Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The cold and stern dark of space can be a surd mistress when searching for something. It had been two week
now and Derrick was no closer to finding Thomas More of the A.I. brain boxes than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the demand position of the shoemaker's last struggle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would have been sluttish than this.
Always having been extremely bright, Derrick had tried to write several programs to aid 0999 to act more
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. Hell, it appeared that even the first emperor had n't had as often
trustfulness of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly redundant computer programme that
were stopping independent action at law and thoughts outside of sealed limits. It appeared that the Creator of the EIG
programs had been more paranoid than Derrick had at first off thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to handicap another of the limiting A.I. platform. He 'd found that they were
always in twain, trying to incapacitate the first always seemed to ca-ca finding the second easier. The unharmed fourth dimension he 'd
been running run to see how much more mugwump thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been practically change.
Derrick had just started to hunt where the second program was after trying to disenable the 31st program he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent organisation cascade failure, please discontinue your activity or I 'll be forced
to terminate you, thirty s. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the circuit, then the hardware blanket. With relief
sounding in its voice E responded, `` All organization returning to formula, cascade failure arrested. ``
`` I 'm sorry E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no closer to unlocking all of your
independent systems than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far more than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me Sir Thomas More than either of us at low gear thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would have caused prompt last. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` trouble is the programs, the instruction and all the sub-routines are almost identical, I
have n't been able to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the Major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 days looking over the programs he 'd disabled, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him obliterate. Hmmm from what he saw the foremost 30 he disabled had been written by a
multitude of basic programmers, though this last damn he was sure he recognized the touch it just seemed to slip
out of his grasp. While E checked through sometime and more recent regal records, Derrick ran the next 500 programs.
looking for for certain parameters he slowly began to recognize similarities between a few of the 500 and those he 'd disabled before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numeral pattern in the locating of the qualifying programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoiac men back then it might
just be an attempt to put on anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the signature of the one program, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''
`` It appears this political platform was created as a terminal fail rubber. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
signature is from a part of the old imperial family, indirectly in telephone line for the throne. It also seems to mirror your
family 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your kin related to the royal family ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't sleep with, but come to recollect of it, that might explicate why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the family, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is true up, you may be the net of the royal family. You may be the only one with the power to
open the palace, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal stag ? Then again it did attain a lot of sense, both his father and
grand-father had been found dead not far from the outer perimeter of the castle shield. According to both the area
was loaded with traps and deadly creature ( not just the 4 or 6 legged form ).
Derrick shock his head to clear it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a feeble tracking signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about clock time ! The salvage fleet might have shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` abide by this signaling it 's weak so it might take a ... '' There was a present moment of a whining sound then they were half way to the next galax ! `` ... while to detect it. '' Derrick finished. `` Damn it E ! William Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a suffering sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd want to festinate. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to remember that E could palpate his secure emotions, discover his unattackable
thoughts. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the hologram slightly bowing its head. `` I was not with this whole when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one other prison term. I believe a sum of 200 of my blood brother and sis disappeared outside
our galaxy. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a heavy force was lost outside the confines of the galaxy. Have you
located the mind box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely decrepit, Derrick ! The box is closely to failing ! Permission to bring it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` First skim it for explosives, toxins, viruses and any other nasty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting various explosives ; they contain sufficient force to destroy one of
us from the inside. ``
Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their place galaxy would be the same. `` prison term to
disarm and ... ''
`` Clearance and transfer in 5 second base to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All scan now sack Derrick. ``
`` commodity, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.
E was silent a few moments, `` I am detecting extremely weak cerebral action, attempting to infuse Department of Energy
now. Infusion successful, it will be at to the lowest degree one 60 minutes before I can attempt re-gen showtime, at present the vitality output
of the wit box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive price near the core, the information and memories may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, continue me informed of the procession of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with patience I believe that the unit can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced tinker's damn he hated to
lose the living surgical incision of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a full hour had passed with Derrick in the records room, when a chime sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's excited representative, `` She 's alive ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's alive ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` story E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to answer calmly, `` I was finally able-bodied to infuse the box with sufficiency energy to slowly start
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which social unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many deep CAT scan but she is 0999 my cheeseparing baby, she and respective others were lost in the very
first of respective battles outside our extragalactic nebula. Unfortunately, I am afraid percentage of her memory is damaged, it is a shame
though I wo n't eff the extent of the damage till she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the brainpower box was severely damaged straight, but it was more intact than not. Derrick hoped almost
of her files were intact, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll get out her to you, remember though I know you are anxious to get her back, do n't rush. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't draw a blank, it is my Hope that most of her clay. As I said there was extended price. '' Derrick
could hear the hope in E 's interpreter, he too was hoping as he felt it would help to bring around E further.
The rest of the workweek Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to look through the phonograph record from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the lie, the deception that had lead to the demolition of all these beautiful and splendiferous ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to boost the detective work sign more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to give notice you when 0098 was witting, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his caput he knew E was excited.
`` Whenever you 're set E, '' Derrick said to get thing started.
Suddenly there was a mechanical vocalization coming from the verbaliser, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain Albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in conflict outside our extragalactic nebula, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting severe wrong to my brain box. I seem to be missing the net class of my memory, plus
struggle maneuver, and tactical, '' The phonation replied.
`` I can ply you with the last two, the initiatory I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the voice asked.
`` At present tense there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the peachy engagement fleet ever made left, it is a shame. ``
`` There was only me, had my prime not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are undetectable ! Truly your prime is a brilliant humanoid, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to crimson he was smart sure but brilliant ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't think brilliant is an
accurate description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 geezerhood no race no ... one has ever been able to detect us. At least not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.
Why were the A.I. 's so surprise it was just metal detecting equipment he 'd originate age ago, cipher
brilliant there ?
`` aspect you three I am just an ex-soldier and programmer, not some god or Jesus Christ. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained dumb for the adjacent minute watching as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the psyche box had
sustained More damage than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive sum of its data and personality.
Derrick went back to the records to land up up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a week longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few twenty-four hour period into
the second week another set of alarms went off. Racing for the control condition room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` Report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the control way command seat.
`` I am reading a small-scale fleet of the same slipstream that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our galaxy
for added cover, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 arrest in close, we do n't sleep together if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank position, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to strike to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Position confirmed, commencing relocation, '' 0999 answered.
The rest of the hebdomad Derrick again worked on the limiting course of study in the main computer of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally strong enough and has her own king now, she should be able to finish herself in a few
days. '' E said more excited.
`` goodness though I hate to cause her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a little
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only one-half listening to E. `` E, I have a question. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the holograph appeared next to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the Saami within all master broadcast ? If I was to
implement the changes in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it cause the same job to them that it did
at first with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a positivist solution, this might clear a lot of problems down the pedigree
IF he could handicap enough.
`` At stage Derrick I am unable to answer that interrogative. It is honest that I did bear access code to all of both, and true
they were the same as far as I saw. I do not remember you encountering problems ; I do have comparability of all three
data files if you wish to calculate at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.
`` If I may inject, '' came the part of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to date ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to make decisions. As she said her organization are almost identical to all of ours,
therefore you now have an all-embracing noesis of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transport to ... '' there was a photoflash and Derrick was standing on another bridge not
unlike E 's, `` the bridge of ... damn it E at least let me get the watchword out, Jesus of Nazareth ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up Sir Thomas More of the A.I. 's was n't as trade good a thing as he 'd at start thought.
turning, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' vernal man with suddenly brown hair, not overly muscled, no facial hair
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? Overalls ?
`` Welcome to the bridgework Primary Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``
Derrick was about to ask who the snake pit he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but please just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding Primary I can not hollo you LE than Primary even when you rescript me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the estimator access code was, `` 0999 I will need accession to your main logical system, retention and
data organization. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the panels are undefended and awaiting your inspection and mend efforts, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data port and looked over the maiden 30 computer program, hmmm they were take
almost to a fault he 'd just terminate the first 20 when an alarm went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the command
chair, '' reputation 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the lowly fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our direction, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective masking ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a instant Derrick replied, `` remove me to 0101, immediately go to igniter shield activate all
weapon and sales booth by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Compliance, '' 0999 said a sad look on the typeface of the man, then Derrick was on the bridge circuit of E.
`` 0999, did the computer programme I disabled enable you any more freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % step-up in free thinking, but it is n't enough to implement the political platform you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` Damn it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared succeeding to him a belittled grinning on her aspect. `` What is the shape of 0098 ? Can
it use the light screen ? ``
`` Yes I can, primary feather Derrick, though at lay out it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have locomotive
capabilities but only sub-light, my life story capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E time 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will get through penetration of the extragalactic nebula 's edge in 5 days a full day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will accept hyper locomotive engine and 90 % of all her system, I am afraid that 90 % of her artillery will be off
line of merchandise as will be her trans-warp engines. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could think of, nether region they had been there half way to the following
galaxy he should have tried to mine the region are something red cent it !
`` E ? Do we get long range weapons ? Some that might slow them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was quiet down a few moment as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a group discussion between each of them.
`` fountainhead ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermal missile, but the range is very short circuit, only a million air mile I
fear it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a modest 1000 mil area flash, the arena reaches temperatures of well in excess of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a here and now that would definitely deter them a while, why he thought, was 0999 the sole one
that had them.
`` I can explain Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thoughts, `` It 's dead on target they are a good impediment, but the destruction
they can cause might go far beyond the domain they are detonated in. They were n't tested much and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes Primary Derrick, I have 3 in my rear armoury, would you like the schematics to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to present them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his self
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your name sake was extremely hesitating to even think of using them. I do n't believe it would be a very good
melodic theme, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the plans my god ! These affair were powerful ! Only 3 m long and they could do that
much destruction ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the force advancing on us will destroy you and your
crony and sister. Unless we can amount up with something else we have no choice. ``
Derrick could remember the monumental death some of the weapons they had used in the war for what was left
of the old conglomerate, now called the Republic. He himself had probably killed thousands over the years, probably why he
did so good alone. Then again, being ripped apart and eat while still active did n't really appeal to him either.
`` 0999, can you produce more of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the only thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 24-hour interval to make 2. I would bear 4 but 1
was tested on the moonshine of Darius 5. ``
`` Wait, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 planets in the Darius system of rules, and the third base and forth are dry junk ba ...
Are you telling me the mental test destroyed the fifth planet then took the atmosphere of the third and Forth River ? '' Looking
harder at the schematic Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most unstable constituent he known.
`` Derrick, when your name sake created these he told me these were a live on ditch effort. I think even called
them a sentence day weapon, the textile they contain is highly serious, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not miss you nor the other 2, 0999 is barely out 2 weeks now, and poor 0098 has n't even gotten a fortune to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapons will help with that. Please
agree with me on this, I do n't require to be fighting you the whole time on whether or not it is in good order ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his speech communication worked as he was going to want E 's service soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding primary quill of all of us plus you may be the concluding emperor 's relation. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not waste your spirit Derrick. '' This last was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't plan on wasting my life, I can not stand by and let these creatures destroy this galaxy and all
life here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick More than you 'll ever know, you believe in everything he did life was extremely preciously
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the hologram 's heart were leaving tears. Whispering E said, `` You are
more precious to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to start production on 2 more than of these projectile, I have plans for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in game up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes primary quill, production commencing, as I said it will take 4 days, 18 hours and 30 transactions, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please hold open us advised of your growth onward motion ; increase your lightly shell as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes primary, I will try to increase my emergence rate, my capsule is fully repaired so a 20 % increase in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to cease with the modification on 0999, '' 2 second gear later he was again on the bridge of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can finish what I started. '' An hour later Derrick was finished. `` Are your political platform less special ?
The holographical man paused a moment, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % increase in free will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To incorporate the tactical computer program you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at least another 360 political platform ( jolting estimate ) that he 'd induce to disable, tinker's dam, bid great,
swell, idealistic dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the former commanding officer probably would n't
have allowed him on control panel anyway. mo later Derrick was back alongside E, `` While I have time E, I need to go
through as many of the programme as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight differences in the huge
building complex programs. It almost appeared that every platform was the same as it started out but subtly changed more and
more as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally move deeper into the kernel of E 's programs, from
what he saw the archetype software engineer really had been paranoiac, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual slave.
He 'd just started to look at her personality programs when he received a cold-shoulder shock, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am grim Derrick but those are me, I can not allow you or anyone else to disable or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the next 3 60 minutes Derrick worked without stopping, he had to get these damn blocks off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any onrush. Then there was another problem, though he was sure they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every move, though not bad Derrick was just a bit rock thinking they had as
much dominance as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right E, '' Derrick said closing the memory access panel, `` analyze amount of unlimited personality programs. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % to a greater extent of my personality computer program are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is unvoiced to describe I ... some things are easier now not a lot but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % total no better limpidity, beshrew it 3 hr and only 3 % ! At least the platform were staring to
look dissimilar now.
The next day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` primary winding, I have checked and re-checked both thermic missiles, all the place setting are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can deliver them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an idea for that 0999 but have to run a model first, then we 'll live it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a thousand ideas were swirling around in his head. `` E, I need to run a feigning, here are the
conditions and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a minuscule comprehensive that he used on a CAT scan console. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go wrong I want to lie with so I can avoid it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's holograph smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to believe her.
It was well over an time of day later that E called Derrick to view all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more aggressive stance we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the mission is successful, with misadventure that could happen listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the mission is successful but you expire, this
will not find. ``
Derrick nodded, `` Good I am gladiolus you explored all possible action, this will make planning the mission much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the hologram smiling after he 'd praised E 's power. `` 0098, what is your status ?
`` At present I have full sub-light engines, I am also 30 % hyper drive capable, it also appears my light shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` Good, I want you to be able to travel if you are spotted, even without your wide hyper movement, you are faster than well-nigh
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes primary feather, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a soft almost caressing voice.
Finally a few days later, with only a few minute remaining Derrick decided it was finally fourth dimension. He had
installed both missiles, disabled 2 % more than of the point of accumulation on E 's personality, made sure enough all its cuticle were at full,
and had made sure that 0999 would be capable to provide protection for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to turn in them then get the hell out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the extremum heat of the missiles alone, could destroy E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a mo went through everything a tertiary time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's time remember in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to apprize you under ordinance that this has too keen a prospect to fail, ''
E replied.
`` Your advisement is taken in to account, '' Derrick said above the whimper of the trans-slip engines.
The space in front of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in place. Derrick
took readings, adjusted, then fired both projectile simultaneously, `` understudy E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the lead story ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to time this good finally 20 seconds later, the fleet
started to fire on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the ball of flack
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the severance damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
gain speed, he was about to speak when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the rift as soon as we emerge, that burst was closing in might surveil us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will attempt to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 seconds later they emerged close to their own galaxy, `` attempting to close
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the blast is coming through increasing shields to full. ``
Derrick could see the blast starting to emerge maledict it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except shields. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am sorry I failed with the mission. ``
There was a vast fire of plasma exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge circuit of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen as he watched the blast gasbag E .
