Derrick was moving through the admittance way toward the independent part of the shipyard. Ahead to his right Staff Sergeant Randall Jimison signaled to his left. sergeant-at-law world-class stratum Book of Daniel Greg Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two safeguard in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no haphazardness. Shaking his capitulum he thought back to Tempro.
Both men slipped around the nook as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As hushed as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guards away with piddling to no noise.
Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in figurehead of the thickly certificate threshold. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the doorway clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.
Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to disseminate out looking for any more safeguard. Shaking his headway Derrick had n't expected the position that was here. Apparently the ship yard had been infiltrated by some really bad reference. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transport as it moved away from the ship chiliad.
Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirates again in the main hallway. So far the scan had indicated 30 men that were here, well xx eight now. All the reports had said that 30 bodies had been found after the tape transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their enemy had tripled their guard duty. ‘ 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 next junction. mightiness get one set of them not trusted about both. '' Norman told him.
'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the utmost two or three might set off the alert. Sorry commanding officer. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the citizenry from the shipping were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to make a move when an consternation went off.
'' What 's with all the damn disturbance ? '' A large man with several cicatrice on his honest-to-goodness aspect snarled into his com.
'' Found the outer about guard dead sir, '' came the voice of a youth sounding man.
'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the bastards ! farewell three here with me, ought to be enough to control these frighten pansies. '' The obvious drawing card was yelling into the com.
Derrick smiled then nodded to both Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the rampart picking their stead. Taking a deep breath Derrick knew that this succeeding portion was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser singlet he stepped out into the elbow room.
'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the wall.
All four of the pirates whirled toward where they had heard the cry. `` They are in here with us ! '' The old cicatrice faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the room he said, `` You 're bushed you piece of shit ! ''
rushing toward the bulwark, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to shout out then the com. was flying across the elbow room with a fix in it. A import later the third of the men went down.
Grabbing one of the females in the elbow room the man shouted to the air placing a wicked knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's deadened whether or not you get me ! '' Two shots from different focus were heard. Then the knife was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a fix in the side of his point.
Derrick ran out to check on battle of Shiloh and Duncan Grant. `` lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Ulysses Grant can you both stand ? ''
Both men looked up at Derrick with both their mouths hanging unfold. `` Sir ? '' battle of Shiloh stated. `` Is that really you ? ''
Derrick had to laugh softly, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to bear company. I want you and concede to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backbone.
Cary Grant snapped to attending as did Shiloh. `` volition do sir ! '' Ulysses Simpson Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open paries.
Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the rampart himself moving to a better status. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivors ! ''
'' No trouble, '' came Jimison 's ghastly reply.
'' well-chosen to clean up the filth. '' Norman said with a smile.
The succeeding ten minutes could only be described as a rip bath as the men came in en masse. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. ineffectual to see their targets the final few panicked trying to scat. They were also taken down by several well placed shots.
A sound Derrick had n't heard in a tenacious prison term came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.
'' Commander ? '' Came the vocalization of Shiloh.
'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.
'' Just wanted to let you know that we are batten down. The wife and four children were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.
'' wife and four kid ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd like to foregather them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. Damn it ! Why in the sin had n't he thought that they might be married AND have baby. Shaking his headway he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.
'' trusted commander, we 've got a bit of time before we leave. We have to restart the blood plasma drive so it 's going to be at least an hour. '' Shiloh responded.
'' Oh, practiced then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn mouth. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''
'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to conform to the man she says kept me alive to come back to her ! '' battle of Shiloh chuckled.
'' well, I 'm happy I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a hint of laugh in his spokesperson. Looking up Derrick 's face was suddenly grim as he nodded. curse it ! They had so little clip !
turn toward both Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three hours before all underworld rift loose. I really do n't desire to be here when the commando arrive. It 's going to direct all Tempro has to get exonerate enough. Unfortunately the ripalon muscularity prevents him from using a lot of his apparatus. ``
'' Are we in danger commanding officer ? '' Jimison asked.
'' No I do n't recollect so as long as we are away before the time. '' Derrick replied.
'' Do we have to sir ? Ca n't we just preserve them all ? '' Norman said with a unrelenting face.
'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather hold back it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past. No I have to observe things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking Shiloh 's phratry. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.
Both men nodded with vauntingly eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be set up to go as soon as potential. Are the trackers working ? ]
[ `` Yes father, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's mentation.
[ `` Good send them now. ] Derrick replied. On a hold over adjacent to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely small electronic art object appeared. [ `` range of a function, '' ] Derrick asked.
[ `` I can get a clear signaling for at least 200,000 klick. After that a booster amplifier is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to submit minimal impairment. '' ] Tempro answered.
Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the transferral was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's children, and then a slender Asian looking woman walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.
'' I am so glad to finally assemble 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 adjacent few hours are n't too a good deal of a stress to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the 16 and fourteen year old Word of the woman. 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 person on the spine as he moved toward where Shiloh and Duncan James Corrow Grant were in the command of the ship.
Both men stood to pledge Derrick as he came in. `` Glad to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' Shiloh said.
Looking down Grant stated. `` We should be cook to go in half an hour. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''
'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised look.
'' I know when to a greater extent than one shot is taken sir. Especially when the leader went down. Two stroke from two different direction. pit if I did n't know unspoiled I 'd say it was Norman and Jimison. '' Here Duncan Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's impossible as they both are idle. ''
It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men awake and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a parting of myself ripped away when I found out. ''
Both Grant and battle of Pittsburgh Landing were nodding as they hung their pass. `` I 'm sword lily you got to get together the crime syndicate. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told Derrick.
'' Yes, you have some fine son Lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.
Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''
'' Shelly ? I did n't conform to a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four children when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.
Shiloh 's eyes got wide then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly Shiloh ! You best not be in the 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 take 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 clear. '' ] Tempro replied.
[ `` Alright leaving now. Start away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.
'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from behind him as he was about to pace out of the ship crosshatch. `` It would only take up a moment ; do you really have to go ? ''
Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Pittsburgh Landing standing to his full six understructure two inch height. `` I 'll take on her one day lieutenant, I suggest no matter what happens in the side by side few 60 minutes ? You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ''
Shiloh nodded a look of surprise and vexation on his face as he thanked the air force officer. Hurrying past Derrick, 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 trace in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something inscrutable in what the commanding officer said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the early side of the nuclear reactor room watching the engineer.
His hands on his hips he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her head she gulped a bit at the expression on her father 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''
'' Not as much as when your mother finds out young gentlewoman ! '' Shiloh told her with a grim look on his brass that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost pitiful look Shelly 's face held was about to do Shiloh to laugh. He knew all her tricks though he was n't immune to all of them.
'' Are you going to tell mommy ? '' The nine twelvemonth old asked of her father.
'' Hmmmm, not certain, though this is a good matter to hold over your head do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile minuscule smile on his backtalk.
'' pa ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.
Shiloh was shaking his header as he touched the black curls on her head word. `` Oh yeah ? '' Shiloh said with his handwriting on his chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and knowledge seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! semen on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and mother we 're about to leave. ''
They were walking toward the berthing area when the commandant 's final stage countersign came back to him. [ Lieutenant, I suggest no thing what happens in the next few hours. You hold that piffling girl tight, very rigorous understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the feeling 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 control room Mika. ''
'' I thought you did n't permit her in there. '' Came her reply.
'' Usually I would n't, but I got a strange feel. I have n't had one like this in a longsighted time finally meter was with the air force officer also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.
'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can try almost fear in your interpreter ! '' She replied.
'' Like I said not sure, thing just seem odd. '' he said.
'' Alright but hold her smashed hon. '' Mika told him.
Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a startled look. Almost the same thing that the commanding officer 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 Pittsburgh Landing looked over to Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then leave.
'' grade await good, all hachure closed, all seal respectable. No breach, no expiration of ambiance. Now backing out, fix when you are sir. '' assignment told him.
Shiloh was about to trip the engine when he noticed they were still a lilliputian close to the station. `` Mr. Grant I suggest we put more than a bare thousand Kilometers between us and the place. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''
'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an stranger DOE coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no contact. '' Duncan Grant told him.
Something was nagging at Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them set about to finally slip further from the station. The vigour he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Ranger control. This is enthrall R-00101. Do you scan me Ranger command ? ''
A moment later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repeat you -- - -- - richly -- -- - area. '' Came the weak sounding staticky signal.
'' Command we we 're attacked by plagiarist. Please transmit service to old space yard OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Duncan Grant said. `` turd ca n't seem to get through. Guess we need to get further away. ''
Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inactivity. Reaching for engine control battle of Pittsburgh Landing 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 ascendancy chair. Damn it he hated to wait like this ! `` fourth dimension ? ''
'' Information says that the ship exploded five minutes from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly build its way further from the station. `` 4000 km, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``
A min later the entire ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.
'' I am having difficulty retrieving the last two ! sire I am afraid I am going to lose them ! '' Tempro cried.
Derrick flew to the ascendency input key board as he was typing dissolute than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlace your IMT with Tempro 's ''
'' Derrick that would glow my IMT out completely. It would take at least a hebdomad to restore. '' 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 system together. chum 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 dollar bill, one thirty five. Now at one fifty. ''
'' I have them bring forth the addition is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.
Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to fall from her eyes. `` I 'm grim Derrick I have no more. I can feel the system starting to fail. ''
Derrick heard a distant detonation as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you all right ? ''
'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system has exploded. It also seems to suffer taken out a few of my system of rules. I 'm afraid I will make to regen for a prison term. I 'm sorry I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her eyes then she vanished.
'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a play on the level near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his arms wrapped tightly around a nine twelvemonth old girl.
The female child struggled out of his limb as she started to cry then tried to wake her father up. `` daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering science again please papa ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the piffling daughter asked, `` Can you please help my pa ? He 's scathe ! ''
Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` infirmary now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the little girl staring at the spot he 'd been in.
'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried tone on his face.
'' Of course of study mister, '' the piffling missy said as a strange look came over her font. `` It 's a home for the upkeep of the infirm, sick, or injured ; hospital or deftness serving as a hospital. ''
Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please be 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 papa going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the mastery. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was quiet. 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 side of meat of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.
'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the petty girl threw her arms around the man as snag of joy started to come down from her eyes. `` I was so scared I was going to lose you ! ''
'' I feel fine, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.
'' well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a moment then her aspect lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the elite group Imperial Guardian ships ! ''
'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A galvanise Gunter said.
'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's voice from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to find oneself xiv others. ''
'' commander ! dearest God it 's good 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 climb up then struggle to get loose. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few times myself. ''
'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.
'' I 'm fine pop ; 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 visible radiation appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a suspire Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me police lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hand through his countenance with a giggle.
'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.
Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you delight get her to contain 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 representation of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial intelligence service of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her deal and arm through Tempro.
'' Shelly please hold back passing your hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.
Shelly suddenly stopped a strange flavor and light in her eyes. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the clear subject field as an interference pattern of seemingly random edition in the opacity, density, or airfoil profile of the photographic metier. ''
Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the untried girl. `` Yes I am Miss Shelly. Do you accept inquiry ? ''
Still with a unusual look on her face she asked, `` Are you generated via genus Lens and lasers ? ''
'' No Miss Shelly I am a project contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the simulacrum no matter what the visible radiation is in the way. I can be made with genus Lens and lasers 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 you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining dominance of the ship. I fear though that with the flow technology that it might not be potential for a bit. ''
Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a CAT scan of the lilliputian girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's center got large. `` We have to get her to close that area of her brain off ! Sire if we do n't it will kill her ! ''
Derrick looked at the girlfriend completely at a loss for the first time in a recollective time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.
'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the worried father on the bed.
'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's daddy. Come back to me pamper girl, it 's ok just come back to dad. '' Gunter said.
Softly at world-class then they all saw the tears start from her eyes they heard. `` Daddy ? papa ? DADDY ! '' Suddenly the little miss was running to her founder as she threw her arms around him. The solely sound they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her don 's chest.
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 full psychoanalysis of her. Find out if there is a way to aid her ... somehow. ''
Another room access opened as Grant walked in. `` You better let his married woman out soon or we 're going to have a BIG trouble with that little woman. She damn near took my question off ! ''
'' She 's probably still pissed about the last time you got me sot. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't pass on yet. ''
'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.
Grant snapped to aid then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or thing ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` meritless Tempro. ‘ semen in here to enjoin me to loosen I am either going to violently vote down them or put a mess in the wall.'Unquote. ''
'' Oh shite ! '' Shiloh said. `` She is REAL pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''
Derrick 's centre got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight here. explicate you are taking her and the boys to see her married man. come together off everything, straight here. ''
Tempro looked at the door then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to hasten ! ''
A moment later a rather angry Asian woman walked in with three male child. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE HELL is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly tears 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 way. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to find a way to assist Shelly.
Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is possible. She is the simply missy I have or will ever have. I damned near died having her I can never have tyke again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another stave of split. Then she kissed Derrick 's impertinence telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
