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 time was back to where it should be. Feeling the disc in his plurality, he cursed he still had to get that one in Mary.

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

Back in the castle Gregor was still searching when he got a technology alarum. Looking at his wrist comp. his eye got turgid ! IMT technology ! So this cousin or whatever he was, had in his possession IMT engineering huh ? He had to contact his cousin as soon as possible. Something was n't sitting right with him about this mystery man.

On board Tempro, Derrick walked into the statement pack of cards. `` I am afraid that the IMT beam was detected. It was n't as sophisticate as in our clock time but it still picked up a residual track. '' Tempro advised Derrick.

'' Move us now ! '' Derrick ordered as Tempro moved the ship out of IMT range just in case. `` Are you detecting any polarity of chase or former scans ? '' Derrick asked.

'' No forefather not at the bit. It appears that you have now set in motion the forming of the two sect. I am afraid though that without the finale disc Blessed Virgin ceased to function a hundred long time before you became emperor moth. Almost all other factors are More where they should be. Also I am afraid that well-nigh of the habitable satellite were destroyed from many of the weapon that were scavenged from the wreckage of the palace. I 'm sorry 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 precautions that he 'd taken to do this finally 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 forepart of Mary ? ''

'' No sire. All parts of the main frame are shielded for almost everything. Also I am detecting added protection for entering any new data point into Madonna. '' Tempro told Derrick.

'' Alright beam 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 deep thought about the situation. `` Also I need updates about Shelby. ''

'' Yes forefather, at demo she is in almost full regen. I estimate she should be there a few more Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. I 'm sad father beyond that I can not say as the regen matrix plays hazard with the sensors. '' Tempro advised Derrick.

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

'' Sire it was n't your fault. Anyone of us would get done the Sami for you. You treat us more as partners rather than tools to be used and discarded. It means far Thomas More 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 than just childlike tools. In quite a lot of manner you are class 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 thought.



Lucie was on the edge of her seat, my god she thought the spokesperson is growing so weak ! `` We have to go faster Sherry ! The vocalisation is so weak ! I can barely listen it anymore ! '' Lucie suddenly cried.

'' Yes young lady Hartwell, increasing speed now ! '' A moment later they stopped beyond the bound of the extragalactic nebula. `` Now running scans attuned to the second standard the emperor gave us. As of yet I am not detecting anything. '' Sherry turned toward Lucie seeing that the young womanhood was again staring straight ahead.

'' I can barely hear it, '' Lucie was whispering. `` I can finger it so infirm straight person ahead ! '' Lucie suddenly said as Sherry started to advance forward. Sighing Lucie felt the voice, almost to a low susurration.

Even as they were moving forward a sudden alarm head start to sound. `` girl Lucie ! I am detecting it ! Very close only a million sea mile ! '' Sherry shouted excited.

'' upright ! Remember Sherry, same communications protocol as before. We have to spend a penny sure they are prophylactic for us before we bring them on board. '' Lucie advised Sherry.

'' Yes Miss Hartwell, now closing distance all scanners are at wide-cut. Now within a grand miles, running full phase of the moon phase angle of life-threatening volatile detection. '' Sherry informed Lucie.

'' clip to completion of CAT scan ? '' Lucie asked.

'' It should n't take long misfire Lucie. showtime scan complete now running secondary scan. '' Sherry said a second later. Lucie nodded as she watched the readings that were coming in. She still wished she could perceive even half of what she was seeing. She had to trust on Sherry, she still was n't for sure Sherry was that true with what had happened before.

Waiting on the lastly of the second exam to fetch up Sherry sighed. How in the hell was she going to be of service if she could n't empathize even half of what she saw ? A second later another alarm system was going off. Looking at the readings she nodded, even she understood what a high radiation reading was.

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

'' Yes Miss Hartwell, it should n't take more than an hour. Do you wish me to cover with the other three stage set of tests ? '' A aspirant Sherry replied.

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

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

Lucie nodded as she turned to walk away to the library. She hated to see Sherry so despondent, though after lastly time 's dear catastrophe she was going to throw trusted they all came back !

Lucie had just finished reading up on the different alarms, utterly boring, when Sherry called her. `` Miss Hartwell ? The Einstein box is free of severe radiation sickness. Shall I start the last of the instant electric battery of tests, or should I move on to the third gear set ? '' A now nervous sounding Sherry said.

'' Please eat up the second then go on to the residual. '' Lucie told Sherry watching her aspect drop.

'' Yes young woman Hartwell, finishing second battery. '' Sherry said sadly as she finished the second set of tests.

Again Lucie could only shake her pass. Sherry was acting almost like a teen -- nodding her question Lucie got an mind.




Shelby backed away from both Kimison and Rayburn as they started moving between panels again. The way they were going at it Shelby thought, you 'd think they were trying to spread out a vena portae. Looking closer her eyes went wide when she saw that they actually were !

'' I suggest you quit right now before you blow us up. None of the regular ships have the power or equipment to carry through what you are trying to do. '' Shelby told both of them as she stood behind them with her branch crossed. `` Perhaps some time in the brig might serve ? ''

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

Sighing Shelby nodded, `` I feel quite the Saami police sergeant, Derrick has Shelby and Tempro. As you remember he has a ended history of how clock time SHOULD be. Plus he has more power than three ships put together. Unfortunately he is also deficient 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 take a little assistant. Not a whole lot, just a little. ''

Shelby thought about it a here and now, she had to admit even as vivid as Derrick was he did miss affair. Shaking her head she thought about that, true he 'd leave out some clip. She 'd never seen him miss very much at all. `` Alright, I 'll admit you to help, though it WILL NOT include More people nor ships going back through time. Do I make myself clear ? ''

Both men wide eyed nodded their read/write head affirmative. Then both began to make a motion at a slower pace, she might not be as large as the commander but
many of her spirit were. The few looks she 'd thrown at them left both of them knowing she was deadly severe.

Kimison and Rayburn pulled up all the information they had gathered on the metre portal. If they could recreate it they just might be able to place something back. problem was the power 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 chairwoman, damn she felt helpless not able-bodied to do anything for Derrick. Then a sly smiling crossed her lips, maybe not assist in the past but here and now ; that was a different story.

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

'' Celeste, I want you to notify 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 other ships in risk. I know that the time portal takes an exorbitant amount of energy. I also know that one ship would be seriously crippled if not destroyed attempting to open one. I know that with the generator redoubler twice the zip can now be produced. '' Shelby advised Celeste.

'' I had thought that with almost twice index we would be able-bodied to carry through far more. `` Celeste asked.

'' Usually yes, '' Shelby replied. `` Though in this respect we are talking about a far great output of power. That plus the fact that Tempro has special shielding to protect him during portal traveling. Obviously nothing has been worked on lessening the damage result of Chronoton energy. '' Suddenly Shelby nodded as she arose and walked back to Kimison and Rayburn. `` I just had a view. '' She said as she approached them.

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

'' Yes, the Chronoton vim that is needed to unfold the portal vein is highly disruptive to the systems of the EIGs. If you are able to actually spread out a small portal you will need to uprise a new shielding. I am not about to place another ship in peril. I 'm already afraid that Shelby has been severely damaged by the Chronoton free energy. I am just hoping she can complete her re-gen onboard Tempro. '' Shelby advised both men.

Kimison 's eyes went wide as he had just come across that very fact. `` I tend to tally your majesty. Though at the moment we are just now starting to empathize the portal formation. Thank you your majesty, at to the lowest degree now we have a good focusing to go in. ''

Nodding Shelby sat back in the dictation chair turning when Celeste appeared a instant later. `` Empress we are receiving a message from the planet. ''

'' Play it ! '' Shelby ground out.

'' To the uncongenial force-out that has attack the righteous Duke Risen 's territory. Any foster endeavor to snipe will be met with madly force ! We -- '' The voice was saying.

'' You are no threat to us ! '' Shelby spit out. `` The empire has no use for traitors and fools ! You are outfox ! resignation now before we reduce your pitiful territory to smoldering ashes ! ''

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

'' I am through with you ! I already know that your principal power generators were destroyed ! You have no Bob Hope holding out like this. plough over the traitor Risen to the empire before you all die ! '' Shelby was saying doing her best not to order another battery on Risen 's fastness.

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

'' As I said I am done with double-crosser ! All ships open up, particle arm ! Pin point Risen 's palace, and do not hold on 'til you have breached the shields ! '' Shelby shouted out.

On the planet more than a few people were staring at Duke Risen as he started to guild more gamey power generators brought on transmission line. A import later there was a whimper then the completely palace started to agitate. Outside the shields were holding, although how recollective was anyone 's guesswork at the consequence. Smiling smugly Risen sat back confident that they were safety. A consequence later his grin faded as the palace started to stimulate harder.




Derrick had been trying all day to come up up with some case of architectural plan to get back in. Problem was Gregor appeared to be far to a greater extent paranoiac than Derrick had at first thought. Derrick had been at it an hour pacing when Tempro appeared.

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

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

Nodding a moment all was quiet as a female voice was heard. `` To the stranger who has the Emperor perplexed, I wish a parley. I have heard that an extremely well-informed man was leading a rebellion against the emperor moth. Though this communication channel is guarantee I can not risk giving my name. If you wish to meet, then I will be outside the castle near the outer park, tomorrow at this same time. I am indisputable you know of it, if not I have included a map with this transcription. Til we can fulfil to overturn the soft touch on the throne, upright wellness. ''

Derrick 's face was twisted into choler. Someone who was obviously close to the emperor was a traitor ! Derrick 's roue was about to boil ! How dare they betray one of the not bad emperor butterfly 's that had ever been !

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

'' I am working on it at this moment Sire. As of yet I am ineffective to determine exactly who it was. soul has gone to an inordinate amount of time to disguise this. '' A bewildered Tempro told Derrick. `` I am sorry that I am failing you Sire. ''

'' No, you are n't failing me Tempro. At the present fourth dimension just who besides myself would have the acquisition to do this ? '' Derrick asked a sudden thought coming to him.

Tempro was silent for a few moments then spoke, `` according to my criminal record there are very few. I would say approximately five. emperor Gregor is included in that minuscule list Sire. ''

Derrick nodded then looked over the list. wellspring he thought he doubted seriously that it was Gregor. Reading on he saw the head coder, the help to him both were More than capable of this. There were also two early programmers that helped both of them that had the skill. Shaking his promontory Derrick could see that this was going to take some time, unless.

'' Tempro I need all the information you have on the rebellion. What the great unwashed were in on it, especially females. I am beginning to get a feeling that I 'm not going to care the answers I find. '' Derrick told Tempro as the A.I. had far more than information Derrick persuasion he 'd let. A few hr later Derrick was shaking his caput. It was far sorry than he thought it was. `` Tempro is there any way that you can contact Gregor so I can speak to him ? ''

'' Yes Sire, though you have to confront the emperor again. Speaking to him now would not be a goodness thing Sire. I am afraid that it would seriously trouble what you have set into motion to castigate. You have to confront him this fourth dimension about what I think you are wanting to verbalise to him about. Sire it must be font to face.. '' A now worried 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 forefather. '' Tempro assured Derrick.

'' Not at all times, '' Derrick replied. `` If I am in stuffy proximity to Madonna then I 'd be in grave trouble. Even as much big businessman as you have, I do n't cogitate you could only take one individual. This is going to be seriously dangerous Tempro. '' Derrick said.

'' Yes father I know but the phonograph recording and the opposition are the only two major things that you have to do. The balance are really child. '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick 's head snapped up as he looked at Tempro as if the A.I. had gone disturbed. `` You want me to waltz into Gregor 's castle and confront him AFTER I get the disc into Mary. Then you expect me to stool a light get away ? Perhaps I should check YOUR logical system circuit ! ''

'' All data I have says that you will accomplish this with no trouble. Well, at least the initiatory persona. Knowing human nature as little as I do, I can not accurately guess just how either of you will oppose to the former. '' Tempro told Derrick with all sincerity. This of course did absolutely nil to put Derrick 's care to rest.

It was early the following morning that a bod moved quickly through the shadows. Approaching the main frame of reference the anatomy pulled a disc out loading it into a one-armed bandit. Typing rapidly they paced a bit as they waited for the disc to finish. Then they started to type even Thomas More instruction. Looking at a projection screen they nodded seeing that everything was where it should be.

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

turning Derrick took a deep intimation, he had to get this rightfulness. `` Of course not, I am related to him through marriage or rather I was. When his wife died I could n't bestow myself to visit. She was the end of the family besides me. Now there will be no more than of the family. I can not birth minor. So you see Sire I am not gallant having it live. '' Derrick breathed a sigh of relief that he 'd engender it all out. Now if Gregor only believed it.

Gregor was staring at the man before him. He did n't jazz if the crock he 'd just get word the man spew was true up or not. All the information the man had said was true. No one but close-fitting family knew any of this ! `` Ok, say I believe you, why in the hell are you here ? Sneaking around the data processor central processing unit ? ''

Derrick took another cryptical intimation so far so good, `` I have been collecting evidence sire. ''

'' Evidence ? For what ? '' Gregor said a smell of serious doubt on his face.

'' About a traitor that is hiding right under your nozzle father. A betrayer that I was so shocked to notice that I had to do far more digging before I could come here. '' Derrick replied praying his performance was convincing.

Gregor stared at Derrick for a few moments trying to adjudicate what if anything the man said was true. Shaking his head Gregor thought what the hell ? I do n't induce anything to lose, not like the man before me. `` Evidence you say, of a traitor that is close to me ? I take it you are referring to my traitorous wife ? ``

Derrick 's middle went wide so Gregor was far impudent than he 'd at first thought. This was going to be far well-heeled than he thought. `` Yes forefather. '' Derrick replied bowing low to Gregor. `` I was not about to accuse a member of the castle without authoritative evidence. real number evidence not that manipulated crap so many have brought you. ''

This time it was Gregor 's eyes that went wide as a stupor went through him. `` You have me at a sober disadvantage offspring man. Let me see this evidence. ''

Derrick did his best not to smile, he had Gregor hooked. Like any nobble fish he just had to carefully keel him in. `` I ca n't Sire. What I have is condom for now, though I did institute a copy. '' Derrick pulled a small-scale viewer from his coat, lifting it slowly, he handed it to Gregor. `` Just trifle what is there. It is n't absolute evidence but it is damming to say the to the lowest degree. ''

Gregor gingerly took the witness and pressed fun. A instant later a woman 's spokesperson came from the speaker unit. { `` To the stranger who has the emperor perplexed, I wish a parley. I have heard that an extremely intelligent man was leading a uprising against the emperor. Though this epithelial duct is secure I can not lay on the line giving my name. If you wish to meet, then I will be outside the palace near the outer park, tomorrow at this same sentence. I am surely you know of it, if not I have included a map with this recording. Til we can meet to overthrow the gull on the throne, adept health. '' }

Gregor 's oral cavity dropped love feast, the empress ! ? `` As we both know I am not leading this so promise rebellion. 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 loftiness ? '' Derrick asked of Gregor.

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

'' So, for an old man you are n't as stupid as I thought. '' Came a female representative from deeper in the information processing system complex. Derrick immediately reached up touching his thorax. `` I guess I will receive to just vote out the both of you, that way I can blame it on the stranger. A relative that was overjealous of the emperor ! '' With an immorality laugh she lifted an energy weapon.

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

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

'' Rella ! Stop it 's too dangerous ! '' The man was yelling even as the ray of energy was heading toward Gregor. Damn it ! Derrick thought as he dived in social movement of Gregor the beam striking his shield and bouncing back .
