Derrick was moving through the access way toward the master section of the shipyard. Ahead to his correct faculty police sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left hand. police sergeant first class Book of the Prophet Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two safeguard in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no noise. Shaking his brain he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the niche as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As tranquility as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guards away with little to no noise.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in figurehead of the stocky certificate threshold. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the doorway clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any more guard duty. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the position that was here. Apparently the ship yard had been infiltrated by some really bad characters. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an burst on the exaltation as it moved away from the ship yard.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hall. So far the scans had indicated thirty men that were here, well twenty eight now. All the reports had said that thirty bodies had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the coordination compound Derrick almost growled when he saw that their foe had tripled their safety device. ‘ hoot'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at least eight out here, and another eight at the adjacent junction. Might get one set of them not sure about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the hold up two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry air force officer. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the transport were being held. A bare ten hour later they were well inside about to make a move when an alarm went off.

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

'' Found the outer about guard drained sir, '' came the voice of a Whitney Moore Young Jr. sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the son of a bitch ! Leave three here with me, ought to be sufficiency to assure these scar Milquetoast. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the backrest of the rampart picking their positions. Taking a oceanic abyss breath Derrick knew that this next part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

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

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

Rushing toward the wall, the leader only heard the maiden then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to cry then the com. was flying across the elbow room with a hole in it. A bit later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the female in the room the man shouted to the air placing a repellent tongue at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's utterly whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from dissimilar direction were heard. Then the tongue was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a hole in the side of his head.

Derrick ran out to check on Shiloh and subsidisation. `` deputy battle of Shiloh, countenance Ulysses Simpson Grant can you both stand ? ''

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

Derrick had to laugh softly, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to give birth society. I want you and yield to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their spinal column.

Hiram Ulysses Grant snapped to attention as did Shiloh. `` testament do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the bulwark himself moving to a expert stance. Touching his ear he said. `` demand them all no survivors ! ''

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

'' Happy to clean up the soil. '' Gregory John Norman said with a smile.

The following ten minute of arc could only be described as a line bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fasting, as all three of the men took them out. ineffectual to see their targets the final few panicked trying to scat. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.

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

'' Commander ? '' Came the voice of battle of Pittsburgh Landing.

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

'' Just wanted to let you know that we are secure. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.

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

'' certainly Commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to resume the plasma drive so it 's going to be at to the lowest degree an hour. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, in force then I 'll get to match all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lip. `` At least I hope I get to fill all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to touch the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing chuckled.

'' well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a hint of laughter in his voice. Looking up Derrick 's look was suddenly grim as he nodded. damn it ! They had so little sentence !

Turning toward both Jessye Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three time of day before all Inferno falling out loose. I really do n't need to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to take away all Tempro has to get pull in enough. Unfortunately the ripalon energy prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``

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

'' No I do n't believe so as long as we are away before the metre. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we experience to sir ? Ca n't we just save them all ? '' Norman said with a grim face.

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

Both men nodded with turgid eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes Sire, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's thoughts.

[ `` Good send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a put off next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small-scale electronic spell appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear signal for at least 200,000 klick. After that a relay station is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough length to deliver minimum damage. '' ] Tempro answered.

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

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

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

Derrick shook his point there was no way he could ever detest any of these offspring of battle of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the males on the binding as he moved toward where Shiloh and subsidisation were in the bidding of the ship.

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

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

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

'' I know when More than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different counselling. perdition if I did n't get laid better I 'd say it was Jessye Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are beat. ''

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

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

'' Yes, you have some fine boys Lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you call back of little Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't take on a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four kid when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got encompassing then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Pittsburgh Landing ! You in effect not be in the plasma reactor elbow room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''

'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our paths Cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breathing space. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to take him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes father. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are clear. '' ] Tempro replied.

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

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from rear end him as he was about to step out of the ship hatch. `` It would only adopt a mo ; do you really own to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Shiloh standing to his full six foot two in altitude. `` I 'll meet her one day deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ''

battle of Shiloh nodded a look of surprisal and worry on his aspect as he thanked the commander. Hurrying past tense Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other slope of the reactor room watching the engineer.

His custody on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her school principal she gulped a bit at the look on her Father 's look. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out immature lady ! '' Shiloh told her with a grisly aspect on his brass that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to cause Shiloh to laugh. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to severalize mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not surely, though this is a near affair to hold over your psyche do n't you remember ? '' Gunter said a diminished smile small smile on his sass.

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

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

They were walking toward the berthing area when the air force officer 's last Word came back to him. [ deputy, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours. You hold that little young lady tight, very compressed understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't agitate the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to damn much a coincidence that the commanding officer had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his married woman. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control room Mika. ''

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

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

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

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

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

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled looking at. Almost the Lapp thing that the commandant had said !

Making his way to the control elbow room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the trivial fille was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hr later when Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the function to undock then leave.

'' Levels look good, all hatches closed, all seal good. No ruptures, no red of atmosphere. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' grant told him.

battle of Pittsburgh Landing was about to activate the locomotive engine when he noticed they were still a lilliputian tight to the post. `` Mr. Hiram Ulysses Grant I suggest we put more than a mere thousand kilometre between us and the station. Did you notify the ranger of what happened ? ''

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

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

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

'' dictation we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send help to old place railyard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Ulysses Grant said. `` Crap ca n't appear to get through. dead reckoning we need to get further away. ''

Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for engine control Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke free !

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

'' information says that the ship exploded five minutes from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly induce its way further from the place. `` 4000 kilometer, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

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

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

Derrick flew to the ascendence input key plank as he was typing faster than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would bite my IMT out completely. It would require at to the lowest degree a workweek to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't lose them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's eyes had tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems together. brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one thirty five. Now at one fifty. ''

'' I have them sire the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

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

Derrick heard a distant explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you alright ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT arrangement has exploded. It also seems to take taken out a few of my systems. I 'm afraid I will have to regen for a sentence. I 'm grim I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the flooring near him. Shining bright a minute then Derrick saw an unconscious mind battle of Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine class old girl.

The lady friend struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to wake her founding father up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm blue I was in engineering again please dad ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little girl asked, `` Can you please facilitate my daddy ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little girl staring at the patch he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his face.

'' Of line Mr., '' the little young woman said as a foreign looking at came over her face. `` It 's a office for the care of the infirm, regorge, or injured ; hospital or facility service of process as a infirmary. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looking at were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please fall out Tempro to where he is delight that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

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

Derrick was nodding as he watched the minuscule young lady following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly run. A little girl 's giggle drew his attention to the early English of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the little little girl threw her coat of arms around the man as snag of joy started to fall from her eyes. `` I was so dash I was going to lose you ! ''

'' I feel hunky-dory, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' wellspring, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a present moment then her case lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite imperial beard shielder ships ! ''

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

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's interpreter from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find fourteen others. ''

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

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

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

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

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

A shimmering of visible light appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her bridge player through his smiler with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please get her to break doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic theatrical performance of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial intelligence information of this ship. '' Tempro said with a suspiration as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please kibosh passing your handwriting through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a strange aspect and luminousness in her optic. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the idle field as an interference blueprint of seemingly random sport in the opacity, density, or surface profile of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the Cy Young missy. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you stimulate questions ? ''

Still with a unknown look on her face she asked, `` Are you generated via lens and lasers ? ''

'' No young woman Shelly I am a project contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no issue what the light is in the elbow room. I can be made with lens and laser though they are petroleum and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be potential to put up a organisation to provide you a way to be outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the lilliputian girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's center got vauntingly. `` We have to get her to shut that orbit of her brain off ! father if we do n't it will wipe out her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a loss for the first time in a foresighted clip. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the interest Father of the Church on the bed.

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

Softly at first then they all saw the crying start from her eyes they heard. `` pappa ? pop ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the little little girl was running to her Padre as she threw her weaponry around him. The only sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her Father of the Church 's pectus.

Then they all heard a suspiration as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a full analysis of her. observe out if there is a way to facilitate her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Hiram Ulysses Grant walked in. `` You adept let his wife out soon or we 're going to suffer a BIG trouble with that niggling womanhood. She damn near took my mind off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last fourth dimension you got me rummy. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't leave yet. ''

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

Ulysses Simpson Grant snapped to tending then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` dingy Tempro. ‘ ejaculate in here to tell me to unstrain I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh crap ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL steamed. Better let her out before she starts destroying hooey. ''

Derrick 's eyes got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. explain you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. Close off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the threshold then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to speed ! ''

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

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring wide eyed at the medical room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find a way to help Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the only girl I have or will ever take in. I damned near go bad having her I can never have child again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another cycle of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
