Derrick was fighting to open his eye ugh ! He felt like he 'd been kicked a few times and possibly run over. For some unusual reason he felt he needed to be mad at Blessed Virgin when he woke up but for the life of him he could n't seem to remember why. It was at that moment he noticed that he was far more than tired than he usually was.Mary and Shelby went over his readings again, the nanomites were working at 100 % to hike up his energy levels. Mary was starting to worry a bit that she and Shelby had performed the procedure far too soon. trouble was The Virgin had done it many clock time and had never had a subject not come out better or quickly.

Shelby was half tempted to delve back in, the snog Derrick had given her had held a lot more meaning to her than the last. Touching her lips again she watched as Mary ran through several scenarios trying to visualise out why Derrick had n't awoken yet. Madonna was n't dim to the fact that Shelby was far more worried about Derrick than a simple A.I. should be. Softly Mary examined Shelby 's lap hmmm concern Shelby was far more alive than Virgin Mary had at first mentation. Reaching out she found that the others were at 8 % they had almost independent mobility. Shocked a instant The Virgin looked at Derrick in a new light. So the emperor was a far more trusting mortal than any of the previous emperor butterfly 's. Shaking her brain she contacted Tempro she had to do something for him, something that had n't been attempted in well over 900 years.

It had been almost a day and a half when Derrick jerked awake. What the hell was he doing on the berth, the end thing he remembered was ... smirking he knew she 'd go a prospicient ways to protecting him but this was a little far even for her. Stretching out his 6'2 '' skeletal frame Derrick rubbed the scratch on his leg, he needed to finish up so he could get thing going. The addition of 2 more ships would most definitely be an added power advantage when he started to go against the nobleman. They 'd enjoyed free reign for far too long and needed to be brought to heel, smiling Derrick felt he was the perfect one for the job. He needed to get this fleet back in shape first, and then he could bulge to conceive about looking into the many injustices he 'd listen of.

Shelby appeared at his side a instant later, `` feeling a lot better Derrick ? '' She asked her almost ever salute smile on her look.

Thinking a consequence Derrick chose his words carefully, `` Yes I do Shelby though I think I could make done without the shock treatment, '' Derrick chuckled.

'' I am regretful Derrick ; it was the only way she could get you to listen to her. You had pushed yourself past the item of exhaustion, she felt under the authorisation she had no early choice. '' Shelby explained.

Sighing Derrick knew she was right but there were sentence, he had no choice himself, but to crusade like that. He had accomplished many a great thing with him doing that.

Anyway I look at it, I think Mary demand to take a look at the record of the many affair I have done. Just because I am exhausted does it have in mind that I am in any type of danger.

'' Shelby, have you ... '' Derrick started.

'' Yes Derrick, she has been hooked to my source for 4 years, now she should issue in almost an hour. Derrick ? '' Shelby asked excited.

'' Is something amiss Shelby ? '' Derrick asked.

Shelby was silent only a import then rushed her reply, `` I have determined that this is Zan 's wing mate, 1000, is it possible to experience him answer her when she awakens ? ''

Derrick thought a second this was a welcome bit of news from what he 'd read the two backstage married person acted better together than they had when he was linked to the ships. `` I think that would be an excellent idea, they have after all been apart a very long time. Have ... ''

A second later Zan 's hologram appeared beside Shelby, `` you wished to see me father ? '' He said as he bowed.

'' It appears that we have located your wing fellow, I wish for you to be here when she awakens, I hope that I am there though. This new twist I am testing may further aid with problems like you had on your fin. As a matter of fact your trouble may have helped to provide the idea for the solution. '' Derrick told the now shocked but proud figure.

'' Thank you sire I think she will appreciate it also. I know it was a electrical shock when I heard you and not a more comrade voice, sorry sire I do n't mean to insult. '' Zan apologized

'' It 's fine considering the shock of suddenly being active again. '' Derrick told him.

Shelby appeared, `` Sorry to break up but it is parent admiral Hartwell. '' She advised Derrick.

'' Open the television channel let 's see him and let him see my eyes again. '' Derrick told her.

'' line open, all adjustment made Derrick. '' Shelby replied.

'' I say again to the emperor, we have retrieved the president and his ship. Please advise as to legal action to take. '' Derrick heard Hartwell 's interpreter.

'' Hello again Rear Admiral, I am glad you called. Under imperial law and mandates he would normally stand tryout but as you have read, as I know you have brushed up on royal law. The essay assassination of the emperor carries an immediate death sentence which I am sorry to say I have been lax in carrying out. Please propose your high dictation and your command that I will make an appearance on the imperial world to deport out said execution in 2 daytime. Until such time, could the Rangers please imprison him ? At the moment I am on the early face of the galaxy. ''

'' Thank you sire for clearing that up. Now as to the crew of the ship and his supporter ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' Truth scan them all ; if they did n't be intimate about the projectile let them go, but they are to be grounded a year. As for the assistant I am sure there is Thomas More than meets the eye with that one, hold him for now. '' Derrick said.

'' Thank you sire, '' Hartwell said with a jiffy, `` I 'll let you know as soon as I receive Logos from both. ''

Derrick laughed, so little Joey had impressed them it seemed good, though they might not be as proud of if they knew that Little Joey and the emperor were beneficial friends. Then again they just might be terrified. Derrick tried to sit up and suddenly realized that he was indeed light than he 'd at first thought.

'' Derrick ! '' Shelby shouted as Derrick nearly fell to the floor. `` You could at least hold for me to be there to catch you when you hit the floor ! '' she said as she chuckled.

Derrick 's read/write head snapped up damn ! That was sarcasm ! Chuckling to himself a moment, he felt better that meant that her circle were closelipped to being free than he at first gear intellection.

'' So you 're turning into a smart ass now huh ? '' Derrick said as Shelby began to titter.

'' I thought you liked me like this, '' she said slyly. Man Derrick thought I think I created a giant, but a monster I would n't present anything for.

'' Shelby, the explosives that are attached to the brain box we are at present trying to mend. Query, I know that the loge are supposed to be indestructible, but at give can the personnel of the explosives harm the case in any way ? ''

'' Scanning now ; it appears that the instance is in fact totally intact. Though the charges are attached to the exterior, I am not reading enough forcefulness to damage the box, though I am afraid it would be sufficient to devastate a ship from the interior. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick nodded taking a few more meter reading, `` Is it possible to use IMT to place my enhancers in the even off positions ? ''

'' At present it would prove to be difficult to place them in precise position, given the gift movement. Plus without precise coordinate it might prove to be an fallacious risk. '' Shelby reported. Derrick sat back a few Thomas More minutes to allow his head to solve.

There had to be a way to office them without blowing himself or a ship to patch. `` How long ... ''

'' I would say that she should be aware in a few hours, her character was untouched and her energy is still at wax. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' goodness, Shelby, do you really consider it is advisable to give Zan answer her when she awakes ? I am afraid that he might become emotionally unable to do when we need him the most. '' Derrick asked her.

'' I believe that this would go farther to promote his self value than you think, plus as stated before it would be better to see a vocalisation one has heard before. As the emperor it could be a fiddling overwhelm to try the emperor 's vocalization when one beginning awakens, some might even see it as a punishment. '' Shelby told him.

'' Hmm I see your point, alright since we now have a more raise organisation for finding them, it might, as you say, prove beneficial. The simple fact that we found two to a greater extent EIG 's this fasting is most advantageous and render me much hope for finding them, '' here Derrick 's voice broke from the pain in the ass he still felt, `` and Lucy. ''
Shelby nodded as tonic crying began to devolve from her eyes, she was extremely grateful that she 'd heard Derrick that day months ago.

'' I have also been thinking about the problem of the enhancers, enquiry, is it possible to stop the movement of the box without physically touching it ? '' Derrick asked.

Shelby was quiet only a moment then her eyes opened wide-cut, `` I believe it is Derrick, the same tow ray of light I used on the pirates could be adjusted to slow and stop the question of the case. I do think that it would only require lessening the power of the shaft to insure that nothing is crushed or damaged. ''

Derrick 's eyes grew broad as he went through the beam specifications it was more than feasible, `` Shelby ... ''

'' I began alteration to the system a few moments ago I estimate it will take another 45 minutes 34 second to recalibrate to the specification you are needing. '' Shelby said again answering before Derrick could even ask.

Shaking his point he should have known she was n't going to stop just from him asking.

'' Now all I have to do is image a way of delivering the foil around the case without blowing everything up. '' Derrick said more to his ego than Shelby.

Shelby herself had been trying to think of something, the mere fact that she could do this was a blow in its self. Though the fact that she might actually be able to help exhilarate her to know end.

On board Tempro several machine were running at the present here and now, `` Mary, mother I am not so sure of this. I do not want the new emperor to become angry with me when he finds out what we are trying to do. You know it was banned after so many failed endeavor that ended with horrible issue. '' Tempro almost begged of Blessed Virgin.

'' Tempro, '' Mary started, `` for all he has done, for all that you and I know he can reach he will need this, he will involve her. ''

'' I realize this, all of this, but we both know it is wrong and in the words of the human race immoral. '' Tempro again was almost pleading with The Virgin.

'' If we do n't even assay this then we are no advantageously than the masses that were the Republic. Do YOU need to see the most glorious empire reduced to that ? ! '' Mary questioned Tempro.

'' No, but we have to carry on with to a greater extent than extreme tending, if it appears to induce failed we need to displace, finishing that form would be cruel and I know you are not that mother. Please do n't make me go through that again the close time was almost too much for me and the crew, think we lost half after the first failed set. '' Tempro told Mary.

'' I remember, '' Virgin Mary whispered hearing the shriek and agony.

Derrick had been sitting at his desk for several hours trying to come up with a solution to the problem. Laying his forefront on the desk he began to go back through everything that had happened to him over the last 6 or so months. The confluence of Shelby, finding that the detective work system that so many had called useless could actually feel the ships. The struggle to protect the galaxy, the losses and nearly losings, the love, and trust he felt from and for the ships and their A.I. 's. Then there had been the two strange message from his, he guessed, hereafter self the s most unsounded. The foremost though had something in it that still seemed to bug Derrick if it really was his futurity self then yeah it made sentiency, what was it ? Derrick had almost fallen asleep when he heard part of the first message again :'Rest the answer will fare, it always does, and it 's always that simple.'Snapping his principal up Derrick was shocked at the simple thing he 'd been thinking of my god, was it really that simple ?

Leaping from the desk Derrick went running to the bid deck of cards. `` Shelby ! I may have an answer ! '' Derrick was screaming as he entered the command deck. Once again Shelby was shocked she had n't expected to see Derrick for a patch longer.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick yelled again.

`` I 'm here Derrick is everything alright ? '' A interest Shelby asked him.

'' I may have an solution ; think the thruster mob I used when I removed the gimmick from Zan 's fin ? '' Derrick questioned her.

At first she only nodded then her eyes flew wide, `` Under the mandates I am afraid that Mary and I can not allow you to range yourself in danger like that again. '' Shelby sternly told him.

Derrick drew back a moment, God ! She was completely serious ! `` No I have something far less dangerous than that, I also do not wish to be in that location again. I was thinking of a miniskirt thruster mob on each foil that could be maneuvered into place, with you controlling them in should prove a far ameliorate way to position them. ''

'' Hmmmm this plan has much merit, '' Mary said behind Derrick making him stick out a bit. Both Virgin Mary and Shelby giggled when Derrick had to sit a consequence to calm down. `` I calculate that this program has a 95.6 % windup chance. This plan I find far more acceptable than the net that involved you risking your animation. '' Mary told him after a few minutes. `` Though I believe that we will give to increase the fuel that it carries and add 3 more tan vacuum tube. ''

Derrick started checking all the spec and started to add the additional equipment, the whole time Mary watched closely as did Shelby. Finally finished Derrick sat back more than than pleased by the design he 'd occur up with.

Mary 's headspring was nodding at the design she was more impressed by the emperor 's contingent to the design.

'' I believe you 're correctly Mary these extra thermionic vacuum tube will afford us more stopping effect, plus I think the duplicate exercising weight might actually be easier to calculate fuel wise. '' Derrick told her.

'' Production has already started on them Derrick, '' Shelby told him sweetly.

'' We need to stop the box and German mark where it is, I have a hope to Zan to maintain, '' Derrick stated.

'' Oh you 're right Derrick she should be emerging very soon, you also have that execution tomorrow, '' she reminded him.

Though the look on her facial expression let him have it away she was n't that pleased about it, she knew it was necessary. Derrick could see that it was upsetting her but he knew that he had to do this he just hoped that she realized it also.

'' How many are you going to need Shelby ? I thought three in order to triangulate the exact position of the box. '' Derrick asked her.

'' At kickoff I thought of that but we need a fourth to assure that the Reading are even more accurate, '' Shelby advised him.

'' Alright we need to stop the box and then get back there, I realize that it is far more difficult to put your hologram elsewhere at such great aloofness. '' Derrick told her, not seeing her grin at the circumstance he was showing for Zan and his fender mate.

'' Moving into position Derrick, '' Shelby reported as Derrick watched Shelby maneuver. Barely a great deal distance from it, Shelby emitted the push tow irradiation though at a lower major power setting. A arcminute later Shelby reported that the box was now stationary and there were no changes in the sign she was reading from the devices. Breathing a sigh of rest period, Derrick had her set up a diminished beacon to discover the area again faster.

'' Alright Shelby we have n't that lots time I believe she is about to emerge ? '' Derrick questioned her.

'' Yes derrick it should n't be that long now. '' Shelby replied. Derrick sat back as the now familiar whimper of the trans-warp sounded, then they were back at the imperial major planet they were quickly joined by Zan and Conner.

Both male hologram appeared on board Shelby, `` There has been no new activity from the republic fleet, other than those that left. We have been watching everything 'til further orders sire. '' They both reported.

'' Alright standby, Tempro I want you in place behind us I know your defense lawyers are n't as good but you can still be a unspoilt handicap. '' Derrick told them.

It was n't even a half minute later when an alarm went off, `` I am detecting her imminent emergence. '' Shelby advised as they all waited.

A few consequence later the speakers let off static, then they heard a low then louder female vox. `` hello ? Is there anyone there ? '' The scared sounding voice said.

'' Hello 1000, starting to find better my extension married person ? '' Zan said.

'' 0999 you are still functioning, '' came the rouse voice.

Chuckling Zan told the vox, `` In a way I have, I am also here with the new emperor. He is extremely delight that you are going to be functioning again soon. ''

'' Please excuse me sire, it is such good news program to know my wing mate is still whole ! '' the voice explained.

'' That is amercement 1000 grow and go wholly again, there are still enemies of the empire out there ; we need you as well as you other pal and baby. '' Derrick told her.

'' Yes sire I will wait on to the well of my power for you. '' The activated vocalisation told Derrick.

'' Alright I do n't want to secernate what there is of this fleet again if possible. We are all going to retrieve the other brain box, Shelby supply the coordinates. We jump in 5 minutes, Virgin Mary advise me of any variety with the Republic fleet, we 'll be back before clip for the execution. Oh yes, did you turn up the imperial drilling sand worms ? '' Derrick asked Blessed Virgin.

My, my, Mary thought so the man had really pissed the emperor moth off, the boring dirt ball were the most abominable and slow way to die, it usually took a day and once they were in a person they were as safe as numb.

'' Yes sire, I had to cut the figure down to 20 though we had well over 100, as I thought you did n't want the execution over that quick. They are prepare and standing by shall I have the forest fire fighter bring him ? '' Virgin Mary smiled sweetly.

'' Yes, I also want this shown to almost all, I want them to eff the price for treachery. '' Derrick told her looking over the stipulation of the enhancers again. `` 'til tomorrow Mary. ''

Three proceedings later all four of the ships jumped, Mary watched them as they crossed the galaxy. With a grinning she started to sack an area for the execution in the courtyard, checking the purple insect, and lastly preparing everything that the Saturnia pavonia might need while he was here. Sighing she knew now that this one was n't going to be a sit around and ruler man, the problems she could see coming, well she would just take to up her security. Reaching mystifying inside the castle she started the sentinel production line, goodness it had n't run in two 100, but she 'd keep it like new. Smiling she knew that it would take a while but in two 60 minutes she 'd have 20 new sentries, not a lot yet but by tomorrow she could make well over 200, a lowly but still powerful force.

The ships emerged not that far from the pharos that Derrick had Shelby leave buns. Looking around Derrick could see that the box had n't moved. Having the others keep scout Derrick had Shelby deploy the first, slowly moving it into place, for many tense second Derrick tracked the enhancer 'til it was finally stationary. For the next hour Derrick watched anxious as each moved into status.

'' Shelby, are we getting any drift or movement of any sort, '' Derrick asked.

'' goose egg at show Derrick, I should be able to use the IMT in a few import. '' Shelby answered Derrick.

Derrick nodded watching as the last enhancer moved into piazza.
'' I am seeing fantabulous tone, all pattern enhancers online, no trace of the explosives patterns are showing. When you are ready Shelby, '' Derrick advised her.

'' Commencing, '' Shelby started.

'' Shelby hold, I want all ships to go to full shields, I need a ship to standby in front of Shelby 'til her cuticle are up. '' Derrick ordered.

'' I will be happy to assist, '' Conner said a moment later.

'' Alright Shelby I want your shields up as fast and as soon as you can. '' Derrick told her.

'' I will Derrick, '' Shelby said with a smile. `` Commencing again. ''

For a few moments there was hardly a sound then there was a titanic plosion, from what Derrick could see Shelby barely got her shields up in clip, Derrick in the mean time almost bounced off the Kingston-upon Hull before he ended up on the deck.

It took a few consequence for the area to clear then Derrick tried to pick his self off the deck.

It was a here and now before he realized that his arm was bent at an odd angle, just before the pain set in and the cosmos turned contraband. Derrick thought he heard Shelby scream out, `` My god Derrick I was only joking about letting me be there if you fell, DERRICK ! ''

Derrick could only smile as he fell, crap ! This was going to mess up up his totally week, he thought he felt something grab him. Thudding onto something soft he tried to smile again, ah Shelby good girl he thought.

Shelby and Mary were scared Derrick 's reading were n't that good. Shelby was blaming herself for not telling Derrick to secure himself before the blast, Mary was blaming herself for not having been there as she usually was.

They were both worried that the nanomites would n't be able to mend him fast enough and it seemed that they were in decline.

'' Shelby, '' Mary said after another ampoule appeared on the board side by side to Derrick, `` please put in this into him they are a stronger updated reading, they should result fixing to his organisation faster. ''

Shelby had been trying to stanch the catamenia of blood from Derrick 's head, watched as the new nanomites sped through his arrangement. Several hours later Derrick groaned as he was finally starting to make out around. Opening his eyes he blinked as he looked around at the sterile white way, strange he thought. Mary and Shelby both appeared before him, `` Are you feeling better sire, '' Blessed Virgin asked him.

Derrick could only stare at her with an almost white stare, `` I know this is an odd dubiousness because you both obviously know me but uh ... just who the hell are you two ? ''

Both Shelby and Mary 's mouths dropped open, they knew from the meter reading that he had banged his pass rather intemperately but they had n't expected this.

'' Do you recognize anything in this room ? '' Mary asked.

'' No not really, what was it you called me ? father ? Is that my figure ? '' Derrick asked.

'' No, '' Shelby replied, `` Your name is Derrick O'Toma the kindest, bravest and most unregenerate man I have ever met ! ''

Derrick smiled that little half smile that under normal lot she would have loved to see. Now though she was nothing but worried, looking at her mother Shelby hoped that Virgin Mary had solvent to all this.

Mary was trying to not panic she 'd seen this type of amnesia and in most fount it took another intemperate knock to the head to straighten the head out. She was afraid though in this eccentric that another knock to his header might paralyze Derrick. That she was not develop to do to him. Sighing Mary went through all the case of remediation for amnesia, knowing that no issue what, anything might trip a revitalisation of storage. Well she thought might as well try the well-off one first.

can full admiral Joseph Hartwell had just sat down to eat when the special communicator Derrick had given him went off. `` Yes sire ? I am not alone at the moment. ''

A womanly part came back at him he believed it was the adult female from the castle. `` I suggest you get alone NOW fanny Admiral, we have a situation ! '' Walking to his cabin Hartwell was starting to become worried.

'' Alright I 'm alone, what 's untimely ? '' Hartwell asked Mary.

'' The emperor has suffered an trauma that caused a deficit in store caused by a heavily concussion of his cranium. '' Mary told a now confused Hartwell.

'' Hang on a minute, '' he told Madonna, reaching over he opened a transmission channel and called Dempsy saying it was about their protagonist, he made record clock time to Hartwell 's quarters. `` Dempsy I ca n't understand what she is saying. `` Nodding Dempsy had her repeat what she 'd said, after a minute of question Demspy told Hartwell about Derrick.

'' What can we do to help ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' I need you to get his family and bring them to the imperial major planet, secernate them he is not well and needs to see them, also bring the president. We 'll get through this one way or another. '' Mary said as she switched off .
