Hartwell was still sitting there with his rima oris open. They had a captive sure, though a bare female ? What in the nether region were they going to do with a defenseless female. A wry smiling came to his backtalk then he slapped his face. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the time to consider about that !

Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.

Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit ! The female was still naked !

'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.

'' Why ? She 's a female, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the Same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why annoyance with it. Since you 're here though, you can handle it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the doorway to smirk at her brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can treat it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his head as he looked at the female person on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, study ! ``

Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely O deprived. She was also at the rootage of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen loss might give birth caused. ``

'' trade good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Yes, full admiral prime ? '' Johnathon replied.

'' Do something about her not hold out clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lout in his throat. Again he shook his nous, he and the team had been through Hell, repugnance men should n't see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle subject field, pissing his pants. All because of a bare female person ? fount it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.

Derrick was about to take a drinkable when his wrist comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am deplorable to commove you commanding officer. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his grimace up puzzled. `` What 's awry, did you have to shoot down them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female person. What in the hell do you expect me to do with a raw ... On sec sentiment do n't reply that. '' Hartwell said with a look of humiliation on his face.

'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.

'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a life-time capsule with a mentality box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a small girl and boy began to run Mexican valium around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The little lady friend was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only stir his head word.

'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.

The footling girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, mister nice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Blessed Virgin appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick whisper. `` I think I 'm in worry, here comes the see through lady. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.

Derrick could n't harbor back any longer, he then started to chortle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My dear Shelly, it is always a delight to see you. ''

A moment later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm drab sire, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``

Derrick gave Mika a Brobdingnagian smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am grateful to experience all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, `` Still no word on when Gunter gets back ? ``

Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to have another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``

'' I really hope so sire. The male child and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his married woman. '' Mika told him.

'' I know Mika, remember he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the worried woman. ‘ They substantially make it back alive, I do n't soften my word and I do n't want to start now.'

Mika was nodding her headland, `` I just wish that there was n't all this secrecy. ``

Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is requirement. I myself, as Empress am not john to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to shroud an embarrassed look on his nerve. `` At the nowadays prison term, I am afraid that it is essential. ``

'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the future that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a dictated look on her face.



At the edge of the Galaxy three small-scale wiliness suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard earthly concern. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to stay on course.

'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this book binding to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the other two.

'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that secretive shout near the Tendrax home world. '' One of the other ship's resident replied.

'' Still they were n't as shuddery as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I did n't snipe him. '' The damaged ship man said.

'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a real impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would desire to mate with you ! '' The early ship resident said.

'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.

'' I 'm not so trusted, '' the first ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an awful lot. ``

'' christ ! You 're getting more and More rank the closer to rest home we get. feel, just let it drop and we 'll blank out that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian police cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.

'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having ascendance board problems ! '' The number 1 ship man said.

The second and damaged transport men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut myopic by a series of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.

The first ship man started to curse when he saw the readings. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a cock-a-hoop impression than you at showtime thought. ``

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need length of the approaching fleet. grant me a prison term figure for their penetration of the galactic edge. ``

'' compliance, '' the simple A.I. of the lowly damaged ship replied. `` At lay out speed they will fall into place the limit of the galaxy within two weeks, six 24-hour interval. At face CAT scan unable to set the phone number of ships. ``

'' Can you, with selective information provided, extrapolate the possible size of it of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an reply. At deliver, scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unsung factor to believe with current data. If this is a matrimony challenge party than the number could be as gamey as fifty to seventy thousand. If this is a diplomatic political party, then it could be as few as forty thousand. '' The A.I. droned.

'' You said there were three alien cistron, what of the third ? '' The maiden shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the third factor. If this is a war party then the bit could be as high school as, one hundred thou. '' The A.I. answered.

'' red cent ! Damn it ! All you had to do was bring in nice, maybe hit it a piffling. No, you had to go and damn near killing it ! '' The first ship man said.

'' We 're going to have to break communicating silence. I do n't want to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The first ship man said.

'' Neither do I. '' The second ship man stated.

'' What ! ? You want me to face his wrath ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to tell him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.

With a sigh the other two nodded as the first base opened a comm. `` Like it really thing, he 'd bonk they were coming in about a hebdomad anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an time of day he tried to place a signaling to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a enceinte fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the monumental debris arena. Here at the back end of it there were actual recognizable sections of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life signs at all.

All three of the male could only stare with their mouths open. The field had to be thousands of kilometers hanker and wide. Just what in the underworld had been going on while they had been away ?

'' CAT scan the award debris field. Can you determine what eccentric of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scans confirming identicalness of ship wreckage. All subdivision that are intact indicate that they are remnants of a very with child Tendraxian fleet. price was induced by high temperatures and thermal irradiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

'' Thermic ? Are there any remains of EIG ships present within the wreckage ? '' The male asked.

'' Affirmative, at submit, I am detecting the front of one hundred EIG life capsule. Though none are active, they are all giving off reading that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

'' I wondered why so many slip were empty when we went by there. They must give birth come after the EIGs punishing if the EIGs used thermic arm. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call him. Mad or not if he does n't know he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The first ship man said.

'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The sec ship man said.

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to await at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! residue ripalon energy detected. Do not actuate trans-warp, repeat do not aerate trans-warp. Ripalon vigour will stimulate a degenerative effect to the criterion particles causing nonstarter within the system. ``

All three of the males looked at each other shaking their heads. No wonder they could n't communicate.

'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp system of rules ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp system of rules is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.

'' How long before we can safely engage the organisation ? '' The showtime ship man asked.

'' At present amphetamine, six minute, twenty three minutes to span the dust battlefield. Then another fifteen minute of arc to be at a distance to safely wage. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of course of action drew a groan from all three of the Male. Damn, here they thought they 'd be home in to a lesser extent than an hour. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of alarms go off.

looking for over the readings all three were stunned to see that they were picking up life signs. They were faint, though they were there.

'' You know. we really do n't let time for this. '' The 2nd ship man said.

Sighing the first ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't think I could live with myself. ``

The early two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.



Hartwell was at his wits end, the female was still unconscious, though all med scans said she was fine. Leaving her there he started for the bridge, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.

Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited margin call from Thomas. `` Admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the point of irritation.

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Thomas the doubting Apostle to back away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't mean to pee-pee in your breakfast, sir. '' Norman Mattoon Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you deliver to account ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool off.

'' I wanted to let you jazz, we have lowering activeness within that area where the shield is. '' Seth Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

Hartwell nodded as he thought a moment. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A moment later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's planet. `` Alright register me. ``

Lowell Jackson Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Norman Mattoon Thomas stated, `` all meter reading are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this clarification. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking readings within, nearly insufferable. This was one of the two expanse that you wished me to look out. ''

Hartwell nodded as he looked at the area closer. Damn, if he did n't know, that area, looked a lot like the place near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to play there as children. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of plans of the Saame area. Plans that were below the surface well within a cave system.

'' Does the shield extend through the terra firma ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few seconds Thomas stared a moment, then a all-encompassing grin broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the surface. ``

Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several more maps. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a Alfred Hawthorne. `` That 's it, if I remember right that goes through to the interior of the carapace. ``

Thomas excited was looking over the program as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything useful through is it ? ``

'' Just a lot of the fire warden, especially the 1 that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report on the condition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Manassa Mauler. ``

'' Yes sir, Admiral Prime. captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as stern as first base persuasion. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will want at to the lowest degree another day. ``

Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``

'' well sir, Colonel Dempsey would deliver been out Oklahoman, though, he re-injured himself restraining young woman Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at least another day. '' Celeste informed him.

Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to break through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that Dempsey was now in.

Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his psyche was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the humor in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his gasp for air he tried to explicate. Even as he was opening his oral fissure three solidifying of dismay went off.

'' Alert ! qui vive ! Unidentified wiliness entering the Galactic bounds. They appear to be on a target path to the live battle. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' Johnathon asked.

Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.

'' Have you received any communication ? Have they made liaison in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

'' At present sir, we ca n't get a positive id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon energy is screwing up the arrangement. They moved across the boundary a short time ago. Suggestions sir ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' donjon an eye on them, there 's no relation who or what they are. With that huge field of residuum ripalon vigour, we do n't chance sending any ships, 'til we can better shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his accord as he watched the three ships move across his sieve. Was this a prelude to another invasion ? Like the commander said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.

Shaking his header, Hartwell was beginning to guess it was going to be a bad day. A few minutes later Johnathon was taking readings in the med bay, when the distaff groaned.

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female started to cry. Hartwell could only escape from his head as he watched on the survey screen.

'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.

Jonathon appeared with a stunned flavor on his face. `` Apparently Admiral prime, the female person awoke reaching to me to get my attention. When her helping hand made physical contact with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to calm her only seemed to make her scream louder. ``

Hartwell sighed, then took a pace toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really requirement ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.

The female yank toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to set about cognitive process. I would prostrate myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``

Lord sir ? What in the Hades was she on about ?

Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.

The female person looked at Hartwell through her split confused, `` Crying Maker sir ? I am unfamiliar with that terminal figure. ``

'' What you 're doing from your center. '' Hartwell told her.

The distaff form her eyes down, then the crying started to get faster. `` I am no-count Lord sir. I did not signify to macerate liquid in front of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessary. ``

'' Punishment ? What in the hell do you stand for ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the distaff cringe back from him.

'' I am wasting something Lord sir. However you wish to punish me, I will accept. It is after all your right as a male. '' The female told him.

Hartwell 's back talk dropped heart-to-heart as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the large load of bastard I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female person started to agitate violently.

Without raising her eyes the female whispered, `` When you kill me Lord sir, could you please make it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This metre it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from concern, more from the uttermost anger he was feeling. What the hell form of masses were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep his temper under control.

Barely keeping his voice low he stated, `` I am not going to defeat you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``

The female slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Lord sir, I am in a governing medical blank space. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more serious fostering years in me. ``

Hartwell 's eye went wide as he stared at the female in disbelief. Again the female person drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a section of the table off that he had ahold of.

As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the conglomerate. This is a veritable medical examination bay of that ship. ``

The female person tentatively asked her lips trembling, `` The Empire that recently destroyed a great many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female person was even Thomas More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even lower. `` You are part of the barbarian hoard that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouth. `` Not as barbarian as your people, to snipe with so many ships ! barbarian would n't descend in as big a force if they did n't signify to invade. ''

'' Lord sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our ego. We ... '' The female started.

'' You were in our galaxy ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.

'' I am blue Lord sir, that is what I heard the male speak of. We female person do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to learn such, let alone cognise of them. '' The female whispered her head as low as she could get it.

Hartwell was stunned at this turn of events. Sighing he looked away from the female. maledict it, was going to be a long few next days.



William Hartwell was doing all he could to prevent his uncle Trent from exploding. The moron that had brought the artillery up had forgotten the ammunition. His eyes wide, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.

'' Did you finally oversee to get those imbecile to get it here ? River Trent asked.

'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a effective while. They said they took what you said literally. You said bring up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.

Trent shook his headway, `` Dear god, how in the hell are they still alive ? You 'd think that they were smart than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to irrupt again if he did n't calm him.

'' I guess they were hiding a lot better than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.

'' That 's about the only when thing they are. '' Trent grumbled.

Both men stepped back as the artillery was moved into position. Trent smiled with an almost gleeful smell on his brass. `` attack ! Blow the nether region out of that place, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent River yelled.

Inside the sand trap the pit grimace leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hour after they had received initial word heavy activity was detected.

He 'd noticed a buildup of personnel out there, he also had a bad smell watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to make a retreat, NOW ! '' The leader was yelling.

All of the balance of the men were ending behind the leader and Duke as they left the building. Less than ten seconds after they left it, the trap exploded.

The concussion of the first hit, knocked all of them off their base. The leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a indorse blast hit a petty promote back. Cursing, the drawing card took off as he heard several of his men scream, then nothing.

Trent was watching a read out as the first of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the second and 3rd caught a few of those trailing.

'' Son of a beef ! '' Trent was yelling as he saw that of the two in strawman, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the asshole was injured, at least it looked that way. 'Bout time that ass got back some of the pain he 'd been giving for years.

Trent was about to send out men after them, when there was a commotion at the spinal column of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a voice future to him shocked him.

'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't last longsighted at all. '' The voice told him.

Trent and William were reaching for their guns when they were shocked to see an middling height, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` chieftain, David Greeson of the imperial exceptional effect. '' Shaking both men 's custody they both looked at each former shocked.

'' How in the hell did you get in here ? We have watches posted all over the piazza. '' William replied.

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as expert as I am. So, as I said let me and my team go. Those are from a religious order that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

Trent was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the hand of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.

'' imperial beard special military force ? Then the emperor is aware of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor moth is here ? ``

Greeson took a mysterious breath as he stated, `` Well not here on the satellite. It seems that he had to get matrimonial, so he went back to the Imperial menage man. The rest of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

William watched the whole conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to know that you are n't just a flora by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''

William was suddenly a foot off the floor. `` I am in no way an evil, halo seeking ass ! Do not pee the mistake thinking we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thud, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been dead at least 30 proceedings ago. ``

William adjusted his apparel as he nodded his understanding. `` I apologize I ... ''

Greeson held up his handwriting to stop William. `` I am not here to spite you, rather to aid. Besides I am sure that SHE would be pretty pissed if I did hurt you. ``

William and Trent River were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.

'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent asked.

Greeson turned toward Trent as he very seriously looked the Male directly in the eyes. `` Why young woman Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's oral fissure dropped heart-to-heart, even as a astray grin spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some prison term. It seems, that she is one of the three most authoritative hoi polloi in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even broad as both Male seemed to be struck silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all River Trent could get out.

William finally found his part then sank to his genu. Tears were starting to run as he stated, `` She 's alive ? My god she 's live ! ''
