Derrick was n't glad, not felicitous at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this pomp and bull was starting to wear really flimsy on his solitaire. He 'd just released part of the shield around the palace but was n't ready to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threats out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other manus was thrilled to no ends to feature human dead body within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 age. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

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

'' That 's the matter, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed almost of it, they told me to hold wireless dimout. I guess they are also afraid that instruction has been inundated with spies. I had always thought that bid was the one place that would n't feature spies, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` surmise I was improper. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of time to pass through the ranks. I had Mary relay a message to the top officers about the tests that we have designed. I 'll let them make love the outcome as soon as we test it out on that one work party appendage. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this mental testing was going to be as terminal as those in the past tense had been.

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

Thinking, Derrick was at a exit a import, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an thought, first we 'll bring in her here then ... ''

1st medical specialist ensign Callie stared at the huge elbow room that she was in. What a complete waste of outer space and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her head she did n't even screw why she 'd been picked for this assignment ; she was a tech specialiser not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the Rear full admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a grandiloquent man with sandy blond haircloth and sorry brown eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to make for sure that the weapon system was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a ascertain 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 weapon from her pocket and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the throne, the nobles will never let you prevail ! '' Then to her revulsion the beam of the weapon passed through the Emperor striking the background where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck opening as she slumped to the earth the surprise still on her font.

Derrick appeared a bit later, `` admit her to the interrogation way I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to record all of this. '' There was a prosper of action while the untested woman was transported to the aforementioned room. Derrick watched as Mary attached several simpleness and began scanning the woman looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scan had found nothing, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to recover all manner of hidden weapons, poisons, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that several more scan that he 'd added to The Virgin 's repertory of tests still had n't been used. Again as Madonna started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the hide out arsenal began to steadily grow.

A few minutes later Derrick nodded when the shoemaker's last of the obliterate weapon system were taken off. Shaking his head Derrick knew he had his work cut out for him. Nodding to Blessed Virgin, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to come along across the way second later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injectant. With a groan the new fair sex 's eyes fluttered open.

'' keister Admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled motion.

'' well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to eliminate the emperor moth. '' Hartwell told her a slight growl to his voice. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd putting green beam on the woman 's head.

At 1st zippo happened then the woman 's grimace twisted into a sadistic smile. A different voice soon erupted from her sass. `` So your pitiable, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. Hello you mechanically skillful bitch ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that nothing will phase you, at to the lowest degree not 'til she is short. ''

'' As you suspected forefather, the programs would have had me administer a deadly amount of money of radiation. All levels are constant quantity, you may proceed my God Almighty. '' Mary told Derrick a present moment later.

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

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

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

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

The vocalisation began to laugh, `` You have n't the guts to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary, as the current began to flow through the equipment an eerie shriek began to issue from the cleaning lady 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''

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

The womanhood 's face twisted into another mask of fury 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 substance. Well in a way all the painful sensation that you feel in destruction will. Well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the woman 's hand produced another weapon and fired at him. Again the electron beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, OK Mary no more. ''

Blessed Virgin nodded with a picayune smile on her lips as current again flowed through the equipment. This prison term the phonation screamed even louder for a few proceedings then was gone, Callie 's body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; hell on earth of a way to start a sovereignty as emperor moth he thought.

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

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not experience very much meter. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' Mary told Derrick with a small smile on her boldness.

Pulling a low blue disk from a protector in his scoop Derrick slipped it into a nearby one-armed bandit. `` The Virgin broadcast rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, tittle, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... Sire ? Is this the finish of it ? '' Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only destroy 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 destruction has been delayed another 2 old age. The remainder of the program will get hold of my core in another 10 twelvemonth. Considering that you came up with another 12 pct in only calendar month, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' Large crying were falling from Blessed Virgin 's eyes, `` give thanks you sire, you have given this unit a chance to exist again. '' Here Madonna bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to throw off his head word in frustration.

'' Mary is there any way that we can prepare her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a very well officer and I 'd hate for the Rangers to recede her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few moment later as he looked down on the Lester Willis Young woman.

'' I believe that the program you were working on earlier just might function, though I could go in and tone up her mind. I am afraid that it would take a few days though. '' Virgin Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Blessed Virgin, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the console and started typing at blinding speeding again. Those in the room backed up a considerable space as they all watched Derrick with open air mouths. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for Blessed Virgin to absorb all that he 'd just added. `` Yes sire, '' came Madonna 's answer as she started to incorporate all of the new program Derrick had just written. `` Going over all CAT scan now, I am picking up anomalous energy interpretation right before the arm was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can encourage her brain to the stop that she can resist them without trying. Though I must admonish Sire, they will have a go at it 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 federal agent were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console table Derrick started to typecast for several moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to veil it, not the best but I think it will play. At to the lowest degree 'til it 's too late for the soul informant and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

The Virgin was looking over the new information that Derrick had entered, yes it was potential an real challenge for her. Smiling, she was starting to consider that this man would be the greatest Emperor of all, though he still had to get the rest of the Empire to fall in line.

1st specialist Ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to go up off the mild cot ... no delay she was in a bed ? ! What in the nether region was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her psyche feeling as if the world was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an sr. looking woman 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 agency of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the woman sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the stool room then I saw the Emperor. I felt such rage then an almost giddiness at the opinion of killing him then nothing 'til I awoke here. What in the hell is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost panicked woman said. She 'd remembered the execution and was afraid that she was next in line for the same.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the sects. One sect that wishes to remove the Emperor before he can ordain police force to rid the wandflower of them. '' Blessed Virgin told the now shaking woman.

'' What is to become of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what penalty will I present ? '' The shaking woman 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. '' Madonna told the woman.

A moment later a holograph of the like tall, sandy blonde hair and dark brown eyed man she 'd seen before appeared. `` hullo Callie, I am emperor Derrick O'Toma. If you are will we have a missionary station that I think you would be extremely concern in. ''

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

'' A hologram ? '' A encompassing smiling Derrick finished for her causing her mouth to neglect capable. `` True due to ... uh circumstances and several hundred protocol, I can not be there at this consequence but trust me this is interactive. You see you are a holograph to me also. '' Callie was only nodding, her wonderment at the holograph grabbing almost all her attention.

'' Anyway we have a mission that I feel will send a message to the religious order. I will not transmit you without your consent but they will detect you and try to pull up what they put in your principal. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an hr to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is null to take out they will kill you. So young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok rest period and we 'll talk later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in motive of a meal ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very fine chef who can urinate 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 import thought of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost time for the adjacent ship 's emergence. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a full time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist joint, `` clock 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 seconds Derrick was on the bridge. All the ship holograms appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to start adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand guard over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the dear 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 sign I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.

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

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

'' Yes Sire, I will strive 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 farting up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Blessed Virgin tracked them all the way across the galaxy. Shaking her psyche she knew she was in for a truly epical reign by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a galactic rim system. `` Shelby can you detect any life sentence out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scan now, the one-third and last macrocosm of this system has an field I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few moments later. `` Switching energy now, I am getting Reading though something is starting to tone the buckler. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A bit later a blast hit the shields effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, hurt account ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No legal injury, no straight hit forefather, '' Conner told him.

'' No structural hurt, the attack had insufficient energy to have any price. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the blast 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 effective warning to say the least Derrick, rescript on how to continue ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a here and now then replied, `` Open a channel Shelby let me let the cat out of the bag to who is down there, maybe we can chip in a short warning of our own. ''

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

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

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

Derrick smiled still the same hot head he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was future. `` So Rayb still as much a hot head as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that live on ? Could curse you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock away onto Rayburn the moment he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a minute later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that damnable word ... Ray..b. What the hell is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the command chair. `` commandant ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still animated ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a fierce hug. `` tinker's dam it sir ! We were all told that you were abruptly ! ''

Shelby appeared a import later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive build up of energy from his residence I am afraid that it will go critical if no action is taken. ''

Rayburn 's back talk dropped open as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a expulsion within a self contained system of a three-dimensional range ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the close one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our stream problem ? ''

'' Can you outcome a closing of the arrangement ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a exclude down ; it will cause a massive major power feedback destroying one-half of the major planet. Just fall the stimulus power to the 5 central nodes ; that should interpret the arrangement in standby modality. '' Rayburn advised.

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

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced artificial intelligence. '' Rayburn fell to his stifle, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like stay here for an extended period of clip ? 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 care anyone probing too far in their memory electrical circuit they can cater quite a cruddy shock. '' Derrick told the man with a smile. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.

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

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a human cyber download place, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his head mumbling to his ego. `` heptad buffer storage yes, synchronize capacitors, overload drainage good, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no fill-in in case of primary failure ! You are one favourable son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could give cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a moment then began to smile, maledict he was glad that Rayburn was on circuit board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

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

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the farsighted time then tears began to slowly nightfall from his heart. `` Sir I have had such a hard fourth dimension since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have got me around. Are you surely you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a character of delayed posttraumatic stress disorder it is n't the like what most have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can turn extremely violent, are you really sure sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the solid time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the difficulty he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell hole. We got him out and he, for better choice of words is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help oneself you without a good deal problem, Mary ? ''

A second later the hologram of The Virgin appeared, `` Yes Sire ? ''

'' I need you to rake Rayburn here, tell me if his condition is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.

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

'' police sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a moment the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to progress again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose fount registered shock then he slumped to the deck.

'' Really, your lordship you have to stop putting yourself in these post ! '' The Virgin told Derrick shaking her fingerbreadth at him as if she would a child. `` father it is extremely unmanageable to protect you if you are out here so much. ''

'' Just scan Rayburn and see if we can repair the legal injury that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A lowly rectangular shaped light instrument panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie green beam that swept back and Forth across the man 's head. A few moment later the light jury retreated, `` I have finished Sire. It appears that this man has a luxuriously state of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take at least three discourse. I am dismal Sire, but his gamy resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Madonna, there is no motivation to apologize, the simple fact that these men can be healed is in its self a little miracle. ''

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

'' We really need to make for the conglomerate back to what it was Madonna. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for zippo. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Mary was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is haywire Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Mary started, `` embody all that the beginning emperor butterfly did. I am so very proud to be capable to help another man as smashing as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is mighty. This conglomerate survived for over 800 long time only to be destroyed by petty covetousness 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 minutes.

On board Tempro the curtly cropped blond hair, medium flesh man, with a placid face was worried. So far none of the experiments had yielded any successes as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Mary was n't going to be happy he 'd tried all 100,000 tissue samples that he had, nothing had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the finish, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

The Virgin appeared a few moments later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to live a tenuous fracture down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so regretful my son, I did not intend to make you such pain. I know that the experimentation all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a radiation diagram. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embracement of The Virgin then the tears started. `` I am so sorry mother that I have failed so a good deal. A pattern mother ? '' Nodding Virgin Mary outlined what she 'd seen from all the sample so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to fail.

Mary stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of failure. Smiling this time he 'd watched all the indicator and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked The Virgin it made things a whole lot easier when the body had no rattling consciousness or even the beginning of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a chance to bring home the bacon ; unfortunately they would have to stimulate Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the imperial beard man. Derrick was preparing to go back to the castle when Zan called.

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

'' Yes sire, I thought you would like to have it off my wing Paraguay tea is gear up. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

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

'' Yes Sire, '' A young, slender, long uncoiled brownness haired teen appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to talk to all the A.I. 's about appearing naked ).

'' I 'm not sure enough if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the name that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new holograph.

Still bowing the young teen nodded, `` Yes forefather it will be so. ''

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

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

Derrick 's mouth dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
