Derrick was moving through the entree way toward the master section of the shipyard. Ahead to his right Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. sergeant-at-law showtime class Book of the Prophet Daniel Greg Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a criterion patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no dissonance. Shaking his head he thought back to Tempro.
Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiet as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guards away with little to no noise.
Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the deep security doorway. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a mo later the door clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.
Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any Sir Thomas More guards. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship railyard had been infiltrated by some really bad characters. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transport as it moved away from the ship thou.
Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hallway. So far the CAT scan had indicated thirty men that were here, well 20 eight now. All the reputation had said that XXX bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the composite 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 least eight out here, and another eight at the next conjugation. Might get one set of them not indisputable 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 dismay. Sorry commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a import as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the masses from the shipping were being held. A mere ten hour later they were well inside about to seduce a move when an alarm went off.
'' What 's with all the damn randomness ? '' A large man with several scratch on his sometime face snarled into his com.
'' Found the outer almost guard dead sir, '' came the articulation of a offspring sounding man.
'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! Leave three here with me, ought to be plenty to control these scared pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.
Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the walls picking their positions. Taking a deep breath Derrick knew that this next part was wild as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the way.
'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.
All four of the plagiarizer whirled toward where they had heard the vociferation. `` They are in here with us ! '' The older cicatrix faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the elbow room he said, `` You 're dead you piece of shit ! ''
Rushing toward the rampart, the leader only heard the first then the arcsecond of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to call then the com. was flying across the room with a hole in it. A moment later the third of the men went down.
Grabbing one of the female in the room the man shouted to the air placing a severe knife at her pharynx. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's dead whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from dissimilar directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a golf hole in the face of his head.
Derrick ran out to check on Shiloh and Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Grant can you both stand ? ''
Both men looked up at Derrick with both their oral fissure hanging open. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''
Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to stimulate ship's company. I want you and give to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their binding.
Grant snapped to attention as did battle of 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 better position. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivors ! ''
'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim reply.
'' Happy to scavenge 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 shot. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. Unable to see their target the final few panicked trying to get by. They were also taken down by various well placed shots.
A sound Derrick had n't heard in a hanker time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the television channel.
'' Commander ? '' Came the part of Shiloh.
'' Yes lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.
'' Just wanted to let you know that we are good. The married woman and four tyke were well hidden so they were prophylactic. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing replied.
'' wife and four children ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd wish to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. Damn it ! Why in the hell had n't he thought that they might be married AND have nestling. Shaking his headland he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.
'' certain commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to restart the plasm drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.
'' Oh, salutary then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through stiff drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''
'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to meet the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' battle of Shiloh chuckled.
'' Well, I 'm sword lily I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a mite of laughter in his spokesperson. Looking up Derrick 's facial expression was suddenly grim as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so piffling metre !
turn toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all netherworld recess loose. I really do n't want to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get clear enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``
'' Are we in risk commander ? '' Jimison asked.
'' No I do n't think so as long as we are away before the clock time. '' Derrick replied.
'' Do we receive to sir ? Ca n't we just save them all ? '' Greg Norman said with a relentless expression.
'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to conceive I was changing their and my past. No I have to maintain things as close to what they should be as potential. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd detest me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.
Both men nodded with with child eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be fix 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.
[ `` dear send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic pieces appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.
[ `` I can get a vindicated signal for at to the lowest degree 200,000 kilometers. After that a lifter is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to provide minimal legal injury. '' ] Tempro answered.
Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of battle of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asiatic looking cleaning lady walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.
'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The char said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''
Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the adult female. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the next few hours are n't too a good deal of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the paw of the sixteen and fourteen twelvemonth old boy of the womanhood. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his female parent called him.
Derrick shook his brain there was no way he could ever detest any of these materialization of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the Male on the back as he moved toward where Shiloh and Hiram Ulysses Grant were in the statement of the ship.
Both men stood to pledge Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Shiloh said.
Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be set up to go in half an minute. Can we give you and your men a drive ? ''
'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised feeling.
'' I know when to a greater extent than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two blastoff from two different instruction. Hell if I did n't know better I 'd say it was Gregory John Norman and Jimison. '' Here Ulysses S. Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are stagnant. ''
It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alive and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a character of myself ripped away when I found out. ''
Both Grant and Shiloh were nodding as they hung their fountainhead. `` I 'm glad you got to meet the crime syndicate. '' Shiloh told Derrick.
'' Yes, you have some fine son deputy. '' Derrick told him.
Nodding battle of Pittsburgh Landing suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''
'' Shelly ? I did n't meet a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four baby when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.
Shiloh 's eyes got broad then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Pittsburgh Landing ! You better not be in the blood plasma reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''
'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our track interbreeding again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his intimation. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to take him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]
[ Yes father. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are discharge. '' ] Tempro replied.
[ `` Alright leaving now. initiate away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.
'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from tail end him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only take a present moment ; do you really have to go ? ''
Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Shiloh standing to his broad six infantry two in summit. `` I 'll meet her one day Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the future few hr ? You hold that little female child tight, very tight understand ? ''
battle of Shiloh nodded a flavour of surprisal and vexation on his face as he thanked the air force officer. Hurrying past Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the nuclear reactor elbow room as fasting as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.
battle of Pittsburgh Landing started to trace in the nuclear reactor way for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the air force officer said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other incline of the reactor room watching the engineer.
His hands on his rosehip he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her chief she gulped a bit at the expression on her forefather 's look. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''
'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young Lady ! '' Shiloh told her with a gloomy look on his case that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to cause battle of Shiloh 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 class old asked of her father.
'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a good thing to hold over your fountainhead do n't you cerebrate ? '' Gunter said a minuscule smile small smile on his lips.
'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.
battle of Shiloh was shaking his psyche as he touched the dim curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hand on his Kuki. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your mental lexicon and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! ejaculate on let 's go get you strapped in with your chum and mother we 're about to provide. ''
They were walking toward the berthing expanse when the Commander 's last language came back to him. [ deputy, I suggest no issue what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little girlfriend tight, very pixilated understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't excite the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to anathemize much a coincidence that the Commander had shown up.
Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control room Mika. ''
'' I thought you did n't provide her in there. '' Came her reply.
'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange feel. I have n't had one like this in a retentive meter end time was with the commanding officer also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.
'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can hear almost fear in your spokesperson ! '' She replied.
'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.
'' Alright but hold her blind drunk hon. '' Mika told him.
Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a startled look. Almost the same thing that the Commander had said !
Making his way to the control elbow room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an 60 minutes later when Shiloh looked over to subsidization as they both started the procedures to undock then go forth.
'' level look expert, all hatch closed, all Navy SEAL honest. No break, no loss of aura. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' Grant told him.
battle of Pittsburgh Landing was about to activate the locomotive when he noticed they were still a niggling close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put more than a mere thousand klick between us and the post. Did you notify the forest fire fighter of what happened ? ''
'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unknown Department of Energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' President Grant told him.
Something was nagging at battle of Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them set forth to finally slip further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger dictation. This is transport R-00101. Do you read me Ranger command ? ''
A moment later there was a crackle as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repetition you -- - -- - gamey -- -- - surface area. '' Came the decrepit sounding staticky signal.
'' Command we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send helper to old space grand OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` Crap ca n't seem to get through. speculation we need to get farther away. ''
Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inactivity. Reaching for engine control battle of Pittsburgh Landing pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his intellect broke discharge !
'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the command hot seat. anathemize it he hated to wait like this ! `` fourth dimension ? ''
'' Information says that the ship exploded five proceedings from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly stool its way further from the station. `` 4000 kilometers, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``
A moment later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.
'' I am having difficulty retrieving the last two ! forefather I am afraid I am going to lose them ! '' Tempro cried.
Derrick flew to the ascendence remark key plug-in as he was typing faster 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 burn my IMT out completely. It would involve at least a week to revitalize. '' Shelby told him.
Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't lose them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``
Shelby 's eyes had binge in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT organization 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 twenty, one thirty five. Now at one fifty. ''
'' I have them mother the gain is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.
Derrick looked at Shelby as bust started to shine from her eyes. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no more. I can sense the system starting to break down. ''
Derrick heard a aloof explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you very well ? ''
'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system has exploded. It also seems to ingest taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will give to regen for a fourth dimension. I 'm no-good I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tear in her optic then she vanished.
'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the floor near him. Shining bright a minute then Derrick saw an unconscious mind Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.
The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to wake her Father-God up. `` Daddy, please come alive up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering again delight daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little girl asked, `` Can you please help my papa ? He 's detriment ! ''
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 occupy look on his face.
'' Of path Mister, '' the piddling girl said as a strange look came over her face. `` It 's a place for the concern of the infirm, fed up, or injured ; hospital or facility serving as a hospital. ''
Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please follow Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''
Slowly getting off the deck of cards she finally noticed the early men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is daddy going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the controls. I heard him yell as he held me nasty then he was repose. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really unusual. ''
Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !
It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly proceed. A picayune fille 's giggle drew his attending to the other incline of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.
'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to stir up up ! '' Here the lilliputian missy threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to come down from her middle. `` I was so scared I was going to lose you ! ''
'' I feel alright, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.
'' Well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her nerve lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the Elite Imperial Guardian ships ! ''
'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed C ago. '' A galvanize Gunter said.
'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the doorway. Though one survived, with her I have managed to come up fourteen others. ''
'' Commander ! Dear God it 's sound to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''
Derrick started to express joy as Gunter again tried to rise then struggle to get release. `` No, not a captive though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few clock time myself. ''
'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.
'' I 'm very well dada ; the see through man checked me and said I was in fantabulous health. '' Shelly said.
'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.
A shimmering of illumination appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a suspire Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hand 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 delight get her to finish 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 histrionics of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial Intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspiration as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.
'' Shelly please break off passing your manus through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.
Shelly suddenly stopped a strange look and lighting in her oculus. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the low-cal field as an encumbrance rule of seemingly random variations in the opacity, concentration, or surface profile of the photographic spiritualist. ''
Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you have questions ? ''
Still with a strange feeling on her face she asked, `` Are you beget via lens and lasers ? ''
'' No Miss Shelly I am a acoustic projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no subject what the brightness level is in the room. I can be made with lens and lasers though they are crude and faulty. ''
Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be potential to erect a system of rules to provide you a way to exist 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 possible for a bit. ''
Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the short girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's middle got with child. `` We have to get her to shut that area of her mentality off ! sire if we do n't it will pour down her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the maiden prison term in a long meter. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.
'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the worried Fatherhood on the bed.
'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's papa. arrive back to me baby daughter, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.
Softly at first base then they all saw the tears start from her eyes they heard. `` Daddy ? Daddy ? pappa ! '' Suddenly the little girl was running to her father as she threw her arms around him. The just strait they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's bureau.
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 full analysis of her. encounter out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''
Another threshold opened as Ulysses S. Grant walked in. `` You better let his wife out soon or we 're going to take in a BIG problem with that fiddling woman. She damn near took my headland off ! ''
'' She 's probably still pissed about the final time you got me wino. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't provide yet. ''
'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.
Ulysses Simpson Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or matter ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ Comes in here to recount me to loosen I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''
'' Oh Irish bull ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said. `` She is material pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying clobber. ''
Derrick 's heart got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. explicate you are taking her and the boy to see her hubby. 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 present moment later a rather angry Asian fair sex walked in with three boys. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly bout started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''
Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring wide-eyed eyed at the medical exam elbow room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find a way to assist 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 girl I have or will ever consume. I damned near died having her I can never give children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another beat of teardrop. Then she kissed Derrick 's nerve telling him thank you as she went to her girl
