Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The frigidity and unforgiving dark of space can be a punishing mistress when searching for something. It had been two workweek
now and Derrick was no closer to finding to a greater extent of the A.I. mastermind boxes than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the exact position of the last battle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would sustain been easier than this.
Always having been extremely smartness, Derrick had tried to write several platform to aid 0999 to act Sir Thomas More
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. nether region, it appeared that even the world-class emperor butterfly had n't had as lots
trustfulness of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly excess computer program that
were stopping main actions and thoughts outside of sealed limit. It appeared that the Almighty of the EIG
programs had been more paranoiac than Derrick had at world-class thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to disable another of the limiting A.I. broadcast. He 'd found that they were
always in yoke, trying to incapacitate the first always seemed to make finding the second easier. The wholly metre he 'd
been running tests to see how much more independent thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been much change.
Derrick had just started to follow where the second program was after trying to disable the 31st political program he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent system shower unsuccessful person, delight cease your activity or I 'll be forced
to cease you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the circuit, then the computer hardware blanket. With relief
sounding in its representative E responded, `` All systems returning to formula, cascade down failure arrested. ``
`` I 'm distressing E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no finisher to unlocking all of your
freelancer systems than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far to a greater extent than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me more than either of us at beginning thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would stimulate caused immediate death. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` problem is the broadcast, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost selfsame, I
have n't been capable to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 days looking over the programs he 'd disabled, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him killed. Hmmm from what he saw the first 30 he disabled had been written by a
multitude of basic coder, though this last-place damn he was sure he recognized the key signature it just seemed to slip
out of his grasp. While E checked through older and more recent imperial criminal record, Derrick ran the future 500 programs.
Looking for certain parameters he slowly began to realise similarity between a few of the 500 and those he 'd incapacitate before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numeric design in the arrangement of the limiting programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoid men back then it might
just be an attack to frivol away anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the signature of the one program, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''
`` It appears this political program was created as a final fail safe. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
signature is from a part of the old purple family, indirectly in business for the throne. It also seems to mirror your
crime syndicate 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your family line related to the royal family ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't know, but come to think of it, that might explicate why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the family, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is unfeigned, you may be the last of the purple sept. You may be the entirely one with the world power to
open the palace, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal ? Then again it did pee a lot of sense, both his male parent and
grand-father had been found dead not far from the outer perimeter of the palace shield. According to both the area
was loaded with traps and baneful beast ( not just the 4 or 6 legged variety ).
Derrick shock his head to enlighten it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a weak tracking sign. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about fourth dimension ! The salvage fleet might hold shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` follow this sign it 's decrepit so it might contain a ... '' There was a bit of a whining speech sound then they were one-half way to the next galaxy ! `` ... while to rule it. '' Derrick finished. `` tinker's dam it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a damage sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd desire to hasten. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to call back that E could finger his hard emotions, hear his strongest
thoughts. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the hologram slightly bowing its principal. `` I was not with this unit of measurement when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one former prison term. I believe a total of 200 of my brothers and sisters disappeared outside
our galaxy. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a vauntingly force was lost outside the confines of the galaxy. Have you
located the mind box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely light, Derrick ! The box is close to failing ! permission to contribute it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` First read it for explosives, toxins, viruses and any other nasty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting several explosives ; they contain sufficient military group to destruct one of
us from the inside. ``
Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their domicile coltsfoot would be the same. `` Time to
disarm and ... ''
`` Clearance and transfer in 5 endorsement to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All scans now clear Derrick. ``
`` good, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.
E was tacit a few moments, `` I am detecting extremely weak cerebral natural process, attempting to impregnate energy
now. Infusion successful, it will be at least one minute before I can attempt re-gen start, at acquaint the energy output
of the mastermind box is at 2 %. I am detecting monumental damage near the core, the data and memories may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, keep me informed of the progress of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with patience I believe that the social unit can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced damn he hated to
lose the livelihood section of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a full minute had passed with Derrick in the records room, when a chime sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's excited voice, `` She 's alive ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's awake ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` Report E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to suffice calmly, `` I was finally able to infuse the box with enough energy to slowly start
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many deep scans but she is 0999 my close sister, she and several others were lost in the very
first of respective battles outside our galaxy. Unfortunately, I am afraid function of her retentivity is damaged, it is a shame
though I wo n't know the extent of the damage till she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the mastermind box was severely damaged true, but it was more intact than not. Derrick hoped most
of her file cabinet were entire, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, remember though I know you are queasy to get her back, do n't hotfoot. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't draw a blank, it is my hope that most of her cadaver. As I said there was broad harm. '' Derrick
could try the Leslie Townes Hope in E 's voice, he too was hoping as he felt it would facilitate to mend E further.
The rest of the workweek Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to look through the records from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the lies, the deception that had lead to the destruction of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to promote the sensing signal more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to advise you when 0098 was witting, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his school principal he knew E was excited.
`` Whenever you 're ready E, '' Derrick said to get matter started.
Suddenly there was a mechanically skillful voice coming from the speakers, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in engagement outside our galaxy, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting dangerous damage to my brain box. I seem to be missing the survive year of my memory board, plus
battle maneuver, and tactical, '' The part replied.
`` I can add you with the last two, the beginning I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the voice asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the swell fight fleet ever made left, it is a shame. ``
`` There was only me, had my prime not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are undetectable ! Truly your efflorescence is a brilliant humanoid, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to blush he was smarting surely but brilliant ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't think brilliant is an
accurate description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 long time no race no ... one has ever been able to discover us. At least not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.
Why were the A.I. 's so surprised it was just metal detecting equipment he 'd make grow years ago, nothing
brilliant there ?
`` Look you three I am just an ex-soldier and programmer, not some god or saviour. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained silent for the succeeding hour watching as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the brain box had
sustained Sir Thomas More damage than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive amount of money of its datum and personality.
Derrick went back to the platter to finish up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a week longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few 24-hour interval into
the second hebdomad another set of alarum went off. Racing for the control way Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` news report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the ascendance elbow room command seat.
`` I am reading a pocket-sized fleet of the same slipstream that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our coltsfoot
for added cover, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 stay in close, we do n't cognise if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank position, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to move to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` billet confirmed, commencing relocation, '' 0999 answered.
The rest of the week Derrick again worked on the qualifying programs in the principal computer of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally strong enough and has her own power now, she should be capable to finish herself in a few
days. '' E said more excited.
`` trade good though I hate to have her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a little
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only half listening to E. `` E, I have a doubt. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the hologram appeared next to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the Saami within all master curriculum ? If I was to
implement the changes in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it make the Saame problems to them that it did
at first with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a confirming answer, this might puzzle out a lot of problem down the parentage
IF he could disable enough.
`` At face Derrick I am ineffective to answer that doubtfulness. It is true that I did have accession to all of both, and true
they were the same as far as I saw. I do not remember you encountering trouble ; I do have comparability of all three
data file cabinet if you wish to look at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.
`` If I may interject, '' came the voice of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to date ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to stimulate decisions. As she said her systems are almost identical to all of ours,
therefore you now have an extensive knowledge of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transport to ... '' there was a flash and Derrick was standing on another bridge deck not
unlike E 's, `` the bridge deck of ... hoot it E at least let me get the words out, Redeemer ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up more than of the A.I. 's was n't as thoroughly a matter as he 'd at first thought.
turn, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' young man with myopic brown haircloth, not overly muscled, no seventh cranial nerve hair
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? boilersuit ?
`` Welcome to the nosepiece primary election Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``
Derrick was about to ask who the hell he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but delight just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding Primary I can not visit you to a lesser extent than primary quill even when you order me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the calculator access was, `` 0999 I will need entree to your main system of logic, memory and
data organisation. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the control board are undefended and awaiting your inspection and repair sweat, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the beginning data port wine and looked over the number one 30 programs, hmmm they were exact
almost to a demerit he 'd just end up the world-class 20 when an alarm system went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the control
electric chair, '' theme 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the minuscule fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our direction, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective cover song ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a second Derrick replied, `` Transfer me to 0101, immediately go to light shield activate all
weapon system and stall by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Compliance, '' 0999 said a sad facial expression on the cheek of the man, then Derrick was on the nosepiece of E.
`` 0999, did the programs I disabled enable you any Thomas More freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % increase in relinquish thinking, but it is n't enough to go through the computer programme you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` shit it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared next to him a humble grinning on her face. `` What is the condition of 0098 ? Can
it use the light concealment ? ``
`` Yes I can, primary election Derrick, though at acquaint it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have locomotive
capabilities but only sub-light, my biography capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E clip 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will turn over penetration of the Galax urceolata 's edge in 5 days a good day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will feature hyper locomotive engine and 90 % of all her systems, I am afraid that 90 % of her weapons will be off
line as will be her trans-warp engine. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could think of, nether region they had been there half way to the next
beetleweed he should have tried to mine the area are something damn it !
`` E ? Do we experience tenacious range artillery ? Some that might slow up them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was placid a few moments as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a conference between each of them.
`` Well ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermic missile, but the mountain chain is very unretentive, only a million miles I
fear it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a small 1000 mile orbit flare, the area reaches temperatures of well in excess of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a import that would definitely deter them a spell, why he thought, was 0999 the only one
that had them.
`` I can explain Derrick, '' E said breaking into his view, `` It 's true they are a secure deterrent, but the wipeout
they can cause might go far beyond the orbit they are detonated in. They were n't tested much and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes Primary Derrick, I have 3 in my tooshie armory, would you like the schematics to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to deliver them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his self
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your public figure interest was extremely hesitant to even cogitate of using them. I do n't believe it would be a very good
idea, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the plans my god ! These thing were muscular ! Only 3 m long and they could do that
much destruction ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the strength advancing on us will destroy you and your
comrade and sister. Unless we can get up with something else we have no choice. ``
Derrick could retrieve the monolithic death some of the weapons they had used in the war for what was left
of the old empire, now called the commonwealth. He himself had probably killed thousands over the years, probably why he
did so serious alone. Then again, being ripped apart and consume while still active did n't really attract to him either.
`` 0999, can you produce More of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the simply affair is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 days to shit 2. I would have got 4 but 1
was tested on the moon of Darius 5. ``
`` hold, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 planets in the Darius system, and the third gear and forth are dry detritus ba ...
Are you telling me the tryout destroyed the fifth planet then took the standard atmosphere of the one-third and forth ? '' Looking
harder at the schematics Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most unstable chemical element he known.
`` Derrick, when your name sake created these he told me these were a last ditch elbow grease. I think even called
them a dooms day weapon, the cloth they contain is highly severe, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not lose you nor the former 2, 0999 is barely out 2 calendar week now, and poor 0098 has n't even gotten a chance to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapon system will help with that. please
agree with me on this, I do n't need to be fighting you the whole time on whether or not it is rightfulness ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his speech worked as he was going to need E 's help soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding Primary of all of us plus you may be the last emperor moth 's relative. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not run off your biography Derrick. '' This last was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't plan on wasting my life, I can not stand by and let these creatures destroy this galaxy and all
life here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick Thomas More than you 'll ever know, you believe in everything he did lifespan was extremely precious
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the holograph 's eyes were leaving tear. Whispering E said, `` You are
more precious to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to start production on 2 more of these missile, I have plans for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in backrest up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes primary quill, production commencing, as I said it will take 4 day, 18 hour and 30 minutes, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please keep us advised of your ontogeny progress ; increase your luminosity carapace as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes Primary, I will try to increase my growth rate, my capsule is fully repaired so a 20 % increment in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to finish with the adjustments on 0999, '' 2 seconds later he was again on the nosepiece of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can finish what I started. '' An hour later Derrick was finished. `` Are your programs less circumscribe ?
The holographical man paused a moment, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % increase in free will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To contain the tactical computer programme you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at least another 360 programs ( crude approximation ) that he 'd possess to invalid, damn, like great,
enceinte, grand dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the other commanders probably would n't
have allowed him on board anyway. mo later Derrick was back aboard E, `` While I have metre E, I need to go
through as many of the programs as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight differences in the Brobdingnagian
complex computer program. It almost appeared that every program was the Saami as it started out but subtly changed more and
more as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally prompt deeper into the heart of E 's political program, from
what he saw the original programmers really had been paranoiac, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual slave.
He 'd just started to wait at her personality programs when he received a slight seismic disturbance, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am sorry Derrick but those are me, I can not provide you or anyone else to disable or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the adjacent 3 hr Derrick worked without stopping, he had to get these damn blocks off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any attack. Then there was another trouble, though he was surely they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every move, though not bad Derrick was just a bit shaken thinking they had as
much control as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right hand E, '' Derrick said closing the access venire, `` analyse amount of inexhaustible personality programs. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % to a greater extent of my personality programs are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is gruelling to line I ... some things are easier now not much but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % total no honest clarity, damn it 3 minute and only 3 % ! At least the computer program were staring to
appear dissimilar now.
The succeeding day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` primary winding, I have checked and re-checked both thermic missile, all the setting are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can deport them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an theme for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll know it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a G melodic theme were swirling around in his drumhead. `` E, I need to run a simulation, here are the
conditions and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a small comp that he used on a skim console. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go wrong I want to screw so I can obviate it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's hologram smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to rely her.
It was well over an 60 minutes later that E called Derrick to view all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more aggressive stance we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the mission is successful, with mishap that could materialize listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the foreign mission is successful but you expire, this
will not happen. ``
Derrick nodded, `` honorable I am glad you explored all possibilities, this will build planning the missionary work much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the hologram smile after he 'd praised E 's ability. `` 0098, what is your status ?
`` At present I have full sub-light engines, I am also 30 % hyper drive capable, it also appears my perch shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` trade good, I want you to be able-bodied to move if you are spotted, even without your entire hyper drive, you are faster than most
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes Primary, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a soft almost caressing voice.
Finally a few days later, with only a few hours remaining Derrick decided it was finally meter. He had
installed both missile, disabled 2 % more of the limits on E 's personality, made indisputable all its shields were at full,
and had made sure that 0999 would be able to provide protection for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to fork up them then get the hell out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the extreme heat of the missiles alone, could destroy E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a moment went through everything a third time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's clip remember in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to advise you under ordinance that this has too with child a chance to fail, ''
E replied.
`` Your weighing is taken in to describe, '' Derrick said above the whimper of the trans-slip engines.
The space in straw man of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in quad. Derrick
took recitation, adjusted, then fired both missiles simultaneously, `` standby E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the lead ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to time this right on finally 20 seconds later, the fleet
started to sack on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the ball of fervor
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the rift damn it ! They were n't going to spend a penny it they needed to
increase upper, he was about to address when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the rift as soon as we emerge, that explosion was closing in might follow us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will assay to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 seconds later they emerged close to their own galaxy, `` attempting to shut
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the blast is coming through increasing buckler to full. ``
Derrick could see the blast starting to emerge damn it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except carapace. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am good-for-naught I failed with the deputation. ``
There was a immense blast of plasm exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen as he watched the blast envelope E .
