Lost Empire 2 ( 1 )
The cold and grim dark of space can be a laborious schoolmarm when searching for something. It had been two hebdomad
now and Derrick was no closer to finding more of the A.I. brain boxes than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the precise position of the last battle and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would have been easier than this.
Always having been extremely impudent, Derrick had tried to pen several program to aid 0999 to act Sir Thomas More
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. Hell, it appeared that even the initiative emperor had n't had as a great deal
trust of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly tautological programs that
were stopping autonomous actions and sentiment outside of sure limits. It appeared that the creators of the EIG
programs had been more paranoid than Derrick had at first thought.
Sighing, Derrick tried again to invalid another of the limiting A.I. programs. He 'd found that they were
always in duad, trying to disenable the firstly always seemed to attain finding the second easier. The all clock time he 'd
been running tests to see how much more autonomous thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been a great deal change.
Derrick had just started to trace where the arcsecond program was after trying to disable the 31st broadcast he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent system cascade down loser, please cease your activity or I 'll be forced
to terminate you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the tour, then the hardware cover. With respite
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
autonomous organisation than I was. ``
`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far More than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me more than either of us at low gear opinion. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would have caused prompt death. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` job is the programs, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost identical, I
have n't been able-bodied to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the major one I just found. ``
Derrick spent another 2 days looking over the political platform he 'd disenable, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him shoot down. Hmmm from what he saw the first 30 he disabled had been written by a
multitude of staple programmers, though this live on darn he was sure he recognized the signature it just seemed to sneak
out of his clench. While E checked through older and more Holocene regal phonograph record, Derrick ran the future 500 political platform.
look for sealed parameters he slowly began to recognize similarities between a few of the 500 and those he 'd disabled before.
Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numerical shape in the placement of the limiting programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the practice held up, but knowing those paranoid men back then it might
just be an attempt to arse around anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the signature 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 rubber. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
key signature is from a function of the old imperial kin, indirectly in railway line for the potty. It also seems to mirror your
family 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your family related to the royal stag family ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't sleep together, but come to think of it, that might explain why my Fatherhood and grand-father were so
secretive about the family, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is true, you may be the last of the royal family. You may be the only one with the magnate to
give the palace, '' E stated excitedly.
Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal ? Then again it did make a lot of mother wit, both his father and
grand-father had been found idle not far from the outer perimeter of the palace shield. According to both the field
was loaded with yap and deadly animal ( not just the 4 or 6 legged kind ).
Derrick shock his head to take in 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 cross signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about clock time ! The salvage fleet might birth shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` follow this signal it 's weak so it might take a ... '' There was a moment of a whining speech sound then they were half way to the adjacent galaxy ! `` ... while to find it. '' Derrick finished. `` shit it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a harm sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd want to hurry. ``
Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to think back that E could palpate his strongest emotions, hear his strong
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 whole when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one other time. I believe a total of 200 of my chum and babe disappeared outside
our galaxy. ``
`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a expectant strength was lost outside the confines of the galaxy. Have you
located the brain box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the sign is extremely weak, Derrick ! The box is stuffy to failing ! Permission to bring it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` 1st scan it for explosives, toxins, computer virus and any other foul 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 home beetleweed would be the same. `` metre to
disarm and ... ''
`` headroom and transplant in 5 second base to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All scans now clear Derrick. ``
`` commodity, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.
E was silent a few moments, `` I am detecting extremely weak cerebral natural process, attempting to tincture vigour
now. infusion successful, it will be at least one time of day before I can attempt re-gen outset, at demonstrate the vigour end product
of the brain box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive damage near the core, the data point and remembering 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 can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced hoot he hated to
lose the living surgical incision of one of the ships just as they had found it.
Almost a good hour had passed with Derrick in the record room, when a chime sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's excited representative, `` She 's awake ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's active ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` Report E, '' Derrick ordered.
Sobering, E tried to do calmly, `` I was finally able to infuse the box with enough energy to slowly start
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which whole it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many deep scans but she is 0999 my closelipped sis, she and various others were lost in the very
first of various struggle outside our Galax urceolata. Unfortunately, I am afraid part of her retentiveness is damaged, it is a dishonor
though I wo n't know the extent of the damage money box she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the brain box was severely damaged honest, but it was more inviolate than not. Derrick hoped most
of her single file were intact, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.
`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, recollect though I know you are dying to get her back, do n't rush. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't forget, it is my hope that most of her cadaver. As I said there was extensive damage. '' Derrick
could see the hope in E 's spokesperson, he too was hoping as he felt it would help to heal E further.
The rest of the calendar week Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to look through the records from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the lies, the deception that had lead to the wipeout of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to boost the detection sign 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 thing started.
Suddenly there was a mechanical voice coming from the talker, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain Albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in struggle outside our wandflower, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting grievous damage to my mental capacity box. I seem to be missing the final year of my computer memory, plus
battle tactics, and tactical, '' The voice replied.
`` I can furnish you with the last two, the first I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.
`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the vox asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the greatest battle fleet ever made left, it is a shame. ``
`` There was only me, had my prime 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 superb android, '' 0098 stated.
Derrick began to blush he was smart trusted but bright ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't think brilliant is an
exact verbal description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 years no wash no ... one has ever been able-bodied to notice 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 years ago, null
brilliant there ?
`` Look you three I am just an ex-soldier and coder, not some god or Savior. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained understood for the next hour watching as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the learning ability box had
sustained more than damage than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive amount of money of its datum and personality.
Derrick went back to the platter to finish up on 0999 's records.
Much as E had predicted it took a week longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few mean solar day into
the bit week another set of dismay went off. Racing for the ascendency room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` Report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the dominance room command seat.
`` I am reading a small fleet of the same race that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our galaxy
for added cover, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 stop in close, we do n't recognise if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank perspective, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to move to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Position confirmed, commencing resettlement, '' 0999 answered.
The rest of the week Derrick again worked on the limiting program in the primary calculator of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally substantial enough and has her own world power now, she should be able to finish herself in a few
Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. '' E said more excited.
`` trade good though I hate to let 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 question. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' the holograph appeared next to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the same within all primary programs ? If I was to
implement the modification in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it cause the same problem to them that it did
at initiative with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a positive result, this might puzzle out a lot of job down the railway line
IF he could disenable enough.
`` At present Derrick I am unable to reply that question. It is true that I did accept approach to all of both, and true
they were the Saami as far as I saw. I do not commemorate you encountering problems ; I do have equivalence of all three
data files if you wish to front 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 inject, '' came the voice of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to date ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % more freedom to stool conclusion. As she said her systems are almost selfsame to all of ours,
therefore you now have an blanket cognition of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transport to ... '' there was a split second and Derrick was standing on another bridgework not
unlike E 's, `` the bridge deck of ... damn it E at least let me get the words out, Christ ! ``
`` 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 beneficial a thing as he 'd at low gear thought.
turn, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' young man with short brownish haircloth, not overly muscled, no seventh cranial nerve hair's-breadth
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 I can not holler you to a lesser extent than Primary even when you order me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the electronic computer access was, `` 0999 I will ask access to your main system of logic, memory and
data point systems. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the control panel are open and awaiting your inspection and fixture drive, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data port and looked over the foremost 30 course of study, hmmm they were exact
almost to a fault he 'd just eat up the number 1 20 when an alarum went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the command
chair, '' story 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the small fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our counsel, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective cover ? '' 0999 asked
Looking up a instant Derrick replied, `` Transfer me to 0101, immediately go to light shield activate all
weapons and stand by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Compliance, '' 0999 said a sad look on the nerve of the man, then Derrick was on the bridge of E.
`` 0999, did the programs I disabled enable you any more than freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % increase in give up cerebration, but it is n't enough to implement the programs you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` Damn it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared next to him a small smile on her face. `` What is the status of 0098 ? Can
it use the light screen ? ``
`` Yes I can, Primary Derrick, though at present it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have locomotive engine
capabilities but only sub-light, my life ejection seat is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E time 'til ... '' Derrick asked.
`` The fleet will pass penetration of the beetleweed 's edge in 5 mean solar day a full day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will birth hyper engines and 90 % of all her systems, I am afraid that 90 % of her weapon system will be off
tune as will be her trans-warp engine. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could conceive of, hell they had been there one-half way to the next
coltsfoot he should have tried to mine the region are something damn it !
`` E ? Do we have retentive mountain range weapon ? Some that might slow them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was quiet a few minute as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a league between each of them.
`` well ... '' started 0999. `` I have a case of homing thermic missile, but the range is very short, only a million miles I
reverence it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a small 1000 international nautical mile area wink, the expanse reaches temperatures of well in excess of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.
Derrick thought for a moment that would definitely deter them a while, why he thought, was 0999 the exclusively one
that had them.
`` I can excuse Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thought process, `` It 's true they are a honorable deterrent, but the wipeout
they can cause might go far beyond the orbit they are detonated in. They were n't tested a good deal and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes Primary Derrick, I have 3 in my rear armory, would you like the schematic drawing to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to deliver them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his self
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your name sake was extremely hesitant to even think of using them. I do n't trust it would be a very beneficial
idea, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the plans my god ! These thing were hefty ! Only 3 meter long and they could do that
much devastation ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the force advancing on us will destroy you and your
brother and sister. Unless we can come up with something else we have no choice. ``
Derrick could retrieve the monolithic destruction some of the weapon they had used in the war for what was left
of the old empire, now called the Republic. He himself had probably killed thousands over the years, probably why he
did so thoroughly alone. Then again, being ripped apart and use up while still alive did n't really appeal to him either.
`` 0999, can you produce more of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the alone thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 years to make 2. I would consume 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 gear and forth are dry dust ba ...
Are you telling me the tryout destroyed the fifth satellite then took the atmosphere of the third gear and Forth River ? '' Looking
harder at the schematics Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most precarious component he known.
`` Derrick, when your figure sake created these he told me these were a last ditch effort. I think even called
them a dooms day weapon, the material they contain is highly grievous, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not lose you nor the early 2, 0999 is barely out 2 calendar week now, and misfortunate 0098 has n't even produce a hazard to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapon system 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 right ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his delivery worked as he was going to postulate E 's help soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding Primary of all of us plus you may be the last Saturnia pavonia 's relation. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not waste your life Derrick. '' This finally was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.
`` E, I do n't design on wasting my animation, I can not stand by and let these creatures destroy this galaxy and all
liveliness here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick more than you 'll ever love, you believe in everything he did living was extremely treasured
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the hologram 's optic were leaving tears. Whispering E said, `` You are
more precious to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to pop out production on 2 to a greater extent of these projectile, I have design 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 take 4 sidereal day, 18 minute and 30 transactions, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please keep us advised of your growth onward motion ; increase your light cuticle as soon as it is possible. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes primary election, I will try to increase my ontogeny rate, my abridgment is fully repaired so a 20 % increase in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.
`` E, I need to end up with the adjustments on 0999, '' 2 bit later he was again on the bridge of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can wind up what I started. '' An hour later Derrick was finished. `` Are your political platform less limited ?
The holographic man paused a consequence, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % increase in unfreeze will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To contain the tactical programs you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at to the lowest degree another 360 program ( jumpy estimate ) that he 'd birth to disable, damn, wish bully,
great, grand dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the former commanders probably would n't
have allowed him on plug-in anyway. Moments later Derrick was back on board E, `` While I have fourth dimension E, I need to go
through as many of the programs as I can, '' Derrick said.
Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see slight deviation in the huge
building complex course of study. It almost appeared that every programme was the Saami as it started out but subtly changed more and
more than as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally move deeper into the heart of E 's programs, from
what he saw the original programmers really had been paranoid, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual hard worker.
He 'd just started to look at her personality programs when he received a tenuous cushion, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am sorry Derrick but those are me, I can not allow you or anyone else to disable or blue-pencil them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.
For the next 3 hr Derrick worked without fillet, he had to get these shucks blocks off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any blast. Then there was another problem, though he was surely 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 shaken thinking they had as
much ascendance as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right E, '' Derrick said closing the admittance panel, `` analyze amount of unlimited personality programs. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % more of my personality programs are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is hard to describe I ... some things are easier now not practically but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % number no better limpidity, curse it 3 hours and only 3 % ! At to the lowest degree the programs were staring to
appear 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 setting are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can pitch them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an mind for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll know it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a K estimate were swirling around in his oral sex. `` E, I need to run a feigning, here are the
condition and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a little comp that he used on a scan console. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go haywire I want to know so I can avoid it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's hologram smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to swear her.
It was well over an hour later that E called Derrick to look at all the resolution that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more aggressive position we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the missionary work is successful, with mishaps that could happen listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the charge is successful but you expire, this
will not happen. ``
Derrick nodded, `` skillful I am glad you explored all possibleness, this will clear planning the mission much well-to-do. ``
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 drive equal to, it also appears my light carapace is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` Good, I want you to be able to move if you are spotted, even without your total hyper drive, you are faster than nigh
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes Primary, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a sonant almost caressing voice.
Finally a few days later, with only a few hours remaining Derrick decided it was finally sentence. He had
installed both missile, disabled 2 % Sir Thomas More of the limitation on E 's personality, made sure all its shields were at full moon,
and had made sure that 0999 would be able to ply protection for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to deliver them then get the netherworld out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the uttermost passion of the projectile 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 time remember in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to advise you under regularization that this has too expectant a fortune to fail, ''
E replied.
`` Your advisement is taken in to describe, '' 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 bend in blank. Derrick
took indication, adjusted, then fired both missiles simultaneously, `` standby E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the steer ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to metre this right finally 20 moment later, the fleet
started to evoke on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the ball of ardour
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the severance damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
increase speed, he was about to utter when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to shut the rift as soon as we emerge, that burst was closing in might survey us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will attempt to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 moment later they emerged close to their own galaxy, `` attempting to close
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the blast is coming through increasing cuticle to full. ``
Derrick could see the attack starting to issue beshrew it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except carapace. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am deplorable I failed with the deputation. ``
There was a huge blast of plasma exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen as he watched the flack envelope E .
