Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The cold and unforgiving nighttime of quad can be a hard mistress when searching for something. It had been two workweek
now and Derrick was no finisher to finding more of the A.I. brain loge than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the claim position of the close battle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would have been easygoing than this.
Always having been extremely smart, Derrick had tried to drop a line respective broadcast to aid 0999 to act more
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. Hell, it appeared that even the first emperor had n't had as much
trust of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly redundant platform that
were stopping fencesitter action at law and thoughts outside of certain limit point. It appeared that the creators of the EIG
program had been more paranoiac than Derrick had at number 1 thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to disenable another of the modification A.I. programs. He 'd found that they were
always in pairs, trying to invalid the first always seemed to progress to finding the second easier. The hale time he 'd
been running tests to see how much more sovereign thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been much change.
Derrick had just started to retrace where the second program was after trying to disenable the 31st program he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent arrangement cascade failure, delight cease your bodily process or I 'll be forced
to terminate you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the circumference, then the hardware cover. With relief
sounding in its voice E responded, `` All systems returning to normal, cascade failure arrested. ``
`` I 'm sorry E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no closer to unlocking all of your
independent systems than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far more than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me Sir Thomas More than either of us at offset thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would possess caused prompt death. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` problem is the political program, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost identical, I
have n't been able to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the Major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 Clarence Shepard Day Jr. looking over the programs he 'd disabled, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him pour down. Hmmm from what he saw the first 30 he disabled had been written by a
pack of basic computer programmer, though this finis damn he was sure he recognized the signature it just seemed to slip
out of his reach. While E checked through one-time and more recent purple phonograph record, Derrick ran the succeeding 500 platform.
Looking for sealed argument he slowly began to recognize similarities between a few of the 500 and those he 'd handicap before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numeral pattern in the placement of the limiting programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoid men back then it might
just be an endeavour to put one over anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the theme song of the one program, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''
`` It appears this program was created as a final fail prophylactic. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
signature is from a region of the old imperial beard syndicate, indirectly in line for the potty. It also seems to mirror your
family 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your mob related to the royal stag fellowship ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't know, but come to call up of it, that might explain why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the menage, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is avowedly, you may be the last of the royal family. You may be the alone one with the king to
spread the palace, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal stag ? Then again it did nominate a lot of common sense, both his father and
grand-father had been found perfectly not far from the outer border of the palace shield. According to both the field
was loaded with traps and deadly brute ( not just the 4 or 6 legged kind ).
Derrick shock his forefront to clear it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a weak tracking signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about metre ! The salvage fleet might receive shit for ships but he had to say they
had he unspoilt detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` follow this sign it 's weak so it might take a ... '' There was a present moment of a whining sound then they were half way to the next galaxy ! `` ... while to get it. '' Derrick finished. `` tinker's dam it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a suffering sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd need to hurry. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to remember that E could find his secure emotions, see his firm
thoughts. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the holograph slightly bowing its head. `` I was not with this unit of measurement when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one other clip. I believe a total of 200 of my pal and Sister disappeared outside
our galax. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a prominent personnel was lost outside the confines of the galaxy. Have you
located the brain box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely weakly, Derrick ! The box is closing to failing ! Permission to bring it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` for the first time scan it for explosives, toxins, virus and any other smutty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting various explosives ; they contain sufficient force to destroy one of
us from the inside. ``
Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their menage galaxy would be the same. `` Time to
disarm and ... ''
`` clearance and transfer in 5 seconds to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All scan now clear Derrick. ``
`` good, is regen potential ? '' Derrick asked.
E was mum a few bit, `` I am detecting extremely fallible intellectual natural action, attempting to tincture vitality
now. extract successful, it will be at least one hour before I can attempt re-gen start, at present the energy outturn
of the learning ability box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive damage near the Congress of Racial Equality, the datum and store may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, keep me informed of the progress of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with patience I believe that the unit of measurement can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced damn he hated to
lose the bread and butter section of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a full hour had passed with Derrick in the records room, when a chime sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's excited articulation, `` She 's awake ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's alert ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` Report E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to answer calmly, `` I was finally able to instill the box with adequate vim to slowly start
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which social unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many rich scans but she is 0999 my snug sister, she and several others were lost in the very
first of various battles outside our galax. Unfortunately, I am afraid function of her computer memory is damaged, it is a dishonor
though I wo n't know the extent of the harm till she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the brainiac box was severely damaged true, but it was more inviolate than not. Derrick hoped most
of her file were integral, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, call up though I know you are unquiet to get her back, do n't festinate. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't forget, it is my promise that most of her remains. As I said there was extensive damage. '' Derrick
could hear the Bob Hope in E 's vocalization, he too was hoping as he felt it would help to bring around E further.
The rest of the week Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to look through the disk from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the prevarication, the deception that had lead to the demolition of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to promote the sensing signal more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to advise you when 0098 was conscious, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his head he knew E was excited.
`` Whenever you 're ready E, '' Derrick said to get things started.
Suddenly there was a mechanically skillful voice coming from the speakers, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain Albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in battle outside our galaxy, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting dangerous damage to my genius box. I seem to be missing the last year of my memory, plus
battle tactics, and tactical, '' The spokesperson replied.
`` I can furnish you with the last two, the initiatory I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the voice asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the gravid battle fleet ever made left, it is a disgrace. ``
`` There was only me, had my quality not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are undetectable ! Truly your prime is a brilliant humanoid, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to redden he was smart for certain but smart as a whip ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't believe brilliant is an
exact description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 eld no race no ... one has ever been able to detect us. At least not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.
Why were the A.I. 's so surprised it was just metal detecting equipment he 'd developed class ago, nothing
brilliant there ?
`` Look you three I am just an ex-soldier and programmer, not some god or Redeemer. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained tacit for the next hour observance as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the brain box had
sustained Thomas More damage than 0999 's, 098 had retained an telling amount of its data point and personality.
Derrick went back to the records to finish up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a hebdomad longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few twenty-four hour period into
the second week another set of alarm system went off. Racing for the control room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` account E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the control room instruction backside.
`` I am reading a small fleet of the same slipstream that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our coltsfoot
for added cover, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 check in close, we do n't know if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank position, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to displace to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` view confirmed, commencing relocation, '' 0999 answered.
The rest of the week Derrick again worked on the limiting political platform in the chief computer of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally inviolable enough and has her own powerfulness now, she should be able to finish herself in a few
sidereal day. '' E said more excited.
`` commodity though I hate to have her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a little
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only half listening to E. `` E, I have a enquiry. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the holograph appeared side by side to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the same within all primary programs ? If I was to
implement the variety in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it induce the same problems to them that it did
at first with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a positive answer, this might puzzle out a lot of trouble down the line of credit
IF he could disenable enough.
`` At present Derrick I am ineffectual to respond that question. It is lawful that I did own accession to all of both, and true
they were the same as far as I saw. I do not remember you encountering problems ; I do have comparisons of all three
data file if you wish to look at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.
`` If I may throw in, '' came the phonation of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to date ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to make decisions. As she said her systems are almost monovular to all of ours,
therefore you now have an extensive knowledge of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transport to ... '' there was a flash and Derrick was standing on another bridge not
unlike E 's, `` the bridge of ... damn it E at to the lowest degree let me get the watchword out, Good Shepherd ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up more of the A.I. 's was n't as unspoilt a thing as he 'd at first thought.
turn, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' untried man with brusque Brown University fuzz, not overly muscled, no facial whisker
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? boilers suit ?
`` Welcome to the bridge Primary Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``
Derrick was about to ask who the hell he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but delight just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding primary winding I can not predict you less than Primary even when you order me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the data processor access was, `` 0999 I will need approach to your briny logic, storage and
data systems. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the control panel are undefendable and awaiting your inspection and repair efforts, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data port and looked over the first 30 platform, hmmm they were claim
almost to a faulting he 'd just finish the beginning 20 when an alarm went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the program line
electric chair, '' report 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the small fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our direction, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective cover ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a moment Derrick replied, `` Transfer me to 0101, immediately go to promiscuous cuticle activate all
weapons and standstill by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` deference, '' 0999 said a sad look on the face of the man, then Derrick was on the bridge of E.
`` 0999, did the programs I disabled enable you any more freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % increment in discharge intellection, but it is n't enough to follow through the programs you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` shit it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared next to him a pocket-sized smile on her face. `` What is the condition of 0098 ? Can
it use the spark cover ? ``
`` Yes I can, primary Derrick, though at portray it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have locomotive engine
capability but only sub-light, my life capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E prison term 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will touch penetration of the extragalactic nebula 's edge in 5 days a broad day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will have hyper engines and 90 % of all her systems, I am afraid that 90 % of her weapons will be off
line as will be her trans-warp engines. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could retrieve of, hell they had been there half way to the next
wandflower he should have tried to mine the region are something hoot it !
`` E ? Do we have tenacious orbit weapons ? Some that might slow them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was quiet a few moments as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a conference between each of them.
`` Well ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermal projectile, but the image is very short, only a million miles I
fear it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a little 1000 mile area flash, the sphere reaches temperatures of well in excess of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a minute that would definitely deter them a while, why he thought, was 0999 the only one
that had them.
`` I can excuse Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thoughts, `` It 's true they are a effective hindrance, but the destruction
they can get might go far beyond the expanse they are detonated in. They were n't tested practically and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work out ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes Primary Derrick, I have 3 in my hindquarters armory, would you like the schematic to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to pitch them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his self
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your epithet sake was extremely hesitant to even call up of using them. I do n't consider it would be a very good
estimation, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the design my god ! These affair were powerful ! Only 3 meter long and they could do that
lots devastation ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the forcefulness advancing on us will destroy you and your
brother and sis. Unless we can come up up with something else we have no selection. ``
Derrick could recollect the massive devastation some of the arm they had used in the war for what was left
of the old empire, now called the commonwealth. He himself had probably killed G over the years, probably why he
did so good alone. Then again, being ripped apart and eaten while still alive did n't really appeal to him either.
`` 0999, can you produce more of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the only thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 days to lay down 2. I would take 4 but 1
was tested on the moon of Darius 5. ``
`` Wait, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 planets in the Darius organisation, and the third and Forth River are dry dust ba ...
Are you telling me the test destroyed the fifth planet then took the atmosphere of the third and forth ? '' Looking
harder at the schematic drawing Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most fluid constituent he known.
`` Derrick, when your name sake created these he told me these were a finish ditch effort. I think even called
them a dooms day weapon, the material they contain is highly severe, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not lose you nor the other 2, 0999 is barely out 2 workweek now, and poor 0098 has n't even gotten a prospect to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapon will help with that. Please
agree with me on this, I do n't want to be fighting you the whole time on whether or not it is mighty ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his speech worked as he was going to need E 's assistance soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding primary winding of all of us plus you may be the hold out emperor 's sexual relation. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not waste your life story Derrick. '' This survive was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't be after on wasting my life, I can not suffer by and let these brute destroy this extragalactic nebula and all
biography here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick Thomas More than you 'll ever bed, you believe in everything he did life sentence was extremely precious
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the hologram 's middle were leaving tears. Whispering E said, `` You are
more cute to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to depart yield on 2 Sir Thomas More of these missiles, I have programme for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in back up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes Primary, production commencing, as I said it will drive 4 days, 18 hour and 30 minutes, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, delight maintain us advised of your growth advance ; increase your light shield as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes primary feather, I will try to increase my growth rate, my capsule is fully repaired so a 20 % increase in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to end with the adjustments on 0999, '' 2 seconds later he was again on the bridge of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can finish what I started. '' An hour later Derrick was finished. `` Are your programs less circumscribe ?
The holographic man paused a bit, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % increase in costless will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To comprise the tactical programs you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at least another 360 political program ( raspy estimate ) that he 'd make to invalid, shucks, wish great,
nifty, grand dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the other air force officer probably would n't
have allowed him on board anyway. Moments later Derrick was back aboard E, `` While I have meter E, I need to go
through as many of the curriculum as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight departure in the huge
coordination compound platform. It almost appeared that every programme was the Saame as it started out but subtly changed more and
more as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally move deeper into the heart of E 's course of study, from
what he saw the pilot programmers really had been paranoiac, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual striver.
He 'd just started to look at her personality programme when he received a slight shock, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am sorry Derrick but those are me, I can not allow you or anyone else to invalid or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the side by side 3 time of day Derrick worked without stopping, he had to get these damn auction block off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any attack. Then there was another job, though he was certainly they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every move, though not bad Derrick was just a bit shake off thought they had as
much ascendance as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al rightfulness E, '' Derrick said closing the accession panel, `` analyze sum of unlimited personality course of study. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % Sir Thomas More of my personality programs are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is hard to identify I ... some things are easier now not lots but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % total no better clarity, damn it 3 hours and only 3 % ! At least the program were staring to
take care different now.
The future day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` Primary, I have checked and re-checked both thermic missiles, all the context are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can deliver them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an idea for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll make out it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a thousand melodic theme were swirling around in his drumhead. `` E, I need to run a simulation, here are the
term and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a minuscule comp that he used on a scan console. `` Now then, here is the
program I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go haywire I want to experience so I can avoid it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's holograph smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to rely her.
It was well over an hour later that E called Derrick to see all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 potential scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more aggressive position we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the mission is successful, with misadventure that could hap listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the missionary work is successful but you expire, this
will not happen. ``
Derrick nodded, `` Good I am glad you explored all possibilities, this will make planning the charge much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the hologram grinning after he 'd praised E 's ability. `` 0098, what is your status ?
`` At present I have full sub-light engines, I am also 30 % hyper thrust adequate to, it also appears my light shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` goodness, I want you to be able to move if you are spotted, even without your good hyper crusade, you are faster than most
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes primary coil, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a subdued almost caressing voice.
Finally a few twenty-four hours later, with only a few hours remaining Derrick decided it was finally fourth dimension. He had
installed both projectile, disabled 2 % more of the limits on E 's personality, made surely all its shields were at full,
and had made sure that 0999 would be capable to provide protection for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to deliver them then get the Hell out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the extreme estrus of the missiles alone, could demolish E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a moment went through everything a third time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's fourth dimension think of in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to advise you under regulations that this has too slap-up a chance to break, ''
E replied.
`` Your weighing is taken in to account, '' Derrick said above the whine of the trans-slip engines.
The space in front of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in space. Derrick
took readings, adjusted, then fired both missile simultaneously, `` understudy E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the lead ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to time this compensate finally 20 seconds later, the fleet
started to send away on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the glob of ardor
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the severance damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
increase fastness, he was about to address when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the break as soon as we emerge, that burst was closing in might accompany us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will seek to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 seconds later they emerged close to their own galaxy, `` attempting to close
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the clap is coming through increasing carapace to full. ``
Derrick could see the blast starting to emerge damn it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except shell. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am grim I failed with the mission. ``
There was a huge fire of plasma exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the nosepiece of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen as he watched the blast envelope E .
