Wren watched with her anger rising. Who in the inferno, did her chum think he was ? A minute later both the caloric missile impacted against his ship 's shields.

An almost slaked grin, came to her lips as she watched her brother 's ship go dark.

'' afford a channel Trigon. '' Wren said.

'' Channel undecided Master Wren. '' Trigon responded.

'' Hey retard ! What 's wrong ? Ca n't study it when someone is far in force than you ? Plus, they have far superscript equipment, power and need I say looks ? Oh yeah, that 's correct that 's why you have so many followers, you 're so damn ugly. '' Wren taunted her brother.

'You piddling squawk ! You 'll pay for that ! I want all weapon system to fire now, destroy that piece of trash. '' doubting Thomas was shouting.

'' I 'm afraid that all artillery are down, '' came a vox from off screen.

'' What ! ? Get then up now, or you and your entire family wo n't know another day ! '' Thomas was almost shouting.

'' Tsk, tsk, sounds like person is having a tantrum. I 'll fix that kiss my a ... '' Wren started to say the started to cuss when her blood brother 's ship moved away.

'' After them we should be capable to completely ... '' Wren started to curse harder when her brothers ship jumped to hyper space. `` Tracking ? ``

'' I am afraid that the shot they got through, has temporarily blinded our long-range sensors. I am effecting repair as we speak. '' triangle said.

jenny wren nodded as she looked over the readings from the wreckage of the ships that had attacked them.

'' It appears as if almost all the ships were destroyed. Are you detecting survivor ? Are there any more out there that we have to concern about ? '' wren asked Trigon.

'' You are even out Master Sir Christopher Wren ; I am reading XC eight pct of the attacking fleet destroyed. '' triplicity answered.

Wren was nodding as she was going over other recital. `` Have you determined how he was able-bodied to get through ? ``

'' I am still analyzing the attack, so far, the entirely thing I see is that the missile were out of phase. '' Trigon replied.

'' Out of stage ? '' Wren asked.

'' About the merely way to explain it. When we are in hyperspace, we are out of phase with convention outer space. The same as when we are in trans-warp, we are here though not, as we have phased to that blank space. It appears that the missile momentarily went to hyperspace to lapse our shields. They, then emerged past our shields, therefore being able to strike us. '' trigon tried to explain.

Sir Christopher Wren was deep in thought a moment then nodded. `` Have you deduced a solution for this ? ``

'' I am using almost number mental ability, to compute various viable surmisal. '' Trion answered.

Wren was nodding, feeling her anger toward her Brother, starting to break through what command she had established. It was slightly easier than when she left though, she was still having controller issues.

A sudden vocalisation in her nous stopped her a moment. Sir Christopher Wren, if you lose manipulate out here like you did on Ceti-5, we might not be able-bodied to pull you from the abyss. If you do pass that full point, I am afraid that all of us will die painful deaths.

'' What ! ? '' Sir Christopher Wren said out loud once again startled. `` Here, I thought that all of you in there could stop it. ``

We could, the phonation replied. Though, we would have to direct dominance, it is painful when permission is not granted. It could even with you as senior high school as you are, set you back several levels.

'' What, so everything I had achieved would be for naught ? '' Wren asked.

We are ashamed to accommodate this, there is a way though it goes against almost everything you have learned as a homo. It would trample many of the approximation that human kind has for Singularity. With us, we have a group knowingness, we are when we are as one, only one head, though many thoughts.

'' Would I have to become an energy ball like I saw all of you on Ceti ? '' Wren asked.

No, the phonation replied. We have found that, when we are joined like we are, it becomes harder and intemperate to take a self-colored form. Many of us, are just now becoming able, for a hour of you time, to reach this.

'' So, you 're telling me that I am that important to all of you ? '' Wren asked.

It has become increasingly clean to almost all of us, that you are. The voice of professional Flugret said.

'' Master Flugret ! I was afraid that you were no longer talking to me. Can I ask ? '' Wren said.

Of path, trivial Wren. Flugret voice in her psyche said.

'' You know me better and far thirster than any of the others. Do you think I could deal with whatever the other voices said ? '' wren asked.

At the submit time ? No, I am afraid that you, with your human thought, would quickly reject the process. Flugret 's voice said.

'' I have an idea, though even it, scares me to some stage. '' jenny wren said, then explained her idea to Flugret.



Norman Thomas was growing closer and cheeseparing to using his acquirement he 'd learned on Ceti-5, to kill the entire bridge deck crew. Catching his self, he did all he could to calm before that happened.

The gang had seen him like this before, they were staying out of orbit of him. All the commodity that it did them as St. Thomas, was far faster than any of them.

A looking at at the sensors showed that his bitch half sister had n't given chase.

'' Do we possess information on why she has n't followed us ? Saint Thomas asked.

The lead scientist said a understood prayer to his god as he opened his mouth to speak.

'' Sir, it appears that the projectile that hit the other ship, has blinded the sensor for a curt time. '' The scientist said awaiting the decease blow that he thought was coming.

Thomas 's brain snapped toward the alien, `` blinded the sensor ? Show me ! '' Thomas said a slight smiling crossing his features. `` Ah ! Finally good intelligence, '' turning to the others he said. `` I want as much distance as you can get. We need to effect repairs as soon as we can, plus what improvements we can. ``

Seth Thomas whirled heading off the bridge toward his quarters. As soon as he had locked the room access, he turned on anti-listening devices. Reaching above the door he set several deadly twist to pop anyone that entered.

He then hooked up several political machine to the ship com. Satisfied he sat, `` alright mother we 're secure. '' He started.

It was respective min before he expected an resolution. He reached over pulling a bottle of a unripe liquid, turning it up he took a deep swallow. Dylan Marlais Thomas grimaced as the liquid state burned down his pharynx. The slight twinkle headedness passed quickly as he smiled. hoot, tasted really bad, had hardly no buzz, though it helped to rid most of the pain racking his body.

He had drained half the bottleful, when his mother answered. `` I am occupy what in the hell do you desire ? ``

'' Uh, uh, uh, I suggest you change your strain. I am not one of the mindless masses that are under you. '' St. Thomas said.

'' No, I do n't reckon so. '' Dylan Marlais Thomas said when he heard her start to mouth. `` It is obvious that you withheld information from me. The little bitch has weapons I have n't seen in a number of years, plus a few I have never seen. The only way we got to her at all was the phase missiles. ``

'' That is no way to speak to your Empress ! '' Esmeralda almost shouted. `` I ... ''

'' Shout the sin up mother. I am a netherworld of a long way from you, so do n't give me any grief. You might be the Empress ; you are nothing without me. Or should I release your valued husband ? I think all the aligned earthly concern would take heed to him long before they would you. '' Thomas said with a snide grin on his lips.

'' You would n't defy ! '' Esmeralda almost shouted a spirit of horror on her face.

'' Wan na try me ? I am tired of you lording over me. I do n't really pass a shit for your plans right now. Not 'til I rid the both of us of that bastard 's spawn. Her ship, has disabled mine three times now. I do n't aim to allow her to do so again. Not a Christian Bible bitch ! After I kill her THEN, I 'll head back, out. '' Norman Thomas said a look of utmost choler on his face.

Esmeralda 's typeface held shock at the way her son had spoken to her. Did n't he get laid that she had enough problems here ? She suddenly stopped, Lowell Thomas had gotten through ? He 'd actually hit her ship ? She then ran through all the arm they had, experimental, measure, plus the new foreigner one they had acquired.

Damnit, she thought. Figures that, it would be the experimental weapons they had just developed. Disconnecting her special com, she called the development team.

'' Doctor ? '' She said when the man came on the line. `` I want you to get as many of the phasic missiles as you can to me. I also want you to add the specs to the fleet missile God Almighty automobile. ``

'' I will do so immediately ; I am afraid that it will involve at least a day though. '' The male person said.

'' That 's exquisitely, we 're not really going anywhere at the instant. I am hoping that these new projectile can break through the Ceti-5 shell. '' Esmeralda said as a misrepresented smile came to her lips.

'' It just might my Empress, they are after all, highly unstable after they are fired. '' The physician said.

'' goodness, I ca n't abide those on Ceti-5 defying the large Empire in this galaxy. '' Esmeralda said with as commanding voice as she could.

The man bowed, then nodded, `` I will effect to speed up the unconscious process as fast as I can. ``

'' Very good though, not outside of the safety rule of thumb. The last chump I had at the head of development forgot that. They still have n't found one-half of him yet. '' Esmeralda said.

'' It will be as you say Empress. '' The principal scientist said then clicked off.

So, Esmeralda thought that minuscule bitch daughter of her husband had n't thought of everything. in force, good, there was a chance to bring in her to heel after all.



Wren 's ship jumped to hyper-space an hour after her blood brother 's ship did. An tempestuous sigh escaped her backtalk, she saw that the all ghost of his trail had degraded to nothing.

'' I am sorry Master Wren ; the energy lead is gone. I can tail along the line they were going though, I am afraid it is almost hopeless. '' Trigon reported.

'' On another subject, have you deduced a solution to the phasic missile ? Having no offence against something they have is n't very heartening. '' jenny wren told Trigon.

'' As I stated before I am working through several scenarios. After that I will start to apply practical covering. As of yet, I have only found two possible root. I will own to run all statistic on them, before I can start to apply actual data toward them. '' Trigon said.

Wren shook her head, she really depended on Trigon. His dry analytical answer, could aim her Nut at times.

'' Let me see what you have so far. I might be able-bodied to add data that you have n't acquired yet. '' Wren said.

'' If this data is anything like retiring data point you have added, it will be a receive summation. '' Trigon responded.

Wren nodded as she stepped to the data entryway comprehensive. She started to typewrite at an almost inhuman speeding, then suddenly stopped when her paw started to glow. The gleam was n't what actually stopped her, it was her hands passing through the keyboard.

A slightly frightened look crossed her features, taking a mystifying breathing spell she felt herself composure. For a few moments cypher happened, worrying her a bit, then slowly the radiance receded with her script solidifying.

That was an fantabulous instance of control, a voice she had n't heard much of said in her head.

'' I seem to make out this voice, if I may ask ? Is this the voice of the first headmaster ? '' Wren timidly asked.

It is you have progressed far in such a short time. I was going to watch as the others instructed you, though this ? I had to comment on, you have as I said progressed far, unfortunately you still have a longsighted way to go. This that you have done ? Will help you far more than anything else. The first master said.

'' What ? You mean being able-bodied to cool off like I did ? That was something my Fatherhood taught me, see your breathing insure the rage. '' Wren said.

Ah yes ! Your father the Emperor, he was also on the verge of degree five when he left. He was the starting time to go as far as he did, well that was 'til you. I can only ideate that he is as proud of you as you are of him. The first master copy said.

'' Yes I ... what did you say ? As proud of me ? first base schoolmaster I am not sure if you have heard my father is dead. '' Wren said with a shaking voice.

Oh ? The get-go Edgar Lee Masters voice said. That 's unknown, I can feel him quite alive, I 'm not certainly who told you this, I am afraid it is not true.

'' WHAT ! ? animated ? I saw his ship destroyed, how ? No, I should have known that that power hungry bitch lied. Well, It 's a beneficial affair I took as often as I did from her. '' Wren growled. `` trigon have you made any more onward motion on the accounts ? ``

'' Yes Master Wren, I have managed to garner another ten percent. I believe that 's another ten quadrillion credits. The eighty five percentage is as far as I can go. It appears the encryption was changed as soon as I started to hack it. Ten percent is the limit point, I hope that the additional hundred million will facilitate. '' Trigon said.

'' I believe it will help more than you know. It 's that much more the squawk does n't stimulate, to pay the cause of death she has. No money, no help, hell, some might even twist on her. '' Sir Christopher Wren said a blanket smiling dominating her features.

'' Do you think that, that might accrue ? '' Trigon asked.

'' I do n't know, though, I do go for it does, it 's about clock time the cunt stopped having things so easy. Yes, I think it 's about fourth dimension she has slayer after her. Like she, has had after me for so long, especially when I did n't do what she wanted. '' Wren said a truly arch smile lighting up her face.



Esmeralda was actually starting to have a serious day when, it was all shattered by a song. Her smile quickly faded when she saw it was her royal accountant.

'' Tell me you have good news, such as you have managed to get back the century of quadrillions of credits she got. '' A hopeful Esmeralda said.

The face on the Male 's face let her roll in the hay instantly that this was n't going to be pleasant at all.

'' I am afraid that her A.I. was able to hack another ten per centum. '' The male said.

'' Shit just how much more did she get ? '' A horrendous Esmeralda said.

'' Another ten quadrillion. '' The Male said uneasily.

'' How much in total ? '' Esmeralda asked afraid of the answer.

'' It appears just over a quintillion credits. Where she moved them though is still evading all our full efforts to find. '' The male replied.

'' Keep looking you know the penalty for loser. '' Esmeralda said icily.

'' I am well aware your Empress. '' The male said, as the Empress grunted then cut him off.

It took all that she could do not to lash out at those near her. She really needed to vote out something or someone.

'' full admiral ! '' Esmeralda shouted a little louder than she intended. `` Are there any prisoners in the brig ? ``

The admiral snapped to attention, `` yes my Empress, two low ranks that are sleeping off being drunkard on duty. ``

'' I want them taken to the execution room ; I believe it is time to progress to an example of them to the remainder of the crew. '' Esmeralda almost growled.

'' Yes, your Empress, I will suffer them moved immediately. Do you wish this program to the ship or the fleet ? '' The Admiral asked slightly shaking, having disturbed her thoughts.

'' The fleet ? '' Esmeralda asked then thought a minute. `` No, I want it to the intact empire, let all know that I expect add together loyalty from all subjects. I will also be performing the executions my self. ``

'' Of course, as you wish my Empress. '' The admiral said as he started to proceed away.

A small wicked smile came to her brim as she said, `` I want all dominate officers in the way to witness, I want all of you to cognize what will happen if any of you piss me off. '' Esmeralda said.

to a greater extent than a slight shaken the admiral started to act off again, when the Empress stopped him.

'' Yes my Empress ? You have Sir Thomas More to add ? '' The shaken officer said.

A diminished smirk appeared on her lips, when the Admiral moved back to her.

'' You will name the telephone call from here, there will be no word of advice. I want them all here within XXX minutes, or they will suffer greatly. Namely, they wo n't go out the day. '' Esmeralda said menacingly.

Much to her delectation, all of her commanding fleet ship's officer were there in only XX minutes. This though rapidly declined as now she had no more to kill. Oh well she thought, she 'd just have to have her fun with the two.

The two men were tied to station wondering what they had done wrong. A few thirty minutes later they were shocked then horrified. Not only had every dominate fleet officer entered the room, so had the Empress.

One of the men had no mind, though it quickly dawned on the early just what was going to happen.

The Empress smirked at the two male. `` Today the both of you will serve as an example to the3 Empire what disloyalty will get you. ``

Esmeralda was thoroughly going to bask this as she drew, her hired man back. Moving far faster than anyone could see respective hundred baseball swing started to look on the clueless male 's soundbox. Blood was flying everywhere covering all the officers in the room.

It was a mo later that the screams started. Ah ! The scrumptious audio of a anguished soul, Esmeralda thought. She paused, then started again this metre starting to remove organic structure section Ears, toes, fingers, a nose.

Esmeralda stopped admiring her work so far, then cursing when she felt her anger defusing. With a suspiration she started to go faster and deeper. start taking the lower organs, moving gamey, 'til she took his heart. She showed it to the male, then smiled as he slumped against the circle holding him.

Esmeralda took a recondite breath, holding her laughter back. Almost every officer was losing their tiffin in a beautiful ten thousand of gloss. Ah ! It was more than worth it to see all the dowdy men do this. Then there was the fact that they were almost all horrified at the profligate on their clean uniforms.

A sneer came to her lips as she looked at the endorse male person. Her eye opened wide so, this one knew what was coming and he was terrified. She gave the male a rear look then nodded her head.

'' So, it appears that we actually have a truehearted subject, dismission him, promote him. If, I hear that this one is abused or harmed in any way, '' here she looked at ALL the officer. `` Then I am afraid that another case will be give birth to be made. '' She quickly looked at all the officers. `` With you though it will be more than just you. Get out of here. ``

Another grinning came to her rim as, all the Male almost broke their cervix to escape the room.

'' Empress ? '' Came a spokesperson from the comm. `` The master scientist is here. ``

'' Ah safe, I 'll be there shortly, '' Esmeralda said. Perhaps with these new weapons, I can rid the world of the Ceti.



On Ceti-5 Master Flugret was readying several pieces of equipment. Several of the masters were walking around Budorcas taxicolor vantage of being solid.

Master Flugret, watched each as they were adjusting to being capable to physically touch things.

He 'd just finish up the endure adjustment when there was a faint shimmering behind him. He only became aware of it when several masters gasp.

With a quick turn Flugret also gasp at the shimmering vision of Wren. `` It appears that our enemies have discovered form shifting arm. That is the only affair that could let her do this. ``

The others nodded as Flugret started to add respective more adjustments. He then nodded, now, they were truly cook .
