Lost Empire 19 ( 0 )
Derrick kept watch over Kimison as Mary started his treatment. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to burst the hold that all the fright and pain sensation held on him. She was barely into the start of the procedure when Derrick felt him strain up ; looking up a second later she motioned me close.
'' I am afraid that I have need of your help engender his idea is as substantial as yours it will require two muscularity to discontinue the hold of the paranoia that has a delay on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there father, commemorate while you are inside that zip is genuine and can hurt you. The ikon you see are just that and only the memories of his mind."
'' I will do my estimable Mary, '' lying down Derrick closed his eyes and was suddenly standing above the abyss that was Kimison 's mind.
'' Alright we are starting down, '' Madonna told him as they started to descend. All around there was nothing but chaos Derrick had a opinion that his mind had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd kept a considerably handle on it. Mary touched his arm and pointed to a stain where the Chaos was nonexistent. Landing, Derrick looked around recognizing where they were, it had been one of the worst missions that they had been on.
Suddenly there was a shout and Derrick and The Virgin turned to see a wild looking, red eyed glowing 8 substructure tall something that Derrick could only describe it as a beast. `` So you 've come back you son of a gripe, '' the deeply interpreter of it snarled. `` Good I need something to carve the hell up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this hell ! '' With that the material body lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 foot bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the creature that was sounding Sir Thomas More and more like Kimison started to ululate in anger when the weapon only went through him.
Calmly Derrick just smiled at him, `` What in the hell are you smiling at, you ass wipe ! After I kill you all this will be safe then you ca n't take away the only prophylactic place he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''
Mary could only stare at Derrick by doing nothing he was in fact helping more than she thought he could have. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's arms as Mary began to slow the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! STOP ! He 'll cause nowhere to obscure when those assholes at the veteran 's revolve around start to bruise him again ! Stop it now ! I 'll kill you, I 'll kill you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was close-fitting to stopping and reassembling into more ordered idea. Madonna nodded to Derrick who let the animate being unloose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the area beneath their infantry Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` Commander ? Are you really here or is this another incubus ? '' Reaching out Kimison touched Derrick 's arm then grabbed him. `` By god you really are here ! I do n't know what you and she have done, but I feel almost normal. ''
'' I told you we had a way to help you, I have been through it also, so I know. '' Derrick said tears in his eyes Kimison was starting to seem more and more like Derrick thought he should. `` We 'll see you out there, '' Derrick said a moment later when Mary had motioned for them to go up.
'' Alright commandant. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to rise to the surface.
Derrick opened his eyes, The Virgin was standing over him, `` I am glad that the determination to have you was the compensate one, '' she stated.
'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too much to let him support another day. Thank you Madonna, will you want me for the 2d part ? '' Derrick asked her.
'' I am not for certain Sire but I will let you know before I go back in so that you are able to assist, '' Blessed Virgin replied.
Kimison opened his optic shaking his heading, and then a galvanise facial expression came across his face. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the ugly aspiration and visions are gone ! '' Getting up he came to Derrick and grasped his hand shaking it vigorously, `` You need me commander I 'm yours ! '' Derrick smiled, well that was three of the five he just had to get the other two to make out this voice of the plan.
Mary was soon showing Kimison to his room, Mary was smiling hugely finally there was actual life sentence back in the palace though if the emperor butterfly did n't open up the defense power system they might be the only life here. Appearing in front of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his coronation, `` father we still need to hash out about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your position with not only the people but with the Lord. '' Mary let out a short sigh when it appeared that Derrick was flagrantly ignoring her. `` Sire I know you compliments to put it off but as I said it is the entirely way that you can lower the defense power system. ''
'' I know, '' Derrick said he 'd been going through all the information in his head. Everything has a loop-the-loop mess, he just had to find it, even if he had to try and download the intact regal library. He felt he 'd lucked out with the override code, hell he 'd been afraid that it would n't cultivate. Withdrawing deeper into his thoughts there had to be something.
Blessed Virgin sighed this family was going to be the cracking majestic folk ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most active and strong to ward. Sending a signal she again started the picket making product line. She was going to definitely going to suffer her hired man full with all of them. Derrick sat at the metrical unit of the throne sighing he could n't notice a solution to the problem.
'' The Virgin I need you to call Hartwell I need to babble to him before we go any further. '' Derrick told her finally breaking out of his contemplation. Nodding she called him.
The wall in straw man of Derrick lit up as the mickle of the bridge deck of Hartwell 's ship was revealed.
'' Rear admiral, I have worry ; is it possible for you to confabulate with me for a unforesightful fourth dimension ? '' Derrick asked him.
A wide-cut grin crossed his face then was quickly gone, `` Yes your lordship I always have time for you. ''
'' trade good, Mary, transport. '' Derrick told her.
'' What you ... '' Hartwell started, `` right now ? '' He finished a endorse later, standing in strawman of Derrick.
They both could get a line the many pant of his span crew they still were n't used to it yet. `` Captain Multry, avoid any incidents I will be back on circuit board soon. '' Hartwell told him.
'' Yes sir, '' a instant later the Saami man held up a communiqué. `` Sir we have just received this from dictation you are advised to return any and all aid to the Saturnia pavonia that you can. ''
'' Thank you, send a confirmation of reception of the message, I 'll proceed you informed of what we will be doing in a few time of day. '' Hartwell ordered the man.
'' Yes sir, '' the man said snapping off a military greeting.
Hartwell 's mouth was hanging open as he took in the throne way he 'd dreamed of being here all his life-time but never as the friend of the Emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to allude everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any moment. Derrick could only smirk he 'd remembered little Joey telling him years ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the Imperial castle. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a present moment then asked, `` You mean to tell me that all of this belongs to you ? ''
Derrick thought a moment then replied, `` No actually it belongs to the mass they are allowing me to use it while I am ruler. '' Derrick told a scandalise then immense smiling Hartwell.
'' Now you really are starting to sound like a avowedly ruler of the citizenry. If I have a probability I will let all know what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a majestic feel on his face. `` I am proud to have been your friend all these years Sire, very gallant. ''
Rolling his centre Derrick thought I might as well get used to this ; they all are going to be doing it before too long. `` The ground I asked you here is that I am going to need a detail for later. '' Sighing exasperatingly he looked at an even happy Hartwell, `` it appears that I have to be crowned, though I do not require to, it seems I have to. ''
Starting to express mirth Hartwell was hardly capable to contain himself. Derrick looked at him like he was crazy, `` I fail to see what in the infernal region is so goddam funny story Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.
Sucking in a huge lungful of air Hartwell looked at his friend, `` Well father if that is the most hard thing you have going right now, I 'd say you're damn lucky ! '' Again Hartwell started to laugh.
As Derrick continued to gaze at the man he realized that the man was make up and started to laugh softly with him. `` Damn but you are n't always powerful little Joey, but unfortunately I am still going to have to go through with it. ''
Suddenly sobering up and getting tranquil Hartwell told him, `` father I am at your disposal as are any of my men. ''
'' That 's good to know but I think you should know exactly what you are up against, '' Derrick told him holding up written matter of his father 's file that he 'd only just discovered a day or so ago.
Hartwell 's eye got big as he started to read, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these furor for a while but have never had anything satisfying on them to eliminate them. I think that this information could go very far towards that end. ''
'' I believe that this is what got him killed and not some accident that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the same for my grandad though father was a bit sneakier with his probing. '' Derrick informed his booster.
'' As I said this entropy will go far to start the end of their cults, many of the substantiation here will indeed spell the end for various of the cult leaders. Besides I do n't think they really want to go to war with the Rangers, advanced tech or not. '' Hartwell advised Derrick after a few moment. `` Though I am afraid if they really do feature spies as indicated here it may shew hard. ''
'' I need to get Lowell Jackson Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at present I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as disjunct as you said. As for doubting Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though Mary has become quite genius at finding people and things. ''
Hartwell had been nodding when he looked up, `` Rayburn would be a good asset, but I am afraid that he truly wants to be isolated. I remember the last time I talked to him ; he 'd separate me that he had become disillusioned with company and virtually people. When he heard that no one was able to discover you having literally disappeared, he removed himself to the outer rim. ''
'' Well getting there wo n't be that bad of a job, though I am afraid that he might not consider that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme PTSD ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concern look in his eyes.
'' As I said the concluding clock time I saw him a few months ago he was doing well apparently the isolation is extremely calming to him. I do recollect though that when we were on approach to his planet he was issuing various warnings. His tech is n't as make headway as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high floor. ''
Derrick nodded taking this all in Rayburn had been their tech advisor and a very good one at that. Derrick knew that even with the tally intelligence service he had it was possible to omit something ; Rayburn had been the unspoiled at finding job before they developed.
'' I need you to cater Mary with all the names of the men you can assign to us while I am crowned. Mary I want as quick a hitch on them as possible, override any system that does not wish well to follow. '' Derrick ordered her.
With a huge smile Mary replied, `` It will be as you command Sire, '' turning to Hartwell. `` I await the epithet of all those you indicate Rear admiral. ''
In orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own power, the Duke had finally emerged from his chambers after 60 minutes of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most delectable plot of cat and mouse, with the duke taking the prize at the end. His crew stayed as far away from him as they could, they 'd seen him in as happy a mood as he was in before. It bore no grace toward anyone to get close and bowl over that humour. The Captain Cook had the man 's food ready as fast as he could ; good thing the man almost always wanted the Lapp affair. Already the Duke thought everything was in motion he 'd already touch the two group that had mellow end tech. Smiling evilly he knew they 'd get the job done after all, they had n't failed before, he saw no reason why they should now.
Several system of rules further out closer to the Galactic rim, a dreary shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new emperor, this Duke Risen was willing to pay their price to remove the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no matter he liked mysteries more than almost anything. A runner was standing by to take on all that the man had to the leader ; he would be the one to assign an assassin to rid the Galaxy of the man. More delirious than he 'd been in quite a foresightful time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would bring ultimate satisfaction to him and progress to him feel like his living was complete.
Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the tilt of men and women that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't arrive for another day ). Hartwell had smiled at this, good, he thought no one else to horn in on any of this. `` I believe that is all that we can give up after your coronation, '' Hartwell told Derrick. `` Anymore might fork over the ship useless though you do get 90 % of the bunch. ''
'' Blessed Virgin run all scope, if there is the flimsy crinkle I want to know about it no topic how small-scale. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.
'' Yes father, running all now. '' The Virgin replied as she reached out to multiple calculator systems to substantiate or deny information that were soon pouring in.
Within minutes she had cleared half the gang as she thought she might, and then she ran across one that she was not sure of at all. Still she kept at it soon finding another five that were More than questionable. `` forefather I have completed the leaning of ALL crew members, '' she stated a mere ten moment later. `` I have six extremity that are in interrogation ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne faction. ''
Derrick and Hartwell 's heads snapped up at this news, `` Display please, '' Derrick told her. Derrick and Hartwell went over the info for all six quickly dismissing four of the other five, and then they were reviewing the sixth. `` Virgin Mary is there a test to fall upon whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''
Mary was quiet a few moments, as she searched her data point base, `` Yes father there is, but I am afraid that it can be calamitous. If the someone is indeed a conditioned spy the test could produce a ripple effect that would distribute 'til almost all computer memory is erased. In the past any of the two faction that were questioned died within proceedings of their mind cuticle being broken. I have refined it in the last 500 years but the results still are n't that favorable for endurance. I am good-for-nothing Sire but given the few times I have performed the routine I still have insufficient data to correlate an effectual intervention. ''
'' Let me see your results and readings during your questioning session Mary, I might have a few melioration that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data, he started seeing component of the Old programming viruses that Blessed Virgin had been infected with to destruct all her sustenance circuits. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost insensate fastness typing at a fulgent gait. Finally an hour later he was looking over all the employment he 'd just finished, Hartwell had backed away not wishing to interfere and the simple fact that he 'd never seen anyone type that fasting.
'' I think I have it patched enough for you to honorable piece of work it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's piece of work as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the viruses she had were designed for her to actually down the spies rather than question then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do zilch but output reel results that should prove Sir Thomas More than utile. `` I believe we are more than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very rude awakening. '' Derrick laughed as he started to flip several switch.
'' How would you like to proceed with this one ? '' Virgin Mary asked Derrick a few moment later.
'' I 'll decide after I am crowned. Two things that unfortunately have to befall today, one we ARE executing that bastard Maury ; that is happening no matter what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a celebration of that slime ball's death but a promise of life, it will be at that fourth dimension I will reveal who I am and not before, is that make Madonna ? '' Derrick asked.
'' Yes your lordship, as you know you will then be capable to lower and elicit the castle defense control grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an emergency then I can instantly get up them, as stated before, your life sentence takes precedence over everything, '' almost in a whisper Virgin Mary added, `` This includes the life-time of this unit. ''
Derrick whipped around to stare at Mary after she 'd give tongue to these words, `` I do not appreciate your levity in this matter Blessed Virgin ! '' Derrick quickly told her.
'' I am only speaking the Truth your Lordship, it is all that I can do, as that the way that I was made, '' Madonna said, her head bowed tears slowly beginning to fall down from her oculus.
'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not intend for you to be put into a post like that, you do interpret that without you and the others I would never have accepted this position. '' When The Virgin only nodded her center wide at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to last-place prospicient after I am gone. '' The tears were falling harder now no one, no Saturnia pavonia had ever given her, her minor or their children the condition that this man did.
'' Mary, how close are we to being ready for all of this ? '' Derrick said though he really did n't like to kill, this was the one prison term he really had no qualms about it.
'' I estimate that we have at least three hours before the implementation, then depending how soon
afterward we can induce the coronation within instant. Do you palpate we need to make an annunciation about everything forefather ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the emperor was still somewhat upset about everything she just wished there was more she could do.
'' I think a word of advice ... I mean an announcement would be prudent in this sheath. I want you to turn over all that you can, let all know that as of today the Empire begins again. If they wish to unite then they will need to swear dedication to the empire and all the other kingdom within it. If they desire to stand against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a grim expression shadowed his font, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''
Mary nodded then vanished to set about the grooming for the capital punishment and the eventual crowning of the new emperor. Derrick was sitting at the foot of the throne again when the linkup on his wrist chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a trouble ? ''
'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to have it away that 1000 is ready for space with only three Clarence Day to go before her re-gen reaches culmination. '' Shelby advised Derrick.
'' Good, I need to speak to her as soon as she has full cerebral activity, how is 0798 's progress ? '' Derrick inquired.
'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be cook in at least a week. '' Shelby told Derrick a panoptic smile on her nerve. `` Derrick I know you still blame yourself for Lucy but we will recover her and she will be given a bomber status among us all. She has struggled for years to feel she was a true EIG, what she did, '' here Shelby lowered her face and voice, `` will not be forgotten by any of us, especially me. She overcame so much to get through the point she did, she did it all for you Derrick and only you. ''
'' Yes I know Shelby, I WO N'T let anyone draw a blank what she did and we will find her. '' Derrick replied trying to keep the tear from his part.
Two and a half hr later Derrick was standing inside the protected outer court. Twenty small containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a berth that had been driven into the ground in the heart and soul. Derrick had respective of the Rangers bringing the man to the Emily Price Post after securing the snarling, spit, and cursing man they beat a hasty retreat. Derrick, who had been there the unscathed clock time wearing a mask, was awaiting the time for this to start. Right before Madonna was to go public Derrick walked to the boundary of the courtyard.
'' You have been a whoreson President of the United States for this supposed republic far too long. '' Removing his masquerade party the ex-President 's mouth dropped capable in daze as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was bushed many long time ago.
'' No you son of a squawk ! You 're utter ; I was told they beat you to last ! NO you 're a spook ! Get away from me ! '' Smiling Derrick reattached the mask and activated the protection around the post. Moving to a window Derrick nodded to Mary who started the broadcast.
'' Citizens of the now defunct commonwealth we are here to find the implementation of the criminal known as president Maury. His lean of crimes is indeed recollective, but in a truncated descriptor there is evidence of race murder, starving whole planet, untold war law-breaking but the bad is the assay murder of the emperor moth, the seek destruction of the Imperial planet, the last is the near Death of over half of the coltsfoot. This last was more than enough to order his death. The imperial sentence ? Death by the imperial sand bore louse. Execution to begin immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six foot long, and an in around, the furry looking red worms slowly crept from their containers.
Maury started to laugh at the fuzzy worms 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his arms, stage, neck, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to scream and beg, Derrick stood stead fast. Derrick knew that showtime the worms would sever the man 's spinal electric cord rendering him ineffective to take the air or crawl away. Then they would guide their time consuming each organ of the body saving the heart, lungs, and head for last.
As he watched Derrick could see the worm starting to bore toward the organ that they wanted to bug out feasting on first. Though the man had passed out a few times he always seemed to pop back up a few moment later as the boring increased the pain in the ass in a new area.
If he remembered right the mind would literally explode from the pressure the worms caused in the man 's cranium. Though not that humane of a expiry it was quite in effect, as the saying went about the dirt ball, once they're in it 's the end. It took another hour before the man began to scream even gimcrack, and then his whole top dog exploded.
'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be vile but it was necessary to generate some jurist to all the phratry of the zillion that this ... matter has caused such great pain. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not want to be crowned after such a dreadful execution but I find
that I must in order to start bringing order and ruler back to the Galax urceolata. Please know that as Saturnia pavonia I was not felicitous doing this. ''
Walking back to the can room Derrick sighed this was the last present moment he would have as knit Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the pot he stood beside it waiting for Mary to appear.
'' To the citizens of the old democracy, I am Mary the law holder and palace protection AI. I was empowered by the very offset Emperor Angelius with the business leader to coronate he who bears all the genetic markers, who has the codes and commands the imperial fleet such as it is at the bit. The man before me is a man of the hoi polloi an emperor not that far removed from the first of all emperor moth. He is the get-go in over 200 years to exhibit all the qualities. Sire ? Are you cook to feign the duties as rule and protector of Empire, and do you at this prison term reveal who the Saturnia pavonia is with full knowledge that you rule for the masses ? '' Mary stated in an official vox.
'' I do Mary, '' a very nervous Derrick replied.
'' Please sire remove the mask and show the Empire the font of its new rule. '' Mary said as she had to conquer a smile.
Almost all of the Rangers present gasped when Derrick removed his mask revealing his indistinguishability. Derrick smirked as he could see several of them whisper that they knew him or cognise of him.
Mary waved her hand as a sword and a crown appeared, `` By the power invested in me by the authorisation written by the first emperor, '' here she touched each shoulder joint with the sword. `` I dub you Emperor O'Toma the for the first time, ruler of the galactic empire. Please arise Emperor O'Toma and invite the crown of the imperium. '' With a slight grinning Virgin Mary lowered the Crown via mechanical arms upon Derrick 's head word. `` Please be seated sire, '' Mary advised him as she turned toward the all that were watching. `` It is done ! Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire ! ''
All the Rangers in the way, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Mary had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` sire Ranger command has advised me to swear allegiance to you as do I and my men, also to tell you that all of the Ranger military unit is now at your administration. ''
'' Thank you Rear Admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your mastery 's courteous offer of allegiance. I will do all in my big businessman to ensure that the Empire will be a shine beacon fire of exemption from such beasts as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a little smirk on Derrick 's lips .
