`` Shelby, '' Derrick asked. `` Were there many ships lost in this detail area ? ``

'' Searching, according to all information I have on all ship movements and battles I would have to say no but I feel that Conner may have more entropy than I, at the pose moment, '' Shelby answered.

'' Thank you Shelby I 'll take this information under weighing, '' Derrick replied deep in thought he had to get all the ships synced up so that all the book were somewhat the like on all the ships. Sighing Derrick thought this tinker's dam hunt and mess he was having to do to get info was irritating the Inferno out of him. `` Conner, '' Derrick started.

'' Yes primary quill, '' Conner replied.

'' Were there many ships lost in this surface area besides you, 0004 your wing match and 0001 ? '' Derrick asked.

It was quiet for a dead sentence, `` No primary coil we were the only when ships I have knowledge of here, as stated I lost my extension match here along with 0001. '' Conner almost whispered.

Hmmm so they did express feelings toward their flank, mates something to retain in judgment for later Derrick thought.

'' Shelby, I want a to the full scan done on the life/brain box, every scan you can do. Radiation, explosives, virus 's both written and physical, also any liveliness configuration hiding on or in. If there is wrong to the case I want you to hold everything at it again. Something does n't feel right ; remember I do n't want it on board under no means 'til we are completely surely it is safe. '' Derrick ordered as stern as he could. He had a bad feeling about this the kind that could get them all killed if he was n't careful.

'' Yes Derrick all CAT scan going, to do the full moon electric battery of psychometric test it will get at least two hours, may I at least furnish Department of Energy to it ? '' Shelby asked.

'' Not unless you can do it from a aloofness, I do n't like this Shelby everything about this tone wrong, I 'm not certain but this almost feels like a fictitious box. '' Derrick replied, Shelby actually gasped then all was tranquil for a while. Derrick had only started reading up on the mastermind corner two daylight ago, going back to the records way he again immersed himself deep in the platter finding a little more on the brain boxful. It was almost two hr later that Shelby alerted him she had completed the first chemical group of tests. `` Display the termination here, '' Derrick told Shelby.

As he started to go over the recital he was certainly glad he 'd decided to read more on the box. Several of the readings made no sense opening up the program library records he soon found out why.

insurrection Derrick started running issuing orders, `` IMT Shelby, span ! All of you withdraw 100,000 kilometers, all carapace to wax, shift shield relative frequency to a higher modulation now ! '' He saw all of them bring up their buckler then withdrew. `` Conner, Zan curl on target and fire 'til you detect an overburden then immediately retreat another 100,000 kilometer. Shelby, you and Lucy withdraw to that point I need you both taking readings. ``

Almost in unison the four ships answered `` Orders received Primary, retreating. ``

'' Starting CAT scan, '' both Lucy and Shelby stated.

'' Now beginning battery, nothing yet Primary. '' Zan and Conner told him.

'' primary detecting a build-up of energy within the suit, '' Lucy and Shelby informed him.

'' Alright retreat to base hit point, all buckler to full-of-the-moon observe scanning 'til the box explodes. '' Derrick ordered, the Shelby hologram was staring at Derrick as if he 'd lost his mind.

They had to only look a few minutes after they were all at the 200,000 kilometer limit.

Suddenly there was a titanic explosion in front of them. Thankfully Derrick had recognized the danger and had the shields at a mellow frequency. Shelby was staring at the recital ; this had in fact been a eccentric of high yield nuclear device. Again it appeared that Derrick had saved them all again plus the fact that they were armed with a piffling better understanding of the different peril out here now.

All four Holograms were standing in movement of Derrick as he went over what he 'd learned explaining what the Reading should be and what should be considered life-threatening. `` If you detect any of these readings when you scan a biography box do not draw near it, we all could birth been destroyed today please remember, all these reading here, have to be right here, if not then something is ill-timed and can be determined by other Reading. '' Shelby was staring at Derrick with more pride then she 'd ever felt. `` Right now I want to pore on 0001, though I suspect he was n't the lead ship I feel he was very important with this experimental equipment he was carrying. ``

Sighing Derrick went back to his heavy, light reading ( only 800 pages this time ) in force thing he could show extremely riotous, or he 'd never get through all this plus it increased the amount he could go through at least four sentence corking. Derrick had almost finished all he was reading though this endure section had him a little confused. Apparently two of the ships had been designated as the personality creators, thereby saving million of programming hours. Huh. Derrick thought almost like a mother and fa ..., Derrick remembered the flavor the holograms had given Shelby when he 'd been discussing upgrades to weapons and shell, was it possible ?

It was a hebdomad later that Derrick began to trip up on records of the power generator of all the ships. His mouth dropped open if this was true then this was the most dangerous index source that could be used but how in the hell had they stabilized it ? Damn it seemed the deeper he went the more confusing it got, nether region and he thought the brain/life corner had been confusing 'til he got to the last few pageboy. Sighing Derrick had a feeling that this was going to be a mystery like that one also, but why risk such an volatile element ? Unless it had to do with the trans-warp, it in itself was an nameless concept, it could be that the amount of money of mightiness needed had to be that slap-up but how did they ensure it ? Derrick sat back he needed a break he 'd been going at it all hebdomad long not really checking on a lot, not eating much, hell on earth had it not been for Shelby he probably would n't have.

Stepping out he was greeted by the seemingly always bright and cheerful Shelby holograph, `` I am glad to see that you are finally concentrating on something early than the phonograph recording, though I am glad you have this last few hebdomad. ``

Derrick nodded staring at the now growing ship on the monitor, `` what is the status of 0001 ? '' Derrick asked when he finally found his tongue.

'' At portray increase pace is much slower than I expected, I can not supply the total amount of power he needs to re-gen at the good pace, that I am afraid would take at to the lowest degree three ships. I have him now at 25 % cerebral activity, with the amount of power that he is needing it will be another two weeks before he will be able-bodied to involve over. '' Shelby reported sadly.

'' Thank you Shelby you 're doing the ripe you can at least now he is out of danger of failing, do you know when he will be conscious there are a few inquiry I need to ask him. '' Derrick said.

'' I do n't conceive he will emerge for at least another workweek, '' Shelby stated.

'' Derrick, '' Shelby started when he 'd work to go.

'' Yes, what 's wrong Shelby ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Nothing is wrong I was just wondering, did you grow up in the oculto providence as did your gens sake ? '' Shelby asked

'' No, he as the quietus of my class, lived in abrir oculta providence for many, many generations, I believed they moved there years after the first emperor died, '' Derrick replied, what is she up to Derrick thinking ?

'' Thank you Derrick, it would appear that some of my records need updating, '' Shelby smiled sweetly.

'' Yeah, sure Shelby, '' ok she was going a little out of the way I see, and did she just lie ? Going to have to prevent my eyes on her for sure. Shelby looked hard at Derrick, then she started doing facial recognition, it was true he had all the features of his name interest, but those could be faked, he did eff the verses but that too could have been discovered. There had to be ... of course ! Deoxyribonucleic back breaker ! If she could pinpoint the sealed Ribonucleic acids that would reveal all the entropy, then she could truly see his lineage. If he was in fact descended from the shoemaker's last production line of the royal stag family that had been hidden then vanished almost 920 class ago, then she could contribution everything ! Finally no more than secret, no more hiding the truth, if it were genuine then he was the terminal emperor, and was More than worthy of her dedication and here she smiled her love.

While Derrick continued his detective employment into everything he could find about the ships, Shelby was busy herself. She 'd already contacted the abrir oculta computer requesting records, as far back as she could go on Derrick 's kin plus every other class there. Pouring over terra-bytes of information made her happier than she 'd been in one C, though she might have to have help soon the amount of data point was all encompassing she had n't wanted to stir alarms in case the data had been hidden on the primary computer. Sighing she hated dealing with just an advanced calculator, it was far to a greater extent logical than she was used to, actually it was a nuisance. She also had to keep an eye on the amount of record time she used, it might alert Derrick to what she was doing, she did n't need Derrick to call back she was prying, it was after all his life.

For the adjacent five days both of them were pouring over the records Shelby was sure enough she was on to something. The Deoxyribonucleic acid trial had been put off as she still had n't found the Ribonucleic acid sequence she needed to get the result she needed, it had been hard enough to get a sample from Derrick. She had to get this right hand the commencement time as she felt she was n't really going to get a endorse fortune to screen again, well, not unless the test was positive. Then she could see Derrick wanting her to test again to make 100 % sure or as close as she could get. She was still running mental test when another idea stirred her action. The palace A.I. ! Though she was n't for sure it would answer her it had n't been heard from in over 200 years, after the castle was sealed. It was worth a try especially if Derrick was the succeeding emperor then the palace A.I. would recognize him at the start.

Switching to the extremely senior high school palace frequency, Shelby began what she hoped, was the origin of the re-birth of the empire.

'' Palace A.I. this is EIG-0101F, encrypt alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, requesting assistance. I have the Deoxyribonucleic acid of a subject I believe to be the finis in line for the potty. Unable to aver without proper Ribonucleic acid sequence, I await your reaction. ``

There was a yearn break though Shelby was n't about to give up she had checked the code many times to aver it was correct. Ten minutes later the signal cleared when a voice from the past answered, `` EIG-0101F, code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop confirmed. hullo Shelby, it has been quite some clip. Your postulation is being processed, Long range IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transmit. Upon culmination, send upshot back to exchange, thereby I can equate and evaluate, carry all info you have now in a pin point salvo, ah trade good thank you. Contact me with the results 'til then. '' Then the line went beat. Shelby was relieved she was afraid that the palace A.I. would n't answer, thankfully she had.

Mary the palace A.I. looked lovingly at all the entropy Shelby had collected, yes, it appeared to be the young ( many clock time removed ) of the emperor moth 's cousin. Hmmm, this one had almost as much knowledge as the number 1 emperor this should get occupy. The Virgin 's hologram smiled, her daughter had always been more curious than the others, at least one was still alert, still she felt for Shelby all her kid gone except for three, oh now four, it would do her so salutary to have her youngster back, just as it was to Virgin Mary knowing that her daughter was still alive.

Shelby looked at the vial she 'd just incur ( Ribonucleic acid chronological sequence 1,000,054 ) no curiosity she had n't found it yet she had only gotten to 10,000 and that had taken five 24-hour interval ! Sighing Shelby knew that it would take another two day to run the mental test and then confirm the termination. Might as well get started she thought, so slowly she began the mental test triple checking everything before and during the test.

Derrick had finally discovered all he could, it truly was a diagonal of brainiac the damping fields, the Energy Department drain, and the opposite magnetic induction. This not only stabilized the element but allowed for 100 % use of all muscularity produced thereby eliminating all waste. Finally with a more than 50 % understanding of all the ships system Derrick felt he was nearing where his epithet sake had been 150 years ago. Sitting back Derrick 's mind was about to burst forth with the sheer sum of money of selective information, but there was so much more, More than 10 metre what he 'd already gleaned, looking at the read/write head phone like apparatus Derrick decided it was time he had to make out it. If he had any luck of saving even half of the fleet, he 'd demand all the noesis. Sighing he looked it over he had the interface finished but the buffer was far from where he wanted it, if the cowcatcher fail or did n't form at all he 'd be a gibbering idiot before it was even half finished. Then there was the fact that the voltage was still too high another feature that made him cringe not unspoilt to fry your brains just as your starting to get what you want.

Two days later a loud consternation jerked Derrick from his full concentration on the oral sex gear. `` Shelby write up, why is the life sentence box alert going off ? Is 0001 in danger ? ``

'' No Derrick she responded, `` I am reading a striking increment in cerebral natural action with 0001, now at 50, 55, 60 %, emergence imminent, cerebral activity at 75 %. ``

At first there was a crackling coming from the utterer, then very slowly a monotone vox started that quickly changed to a male vocalisation. `` Where am I ? '' 0001 asked confused.

'' You are in hanger one on board me 0101 known as Shelby, '' Shelby answered. `` You were lost in one of the low battle, somewhere around 975-980 class ago. ``

'' I see, '' 0001 answered, `` how was I found ? I thought that I would die out here. ``

'' My primary has developed a way to find oneself our life cases, '' Shelby answered. `` Your primary feather I see, how many are there of us now ? '' The articulation asked.

Sighing Shelby said. `` At first there was only me then I found my basal, since then he has found three others, so four including you. ``

'' Ah ! Good it was once said that five of us, were worth more than the entire old imperial fleet. It is respectable to know I still have crony and sis alive. Your Primary what is his name so that I may register him. '' 0001 stated.

Derrick stepped forward, `` I am Captain Derrick O'Toma. ``

'' Derrick O'Toma ? '' The vox said a slight excited, `` when I am again unit, I have a subject matter I have been carrying since the outset day I was launched, my nobleman. ``

Derrick 's mouth dropped open, ok now things were truly getting on the uncanny side of meat, it called him lord ? That note was reserved for the old Dukes, Earls, Knights, but especially the Saturnia pavonia himself. Derrick had to ask him self just what the screwing was going on ? What was this content 0001 had and just who the fucking would cognise to leave a message for him besides h ... Holy fuck ! There was no freak out way ! Ok, now Derrick was rapidly growing more queer, this was one secret that he was n't going to work out in just a day or week.

All of the other hologram appeared suddenly, `` Prime primary ? '' They all asked, `` did 0001 call you lord ? ``

'' Yes, though I am unsure what this means, '' Derrick stated not too sure that he was believing exactly what 0001 had said. `` All I know is that for some rationality 0001 thinks I am ranked a lot in high spirits than a coarse citizen. ``

All of the holograph nodded each it seemed to be deep in thought. A few minutes later each hologram departed, Shelby was about to ask Derrick a question when she received an alarm alerting her to the fact that the test was finally finished. Derrick excused his self to again work on his project it was the key to everything that he was trying to do.

Withdrawing the results Shelby studied the recitation with growing interestingness, it appeared that Derrick showed a 95.333 % certainty of being related to the cobbler's last emperor butterfly. Though other parts showed that he had only the main of the emperor and therefore was not directly related. Unsure Shelby knew that she 'd get to meet the palace A.I. again.

Again she tuned to the extremely high frequence, `` palace A.I., this is EIG-0101F computer code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop. test is complete on subject I believe is last in bloodline for the throne, though Deoxyribonucleic blistering indication are changeable, confusing. I await your reaction. ``

This clip there was only a short wait before the A.I. Mary came on. `` EIG-0101F, cypher alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, again confirmed. hello again Shelby, I am sword lily you did n't waste time conducting the test I have been waiting for the resolution. ``

'' Yes palace A.I. I thought that you might, though as I reported the results are conflicting. '' Shelby stated somewhat unsure.

'' First Shelby, you may call me The Virgin, irregular, these results are always like this as they sample many thing in the one test. Now then, place all of the materials, the psychometric test result, the sample all on the flat surface that the Ribonucleic acid sequence appeared on. Good long distance IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transportation. Ah ! I see your confusion Shelby, you were reading all the results as the same. No the only one that counts is the one that states that there is a 95.333 % probability that the case is a descendent of the imperial beard line, hmmm the offset I have seen in over 200 long time. ``

Shelby 's pridefulness was growing, she had actually found him ! Finally there was a chance that the empire would be restored ! `` He does not experience yet Madonna, I had to do this without his consent, he may be angry with me. I am also uncertain, he might not want to be the emperor, he was in a terrible war conflict, I have tried to steady down his thinker but he is a difficult font. Unlike any I have ever seen. ``

'' You have done exceptionally well Shelby, when the clip comes, I will talk with him I have had often experience in healing the mind. '' Virgin Mary stated.

'' Mary there is one other thing. I am ..., '' Shelby hesitated.

'' You have grown more than fond of him, yes I thought you might, when I saw the depth of the inquiry that you had conducted. It will be fine I assure you Shelby, evidence me how many of the EIG 's are left ? '' Virgin Mary asked.

'' At present My Prime has found four others that makes a total of five of us now, '' Shelby answered.

'' Your prime ? Quickly what is his public figure ? '' An sex Blessed Virgin asked.

'' Derrick O'Toma, '' Shelby stated confused.

'' So it is time finally it will be over. Thank you Shelby I 'll contact you soon. '' Mary said then the line went dead.

Shelby was even more unsure now, she finally had a Primary again after all that evacuate time. Plus the fact that she was now in love with him, something she was sure enough the now 5 % LE of inhibiting programs had something to do with. She had felt something before with others but 'til Derrick removed the plan she 'd never felt what she was feeling. She had to tell him soon but she was afraid that he would become raging with her, possibly moving to another ship. She was n't for sure she could take the solitariness again, she 'd been so close to turning all her systems off the impression of despair growing it seemed each day. Derrick was it seemed, all of the Primaries she 'd ever had rolled into one, she just hoped that when she told him he did n't want to leave.

Mary looked over the termination, so it was finally time, she had received a substance so long ago on the majestic net. Searching she found the transcription she was to trifle when she heard his name, as a Primary on an EIG ship named Shelby. Playing it her holograph nodded at the instructions, finally everything was confirmed with the Imperial computer code. Reaching out Virgin Mary opened all the gun turrets, started the long dormant but still like new source. strengthening the shield she began to hertz all the artillery making for sure they were all set up, replacing all that failed to function. Smiling she thought, I am quick Divine, when you finally come to your home ALL will be ready.

Done with the important tasks Mary began to prepare the long unused rooms, preparing everything that returning royalty would need.

Derrick suddenly got a tingle damn he thought someone is thinking nasty concentrated about me, laughing he remembered the old wise tarradiddle his gran had told him. Looking at his project he 'd finally gotten the potential below execution persuasiveness, the modulator was working far better than he hoped. Now all I had to do was get these damn buffers working. Every time he wrote the code it seemed he had to go back and adjust a whole melodic phrase. Almost two weeks now and only one of the buffers were working, to use it now would n't twist his head to jelly but he 'd still be an idiot when it was done. It took the repose of the day to finally notice what he 'd been doing wrong, Finally the next day he had three of the buffers working. Damn it ! He 'd adjusted everything he could think of. Derrick almost asked Shelby for help but he could hear it now, about they would protect him at all costs and he could n't put his life in peril blah, bombast, blah ! He was n't about to go through that again. Another day saw Derrick still at the piece of work mesa the fourth had finally cleared. Still working Derrick was shocked when the galactic trespasser alert went off.

'' Shelby composition !'Derrick ordered.

'' I 'm detecting an approaching intrusion force out, it appears to be a different slipstream, the same that we lost many ships to. '' Shelby reported.

Damn it ! Derrick thought, I 'm, we 're not ready ! Well I 've got four it will have to do. `` How long ... '' Derrick started.

'' I 'd say, at their present velocity, they will offend our galaxy in nine days, 36 hours, five transactions and thirty-four seconds. '' Shelby replied.

Wonderful just fucking wonderful, looking at his project he sat and put it on his head .
