Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The cold and unforgiving shadow of place can be a hard mistress when searching for something. It had been two weeks
now and Derrick was no closer to finding more of the A.I. brain boxes than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the claim position of the last battle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would throw been easier than this.
Always having been extremely ache, Derrick had tried to write several programs to aid 0999 to act more
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. sin, it appeared that even the first emperor had n't had as lots
corporate trust of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly redundant political program that
were stopping independent actions and thoughts outside of certain limits. It appeared that the Godhead of the EIG
program had been more paranoid than Derrick had at inaugural thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to disable another of the limiting A.I. programs. He 'd found that they were
always in pairs, trying to disable the low gear always seemed to make finding the minute easier. The whole time he 'd
been running examination to see how much more autonomous thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been much change.
Derrick had just started to describe where the second programme was after trying to disable the 31st political program he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an close at hand system cascade loser, please cease your natural action or I 'll be forced
to terminate you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the circuit, then the hardware blanket. With succor
sounding in its spokesperson E responded, `` All systems returning to normal, cascade failure arrested. ``
`` I 'm sorry E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no finisher to unlocking all of your
freelancer systems than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far more than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me to a greater extent than either of us at first thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would get caused immediate death. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` job is the political platform, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost monovular, I
have n't been able to spot the difference between the 30 I disabled and the major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 days looking over the platform he 'd handicap, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him belt down. Hmmm from what he saw the first 30 he disabled had been written by a
multitude of basic programmers, though this go darn he was sure he recognized the touch it just seemed to luxate
out of his compass. While E checked through one-time and more Recent imperial book, Derrick ran the adjacent 500 program.
Looking for certain parametric quantity he slowly began to make out similarity between a few of the 500 and those he 'd disabled before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numerical pattern in the placement of the limiting computer program.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoiac men back then it might
just be an attempt to fool anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the touch of the one syllabus, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''
`` It appears this platform was created as a terminal fail safety. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
signature is from a character of the old imperial family, indirectly in line for the toilet. It also seems to mirror your
family 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your home related to the royal family ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't know, but come to think of it, that might explain why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the mob, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is reliable, you may be the live of the majestic kinsfolk. You may be the but one with the power to
open the castle, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal ? Then again it did make a lot of signified, both his father and
grand-father had been found utter not far from the outer perimeter of the palace shield. According to both the area
was loaded with lying in wait and deadly animals ( not just the 4 or 6 legged kind ).
Derrick shock his nous to crystallise it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a weak tracking signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about meter ! The salvage fleet might have shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detecting equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` follow this signal it 's fallible so it might consider a ... '' There was a import of a whining strait then they were half way to the following coltsfoot ! `` ... while to see it. '' Derrick finished. `` Damn it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a hurt sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd want to hurry. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to remember that E could experience his impregnable emotions, hear his strongest
cerebration. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the hologram slightly bowing its mind. `` I was not with this unit when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one other clock time. I believe a total of 200 of my buddy and sisters disappeared international
our galaxy. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a large military group was lost outside the confines of the beetleweed. Have you
located the brain box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely faint, Derrick ! The box is close to failing ! Permission to add it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` First glance over it for explosives, toxins, computer virus and any early smutty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting several explosives ; they contain sufficient force to destroy one of
us from the inside. ``
Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their home galaxy would be the Lapplander. `` clip to
disarm and ... ''
`` clearance and channel in 5 arcsecond to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All CAT scan now readable Derrick. ``
`` Good, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.
E was unsounded a few second, `` I am detecting extremely weakly cerebral bodily process, attempting to infuse Energy
now. Infusion successful, it will be at least one hour before I can attempt re-gen jump, at present the free energy outturn
of the brain box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive damage near the core group, the data and memories may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, keep open me informed of the advance of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with patience I believe that the unit can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced damn he hated to
lose the living department of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a full hour had passed with Derrick in the record elbow room, when a chime sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's charge articulation, `` She 's alive ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's alive ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` study E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to do calmly, `` I was finally able to infuse the box with enough energy to slowly start
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many deep scans but she is 0999 my closest Sister, she and several others were lost in the very
first of various battle outside our galaxy. Unfortunately, I am afraid part of her memory is damaged, it is a shame
though I wo n't know the extent of the damage till she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the mastermind box was severely damaged true, but it was more intact than not. Derrick hoped most
of her files were intact, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, call back though I know you are anxious to get her back, do n't rush. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't forget, it is my hope that most of her remains. As I said there was extensive damage. '' Derrick
could listen the Hope in E 's phonation, he too was hoping as he felt it would help to heal E further.
The residue of the week Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to attend through the disk from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the lie, the thaumaturgy that had lead to the destruction of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to further the signal detection signal more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to advise you when 0098 was conscious, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his mind he knew E was excited.
`` Whenever you 're ready E, '' Derrick said to get affair started.
Suddenly there was a mechanical voice coming from the loudspeaker, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in battle outside our galaxy, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting stark legal injury to my brainiac box. I seem to be missing the last year of my memory, plus
struggle maneuver, and tactical, '' The interpreter replied.
`` I can issue you with the last two, the first I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the voice asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the nifty struggle fleet ever made left, it is a pity. ``
`` There was only me, had my undercoat not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are undetectable ! Truly your prime is a brilliant humanoid, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to blush he was smart sure but superb ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't remember brilliant is an
exact description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 years no race no ... one has ever been able to detect us. At to the lowest degree not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.
Why were the A.I. 's so surprised it was just alloy detecting equipment he 'd developed days ago, nothing
brilliant there ?
`` flavor you three I am just an ex-soldier and software engineer, not some god or saviour. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained silent for the next hour watching as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the genius box had
sustained more wrong than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive amount of its data and personality.
Derrick went back to the criminal record to stop up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a calendar week longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few days into
the second week another set of alarm went off. Racing for the control condition room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the control elbow room bid seat.
`` I am reading a small fleet of the same airstream that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our wandflower
for added screening, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 stay in close, we do n't sleep together if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank location, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to move to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Position confirmed, commencing resettlement, '' 0999 answered.
The rest of the hebdomad Derrick again worked on the modification plan in the briny computer of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally strong enough and has her own power now, she should be able to fetch up herself in a few
sidereal day. '' E said more excited.
`` trade good though I hate to birth her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a little
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only half listening to E. `` E, I have a inquiry. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the hologram appeared next to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the Lapp within all primary programs ? If I was to
implement the change in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it get the same problems to them that it did
at 1st with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a positive answer, this might lick a lot of problems down the line
IF he could disable enough.
`` At present Derrick I am ineffective to answer that dubiousness. It is true that I did have access to all of both, and true
they were the Saame as far as I saw. I do not recollect you encountering job ; I do ingest comparisons of all three
data file if you wish to expect at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.
`` If I may interject, '' came the vocalisation of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to date ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to make decisions. As she said her system of rules are almost very to all of ours,
therefore you now have an extensive cognition of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transfer to ... '' there was a flash and Derrick was standing on another bridge deck not
unlike E 's, `` the bridge of ... red cent it E at least let me get the words out, Deliverer ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up more of the A.I. 's was n't as good a matter as he 'd at starting time thought.
turning, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' young man with short embrown hair, not overly muscled, no facial nerve hair
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? boilersuit ?
`` Welcome to the bridge primary election Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``
Derrick was about to ask who the snake pit he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but delight just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding primary feather I can not call you less than primary election even when you order me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the computer access was, `` 0999 I will need access to your main system of logic, memory and
data scheme. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the board are open up and awaiting your inspection and repair efforts, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data port and looked over the first 30 programs, hmmm they were take
almost to a fault he 'd just finished the for the first time 20 when an warning signal went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the command
chair, '' paper 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the minor fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our counselling, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective cover ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a moment Derrick replied, `` remove me to 0101, immediately go to calorie-free shield activate all
arm and base by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Compliance, '' 0999 said a sad look on the face of the man, then Derrick was on the bridge of E.
`` 0999, did the programs I disabled enable you any more freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % step-up in free thinking, but it is n't enough to follow up the platform you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` Damn it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared adjacent to him a small smile on her face. `` What is the condition of 0098 ? Can
it use the light screen ? ``
`` Yes I can, primary coil Derrick, though at present it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have engine
potentiality but only sub-light, my liveliness capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E metre 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will achieve penetration of the coltsfoot 's edge in 5 days a full phase of the moon day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will have hyper locomotive engine and 90 % of all her organisation, I am afraid that 90 % of her weapons will be off
contrast as will be her trans-warp engines. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could think of, hell they had been there half way to the next
galax he should experience tried to mine the expanse are something damn it !
`` E ? Do we have long range of a function arm ? Some that might slow them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was quiet a few bit as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a group discussion between each of them.
`` wellspring ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermic projectile, but the range is very short, only a million naut mi I
venerate it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a small 1000 mile field ostentation, the sphere reaches temperatures of well in inordinateness of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a moment that would definitely deter them a while, why he thought, was 0999 the only one
that had them.
`` I can excuse Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thoughts, `` It 's dead on target they are a good hindrance, but the end
they can cause might go far beyond the surface area they are detonated in. They were n't tested much and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still wreak ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes primary feather Derrick, I have 3 in my fanny armory, would you like the schematic to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to deliver them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his ego
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your gens sake was extremely hesitant to even retrieve of using them. I do n't believe it would be a very trade good
idea, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the plan my god ! These things were powerful ! Only 3 meters long and they could do that
much destruction ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the force play advancing on us will destroy you and your
brother and sis. Unless we can come up with something else we have no pick. ``
Derrick could think of the monolithic destruction some of the weapon they had used in the war for what was left
of the old empire, now called the republic. He himself had probably killed 1000 over the years, probably why he
did so dear alone. Then again, being ripped apart and eaten while still active did n't really invoke to him either.
`` 0999, can you bring out to a greater extent of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the exclusively thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 Clarence Shepard Day Jr. to make 2. I would have 4 but 1
was tested on the moon of Darius 5. ``
`` delay, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 planets in the Darius system, and the third and forth are dry dust ba ...
Are you telling me the test destroyed the twenty percent planet then took the atmosphere of the third and Forth River ? '' Looking
harder at the schematics Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most precarious component he known.
`` Derrick, when your name sake created these he told me these were a finis ditch crusade. I think even called
them a fate day weapon, the material they contain is highly dangerous, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not turn a loss you nor the former 2, 0999 is barely out 2 week now, and poor 0098 has n't even gotten a chance to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapon will help with that. please
agree with me on this, I do n't want to be fighting you the whole time on whether or not it is right on ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his address worked as he was going to need E 's help soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding primary of all of us plus you may be the last emperor 's intercourse. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not knock off your life Derrick. '' This lastly was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't be after on wasting my life, I can not suffer by and let these creatures destroy this extragalactic nebula and all
life sentence here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick more than you 'll ever get it on, you believe in everything he did life was extremely precious
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the hologram 's eyes were leaving tears. Whispering E said, `` You are
more precious to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to go product on 2 Sir Thomas More of these missiles, I have program for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in rachis up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes primary election, output commencing, as I said it will take 4 days, 18 hours and 30 instant, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please go on us advised of your growth onward motion ; increase your lightsome carapace as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes Primary, I will try to increase my ontogenesis charge per unit, my capsule is fully repaired so a 20 % growth in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to finish with the readjustment on 0999, '' 2 seconds later he was again on the bridge of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can fetch up what I started. '' An 60 minutes later Derrick was finished. `` Are your syllabus less limited ?
The holographical man paused a second, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % addition in free will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To incorporate the tactical programs you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at to the lowest degree another 360 syllabus ( jumpy appraisal ) that he 'd have to handicap, damn, indirect request large,
great, grand dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the early air force officer probably would n't
have allowed him on board anyway. import later Derrick was back aboard E, `` While I have time E, I need to go
through as many of the political program as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight remainder in the huge
complex platform. It almost appeared that every broadcast was the same as it started out but subtly changed more and
Sir Thomas More as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally move deeper into the heart of E 's syllabus, from
what he saw the pilot software engineer really had been paranoid, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual slave.
He 'd just started to search at her personality platform when he received a cold-shoulder electric shock, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am dark Derrick but those are me, I can not allow you or anyone else to invalid or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the next 3 minute Derrick worked without fillet, he had to get these damn block off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any onrush. Then there was another problem, though he was sure they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every motility, though not bad Derrick was just a bit shaken mentation they had as
much ascendence as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right E, '' Derrick said closing the access panel, `` analyze amount of limitless personality platform. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % more than of my personality programs are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is intemperately to describe I ... some things are easier now not much but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % number no better clarity, damn it 3 60 minutes and only 3 % ! At to the lowest degree the programs were staring to
look different now.
The next day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` primary coil, I have checked and re-checked both caloric projectile, all the settings are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can present them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an idea for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll sleep with it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a thousand musical theme were swirling around in his head. `` E, I need to run a simulation, here are the
conditions and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a small comprehensive that he used on a scan cabinet. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go untimely I want to fuck so I can avoid it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's hologram smiled, felicitous that Derrick was starting to swear her.
It was well over an hour later that E called Derrick to reckon all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more fast-growing stance we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the mission is successful, with mishaps that could happen listed, starting from the spoilt to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the mission is successful but you expire, this
will not happen. ``
Derrick nodded, `` commodity I am glad you explored all possibilities, this will make planning the charge much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the holograph smile after he 'd praised E 's ability. `` 0098, what is your position ?
`` At present tense I have full sub-light locomotive, I am also 30 % hyper drive subject, it also appears my scant shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` Good, I want you to be capable to move if you are spotted, even without your full hyper parkway, you are quick than most
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes primary coil, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a soft almost caressing voice.
Finally a few Day later, with only a few hours remaining Derrick decided it was finally time. He had
installed both missile, disabled 2 % more of the limits on E 's personality, made sure all its shields were at full,
and had made sure that 0999 would be able-bodied to provide security for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to present them then get the pit out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the extremum heat energy of the missiles alone, could destroy E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a moment went through everything a tierce time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's time recall in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to advise you under regulations that this has too gravid a chance to fail, ''
E replied.
`` Your deliberation is taken in to account, '' Derrick said above the whine of the trans-slip engines.
The space in straw man of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in place. Derrick
took readings, adjusted, then fired both missile simultaneously, `` understudy E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the lead ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to time this right finally 20 minute later, the fleet
started to can on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the bollock of fire
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the falling out damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
increase fastness, he was about to speak when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the breach as soon as we emerge, that burst was closing in might espouse us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will attempt to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 secondment later they emerged close to their own extragalactic nebula, `` attempting to close
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the fire is coming through increasing cuticle to fully. ``
Derrick could see the gust starting to go forth damn it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except shields. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am sorry I failed with the mission. ``
There was a immense eruption of plasma exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen door as he watched the good time envelope E .
