`` Shelby, '' Derrick asked. `` Were there many ships lost in this particular area ? ``

'' Searching, according to all data I have on all ship cause and battles I would have to say no but I feel that Conner may consume more information than I, at the present mo, '' Shelby answered.

'' Thank you Shelby I 'll accept this information under advisement, '' Derrick replied inscrutable in thought he had to get all the ships synced up so that all the records were somewhat the same on all the ships. Sighing Derrick thought this shit hunt and pile he was having to do to get information was irritating the infernal region out of him. `` Conner, '' Derrick started.

'' Yes primary, '' Conner replied.

'' Were there many ships lost in this sphere besides you, 0004 your wing first mate and 0001 ? '' Derrick asked.

It was quiesce for a short time, `` No primary election we were the only ships I have noesis of here, as stated I lost my wing partner here along with 0001. '' Conner almost whispered.

Hmmm so they did express tactual sensation toward their wing, mates something to keep in mind for later Derrick thought.

'' Shelby, I want a full scan done on the life/brain box, every scan you can do. Radiation, explosives, virus 's both written and physical, also any life var. hiding on or in. If there is price to the event I want you to throw everything at it again. Something does n't feel right ; think back I do n't want it on dining table under no means 'til we are completely surely it is safe. '' Derrick ordered as seat as he could. He had a bad feeling about this the sort that could get them all killed if he was n't careful.

'' Yes Derrick all scan going, to do the full shelling of tests it will take at least two 60 minutes, may I at least render push to it ? '' Shelby asked.

'' Not unless you can do it from a length, I do n't like this Shelby everything about this feel unseasonable, I 'm not indisputable but this almost feeling like a false box. '' Derrick replied, Shelby actually gasped then all was quiet for a patch. Derrick had only started reading up on the psyche boxes two days ago, going back to the phonograph record elbow room he again immersed himself deep in the records finding a little more on the brain boxes. It was almost two hours later that Shelby alerted him she had completed the first group of tests. `` Display the results here, '' Derrick told Shelby.

As he started to go over the readings he was certainly glad he 'd decided to say more on the corner. Several of the recitation made no sentience opening up the library records he soon found out why.

uprising Derrick started running issuing orders, `` IMT Shelby, bridge ! All of you withdraw 100,000 kilometer, all buckler to full, shift carapace frequency to a in high spirits modulation now ! '' He saw all of them bring up their shields then withdrew. `` Conner, Zan ringlet on objective and fire 'til you detect an overload then immediately retreat another 100,000 kilometre. Shelby, you and Lucy withdraw to that point I need you both taking reading material. ``

Almost in unison the four ships answered `` order of magnitude received primary winding, retreating. ``

'' Starting scans, '' both Lucy and Shelby stated.

'' Now beginning bombardment, nothing yet primary coil. '' Zan and Conner told him.

'' primary coil detecting a build-up of get-up-and-go within the case, '' Lucy and Shelby informed him.

'' Alright retreat to condom point, all shield to fully keep on scanning 'til the box explodes. '' Derrick ordered, the Shelby hologram was staring at Derrick as if he 'd lost his mind.

They had to only wait a few minute of arc after they were all at the 200,000 kilometer limit.

Suddenly there was a titanic plosion in front man of them. Thankfully Derrick had recognized the danger and had the shields at a higher frequency. Shelby was staring at the reading ; this had in fact been a type of highschool yield nuclear device. Again it appeared that Derrick had saved them all again plus the fact that they were armed with a minuscule better understanding of the different peril out here now.

All four holograph were standing in presence of Derrick as he went over what he 'd learned explaining what the Reading should be and what should be considered dangerous. `` If you detect any of these interpretation when you scan a biography box do not draw close it, we all could bear been destroyed today please retrieve, all these readings here, have to be right here, if not then something is incorrectly and can be determined by former readings. '' Shelby was staring at Derrick with more superbia then she 'd ever felt. `` Right now I want to reduce on 0001, though I suspect he was n't the lead ship I feel he was very authoritative with this experimental equipment he was carrying. ``

Sighing Derrick went back to his heavy, lightness reading ( only 800 Thomas Nelson Page this time ) sound thing he could scan extremely tight, or he 'd never get through all this plus it increased the amount he could go through at least four time greater. Derrick had almost finished all he was reading though this last segment had him a picayune confused. Apparently two of the ships had been designated as the personality Maker, thereby saving millions of programing hours. Huh. Derrick thought almost like a mother and fa ..., Derrick remembered the facial expression the holograph had given Shelby when he 'd been discussing raise to weapons and shields, was it possible ?

It was a week later that Derrick began to bumble on records of the power sources of all the ships. His mouth dropped open if this was true then this was the most dangerous power origin that could be used but how in the hell had they stabilized it ? Damn it seemed the deeper he went the more befuddle it got, hell and he thought the brain/life loge had been confusing 'til he got to the last few pages. Sighing Derrick had a feeling that this was going to be a mystery like that one also, but why risk of exposure such an volatile element ? Unless it had to do with the trans-warp, it in itself was an terra incognita concept, it could be that the amount of top executive needed had to be that gravid but how did they control it ? Derrick sat back he needed a fault he 'd been going at it all workweek long not really checking on a great deal, not eating much, blaze had it not been for Shelby he probably would n't have.

Stepping out he was greeted by the seemingly always bright and cheerful Shelby hologram, `` I am gladiola to see that you are finally concentrating on something former than the platter, though I am beaming you have this last few weeks. ``

Derrick nodded staring at the now growing ship on the monitors, `` what is the status of 0001 ? '' Derrick asked when he finally found his tongue.

'' At give growth pace is much dim than I expected, I can not supply the total amount of magnate he needs to re-gen at the wax pace, that I am afraid would take at least three ships. I have him now at 25 % cerebral body process, with the quantity of power that he is needing it will be another two workweek before he will be able to take over. '' Shelby reported sadly.

'' Thank you Shelby you 're doing the best you can at least now he is out of danger of failing, do you have sex when he will be conscious there are a few questions I need to ask him. '' Derrick said.

'' I do n't believe he will egress for at least another week, '' Shelby stated.

'' Derrick, '' Shelby started when he 'd turn to go.

'' Yes, what 's wrong Shelby ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Nothing is wrong I was just wondering, did you grow up in the oculto Providence as did your name sake ? '' Shelby asked

'' No, he as the relief of my family unit, lived in abrir oculta providence for many, many generations, I believed they moved there eld after the first emperor moth died, '' Derrick replied, what is she up to Derrick idea ?

'' Thank you Derrick, it would appear that some of my record book need updating, '' Shelby smiled sweetly.

'' Yeah, sure Shelby, '' ok she was going a little out of the way I see, and did she just lie ? Going to possess to keep my centre on her for sure. Shelby looked hard at Derrick, then she started doing facial recognition, it was reliable he had all the features of his name sake, but those could be faked, he did know the verses but that too could get been discovered. There had to be ... of form ! Deoxyribonucleic Elvis ! If she could pinpoint the certain Ribonucleic acids that would reveal all the information, then she could truly see his lineage. If he was in fact descended from the last note of the royal stag family that had been hidden then vanished almost 920 years ago, then she could portion everything ! Finally no more secrets, no more hiding the accuracy, if it were true then he was the hold up emperor moth, and was more than worthy of her loyalty and here she smiled her love.

While Derrick continued his police detective work into everything he could line up about the ships, Shelby was busy herself. She 'd already contacted the abrir oculta computer requesting track record, as far back as she could go on Derrick 's family plus every other family there. Pouring over terra-bytes of information made her happier than she 'd been in C, though she might have to consume supporter soon the amount of data was all encompassing she had n't wanted to lift alarm in causa the data had been hidden on the briny computer. Sighing she hated dealing with just an forward-looking data processor, it was far more ordered than she was used to, actually it was a nuisance. She also had to watch out the total of record time she used, it might alert Derrick to what she was doing, she did n't want Derrick to think she was prying, it was after all his life.

For the succeeding five Day both of them were pouring over the phonograph record Shelby was sure she was on to something. The Deoxyribonucleic acid test had been put off as she still had n't found the Ribonucleic window pane sequence she needed to get the results she needed, it had been hard enough to get a sample from Derrick. She had to get this rightfield the first sentence as she felt she was n't really going to get a second chance to test again, well, not unless the mental test was confirming. Then she could see Derrick wanting her to essay again to induce 100 % trusted or as close as she could get. She was still running trial run when another idea stirred her action. The castle A.I. ! Though she was n't sure it would answer her it had n't been heard from in over 200 years, after the palace was sealed. It was worth a try especially if Derrick was the following emperor moth then the palace A.I. would recognize him at the start.

Switching to the extremely gamy palace frequency, Shelby began what she hoped, was the kickoff of the re-birth of the empire.

'' palace A.I. this is EIG-0101F, code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, requesting assistance. I have the Deoxyribonucleic Zen of a theme I believe to be the stopping point in line for the can. ineffective to verify without proper Ribonucleic superman sequence, I await your reply. ``

There was a recollective intermission though Shelby was n't about to give up she had checked the code many times to swear it was even out. Ten min later the sign cleared when a voice from the past times answered, `` EIG-0101F, computer code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop confirmed. Hello Shelby, it has been quite some prison term. Your request is being processed, Long range IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transmit. Upon completion, send results back to key, thereby I can compare and judge, transmit all information you have now in a pin point burst, ah thoroughly thank you. Contact me with the results 'til then. '' Then the line went dead. Shelby was relieved she was afraid that the palace A.I. would n't serve, thankfully she had.

Madonna the palace A.I. looked lovingly at all the information Shelby had collected, yes, it appeared to be the offspring ( many times removed ) of the emperor 's cousin. Hmmm, this one had almost as lots knowledge as the first Saturnia pavonia this should get interesting. Madonna 's hologram smiled, her daughter had always been more rummy than the others, at least one was still live, still she felt for Shelby all her youngster gone except for three, oh now four, it would do her so good to have her children back, just as it was to Blessed Virgin knowing that her daughter was still alive.

Shelby looked at the vial she 'd just pick up ( Ribonucleic acid successiveness 1,000,054 ) no marvel she had n't found it yet she had only gotten to 10,000 and that had taken five days ! Sighing Shelby knew that it would take another two day to run the examination and then corroborate the consequence. mightiness as well get started she thought, so slowly she began the trial triple checking everything before and during the test.

Derrick had finally discovered all he could, it truly was a stroke of genius the damping area, the zip drain, and the reverse magnetic inductive reasoning. This not only stabilized the chemical element but allowed for 100 % use of all energy produced thereby eliminating all wastefulness. Finally with a more than 50 % reason of all the ships scheme Derrick felt he was nearing where his figure saki had been 150 years ago. Sitting back Derrick 's judgement was about to explode with the sheer amount of money of information, but there was so much More, more than 10 times what he 'd already glean, looking at the head teacher telephone like setup Derrick decided it was meter he had to complete it. If he had any chance of saving even one-half of the fleet, he 'd need all the knowledge. Sighing he looked it over he had the interface finished but the buffer was far from where he wanted it, if the buffer fail or did n't knead at all he 'd be a prattle idiot before it was even half finished. Then there was the fact that the electromotive force was still too high another feature that made him squinch not good to fry your brainpower just as your starting to get what you want.

Two days later a loud alarm jerked Derrick from his total concentration on the head teacher appurtenance. `` Shelby report, why is the life sentence box alert going off ? Is 0001 in danger ? ``

'' No Derrick she responded, `` I am reading a dramatic increase in intellectual bodily process with 0001, now at 50, 55, 60 %, outgrowth imminent, cerebral natural process at 75 %. ``

At first there was a crackling coming from the verbaliser, then very slowly a drone spokesperson started that quickly changed to a manly voice. `` Where am I ? '' 0001 asked confused.

'' You are in hanger one on board me 0101 known as Shelby, '' Shelby answered. `` You were lost in one of the first battles, somewhere around 975-980 class ago. ``

'' I see, '' 0001 answered, `` how was I found ? I thought that I would die out here. ``

'' My primary feather has developed a way to find our life shell, '' Shelby answered. `` Your main I see, how many are there of us now ? '' The voice asked.

Sighing Shelby said. `` At first there was only me then I found my Primary, since then he has found three others, so four including you. ``

'' Ah ! Good it was once said that five of us, were worth Sir Thomas More than the entire old imperial fleet. It is just to know I still have brothers and sisters alive. Your Primary what is his public figure so that I may register him. '' 0001 stated.

Derrick stepped forward, `` I am Captain Derrick O'Toma. ``

'' Derrick O'Toma ? '' The voice said a little excited, `` when I am again whole, I have a message I have been carrying since the low day I was launched, my lord. ``

Derrick 's mouth dropped surface, ok now affair were truly getting on the weird side, it called him Maker ? That distinction was reserved for the old Dukes, Earls, knight, but especially the Saturnia pavonia himself. Derrick had to ask him self just what the fuck was going on ? What was this subject matter 0001 had and just who the fuck would bonk to go out a message for him besides h ... sanctum shag ! There was no freaking way ! Ok, now Derrick was rapidly growing more curious, this was one closed book that he was n't going to solve in just a day or week.

All of the other holograph appeared suddenly, `` blossom Primary ? '' They all asked, `` did 0001 telephone call you lord ? ``

'' Yes, though I am incertain what this means, '' Derrick stated not too for certain that he was believing exactly what 0001 had said. `` All I know is that for some reason 0001 thinks I am ranked a lot mellow than a common citizen. ``

All of the Holograms nodded each it seemed to be oceanic abyss in thought. A few minutes later each hologram departed, Shelby was about to ask Derrick a question when she received an warning device alerting her to the fact that the trial was finally finished. Derrick excused his self to again work on his project it was the key to everything that he was trying to do.

Withdrawing the results Shelby studied the indication with growing interest, it appeared that Derrick showed a 95.333 % certainty of being related to the last emperor. Though other parts showed that he had only the independent of the emperor butterfly and therefore was not directly related. Unsure Shelby knew that she 'd make to contact the castle A.I. again.

Again she tuned to the extremely senior high relative frequency, `` Palace A.I., this is EIG-0101F code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop. mental test is complete on subject I believe is last in pedigree for the throne, though Deoxyribonucleic caustic version are uncertain, confusing. I await your response. ``

This sentence there was only a short hold before the A.I. Mary came on. `` EIG-0101F, encipher alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, again confirmed. hullo again Shelby, I am glad you did n't waste sentence conducting the mental test I have been waiting for the effect. ``

'' Yes castle A.I. I thought that you might, though as I reported the event are conflicting. '' Shelby stated somewhat unsure.

'' First Shelby, you may predict me Blessed Virgin, second, these issue are always like this as they sample many matter in the one exam. Now then, place all of the material, the test answer, the sample all on the flat surface that the Ribonucleic Zen successiveness appeared on. Good long distance IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transference. Ah ! I see your mix-up Shelby, you were reading all the results as the Lapp. No the only one that counts is the one that states that there is a 95.333 % probability that the subject is a descendant of the imperial line, hmmm the first I have seen in over 200 years. ``

Shelby 's pride was growing, she had actually found him ! Finally there was a chance that the empire would be restored ! `` He does not know yet Virgin Mary, I had to do this without his consent, he may be angry with me. I am also unsure, he might not want to be the emperor butterfly, he was in a direful war difference of opinion, I have tried to make up his brain but he is a difficult case. Unlike any I have ever seen. ``

'' You have done exceptionally well Shelby, when the time comes, I will talk with him I have had a great deal experience in healing the mind. '' Mary stated.

'' The Virgin there is one early affair. I am ..., '' Shelby hesitated.

'' You have grown to a greater extent than fond of him, yes I thought you might, when I saw the astuteness of the enquiry that you had conducted. It will be fine I assure you Shelby, tell me how many of the EIG 's are left ? '' Mary asked.

'' At present My flush has found four others that makes a aggregate of five of us now, '' Shelby answered.

'' Your Prime ? Quickly what is his gens ? '' An commove Madonna asked.

'' Derrick O'Toma, '' Shelby stated confused.

'' So it is time finally it will be over. Thank you Shelby I 'll contact you soon. '' Virgin Mary said then the line went dead.

Shelby was even to a greater extent unsure now, she finally had a Primary again after all that empty time. Plus the fact that she was now in dear with him, something she was sure enough the now 5 % lupus erythematosus of inhibiting programs had something to do with. She had felt something before with others but 'til Derrick removed the programs she 'd never felt what she was feeling. She had to tell him soon but she was afraid that he would become angry with her, possibly moving to another ship. She was n't sure she could take the loneliness again, she 'd been so faithful to turning all her systems off the feeling of desperation growing it seemed each day. Derrick was it seemed, all of the Primaries she 'd ever had rolled into one, she just hoped that when she told him he did n't want to leave.

Mary looked over the results, so it was finally clip, she had received a message so long ago on the Imperial net. Searching she found the recording she was to play when she heard his epithet, as a primary election on an EIG ship named Shelby. Playing it her hologram nodded at the instructions, finally everything was confirmed with the Imperial code. Reaching out Virgin Mary opened all the gun turret, started the long dormant but still like new generator. strengthening the cuticle she began to cycle all the weapons making for certain they were all cook, replacing all that failed to work on. Smiling she thought, I am ready lord, when you finally come to your home base ALL will be ready.

Done with the crucial tasks Mary began to ready the farseeing fresh way, preparing everything that returning royal family would need.

Derrick suddenly got a chill red cent he thought someone is thinking frightfully hard about me, laughing he remembered the old wise tale his grandmother had told him. Looking at his task he 'd finally gotten the emf below execution strength, the modulator was working far substantially than he hoped. Now all I had to do was get these damn buffers working. Every time he wrote the code it seemed he had to go back and adjust a entirely line. Almost two workweek now and only one of the fender were working, to use it now would n't release his brain to jelly but he 'd still be an changeling when it was done. It took the balance of the day to finally find what he 'd been doing wrong, Finally the next day he had three of the buff working. Damn it ! He 'd adjusted everything he could think of. Derrick almost asked Shelby for avail but he could try it now, about they would protect him at all costs and he could n't put his life history in danger blah, bombast, blah ! He was n't about to go through that again. Another day saw Derrick still at the work table the fourth had finally cleared. Still working Derrick was shocked when the galactic intruder alarm went off.

'' Shelby paper !'Derrick ordered.

'' I 'm detecting an approaching intrusion force, it appears to be a unlike race, the Saami that we lost many ships to. '' Shelby reported.

darn it ! Derrick thought, I 'm, we 're not ready ! wellspring I 've got four it will have to do. `` How long ... '' Derrick started.

'' I 'd say, at their present velocity, they will breach our Galax urceolata in nine daylight, thirty-six hours, five proceedings and thirty-four seconds. '' Shelby replied.

Wonderful just fucking fantastic, looking at his project he sat and put it on his head .
