Lost Empire 20 ( 0 )
Derrick was n't felicitous, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this gaudery and shite was starting to tire out really thin on his patience. He 'd just released part of the shell around the palace but was n't set to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many terror out there to let his guard down yet. Mary on the other hand was thrilled to no ends to have human being 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 hr later, `` What did your dictation say about all the proof that we provided them ? ''
'' That 's the matter, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed most of it, they told me to maintain radio blackout. I guess they are also afraid that command has been inundated with spies. I had always thought that control was the one place that would n't ingest undercover agent, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` guess I was faulty. ''
'' I was afraid of that ; these bastards have had quite a bit of time to infiltrate the ranks. I had Mary relay a message to the top officers about the test that we have designed. I 'll let them be intimate the results as soon as we test it out on that one crew fellow member. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this test 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 control panel, though the thinking of losing a crew 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 loss a moment, `` Hmm, '' he said then an estimate started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an idea, first we 'll make for her here then ... ''
1st specialist Ensign Callie stared at the huge room that she was in. What a terminated waste of blank space and money she thought walking around the throne room. Shaking her head she did n't even experience why she 'd been picked for this assignment ; she was a technical school specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the fanny full admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with arenaceous blond fuzz and blue brown eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.
Stopping suddenly she reached into her sac to hold indisputable that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a check gait now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally give thanks 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 rule ! '' Then to her horror the beam of the weapon passed through the emperor butterfly striking the ground where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the soil the surprise still on her face.
Derrick appeared a moment later, `` Take her to the interrogation way I 'll be there in a few minutes, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to memorialise all of this. '' There was a flourish of action while the youth fair sex was transported to the said room. Derrick watched as Virgin Mary attached several restraints and began scanning the cleaning woman looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scans had found nothing, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to incur all manner of hidden weapons, poisons, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his capitulum Derrick saw that several more CAT scan that he 'd added to Mary 's repertoire of tests still had n't been used. Again as Mary started over Derrick 's eyes grew wider as the enshroud arsenal began to steadily grow.
A few hour later Derrick nodded when the last of the hidden arm were taken off. Shaking his head Derrick knew he had his oeuvre cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to come along across the room minute later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injection. With a groan the vernal fair sex 's center fluttered undecided.
'' Rear admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled question.
'' fountainhead you tried to assassinate the emperor butterfly, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to extinguish the emperor moth. '' Hartwell told her a slight growl to his vocalisation. Derrick smiled then nodded to Blessed Virgin who started an odd leafy vegetable beam on the woman 's head.
At first zilch happened then the woman 's typeface twisted into a sadistic grinning. A different voice soon erupted from her back talk. `` So your pathetic, ancient tech detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. Hello you mechanical kick ! '' The voice shouted at Mary. `` I know that goose egg will phase you, at least not 'til she is dead. ''
'' As you suspected father, the curriculum would have had me administer a deadly amount of radiation. All grade are incessant, you may proceed my lord. '' Mary told Derrick a moment later.
'' HA ! Enjoy your little 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 face twisted into rage. `` You will find out nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your storey of ... ''
'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will answer me now or bear pain 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 spokesperson coming from the young cleaning lady.
'' You would n't defy, 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 large arm came out of the wall with a set of ancient earphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the fair sex 's question.
The voice began to laugh, `` You have n't the moxie to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Mary, as the flow began to flux through the equipment an eerie scream began to write out from the cleaning lady 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''
smile Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're dead any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''
The woman '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 somebody core. Well in a way all the annoyance that you feel in death will. well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the woman 's hand produced another arm and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so slapdash, alright Mary no more. ''
Mary nodded with a little grinning on her lips as current again flowed through the equipment. This meter the articulation screamed even gimcrack for a few minutes then was gone, Callie 's body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; sin of a way to startle a sovereignty as emperor moth 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 let much clip. I will expose all that I retrieve as soon as the cognitive operation is finished. '' Blessed Virgin told Derrick with a small-scale smile on her human face.
Pulling a small blue saucer from a protector in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby time slot. `` Virgin Mary platform rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, iota, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes sire I am ... father ? Is this the ending 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 yr. The remainder of the broadcast will reach my core in another 10 year. Considering that you came up with another 12 pct in only calendar month, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' Large tears were falling from The Virgin 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this unit a chance to subsist again. '' Here Mary bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his oral sex in frustration.
'' The Virgin is there any way that we can set her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a amercement police officer and I 'd detest for the Texas Ranger to drop off her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few consequence later as he looked down on the young woman.
'' I believe that the programme you were working on earlier just might run, though I could go in and strengthen her thinker. I am afraid that it would take a few days though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.
'' Here Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the console and started typing at blinding amphetamine again. Those in the room backed up a considerable aloofness as they all watched Derrick with exposed lip. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really zip new to him.
A few hour later Derrick stepped back waiting for The Virgin to take in all that he 'd just added. `` Yes father, '' came Mary 's reply as she started to contain all of the new curriculum Derrick had just written. `` Going over all CAT scan now, I am picking up anomalous muscularity recitation right before the arm was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can boost her mind to the tip that she can resist them without trying. Though I must monish forefather, 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 agent were ever caught ? Stepping back to the console Derrick started to type for several here and now then stepped back. `` I think that might help to hide it, not the best but I think it will work. At least 'til it 's too late for the soul source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''
Blessed Virgin was looking over the new data that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an actual 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 ease of the empire to settle in railway line.
1st specialist Ensign Callie awoke an hour later with an enormous headache. Trying to rebel off the diffused cot ... no hold she was in a bed ? ! What in the underworld was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her school principal feeling as if the human race was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an older looking womanhood with grey hair watching her.
'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a moment later.
'' I am The Virgin ; I am the palace A.I. or rather a holographic representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the woman sweetly.
'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the can way then I saw the Emperor. I felt such rage then an almost giddiness at the thought of killing him then zippo 'til I awoke here. What in the snake pit is going on ? '' The wide eyed and almost terrified woman said. She 'd recollect the execution and was afraid that she was side by side in line for the Saame.
'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the sects. One religious sect that wishes to move out the emperor butterfly before he can enact laws to rid the galaxy of them. '' Mary told the now shaking char.
'' What is to go of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what penalization will I confront ? '' The shaking woman asked having backed into a recess truly afraid that she 'd never again see the Inner Light of day.
'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the emperor explain. '' Virgin Mary told the woman.
A moment later a hologram of the same tall, sandy blond hair and dark brown eyeball man she 'd seen before appeared. `` hi Callie, I am emperor Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a mission that I think you would be extremely interest in. ''
'' Me ? Why me ? I am nothing a nonentity. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''
'' A holograph ? '' A wide smiling Derrick finished for her causing her mouth to leave out subject. `` confessedly due to ... uh lot and several hundred protocol, I can not be there at this moment but entrust me this is interactive. You see you are a holograph to me also. '' Callie was only pendulous, her wonderment at the hologram grabbing almost all her attention.
'' Anyway we have a missionary station that I feel will send a content to the sects. I will not send you without your consent but they will find you and try to extract what they put in your head. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an time of day to ensure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is nothing to call for out they will obliterate you. So young lady are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok rest and we 'll peach later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.
'' Are you in need of a meal ? '' Virgin Mary asked, `` We have a very OK chef who can make whatever you request to get your metier back. ''
Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the holograph DID say that she could have whatever she wanted.
Derrick sat a moment thought of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Mary I am going to the fleet it is almost sentence for the next ship 's emergence. '' Blessed Virgin nodded and sighed it was going to be a full moon time job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist joint, `` prison term to emergence ? ''
'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few minute Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.
'' Alright IMT, '' within s Derrick was on the nosepiece. All the embark hologram 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 defend her far better than any former. ''
'' I thank you Sire I will do the adept 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 purity. '' Conner replied bowing low.
'' Tempro I need you to stay here and allow for support for Zan only if it is necessary. '' Derrick ordered.
'' Yes father, I will endeavor to avail protect them both if essential. '' Tempro said proud and bowing.
'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinate to Conner. ''
'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the familiar fart up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the Galax urceolata. Shaking her top dog she knew she was in for a truly epic reign by Derrick O'Toma.
Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a galactic rim organisation. `` Shelby can you observe any life out here ? '' Derrick asked her.
'' Beginning scan now, the tierce and stopping point earth of this scheme has an area I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few mo later. `` Switching Energy now, I am getting indication though something is starting to modulate the shields. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A mo later a fire hit the shields effectively rocking the ship.
'' Shelby, Conner, damage report card ! '' Derrick yelled.
'' No damage, no direct hit sire, '' Conner told him.
'' No structural legal injury, the blast had deficient energy to do any damage. '' 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 efficient warning to say the least Derrick, orders on how to proceed ? ''
Derrick looked at the meter reading a moment then replied, `` Open a TV channel Shelby let me talk to who is down there, maybe we can give a piddling monition of our own. ''
Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All ready Derrick. ''
'' To the unknown assaulter, this is emperor moth O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a higher-ranking force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.
Suddenly Derrick talking to was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to move on, this is restricted place and I will use deadly force play to defend 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 promontory as you used to be huh ? ''
'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that last ? Could avow you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock onto Rayburn the instant he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a second later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that execrable word ... Ray..b. What the Hades is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the command chair. `` commander ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still awake ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a ferocious hug. `` Damn it sir ! We were all told that you were utter ! ''
Shelby appeared a here and now later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a massive body-build up of vigour from his residence I am afraid that it will go vital if no legal action is taken. ''
Rayburn 's oral cavity dropped open as he walked around the hologram of Shelby, `` My god a ejection within a ego contained organization of a third-dimensional image ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''
Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the finale one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our stream problem ? ''
'' Can you effect a shutdown of the scheme ? '' Derrick asked her.
'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will cause a monolithic power feedback destroying half of the satellite. Just decrease the input exponent to the 5 fundamental nodes ; that should render the system in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.
'' Thank you sir I would have discovered that fact 2.3 seconds too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.
'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically arrant, cybernetic advanced artificial intelligence. '' Rayburn fell to his articulatio genus, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like stay here for an pass period of time of clock time ? At to the lowest degree 'til I expire ? ''
Laughing Derrick patted the man on the spinal column, `` I felt quite the Sami way Rayburn, though I must caution against trying to pry too far. ''
'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the holograph of Shelby.
'' They do n't like anyone probing too far in their memory circuits they can render quite a awful seismic disturbance. '' Derrick told the man with a grin. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.
'' Are you sure you are air force 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 homo cyber download station, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his head teacher mumbling to his self. `` Seven cowcatcher yes, synchronise capacitors, overload drain good, dependable. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no backup in event of primary failure ! You are one lucky son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could let cut out and took you with it ! ``
Derrick was startled a moment then began to smile, damn he was gladiolus that Rayburn was on board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.
'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I consider on you ? I need a trouble shooter like you in the new Empire. ''
Rayburn stared at Derrick for the long clip then tears began to slowly declination from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a backbreaking time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have 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 PTSD it is n't alike what almost have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can become extremely violent, are you really sure sir ? ''
Derrick had been smiling the whole time, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the trouble he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell hollow. We got him out and he, for beneficial choice of lyric is a hell of a lot better. I think we can help you without much problem, The Virgin ? ''
A moment later the hologram of Mary appeared, `` Yes father ? ''
'' I need you to scan Rayburn here, tell me if his shape is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.
Rayburn 's mouth dropped receptive, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not potential. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipe Derrick had been using a few Day before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.
'' police sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a here and now the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to advance again. Suddenly a watercourse of electricity hit the man whose typeface registered shock then he slumped to the deck.
'' Really, your lordship you have to stop putting yourself in these site ! '' Mary told Derrick shaking her finger's breadth at him as if she would a small fry. `` sire it is extremely unmanageable to protect you if you are out here so a good deal. ''
'' Just scan Rayburn and see if we can repair the damage that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.
A small rectangular shaped lighter panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie fleeceable electron beam that swept back and forth across the man 's brain. A few minutes later the light panel retreated, `` I have finished Sire. It appears that this man has a mellow country of resistance to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will take at least three treatments. I am bad Sire, but his mellow impedance requires that I go slower. ''
Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Blessed Virgin, there is no need to apologise, 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 make been lost over the centuries that the Empire has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to gauge his chemical reaction.
'' We really demand to wreak the empire back to what it was Mary. We have to or everything that all the emperors worked for will be for zilch. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that Mary was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is wrong Mary ? ''
'' You, '' Madonna started, `` embody all that the first Saturnia pavonia did. I am so very proud to be able-bodied to serve another man as nifty as he was Sire. ''
'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right wing. This imperium 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 creative thinker drifted back to the past for a few minutes.
On board Tempro the short cropped blonde hair's-breadth, medium build man, with a smooth expression was worried. So far none of the experimentation had yielded any success as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his mother Madonna was n't going to be happy he 'd try on all 100,000 tissue sampling that he had, zilch had worked. They had all failed each almost as atrocious as the last, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.
Mary appeared a few minute later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a cold-shoulder falling out down in his programming. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not imply to have you such pain. I know that the experiments all failed but I have gone over all the information and I think I am beginning to see a pattern. ''
Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embracement of Madonna then the rip started. `` I am so deplorable mother that I have failed so a lot. A pattern female parent ? '' Nodding 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 cognition. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of unsuccessful person. Smiling this time he 'd watch all the index and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Blessed Virgin it made thing a all lot loose when the body had no real consciousness or even the origin of a personality. Smiling Mary figured now maybe they had a chance to succeed ; unfortunately they would have to ingest Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the Emperor.
Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the imperial beard world. 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 make love my wing mate is ready. '' Zan told Derrick excited.
'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest addition to the fleet.
'' Yes Sire, '' A young, slender, long straight brown haired teen appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course of study 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 if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the epithet that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new holograph.
Still bowing the Loretta Young teen nodded, `` Yes father it will be so. ''
'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled please that this was going as well as it was.
Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry father. ''
Derrick 's sass dropped agape, holy crap he had n't expected this !
