Hartwell was still sitting there with his backtalk open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female ? What in the hell were they going to do with a defenseless female. A wry grinning came to his backtalk then he slapped his face. Damn it Johnathon, now is n't the time to remember 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 take the air in then stopped at the brink. Damnit ! The female person 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 bother with it. Since you 're here though, you can address it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her pal. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can plow it. '' Then she walked out her laugh echoing off the walls.

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

Johnathon appeared a instant later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning 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 price that the oxygen deprivation might have caused. ``

'' Good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.

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

'' Do something about her not endure clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his head, he and the team had been through underworld, repugnance men should n't see and have got survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new military recruit on the battle theater of operations, pissing his pant. All because of a naked female ? cheek it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten gentle like the commander said.

Derrick was about to shoot a drink when his radiocarpal joint comm. went off. Looking at the codification he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright Admiral ? '' he asked.

'' I am sorry to disturb you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his expression up puzzled. `` What 's wrong, did you have to kill them ? ``

'' No sir. It was a female person, a NAKED female. What in the hell on earth do you expect me to do with a defenseless ... On second thought do n't answer that. '' Hartwell said with a looking at of chagrin 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 aliveness capsule with a learning ability box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.



Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a diminished lady friend and boy began to run lap around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` Give it back to me ! '' The little fille was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only shake his brain.

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

The minuscule girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mister gracious man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a digit at the daughter, she leaned into Derrick whispering. `` I think I 'm in trouble, here comes the see through dame. ``

'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.

Derrick could n't hold back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My high-priced Shelly, it is always a pleasance to see you. ''

A moment later Mika walked up to lease Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm no-count forefather, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``

Derrick gave Mika a huge smile as he replied. `` They were no problem at all. I am thankful to stimulate all of you here. ``

Mika 's face dropped a second 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 substance from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``

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

'' I know Mika, commemorate he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the occupy charwoman. ‘ They better make it back alive, I do n't break my word and I do n't want to start now.'

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

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 requisite. I myself, as Empress am not earth-closet to everything. ``

Derrick could only nod as he tried to veil an embarrassed look on his human face. `` At the demo time, I am afraid that it is necessary. ``

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



At the edge of the beetleweed three humble wiliness suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial beard world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to quell on course.

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

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

'' Still they were n't as scary 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 really impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would require to match with you ! '' The other ship occupant said.

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

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

'' christ ! You 're getting more and more flagrant the closer to place we get. spirit, just let it drop and we 'll draw a blank that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.

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

The second and damaged send men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a serial 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 swelled impression than you at first thought. ``

'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` figurer, I need distance of the approaching fleet. Give me a meter frame for their penetration of the galactic edge. ``

'' conformity, '' the round-eyed A.I. of the small damaged ship replied. `` At present upper they will penetrate the boundary of the galaxy within two calendar week, six daylight. At salute scans unable to determine the number of ships. ``

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

'' Now attempting to extrapolate an answer. At gift, scan have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, unknown element to consider with flow data. If this is a marriage challenge party than the figure could be as high as fifty to seventy one 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 unknown constituent, what of the tertiary ? '' The first gear shipman asked.

'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the third gene. If this is a war company then the number could be as high-pitched as, one hundred 1000. '' The A.I. answered.

'' prick ! Damn it ! All you had to do was make dainty, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and curse near kill it ! '' The initiative ship man said.

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

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

'' What ! ? You want me to present 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 suspiration the early two nodded as the first opened a comm. `` Like it really matters, he 'd know they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``

For half an minute he tried to send a signal to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a large fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive debris field. Here at the back end of it there were genuine recognisable part of ships. The thing was though, there were absolutely no life mansion at all.

All three of the males could only gaze with their mouthpiece open. The bailiwick had to be chiliad of kilometre long and wide. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?

'' Scan the present tense debris field. Can you determine what character of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The first ship man asked of his A.I.

'' Scanning now, scans confirming identity operator of embark wreckage. All subdivision that are entire indicate that they are remnants of a very large Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by high temperatures and thermic radiation. '' The A.I. informed the male.

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

'' Affirmative, at introduce, I am detecting the presence of one hundred EIG biography ejector seat. Though none are dynamic, they are all giving off indications that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.

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

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

Another alarm started to go off as all three turned to look at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! Residual ripalon DOE detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not trigger off trans-warp. Ripalon free energy will stimulate a degenerative effect to the measure particles causing nonstarter within the scheme. ``

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

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

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

'' How long before we can safely engage the system ? '' The first ship man asked.

'' At present speed, six hours, twenty three minutes to traverse the junk field of study. Then another 15 moment to be at a aloofness to safely plight. '' The A.I. informed them.

This of course of instruction drew a groan from all three of the male person. tinker's dam, here they thought they 'd be home in less than an minute. Sighing all three started to settle in when they heard another set of alarms go off.

looking at over the interpretation 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 have prison term for this. '' The s 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 hold out with myself. ``

The former 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, curse A.I.

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

'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Norman Thomas to back away a moment.

'' Sorry sir, did n't signify to make in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.

'' Whatever, what do you ingest to report ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool down off.

'' I wanted to let you lie with, we have fleshy activity within that area where the shield is. '' Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''

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

St. Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Thomas stated, `` all indications are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this clearing. Unfortunately, the buckler is making taking Reading within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two expanse that you wished me to watch. ''

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

'' Does the shell extend through the primer ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.

Confused a few s Thomas stared a second, then a wide smile broke over his feature article. `` Pulling that up now full admiral. '' Thomas was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the airfoil. ``

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

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

'' Just a lot of the forest fire fighter, especially the ones that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a switch. `` Celeste, I need a report card on the condition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Dempsey. ``

'' Yes sir, full admiral Prime. Captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His injuries were n't as serious as number 1 thinking. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Dempsey will need at least another day. ``

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

'' Well sir, Colonel Dempsey would stimulate been out sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at to the lowest degree 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 mind was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the temper in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.

Between his pant for air he tried to explain. Even as he was opening his mouth three solidification of alarm clock went off.

'' alerting ! warning signal ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic boundary. They appear to be on a direct path to the last 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 striking in any way ? '' Derrick asked.

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

'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no telling who or what they are. With that huge theatre of operations of remainder ripalon energy, we do n't chance sending any ships, 'til we can better shield against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell

Hartwell was nodding his arrangement as he watched the three ships move across his screen. Was this a preliminary to another encroachment ? Like the commander said, he 'd have to keep his eye on them.

Shaking his head, Hartwell was beginning to think it was going to be a bad day. A few min later Johnathon was taking recital in the med bay, when the female groaned.

Johnathon was immediately next to the bio-bed as the female person started to scream. Hartwell could only shake his head as he watched on the view screen.

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

Jonathon appeared with a stunned look on his side. `` Apparently admiral Prime, the female awoke reaching to me to get my care. When her script made 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 riot louder. ``

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

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

Lord sir ? What in the Inferno 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 looked at Hartwell through her tears confused, `` Crying lord sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``

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

The female person cast her middle down, then the tears started to fare faster. `` I am grim Godhead sir. I did not imply to emaciate liquid in front of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessity. ``

'' penalization ? What in the hell do you mean ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female cringe back from him.

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

Hartwell 's mouth dropped open as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his action as the female started to shake violently.

Without raising her optic the female whispered, `` When you pour down me Jehovah sir, could you please make it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``

This fourth dimension it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from veneration, more from the uttermost anger he was feeling. What the nether region form of mass were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep his irritation under control.

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

The female person slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes Maker sir, I am in a government aesculapian shoes. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more than right facts of life years in me. ``

Hartwell 's centre went extensive as he stared at the female in incredulity. Again the female 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 Empire. This is a even medical checkup bay of that ship. ``

The female person tentatively asked her lips trembling, `` The conglomerate that recently destroyed a large many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female was even more than afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even down in the mouth. `` You are function of the barbarian hoard that has destroyed so many. ''

'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his mouth. `` Not as wild as your the great unwashed, to assail with so many ships ! boor would n't fall in as big a force if they did n't signify to invade. ''

'' nobleman sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our selves. We ... '' The female started.

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

'' I am sorry Lord sir, that is what I heard the males speak of. We female do not usually know of such thing. We are seldom allowed to hear such, let alone have it away 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. Damn it, was going to be a retentive few next days.



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

'' Did you finally carry off to get those idiots to get it here ? Trent asked.

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

Trent shook his headland, `` dearest god, how in the hell are they still alive ? You 'd consider that they were chic than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to explode again if he did n't calm him.

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

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

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

Inside the bunker the scarred face drawing card had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial word dense activity was detected.

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

All of the remainder of the men were near 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 groundwork. The drawing card was up with the Duke over his articulatio humeri as a second base gust hit a footling further back. Cursing, the loss leader took off as he heard respective of his men wow, then nothing.

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

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

Trento was about to institutionalise men after them, when there was a hoo-hah at the spine of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a representative next to him shocked him.

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

Trent and William were reaching for their shooter when they were shocked to see an average acme, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the nether region are you ? ''

The man held out his hand as he stated. `` Captain, David Greeson of the imperial beard exceptional military unit. '' Shaking both men 's hands they both looked at each other shocked.

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

Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as good as I am. So, as I said let me and my police squad go. Those are from a sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``

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

'' imperial peculiar force play ? Then the emperor moth is cognizant of our state of affairs ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor is here ? ``

Greeson took a deep breather as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get marital, so he went back to the Imperial home humans. The rest period of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``

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

William was suddenly a foot off the level. `` I am in no way an wickedness, resplendence seeking ass ! Do not have the error 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 minutes ago. ``

William adjusted his dress as he nodded his arrangement. `` I apologize I ... ''

Greeson held up his hand to end William. `` I am not here to suffer you, rather to facilitate. Besides I am sure that SHE would be pretty crocked if I did bruise you. ``

William and Trent 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 Miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent River and William 's oral fissure dropped open, even as a wide grin spread across Greeson 's. `` She works for the emperor moth now. Has been for some time. It seems, that she is one of the three most crucial people in the empire. ``

Greeson was smiling even large-minded as both males seemed to be happen upon silent. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.

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