Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his lips then he slapped his side. imprecate it Johnathon, now is n't the prison term to think about that !

Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.

Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the doorsill. Damnit ! The female was still bare !

'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.

'' Why ? She 's a female, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why bother with it. Since you 're here though, you can wield it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can manage it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his head as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, report ! ``

Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely O deprived. She was also at the showtime of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be capable to bring around that within a few daylight. I am still scanning her for any equipment casualty that the O want might have caused. ``

'' commodity, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Yes, Admiral heyday ? '' Johnathon replied.

'' Do something about her not weary clothes. '' Hartwell said with a chunk in his pharynx. Again he shook his foreland, he and the squad had been through hell on earth, horrors men should n't see and take survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle plain, pissing his bloomers. All because of a naked female person ? Face it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.

Derrick was about to shoot a drink when his radiocarpal joint comm. went off. Looking at the computer code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright full admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am bad to agitate you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's ill-timed, did you have to kill them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female person, a NAKED female. What in the hell do you gestate me to do with a naked ... On second intellection do n't suffice that. '' Hartwell said with a look of chagrin on his face.

'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.

'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a life space capsule with a brain box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a small girl and boy began to run round around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` sacrifice it back to me ! '' The little female child was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only stimulate his head.

'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.

The little girlfriend turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a digit at the girl, she leaned into Derrick whispering. `` I think I 'm in fuss, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' The Virgin said.

Derrick could n't sustain back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My dear Shelly, it is always a pleasure to see you. ''

A minute later Mika walked up to guide Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm grim sire, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``

Derrick gave Mika a huge smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to have got all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a consequence as she asked quietly, `` Still no news on when Gunter gets back ? ``

Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to have another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``

'' I really hope so father. The boys and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his married woman. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, remember he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the worried woman. ‘ They considerably make it back live, I do n't break my Bible and I do n't require to take off now.'

Mika was nodding her head, `` I just wish that there was n't all this secrecy. ``

Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an embarrassed look on his look. `` At the gift time, I am afraid that it is requirement. ``

'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the hereafter that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a square off look on her face.



At the edge of the galaxy three pocket-size guile suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to rest on course.

'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this backrest to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the other two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that close outcry near the Tendrax home Earth. '' One of the other ship's resident replied.

'' Still they were n't as shivery as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't assault him. '' The damaged ship man said.

'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a real number impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would need to mate with you ! '' The other ship occupant said.

'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male person I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.

'' I 'm not so sure, '' the get-go ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' Christ ! You 're getting more and to a greater extent gross the closer to home we get. Look, just let it drop and we 'll forget that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.

'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having control add-in problem ! '' The first ship man said.

The second and damaged send men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut myopic by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.

The first ship man started to curse when he saw the readings. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a bigger impression than you at get-go persuasion. ``

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` computer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. afford me a fourth dimension flesh for their penetration of the galactic boundary. ``

'' Compliance, '' the unsubdivided A.I. of the modest damaged ship replied. `` At present swiftness they will penetrate the limit of the coltsfoot within two weeks, six days. At deliver CAT scan unable to ascertain the number of ships. ``

'' Can you, with information provided, extrapolate the possible size of it of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an solvent. At present, CAT scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown region factors to think with current data point. If this is a marriage challenge party than the number could be as high as fifty to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as XL 1000. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three nameless factor, what of the third base ? '' The number 1 shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the third factor. If this is a war political party then the number could be as senior high as, one hundred thousand. '' The A.I. answered.

'' bullshit ! hoot it ! All you had to do was work gracious, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and damn near kill it ! '' The first ship man said.

'' We 're going to have to break communication silence. I do n't require to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The offset ship man said.

'' Neither do I. '' The 2nd ship man stated.

'' What ! ? You want me to face his wrath ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to recite him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.

With a suspiration the other two nodded as the inaugural opened a comm. `` Like it really matters, he 'd know they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an hr he tried to send out a signal to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a bombastic fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive rubble theater of operations. Here at the back end of it there were actual recognizable sections of ships. The matter was though, there were absolutely no life signboard at all.

All three of the males could only stare with their backtalk open. The field had to be one thousand of kilometers long and wide. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?

'' Scan the present debris field. Can you fix what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scans confirming identity of ship wreckage. All sections that are inviolate indicate that they are end of a very large Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by high up temperatures and thermic irradiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

'' Thermic ? Are there any corpse of EIG ships present within the wreckage ? '' The male asked.

'' Affirmative, at present, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG life history capsules. Though none are active, they are all giving off denotation that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many berths were abandon when we went by there. They must consume come after the EIGs intemperately if the EIGs used caloric arm. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't know he 'll be glad to get a counting. '' The first ship man said.

'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The endorse ship man said.

Another alert started to go off as all three turned to look at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! balance ripalon energy detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repetition do not trip trans-warp. Ripalon energy will cause a degenerative result to the standard particles causing failure within the system. ``

All three of the males looked at each other shaking their heads. No wonder they could n't communicate.

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp system ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp organisation is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely enlist the system ? '' The starting time ship man asked.

'' At present speed, six hour, twenty three minutes to span the debris field. Then another fifteen minutes to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of course drew a moan from all three of the male person. Damn, here they thought they 'd be home in to a lesser extent than an hour. Sighing all three started to reconcile in when they heard another set of alarms go off.

look over the meter reading all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life house. They were swoon, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't bear time for this. '' The second ship man said.

Sighing the number 1 ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't guess I could go with myself. ``

The other two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.



Hartwell was at his marbles end, the female was still unconscious, though all med scans said she was fine. Leaving her there he started for the bridge, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, all-fired A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited call from doubting Thomas. `` full admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the point of irritation.

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Saint Thomas to back away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't mean to make in your breakfast, sir. '' Lowell Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you have to describe ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool off.

'' I wanted to let you hump, we have heavy bodily process within that domain where the shield is. '' Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

Hartwell nodded as he thought a moment. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A mo later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's major planet. `` Alright show me. ``

Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Norman Thomas stated, `` all meter reading are, that wakeless machinery is being located just outside this glade. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking readings within, nearly insufferable. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to see. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the country finisher. red cent, if he did n't bonk, that area, looked a lot like the place near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to represent there as children. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of plan of the same country. programme that were below the airfoil well within a cave system.

'' Does the carapace extend through the soil ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few seconds Dylan Marlais Thomas stared a moment, then a all-inclusive grin broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the airfoil. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several Thomas More maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the English of a J. J. Hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right hand that goes through to the interior of the shield. ``

doubting Thomas excited was looking over the plans as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything utilitarian through is it ? ``

'' Just a lot of the rangers, especially the ones that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the precondition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral Prime. headwaiter Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as severe as first off thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will want at least another day. ``

Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``

'' wellspring sir, Colonel Dempsey would accept been out Oklahoman, though, he re-injured himself restraining young woman Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at least another day. '' Celeste informed him.

Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to cave in through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the plight that Dempsey was now in.

Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his intellect was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the liquid body substance in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his gasps for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his back talk three circle of alarms went off.

'' alarm ! alarm ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic bounds. They appear to be on a mastermind path to the last conflict. Shall I notify the Saturnia pavonia ? '' Johnathon asked.

Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.

'' Have you received any communication ? Have they made contact in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At show sir, we ca n't get a positive id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the organization. They moved across the limit a short prison term ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' bread and butter an eye on them, there 's no singing who or what they are. With that vast field of residual ripalon energy, we do n't chance sending any ships, 'til we can better shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his agreement as he watched the three ships move across his screen. Was this a prelude to another intrusion ? Like the commander said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.

Shaking his promontory, Hartwell was beginning to mean it was going to be a bad day. A few bit later Johnathon was taking reading in the med bay, when the female groaned.

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female person started to scream. Hartwell could only stir his head teacher as he watched on the sentiment screen.

'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.

Jonathon appeared with a stunned look on his face. `` Apparently full admiral Prime, the female person awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her hand made contact with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to tranquillize her only seemed to make her scream louder. ``

Hartwell sighed, then took a step toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really requisite ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.

The female jerked toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to commence operations. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

Lord sir ? What in the hell was she on about ?

Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female person was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

The female looked at Hartwell through her tears confused, `` Crying Lord sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``

'' What you 're doing from your eyes. '' Hartwell told her.

The distaff stamp her eyes down, then the bout started to follow faster. `` I am bad Lord sir. I did not imply to run off liquidity in presence of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``

'' Punishment ? What in the Inferno do you mean ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female cringe back from him.

'' I am wasting something Maker sir. However you wish to penalise me, I will accept. It is after all your right wing as a male person. '' The female told him.

Hartwell 's backtalk dropped open as he could only gaze at her momentarily. `` That is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female started to shake violently.

Without raising her oculus the female whispered, `` When you drink down me Jehovah sir, could you please attain it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This sentence it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from fear, more from the uttermost anger he was feeling. What the perdition kind of people were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep his pettishness under control.

Barely keeping his interpreter low he stated, `` I am not going to pop you nor have you killed. Do you sleep with where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a government medical exam place. The fact that I am here, means that the loss leader think I have many more than proficient fosterage years in me. ``

Hartwell 's eyes went wide as he stared at the female in disbelief. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section of the mesa off that he had ahold of.

As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the empire. This is a regular medical bay of that ship. ``

The female person tentatively asked her sassing trembling, `` The Empire that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female person was even Thomas More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lour. `` You are portion of the boor hoard that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his sass. `` Not as barbaric as your people, to aggress with so many ships ! peasant would n't derive in as big a forcefulness if they did n't stand for to overrun. ''

'' God Almighty sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our selves. We ... '' The female started.

'' You were in our galaxy ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.

'' I am dingy nobleman sir, that is what I heard the male speak of. We female do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to take heed such, let alone cognize of them. '' The female person whispered her school principal as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turning of consequence. Sighing he looked away from the female person. bedamn it, was going to be a yearn few next days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to keep his uncle Trent from exploding. The idiots that had brought the artillery unit up had forgotten the ammunition. His centre wide, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

'' Did you finally contend to get those changeling to get it here ? Trent asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a good while. They said they took what you said literally. You said get up the equipment naught else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trent shook his head, `` Dear god, how in the hell are they still alive ? You 'd think that they were smarter than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to blow up again if he did n't calm him.

'' I guess they were hiding a lot in force than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to allow they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

'' That 's about the only thing they are. '' Trento grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the gun was moved into position. Trento smiled with an almost jubilant look on his aspect. `` fervor ! Blow the Hell out of that situation, plus the arse in there ! '' Trent yelled.

Inside the bunker the scarred face loss leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial word sound activity was detected.

He 'd noticed a buildup of personnel out there, he also had a bad feeling watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to piss a hideaway, NOW ! '' The drawing card was yelling.

All of the rest of the men were close behind the leader and Duke as they left the building. Less than ten sec after they left it, the bunker exploded.

The concussion of the inaugural hit, knocked all of them off their foot. The leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second blast hit a little promote back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard various of his men scream, then nothing.

Trento was watching a read out as the first of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the second and third base caught a few of those trailing.

'' Son of a gripe ! '' Trent was yelling as he saw that of the two in front, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the asshole was injured, at least it looked that way. 'Bout meter that ass got back some of the pain he 'd been giving for years.

Trent River was about to commit men after them, when there was a hoo-hah at the back of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a interpreter following to him shocked him.

'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't last long at all. '' The phonation told him.

Trent and William were reaching for their accelerator when they were shocked to see an average meridian, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''

The man held out his paw as he stated. `` maitre d', David Greeson of the Imperial special forces. '' Shaking both men 's hands they both looked at each former shocked.

'' How in the Hades did you get in here ? We have spotter posted all over the place. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as soundly as I am. So, as I said let me and my squad go. Those are from a sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

River Trent was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the hand of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' Imperial particular forces ? Then the emperor is aware of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the Emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a thick breath as he stated, `` Well not here on the satellite. It seems that he had to get conjoin, so he went back to the Imperial domicile Earth. The balance of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

William watched the whole conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to do it that you are n't just a works by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a infantry off the flooring. `` I am in no way an immorality, glory seeking ass ! Do not realise the mistake mentation we are like them. '' Dropping William with a clunk, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been perfectly at to the lowest degree thirty minute ago. ``

William adjusted his clothes as he nodded his agreement. `` I apologize I ... ''

Greeson held up his script to turn back William. `` I am not here to hurt you, rather to help. Besides I am sure that SHE would be pretty pissed if I did wound you. ``

William and Trent were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.

'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent asked.

Greeson turned toward Trent as he very seriously looked the male directly in the centre. `` Why missy Hartwell. '' Both Trent River and William 's mouths dropped clear, even as a wide grin spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the emperor butterfly now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most authoritative multitude in the imperium. ``

Greeson was smiling even all-encompassing as both Male seemed to be excise dumb. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trento could get out.

William finally found his representative then sank to his knees. Tears were starting to flow as he stated, `` She 's awake ? My god she 's animated ! ''
