Derrick was moving through the access way toward the main section of the shipyard. Ahead to his justly Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left wing. sergeant commencement form Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two safeguard in a stock patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no noise. 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 unruffled as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both safeguard away with slight to no noise.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the duncish security measures room access. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a mo later the room access clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to scatter out looking for any to a greater extent safeguard. Shaking his question Derrick had n't expected the post that was here. Apparently the ship yard had been infiltrated by some really bad fibre. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an blowup on the transport as it moved away from the ship yard.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be buccaneer again in the main hallway. So far the scan had indicated xxx men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the reports had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transferral had exploded. Further into the complex 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 junction. power get one set of them not sure about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to concur, we could get five or six, but afraid the stopping point two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry commandant. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the mass from the tape transport were being held. A mere ten moment later they were well inside about to make a move when an consternation went off.

'' What 's with all the damn noise ? '' A big man with several scars on his older face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most guard duty utterly sir, '' came the voice of a Loretta Young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! farewell three here with me, ought to be enough to control these scared pansies. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Jessye Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the book binding of the walls picking their locating. Taking a deep breather Derrick knew that this future part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.

All four of the buccaneer whirled toward where they had heard the shout. `` They are in here with us ! '' The elderly scratch faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're beat you piece of shit ! ''

Rushing toward the wall, the leader only heard the first then the minute of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the room with a maw in it. A here and now later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female person in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's utterly whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different directions were heard. Then the tongue was flying in one focus as the man was falling back with a mess in the side of his capitulum.

Derrick ran out to suss out on Shiloh and assignment. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, guarantee Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their mouths hanging open. `` Sir ? '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to laugh softly, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to take in companionship. 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 backs.

Grant snapped to attending as did battle of Shiloh. `` volition do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the afford wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a better military position. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivors ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's grim reply.

'' well-chosen to houseclean up the grunge. '' Gregory John Norman said with a smile.

The next ten moment could only be described as a blood tub as the men came in en masse shot. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. ineffectual to see their quarry the net few panicked trying to get by. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long metre came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.

'' commander ? '' Came the voice of battle of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.

'' Just wanted to let you screw that we are secure. The married woman and four tiddler were well hidden so they were secure. '' Shiloh replied.

'' married woman and four tyke ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to meet them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. beshrew it ! Why in the underworld had n't he thought that they might be married AND have kid. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.

'' indisputable Commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to re-start the plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, dear then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through wet drawn back talk. `` At to the lowest degree I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to adjoin the man she says kept me alive to amount back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm beaming I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a intimation of laughter in his representative. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly grim as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so little time !

Turning toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all hell breaks loose. I really do n't desire to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to bring all Tempro has to get clear enough. Unfortunately the ripalon free energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

'' Are we in danger commander ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't call back so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just spare them all ? '' Norman said with a dark case.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd detest for others to retrieve I was changing their and my past tense. No I have to keep things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk of infection taking Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with tumid center then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be prepare 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.

[ `` right send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a table next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic firearm appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear sign for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster dose is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to provide minimum impairment. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transportation was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's shaver, and then a slender Asian looking womanhood walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the woman. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the next few hr are n't too much of a stress to you or your tyke. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the 16 and 14 year old sons of the woman. A ten twelvemonth old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of battle of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the male on the back as he moved toward where battle of Pittsburgh Landing and subsidisation were in the command of the ship.

Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.

Looking down Ulysses Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an hour. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised aspect.

'' I know when more than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the loss leader went down. Two shooting from two different directions. Hell if I did n't know best I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Cary Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's unimaginable as they both are bushed. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men awake and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a part of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Grant and Shiloh were nodding as they hung their heads. `` I 'm glad you got to meet the family. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some delicately son lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh 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 fry when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got all-embracing then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Shiloh ! You in effect not be in the 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 paths cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ 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 clear. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. commence away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from buttocks him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only make a consequence ; do you really have to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards Shiloh standing to his full six metrical unit two in height. `` I 'll gather her one day deputy, I suggest no subject what happens in the following few 60 minutes ? You hold that little female child tight, very smashed understand ? ''

battle of Shiloh nodded a look of surprisal and trouble on his nerve as he thanked the air force officer. Hurrying past tense Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the nuclear reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

battle of Pittsburgh Landing started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something kabbalistic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor room watching the engine driver.

His mitt on his pelvic girdle he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her point she gulped a bit at the look on her forefather 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in bother ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young lady ! '' Shiloh told her with a grim look on his typeface that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost piteous look Shelly 's side held was about to do Shiloh to laugh. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to distinguish mommy ? '' The nine yr old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a good thing to take for over your head do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile diminished smile on his lips.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his head as he touched the black curls on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' battle of Shiloh said with his hand on his Kuki. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! Come on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to leave. ''

They were walking toward the berthing field when the commandant 's finis quarrel came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the side by side few hours. You hold that short girl tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake up the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a coincidence that the Commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control way Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't allow her in there. '' Came her reply.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a unknown feeling. I have n't had one like this in a long time last clock time was with the commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can listen almost fear in your voice ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not sure, affair just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her tight hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a galvanize look. Almost the same thing that the Commander had said !

Making his way to the ascendance room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the fiddling girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an 60 minutes later when battle of Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the function to undock then leave.

'' Levels look honest, all hatches closed, all sealskin just. No ruptures, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, set up when you are sir. '' Grant told him.

Shiloh was about to touch off the railway locomotive when he noticed they were still a little close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put more than a bare thousand Kilometers between us and the station. Did you notify the commando of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unsung energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' grant told him.

Something was nagging at Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the station. The vim he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` commando bid. This is transport R-00101. Do you read me Ranger command ? ''

A moment later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. Repeat you -- - -- - high up -- -- - area. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signal.

'' Command we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send aid to old quad one thousand OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Hiram Ulysses Grant said. `` bullshit ca n't look to get through. guess we need to get further away. ''

battle of Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 km and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine ascendancy battle of Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his psyche broke release !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the ascendancy chair. Damn it he hated to wait like this ! `` Time ? ''

'' Information says that the ship exploded five minutes from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly take a shit its way further from the station. `` 4000 kilometers, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficulty retrieving the cobbler's last two ! sire I am afraid I am going to mislay them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the control condition input key plug-in as he was typing firm than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlace your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would fire my IMT out completely. It would require at least a week to restore. '' 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 tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT absolute 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 bring forth the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to come down from her eyes. `` I 'm bad Derrick I have no more. I can feel the system starting to fail. ''

Derrick heard a upstage plosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you very well ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT scheme has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will have to regen for a time. I 'm sorry I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with bust in her optic then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the floor near him. Shining bright a import then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.

The little girl struggled out of his implements of war as she started to cry then tried to arouse her founding father up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm gloomy I was in technology again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little girl asked, `` Can you please assist my daddy ? He 's trauma ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the picayune 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 worried look on his face.

'' Of course mister, '' the little girl said as a strange look came over her side. `` It 's a stead for the tutelage of the infirm, spew, or injured ; hospital or readiness serving as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the nipper. She appeared to be convention though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please follow Tempro to where he is delight that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck of cards she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is pop going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the ascendency. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the trivial 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 move. A slight girl 's giggle drew his aid to the early position of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to come alive up ! '' Here the little girl threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to shine from her center. `` I was so scared I was going to lose you ! ''

'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' Well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite group Imperial defender ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed hundred ago. '' A startled Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the room access. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find oneself xiv others. ''

'' commandant ! Dear God it 's full to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to jump then battle to get loose. `` No, not a captive though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few times myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very distressed Gunter asked.

'' I 'm o.k. daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent health. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of light appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh 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 please get her to stop 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 internal representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial intelligence activity of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please terminate passing your hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a strange look and light in her eye. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light area as an interference convention of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, density, or control surface visibility of the photographic sensitive. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the Thomas Young miss. `` Yes I am girl Shelly. Do you take in interrogative sentence ? ''

Still with a strange look on her face she asked, `` Are you sire via crystalline lens and laser ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the picture no thing what the light is in the room. I can be made with lens and lasers though they are oil and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a arrangement to allow you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining restraint of the ship. I fear though that with the flow applied science that it might not be potential for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the footling girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's middle got gravid. `` We have to get her to shut that area of her brain off ! sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the number one time in a long time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the distressed father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's daddy. Come back to me baby girl, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.

Softly at first gear then they all saw the tears start from her oculus they heard. `` Daddy ? pappa ? dada ! '' Suddenly the niggling girl was running to her founder as she threw her arms around him. The lonesome sound they heard was the sob of Shelly on her father 's chest.

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. Find out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Grant walked in. `` You better let his wife out soon or we 're going to have a BIG job with that little woman. She damn near took my oral sex off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last-place time you got me inebriate. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't leave yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

President Grant snapped to tending 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 tell me to relax I am either going to violently kill them or put a hollow in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh horseshit ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's centre got great as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. Explain you are taking her and the son to see her husband. conclude off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the doorway then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather straiten. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to look sharp ! ''

A instant later a rather angry Asiatic woman walked in with three boys. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly rent started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring broad eyed at the health check room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find a way to help 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 have. I damned near died having her I can never ingest tiddler again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another cycle of snag. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her girl
