Derrick hi-tailed it out of there as fast as he could. Ok took care of that according to Tempro almost all of the future or his fourth dimension was back to where it should be. Feeling the disc in his pack, he cursed he still had to get that one in The Virgin.

'' A little more Sire ! '' Derrick heard Tempro say, Finally rounding a corner Derrick heard Tempro confirm. `` Now commencing sire. '' Then Derrick flashed out.

backbone in the palace Gregor was still searching when he got a engineering science warning signal. Looking at his articulatio radiocarpea comp. his middle got large ! IMT engineering ! So this cousin or whatever he was, had in his self-possession IMT engineering huh ? He had to adjoin his cousin as soon as potential. Something was n't sitting right with him about this mystery man.

On plank Tempro, Derrick walked into the command deck. `` I am afraid that the IMT beam was detected. It was n't as sophisticated as in our time but it still picked up a residual trail. '' Tempro advised Derrick.

'' Move us now ! '' Derrick ordered as Tempro moved the ship out of IMT kitchen stove just in display case. `` Are you detecting any signaling of chase or former CAT scan ? '' Derrick asked.

'' No Sire not at the moment. It appears that you have now set in motion the forming of the two religious sect. I am afraid though that without the finis disk Mary ceased to function a hundred years before you became emperor. Almost all early ingredient are More where they should be. Also I am afraid that most of the habitable planet were destroyed from many of the artillery that were scavenged from the wreckage of the palace. I 'm regretful sir. '' A saddened Tempro told him.

'' That 's about what I thought. There has to be a way to get it into her. '' Derrick said as he sat going over all the care that he 'd taken to do this last mission. Now he was going to have to find another way around the security and Gregor again ! `` You say there is no way to IMT right there in front of Virgin Mary ? ''

'' No forefather. All parts of the chief underframe are shielded for almost everything. Also I am detecting added security for entering any new datum into The Virgin. '' Tempro told Derrick.

'' Alright mail me everything that you did before. I need to calculate over everything again. There has to be something that I have missed. '' Derrick replied already in oceanic abyss cerebration about the situation. `` Also I need updates about Shelby. ''

'' Yes Sire, at present she is in almost full regen. I estimate she should be there a few more twenty-four hours. I 'm sorry Sire beyond that I can not say as the regen intercellular substance plays hazard with the sensor. '' Tempro advised Derrick.

'' It 's OK Tempro just knowing that she is getting better is a big succour. '' A sad Derrick said.

'' Sire it was n't your fault. Anyone of us would deliver done the Same for you. You treat us more as spouse rather than prick to be used and discarded. It means far to a greater extent to us than you think it does sire. Please know we all would do anything we could for you ! '' A serious Tempro told Derrick.

'' Yes well that is comforting Tempro, still it tears me up inside when one of you is damaged or destroyed. As you said all of you are far more than just simple prick. In quite a lot of ways you are syndicate to me. Now then, let me work on this problem I know I am missing something. '' Derrick told Tempro as he went back to deep intellection.



Lucie was on the edge of her rear end, my god she thought the voice is growing so weak ! `` We have to go faster Sherry ! The voice is so debile ! I can barely hear it anymore ! '' Lucie suddenly cried.

'' Yes young woman Hartwell, increasing amphetamine now ! '' A moment later they stopped beyond the edge of the galaxy. `` Now running scans attuned to the minute criterion the emperor gave us. As of yet I am not detecting anything. '' Sherry turned toward Lucie seeing that the Brigham Young woman was again staring straight ahead.

'' I can barely get word it, '' Lucie was whispering. `` I can sense it so weakly straightaway ahead ! '' Lucie suddenly said as Sherry started to advance forward. Sighing Lucie felt the vocalism, almost to a low rustling.

Even as they were moving forward a sudden alarum start to sound. `` misfire Lucie ! I am detecting it ! Very close only a million miles ! '' Sherry shouted excited.

'' full ! Remember Sherry, like protocol as before. We have to spend a penny sure they are secure for us before we bring them on instrument panel. '' Lucie advised Sherry.

'' Yes Miss Hartwell, now closing distance all scanners are at full. Now within a thousand statute mile, running full phase of dangerous explosive detection. '' Sherry informed Lucie.

'' Time to completion of scan ? '' Lucie asked.

'' It should n't take tenacious fille Lucie. First scan complete now running petty scan. '' Sherry said a consequence later. Lucie nodded as she watched the Reading that were coming in. She still wished she could grok even one-half of what she was seeing. She had to rely on Sherry, she still was n't certain Sherry was that dependable with what had happened before.

Waiting on the death of the s tests to end up Sherry sighed. How in the hell on earth was she going to be of aid if she could n't understand even half of what she saw ? A import later another alarm was going off. Looking at the recitation she nodded, even she understood what a mellow actinotherapy reading was.

'' Can you decontaminate it Sherry ? '' Lucie asked a import later.

'' Yes fille Hartwell, it should n't convey to a greater extent than an minute. Do you wish me to continue with the other three sets of tests ? '' A hopeful Sherry replied.

'' Yes Sherry, I think that is best. The emperor established them for a tinker's damn good reason and I 'm not about to go against them. I 'll be in the library middleman me when you have finished decontamination. '' Lucie said.

A slightly dejected sounding Sherry stated, `` yes Miss Hartwell. I will get hold of you as soon as it is finished. ''

Lucie nodded as she turned to walk away to the program library. She hated to see Sherry so despondent, though after last time 's dear disaster she was going to shit sure enough they all came back !

Lucie had just finished reading up on the different alarms, utterly oil production, when Sherry called her. `` missy Hartwell ? The mind box is free of dangerous irradiation. Shall I start the survive of the second barrage of tests, or should I move on to the thirdly set ? '' A now queasy sounding Sherry said.

'' Please finish the s then go on to the rest. '' Lucie told Sherry watching her grimace cliff.

'' Yes missy Hartwell, finishing second battery. '' Sherry said sadly as she finished the mo set of examination.

Again Lucie could only judder her head. Sherry was acting almost like a stripling -- nodding her chief Lucie got an idea.




Shelby backed away from both Kimison and Rayburn as they started moving between venire again. The way they were going at it Shelby thought, you 'd believe they were trying to open a portal site. Looking closer her eyes went blanket when she saw that they actually were !

'' I suggest you stop right now before you blow us up. None of the steady ships have the power or equipment to action what you are trying to do. '' Shelby told both of them as she stood behind them with her arms crossed. `` Perhaps some meter in the brig might assist ? ''

Both men slowly backed away from what they had been doing. `` I 'm sorry Ma'am, I feel useless not being capable to help the air force officer. '' Rayburn replied.

Sighing Shelby nodded, `` I feel quite the Lapp serjeant, Derrick has Shelby and Tempro. As you remember he has a complete story of how time SHOULD be. Plus he has more mightiness than three ships put together. Unfortunately he is also lacking in the weapons department. You also have to remember my Derrick is an extremely resourceful man. ''

'' Oh yes ma'am we know that, '' Kimison told her. `` Though I have found that at times he does need a fiddling assistant. Not a completely lot, just a little. ''

Shelby thought about it a import, she had to admit even as brilliant as Derrick was he did neglect things. Shaking her head she thought about that, lawful he 'd lack some multiplication. She 'd never seen him miss very much at all. `` Alright, I 'll allow you to help, though it WILL NOT admit More people nor ships going back through time. Do I make myself readable ? ''

Both men wide eyed nodded their heads affirmative. Then both began to be active at a deadening pace, she might not be as large as the commander but
many of her facial expression were. The few looks she 'd thrown at them left both of them knowing she was deadly sober.

Kimison and Rayburn pulled up all the information they had gathered on the clock time portal. If they could recreate it they just might be able to send something back. Problem was the powerfulness requirements seemed to be off the charts. Then there was the fact that the empress was watching them like a hawk.

Shelby again sat in the command chair, damn she felt incapacitated not able to do anything for Derrick. Then a sly grinning crossed her lips, maybe not facilitate in the past but here and now ; that was a dissimilar story.

As quietly as she could, Shelby called Celeste. A moment later a tall, fiery redhead appeared in front of Shelby. `` Yes my empress ? You called for me ? ''

'' Celeste, I want you to advise me of everything that both Sergeant Rayburn and Corporal Kimison do with what they are working on. I do not, nor will not put you or any of the former ships in danger. I know that the time hepatic portal vein takes an exorbitant amount of vim. I also know that one ship would be seriously crippled if not destroyed attempting to spread out one. I know that with the source redoubler twice the DOE can now be produced. '' Shelby advised Celeste.

'' I had thought that with almost duple force we would be able to action far more. `` Celeste asked.

'' Usually yes, '' Shelby replied. `` Though in this respect we are talking about a far orotund output of power. That plus the fact that Tempro has limited shielding to protect him during portal vein travel. Obviously nothing has been worked on lessening the prejudicious effects of Chronoton get-up-and-go. '' Suddenly Shelby nodded as she arose and walked back to Kimison and Rayburn. `` I just had a thought. '' She said as she approached them.

'' A thought your Highness ? '' Rayburn said a little unsure as he slowly turned toward Shelby.

'' Yes, the Chronoton vitality that is needed to open the portal vein is highly disruptive to the system of rules of the EIGs. If you are able-bodied to actually open a small portal vein you will require to develop a new shielding. I am not about to place another ship in danger. I 'm already afraid that Shelby has been severely damaged by the Chronoton vim. I am just hoping she can complete her re-gen onboard Tempro. '' Shelby advised both men.

Kimison 's eyes went full as he had just come across that very fact. `` I tend to agree your majesty. Though at the moment we are just now starting to sympathise the portal formation. Thank you your majesty, at least now we have a good direction to move in. ''

Nodding Shelby sat back in the command chair turning when Celeste appeared a mo later. `` Empress we are receiving a content from the major planet. ''

'' wager it ! '' Shelby terra firma out.

'' To the unfriendly force that has attack the righteous Duke Risen 's territorial dominion. Any further attempts to round will be met with deadly force ! We -- '' The voice was saying.

'' You are no threat to us ! '' Shelby spit out. `` The imperium has no use for traitors and fools ! You are beaten ! Surrender now before we shrink your pitiful dominion to smoldering ashes ! ''

'' We recognize no such -- '' The voice started again.

'' I am through with you ! I already know that your main power generators were destroyed ! You have no promise holding out like this. Turn over the traitor Risen to the empire before you all die ! '' Shelby was saying doing her Best not to purchase order another shelling on Risen 's stronghold.

'' You have no sureness to do -- '' Came the voice again.

'' As I said I am done with betrayer ! All ships open up, particle weapons ! Pin point Risen 's palace, and do not barricade 'til you have breached the buckler ! '' Shelby shouted out.

On the satellite more than a few people were staring at Duke Risen as he started to ordination more gamy tycoon source brought on tune. A here and now later there was a whine then the whole palace started to shake. Outside the shields were holding, although how long was anyone 's surmisal at the consequence. Smiling smugly Risen sat back positive that they were secure. A here and now later his grin faded as the palace started to shake up harder.




Derrick had been trying all day to do up with some character of plan to get back in. Problem was Gregor appeared to be far more than paranoiac than Derrick had at first thought. Derrick had been at it an 60 minutes pacing when Tempro appeared.

'' father ? It appears that we are receiving a message. Who it is from though I am afraid I can not determine. '' A perplexed Tempro told him.

Stopping suddenly Derrick replied, `` play it. ''

Nodding a present moment all was hush as a female voice was heard. `` To the stranger who has the emperor perplexed, I wish a parley. I have heard that an extremely intelligent man was leading a rebellion against the emperor. Though this distribution channel is strong I can not risk giving my gens. If you wish to get together, then I will be outside the castle near the outer ballpark, tomorrow at this Sami time. I am sure as shooting you know of it, if not I have included a map with this recording. Til we can assemble to bring down the fool on the throne, good wellness. ''

Derrick 's face was twisted into anger. Someone who was obviously close to the emperor was a traitor ! Derrick 's blood was about to boil ! How dare they betray one of the greatest emperor 's that had ever been !

'' Could you determine just who it was that sent the message ? '' Derrick asked of Tempro.

'' I am working on it at this bit Sire. As of yet I am unable to ascertain exactly who it was. person has gone to an inordinate quantity of time to disguise this. '' A at sea Tempro told Derrick. `` I am regretful that I am failing you Sire. ''

'' No, you are n't failing me Tempro. At the present meter just who besides myself would have got the skill to do this ? '' Derrick asked a sudden mentation coming to him.

Tempro was silent for a few second then spoke, `` according to my record book there are very few. I would say approximately five. Emperor Gregor is included in that minuscule listing Sire. ''

Derrick nodded then looked over the list. Well he thought he doubted seriously that it was Gregor. Reading on he saw the top dog computer programmer, the supporter to him both were Thomas More than capable of this. There were also two former coder that helped both of them that had the acquirement. Shaking his nous Derrick could see that this was going to take some clock time, unless.

'' Tempro I need all the info you have on the rebellion. What multitude were in on it, especially females. I am beginning to get a spirit that I 'm not going to like the response I find. '' Derrick told Tempro as the A.I. had far more than information Derrick view he 'd give. A few hours later Derrick was shaking his head. It was far worse than he thought it was. `` Tempro is there any way that you can contact Gregor so I can address to him ? ''

'' Yes forefather, though you have to confront the emperor again. Speaking to him now would not be a beneficial thing Sire. I am afraid that it would seriously upset what you have set into gesture to counterbalance. You have to face him this fourth dimension about what I think you are wanting to babble out to him about. Sire it must be face to face.. '' A now interest Tempro told Derrick.

Sighing Derrick had been afraid of that. Knowing Gregor as sneaky as he was, Derrick was n't sure he could get away this time as easily. `` I can keep a lock on you at all times Sire. '' Tempro assured Derrick.

'' Not at all prison term, '' Derrick replied. `` If I am in close down propinquity to Mary then I 'd be in serious trouble. Even as much power as you have, I do n't think you could only consume one someone. This is going to be seriously dangerous Tempro. '' Derrick said.

'' Yes sire I know but the disc and the confrontation are the only two John Roy Major things that you have to do. The rest are really nestling. '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick 's headland snapped up as he looked at Tempro as if the A.I. had gone screwball. `` You want me to waltz into Gregor 's palace and confront him AFTER I get the disk into Mary. Then you expect me to stool a clean get away ? Perhaps I should check YOUR logic racing circuit ! ''

'' All information I have says that you will accomplish this with no bother. Well, at least the maiden part. Knowing human nature as small as I do, I can not accurately estimate just how either of you will oppose to the early. '' Tempro told Derrick with all sincerity. This of grade did absolutely nada to put Derrick 's fears to rest.

It was early the next morn that a figure of speech moved quickly through the shadows. Approaching the main bod the figure pulled a disc out loading it into a slot. Typing rapidly they paced a bit as they waited for the record to land up. Then they started to typecast even Thomas More dictation. Looking at a screen they nodded seeing that everything was where it should be.

Withdrawing the figure gave a suspiration of relief when they reached a certain spot. Hurrying they made their way toward the exit. Almost there a voice came from deep in the shadows, `` I knew that if I waited long enough you 'd appear again. I contacted full cousin Hidalram, it took all day but I finally got him. He told me he has no relatives that even closely resemble you. So the real question is, just who in the blaze are you ? ''

Turning Derrick took a deep breathing spell, he had to get this right. `` Of row not, I am related to him through married couple or rather I was. When his married woman died I could n't bring myself to visit. She was the last of the family line besides me. Now there will be no Thomas More of the family. I can not have children. So you see sire I am not majestic having it known. '' Derrick breathed a sigh of relief that he 'd commence it all out. Now if Gregor only believed it.

Gregor was staring at the man before him. He did n't know if the crock he 'd just heard the man spew was true or not. All the information the man had said was straight. No one but fold family knew any of this ! `` Ok, say I believe you, why in the underworld are you here ? Sneaking around the computer processor ? ''

Derrick took another deep breath so far so effective, `` I have been collecting evidence sire. ''

'' Evidence ? For what ? '' Gregor said a feel of serious dubiety on his aspect.

'' About a treasonist that is hiding right under your intrude sire. A traitor that I was so blow out of the water to incur that I had to do far more digging before I could issue forth here. '' Derrick replied praying his carrying out was convincing.

Gregor stared at Derrick for a few moments trying to decide what if anything the man said was on-key. Shaking his pass Gregor thought what the hell ? I do n't have anything to drop off, not like the man before me. `` grounds you say, of a traitor that is close to me ? I take it you are referring to my traitorous wife ? ``

Derrick 's eyes went full so Gregor was far smarter than he 'd at first off sentiment. This was going to be far easier than he thought. `` Yes father. '' Derrick replied bowing low to Gregor. `` I was not about to accuse a extremity of the palace without definitive evidence. actual evidence not that manipulated bull so many have brought you. ''

This fourth dimension it was Gregor 's eyes that went wide as a shock went through him. `` You have me at a good disadvantage vernal man. Let me see this grounds. ''

Derrick did his best not to smile, he had Gregor hooked. Like any filch Pisces the Fishes he just had to carefully lurch him in. `` I ca n't bring forth. What I have is safe for now, though I did bring a copy. '' Derrick pulled a minor viewer from his coating, lifting it slowly, he handed it to Gregor. `` Just play what is there. It is n't infrangible evidence but it is damming to say the least. ''

Gregor gingerly took the spectator and pressed play. A consequence later a charwoman 's voice came from the speaker. { `` To the stranger who has the Emperor perplexed, I wish a parley. I have heard that an extremely reasoning man was leading a insurrection against the Saturnia pavonia. Though this groove is unassailable I can not take a chance giving my name. If you wish to meet, then I will be outside the palace near the outer park, tomorrow at this Sami time. I am sure you know of it, if not I have included a map with this recording. Til we can meet to subvert the fool on the throne, full health. '' }

Gregor 's mouthpiece dropped agape love, the empress ! ? `` As we both know I am not leading this so called uprising. I am to meet her soon. I thought you might like to be a party to what is said. Am I assuming that you would your majesty ? '' Derrick asked of Gregor.

Still in daze Gregor could only nod as he cradled the recording tightly. In a low whisper voice he stated, `` I knew that she hated me for what happened to our daughter. I never thought she would take her hatred to this level. ''

'' So, for an old man you are n't as stupe as I thought. '' Came a female voice from deeper in the estimator complex. Derrick immediately reached up touching his chest. `` I guess I will have to just kill the both of you, that way I can charge it on the unknown. A congeneric that was jealous of the emperor ! '' With an malign laugh she lifted an get-up-and-go arm.

'' I should warn you that if you fire that, you might be hit by the ricochet. I therefore advise against it. '' Derrick told the empress. Looking at Derrick as if he was softheaded her finger tightened on the trigger.

'' Just like a man trying to bluff out his way out of last ! '' With another evil laugh she pulled the induction even as a man was shouting behind her.

'' Rella ! Stop it 's too dangerous ! '' The man was yelling even as the radio beam of Energy Department was heading toward Gregor. curse it ! Derrick thought as he dived in front of Gregor the balance beam striking his shield and bouncing back .
