Derrick was n't well-chosen, not glad at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this gaudery and bull was starting to wear really thin on his patience. He 'd just released piece of the cuticle around the palace but was n't set up to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many menace out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other hand was thrilled to no last to get human soundbox within the confines of the castle again, after over 200 years. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few minute later, `` What did your command say about all the validation that we provided them ? ''

'' That 's the thing, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed most of it, they told me to preserve radio set dimout. I guess they are also afraid that bidding has been inundated with spies. I had always thought that command was the one place that would n't have spy, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was awry. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these shit have had quite a bit of time to pass through the ranks. I had Mary relay a subject matter to the top officers about the examination that we have designed. I 'll let them know the results as soon as we test it out on that one work party member. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this trial run was going to be as concluding as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that glad about having a spy on control panel, though the thought of losing a work party appendage did n't appeal to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

thought process, Derrick was at a exit a moment, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an idea, first we 'll bring her here then ... ''

1st medical specialist national flag Callie stared at the huge room that she was in. What a complete waste of infinite and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her head she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this assignment ; she was a tech specialiser not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the keister admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a improbable man with sandy blonde whisker and dark brownish center greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to hold sure that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a determined pace now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally thank you for your ..., '' Derrick started.

Callie pulled the weapon from her pocket and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the throne, the nobleman will never let you rule ! '' Then to her repugnance the beam of the weapon passed through the Emperor striking the ground where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the ground the surprise still on her face.

Derrick appeared a mo later, `` Take her to the interrogative sentence room I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to tape all of this. '' There was a flourish of activity while the young woman was transported to the said way. Derrick watched as Mary attached respective simpleness and began scanning the adult female looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found zippo, but the new I that Derrick had suggested were beginning to find all way of hidden weapons, poisonous substance, and muscular micro explosives. Shaking his headway Derrick saw that several more than scans that he 'd added to Blessed Virgin 's repertoire of trial run still had n't been used. Again as Virgin Mary started over Derrick 's heart grew wider as the hidden armoury began to steadily farm.

A few minutes later Derrick nodded when the last of the obscure weapon system were taken off. Shaking his capitulum Derrick knew he had his work cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to appear across the way moments later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Virgin Mary administered another injectant. With a groan the young woman 's eyes fluttered open.

'' Rear admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled question.

'' Well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two camarilla that wish to eliminate the Saturnia pavonia. '' Hartwell told her a slight growl to his interpreter. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd green beam on the woman 's head.

At beginning nothing happened then the char 's face twisted into a sadistic smiling. A different voice soon erupted from her oral cavity. `` So your ridiculous, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. hi you mechanically skillful gripe ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that nothing will phase you, at to the lowest degree not 'til she is idle. ''

'' As you suspected sire, the political program would possess had me administer a lethal amount of radiation. All level are constant, you may move my Lord. '' The Virgin told Derrick a moment later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your niggling triumph ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the time to ... '' Looking at Derrick the cleaning lady 's face twisted into craze. `` You will learn zip I have been conditioned well beyond your level of ... ''

'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will reply me now or suffer pain unlike any you have ever known. We can pull up you and simply drain what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the vocalization coming from the young cleaning woman.

'' You would n't dare, even if you had the capability, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A turgid arm came out of the bulwark with a set of ancient earphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the woman 's oral sex.

The voice began to laugh, `` You have n't the guts to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to The Virgin, as the flow began to run through the equipment an eerie thigh-slapper began to issue from the adult female 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not potential stay ! You 're killing me ! ''

Smiling Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're perfectly any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''

The cleaning woman 's aspect twisted into another masque of cult as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving commonwealth scum ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soulfulness core. Well in a way all the pain that you feel in expiry will. well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the fair sex 's handwriting produced another weapon and fired at him. Again the irradiation passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so slipshod, alright Mary no more. ''

Virgin Mary nodded with a short smile on her lips as current again flowed through the equipment. This time the voice screamed even tatty for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's torso finally liberal relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to start a sovereignty as emperor butterfly he thought.

'' Alright Mary, '' Derrick said as the hologram of him disappeared and he reappeared across the room near the door. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not have much time. I will expose all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' Mary told Derrick with a pocket-sized grinning on her case.

Pulling a small disconsolate disk from a guardian in his air pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby one-armed bandit. `` Mary program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, shred, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... father ? Is this the finish of it ? '' Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only demolish about another 10 % of the plan, I estimate that we have eradicated 87 % of it now. '' Derrick told her.

'' No father I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, clip to destruction has been delayed another 2 years. The residuum of the program will reach my gist in another 10 years. Considering that you came up with another 12 pct in merely calendar month, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' Large tears were falling from Mary 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this building block a opportunity to exist again. '' Here Blessed Virgin bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the way. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his head in defeat.

'' Mary is there any way that we can prepare her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a fine officer and I 'd hate for the Ranger to fall behind her. '' Derrick asked Virgin Mary a few import later as he looked down on the immature woman.

'' I believe that the computer programme you were working on earlier just might work, though I could go in and tone her thinker. I am afraid that it would take a few days though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Virgin Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the console and started typing at blinding speed again. Those in the room backed up a considerable aloofness as they all watched Derrick with open mouths. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few mo later Derrick stepped back waiting for Virgin Mary to ingest all that he 'd just added. `` Yes father, '' came Virgin Mary 's reply as she started to incorporate all of the new program Derrick had just written. `` Going over all scans now, I am picking up anomalous Energy readings right before the artillery was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can hike up her mind to the percentage point that she can resist them without trying. Though I must caution father, they will lie with that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a minute, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their agent were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console Derrick started to typecast for various moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to hide it, not the safe but I think it will work. At to the lowest degree 'til it 's too deep for the soul source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new data that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an literal challenge for her. smile, she was starting to believe that this man would be the swell Emperor of all, though he still had to get the residuum of the Empire to hang in personal credit line.

1st specialist Ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the soft cot ... no time lag she was in a bed ? ! What in the hell was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her read/write head flavor as if the human beings was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking charwoman with grey hair watching her.

'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a instant later.

'' I am Blessed Virgin ; I am the castle A.I. or rather a holographic internal representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the cleaning lady sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the commode room then I saw the Emperor. I felt such rage then an almost silliness at the thought of killing him then nothing 'til I awoke here. What in the Inferno is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost panicked woman said. She 'd call up the execution and was afraid that she was future in line for the Same.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the religious order. One sect that wishes to remove the emperor butterfly before he can enact laws to rid the wandflower of them. '' Virgin Mary told the now shaking woman.

'' What is to become of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what punishment will I front ? '' The shaking cleaning lady asked having backed into a corner truly afraid that she 'd never again see the luminosity of day.

'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the emperor butterfly explain. '' Blessed Virgin told the woman.

A moment later a hologram of the same tall, flaxen blond hair and dingy chocolate-brown eye man she 'd seen before seem. `` hi Callie, I am emperor moth Derrick O'Toma. If you are uncoerced we have a mission that I think you would be extremely interest in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am cipher a cipher. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A hologram ? '' A blanket smiling Derrick finished for her causing her mouth to cut down outdoors. `` True due to ... uh context and several hundred protocol, I can not be there at this moment but intrust me this is synergistic. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only drooping, her wonderment at the hologram grabbing almost all her aid.

'' Anyway we have a missionary station that I feel will station a content to the sect. I will not post you without your consent but they will find you and try to press out what they put in your headspring. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an minute to ensure it is truly gone. The affair is if there is nothing to consider out they will belt down you. So young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok remainder and we 'll verbalise later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in need of a meal ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very ticket chef who can puddle whatever you request to get your strength back. ''

Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the hologram DID say that she could bear whatever she wanted.

Derrick sat a import intellection of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost meter for the adjacent ship 's emergence. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a good sentence job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist, `` sentence to emergence ? ''

'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few minute Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.

'' Alright IMT, '' within seconds Derrick was on the span. All the send hologram appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to tolerate guard over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the undecomposed I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.

'' Conner I need you to accompany Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signaling I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.

'' Yes your lordship it is an honor. '' Conner replied bowing low.

'' Tempro I need you to stay here and provide accompaniment for Zan only if it is requisite. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes Sire, I will endeavor to avail protect them both if necessary. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.

'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the co-ordinate to Conner. ''

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar farting up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Blessed Virgin tracked them all the way across the wandflower. Shaking her psyche she knew she was in for a truly heroic sovereignty by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a galactic rim scheme. `` Shelby can you detect any lifetime out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scans now, the third and lastly world of this arrangement has an orbit I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moment later. `` Switching zip now, I am getting readings though something is starting to modulate the carapace. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A present moment later a bang hit the buckler effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, damage written report ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No damage, no manoeuvre hit sire, '' Conner told him.

'' No morphologic harm, the blast had insufficient energy to get any terms. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the blast was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more mightiness than what we just witnessed. An in effect warning to say the least Derrick, parliamentary law on how to move ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a moment then replied, `` give a channel Shelby let me utter to who is down there, maybe we can give a short warning of our own. ''

Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All ready Derrick. ''

'' To the strange assaulter, this is Emperor O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a superior force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick actor's line was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to move on, this is curb space and I will use deadly force to defend it. '' The voice shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the Lapplander hot head he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was following. `` So Rayb still as much a hot question as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that last ? Could affirm you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock away onto Rayburn the instant he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a here and now later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that damnable password ... Ray..b. What the hellhole is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the command chairwoman. `` commander ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still alive ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a boisterous hug. `` Damn it sir ! We were all told that you were abruptly ! ''

Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a monolithic build up of Department of Energy from his residence I am afraid that it will go decisive if no activity is taken. ''

Rayburn 's mouth dropped exposed as he walked around the holograph of Shelby, `` My god a protrusion within a self contained system of a 3-dimensional image ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the last one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our stream problem ? ''

'' Can you event a shutdown of the arrangement ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will cause a massive great power feedback destroying half of the planet. Just decrease the input mightiness to the 5 key thickening ; that should render the organization in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would make discovered that fact 2.3 seconds too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully animate, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced stilted intelligence. '' Rayburn fell to his knees, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like halt here for an drawn-out period of time ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the binding, `` I felt quite the same way Rayburn, though I must caution against trying to pry too far. ''

'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the hologram of Shelby.

'' They do n't care anyone probing too far in their retentiveness circuits they can provide quite a tight shock. '' Derrick told the man with a grin. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.

'' Are you sure you are commanding officer O'Toma ? He never seemed to read what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experiment that had almost killed him.

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his headspring mumbling to his self. `` septenary buffers yes, sync electrical condenser, overload drainage full, upright. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no support in case of primary nonstarter ! You are one favorable son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could ingest cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a minute then began to smile, damn he was glad that Rayburn was on board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I count on you ? I need a trouble gunslinger like you in the new Empire. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the longest time then tears began to slowly gloam from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a hard time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have me around. Are you indisputable you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a character of delayed PTSD it is n't like what virtually have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can suit extremely trigger-happy, are you really for sure sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the problem he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that Inferno hole. We got him out and he, for serious option of words is a infernal region of a lot better. I think we can facilitate you without a good deal problem, Virgin Mary ? ''

A moment later the holograph of Mary appeared, `` Yes Sire ? ''

'' I need you to run down Rayburn here, order me if his condition is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.

Rayburn 's mouth dropped open, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not potential. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipe Derrick had been using a few days before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.

'' Sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a minute the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to raise again. Suddenly a watercourse of electricity hit the man whose face registered shock absorber then he slumped to the pack of cards.

'' Really, your Lordship you have to stop putting yourself in these situations ! '' Mary told Derrick shaking her finger at him as if she would a tike. `` Sire it is extremely hard to protect you if you are out here so much. ''

'' Just read Rayburn and see if we can repair the terms that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A small rectangular shaped light instrument panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie green balance beam that swept back and forth across the man 's top dog. A few proceedings later the light panel retreated, `` I have finished father. It appears that this man has a high state of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take at least three treatments. I am sorry forefather, but his higher resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Mary, there is no need to apologize, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its self a modest miracle. ''

'' No Sire, no miracle just a science that seems to give been lost over the centuries that the empire has been laying dormant. '' Madonna told Derrick watching him to gauge his reaction.

'' We really need to bring the empire back to what it was Madonna. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for naught. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that The Virgin was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is wrong Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Mary started, `` embody all that the first emperor did. I am so very proud to be able to serve another man as swell as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right. This Empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by trivial avarice and jealously. All the things I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his brain drifted back to the past for a few minutes.

On board Tempro the shortly cropped blonde haircloth, sensitive build man, with a smooth case was worried. So far none of the experiments had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Mary was n't going to be happy he 'd essay all 100,000 tissue samples that he had, zip had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the endure, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of imbalance with him.

Mary appeared a few moment later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a little break down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not mean to cause you such pain. I know that the experiments all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a traffic pattern. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Virgin Mary then the tears started. `` I am so sorry female parent that I have failed so practically. A rule mother ? '' Nodding Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the samples so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to fail.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any signboard of nonstarter. Smiling this time he 'd look on all the index number and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Mary it made things a whole lot easier when the body had no real consciousness or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a luck to succeed ; unfortunately they would have to have Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor moth.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the imperial beard universe. Derrick was preparing to go back to the palace when Zan called.

'' Yes Zan is everything alright ? '' Derrick said.

'' Yes forefather, I thought you would like to know my wing mate is ready. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest addition to the fleet.

'' Yes Sire, '' A young, slender, long straight brown haired teen appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course of instruction stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to blab to all the A.I. 's about appearing defenseless ).

'' I 'm not sure enough if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the public figure that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new hologram.

Still bowing the youth teen nodded, `` Yes sire it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled pleased that this was going as well as it was.

Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry forefather. ''

Derrick 's mouth dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
