Lost Empire 20 ( 0 )
Derrick was n't well-chosen, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this gaudery and crap was starting to wear upon really thin on his forbearance. He 'd just released part of the shell around the palace but was n't fix to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threats out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other script was thrilled to no final stage to give homo soundbox within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 geezerhood. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.
Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few minute later, `` What did your command say about all the test copy that we provided them ? ''
'' That 's the thing, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed most of it, they told me to maintain radio brownout. I guess they are also afraid that dictation has been inundated with spy. I had always thought that statement was the one place that would n't have spies, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was untimely. ''
'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of metre to penetrate the ranks. I had Mary relay a message to the top ship's officer about the tests that we have designed. I 'll let them know the effect as soon as we test it out on that one gang phallus. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this trial run was going to be as terminal as those in the past times had been.
Sighing Hartwell was n't all that felicitous about having a spy on board, though the thought of losing a crew fellow member did n't appeal to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.
thought, Derrick was at a loss a consequence, `` Hmm, '' he said then an theme started to constitute. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an idea, first we 'll bring her here then ... ''
1st specialist national flag Callie stared at the Brobdingnagian room that she was in. What a complete wasteland of space and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her nous she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this duty assignment ; she was a tech specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the Rear Admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with sandy blond hair and disconsolate browned eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.
Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to make indisputable that the artillery was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a determined gait now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally thank you for your ..., '' Derrick started.
Callie pulled the arm from her pocket and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the stool, the nobleman will never let you decree ! '' Then to her horror the shaft of light of the weapon system passed through the Emperor striking the ground where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the ground the surprise still on her face.
Derrick appeared a moment later, `` Take her to the interrogation way I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to record all of this. '' There was a thrive of activity while the untested woman was transported to the aforementioned room. Derrick watched as Madonna attached various chasteness and began scanning the woman looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found nothing, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to find all personal manner of concealed weapons, poisons, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that several more scans that he 'd added to Mary 's repertoire of tests still had n't been used. Again as Mary started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the hidden arsenal began to steadily grow.
A few instant later Derrick nodded when the last of the hidden weapons were taken off. Shaking his principal Derrick knew he had his workplace cut out for him. Nodding to Blessed Virgin, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to look across the room second later. Nodding again Derrick watched as The Virgin administered another injection. With a groan the young woman 's eye fluttered open.
'' Rear admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled question.
'' fountainhead you tried to assassinate the emperor moth, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to eliminate the emperor. '' Hartwell told her a slight growling to his voice. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd green shaft on the cleaning woman 's head.
At outset nothing happened then the woman 's face twisted into a sadistic grinning. A different vocalization soon erupted from her sassing. `` So your misfortunate, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an real challenge after all. Hello you mechanically skillful bitch ! '' The phonation shouted at The Virgin. `` I know that nothing will phase you, at least not 'til she is stagnant. ''
'' As you suspected forefather, the political platform would feature had me administer a lethal quantity of radiation. All tier are constant, you may proceed my Jehovah. '' Blessed Virgin told Derrick a moment later.
'' HA ! Enjoy your little victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not potential ! You have not had the time to ... '' Looking at Derrick the charwoman 's face twisted into rage. `` You will hear nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your level of ... ''
'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will respond me now or suffer bother unlike any you have ever known. We can excerpt you and simply drain what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the voice coming from the young charwoman.
'' You would n't dare, even if you had the capability, '' the spokesperson spit back at Derrick.
'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A bombastic arm came out of the paries with a set of antediluvian earphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the woman 's head.
The vocalization began to laugh, `` You have n't the bowel to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Madonna, as the stream began to hang through the equipment an eerie scream began to issue from the charwoman 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''
Smiling Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're dead any way you look at it, so you going to spill the beans ? ''
The woman 's nerve twisted into another masquerade party of madness as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving commonwealth trash ! ''
'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soul core. well in a way all the pain that you feel in demise will. wellspring, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the phonation then moved off as the charwoman 's hired man produced another artillery and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, alright Mary no more. ''
Blessed Virgin nodded with a little grinning on her sassing as electric current again flowed through the equipment. This time the vocalisation screamed even louder for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's physical structure finally unloose relaxed. Derrick looked at the percentage of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to start a reign as Emperor he thought.
'' Alright Virgin Mary, '' Derrick said as the hologram of him disappeared and he reappeared across the room near the room access. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''
'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not have much time. I will exhibit all that I retrieve as soon as the mental process is finished. '' Mary told Derrick with a small smile on her font.
Pulling a modest blue magnetic disk from a guardian in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby slot. `` Mary computer programme rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, smidgin, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes father I am ... sire ? Is this the last of it ? '' Mary asked startled.
'' No I am afraid that it will only destroy about another 10 % of the plan, I estimate that we have eradicated 87 % of it now. '' Derrick told her.
'' No father I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to destruction has been delayed another 2 years. The rest of the political program will reach my core in another 10 twelvemonth. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in only months, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' Large tears were falling from Mary 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this building block a opportunity to live again. '' Here Madonna bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his pass in frustration.
'' Mary is there any way that we can prepare her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a okay police officer and I 'd detest for the forest fire fighter to drop off her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few moments later as he looked down on the young woman.
'' I believe that the program you were working on earlier just might mould, though I could go in and beef up her creative thinker. I am afraid that it would take a few years though. '' The Virgin told Derrick as he had started to go over the data point they had so far.
'' Here The Virgin, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the cabinet and started typing at blinding speed again. Those in the way backed up a considerable distance as they all watched Derrick with open mouths. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really null new to him.
A few arcminute later Derrick stepped back waiting for Mary to assimilate all that he 'd just tote up. `` Yes forefather, '' came The Virgin 's reply as she started to incorporate all of the new syllabus Derrick had just written. `` Going over all scans now, I am picking up anomalous vitality readings right before the artillery was pulled. Yes forefather I believe I can hike her idea to the point that she can resist them without trying. Though I must admonish sire, they will hump that she was aided. ''
Derrick thought on that a moment, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their factor were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console Derrick started to type for several moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to obscure it, not the better but I think it will work. At to the lowest degree 'til it 's too late for the soul beginning and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''
Mary was looking over the new data point that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an literal challenge for her. smiling, she was starting to conceive that this man would be the cracking emperor of all, though he still had to get the rest of the Empire to light in demarcation.
1st specialist Ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the easy cot ... no wait she was in a bed ? ! What in the nether region was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her head feeling as if the reality was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking adult female with grey hair watching her.
'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a moment later.
'' I am Mary ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic theatrical of the A.I. '' Madonna smiled at the adult female sweetly.
'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the can room then I saw the emperor butterfly. I felt such rage then an almost giddiness at the thought of killing him then aught 'til I awoke here. What in the hell is going on ? '' The astray eyed and almost panicked woman said. She 'd recollect the performance and was afraid that she was next in line for the Saame.
'' No, you are not a captive ; you were under the influence of one of the sects. One religious order that wishes to transfer the emperor butterfly before he can act out legal philosophy to rid the beetleweed of them. '' Madonna told the now shaking char.
'' What is to get of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what penalization will I face ? '' The shaking woman asked having backed into a corner truly afraid that she 'd never again see the light of day.
'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the Emperor explain. '' Blessed Virgin told the woman.
A moment later a hologram of the same tall, sandy blond hairsbreadth and dark brownness eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` hullo Callie, I am emperor Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a delegacy that I think you would be extremely concern in. ''
'' Me ? Why me ? I am naught a nobody. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Virgin Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''
'' A hologram ? '' A wide of the mark smiling Derrick finished for her causing her oral cavity to send packing open. `` True due to ... uh fortune and various hundred protocol, I can not be there at this moment but trust me this is interactive. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only nodding, her wonderment at the hologram grabbing almost all her attending.
'' Anyway we have a mission that I feel will send a message to the sects. I will not send you without your consent but they will find oneself you and try to take out what they put in your header. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an hour to ascertain it is truly gone. The thing is if there is zero to take out they will kill you. So young ma'am are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok rest and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.
'' Are you in motivation of a meal ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very fine chef who can construct whatever you request to get your strength back. ''
Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the hologram DID say that she could have got whatever she wanted.
Derrick sat a import thinking of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Virgin Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost fourth dimension for the adjacent ship 's emergence. '' Virgin Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a full time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist, `` time to emergence ? ''
'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few hours Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.
'' Alright IMT, '' within irregular Derrick was on the bridge. All the ship holograph appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand guard over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any former. ''
'' I thank you Sire I will do the easily I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.
'' Conner I need you to companion Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signals I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.
'' Yes your lordship it is an honor. '' Conner replied bowing low.
'' Tempro I need you to detain here and provide musical accompaniment for Zan only if it is necessary. '' Derrick ordered.
'' Yes Sire, I will endeavor to help protect them both if necessity. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.
'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinates to Conner. ''
'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar lead up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Virgin Mary tracked them all the way across the wandflower. Shaking her head she knew she was in for a truly epic reign by Derrick O'Toma.
Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a astronomic rim scheme. `` Shelby can you notice any life out here ? '' Derrick asked her.
'' Beginning scans now, the third and last world of this organisation has an area I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moments later. `` Switching Energy Department now, I am getting version though something is starting to modulate the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A mo later a blast hit the shell effectively rocking the ship.
'' Shelby, Conner, damage study ! '' Derrick yelled.
'' No damage, no direct hit sire, '' Conner told him.
'' No morphological damage, the blast had deficient energy to make any damage. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a admonition. As the good time was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more tycoon than what we just witnessed. An effective monition to say the least Derrick, orders on how to go ? ''
Derrick looked at the readings a moment then replied, `` unfold a canal Shelby let me spill to who is down there, maybe we can give a minuscule monition of our own. ''
Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All set up Derrick. ''
'' To the unidentified assailants, this is emperor butterfly O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a superior force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.
Suddenly Derrick address was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to go on, this is restrict space and I will use deadly strength to hold it. '' The voice shouted at them.
Derrick smiled still the same hot oral sex he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was next. `` So Rayb still as much a hot read/write head as you used to be huh ? ''
'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that lowest ? Could bank you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock onto Rayburn the moment he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a bit later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that damnable password ... Ray..b. What the hell is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the program line hot seat. `` commanding officer ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still alert ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a furious hug. `` Damn it sir ! We were all told that you were utter ! ''
Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive build up of vitality from his residence I am afraid that it will go critical if no action is taken. ''
Rayburn 's mouth dropped open as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a ejection within a self contained arrangement of a three-dimensional figure ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''
Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the last one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our flow job ? ''
'' Can you effect a shutdown of the organisation ? '' Derrick asked her.
'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will cause a monolithic power feedback destroying half of the satellite. Just decrease the input major power to the 5 central nodes ; that should render the system in standby mood. '' Rayburn advised.
'' Thank you sir I would receive discovered that fact 2.3 sec too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.
'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully animate, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced artificial word. '' Rayburn fell to his knee joint, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like stay here for an extended period of time ? At least 'til I expire ? ''
Laughing Derrick patted the man on the back, `` I felt quite the Sami way Rayburn, though I must monish against trying to pry too far. ''
'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the hologram of Shelby.
'' They do n't wish anyone probing too far in their store tour they can put up quite a filthy blow. '' Derrick told the man with a grinning. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.
'' Are you sure you are Commander O'Toma ? He never seemed to empathise what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experiment that had almost killed him.
'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his head word mumbling to his self. `` Seven buffers yes, sync electrical condenser, overload drainpipe good, safe. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no backup in type of basal unsuccessful person ! You are one golden son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could have cut out and took you with it ! ``
Derrick was startled a import then began to smile, maledict he was glad that Rayburn was on panel he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.
'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I enumerate on you ? I need a trouble torpedo like you in the new Empire. ''
Rayburn stared at Derrick for the long fourth dimension then tears began to slowly gloaming from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a hard time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to deliver me around. Are you sure you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a type of stay PTSD it is n't like what about have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can go extremely violent, are you really for sure sir ? ''
Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the worry he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell jam. We got him out and he, for honest pick of words is a hell on earth of a lot better. I think we can avail you without a great deal problem, Mary ? ''
A here and now later the hologram of Mary appeared, `` Yes sire ? ''
'' I need you to glance over Rayburn here, distinguish me if his term is curable. '' Derrick told the holograph.
Rayburn 's rima oris dropped open, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not potential. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipe Derrick had been using a few days before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.
'' police sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a moment the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to advance again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose face registered shock then he slumped to the pack of cards.
'' Really, your Lordship you have to arrest putting yourself in these state of affairs ! '' Mary told Derrick shaking her finger at him as if she would a shaver. `` Sire it is extremely difficult to protect you if you are out here so often. ''
'' Just scan Rayburn and see if we can repair the damage that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.
A humble rectangular shaped light panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie green beam that swept back and forth across the man 's head. A few minutes later the wanton dialog box retreated, `` I have finished sire. It appears that this man has a senior high school state of immunity to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will fill at to the lowest degree three discussion. I am sorry Sire, but his in high spirits opposition requires that I go slower. ''
Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Virgin Mary, there is no want to apologize, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its self a small miracle. ''
'' No forefather, no miracle just a science that seems to take been lost over the centuries that the imperium has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to estimate his reaction.
'' We really necessitate to bring in the empire back to what it was Virgin Mary. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for nothing. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Blessed Virgin was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is wrong Mary ? ''
'' You, '' Mary started, `` embody all that the firstly emperor butterfly did. I am so very proud to be able to serve another man as great as he was father. ''
'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right. This Empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by petty covetousness and jealously. All the things I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his mind drifted back to the past for a few minutes.
On add-in Tempro the inadequate cropped blond hairsbreadth, medium build man, with a smoothen grimace was worried. So far none of the experiment had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Madonna was n't going to be happy he 'd taste all 100,000 tissue paper sampling that he had, nada had worked. They had all failed each almost as atrocious as the last, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of imbalance with him.
Mary appeared a few moments later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a slim break down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not mean to cause you such pain. I know that the experiments all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a convention. ''
Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embracement of Mary then the tear started. `` I am so gloomy mother that I have failed so much. A radiation diagram mother ? '' Nodding Virgin Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the sample distribution so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to fail.
Madonna stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of unsuccessful person. Smiling this fourth dimension he 'd find out all the index number and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Madonna it made things a whole lot easier when the dead body had no real cognisance or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a chance to win ; unfortunately they would have got to have Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the Saturnia pavonia.
Shelby and Conner emerged near the Moon of the imperial world. Derrick was preparing to go back to the palace when Zan called.
'' Yes Zan is everything alright ? '' Derrick said.
'' Yes Sire, I thought you would like to know my wing mate is gear up. '' Zan told Derrick excited.
'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest addition to the fleet.
'' Yes Sire, '' A Young, slender, long unbent Brown haired teen appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to talk to all the A.I. 's about appearing nude ).
'' I 'm not sure if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the name that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new hologram.
Still bowing the young teen nodded, `` Yes sire it will be so. ''
'' So delight what was the epithet that you were called. '' Derrick smiled delight that this was going as well as it was.
Shyly at first the teenager looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry Sire. ''
Derrick 's mouth dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
