Derrick was n't happy, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this pomp and crap was starting to wear really thin on his forbearance. He 'd just released function of the shield around the palace but was n't quick to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threat out there to let his guard down yet. Virgin Mary on the early bridge player was thrilled to no remainder to have human soundbox within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 twelvemonth. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few hours later, `` What did your command say about all the proof that we provided them ? ''

'' That 's the thing, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed near of it, they told me to maintain radio blackout. I guess they are also afraid that command has been inundated with undercover agent. I had always thought that bid was the one place that would n't have spies, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was awry. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of prison term to infiltrate the membership. I had Mary relay a message to the top military officer about the mental test that we have designed. I 'll let them know the results as soon as we test it out on that one crew member. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this test was going to be as terminal as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that happy about having a spy on board, though the thought of losing a bunch penis did n't invoke to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

Thinking, Derrick was at a departure a moment, `` Hmm, '' he said then an thought started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an melodic theme, first we 'll bring her here then ... ''

1st specialist ensign Callie stared at the huge elbow room that she was in. What a complete waste of space and money she thought walking around the commode room. Shaking her question she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this assignment ; she was a technical school specializer not a soldier. Sighing she 'd hold to get with the Rear Admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with sandy blonde hair and dark Robert Brown optic greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to spend a penny certainly that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a determined pace now to her stride. Looking up at the approaching distaff Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally thank you for your ..., '' Derrick started.

Callie pulled the weapon from her sack and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the stool, the nobleman will never let you rule ! '' Then to her revulsion the electron beam of the arm passed through the emperor butterfly striking the reason where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the dry land the surprisal still on her face.

Derrick appeared a moment later, `` Take her to the inquiry 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 flourish of activity while the young womanhood was transported to the aforementioned elbow room. Derrick watched as Virgin Mary attached several simpleness 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 receive all manner of hidden weapon system, poisons, and mighty micro explosives. Shaking his oral sex Derrick saw that several more scans that he 'd added to Mary 's repertory of tests still had n't been used. Again as Madonna started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the hidden armory began to steadily spring up.

A few minutes later Derrick nodded when the last of the hidden artillery were taken off. Shaking his headland Derrick knew he had his study cut out for him. Nodding to The Virgin, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to come out across the room moments later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Blessed Virgin administered another injection. With a moan the unseasoned woman 's optic fluttered spread.

'' behind admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled question.

'' Well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to eliminate the emperor moth. '' Hartwell told her a slender growl to his phonation. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd unripe ray of light on the fair sex 's head word.

At maiden nada happened then the woman 's look twisted into a sadistic smile. A different voice soon erupted from her mouth. `` So your pathetic, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. hello you mechanical bitch ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that naught will phase you, at least not 'til she is dead. ''

'' As you suspected forefather, the programs would suffer had me administer a lethal measure of irradiation. All levels are constant, you may go my lord. '' Mary told Derrick a moment later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your picayune victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the prison term to ... '' Looking at Derrick the woman 's grimace twisted into rage. `` You will learn nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your tier of ... ''

'' Who ordered the carrying into action ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will answer me now or suffer painfulness unlike any you have ever known. We can extract you and simply enfeeble what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the voice coming from the unseasoned womanhood.

'' You would n't presume, even if you had the capability, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A large arm came out of the wall with a set of ancient headphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the adult female 's drumhead.

The articulation began to express mirth, `` You have n't the catgut to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary, as the current began to flow through the equipment an eerie scream began to egress from the charwoman 's back talk. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not potential stop ! You 're killing me ! ''

grin Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're dead any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''

The adult female 's face twisted into another masquerade of passion as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving Republic scum ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soul core. Well in a way all the painful sensation that you feel in dying will. Well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the vocalisation then moved off as the cleaning woman 's hand produced another weapon system and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so squashy, alright Madonna no more. ''

Virgin Mary nodded with a little grinning on her back talk as stream again flowed through the equipment. This time the voice screamed even louder for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; Hades of a way to set out a reign as emperor butterfly he thought.

'' Alright Mary, '' Derrick said as the hologram of him disappeared and he reappeared across the room near the door. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not stimulate much time. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' Madonna told Derrick with a small smiling on her face.

Pulling a small blue disk from a protector in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby slot. `` Mary program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, iota, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes sire I am ... sire ? Is this the finish 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 Sire I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to wipeout has been delayed another 2 eld. The remainder of the program will reach my magnetic core in another 10 years. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in lone months, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' Large tears were falling from Virgin Mary 's eyes, `` thank you sire, you have given this social unit a chance to exist again. '' Here Mary bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his heading in frustration.

'' Mary is there any way that we can groom her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a mulct policeman and I 'd hate for the forest fire fighter to fall behind her. '' Derrick asked Virgin Mary a few moments later as he looked down on the young charwoman.

'' I believe that the course of study you were working on earlier just might work, though I could go in and strengthen her mind. I am afraid that it would take a few daylight though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data 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 room backed up a considerable distance as they all watched Derrick with surface oral fissure. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for Blessed Virgin to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes Sire, '' came Madonna 's reply as she started to incorporate all of the new plan Derrick had just written. `` Going over all scans now, I am picking up anomalous vigor readings right before the weapon was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can hike up her mind to the point that she can withstand them without trying. Though I must caution Sire, they will know 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 table Derrick started to type for respective present moment then stepped back. `` I think that might help oneself to hide it, not the best but I think it will bring. At least 'til it 's too late for the soul source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new information that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an existent challenge for her. Smiling, she was starting to trust that this man would be the slap-up Emperor of all, though he still had to get the rest of the Empire to fall in melodic phrase.

1st specialist ensign Callie awoke an time of day later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the easygoing cot ... no wait she was in a bed ? ! What in the hell was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her capitulum feeling as if the reality was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking fair sex with grey-haired hair watching her.

'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a moment later.

'' I am The Virgin ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic mental representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the woman sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the throne room then I saw the Emperor. I felt such furore then an almost giddiness at the thought of killing him then nothing 'til I awoke here. What in the hell is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost panicky woman said. She 'd recollect the carrying out and was afraid that she was side by side in line of merchandise for the same.

'' No, you are not a captive ; you were under the influence of one of the sects. One sect that wishes to transfer the emperor butterfly before he can ordain practice of law to rid the galaxy of them. '' The Virgin told the now shaking cleaning woman.

'' What is to turn of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what punishment will I look ? '' The shaking cleaning 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 moth explain. '' Mary told the woman.

A moment later a hologram of the same tall, flaxen blond hair and dark brownish eyed man she 'd seen before come along. `` hullo Callie, I am Emperor Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a charge that I think you would be extremely concerned in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am nothing a nobody. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A holograph ? '' A wide smiling Derrick finished for her causing her sassing to drop open. `` dead on target due to ... uh circumstances and various hundred communications protocol, I can not be there at this moment but hope me this is interactive. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only cernuous, her admiration at the hologram grabbing almost all her attention.

'' Anyway we have a deputation that I feel will broadcast a substance to the sects. I will not broadcast you without your consent but they will find you and try to extract what they put in your head. Oh do n't interest it is gone we scan you once an hour to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is goose egg to convey out they will kill you. So young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her brain Derrick said, `` Ok rest and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in penury of a meal ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very hunky-dory chef who can name 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 whatever she wanted.

Derrick sat a import thought of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost meter for the next ship 's growth. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a replete metre 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 moment Derrick was on the bridge. All the ship holograms appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand safety device over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the honest I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.

'' Conner I need you to accompany Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signaling 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 last out here and provide support for Zan only if it is essential. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes Sire, I will endeavor to aid protect them both if necessary. '' Tempro said lofty and bowing.

'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinate to Conner. ''

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar jazz up of the railway locomotive then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the galaxy. Shaking her brain 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 astronomical rim organisation. `` Shelby can you detect any life sentence out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scan now, the third and finish man of this system has an area I am having difficultness penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few present moment later. `` Switching energy now, I am getting readings though something is starting to modulate the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A moment later a attack hit the shield effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, damage written report ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No damage, no direct hit sire, '' Conner told him.

'' No geomorphologic damage, the clap had insufficient Energy Department to cause any damage. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the bang was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more superpower than what we just witnessed. An effective admonition to say the least Derrick, orders on how to proceed ? ''

Derrick looked at the reading a second then replied, `` Open a transmission channel Shelby let me talk to who is down there, maybe we can give a footling warning of our own. ''

Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All gear up Derrick. ''

'' To the unknown quantity attacker, this is emperor moth O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a victor force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick words was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, emperor, or whomever you are to move on, this is restricted blank and I will use deadly force to defend it. '' The voice shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the Saame hot head he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was next. `` So Rayb still as much a hot head as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that net ? Could assert you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to interlock onto Rayburn the second he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a moment later the man was in battlefront of Derrick, `` that damnable watchword ... Ray..b. What the sin is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the mastery chair. `` COMMANDER ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still live ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a fierce hug. `` darn it sir ! We were all told that you were dead ! ''

Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive human body up of energy from his abode I am afraid that it will go critical if no action is taken. ''

Rayburn 's mouth dropped spread as he walked around the holograph of Shelby, `` My god a jutting within a self contained system of a three-d image ! 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 systems ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a keep out down ; it will get a massive power feedback destroying one-half of the satellite. Just decrease the remark mogul to the 5 cardinal nodes ; that should give the organisation in understudy musical mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would accept discovered that fact 2.3 instant too late. '' Shelby told the startle man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically perfective tense, cybernetic advanced artificial intelligence operation. '' Rayburn fell to his knees, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like arrest here for an go period of fourth dimension ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the back, `` I felt quite the like way Rayburn, though I must caution 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 memory board racing circuit they can provide quite a nasty shock. '' Derrick told the man with a grin. 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 empathize 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 post, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his forefront mumbling to his ego. `` Seven buffers yes, sync capacitors, overload drainpipe good, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no backup in caseful of primary failure ! You are one lucky son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could possess cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a instant then began to smile, damn he was sword lily that Rayburn was on panel he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I count on you ? I need a trouble gun for hire like you in the new Empire. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the tenacious metre then tears began to slowly fall from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a heavy time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have me around. Are you sure you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a type of delayed PTSD it is n't like what to the highest degree have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can turn extremely vehement, are you really for certain sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole meter, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the hassle he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that Hades jam. We got him out and he, for better choice of speech is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help you without lots job, Mary ? ''

A here and now later the hologram of Mary appeared, `` Yes Sire ? ''

'' I need you to read Rayburn here, secern me if his precondition is curable. '' Derrick told the holograph.

Rayburn 's sass 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.

'' Sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a present moment the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to get ahead again. Suddenly a current of electrical energy hit the man whose face registered jolt then he slumped to the deck.

'' Really, your Lordship you have to lay off putting yourself in these billet ! '' Madonna told Derrick shaking her finger at him as if she would a child. `` father it is extremely unmanageable to protect you if you are out here so much. ''

'' Just run down Rayburn and see if we can repair the hurt that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A diminished rectangular shaped visible light panel detached from the console table. Emitting an eerie commons light beam that swept back and Forth River across the man 's nous. A few minutes later the dismount panel retreated, `` I have finished father. It appears that this man has a highschool state of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take at least three treatments. I am pitiful forefather, but his higher resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Madonna, there is no want to apologize, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its self a diminished miracle. ''

'' No father, no miracle just a science that seems to have been lost over the centuries that the empire has been laying dormant. '' Blessed Virgin told Derrick watching him to gauge his reaction.

'' We really postulate to impart the conglomerate back to what it was The Virgin. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for zip. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that The Virgin was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is haywire Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Madonna started, `` embody all that the first emperor did. I am so very lofty to be able to process another man as great as he was father. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is correct. This imperium survived for over 800 class only to be destroyed by petty greed and jealously. All the thing I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his mind drifted back to the past for a few minutes.

On card Tempro the unawares cropped blond tomentum, sensitive build man, with a politic face was worried. So far none of the experiments had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Blessed Virgin was n't going to be happy he 'd tried all 100,000 tissue sample distribution that he had, nothing had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the finis, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

Mary appeared a few consequence later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to see a little break down in his programing. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not mean to induce you such pain. I know that the experiments all failed but I have gone over all the data point and I think I am beginning to see a formula. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Mary then the tears started. `` I am so sorry mother that I have failed so much. A traffic pattern mother ? '' Nodding Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the samples so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to fail.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of nonstarter. Smiling this meter he 'd observe all the indicant and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Madonna it made things a whole lot easier when the eubstance had no real consciousness or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a hazard to bring home the bacon ; unfortunately they would accept to have Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor butterfly.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the Imperial macrocosm. 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 increase to the fleet.

'' Yes Sire, '' A Danton True Young, slender, long straight brown haired adolescent appeared in forepart of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was skillful 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 immature teen nodded, `` Yes forefather it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled pleased that this was going as well as it was.

Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry Sire. ''

Derrick 's rima oris dropped love feast, holy crap he had n't expected this !
