"I think if we had more meter to let our minds adjust, we too could execute the Saame. I'm afraid it would take up far too long to attain what he did. There simply isn't sufficiency metre to attain it now. We do have the knowledge though to take this on,"Kimison looked at Rayburn then they both nodded."Yes we can do this, when you need it done though, I am not sure, all we can do is press on."

Mary breathed a suspiration of alleviation finally it sounded like they were working on the same level. Still knowing both of them like she did it might be a good idea to keep the safe precaution in place.


On the second Taiolan secure humankind the drawing card had kept his temper in verification, as of yet the senior pilot of the Betrayal had proven that he was a valuable asset. So far the leader had only landed a glancing shock on the man, smiling the leader was about to see if the man truly was worthy.

"Report all that you saw,"The leader snapped at the man again.

The Captain went into detail even more as he told the leader all he'd seen. The leader started to strike at the man with increasingly faster and deadlier setback. Finally finished, the leader threw the one strike at the man he knew the Captain couldn't avoid. Moving far faster than he thought he could, the Captain felt the searing heat of the blow as it moved past his face and head then down his back. Shit ! The Captain thought he'd had it for a here and now then lost the direction. The leader smiled as the master fell to the floor, so the tinker's damn had kept in practice good he should survive, should, we'll see he thought.

"Wheel the new commandant of our fleet to the healing simple machine ; that is if he survives, if not we'll see."The leader spit at the new number 1 geezerhood that were working make clean up in the controller room. The Leader was a footling upset the emperor moth now had ascendence of all the information that grandiloquent ass had kept hidden. He knew the emperor wouldn't use it like the prexy had but who knew he might in other mode. Smashing his clenched fist into the wall to quell his ira, the drawing card ignored the fissure that appeared it the Rock nerve behind him as he turned.

"Second !"The leader yelled, then watched as the man appeared a moment later."I want our best female spy, I want to infiltrate the emperor's inner lot. Failing that take and re-program a secretive female to him. I don't care what it takes I want someone on the inside ! I want them there as soon as possible !"

"Yes leader I am on it now."Running off the second smiled this ought to be good they hadn't used her in a recollective time. She should be quite aegir to do a mission for the faction, especially the leader.

Derrick appeared in the can room amid a few gasps from those posted that hadn't seen the IMT in action mechanism yet. Derrick sighed he was going to have to get all those who were going to be in the palace informed. Looking around he knew that Hartwell was back onboard his ship at the moment, foreign Derrick thought I haven't seen either Kimison or Rayburn in almost a hebdomad."Mary ?"Derrick asked.

Appearing in a moment The Virgin thought she could detect a question in the emperor butterfly's voice."Yes sire ?"

"I haven't seen Kimison nor Rayburn all week, please inform them that I have need of them for a few hours."Derrick told Mary.

"Yes Sire immediately."Madonna answered.

Kimison and Rayburn had finally configured the download device to a low-pitched voltage during transferee. The Virgin appeared a little looking of worry on her face."The emperor wishes to see both of you for a few hours, though I am unsure of what exactly he needs."

Kimison and Rayburn looked at each other a bit trying to figure just what their old commanding officer might want."Tell him we'll be there in a few instant, say we are finishing up some equipment that will be of groovy use later."

Mary nodded she'd have never come up with a half Truth answer."Alright, he said he needs you both as quickly as possible, something to do with the memory board sign of the zodiac of information."

Derrick had been pacing, he had to know if it was honest or not, A few minutes later Kimison and Rayburn walked in.

Derrick looked at the two of them a little wary a moment, they were together and they weren't fighting ?"Alright what in the infernal region is going on ?"Both of the men could only stare at Derrick,"you two never work together and don't engagement unless I am there, so spill."

Kimison and Rayburn both looked at Derrick a little embarrassed,"sort of knockout to fight when someone shocks your ass,"Rayburn interjected Kimison was shaking his head agreeing.

"Yeah, then the second gear time she ups the voltage nearly scrambled my damn brains !"Kimison spitting out.

Derrick was doing his intimately not to laugh though now that he thought about it he too had felt the sting of Mary's electrobe shocks. Finally unable to concur back Derrick fell to the floor as he burst out laughing."I'm sorry you two, I have felt her shock absorber too. I warned you both all those year ago that your fighting was going to be the death of both of you."Derrick told them between gasping for breathing time and laughing after seeing the feeling of indignation on both of their faces.

"Really Sire,"Rayburn told Derrick as he started to smile,"it isn't funny !"

"Yeah hey ! You can stop now !"Kimison told him half heartedly as he too started to smile. This of course caused Derrick to express joy even harder as the both of them tried their dear to slosh the desire to laugh with him.

"Ah god ! I needed that so much you two ! I haven't had often to express mirth about in a long time."Derrick finally told them after all three of them had regained their composure."I called you both because I have come by some information that I can't quite believe. I need the both of you to confirm the validity of the transmission system with The Virgin. I need to know if it is true or not so I can launch a few approach myself."

Kimison and Rayburn looked at each other, they both remembered their air force officer's"feelers"from the war. One thing could be said though, they always got the job done if not a lot messy.

"Uh sure sire but what's that got to do with the both of us ?"Rayburn said as he and Kimison looked at each early again."After all we're just your tech guy though,"here they both smiled widely."We are better than most."

Derrick was also smiling widely there was no denying that fact,"No this has to do with a sure half crony of yours Kimison."Derrick stated his face dropping all pretending of a smile.

"My half brother ? I thought that ass trap was dead, considering he tried to kill me and you several times."Kimison said as he looked at Rayburn.

"Yeah for a long time it as about the only thing we had in common, a rattling hate of that son of a gripe !"Rayburn spit out like a poisonous venom.

Derrick was nodding his head he remembered the animosity that had existed between the buddy and Rayburn at the startle of the war. Kimison's chum had tried to stamp out or hurt both of them on numerous occasions. It had finally taken Derrick stepping in and having the man arrested for attempted murder. As Derrick remembered the chum had been sent to be rehabilitated, they'd lost all contact lens after that.

Sighing Derrick wasn't exactly sure how he'd take the news,"according to info we've received he is believed to be in controller of the faction that is out to kill me."

"Ha ! Yup sounds about like something the ass would be tied to do. Never did trust him always plotting and planning slipway to get one up on me. After mom died the rift between us grew exponentially ‘ til I didn't even know him anymore. I think he blamed me for her death, funny but I always blamed him."Kimison said as sarcastically as he could."I had actually hoped that he was utter after all this time, figures he's still live and behind a lot of this. If I remember powerful he tried to get you once didn't he Sire ?"

Derrick nodded he remembered it like it was yesterday they had been on maneuvers near the end of their third twelvemonth. They had just secured a full of life position when they had heard a call for an air smasher on their position. They all would have nearly been killed had it not been for Derrick moving them early. He'd felt something was off and had then pulled back, after radioing in they pulled back over 1000 yards. Not even 10 minutes later their old position was pounded flat.

"So no word of honor from him ? Nothing of him boasting like he had when he escaped the lowest time ?"Derrick asked.

"No sir not a unity Word except, the billet they put him sent me paper that said he was no tenacious there and no far info was offered. That was the main reason I thought that the ass was dead."Kimison told Derrick.

Sighing Derrick nodded and picked up a few rag of paper handing them to Kimison and Rayburn. At beginning they scanned the canvass then both started to growl."You absolutely sure these are right ?"Rayburn asked suddenly."I really don't want to be looking over my articulatio humeri all the red cent time for this wee ant !"

"All reports we've incur indicate he just took over leadership of the Taiolan a short metre before they attacked abrir oculta."Derrick replied."He obviously remembered about me and what's left hand of my family. I guess he thought he'd get all three of us through me."

Kimison finally spoke up a seething anger behind his wrangle,"Personally as I said I was hoping the son of a kick was dead."Looking up at Derrick Kimison's face twisted into a masquerade of rage."I think we should do everything possible to realise that a reality !"

"I'm working on that now as soon as I know it's ..."A beeping at his wrist alerted Derrick to an incoming call."Yes Shelby ?"

"Just letting you know it's almost meter. The new configuration of power feeds has done wonders to the re-gen cycles."Shelby advised Derrick.

"Alright Shelby I'll be right there."turning back to Kimison and Rayburn Derrick stated,"I just thought I'd let you know at present you two are almost as arduous to actually notice as I am. Alright Shelby"With that Derrick was gone leaving both men to stare at each early. Both smiled yes they were heavily to bump, especially with Mary running interference.

Derrick moved to the bid professorship as soon as he was on board."Alright Shelby let's hear."

"0667 ? I have the emperor here, he wishes to welcome you. Plus he has a few doubtfulness. Sire ?"Shelby said at his prompting.

"Hello 0667, I am Derrick O'Toma."Derrick started.

"It is a nifty honor Sire."The Male voice replied.

"As I told all EIG's I require all of you to go by the epithet that was given you. That being said please state of matter yours."Derrick instructed the voice.

"Yes father for a very short time I was addressed as Marco. Not really sure why but that is what the crew called me."Marco told Derrick.

"Ah beneficial ! Then Marco you shall be, you will be a fine accession to the growing fleet."Derrick advised Marco.

"Thank you Sire I will do my best !"Marco replied.

"I have moved 0125 to bay 1 and have transferred 0403 into bay 2. thank you Derrick,"Shelby appeared a moment later."It has been so long since I had this many of my children nearby."Shelby wanted so desperately to reserve Derrick close and thank him. Touching her lips she remembered the supply ship buss that they had shared. She'd give almost anything to feel it again.

Derrick could only stare at Shelby as she was gently touching her backtalk. Interesting Derrick thought had freeing up that much of the programs been a bad thing ? This was the first of all time she hadn't heard his question to her."Shelby ? Has the others being in shut propinquity to you caused their re-gen cycles to start at a low level ?"Derrick asked again.

This meter Shelby heard Derrick and looked at all the psyche corner that had been and were still on board. Surprised she told Derrick,"Yes Derrick it appears that with all the upgrades we have made, their re-gens were already in progress when I move them to the bays. I have seen data to support the truehearted re-gen but cipher of this ‘ til now."

"I was hoping for something like this when I had you initiate that last upgrade."Derrick informed Shelby."I am sorry I didn't inform you sooner but I didn't want you to be disappointed if it hadn't worked."

Smiling her sweetest smile Shelby moved to in front of Derrick,"Oh Derrick you could never be disappointing to me, ever."This finale spoken in a voicelessness."I also feel that 0125 will emerge in 2 - 3 daylight, I will call you as soon as possible."

"Thank you Shelby, for putting up with me all this metre and all of my ... problems."Derrick told her, a faraway flavor in his eyes.

"For you Derrick always and they weren't really any trouble,"Shelby replied almost the Saami look in her eyes.

Kimison was pacing the deck of cards on panel Tempro, he was seething, that the son of a bitch was still alive. Tempro and Mary were both somewhat worried, with Kimison like this there was a hypothesis that he wouldn't be able-bodied to preserve the projection. Rayburn too seemed to be distracted as well, Blessed Virgin sighed with them like this they wouldn't be nearly as efficient as they had been.

"Mary I have to know if he is alive, is there any way you can confirm or turn down the data point ?"Kimison blurted out.

Madonna had been expecting this for a spell now and had prepared all she had for him."Based on all the data we have received there is a 73.998 % that he is your half-brother. As of this here and now we still have no confirmation of all the datum. We also have not ..."

"Look The Virgin I really don't collapse a bull about all the chances or probability ! Is he or isn't he that's all I want to make love !"Kimison snapped at Mary.

"I can not suffice that at the present time incarnate, I ..."Mary started.

"I have to get it on damn it ! I am sorry but ‘ til such fourth dimension as I do I won't be able to pore on the undertaking. Besides with the information we have gathered, Tempro should be able to originate running trial to fix where we need to go next."Kimison told The Virgin hid arms crossed definitely across his chest.

"Sorry Mary but I'm with him, if that jerk is alive and in ascendency of that religious order he is far more dangerous to us. We have to aid substantiate it is him,"snapping his fingers Rayburn pulled up respective data streams."Mary is this the analysis of the rakehell and tissue that were found in that ejection seat ?"

Appearing next to Rayburn Mary confirmed that it was. Kimison's eyes lit up,"Mary take a roue and tissue sampling from me."Kimison laid upon the board as Rayburn explained."Though they are only half buddy, they have quite a few of the same genetic marker from their mother. She had a disease known as continuing atomic number 11 preoccupancy, as I recall it was nasty and left definite transmissible markers."

A new light seemed to add up into Mary's eyes as she withdrew the sample needed and started her analytic thinking of each. It was almost 2 hr later that The Virgin finally spoke up."I have a detailed depth psychology of both yours and those found it the capsule. Both ploughshare almost half the exact like genetic marking that you spoke of. I am distressing to say it is a 95.375 % probability that you both are related."

"I knew it ! I knew it ! That moron was always too tough to get killed or just die ! Damn it ! We have to inform the emperor about this."Kimison told Mary.

"I will when he returns, it seems he has taken this time to travel to the higher ranking Nobles."Mary informed them.

Derrick was about to go back planet side when Hartwell called."Sire we've received word from magnate Talbert, I think it would be best in your gift ..."As he appeared in social movement of Derrick, Hartwell shook his head he'd done it a few times now and still wasn't used to it yet."... location. darn still not used to that."

Derrick smiled then nodded he'd used it more than anyone and HE still wasn't used to it."So did our friend the baron have much to say ?

"Oh yes, though not as matter to as what he didn't say."Hartwell told Derrick.

Derrick nodded as Hartwell started the datum disc."I have been to the Duke's abode and enjoyed a fat repast. The Duke is very confident that the new Saturnia pavonia will soon shower him enceinte favor. He has boasted that he has connections that the Saturnia pavonia will want to connect with soon, this in bit has caused a new bravado from the Duke. I miss you my dear stag and hope to see you soon be well and recall you are missed."The mogul's vocalism was replaced with a soft static.

"So the son of a cunt is behind it !"Derrick growled. They had set up certain phrasal idiom to restrain the Baron rubber. Basically the top executive had been treated like crap, like he was far beneath the Duke, it seemed the Duke was expecting the Saturnia pavonia to be idle soon. It also appeared that the Duke was boasting about it in clear sleeping room knowing that the lesser noble would say nothing in fear the Duke took action against them.

"What do you want to do about it ? You know the word of a child noble won't hold up anywhere, not against a wide-cut on Duke. I know you have a growing military unit Sire, but even with them he still has an edge. You are going to need every ship you have to tip this one."Hartwell was telling Derrick.

"I know, you know I think we need to bulge out that tour of the noble landed estate and territorial dominion. Mary we're going to go around to the different Lord territories, I am taking a insularism of those in the palace."A moment later all those in the throne room started to appear around the span."Good, thank you Mary, I'll keep a com undefendable at all times to you."Derrick told Mary before he started to direct all the men to the mansion house direction and respective of the rooms there.

"It has been a very farseeing time since I have had this many masses on control board. It feels strange but wonderful at the Lapp time."Shelby told him after she'd appeared and had started to also direct all of the men to the rooms.

"I was hoping you weren't offended Shelby I'm glad you weren't. Contact Ace, Conner, and Celeste we are all going, it isn't the force I want to have with me but I need Zan and Sherry to watch their brother while he finishes re-gen."Derrick said as he issued orders.

Shelby smiled and contacted all three ships a import later a hologram of Thomas appeared."We going to fright the crap out of those fashion plate ?"He chuckled.

"No not yet,"chuckled Derrick."Though I do want them to have it away I'm not playing any more. Four ships I think just might make that pompous ass reconsider trying anything though."

"Anytime you're set up, I've got Conner all set to go, don't even have to aim !"Derrick started to laugh harder Thomas the doubting Apostle was fierce enough to attend at but with a ship ? He was down right scary as perdition ! Good matter he was on their side !
