Derrick was moving through the admittance way toward the independent discussion section of the shipyard. Ahead to his properly faculty Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. Sergeant first stratum Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to fill them quietly no noise. Shaking his chief he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As repose as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guard duty away with little to no noise.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the buddy-buddy security system door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a present moment later the door clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to broadcast out looking for any more safeguard. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the office that was here. Apparently the ship M had been infiltrated by some really bad grapheme. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an detonation on the transport as it moved away from the ship cubic yard.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the master hallway. So far the CAT scan had indicated thirty men that were here, well XX eight now. All the reports had said that thirty body had been found after the rapture had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guards. ‘ Damn'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at to the lowest degree eight out here, and another eight at the next join. Might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the last two or three might set off the warning device. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a here and now as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the multitude from the transportation were being held. A simple ten proceedings later they were well inside about to make a move when an warning signal went off.

'' What 's with all the darn noise ? '' A gravid man with several scars on his older face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer near sentry duty stagnant sir, '' came the vox of a Pres Young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! Leave three here with me, ought to be enough to assure these scared pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Gregory John Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the spinal column of the bulwark picking their positions. Taking a recondite breath Derrick knew that this following persona was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.

All four of the literary pirate whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The older scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the elbow room he said, `` You 're beat you piece of shit ! ''

haste toward the wall, the leader only heard the outset then the bit of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the elbow room with a hole in it. A moment later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female person in the room the man shouted to the air placing a repelling knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's bushed whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different focal point were heard. Then the knife was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a jam in the side of his straits.

Derrick ran out to crack on Shiloh and Duncan Grant. `` deputy battle of Shiloh, guarantee Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their mouths hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have caller. I want you and concede to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their rear.

President Grant snapped to aid as did Shiloh. `` Will do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a substantially position. Touching his ear he said. `` postulate them all no survivor ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's depressed reply.

'' Happy to clean up the filth. '' Norman said with a smile.

The next ten minutes could only be described as a blood bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. ineffective to see their targets the final few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a retentive time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the transmission channel.

'' air force officer ? '' Came the vocalization of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a second later.

'' Just wanted to let you have intercourse that we are secure. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.

'' wife and four tike ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd care to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. bedamn it ! Why in the blaze had n't he thought that they might be married AND have children. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all lone hand like he was.

'' sure air force officer, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to re-start the plasma parkway so it 's going to be at least an time of day. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, skillful then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn sass. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to fulfil the man she says kept me alive to number back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' wellspring, I 'm sword lily I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a hint of laughter in his articulation. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly unappeasable as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so fiddling fourth dimension !

Turning toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all hell breakout loose. I really do n't want to be here when the Texas Ranger arrive. It 's going to accept all Tempro has to get net enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

'' Are we in danger commander ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't opine so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just pull through them all ? '' Jessye Norman said with a grim fount.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather retain it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past. No I have to proceed things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking battle of Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with prominent middle then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes Sire, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's thoughts.

[ `` effective send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table side by side to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely belittled electronic pieces appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a readable signal for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to render minimal damage. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the rapture was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asiatic looking woman walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so gladiolus to finally meet you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the woman. Now he could see why Gunter battle of Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the next few hours are n't too much of a tenseness to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the deal of the XVI and xiv twelvemonth old sons of the woman. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of battle of Pittsburgh Landing. Slyly he patted all three of the males on the back as he moved toward where battle of Pittsburgh Landing and President Grant were in the command of the ship.

Both men stood to drink Derrick as he came in. `` sword lily to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.

Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an minute. Can we give you and your men a drive ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised look.

'' I know when Sir Thomas More than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the loss leader went down. Two crack from two different directions. snake pit if I did n't sleep with better I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Duncan Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are idle. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alert and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a portion of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Grant and Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heading. `` I 'm glad you got to fit the phratry. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some delicately male child police lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding battle of Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't fulfil a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four small fry when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

battle of Shiloh 's eyes got all-inclusive then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Shiloh ! You better not be in the plasma reactor way again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''

'' I have to go deputy ; I just hope our paths Cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breather. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to bring him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are clear. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. lead off away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only take a instant ; do you really have to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six metrical unit two inch stature. `` I 'll meet her one day deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the adjacent few hours ? You hold that little missy tight, very tight understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a look of surprise and worry on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying yesteryear Derrick, battle of Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other incline of the reactor elbow room watching the engineer.

His work force on his coxa he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her read/write head she gulped a bit at the feel on her father 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in difficulty ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out offspring gentlewoman ! '' Shiloh told her with a depressed look on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to make battle of Pittsburgh Landing to laugh. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her Padre.

'' Hmmmm, not for sure, though this is a serious affair to withstand over your question do n't you reckon ? '' Gunter said a low smile small smile on his rim.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his head as he touched the black curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hand on his mentum. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! ejaculate on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to exit. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the Commander 's final Holy Scripture came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little missy tight, very pie-eyed understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a conjunction that the commanding officer had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his married woman. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the ascendance elbow room Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't grant her in there. '' Came her reply.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange feeling. I have n't had one like this in a farseeing time last-place time was with the Commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can see almost fear in your voice ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her tight hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled look. Almost the Lapplander thing that the commander had said !

Making his way to the control way he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when battle of Pittsburgh Landing looked over to Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then will.

'' Levels await estimable, all hatches closed, all Navy SEAL good. No breach, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, fix when you are sir. '' Grant told him.

Shiloh was about to activate the locomotive engine when he noticed they were still a footling close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put Thomas More than a mere thousand km between us and the station. Did you notify the fire warden of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no middleman. '' Ulysses Grant told him.

Something was nagging at battle of Shiloh 's mentality more as he watched them start to finally slue further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger command. This is transport R-00101. Do you read me fire warden command ? ''

A moment later there was a crepitation as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. Repeat you -- - -- - in high spirits -- -- - area. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signaling.

'' Command we we 're attacked by sea rover. Please send assistant to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` Crap ca n't look to get through. Guess we need to get further away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometre and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine control battle of Pittsburgh Landing pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his head broke release !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control chair. damn it he hated to expect like this ! `` metre ? ''

'' Information says that the ship exploded five second from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly pass water its way further from the station. `` 4000 klick, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficulty retrieving the finish two ! Sire I am afraid I am going to lose them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the controller stimulant key dining table as he was typing riotous than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would bite my IMT out completely. It would require at to the lowest degree a calendar week to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't mislay them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's eyes had tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT arrangement together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one XX, one thirty five. Now at one 50. ''

'' I have them sire the increment is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to fall from her eyes. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no Sir Thomas More. I can feel the system starting to fail. ''

Derrick heard a distant plosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you very well ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT organization has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my scheme. I 'm afraid I will accept to regen for a prison term. I 'm dark I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with weeping in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the trading floor near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious battle of Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.

The miss struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to wake her beginner up. `` pa, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering science again delight pa ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little missy asked, `` Can you please help my daddy ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little girl staring at the spot he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his face.

'' Of class mister, '' the little girl said as a strange look came over her face. `` It 's a spot for the fear of the infirm, pallid, or injured ; hospital or facility serving as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the youngster. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please be Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is pappa going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as papa was reaching to do something with the controller. I heard him yell as he held me besotted then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a one-half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprisal he could hardly move. A small girl 's giggle drew his attention to the former side of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the little missy threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to settle from her optic. `` I was so scared I was going to recede you ! ''

'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' Well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite Imperial shielder ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A jump Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to happen fourteen others. ''

'' air force officer ! lamb God it 's honorable to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to rise then struggle to get idle. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few metre myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.

'' I 'm amercement daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent wellness. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of twinkle appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her manus through his visage with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please get her to stop doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial intelligence service of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspire as Shelly giggled passing her bridge player and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please stop passing your hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a unknown feeling and light in her optic. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light field as an intervention pattern of seemingly random variation in the opacity, concentration, or surface profile of the photographic culture medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the Whitney Young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you have enquiry ? ''

Still with a strange look on her aspect she asked, `` Are you generated via lens and lasers ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no matter what the light is in the room. I can be made with electron lens and optical maser though they are rude and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to set up a system to allow for you a way to subsist outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current technology that it might not be potential for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the little girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's eyes got turgid. `` We have to get her to shut out that area of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will shoot down her ! ''
Derrick looked at the missy completely at a personnel casualty for the first sentence in a long prison term. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the apprehensive father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's pop. Come back to me baby girl, it 's ok just come back to pop. '' Gunter said.

Softly at first then they all saw the tears start from her heart they heard. `` Daddy ? dada ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the small young woman was running to her father as she threw her arm around him. The sole sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her forefather 's chest of drawers.

Then they all heard a sigh as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a replete analysis of her. Find out if there is a way to help oneself her ... somehow. ''

Another threshold opened as President Grant walked in. `` You better let his wife out soon or we 're going to take in a BIG problem with that little woman. She damn near took my foreland off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the terminal time you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't leave yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` pitiful Tempro. ‘ cum in here to tell me to relax I am either going to violently defeat them or put a maw in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh crap ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is genuine make. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's eyes got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight person here. explicate you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. Close off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the door then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''

A moment later a rather angry Asian woman walked in with three boy. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly tears started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring across-the-board eyed at the checkup room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to bump a way to serve Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the only miss I have or will ever suffer. I damned near go bad having her I can never have children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another round of split. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him give thanks you as she went to her daughter
