Derrick had spent the next few days crawling around the internal place of Shelby 's estimator system. At least now she had minimal actuation and at least a fifty percent light-colored shell. Still he had n't been able to get her holo-systems to boot up yet, though as she had informed him she was in the mental process of the re-gen of it now.

Derrick had started to listen to the get-go emperor 's speeches. The man was brilliant as far as Derrick was concerned. Though Derrick wished he could advise the man he knew to do anything to warn the man would take to disaster. Sighing he started to replace another ruined electrical circuit panel when he received a electric shock not paying care.

Shaking his hand to get the feeling back he pushed the circuit into place. A consequence later there was a hum then Shelby appeared beside him. `` Now that 's more like it ! '' Derrick said as Shelby smiled.

'' I 'm am so happy you find me to still be as beautiful as the first time we met Derrick ! '' Shelby giggled.

'' I have always found you gorgeous Shelby. I just wish we could get you up and running. '' Derrick said with a sigh.

'' The areas you repaired today have enabled my holo organization. I am also reading an gain in the re-gen cycle. Ah ! Derrick I am finally capable to access code my hyper infinite engines. Also I was unseasonable about the unveiling of the early ships as I remember there was a problem with Tempro that delayed the launch another two weeks. '' Shelby informed Derrick.

Nodding Derrick went back to study ; they would need everything working when they finally found a way back. Going over all the repairs he 'd done so she could get over, Derrick decided it was prison term he looked at the trans-warp re-gen voice of the Matrix. Opening that part of the arrangement he shook his brain every part of it was benighted and dead.

red cent it ! Derrick was going to down that son of a beef if it was the final stage thing he did ! Yanking out the maiden of what had to be over a C complicated arrangement Derrick started in on the system.




Kimison was finally starting to feel better as he pushed his way up to the surface. Opening his center he was in the med-bay what the hell ? Looking around he had to do a replicate proceeds when he thought he saw Rayburn sitting at a tabular array nearby.

'' I thought you were gone for good. '' Kimison croaked out as he tried and failed to move up off the med-bay table.

'' I was then The Virgin told me that you had collapsed, that there was no one to get to you. She also told me that Tempro could n't use the IMT where you are. I figured you were trying to vote out yourself, so I came back, temporarily. '' Rayburn advised Kimison

'' flavor, '' Kimison croaked, `` I did n't want you to go ok ? You did that all on your own. ''

'' I felt it was what you wanted after you withdrew from me and the work we were doing. What the perdition was I supposed to conceive ? '' Rayburn shot back his ire starting to rise a bit.

'' After what you said what were you expecting ? '' Kimison tried to squall back though unsuccessfully.

Rayburn shook his head he had n't come back to fight. `` I 'm leaving as soon as possible that way you do n't take to put up with me anymore. '' Rayburn said in a approach whisper.

'' I do n't freaking think so ! '' Kimison said a flavour of fright on his fount.

'' Look it is obvious that ... '' Kimison started. Then he 'd turned to confront Kimison seeing the looking at of fear on the man 's case. `` What ? Why are you looking so afraid ? I thought you 'd be glad for me to go ! ''

'' No ! '' Kimison said a look of complete terror on his case. `` Please, I ca n't go through that again. Please. '' Kimison was saying in a pleading rustle.

Rayburn 's mouth hung love feast as he could only stare at Kimison. `` Go through what ? Rayburn said a look of shock on his face.

'' Being alone again, locked away from every living somebody I know. '' Kimison said a vacant spirit in his oculus. `` I ca n't go through that again. The loneliness would kill me, it almost did net time. When I heard the commander 's voice I thought I had finally died and was finally out of that hell on earth of a veteran's substance. '' Turning Kimison stared straight at Rayburn whispering. `` Do n't have me go back there ! Please ! ''

Rayburn watched in shock as Kimison broke down in tears. `` I would never ... '' Rayburn started, when they both heard the trans-warp engines wind up on table Tempro. As they both watched they were suddenly with the other ships that were near Duke Risen 's satellite.

Tempro appeared and bowed to both of them. `` I am sorry Corporal, serjeant but I have imperial orders. '' Suddenly they were sitting on the floor beside the command chairperson empress Shelby was sitting in. A scandalise feel appeared on her typeface as they all watched Tempro emit an odd blue beam. Space rippled the like water in presence of Tempro as he accelerated forward into the wave and vanished !

Shelby shook her head, `` secular displacement, and transference, interesting. '' Turning she looked at both of the aghast men at the foot of her instruction seat. `` I take it Tempro got an imperial beard orderliness ? And dropping you here in the midst of following that order is a small unusual. ''

When both men looked at each other in blow Kimison stated, `` Damn if she is n't just like him ! ''

grin widely she replied, `` I will take that as the right compliment I have received yet ! ``




Sherry came out of Trans-warp near the co-ordinate of the battle that they had all been involved in recently."We have arrived at the coordinates Miss Hartwell. Shall I begin a CAT scan to see if the biography box is perceptible ? ''

Lucie 's optic were all-embracing undetermined as she listened for the thoughts of the box she 'd get word before. Shaking her top dog she could cuss she could find out something but it was so faint she was having trouble. `` Go straight ahead slowly, I am hearing the voice but it is growing imperfect ! We have to hurry ! ''

Sherry 's expression changed to deadly serious as she started forward. `` I have started CAT scan just in case. As of yet I am not detecting anything by either set of parameters that the emperor has set down. Wait ! I am detecting a weak trace of the metallic element our lifespan box are made of ! Now accelerating to detected signal ! ''

'' waiting ! '' Lucie suddenly shouted stopping the wind up of the hyper-dive locomotive engine. `` We have to think back what the emperor said. We have to go along carefully. Many corner were found to be contaminated. Begin a to the full scan as soon as we are within sensor range. ''

'' Compliance Miss Hartwell, now moving closer to the signal. As of yet I am not detecting any ... '' Suddenly a 10000 of alarms were going off.

'' What are the sensors detecting ? '' Lucie had to shout to get above the warning device.

'' Multiple gamy levels of radiation and several dangerous diseases. '' Appearing a here and now later Sherry bowed her head. `` I apologize, misfire Hartwell. I could have seriously damaged myself and you as well. I will defer to your discernment. ''

Lucie could only gaze at the kisser of Sherry. `` I did n't mean to upset you. '' Lucie said upset herself.

'' You did n't Miss Hartwell, I was just eager to retrieve another baby. There are so few of us right now that any plus is a glad condition. We have all watched as pal and sisters have fallen, our numbers, growing low and smaller. It was n't 'til this emperor moth that we had any hope of seeing them again. Now with you helping that may find faster than expected. '' A brightly smiling Sherry told Lucie.

A little in shock at the kudos Sherry could only shake up her head. `` I do n't feel I am doing anything special Sherry. It just smell like the proper matter to do. Now let 's see what we can do to get the box cleaned up so we can bring it on board. ''

'' I am beginning to decontaminate it now Miss Hartwell. It will guide at least an hour. The diseases will take a little longer. Shall I inform you when I am done ? '' A now smiling Sherry asked Lucie.

'' Yes, tell me when you are done, Then we can reassess whether it is safe or not. '' Lucie told Sherry as she sat back to wait for an hour or two.




Derrick was no worse for clothing after a few time of day. He had managed to figure out his way to the highest degree of the way back into the trans-warp system section. It was a huge amount of money of junk as far as he could see. He 'd finally after struggling managed to get the lastly circuit replaced. As of yet that diminutive surgical incision was the only portion that was working.

The side by side piece of that same subdivision had several instrument panel that were severely damaged and burned out. Looking on he saw that there were a few subdivision that they had no replacements for. `` Shelby is any of what I repaired allowing you to start any re-gen ? '' Derrick said as he yanked another burned subdivision loose.

'' I 'm afraid not Derrick all I now have is inner monitoring of the system of rules. I am starting re-gen on those. '' Shelby told him even as he watched several of the dark plane section around the lit up discussion section started to glow with a low light. Sighing a breathing time of relief, Derrick saw that one of those section was one that they had no role for.

'' I 'll consume to ascertain another segment to remedy so you can re-gen the actual restraint system to the trans-warp. '' Derrick said more to himself than to Shelby.

'' That would be advisable in any other subdivision Derrick, though not with these. I need each segment working in order of magnitude to re-gen the next section is somewhat of a cascade. I am afraid that the damage was far too all-inclusive gap for me to touch off the re-gen Matrix over the hale system. The section you are at now has to be brought at to the lowest degree twenty percent online before I can access the intercellular substance of it. '' Shelby said as she appeared adjacent to Derrick.

Derrick grunted in disgust, it was going to be a farseeing day, maybe a distich of daylight.




emperor moth Gregor was watching the technical school as they were going through the organization on plank the time ship. What a fine time for them to get wind that the ship 's A.I. had a glitch in its systems. They had estimated that it would be at least another workweek before they could approve the launching of all the ships.

His Empress walked up a moment later. `` What 's wrong husband my Saturnia pavonia ? You seemed quite nonplus. ''

With a heavy suspire Gregor nodded. `` It appears that the techs obviously missed something when they were working on the time ship. They just told me that it may be another week before the launch can take place. You know how of import this is. The evidence that was gathered by the spy said that the alien slipstream is building a fleet to derive here. ''

The Empress 's eyes went wide-eyed she had known about the foreigner species, the thing that was a shock absorber was that they were building a fleet to visit. `` So they are coming to visit husband ? '' She asked.

'' No, '' Gregor said in disgust. `` They are coming to invade. According to what the spy said they have a consuming taste for homo flesh. Apparently they have farms of homo like cattle. Their supply is running dangerously low. They have seen the life in this galax, it has excited them. The spy says they will not bargain or get to treaty. They are bended on subjugation. ''

'' Surely we have fourth dimension married man. '' The Empress said. You and the techs have been at this for years. I still think it was genius when you got the mother and father ships to get the others. ''

'' It has increased the speed of the building of the fleet. I am just hoping that it will be enough. I had our daughter 's memories installed in the female parent ship ; I think she would have liked that. '' Gregor said as his head dropped the grief apparent on his human face.

'' I believe she would also my Emperor. What of the palace A.I. ? Have you chosen a memory set for it ? '' The Empress asked.

'' Uh, '' the Emperor started. `` That is why I have asked you here today my Empress. I trust no one as much as I do you. I feel that no one has the Empire as close to their heart as you or I. '' The Emperor nodded as a holograph appeared. The Empress gasped.

'' She ... she looks exactly like me ! '' The Empress cried.

'' In almost every sense she is you my good. All but your storage, I wanted to ask if you would. You are so dear to me that I would not do this without your license. '' The emperor replied.

The woman bowed to the emperor moth, `` it would be an honor my Emperor to help the empire and you in this way. ''

'' trade good I have the tech standing by to copy all your storage for the Mary hologram. I assume it is amicable that we call her by your middle name ? '' The Emperor asked a still gaping Empress.

'' Yes my dear Emperor it is an excellent idea. Both of us with the Lapplander first name would be confusing. '' Nodding the Saturnia pavonia moved off as a tech came to see the Empress to another area.

'' Are you ready for the transfer ? '' The tech asked loudly as they were moving deeper into the palace.

The Empress nodded then stopped as soon as they were both out of heap of the Emperor. Reaching for the older man The Empress kissed the man with a hungry passion. `` Have you made the virus ? Will it destroy the palace information processing system ? '' She asked.

'' Yes it should start as soon as the A.I. awareness comes online. It will point all store of us then start a slow up destruction of the outer files moving inward to the A.I. personality it 's self. It should n't take Sir Thomas More than a few years. If no one discovers and loads an anti-virus programme. '' The erstwhile man told her as he passionately kissed her again.

'' skilful with the A.I. out of the way then we can retain. After what happened with our girl I can no longer stand to sleep with, nor be near that lumbering oaf ! If the uprising I have heard of is successful then a new ruler will take explosive charge. The imbecile is far too unsighted to even see what is going on ! '' The Empress said as the both of them moved off.

The Emperor could only shake his head as he looked at the two of them moving off on his wrist com. He might be old but he was far from stupid. Shaking his head he really needed an ally as it was right now he had none.

Across the empire near the Risen Dukedom, Derrick cursed as he received another shock. Banging his head as he jerked away he watched as only the third section out of more than a hundred started to light up. Then the
areas around the mend surgical incision lit up with a faint light that started to grow substantial. `` I hope that you are starting to gain some controller Shelby. '' Derrick said as he crawled out of the system of rules access hatch.

'' No Derrick I am afraid not I ... '' Shelby started.

Derrick looked back to the far end as he saw a fourth, fifth, then five more sections start to light up. Good it was about sentence ! `` I am finally capable to reach the taboo re-gen commands. I am afraid though that I am only able-bodied to land up half the systems. ''

Derrick nodded as more and more of the blue organisation he been crawling in started to unhorse up. Well at least we have half the trans-warp system. `` With half the scheme can you operate on Thomas More now ? ''

'' Yes Derrick, I am now in fill out control of the ship. Starting re-gen on the trans-warp engines. We may have a five second windowpane once the scheme come up. I am now reading an growth in light shield to seventy five percent. I do n't think we are noticeable. We ... oh my ! Derrick the conglomerate is sending two ships ! ``

'' Oh tinker's dam ! Are we hidden enough ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Barely though I am incertain. Derrick ! It 's Conner and his wing Paraguay tea 0004 ! '' Shelby told Derrick with fervour.

'' I know you are happy to see them Shelby though you need to remember, they do not make love us, and to them we could be the enemy. Also remember you are damaged. Move us off at sub Inner Light speed and wait. '' Derrick advised her.

Shelby 's boldness fell as she nodded and they started off toward the Sun Myung Moon. Even at full moon sub light it was going to take almost an 60 minutes. They were almost there when space near where they were, started to ripple then an opening appeared as two ships emerged.

'' Shelby, shut down and vagabond. If they trace your energy we should be a ways off when they get here. '' Derrick told Shelby.

'' Shutting down now Derrick at minimal energy, promiscuous shield increased to eighty percent at the minute. '' Shelby replied. Even as they watched Conner and his wing mate were sweeping the area.

{ imperial beard mastery, this commander Zarn. We 've arrived at the arena the strange reading material were. We 've started a sweep but as of yet are only getting background radiotherapy. proffer for time 'til we break off the search. } Shelby and Derrick heard.

{ This is emperor Gregor ; I want you to make sure there are no strange ships there. This may be a herald picket for their encroachment. Do not leave 'til you have no readings. We are close but if they attack now, then we will have a problem. } They heard the emperor tell the ships.

{ Yes Sire. We will do as ordered. Commander Zarn out. } Then it was all calm down.

'' I 'm hoping that we can get out of their range Shelby. If we get far enough away then we should be secure. '' Derrick told Shelby.

'' I believe so Derrick they are only just now starting to activate the A.I 's. I 'm afraid that 's why we did n't discover Conner, or his wing mate speaking. '' Shelby replied.

'' darn ! '' Derrick said. `` They waited that recollective before they activated all of you ? My god they really were paranoiac were n't they ? ''

'' Yes I 'm afraid so Derrick, though at this fourth dimension Emperor Gregor was the most accepting of us. I am afraid though he was nowhere as often as you are. '' Shelby said as she shook her head sadly.

Sighing Derrick nodded, `` It really is a shame. Taking the time to actually get to lie with all of you I have found is Sir Thomas More than Worth it in the end. I 'm beginning to think that soul poisoned the judgment of the nobles toward all of you. ''

'' That is certainly a opening. Now that I think about it I seem to commend something mentioned about that. As I remember it was my wing mate Gregor that mentioned it. Strange that I am just now recalling that, I believe I need to run a diagnostic to see if I have decadence of my computer memory data file. '' Shelby told Derrick in a low vocalism.

'' I 'm sure you just filed it so far back that you have n't had grounds to recall it. '' Derrick told her having just crawled through almost all her systems the go few days.

'' I 'm not so trusted Derrick but I will after a few time of day. '' Shelby told him.

'' I 'm going to have to get on board Tempro somehow. He may be the only way back to our meter. Plus I have a few melodic theme about planting a few messages in Blessed Virgin for our time. '' Derrick told Shelby.

'' Please be measured Derrick, I have a lot of records for this time and a lot of the actions that happened. I am afraid though I do n't possess enough to correctly guide you while you are there. '' Shelby warned Derrick.

'' I know Shelby I do n't want to seriously compromise my sentence. hell on earth if I do anything wrong I might cease to exist. We might need to set forth a set of formula when we get back about time travel. Possibly along the argumentation of you do n't bang you do n't go. '' Derrick said.

Shelby started to giggle as she told Derrick, `` I agree Derrick though you might require to leave the rules to someone else. ''

Derrick 's mouth dropped unfastened in mock electric shock and pain, `` why I thought it was quite witty. ''

Shelby 's look got sober as she advised Derrick, `` just be extremely deliberate, try not to advise or ache or kill anyone. ''

Sighing Derrick nodded as he grabbed respective phonograph record, then sat to record.




It was several minute later when Derrick and Shelby watched both the EIG ships flash out. `` I am no longer
reading either ship Derrick. I think it will be safe to plunge. Remember use the older code that I gave you, the new ones that you learned wo n't survive for eight hundred years. ''

'' Alright, observe a curl on me the altogether metre. I know it will reach the system but I want you to move as close as you dare. If we have any chance to get back I have to do this. With all the technicians there, trying to send the message normally would most likely be detected. You have everything I need ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes Derrick, do n't mislay that badge. It is your recognition as one of the upper berth most technicians and coder. If you lose that I might not be able to facilitate you. The range of the rebuilt ships is n't nearly as far as me. Get there and back Derrick as fast as possible. '' Shelby lectured Derrick.

With a smile Derrick told her, `` Yes female parent I will be a good boy. ''

'' Really Derrick this is no clock time for joking ! '' Shelby told him wide eyed.

'' I know that Shelby, I realize all that you have told me. I 'll be back as soon as possible. Just retain a ringlet on me and preserve a inter-group communication with me. '' Derrick replied.

'' I always try to maintain that Derrick just return to me. I really do n't want to have to go in blasting to save you. As far as I know I do n't have a retentivity of that occurrence, so I hope all goes well. '' Shelby told Derrick.

'' Yeah I am hoping that nothing like that happens either. I have to get all these record into Tempro and Madonna. Many of the affair I have seen in our sentence seem to taper toward myself having left messages. I just pray that what I have left is the right ones. God all these time paradoxes can afford you a head ache. '' Derrick replied shaking his header.

Derrick slowed as he reached the atmosphere of the majestic planet. Veering off he headed toward the gigantic ship thousand spread head across space. Moving down the argumentation Derrick looked at all the ships that were there. To say that he was impressed was an understatement. Finally pulling into the bob with Tempro Derrick hid the ship and IMTed into Tempro.

Since the IMT was the same as those used by the techs there Derrick was hoping it drew no attention. Slipping to the data computer memory room Derrick was relieved that no one was there. Putting the for the first time phonograph recording in Derrick watched as it finished then added the imperial code and orders. Starting on the indorse then the third Derrick sighed when he was done. Good, now they had a ride he had to do the like to Mary, if he could get close enough.

An hour later Derrick was moving through the palace when he got a distinct feeling he was being watched. < Shelby ? Can you find out me ? > Derrick thought.

< Yes Derrick is something wrong ? > Shelby thought back.

< Not sure, feel as if I am being watched. > Derrick told her.

< I 'm not, time lag ! I ... > Shelby started.

'' I do n't recognize you, '' a vocalization behind Derrick said startling him. `` Let me see your papers. ''

Derrick turned then his mouth dropped opened. There standing behind him with his hand held out for Derrick 's
newspaper was emperor Gregor ! Hell Derrick thought, ‘ I 'm make love !'Reaching into his pocket Derrick just hoped that Shelby had made the fakes well enough .
