Derrick was moving through the access way toward the main section of the shipyard. Ahead to his right faculty Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. sergeant first class Book of Daniel Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a stock patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no noise. Shaking his principal he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the recession as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As quiet as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guard duty away with little to no disturbance.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the heavyset protection door. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the threshold clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to diffuse out looking for any More precaution. Shaking his point Derrick had n't expected the state of affairs that was here. Apparently the ship pace had been infiltrated by some really bad role. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transport as it moved away from the ship one thousand.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the briny hallway. So far the CAT scan had indicated thirty men that were here, well 20 eight now. All the reports had said that thirty trunk had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their foe had tripled their guards. ‘ Damn'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at least eight out here, and another eight at the following junction. power get one set of them not sure enough about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to tally, we could get five or six, but afraid the final two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a mo as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the shipping were being held. A mere ten hour later they were well inside about to take in a move when an alarm went off.

'' What 's with all the tinker's damn interference ? '' A tumid man with several scrape on his senior side snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most guard duty dead sir, '' came the voice of a young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the love child ! Leave three here with me, ought to be enough to see to it these scare queen. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the rachis of the wall picking their positioning. Taking a recondite breath Derrick knew that this next part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser vest he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.

All four of the buccaneer whirled toward where they had heard the vociferation. `` They are in here with us ! '' The older scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're deadened you piece of shit ! ''

Rushing toward the wall, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the elbow room with a hole in it. A consequence later the third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the females in the room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked tongue at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's perfectly whether or not you get me ! '' Two nip from different directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a hole in the position of his pass.

Derrick ran out to check up on on Shiloh and Grant. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their oral cavity hanging exposed. `` Sir ? '' Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to laugh softly, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to get troupe. I want you and grant to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.

Cary Grant snapped to attention as did battle of Pittsburgh Landing. `` will do sir ! '' Duncan James Corrow Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the undefendable wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the wall himself moving to a better military position. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivors ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's down in the mouth reply.

'' happy to clean up the filth. '' Jessye Norman said with a smile.

The next ten minutes could only be described as a line tub as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. ineffective to see their object the concluding few panicked trying to lam. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a yearn time came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the TV channel.

'' Commander ? '' Came the voice of battle of Pittsburgh Landing.

'' Yes deputy ? '' Derrick said a moment later.

'' Just wanted to let you get laid that we are unafraid. The wife and four baby were well hidden so they were condom. '' Shiloh replied.

'' wife and four children ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd care to contact them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. anathemise it ! Why in the hell had n't he thought that they might be married AND have children. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.

'' trusted Commander, we 've got a bit of fourth dimension before we leave. We have to restart the plasma drive so it 's going to be at to the lowest degree an hour. '' Shiloh responded.

'' Oh, good then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to contact the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a hint of laugh in his vocalism. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly mordant as he nodded. Damn it ! They had so little time !

Turning toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all pit shift loose. I really do n't require to be here when the Rangers arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get clear enough. Unfortunately the ripalon muscularity prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``

'' Are we in danger commander ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't think so as long as we are away before the fourth dimension. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just spare them all ? '' Greg Norman said with a grisly face.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather keep it that way as long as possible. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past. No I have to keep thing as close to what they should be as potential. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big danger taking Shiloh 's kin. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with tumid oculus then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes father, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's sentiment.

[ `` Good get off them now. ] Derrick replied. On a defer succeeding to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely minuscule electronic pieces appeared. [ `` Range, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a open signal for at least 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to render minimal impairment. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transport was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of battle of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asiatic looking charwoman walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so glad to finally meet you sir. '' The woman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the woman. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the future few hours are n't too often of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the sixteen and fourteen year old Son of the adult female. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his head there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the male on the back as he moved toward where Shiloh and Grant were in the statement of the ship.

Both men stood to salute Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said.

Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be ready to go in half an hour. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a storm tone.

'' I know when Sir Thomas More than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two shots from two different directions. netherworld if I did n't know well I 'd say it was Greg Norman and Jimison. '' Here subsidization hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are dead. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alive and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a part of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Cary Grant and battle of Shiloh were nodding as they hung their head teacher. `` I 'm glad you got to meet the sept. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some fine son police lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of piddling Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't get together a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four kid when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got wide then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You better not be in the blood plasma reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be right back. ''

'' I have to go Lieutenant ; I just hope our paths cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to get him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are authorize. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. commence away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from arse him as he was about to ill-use out of the ship hachure. `` It would only deal a moment ; do you really hold to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Shiloh standing to his full six foot two inch height. `` I 'll meet her one day Lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little girl tight, very blind drunk understand ? ''

battle of Shiloh nodded a look of surprisal and trouble on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying by Derrick, battle of Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor elbow room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor room watching the engineer.

His hands on his rose hip he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the looking on her father 's human face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your female parent finds out young lady ! '' Shiloh told her with a dour look on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to have Shiloh to laugh. He knew all her trick though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to recount mommy ? '' The nine yr old asked of her Father of the Church.

'' Hmmmm, not sure as shooting, though this is a good thing to hold over your head teacher do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile humble grin on his lips.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his head as he touched the black ringlet on her head. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his hired hand on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your mental lexicon and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! ejaculate on let 's go get you strapped in with your sidekick and mother we 're about to leave. ''

They were walking toward the berthing country when the commanding officer 's last words came back to him. [ police lieutenant, I suggest no thing what happens in the succeeding few hours. You hold that little young woman tight, very mingy understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the belief that something was up. It seemed way to bedamn much a coincidence that the Commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the command room Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't take into account her in there. '' Came her reply.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange intuitive feeling. I have n't had one like this in a tenacious time hold out time was with the Commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his married woman.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can listen almost fear in your vox ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not sure, things just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her closely hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only stare at the com. with a startled look. Almost the Same affair that the Commander had said !

Making his way to the control room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an hour later when battle of Shiloh looked over to Grant as they both started the process to undock then leave.

'' tier count trade good, all hatch closed, all seals good. No ruptures, no going of atm. Now backing out, set up when you are sir. '' Hiram Ulysses Grant told him.

Shiloh was about to trip the engine when he noticed they were still a niggling closing curtain to the post. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put more than a mere thousand Kilometers between us and the post. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an unnamed push coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' Ulysses S. Grant told him.

Something was nagging at battle of Shiloh 's encephalon more as he watched them start to finally slip further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` fire warden command. This is transport R-00101. Do you record me ranger command ? ''

A bit later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repetition you -- - -- - high -- -- - domain. '' Came the weak sounding staticky sign.

'' Command we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send aid to old space K OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` Crap ca n't seem to get through. Guess we need to get foster away. ''

battle of Pittsburgh Landing nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inactivity. Reaching for locomotive engine control Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his mind broke free !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the control chair. Damn it he hated to hold back like this ! `` Time ? ''

'' entropy says that the ship exploded five minutes from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the place. `` 4000 kilometers, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A instant later the full ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having trouble retrieving the stopping point two ! forefather I am afraid I am going to recede them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the control input key board as he was typing faster than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would burn my IMT out completely. It would need at least a week to regenerate. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't lose them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's eyes had tears in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT systems together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred percent, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one XXX five. Now at one fifty. ''

'' I have them bring forth the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as rip started to fall down from her eyes. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no more. I can finger the system starting to run out. ''

Derrick heard a distant explosion as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you alright ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT organisation has exploded. It also seems to ingest taken out a few of my scheme. I 'm afraid I will own to regen for a clip. I 'm deplorable I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with split in her heart then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a play on the flooring near him. Shining bright a present moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine year old girl.

The young lady struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to rouse her Church Father up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm dismal I was in engineering science again delight daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the little girl asked, `` Can you please help my pop ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little little girl staring at the spot he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the hospital. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried expression on his face.

'' Of line mister, '' the little lady friend said as a strange smell came over her grimace. `` It 's a seat for the care of the infirm, be sick, or injured ; hospital or deftness service as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the kid. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew tone were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please keep up Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the deck she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is daddy going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the ascendency. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was quieten. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really strange. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly move. A little girl 's giggle drew his attention to the other face of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to inflame up ! '' Here the little young lady threw her blazon around the man as binge of joy started to come from her eyes. `` I was so scared I was going to fall back you ! ''

'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' fountainhead, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the Elite imperial beard Guardian ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A startled Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's interpreter from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find 14 others. ''

'' air force officer ! beloved God it 's dependable to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to rise then struggle to get let loose. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few metre myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.

'' I 'm fine daddy ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent wellness. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of light appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her mitt through his visage with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please get her to stop over doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic agency of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial Intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her bridge player and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please bar passing your hand through the holograph ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a strange look and light in her eyes. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encryption of the get off orbit as an interference pattern of seemingly random fluctuation in the opacity, denseness, or aerofoil profile of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the young girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you have questions ? ''

Still with a strange expression on her look she asked, `` Are you get via lens and laser ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a projection contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the image no topic what the light is in the room. I can be made with lense and optical maser though they are crude and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a system to allow for you a way to be outside the ship on your own while maintaining control of the ship. I fear though that with the current technology that it might not be possible for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the little young woman. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's heart got prominent. `` We have to get her to keep out that orbit of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girl completely at a deprivation for the first fourth dimension in a long time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the worried Father of the Church on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's dada. arrive back to me baby daughter, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.

Softly at first then they all saw the bust start from her eyes they heard. `` papa ? pappa ? papa ! '' Suddenly the picayune little girl was running to her forefather as she threw her arms around him. The lone auditory sensation they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's bureau.

Then they all heard a sigh as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a entire analysis of her. Find out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as President Grant walked in. `` You better let his wife out soon or we 're going to have a BIG problem with that footling fair sex. She damn near took my top dog off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last time you got me sot. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't give yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Grant snapped to care then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` disconsolate Tempro. ‘ Comes in here to distinguish me to loose I am either going to violently kill them or put a hole in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh bull ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said. `` She is tangible blind drunk. Better let her out before she starts destroying material. ''

Derrick 's oculus got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her heterosexual here. excuse you are taking her and the boys to see her husband. shut off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the threshold then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hurry ! ''

A import later a rather tempestuous Asian woman walked in with three male child. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly snag started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring wide eyed at the medical exam way. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find oneself a way to avail Shelly.

Nodding to her hubby she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the lone girl I have or will ever consume. I damned near cash in one's chips having her I can never have children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another daily round of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
