Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth unfold. They had a captive for sure, though a naked female ? What in the underworld were they going to do with a defenseless female. A wry smile came to his mouth then he slapped his face. bedamn it Johnathon, now is n't the clip 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 doorstep. Damnit ! The female was still raw !

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

'' Why ? She 's a distaff, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why annoyance with it. Since you 're here though, you can plow it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to simper at her pal. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can treat 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 instant later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be capable to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen deprivation might give caused. ``

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

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

'' Do something about her not wearing dress. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his forefront, he and the team had been through Hell, revulsion men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle field, pissing his pants. 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 consider a drink when his carpus comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am dingy to commove you commandant. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his cheek up puzzled. `` What 's wrong, did you have to kill them ? ``

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

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

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



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

Derrick bent down to split the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The picayune girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only shake his top dog.

'' 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 small girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mister overnice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his nerve. The Virgin appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick whispering. `` I think I 'm in worry, here comes the see through madam. ``

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

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

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

Derrick gave Mika a huge grinning as he replied. `` They were no trouble at all. I am thankful to have all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, `` Still no word 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 sire. The boys and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, think back he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the upset woman. ‘ They better make it back awake, I do n't wear my word and I do n't want to start now.'

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

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

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an stymy look on his face. `` At the pose time, I am afraid that it is necessary. ``

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



At the border of the Galaxy three pocket-sized craft suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the Imperial world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to stay on course.

'' You know he 's going to toss off me if I ca n't get this cover 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 confining birdsong near the Tendrax home world. '' One of the other ship's occupants replied.

'' Still they were n't as scarey as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't attack 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 literal imprint. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would desire to couple with you ! '' The former ship resident said.

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

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

'' Christ ! You 're getting to a greater extent and to a greater extent gross the closer to place we get. feel, just let it dismiss 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 display board problem ! '' The first ship man said.

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

The first ship man started to curse when he saw the recitation. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a heavy effect than you at first thought. ``

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` information processing system, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a prison term frame for their insight of the astronomic boundary. ``

'' submission, '' the round-eyed A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At present speed they will get across the boundary of the galaxy within two weeks, six day. At present scans unable to determine the number of ships. ``

'' Can you, with information provided, generalize the possible sizing of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an resolution. At nowadays, CAT scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown factors to see with current datum. If this is a marriage challenge political party than the number could be as high as fifty to seventy thou. If this is a diplomatic party, then it could be as few as forty one thousand. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three unnamed ingredient, what of the third ? '' The first shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data point that was supplied for the 3rd broker. If this is a war party then the number could be as luxuriously as, one hundred thousand. '' The A.I. answered.

'' Shit ! damn it ! All you had to do was throw nice, maybe hit it a small. No, you had to go and beshrew near kill it ! '' The for the first time ship man said.

'' We 're going to have to break communicating secrecy. I do n't want to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The first 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 tell him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.

With a sigh the other two nodded as the 1st opened a comm. `` Like it really matter, he 'd acknowledge they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an hour he tried to send a signal to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a large fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive debris orbit. Here at the plump for end of it there were genuine placeable department of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life signs at all.

All three of the males could only stare with their backtalk open. The field had to be thousands of kilometers foresightful and all-inclusive. Just what in the Inferno had been going on while they had been away ?

'' scan the present rubble playing area. Can you find what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The start ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scan confirming identity of send wreckage. All sections that are integral indicate that they are remnant of a very large Tendraxian fleet. impairment was induced by high school temperatures and thermic radiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

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

'' Affirmative, at present, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG aliveness condensation. Though none are active agent, they are all giving off indicant that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many berths were hollow when we went by there. They must receive come after the EIGs hard if the EIGs used caloric weapons. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't roll in the hay he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The first ship man said.

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

Another dismay started to go off as all three turned to look at the indication. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon get-up-and-go detected. Do not touch off trans-warp, repeat do not aerate trans-warp. Ripalon energy will make a degenerative outcome to the Criteria corpuscle causing failure within the system. ``

All three of the males looked at each other shaking their foreland. 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 scheme is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely wage the system ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' At give speed, six time of day, twenty three minutes to track the junk playing field. Then another fifteen minutes to be at a distance to safely engage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of form drew a groan from all three of the Male. hoot, here they thought they 'd be home in LE than an hour. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of warning signal go off.

Looking over the readings all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life signs. They were faint, though they were there.

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

Sighing the world-class ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't think I could last with myself. ``

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



Hartwell was at his wits 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, darned A.I.

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

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

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

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

'' I wanted to let you acknowledge, we have heavy body process within that area where the shield is. '' Lowell Jackson Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

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

doubting Thomas nodded as a topographic map appeared between them. Pointing Thomas stated, `` all indicant are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this clearing. Unfortunately, the cuticle is making taking readings within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to watch. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the area closer. Damn, if he did n't know, that area, looked a lot like the post near an old abandoned dugout. He and William used to playact there as fry. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of plans of the Same domain. program that were below the surface well within a cave system.

'' Does the shield extend through the priming coat ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few seconds Lowell Jackson Thomas stared a moment, then a widely grinning broke over his characteristic. `` Pulling that up now admiral. '' Thomas the doubting Apostle was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the open. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through various more mapping. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a hill. `` That 's it, if I remember rightfield that goes through to the inside of the carapace. ``

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

'' Just a lot of the rangers, especially the one that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a electric switch. `` Celeste, I need a study on the condition of chieftain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral flush. Captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as spartan as first of all thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel William Harrison Dempsey will require at least another day. ``

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

'' wellspring sir, Colonel William Harrison Dempsey would deliver been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss 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 break away through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the plight that Manassa Mauler was now in.

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

Between his gasp for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his mouth three hardening of alarms went off.

'' warning signal ! Alert ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a lead path to the last engagement. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' 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 liaison in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At award sir, we ca n't get a positive id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon muscularity is screwing up the systems. They moved across the bounds a short time ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' dungeon an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that vast flying field of residual ripalon energy, we do n't risk 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 preliminary to another invasion ? Like the commanding officer said, he 'd have to hold open his eye on them.

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

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female started to shout. Hartwell could only rock his school principal as he watched on the view screen.

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

Jonathon appeared with a stunned look on his expression. `` Apparently admiral prime of life, the female awoke reaching to me to get my attending. When her hand made contact with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to make believe her screeching louder. ``

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

The female hitch toward Hartwell then replied, `` Jehovah sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to start up operations. I would bow down 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 was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

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

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

The distaff cast her eyes down, then the rent started to come faster. `` I am sorry Lord sir. I did not stand for to waste liquidness in front of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``

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

'' I am wasting something Lord sir. However you wish to punish me, I will go for. It is after all your right as a male. '' The female person told him.

Hartwell 's backtalk dropped open as he could only gaze at her momentarily. `` That is the fully grown freight of diddley I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his natural action as the female person started to shake violently.

Without raising her eyes the female whispered, `` When you kill me lord sir, could you delight cook it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from veneration, more from the extreme anger he was feeling. What the hell variety 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 voice low he stated, `` I am not going to shoot down you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Divine sir, I am in a government medical place. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many Thomas More undecomposed genteelness years in me. ``

Hartwell 's oculus went extensive as he stared at the female in incredulity. Again the female drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section of the table 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 lips trembling, `` The conglomerate that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even Thomas More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are persona of the barbaric hoard that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his backtalk. `` Not as barbaric as your multitude, to assail with so many ships ! tike would n't come in as big a power if they did n't mean to invade. ''

'' Lord 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 drear Lord sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We females do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to take heed such, let alone love of them. '' The female whispered her promontory as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this spell of events. Sighing he looked away from the female person. Damn it, was going to be a long few next days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to celebrate his uncle River Trent from exploding. The moron that had brought the weapon up had forgotten the ammunition. His eyes all-encompassing, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

'' Did you finally wield to get those idiots to get it here ? Trento asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a secure spell. They said they took what you said literally. You said bring up the equipment aught else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trento shook his head, `` honey god, how in the underworld are they still alive ? You 'd intend that they were impudent than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to blow up again if he did n't still him.

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

'' That 's about the only matter they are. '' Trent grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the artillery was moved into posture. Trent smiled with an almost elated look on his face. `` fire ! Blow the hell out of that seat, plus the asshole in there ! '' River Trent yelled.

Inside the bunker the pock face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial word heavy 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 make a retreat, NOW ! '' The drawing card was yelling.

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

The concussion of the showtime hit, knocked all of them off their feet. The loss leader was up with the Duke over his berm as a s bam hit a little further back. Cursing, the Leader took off as he heard several of his men shrieking, then nothing.

Trent 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 caught a few of those trailing.

'' Son of a bitch ! '' Trento was yelling as he saw that of the two in front line, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the asshole was injured, at to the lowest degree it looked that way. 'Bout sentence that ass got back some of the infliction he 'd been giving for years.

Trent was about to beam men after them, when there was a commotion at the back of the inner circle. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a vox following to him shocked him.

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

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

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` police chief, David Greeson of the imperial particular force-out. '' Shaking both men 's hands they both looked at each other shocked.

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

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

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

'' Imperial particular force-out ? Then the emperor is cognisant of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor butterfly is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep hint as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get espouse, so he went back to the Imperial home world. The remainder of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

William watched the completely conversation still not completely convince. `` How are we to have it away that you are n't just a plant life by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a animal foot off the base. `` I am in no way an evil, glorification seeking ass ! Do not make the mistake thinking we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thump, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been utterly at least thirty transactions ago. ``

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

Greeson held up his hand to barricade William. `` I am not here to suffer you, rather to help. Besides I am for sure that SHE would be pretty plastered if I did ache you. ``

William and River 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 heart. `` Why Miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's mouths dropped open up, even as a all-encompassing grin spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most authoritative people in the imperium. ``

Greeson was smiling even encompassing as both males seemed to be shine understood. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all River Trent could get out.

William finally found his voice then sank to his articulatio genus. bust were starting to menstruate as he stated, `` She 's animated ? My god she 's active ! ''
