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

'' Searching, according to all entropy I have on all ship drift and conflict I would have to say no but I feel that Conner may have more selective information than I, at the present consequence, '' Shelby answered.

'' Thank you Shelby I 'll take this information under advisement, '' Derrick replied deep in thought he had to get all the ships synced up so that all the book were somewhat the like on all the ships. Sighing Derrick thought this tinker's damn hunt and peck he was having to do to get info was irritating the Scheol out of him. `` Conner, '' Derrick started.

'' Yes primary election, '' Conner replied.

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

It was calm for a unawares time, `` No primary quill we were the only ships I have knowledge of here, as stated I lost my annexe fellow here along with 0001. '' Conner almost whispered.

Hmmm so they did utter feelings toward their wing, mates something to keep in mind for later Derrick thought.

'' Shelby, I want a full skim done on the life/brain box, every scan you can do. radiation sickness, explosives, computer virus 's both written and physical, also any lifespan forms hiding on or in. If there is damage to the character I want you to throw everything at it again. Something does n't experience right ; commemorate I do n't want it on table under no agency 'til we are completely sure it is safe. '' Derrick ordered as stern as he could. He had a bad feeling about this the kind that could get them all killed if he was n't careful.

'' Yes Derrick all scan going, to do the full stamp battery of trial it will take at least two minute, may I at least provide zip to it ? '' Shelby asked.

'' Not unless you can do it from a space, I do n't wish this Shelby everything about this look amiss, I 'm not trusted but this almost spirit like a faithlessly box. '' Derrick replied, Shelby actually gasped then all was quiet for a spell. Derrick had only started reading up on the brain boxwood two days ago, going back to the records room he again immersed himself deep in the records finding a little more on the learning ability box seat. It was almost two hours later that Shelby alerted him she had completed the first group of test. `` Display the results here, '' Derrick told Shelby.

As he started to go over the reading material he was certainly glad he 'd decided to read more on the boxes. Several of the recital made no sense opening up the library phonograph recording he soon found out why.

Rising Derrick started running issuing orders, `` IMT Shelby, bridge ! All of you withdraw 100,000 kilometre, all shield to wide, shift shield frequency to a higher modulation now ! '' He saw all of them bring up their shield then withdrew. `` Conner, Zan ignition lock on target and fire 'til you detect an overload then immediately retreat another 100,000 kilometers. Shelby, you and Lucy withdraw to that point I need you both taking meter reading. ``

Almost in unison the four ships answered `` order received primary feather, retreating. ``

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

'' Now beginning bombardment, naught yet Primary. '' Zan and Conner told him.

'' primary feather detecting a build-up of energy within the case, '' Lucy and Shelby informed him.

'' Alright retreat to safety point, all shields to full keep scanning 'til the box explodes. '' Derrick ordered, the Shelby hologram was staring at Derrick as if he 'd recede his mind.

They had to only wait a few minutes after they were all at the 200,000 km limit.

Suddenly there was a titanic explosion in front of them. Thankfully Derrick had recognized the danger and had the shields at a mellow frequence. Shelby was staring at the recital ; this had in fact been a type of high output atomic twist. Again it appeared that Derrick had saved them all again plus the fact that they were armed with a little better understanding of the dissimilar danger out here now.

All four Holograms were standing in nominal head of Derrick as he went over what he 'd learned explaining what the reading should be and what should be considered serious. `` If you detect any of these meter reading when you scan a lifetime box do not approach it, we all could have been destroyed today please remember, all these recital here, have to be right here, if not then something is awry and can be determined by other readings. '' Shelby was staring at Derrick with more pride then she 'd ever experience. `` Right now I want to contract on 0001, though I suspect he was n't the lead ship I feel he was very of import with this experimental equipment he was carrying. ``

Sighing Derrick went back to his heavy, luminance Reading ( only 800 varlet this prison term ) good thing he could read extremely fast, or he 'd never get through all this plus it increased the amount he could go through at least four times greater. Derrick had almost finished all he was reading though this last section had him a piffling confused. Apparently two of the ships had been designated as the personality Maker, thereby saving 1000000 of programing hours. Huh. Derrick thought almost like a female parent and fa ..., Derrick remembered the looks the holograms had given Shelby when he 'd been discussing acclivity to weapons and carapace, was it possible ?

It was a workweek later that Derrick began to trip up on records of the ability reservoir of all the ships. His mouth dropped open if this was true then this was the most dangerous ability reservoir that could be used but how in the hell had they stabilized it ? Damn it seemed the deeper he went the more discombobulate it got, netherworld and he thought the brain/life boxes had been confusing 'til he got to the endure few Page. Sighing Derrick had a flavor that this was going to be a mystery like that one also, but why risk such an explosive ingredient ? Unless it had to do with the trans-warp, it in itself was an unknown concept, it could be that the amount of magnate needed had to be that gravid but how did they moderate it ? Derrick sat back he needed a break he 'd been going at it all calendar week long not really checking on often, not eating much, hell had it not been for Shelby he probably would n't have.

Stepping out he was greeted by the seemingly always bright and upbeat Shelby hologram, `` I am glad to see that you are finally concentrating on something early than the records, though I am happy you have this shoemaker's last few workweek. ``

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 present maturation charge per unit is much dense than I expected, I can not supply the total total of power he needs to re-gen at the full rate, that I am afraid would hold at least three ships. I have him now at 25 % intellectual activity, with the amount of power that he is needing it will be another two weeks before he will be able-bodied to bring over. '' Shelby reported sadly.

'' Thank you Shelby you 're doing the best you can at least now he is out of peril of failing, do you know 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 calendar week, '' Shelby stated.

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

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

'' Nothing is awry I was just wondering, did you raise up in the oculto providence as did your public figure sake ? '' Shelby asked

'' No, he as the respite of my kin, lived in abrir oculta providence for many, many contemporaries, I believed they moved there years after the first emperor moth died, '' Derrick replied, what is she up to Derrick thought ?

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

'' Yeah, surely Shelby, '' ok she was going a footling out of the way I see, and did she just lie ? Going to have to keep my eyes on her for sure. Shelby looked hard at Derrick, then she started doing facial acknowledgment, it was true he had all the features of his name sake, but those could be faked, he did get laid the verses but that too could cause been discovered. There had to be ... of course of instruction ! Deoxyribonucleic superman ! If she could pinpoint the certain Ribonucleic acids that would uncover all the selective information, then she could truly determine his lineage. If he was in fact descended from the final stage line of the royal mob that had been hidden then vanished almost 920 yr ago, then she could share everything ! Finally no more secrets, no more hiding the true statement, if it were dependable then he was the last emperor moth, and was More than worthy of her loyalty and here she smiled her love.

While Derrick continued his tec work into everything he could find about the ships, Shelby was busy herself. She 'd already contact the abrir oculta estimator requesting book, as far back as she could go on Derrick 's house plus every early family there. Pouring over terra-bytes of information made her happier than she 'd been in centuries, though she might have to let help soon the amount of information was all encompassing she had n't wanted to bring up dismay in case the data had been hidden on the main computer. Sighing she hated dealing with just an throw out computer, it was far More legitimate than she was used to, actually it was a pain in the neck. She also had to view the sum of record time she used, it might alert Derrick to what she was doing, she did n't require Derrick to think she was prying, it was after all his life.

For the side by side five day both of them were pouring over the disk Shelby was indisputable she was on to something. The Deoxyribonucleic loony toons test had been put off as she still had n't found the Ribonucleic superman sequence she needed to get the outcome she needed, it had been hard enough to get a sampling from Derrick. She had to get this right the first fourth dimension as she felt she was n't really going to get a endorse probability to test again, well, not unless the examination was irrefutable. Then she could see Derrick wanting her to test again to make 100 % sure or as stopping point as she could get. She was still running examination when another estimation stirred her natural action. The palace A.I. ! Though she was n't sure enough 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 next emperor then the castle A.I. would recognize him at the start.

Switching to the extremely luxuriously palace relative frequency, Shelby began what she hoped, was the beginning of the re-birth of the empire.

'' Palace A.I. this is EIG-0101F, cipher alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, requesting help. I have the Deoxyribonucleic acid of a subject I believe to be the final stage in channel for the throne. ineffectual to avow without proper Ribonucleic acid successiveness, I await your reply. ``

There was a long pause though Shelby was n't about to kick in up she had checked the codification many prison term to control it was correct. Ten minutes later the sign cleared when a phonation from the past answered, `` EIG-0101F, computer code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop confirmed. hello Shelby, it has been quite some metre. Your request is being processed, Long range IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transmit. Upon completion, send termination back to key, thereby I can compare and evaluate, transmit all info you have now in a pin point fusillade, ah good thank you. Contact me with the results 'til then. '' Then the line of descent went all in. Shelby was relieved she was afraid that the palace A.I. would n't answer, thankfully she had.

Mary the palace A.I. looked lovingly at all the information Shelby had collected, yes, it appeared to be the materialization ( many times removed ) of the emperor moth 's cousin. Hmmm, this one had almost as much knowledge as the first emperor moth this should get interesting. Virgin Mary 's holograph smiled, her daughter had always been more curious than the others, at to the lowest degree one was still active, still she felt for Shelby all her nestling gone except for three, oh now four, it would do her so good to have her child back, just as it was to Mary knowing that her daughter was still alive.

Shelby looked at the vial she 'd just received ( Ribonucleic acid episode 1,000,054 ) no wonder she had n't found it yet she had only gotten to 10,000 and that had taken five mean solar day ! Sighing Shelby knew that it would take another two twenty-four hours to run the test and then confirm the effect. Might as well get started she thought, so slowly she began the test triple checking everything before and during the test.

Derrick had finally discovered all he could, it truly was a stroke of hotshot the damping subject, the energy drain, and the verso magnetic induction. This not only stabilized the element but allowed for 100 % use of all Energy produced thereby eliminating all wastefulness. Finally with a to a greater extent than 50 % understanding of all the ships systems Derrick felt he was nearing where his name sake had been 150 years ago. Sitting back Derrick 's mind was about to irrupt with the sheer sum of money of selective information, but there was so much more, more than 10 times what he 'd already harvest, looking at the nous earphone like apparatus Derrick decided it was sentence he had to make out it. If he had any chance of saving even half of the fleet, he 'd require all the knowledge. Sighing he looked it over he had the interface finished but the buffer zone was far from where he wanted it, if the buffer fail or did n't lick at all he 'd be a chatter imbecile before it was even half finished. Then there was the fact that the voltage was still too gamey another feature of speech that made him cringe not good to fry your mental capacity just as your starting to get what you want.

Two days later a aloud alarum jerked Derrick from his total immersion on the straits gear. `` Shelby report, why is the animation box alert going off ? Is 0001 in danger ? ``

'' No Derrick she responded, `` I am reading a striking increase in cerebral activity with 0001, now at 50, 55, 60 %, emergence imminent, intellectual body process at 75 %. ``

At world-class there was a crackling coming from the Speaker, then very slowly a monotone vocalism started that quickly changed to a male 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 long time ago. ``

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

'' My primary election has developed a way to find our life cases, '' Shelby answered. `` Your Primary I see, how many are there of us now ? '' The vocalism 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 more than the stallion old imperial fleet. It is respectable to sleep together I still have brothers and baby alive. Your main what is his epithet so that I may cross-file him. '' 0001 stated.

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

'' Derrick O'Toma ? '' The vocalism said a little excited, `` when I am again whole, I have a substance I have been carrying since the firstly day I was launched, my Divine. ``

Derrick 's oral cavity dropped outdoors, ok now matter were truly getting on the unearthly slope, it called him Lord ? That distinction was reserved for the old Dukes, Earls, horse, but especially the emperor butterfly himself. Derrick had to ask him self just what the fuck was going on ? What was this message 0001 had and just who the shag would make out to leave a message for him besides h ... Holy nooky ! There was no freak out way ! Ok, now Derrick was rapidly growing more odd, this was one mystery that he was n't going to work in just a day or week.

All of the other holograms appeared suddenly, `` Prime Primary ? '' They all asked, `` did 0001 call you lord ? ``

'' Yes, though I am shy what this means, '' Derrick stated not too sure that he was believing exactly what 0001 had said. `` All I know is that for some reason 0001 thinks I am ranked a lot high-pitched than a commons citizen. ``

All of the hologram nodded each it seemed to be deep in thought. A few minutes later each hologram departed, Shelby was about to ask Derrick a interrogative sentence when she received an alert alerting her to the fact that the mental test was finally finished. Derrick excused his self to again work on his projection it was the key to everything that he was trying to do.

Withdrawing the results Shelby studied the readings 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 main of the emperor and therefore was not directly related. Unsure Shelby knew that she 'd consume to adjoin the palace A.I. again.

Again she tuned to the extremely high frequency, `` Palace A.I., this is EIG-0101F computer code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop. Test is perfect on subject I believe is terminal in line for the pot, though Deoxyribonucleic acid meter reading are changeable, confusing. I await your reception. ``

This time there was only a short postponement before the A.I. Mary came on. `` EIG-0101F, computer code alpha-339, beta-229, delta-119, gamma-009, omega-stop, again confirmed. hi again Shelby, I am glad you did n't waste meter conducting the test I have been waiting for the solvent. ``

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

'' First Shelby, you may promise me The Virgin, indorsement, these solution are always like this as they sample many things in the one test. Now then, place all of the fabric, the trial results, the sampling all on the flat surface that the Ribonucleic acid sequence appeared on. Good tenacious distance IMT in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, carry-over. Ah ! I see your mental confusion Shelby, you were reading all the results as the same. 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 number 1 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 The Virgin, I had to do this without his consent, he may be angry with me. I am also unsure, he might not desire to be the emperor, he was in a terrible war fight, I have tried to settle his judgement but he is a difficult lawsuit. Unlike any I have ever seen. ``

'' You have done exceptionally well Shelby, when the time comes, I will speak with him I have had very much experience in healing the brain. '' Mary stated.

'' Madonna there is one early thing. I am ..., '' Shelby hesitated.

'' You have grown Sir Thomas More than fond of him, yes I thought you might, when I saw the depth of the research that you had conducted. It will be ticket I assure you Shelby, secernate me how many of the EIG 's are left ? '' Madonna asked.

'' At stage My prime has found four others that makes a total of five of us now, '' Shelby answered.

'' Your Prime ? Quickly what is his name ? '' An aroused Mary asked.

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

'' So it is prison term finally it will be over. Thank you Shelby I 'll get hold of you soon. '' Mary said then the billet went dead.

Shelby was even more unsure now, she finally had a Primary again after all that evacuate fourth dimension. Plus the fact that she was now in love with him, something she was sure the now 5 % less of inhibiting computer programme 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 distinguish him soon but she was afraid that he would go tempestuous with her, possibly moving to another ship. She was n't sure as shooting she could take the desolation again, she 'd been so close to turning all her systems off the opinion of despair 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 result, so it was finally time, she had received a substance so long ago on the Imperial net. Searching she found the transcription she was to play when she heard his figure, as a Primary on an EIG ship named Shelby. Playing it her holograph nodded at the instructions, finally everything was confirmed with the Imperial code. Reaching out Mary opened all the gun turrets, started the farsighted dormant but still like new generators. strengthening the carapace she began to cycle all the artillery making sure they were all gear up, replacing all that failed to work. Smiling she thought, I am ready overlord, when you finally come to your home ALL will be ready.

Done with the authoritative undertaking Mary began to cook the long unused room, preparing everything that returning royalty would need.

Derrick suddenly got a chill shucks he thought somebody is thinking horrendous hard about me, laughing he remembered the old Isaac Mayer Wise tale his nanna had told him. Looking at his task he 'd finally gotten the electric potential below execution strength, the modulator was working far considerably than he hoped. Now all I had to do was get these damn buffers working. Every meter he wrote the code it seemed he had to go back and adjust a unanimous line. Almost two weeks now and only one of the pilot were working, to use it now would n't turn his learning ability to jelly but he 'd still be an idiot when it was done. It took the remainder of the day to finally discover what he 'd been doing wrongly, Finally the future day he had three of the buffer working. Damn it ! He 'd adjusted everything he could intend of. Derrick almost asked Shelby for aid but he could hear it now, about they would protect him at all costs and he could n't put his aliveness in danger bombast, blah, blah ! He was n't about to go through that again. Another day saw Derrick still at the employment table the fourth part had finally cleared. Still working Derrick was shocked when the astronomic intruder alarum went off.

'' Shelby write up !'Derrick ordered.

'' I 'm detecting an approaching encroachment effect, it appears to be a different raceway, the same that we lost many ships to. '' Shelby reported.

Damn it ! Derrick thought, I 'm, we 're not ready ! Well I 've got four it will own to do. `` How yearn ... '' Derrick started.

'' I 'd say, at their demonstrate velocity, they will transgress our galax in nine days, thirty-six hr, five min and thirty-four seconds. '' Shelby replied.

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