Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his oral cavity hanging open there was no way in hell that he was going to believe that O'Toma was emperor.
Shaking his header he had to sit, almost as if by magic a fanny appeared under him.

'' I 'm gloomy I am finding this a little too backbreaking to take back. '' That was when Hartwell started to express mirth.
'' It 's a good one I have to admit, now then, I really demand to meet or verbalise to the man. The genius, that brought about the capture of over 100 pirate ships, near the old ship yards. ``

Sighing Derrick was n't exactly surely how he was going to shew to this man he was the genus emperor moth.

Mary appeared a moment later.
'' arse Admiral Hartwell, '' she stated. `` Do you by chance agnise me ? ``

Nodding he looked straight at her, `` You are a computer generated hologram, I recognize you from the few pictures that remain of the first and finish Saturnia pavonia. ``

`` Very right sir, what you may not jazz is that I was given the great power to reenact all royal mandates, in all imperial matter. The most important in the lastly 2 100 was finding someone from this man 's family. ''
Laughing a bit she continued, `` In this case he actually found us. I was the one who sent the proof that the succeeding emperor had been found. Though I am indisputable you noticed I left his name off ? That was to protect what was left of his family. I am the only if one who can declare anyone to be the emperor. ``

Derrick looked over at Hartwell, nudging him he whispered, `` Joey, close your mouth. '' Nodding Hartwell did as Derrick told him.

'' You really are the man ? The one who scared the hell out of instruction ? You almost gave me a coronary with that first then the endorsement message, bullshit ; I thought we were toast after that endorsement one. '' Shaking his head, `` When did you get that brilliant ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' wellspring I had help, '' Derrick told him. Showing the man his download head set, Derrick was tempted to give the man a little discernment, but he did n't want the man in the hospital for days.

'' I have to say it is you, my god man you have an imperium waiting for you, '' Hartwell said.

'' I want you to be a section of it, I also want the others that are left, we can avail almost everything that might be ill-timed with them. '' Derrick said shake that he finally had a human he could actually trust.

Sighing Hartwell looked away snag filling his eyes, `` Of the nine that were left only 5 of us are still alive. Shilo and Grant were killed in a transport accident, the whole ship was lost. Jimison was killed trying to stop a robbery. Norman, '' here Hartwell sighed even harder, `` was blown out of a hatch ; he 'd managed to save 15 people that were trapped. He heard the hatch weakness and shoved them into life story boat capsule, he 'd just managed to get it exclude and secured when the hatch went. ''

Even bigger weeping were in his eyes, `` He was a hero ! They said it was his flaw, he was n't even there, he was on the other English of the ship when the margin call came out. The bastards blamed their own incompetence on him ; I have tried to reopen the case for 2 years now. The chairperson was part owner so it was swept under the rug ! ''

Derrick growled Norman had been the respectable of his building block, secure and capable with a moral codification that was second only to Derrick 's own.

Derrick sat there a second waiting for Hartwell to quieten, then Derrick spoke, `` There will be jurist for them, I 'll make certain of that, if it 's the last thing I do, there will be justice for them all ! ``

Hartwell looked up at Derrick, `` Listening to you I can secern you are n't the Same man I knew all those years ago, I also believe that you will do as you say. ``

'' What of the others Dempsy, Thomas, Rayburn, and Kimison ? '' Derrick asked though he was n't too sure he was going to be happy with the answer.

'' Dempsy is still as tough as he was back then, he joined the Texas Ranger with me. He 's turned down a commission more meter than I want to allow, he still says that you and I were born loss leader and he was more happy following than he is leading.
As for the others, let 's see the live on I heard Thomas went into the salvage business enterprise, damn good original from what I hear. Rayburn settled down on a far pioneer world on the Galatic rim doing pretty good the net sentence I saw him. '' Here Hartwell stopped a look of ira on his expression, `` They shoved Kimison into a veteran 's recovery nerve center, more like a slow destruction pit, one-half of the people staffing the topographic point do n't care. The early one-half looks the other way. I pay for him, he saved my life history more than a few times, I owe him that plus a totally lot more. It 's the merely reason he his hardened and tended as well.

Derrick growled, he 'd seen those supposed old hand's nub he had to agree they were death pit, really not even suitable of dying in. Between clenched teeth Derrick said, `` I will make him out of there as soon as I can, I owe him quite a bit myself, and I intend to pay back him. ''

Here Derrick slammed his clenched fist down on the mesa in forepart of him. `` I 'm going to demand your license to get rid of him ; I need you to radio me on this frequency when you sign the papers. '' Hartwell nodded the feeling of surprise then pride in his heart spoke volumes of what he thought of Derrick 's plan.
Madonna had been standing nearby taking in everything that Derrick had said. Everything would gain it that much prosperous when she entered his head to help bring in the rest of the distraint that she felt was still there.

'' Sire, '' Mary spoke up a instant later, `` I know that you trust the prat Admiral, but as per your plan, do you wish well him to be released with the knowledge of just who you are ? As you yourself advised me you are still worried about your house. At acquaint I have only been able-bodied to land 2 sentries in abrir oculta, at confront there is no menace though I am afraid that will change when who the emperor is, is known. ``

`` Yes I know, but to do any eccentric of computer memory blockage might seem as if he were tampered with while he was here. ''

Derrick sat for a few moments thinking on the trouble, `` Blessed Virgin, Shelby, the psyche wipe/ blocker can it be adjusted to expand the intensity of the mind ? To make it almost impossible to weaken into the judgement without the equipment we have here ? ``

'' Calculating now, confirming with Blessed Virgin, '' Shelby stated. `` It is possible, though it will study a hale day to conduct effect. '' Confirmed Shelby.

'' I concur, though I do let a device that can lessen that time by 12 hr, '' Mary smiled sweetly.

'' delay, wait, wait, you want to do what to me ? '' Hartwell asked a trivial afraid.

'' Do n't worry I 've used this numerous times, you 'll be safe. '' Mary told a now shaking Hartwell.

Looking over at Derrick Hartwell was n't too sure as shooting, `` It 's ok trust me, you are a ending friend of mine that puts you in an extremely rarified spot to Mary and to me. Just to let you know, you are the for the first time and for now the but person to bonk who and what I am. '' Derrick told him.

Joseph Hartwell 's chest swelled, his old air force officer was trusting him with this, then he looked at the diminished twist that appeared on the table next to him. `` Alright commanding officer if you trust it, then I guess I will also. ``

Sighing Derrick picked up the device feeding into a slot on the console.
'' I am sorry if we have panicked you, it 's either this or we do a store wipe and replacement on you and really ? I prefer this to anything else, this way I have an friend out there that can help me with later ... matter. '' Derrick said as something on a console drew his attention, nodding his header he pulled up a view of a man in an locomotive room.

Confused only a moment Derrick looked back at Hartwell with a smile.
'' I see Dempsy up to no good as usual, '' Derrick said a Brobdingnagian smile on his human face. `` You think we can get him without alerting the rest of the wing ?

'' Hmmmm he appears to be in an approach crawl way, I doubt anyone knows he 's there, I think it should be safe though, '' here Hartwell smiled a wide grinning. `` You might desire to warn him before you .... you know. ``

Laughing a moment Shelby appeared nodding to Derrick, `` Alright here goes. ''

In a distorted vox Derrick said, `` Crewman Dempsy that had better not be an illegal alcoholic machine I see you making there in that crawl way ! ``

Dempsy 's sass opened, what the hell ? Looking around he decided someone in the crew was messing with him.
grinning Derrick opened the channel again, `` so Demples you going to ignore me again huh ? You want another 5 solar day off the booze ? ``

This time Dempsy 's eyes narrowed, `` I doubt you could do ... who is this ? ``

'' William Tell you what come to my position and we 'll verbalise about it. '' Derrick started to grin at the look of confusion on Dempsy 's face.

'' I do n't accept ... '' there was a news bulletin and Dempsy was laying at Hartwell 's pes, `` ... the time ... to come .... '' Looking around Dempsy jumped to his metrical foot and saluted Hartwell. `` I 'm lamentable sir I did n't cognise it was you ! ``

'' At ease Dempsy, it was n't me it was our legion here. '' Hartwell said as Dempsy was staring panoptic eyed at the creeping blank he 'd just been in on the view screen.

Dempsy was staring at several of the motorcar and panels, silent for a moment he whispered, `` This is incredible, I 've only record about the things I am seeing here. None of this has existed for over 800 years ! I have to excite the hand of the one who found this. '' Turning he had n't yet noticed Derrick who was watching the medium build red headed man.

`` So I take it you like what you see ? '' Derrick said his representative still disguised.

Dempsy nodded still almost in a spell, then a spark seemed to go off in his oral sex. `` Hey wait ! There were only 3 the great unwashed that knew about the ignoring and dared to foretell me Demples. I had ripe ground to dismiss command ! One is here, one is on the Galactic rim, the last no one has heard ... from ... in, air force officer ? '' This last-place whispered in awe.

sitting forward Derrick smiled, `` foresighted prison term Dempsy, too long ! ``

Dempsy was about to start yelling when Shelby appeared, `` Derrick I am afraid that the setup he was working on is starting to build up atmospheric pressure. I am afraid plosion is imminent. ``

'' Alright send a pulse rate and keep out it down, blowhole as much insistence as you can, I believe it uses a tri-switch ? '' Dempsy could only nod staring at Shelby.

'' Shut down commencing, force per unit area being expelled, '' Shelby replied then vanished.

'' My god was that a three-dimensional image ? An encoding of the twinkle airfield as an interference approach pattern of seemingly random variations in the opacity, tightness, or the control surface profile of the photographic medium ? '' Dempsy whispered.

`` No it 's more of a forcing out within a self contained organization ..., Demspy ! God I have missed you especially since now I can sympathise what you are saying. '' Derrick said with a smile.

Dempsy 's mouth dropped open, though he was n't surely what had him more in shock the hologram, the systems on this ship, or the fact that the commander was back and actually understood what he was talking about ! Standing up straight person Dempsy snapped off a salute, `` Sorry commanding officer as I said before I did n't make love it was you. I 'm sorry I had heard that you had passed, '' smiling Dempsy said, `` should take in known you were too rowdy to be taken out that easy. ''

'' Oh you have n't heard anything yet Dempsy ! Tell him who you are. '' Hartwell said.
Dempsy looked at Hartwell then Derrick with another bemused face on his face.

'' Oh naught that big I am in command of the death of the EIG ships, I have 4 right now, each with their own hologram, plus I am the next Saturnia pavonia. See cipher that big. '' Derrick said a one-half smile on his face.

Dempsy was still a little in shock ; `` 4 oh my god you lucky bastard ! Oh sorry sir. '' Dempsy quickly said.

Derrick and Hartwell started to chuckle, leave it to Dempsy to get over stir about engineering. They both watched as he tentatively reached out and touched a venire here, a screen there. A moment later he walked up to Derrick and asked, `` commandant sir ? Anyway I could persist here, ... forever ? ``

Only a half smile on his face Derrick turned back to Hartwell before he answered. `` Fraid not Dempsy, the Rangers would start looking for you if you just up and disappeared. ``

Dempsy turned to front at Hartwell, `` I could postulate an extended leave, then not come back. ''

Hartwell smirked at Dempsy, `` Now you know that the Rangers would start an probe the moment you were a few proceedings late coming back. I do n't think you want the full fleet looking for you, at least not 'til the commander and the Rangers are more launch together. ``

Derrick smiled self-aggrandising seeing that Dempsy was about to start whining. `` It 's alright Dempsy you 'll get you hazard to play later. Right now I need to adjust both of your nous before I release you. ``

Dempsy did a double take then started hard at Derrick, `` You want to do exactly what to me and my encephalon ? ``

'' I want to strengthen your cognitive abilities, making it harder to deep scan and seclude info. '' Derrick stated after a moment.

'' Is that all ? I thought you might be wanting to wipe my memory and plant something else ... there, why are you staring at me commander ? '' Dempsy stated.

'' Uh, '' Derrick started, `` unfortunately that might still be an selection. ``

Dempsy 's mouth dropped subject as he started to bet on away from Derrick and Hartwell, `` look my brain is fine like it is. ``

'' I said that MIGHT still be an option knowing your brain you 'll love it, '' Derrick said smiling.

'' Well maybe my brain would love it but I would n't ! I happen to like who I am beshrew it ! '' Dempsy said further backing away, causing another round of laughter from Hartwell and Derrick.

Shelby appeared next to Dempsy a broad grinning plastered to her aspect, `` sir, '' she said, `` it is completely safe I have used it many times in the past 800 years, besides I have scanned you brain already and found that naught supernumerary will have to be done. Neither will I have to blue-pencil anything from you. ``

Dempsy breathed a sigh of moderation, `` Why did n't you say that in the first home ? ``
Derrick just shook his point god he really had missed Dempsy.
half an hour later both men were finished with their procedure, Derrick gave both a communicator to phone them later.

After sending Dempsy back Derrick paused a moment, `` Let me do it the coordinates of Rayburn 's blank space I might pay him a visit soon. If you find out exactly where Thomas is and what society I 'd appreciate it, as for Kimison it wo n't be long before he is out. Get the paperwork done and I 'll engage care of the relaxation. ``

'' I will as quickly as I can, '' Hartwell told Derrick.

On board his ship several yelled as soon as he appeared, `` Stand down ! '' Hartwell yelled.

Turning a distorted representative spoke, `` We thank you bum Admiral Hartwell we will be in touch. Also to the Lester Willis Young man at the science place, please end attempting to rake for us, give thanks you. '' With that the riddle went blank as several started at it and Hartwell with open mouths. Sitting down Hartwell started in on his report.

Introductory meeting and salutation
report card 115-001-RSFW-004
Ranger Special Forces Wing-001
stern full admiral Joesph Hartwell, commanding

After meeting with the new emperor as per orders from dictation and extending our deal in friendship,
it is this officer 's opinion that said salutation was well received. The new emperor who as of yet will not
unwrap his name at present tone confident that the Ranger and the empire will be able to fake an
coalition that should be beneficial to all.

Though unknown to this officer, the emperor appears to be a sightly and compassionate man. The amount
of intelligence activity the man showed was indeed redoubtable the few systems I saw on card his vessel make
the Rangers pale in comparison. He has left a way to transmit with him the adjacent time we wish to.

It is the opinion of this officer that the emperor is indeed who he says he is. It is this policeman 's reliable
opinion that command has made the full conclusion in all phase of their relations with this person.
At present I have no further recommendations to present.

There he thought that ought to throw them off for a spell, and perhaps give me clip to set out the other things I need to, Hartwell thought. On board the last ship Dempsy smiled holding onto the modest device that Shelby had given him, damn if it did n't arrive at the booze a hell of a lot electric sander ! infernal region according to her it was 100 times safer too, hell yeah ! Rubbing his chin Dempsy thought a moment now if there was a way to proceed it to his built in bed that would really help !

Derrick could almost see the musical theme that Dempsy had churning through his mind, maybe it had n't been a good mind to tell Shelby to give him the purifier/distiller. Derrick started to laugh when Dempsy took a boozing and started to cough from the much more complete booze. HA ! Derrick thought teach you to not prove it first !

Rejoining the ease of the ships they were about to move out when both Conner and Zan signaled him. `` Sire ! '' Came their excited vocalisation, `` we are picking up 2 signaling ! Both on the astronomic rim ! ``

Derrick rushed to a dialog box reading the sign they had received, `` Alright Shelby, let 's get this one right now ! ''
Derrick said pointing to a item on the screenland. `` The early we 'll get as soon as the first is secure. Conner, Zan I want you to stay here and keep an eye on the Republic fleet I still do n't have a lot of trust of them. ''

Both told him they 'd do all they could, then Shelby flashed out near the first stage. Looking over the interpretation again Derrick started to prove all that he could, finally he cleared it and Shelby brought it aboard.

'' The brainiac box is in splendid precondition, though as I feared the great power within is extremely weak. '' Shelby told him.

'' As soon as you have it unassailable, take us to the other one. '' Derrick advised her.

'' Yes Derrick, '' an excited Shelby said. `` All secure commencing Trans-warp to second indication. ``

fillet within scanning range Derrick wanted to spend a penny trusted about the endorsement box. The readings he 'd gotten had indicated that something was n't quite right about it. They 'd been there perhaps an minute when Derrick looked up from the filmdom with a grim case. `` Shelby I do n't know if it 's possible for us to get this one. Even with you IMT the separation is almost inconceivable. It appears that this twist is bonded at a molecular grade, your IMT is very, very precise but without a more secure focal decimal point I 'm not for certain we can safely stop up this one. ``

Mary and Shelby both appeared a moment later, `` As a lot as I wish to disagree with you I must concur. Though sire if I remember right you were working on a molecular specialisation device, not long after the explosive twist that you removed from Zan. '' Mary told him.

'' Yes but I gave that up because at the molecular level everything started to look more and More the Lapplander. '' Derrick sadly stated.

Virgin Mary thought about it for a time then also sadly replied, `` It is a disgrace that we have the brain box right here. ``

'' Make a note of the positioning when we are better prepared we can return and retrieve it. '' Derrick said, Mary only nodded she could tell that Shelby was n't well-chosen about leaving one of her children out here alone for longer than necessary.

Derrick decided that a few more than minutes was n't going to smart, taking reading Derrick worked furiously at the console. Adjusting almost as fast as his digit could he started to get a better idea about the attachment of the device, not all that dissimilar from that which was on the astral fin of Zan. Hmmm looking further at the readings Derrick decided that it might be possible though once again it could be extremely serious.

Looking over at Mary and Shelby he was n't sure Madonna would let him undertake such a rescue again. Sighing he had to have more solid facts and solutions than he did finish time or there would be no going after the box. Derrick knew that last sentence he had been close but 1 problem and he 'd given up, damn he never did that. Was it the fact that he had so much on his plate ? That had to barricade right now, without these ships there would n't be an empire or the possibility of starting another.

Derrick called Zan and Conner advising them that they would be here a piece longer and he might demand one of them to join them. Derrick started to work non-stop trying to adjust the molecular enhancer, finally 2 days later Derrick could see that the radiation diagram of the device and the box could be separated. The only problem he could see was the position of the enhancers, too close the electric charge went off, not close enough and the charge would total with the box destroying the ship it was transported into. sopor deprived, fag beyond feeling Derrick tried to push even harder finally getting the first prototype finished though he had to test it first. By the end of the one-third day Madonna had been calling Derrick for 2 years, Derrick finally hearing her was advised that the fleet of commonwealth ships were pledging to Derrick except for about 100.

Those had left and were causing worry, would he like her to take care of
them ? Staring at Blessed Virgin Derrick was having a operose time figuring out who she was.

'' Uh, '' He started, `` I 'm having problem processing a lot beyond this right now if they are hurting people than yes hold on them. '' Mary nodded she was starting to interest about the emperor, she 'd never seen one of them work like this man did.

Virgin Mary opened a channel to the ships that had escaped, `` I am advising you to turn yourselves in the Ranger are now working with the ... ''

'' Why do n't you shut up you stupid ... '' a vox started, then was dumb as the ship it was on was blown away.

'' Now then, '' Virgin Mary started again, `` I am authorized to let you to change state your ego in, minimal prison term and no former punishment. The alternative you saw, branded as enemies of the empire you will be hunted the rest of your lives.
I 'll give you an hour to adjudicate then I will commence punishment. ``

looking for in on Derrick Virgin Mary took Shelby aside, `` Shelby I am detecting that he is on the sceptre of crash, he needs to rest. ``

'' I realize this Mary but I have seen him like this before it is almost useless unless we stun him. I 'm not trusted I am groom to confront his anger. '' Shelby told Madonna fear apparent on her face.

Smiling Mary told Shelby not to worry then walked into where Derrick was working.

`` Sire, '' Mary started, `` Unless you rest starting in 30 seconds under imperial authorization I will stun and restrain you 'til such time as you have recovered. ``

Derrick looked up from the twist on the bench, `` You would n't defy ! '' He said.

'' Sire it is my main job to protect you this includes from yourself. Now then cease and desist or I 'll be forced under the authorization to necessitate action. '' Virgin Mary replied.

Derrick grunted and turned away ignoring Mary 's hologram, `` You ca n't hurt me. ``

Sighing Blessed Virgin over rode several systems on the ship, two modest electrodes came out of the bulwark, Derrick saw them and still ignored them. Sighing again Madonna told him, `` Last time forefather or you 'll drive me to take action. '' Sighing again there was a small whine then both electrodes were live as was the charge that shot out of them.

Derrick looked up as the first-class honours degree bolts hit him, `` Ok I guess I was wrong, '' he said as he slumped to the floor.

Shelby and Mary had mechanical limb lifting Derrick's unconscious mind body and lightly depositing him in his make-shift bed. `` If he awakes and still has low reading advise me immediately, we have to make sure he stays healthy. '' The Virgin told Shelby.

Mary was back on the Imperial planet the time was almost up for the answers from the now 99 ships that had been causing trouble. Though she was also keeping an eye on Derrick she had to consume affair ready for him.

After confirming all the ships surrender, Mary went back to the ship to watch Derrick.

'' Shelby, '' Mary started, `` while he is in this nation we should polish off what you started in his judgment. ``

Shelby nodded as they both delved into his mind though not as chaotic as before Shelby could see that much had returned. Tracing all the way in, they soon found another haven that the war had created, far deeper than Shelby had been before.

Drawing near to it they were suddenly hit by a titanic wind. `` What are you doing back here ? '' Shelby heard the conflict hardened Derrick again. `` Ah ! Good you brought another for me to practice on ! Once I 'm through gutting both of you then I can need over this blank space ! ''

Lunging out Derrick slashed at Mary actually cutting her arm, amazed Shelby pushed Blessed Virgin away as she stepped in front line of Derrick. `` relocation ! '' He shouted lunging this time passing through Shelby. Grabbing his head she could see all the pain and hate that was contained there, then she saw even more repugnance then the shoemaker's last time.

Derrick almost completely firm, Mary also reached out grabbing Derrick 's school principal. Screaming he began to thrash away trying to split up free of the two cleaning lady that had an almost dying grip on him.

'' Let me go if you destroy this lieu he will never be safety again, you have to stop. I 'll kill you both for this, you think he loves you ? You think he trusts you ? Get real ! Oh that 's right you are n't ! '' An almost iniquity laugh escaped his lips as he tried harder and harder to get easy.

Finally with one utmost riot, he managed to sprain one arm loose again slashing at Shelby. As the pandemonium started to clear the Derrick that they both knew, was huddled in a corner trembling, terrified to go.

Both adult female walked up to him each sat adjacent to him both holding him. Derrick looked up
at the two holding him, kissing Mary on the impudence then hugging her. Turning to Shelby he started to speak, `` Again you were here, thank you both, '' leaning in he kissed Shelby deeply and passionately, turning they all rose to exit to the airfoil .
