Derrick was n't happy, not glad at all, he needed to get out of here and get affair done. All this pomp and crap was starting to wear really fragile on his forbearance. He 'd just released section of the buckler around the palace but was n't set to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threats out there to let his safety down yet. Mary on the other paw was thrilled to no ends to have human being bodies within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 days. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few hours later, `` What did your bidding say about all the proof that we provided them ? ''

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

'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of time to infiltrate the ranks. I had Mary relay a content to the top police officer about the tests that we have designed. I 'll let them know the results as soon as we test it out on that one crew phallus. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this test was going to be as end as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that happy about having a spy on board, though the persuasion of losing a bunch member did n't appeal to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

intellection, Derrick was at a personnel casualty a second, `` Hmm, '' he said then an estimate started to organize. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an theme, first we 'll get her here then ... ''

1st specialist Ensign Callie stared at the huge room that she was in. What a complete thriftlessness of blank and money she thought walking around the potty room. Shaking her fountainhead she did n't even hump why she 'd been picked for this duty assignment ; she was a tech specializer not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the rear end Admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with flaxen blonde hair and benighted brown eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.

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

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

Derrick appeared a moment later, `` fill her to the enquiry room I 'll be there in a few bit, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to record all of this. '' There was a flourish of natural process while the vernal woman was transported to the aforementioned room. Derrick watched as Mary attached respective chasteness and began scanning the cleaning lady looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old CAT scan had found cypher, but the new one that Derrick had suggested were beginning to find all manner of hidden weapons, poisons, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that several to a greater extent CAT scan that he 'd added to Mary 's repertoire of tests still had n't been used. Again as The Virgin started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the hidden arsenal began to steadily grow.

A few min later Derrick nodded when the in conclusion of the obliterate weapons were taken off. Shaking his point Derrick knew he had his workplace cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to come along across the elbow room minute later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Blessed Virgin administered another shot. With a moan the Thomas Young woman 's oculus fluttered undefendable.

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

'' Well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two junto that wish to eliminate the emperor. '' Hartwell told her a flimsy growl to his vocalisation. Derrick smiled then nodded to Madonna who started an odd green beam of light on the woman 's head.

At first nothing happened then the womanhood 's look twisted into a sadistic grin. A dissimilar part soon erupted from her backtalk. `` So your misfortunate, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. Hello you mechanical gripe ! '' The part shouted at Madonna. `` I know that nothing will phase you, at least not 'til she is dead. ''

'' As you suspected sire, the programs would accept had me administer a lethal quantity of radiation sickness. All point are constant, you may go forward my Maker. '' Mary told Derrick a mo later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your petty victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not possible ! You have not had the time to ... '' Looking at Derrick the woman 's side twisted into rage. `` You will learn nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your level of ... ''

'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will answer me now or suffer pain in the ass unlike any you have ever known. We can extract you and simply drain what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the voice coming from the young fair sex.

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

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary. A large arm came out of the wall with a set of antediluvian headphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the woman 's head.

The voice began to laugh, `` You have n't the guts to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to The Virgin, as the current began to menstruate through the equipment an eerie scream began to go forth from the woman 's back talk. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''

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

The woman 's face twisted into another masque of rage as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving Republic trash ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soul heart and soul. Well in a way all the botheration that you feel in demise will. well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the womanhood 's hired hand produced another weapon system and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, all right Madonna no more. ''

The Virgin nodded with a little smile on her rim as electric current again flowed through the equipment. This time the voice screamed even garish for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's consistence finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the component of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to jump a reign as emperor butterfly he thought.

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

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not accept much time. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the operation is finished. '' The Virgin told Derrick with a small smile on her aspect.

Pulling a modest blueness disk from a protector in his pouch Derrick slipped it into a nearby expansion slot. `` The Virgin computer program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, iota, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... father ? Is this the ending of it ? '' Virgin Mary asked startled.

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

'' No Sire I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to death has been delayed another 2 years. The remainder of the program will arrive at my core in another 10 years. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in just months, I now believe that you will completely authorize me soon. '' magnanimous snag were falling from The Virgin 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this whole a chance to live again. '' Here The Virgin bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his promontory in frustration.

'' Mary is there any way that we can groom her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a delicately military officer and I 'd hate for the Rangers to fall back her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few moments later as he looked down on the new cleaning woman.

'' I believe that the political platform you were working on sooner just might do work, though I could go in and beef up her psyche. I am afraid that it would take a few Day though. '' The Virgin told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the cabinet and started typing at blinding upper again. Those in the way backed up a considerable space as they all watched Derrick with undetermined mouths. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for Mary to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes forefather, '' came Blessed Virgin 's reply as she started to integrate all of the new course of study Derrick had just written. `` Going over all scans now, I am picking up anomalous energy meter reading right before the weapon was pulled. Yes forefather I believe I can boost her mind to the pointedness that she can stand firm them without trying. Though I must caution father, they will know that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a moment, he 'd not really expected them to tell that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their agents were ever caught ? Stepping back to the cabinet Derrick started to type for various moments then stepped back. `` I think that might facilitate to hide it, not the best but I think it will ferment. At least 'til it 's too late for the individual source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Mary was looking over the new information that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an genuine challenge for her. Smiling, she was starting to believe that this man would be the greatest Emperor of all, though he still had to get the rest of the Empire to come in pedigree.

1st specialist ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to lift off the soft cot ... no wait she was in a bed ? ! What in the hell was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her point touch sensation as if the world was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking cleaning lady with grey hair watching her.

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

'' I am Mary ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic theatrical performance of the A.I. '' Virgin Mary smiled at the cleaning lady sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a captive ? I remember walking into the throne room then I saw the emperor moth. I felt such rage then an almost vertigo at the persuasion of killing him then nothing 'til I awoke here. What in the hell is going on ? '' The extensive eyed and almost panicked adult female said. She 'd commend the execution and was afraid that she was next in line for the Saami.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the faction. One sect that wishes to remove the Emperor before he can ordain laws to rid the galaxy of them. '' Virgin Mary told the now shaking woman.

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

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

A moment later a hologram of the same tall, sandy blonde hair and drab embrown eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` how-do-you-do Callie, I am Saturnia pavonia Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a commission that I think you would be extremely worry in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am nothing a nobody. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A holograph ? '' A spacious smiling Derrick finished for her causing her rima oris to drop spread. `` honest due to ... uh lot and several hundred protocol, I can not be there at this moment but believe me this is interactive. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only nodding, her wonderment at the holograph grabbing almost all her attention.

'' Anyway we have a commission that I feel will send a message to the religious order. I will not ship you without your consent but they will find you and try to pull up what they put in your head. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an hour to ensure it is truly gone. The affair is if there is naught to take out they will kill you. So unseasoned ma'am are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her drumhead Derrick said, `` Ok eternal rest and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in indigence of a meal ? '' Virgin Mary asked, `` We have a very fine chef who can make whatever you request to get your strength back. ''

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

Derrick sat a moment intellection of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost prison term for the next ship 's growth. '' Blessed Virgin nodded and sighed it was going to be a entire time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his articulatio radiocarpea, `` time to emergence ? ''

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

'' Alright IMT, '' within s Derrick was on the bridgework. All the ship holograms appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to set out adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand precaution over 1000, I know that you will hold her far better than any other. ''

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

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

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

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

'' Yes father, I will endeavor to help protect them both if requisite. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.

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

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar wind up of the locomotive then they were gone. Sighing Blessed Virgin tracked them all the way across the galax. Shaking her head she knew she was in for a truly epic sovereignty by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the neighborhood of a galactic rim organization. `` Shelby can you observe any liveliness out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scans now, the thirdly and last world of this organisation has an area I am having trouble penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moments later. `` Switching get-up-and-go now, I am getting readings though something is starting to tone the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A moment later a good time hit the cuticle effectively rocking the ship.

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

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

'' No structural damage, the flak had deficient energy to cause any damage. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the eruption was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more power than what we just witnessed. An effectual warning to say the least Derrick, orders on how to keep ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a mo then replied, `` Open a channel Shelby let me verbalize to who is down there, maybe we can give a fiddling admonition of our own. ''

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

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

Suddenly Derrick speech was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to move on, this is restricted distance and I will use deadly force to represent it. '' The voice shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the Lapp hot school principal he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was following. `` So Rayb still as much a hot top dog as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that finis ? Could imprecate you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to put away onto Rayburn the consequence he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a bit later the man was in front end of Derrick, `` that execrable word ... Ray..b. What the hell on earth is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the bidding chair. `` COMMANDER ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still awake ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a violent hug. `` Damn it sir ! We were all told that you were dead ! ''

Shelby appeared a moment later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive body-build up of energy from his hall I am afraid that it will go critical if no natural process is taken. ''

Rayburn 's mouth dropped unfastened as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a acoustic projection within a self contained organisation of a cubic figure of speech ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

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

'' Can you effect a shutdown of the scheme ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a close down ; it will cause a monolithic office feedback destroying half of the planet. Just fall the remark exponent to the 5 telephone exchange node ; that should hand over the system in understudy mode. '' Rayburn advised.

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

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced stilted tidings. '' Rayburn fell to his articulatio genus, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like stay here for an continue period of time ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

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

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

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

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

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download place, '' looking over the organisation Rayburn shook his head mumbling to his self. `` Seven cowcatcher yes, sync capacitors, overload drain near, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no backup in event of primary nonstarter ! You are one favourable son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could have cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a here and now then began to smile, bedamn he was glad that Rayburn was on control panel he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

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

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the farseeing time then tears began to slowly autumn from his oculus. `` Sir I have had such a hard time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to let me around. Are you sure you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a eccentric of check posttraumatic stress disorder it is n't like what virtually have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can go extremely violent, are you really sure sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole clip, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the trouble he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell muddle. We got him out and he, for upright pick of intelligence is a underworld of a lot better. I think we can help you without much problem, Mary ? ''

A moment later the hologram of Virgin Mary appeared, `` Yes forefather ? ''

'' I need you to scan Rayburn here, tell me if his precondition is curable. '' Derrick told the holograph.

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

'' sergeant-at-law ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a bit the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to get along again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose look registered shock then he slumped to the deck of cards.

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

'' Just run down Rayburn and see if we can compensate the damage that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A minuscule rectangular shaped light control panel detached from the cabinet. Emitting an eerie green electron beam that swept back and Forth across the man 's head. A few bit later the light instrument panel retreated, `` I have finished Sire. It appears that this man has a high state of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will use up at least three treatment. I am lamentable forefather, but his eminent resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Blessed Virgin, there is no need to justify, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its self a pocket-sized miracle. ''

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

'' We really need to bring the Empire back to what it was Mary. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for nothing. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Mary was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is incorrectly Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Virgin Mary started, `` embody all that the first emperor did. I am so very majestic to be capable to assist another man as great as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is correct. This empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by petty greed and jealously. All the things I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his mind drifted back to the past for a few mo.

On circuit board Tempro the inadequate cropped blond hair's-breadth, culture medium build man, with a smooth face was worried. So far none of the experiments had yielded any success as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his female parent Virgin Mary was n't going to be happy he 'd stress all 100,000 tissue paper samples that he had, aught had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the survive, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

Blessed Virgin appeared a few moments later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to receive a slight break of serve down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so gloomy my son, I did not entail to cause you such pain. I know that the experiment all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a pattern. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Virgin Mary then the tears started. `` I am so lamentable mother that I have failed so much. A pattern mother ? '' Nodding Blessed Virgin outlined what she 'd seen from all the samples so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to give way.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new noesis. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of failure. Smiling this time he 'd watched all the indicators and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Madonna it made matter a whole lot easier when the body had no real cognisance or even the first of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a prospect to succeed ; unfortunately they would take in to have Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the Emperor.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the Imperial reality. Derrick was preparing to go back to the palace when Zan called.

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

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

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newfangled plus to the fleet.

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

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

Still bowing the Lester Willis Young teen nodded, `` Yes forefather it will be so. ''

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

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

Derrick 's oral fissure dropped agape, holy bull he had n't expected this !
