Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth open. They had a prisoner sure, though a au naturel female ? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his lips then he slapped his face. anathemise it Johnathon, now is n't the sentence to remember about that !
Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.
Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the verge. Damnit ! The female was still naked !
'' I thought you 'd put something on her by now. '' Hartwell told Lucie.
'' Why ? She 's a female, I 'm a female, we 've got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you were n't here I thought, why annoyance with it. Since you 're here though, you can cover it. '' She then turned to go, stopping at the door to simper at her brother. `` After all you 're a man, I know you can deal it. '' Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.
Hartwell again shook his header as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. `` Johnathon, reputation ! ``
Johnathon appeared a moment later, `` She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning of the sterilization that the Tendrax masses are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen loss might have caused. ``
'' good, also Johnathon ? '' Hartwell asked.
'' Yes, Admiral prime ? '' Johnathon replied.
'' Do something about her not get into clothes. '' Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his school principal, he and the team had been through hell, horrors men should n't see and suffer survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new military recruit on the battle domain, pissing his pants. All because of a naked female person ? case it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten mild like the commanding officer said.
Derrick was about to take a potable when his wrist comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. `` You alright Admiral ? '' he asked.
'' I am sorry to agitate you Commander. '' Hartwell told him. `` Just returned with the prisoner. '' Here Hartwell sighed.
Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. `` What 's damage, did you have to kill them ? ``
'' No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female person. What in the hell do you expect me to do with a naked ... On indorse thought do n't resolve that. '' Hartwell said with a feel of chagrin on his face.
'' Bring her here as soon as possible. '' Derrick told him.
'' I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a life sentence capsule with a mental capacity box attached to it. '' Hartwell explained.
Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a minor lady friend and boy began to run Mexican valium around him and Shelby chasing each other.
Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. `` devote it back to me ! '' The little miss was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only sway his capitulum.
'' I think it would be best if you do, also. '' Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.
The little little girl turned to hug Derrick tight. `` Thank you, Mr overnice man ! '' Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a import later waving a fingerbreadth at the girlfriend, she leaned into Derrick whispering. `` I think I 'm in hassle, here comes the see through lady. ``
'' I heard that ! '' Mary said.
Derrick could n't book back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. `` Ah ! My dear Shelly, it is always a pleasure to see you. ''
A bit later Mika walked up to deal Shelly from Derrick. `` I 'm disconsolate sire, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me. ``
Derrick gave Mika a Brobdingnagian smiling as he replied. `` They were no job at all. I am grateful to have all of you here. ``
Mika 's face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, `` Still no news on when Gunter gets back ? ``
Derrick smiled as he told her, `` No, not yet, though I am hoping to have another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him. ``
'' I really hope so get. The male child and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife. '' Mika told him.
'' I know Mika, remember he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon. '' Derrick told the occupy woman. ‘ They skillful make it back alive, I do n't break my Book and I do n't want to go now.'
Mika was nodding her psyche, `` I just wish that there was n't all this concealment. ``
Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. `` As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessity. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything. ``
Derrick could only nod as he tried to conceal an stymie look on his face. `` At the present time, I am afraid that it is essential. ``
'' Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the hereafter that it is n't. '' Shelby stated with a set look on her face.
At the edge of the Galaxy three minuscule craft suddenly appeared. One was n't doing that well as they started in toward the imperial world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to last out on course.
'' You know he 's going to kill me if I ca n't get this dorsum to him. '' The damaged ship 's occupant told the other two.
'' After what we found, I think he 'll more than forgive you. Especially after that close call near the Tendrax home world. '' One of the other ship's resident replied.
'' Still they were n't as shuddery as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons ! I thought that one, was going to rip my aspect off because I did n't aggress him. '' The damaged ship man said.
'' I thought you read the briefing. You know they only respect you if you attack them. Then again when you nearly killed it, I think you made a rattling impression. The way it was looking at you, I was afraid it would want to checkmate with you ! '' The early ship occupant said.
'' Ha, ha, be an ass, it was a male I 'm telling you. '' The damaged ship man stated.
'' I 'm not so trusted, '' the showtime ship man said. `` It sure was gyrating toward you an painful lot. ``
'' Jesus ! You 're getting more and more complete the finisher to domicile we get. feeling, just let it cast off and we 'll forget that you almost wrecked us on that Tendraxian cruiser. '' The damaged ship man replied.
'' Still not going to let up on that are you ? I told you I was having control circuit card problems ! '' The first gear ship man said.
The back and damaged ship men were now laughing almost uncontrollably. All this was suddenly cut short by a serial publication of ear piercing, shrieking alarms that started to go off.
The first ship man started to excommunicate when he saw the indication. `` Damn it ! Apparently, you made a bigger impression than you at first of all thought. ``
'' Son of a bitch ! '' The damaged ship man stated. `` Computer, I need length of the approaching fleet. Give me a time human body for their penetration of the galactic limit. ``
'' deference, '' the round-eyed A.I. of the humble damaged ship replied. `` At present pep pill they will penetrate the limit of the galaxy within two calendar week, six twenty-four hours. At present scan unable to fix the issue of ships. ``
'' Can you, with information provided, generalize the possible size of the fleet ? '' The damaged ship man asked.
'' Now attempting to extrapolate an answer. At present, scans have only indicated a thousand ships. There are three, alien cistron to deal with current information. If this is a matrimony challenge party than the number could be as high as fifty to seventy K. If this is a diplomatic political party, then it could be as few as 40 G. '' The A.I. droned.
'' You said there were three unknown factors, what of the third ? '' The number 1 shipman asked.
'' Now working on that. According to data that was supplied for the thirdly cistron. If this is a war company then the number could be as heights as, one hundred 1000. '' The A.I. answered.
'' Shit ! Damn it ! All you had to do was do nice, maybe hit it a little. No, you had to go and maledict near killing it ! '' The offset ship man said.
'' We 're going to own to break communication silence. I do n't need to be the one that royally pisses him off. '' The first ship man said.
'' Neither do I. '' The second ship man stated.
'' What ! ? You want me to present his ire ? I 'm not doing this alone, if I have to narrate him, then the both of you do also. '' The damaged ship man said.
With a sigh the other two nodded as the maiden opened a comm. `` Like it really affair, he 'd know they were coming in about a week anyway, if he does n't already. ``
For half an hour he tried to send a signal to no avail. Picking up what appeared to be a great fleet of ships ahead. That 's when the three ships came upon the massive debris field. Here at the back end of it there were actual recognizable department of ships. The matter was though, there were absolutely no life signs at all.
All three of the males could only stare with their backtalk spread. The field of honor had to be chiliad of kilometers long and wide. Just what in the hell had been going on while they had been away ?
'' Scan the present debris orbit. Can you determine what type of ships those were ? What destroyed them ? '' The low gear ship man asked of his A.I.
'' Scanning now, CAT scan confirming individuality of ship wreckage. All sections that are entire indicate that they are remnant of a very large Tendraxian fleet. Damage was induced by high temperatures and thermic radiotherapy. '' The A.I. informed the male.
'' Thermic ? Are there any remains of EIG ships present tense within the wreckage ? '' The male person asked.
'' Affirmative, at acquaint, I am detecting the comportment of one hundred EIG life condensation. Though none are active, they are all giving off indication that they are still functioning. '' The A.I. reported.
'' I wondered why so many berths were empty when we went by there. They must suffer come after the EIGs strong if the EIGs used thermic artillery. Yeah, I think we ALL have to call up him. Mad or not if he does n't know he 'll be glad to get a count. '' The showtime ship man said.
'' As soon as we get ahold of him. '' The sec ship man said.
Another alarm system started to go off as all three turned to face at the readings. `` Warning ! Warning ! residuum ripalon Energy Department detected. Do not activate trans-warp, repeat do not activate trans-warp. Ripalon vim will stimulate a degenerative result to the Criteria atom causing failure within the system. ``
All three of the Male looked at each other shaking their headway. No wonder they could n't communicate.
'' Will the shielding effectively guard the trans-warp organization ? '' The initiative ship man asked.
'' Affirmative, as long as trans-warp system is not activated. '' The A.I. replied.
'' How long before we can safely enlist the system ? '' The initiative ship man asked.
'' At present speed, six hours, twenty three min to deny the rubble field. Then another fifteen mo to be at a distance to safely take. '' The A.I. informed them.
This of course drew a moan from all three of the males. Damn, here they thought they 'd be home in to a lesser extent than an hour. Sighing all three started to ensconce in when they heard another set of warning device go off.
Looking over the meter reading all three were stunned to see that they were picking up lifespan signs. They were faint, though they were there.
'' You know. we really do n't have time for this. '' The 2nd ship man said.
Sighing the number 1 ship man nodded, `` Yeah, I know, though if we do n't try, I do n't think I could live with myself. ``
The early two groaned but agreed as they veered off toward the signals.
Hartwell was at his wits end, the female was still unconscious, though all med scans said she was delicately. Leaving her there he started for the bridge circuit, then was standing there. Smirking he thought, damn A.I.
Hartwell was about to sit when he got an excited shout from Lowell Jackson Thomas. `` Admiral ! '' The man was yelling almost to the point of irritation.
'' WHAT ! ! ? '' `` Hartwell snapped causing Seth Thomas to gage away a moment.
'' Sorry sir, did n't entail to piss in your breakfast, sir. '' Thomas said with a smile.
'' Whatever, what do you have to account ? '' Hartwell said starting to cool off.
'' I wanted to let you cognize, we have heavy natural process within that area where the buckler is. '' Dylan Marlais Thomas said. `` Heavy as in machinery. ''
Hartwell nodded as he thought a moment. `` I 'll be right there. '' Hartwell said, then nodded to Johnathon. A second later they were near the orbit of the Duke 's satellite. `` Alright record me. ``
Norman Mattoon Thomas nodded as a topographical map appeared between them. Pointing Thomas stated, `` all indication are, that heavy machinery is being located just outside this clearing. Unfortunately, the shield is making taking meter reading within, nearly impossible. This was one of the two areas that you wished me to catch. ''
Hartwell nodded as he looked at the area closer. damn, if he did n't lie with, that domain, looked a lot like the post near an old abandoned bunker. He and William used to play there as youngster. Suddenly, a thought came to him, drawing up another set of program of the Lapp area. plan that were below the surface well within a cave system.
'' Does the shield extend through the land ? If so, to what depth ? '' Hartwell asked.
Confused a few seconds Thomas stared a moment, then a wide-eyed smile broke over his features. `` Pulling that up now Admiral. '' Thomas the doubting Apostle was at it for a minute then his smile returned. `` It appears to only be confined to the surface. ``
Hartwell was nodding as he started to go through several more mathematical function. Suddenly he stopped pointing to the side of a hill. `` That 's it, if I remember right that goes through to the interior of the shell. ``
Seth Thomas excited was looking over the design as he suddenly looked up. `` Not really big enough to get anything utile through is it ? ``
'' Just a lot of the rangers, especially the ones that are trained. '' Reaching over Hartwell flipped a transposition. `` Celeste, I need a theme on the condition of Captain Greeson, and Colonel Jack Dempsey. ``
'' Yes sir, admiral flush. Captain Greeson has been released from med-bay. His hurt were n't as spartan as first thought. '' Here Celeste sighed. `` Colonel Manassa Mauler will require at least another day. ``
Hartwell was nodding then asked, `` What seems to be the problem ? ``
'' Well sir, Colonel William Harrison Dempsey would have been out Sooner, though, he re-injured himself restraining Miss Sakuta. I am afraid that they both require at least another day. '' Celeste informed him.
Hartwell tried to keep it in, though it was starting to infract through. Then, he was suddenly laughing at the predicament that William Harrison Dempsey was now in.
Both Celeste and Johnathon were staring at Hartwell, both worrying that his mind was going. `` Sir ? I fail to see the mood in this. '' Celeste told Hartwell.
Between his gasp for air he tried to explicate. Even as he was opening his mouth three sets of alarms went off.
'' alerting ! alarum ! Unidentified craft entering the Galactic limit. They appear to be on a address path to the last battle. Shall I notify the Emperor ? '' Johnathon asked.
Derrick 's holo-gram appeared just then. `` No, I think he already knows. '' Hartwell said.
'' Have you received any communicating ? Have they made striking in any way ? '' Derrick asked.
'' At present sir, we ca n't get a convinced id on them. It appears that even this far away, the ripalon Department of Energy is screwing up the systems. They moved across the boundary a suddenly clip ago. suggestion sir ? '' Hartwell asked.
'' Keep an eye on them, there 's no tattle who or what they are. With that huge field of residuary ripalon vigor, we do n't risk sending any ships, 'til we can better cuticle against it. '' Derrick advised Hartwell
Hartwell was nodding his agreement as he watched the three ships move across his screen. Was this a overture to another invasion ? Like the commander said, he 'd take in to keep his eye on them.
Shaking his headland, Hartwell was beginning to recall it was going to be a bad day. A few transactions later Johnathon was taking readings in the med bay, when the female person groaned.
Johnathon was immediately adjacent to the bio-bed as the female started to cry. Hartwell could only shake his head as he watched on the aspect screen.
'' Johnathon what is going on ? '' He asked.
Jonathon appeared with a bedaze face on his grimace. `` Apparently Admiral prime, the distaff awoke reaching to me to get my attending. When her hired man made middleman with my holo-image or rather passed through it, she screamed. Everything I tried to do to tranquillise her only seemed to make her howler louder. ``
Hartwell sighed, then took a stair toward the corridor, then he was in the med bay. `` Is that really necessary ? '' Hartwell said loudly to get above her screaming.
The female jerked toward Hartwell then replied, `` Lord sir, when I finished my upcycling, I tried to lead off procedure. I would bow down myself to you though I found that I am immobile. ``
Creator sir ? What in the perdition was she on about ?
Hartwell was nodding to all of this. It was then that he noticed that the female was starting to cry violently. `` Why are you crying ? '' He asked.
The female looked at Hartwell through her crying confused, `` Crying Maker sir ? I am unfamiliar with that term. ``
'' What you 're doing from your eye. '' Hartwell told her.
The female shape her eyes down, then the tears started to come faster. `` I am sorry Divine sir. I did not mean to waste liquidity in social movement of you. I accept what punishment you deem necessity. ``
'' punishment ? What in the pit do you mean ? '' Hartwell said, then immediately regretted it when he saw the female person cringe back from him.
'' I am wasting something nobleman sir. However you wish to punish me, I will accept. It is after all your rightfield as a male. '' The female told him.
Hartwell 's mouthpiece dropped open as he could only stare at her momentarily. `` That is the biggest load of horseshit I have ever heard ! '' Again Hartwell regretted his natural process as the female started to agitate violently.
Without raising her eyes the female person whispered, `` When you kill me Lord sir, could you please construct it fast ? I know I do not deserve it, though I beg you to. ``
This time it was Hartwell that shook violently, not from concern, more from the extreme choler he was feeling. What the sin kind of hoi polloi were hers ? If they cried, they were wasting ? Hartwell was doing all he could do to keep his temper under control.
Barely keeping his voice low he stated, `` I am not going to pour down you nor have you killed. Do you know where you are ? ``
The distaff slowly nodded as she whispered, `` Yes master sir, I am in a government checkup place. The fact that I am here, means that the leaders think I have many more good breeding year in me. ``
Hartwell 's center went wide as he stared at the female person in incredulity. Again the female person drew back as far as she could, when Hartwell snapped a part of the mesa off that he had ahold of.
As calmly as he could, Hartwell stated. `` No, you are aboard an EIG of the empire. This is a regular medical bay of that ship. ``
The distaff tentatively asked her brim trembling, `` The empire that recently destroyed a keen many Cregon ships ? '' Hartwell nodded, then noticed that the female person was even More afraid. `` NO ! '' She was whispering even blue. `` You are component part of the barbarian hoard that has destroyed so many. ''
'' Ha ! '' Hartwell almost snorted then covered his oral cavity. `` Not as barbaric as your citizenry, to attack with so many ships ! Barbarians would n't follow in as big a force if they did n't mean to infest. ''
'' Lord sir, we were not attacking. We were only protecting our selves. We ... '' The distaff started.
'' You were in our coltsfoot ; therefore WE were protecting ourselves. '' Hartwell almost growled.
'' I am sorry Creator sir, that is what I heard the male person speak of. We female person do not usually know of such things. We are seldom allowed to get a line such, let alone have it off of them. '' The female whispered her head teacher as low as she could get it.
Hartwell was stunned at this bit of result. Sighing he looked away from the female. maledict it, was going to be a farseeing few succeeding days.
William Hartwell was doing all he could to save his uncle River Trent from exploding. The imbecile that had brought the heavy weapon up had forgotten the ammunition. His eyes blanket, he wondered just how they had survived as long as they had.
'' Did you finally pull off to get those idiots to get it here ? Trent asked.
'' Yeah, I chewed them out for a serious while. They said they took what you said literally. You said bring up the equipment nothing else. I guess they thought that you had ammo here. '' William replied.
Trent River shook his head, `` Dear god, how in the Scheol are they still alive ? You 'd recollect that they were smarter than that. '' William could see that his uncle was about to break loose again if he did n't calm him.
'' I guess they were hiding a lot ripe than we thought, Uncle Trent. You 've got to admit they are very helpful. '' William told his uncle.
'' That 's about the only thing they are. '' Trento grumbled.
Both men stepped back as the ordnance was moved into situation. Trent smiled with an almost gleeful look on his boldness. `` Fire ! Blow the hell out of that station, plus the asshole in there ! '' Trent River yelled.
Inside the dugout the scarred face leader had been keeping a watchful eye out. A few hours after they had received initial Scripture heavy activity was detected.
He 'd notice a buildup of personnel out there, he also had a bad feeling watching them move but getting no closer. `` I think we need to puddle a retreat, NOW ! '' The loss leader was yelling.
All of the residue of the men were close behind the loss leader and Duke as they left the building. less than ten bit after they left it, the dugout exploded.
The concussion of the world-class hit, knocked all of them off their pes. The leader was up with the Duke over his shoulder as a second blast hit a little further back. Cursing, the loss leader took off as he heard several of his men riot, then nothing.
Trent was watching a read out as the maiden of the shells hit. Cursing, he saw almost all that were inside had managed to get out. Then he saw that the irregular and third gear caught a few of those trailing.
'' Son of a squawk ! '' Trent was yelling as he saw that of the two in figurehead, one was the Duke. He then smiled slightly, good the cocksucker was injured, at to the lowest degree it looked that way. 'Bout time that ass got back some of the pain he 'd been giving for years.
Trent was about to send men after them, when there was a commotion at the rear of the camp. `` Get a team ready to go. '' He was saying when a voice next to him shocked him.
'' I suggest that you not. I know them, your men would n't last long at all. '' The voice told him.
River Trent and William were reaching for their hit man when they were shocked to see an modal tallness, well-muscled man. `` Just who in the hell are you ? ''
The man held out his hand as he stated. `` Captain, David Greeson of the Imperial peculiar forces. '' Shaking both men 's bridge player they both looked at each other shocked.
'' How in the netherworld did you get in here ? We have watches posted all over the situation. '' William replied.
Here Greeson smirked a bit, `` They are n't nearly as estimable as I am. So, as I said let me and my squad go. Those are from a sect that we THOUGHT we had defeated. ``
Trent was also smirking as he drew his gun, then was shocked as it was suddenly in the hand of the Greeson person. He started to say something when he realized what the young man had said.
'' Imperial particular violence ? Then the emperor is aware of our situation ? '' When Greeson nodded he continued. `` Then the emperor butterfly is here ? ``
Greeson took a cryptic breath as he stated, `` Well not here on the planet. It seems that he had to get married, so he went back to the Imperial home world. The rest of us are here to aid you as much as we can. ``
William watched the whole conversation still not completely convinced. `` How are we to know that you are n't just a plant by this supposed sect ? I for one ... ''
William was suddenly a foot off the floor. `` I am in no way an evil, glory seeking ass ! Do not pee-pee the misapprehension cerebration we are like them. '' Dropping William with a thud, Greeson slightly growled then said, `` If we were, you 'd all have been short at least thirty mo ago. ``
William adjusted his apparel as he nodded his agreement. `` I apologize I ... ''
Greeson held up his hand to stop William. `` I am not here to wound you, rather to avail. Besides I am certainly that SHE would be pretty pissed if I did ache you. ``
William and Trent were both nodding as he said this. Then they both stopped as they looked at Greeson.
'' Uh, she ? Just who are you talking about ? '' Trent asked.
Greeson turned toward Trent as he very seriously looked the male directly in the center. `` Why Miss Hartwell. '' Both Trent and William 's mouths dropped opened, even as a wide grinning cattle farm across Greeson 's. `` She works for the Emperor now. Has been for some metre. It seems, that she is one of the three most of import multitude in the empire. ``
Greeson was smiling even extensive as both Male seemed to be collide with understood. `` Lucie ? ! '' Was all Trent could get out.
William finally found his interpreter then sank to his articulatio genus. rip were starting to flux as he stated, `` She 's alive ? My god she 's alive ! ''
