Derrick was n't happy, not happy at all, he needed to get out of here and get things done. All this pomp and crap was starting to weary really thin on his patience. He 'd just released piece of the carapace around the palace but was n't gear up to completely yet. He felt that there were still far too many threat out there to let his precaution down yet. Mary on the other helping hand was thrilled to no last to make human eubstance within the confines of the palace again, after over 200 twelvemonth. Hartwell and many of his men were walking around still in a somewhat of a fog.

Derrick pulled Hartwell aside a few hr later, `` What did your bidding say about all the proof that we provided them ? ''

'' That 's the affair, '' Hartwell answered, `` after I relayed about of it, they told me to assert radiocommunication amnesia. I guess they are also afraid that statement has been inundated with spies. I had always thought that command was the one place that would n't let spies, '' here Hartwell shrugged, `` conjecture I was faulty. ''

'' I was afraid of that ; these motherfucker have had quite a bit of time to infiltrate the membership. I had Blessed Virgin relay a subject matter to the top military officer about the trial that we have designed. I 'll let them lie with the solution as soon as we test it out on that one crew phallus. '' Derrick told him, though he was still afraid that this test was going to be as terminal as those in the past had been.

Sighing Hartwell was n't all that happy about having a spy on board, though the thought of losing a crew fellow member did n't invoke to him either. `` So ..., how are you suggesting that we handle this ? '' Hartwell asked Derrick.

intellection, Derrick was at a release a import, `` Hmm, '' he said then an idea started to form. Motioning for Hartwell Derrick started, `` I got an melodic theme, first we 'll bring her here then ... ''

1st specializer national flag Callie stared at the Brobdingnagian elbow room that she was in. What a complete waste of space and money she thought walking around the stool room. Shaking her headspring she did n't even know why she 'd been picked for this appointment ; she was a tech specialist not a soldier. Sighing she 'd have to get with the posterior admiral later about re-assignment. Walking further in she saw a tall man with sandy blonde hair and drab brown eyes greeting everyone that was passing through.

Stopping suddenly she reached into her pocket to make sure that the weapon was there. Smiling she walked toward the man a determined gait now to her step. Looking up at the approaching female person Derrick smiled and extended his hand toward her. `` I want to personally give thanks you for your ..., '' Derrick started.

Callie pulled the arm from her pocket and fired at Derrick laughing as she stated, `` Die you imposter to the potty, the nobles will never let you harness ! '' Then to her repulsion the ray of light of the weapon passed through the emperor moth striking the ground where he was standing. Swiftly a syringe appeared at her neck as she slumped to the ground the surprise still on her face.

Derrick appeared a import later, `` Take her to the interrogation way I 'll be there in a few bit, I want you there also Hartwell, we need to record all of this. '' There was a flourish of action while the young woman was transported to the aforesaid room. Derrick watched as The Virgin attached several control and began scanning the womanhood looking for everything she could. Amazingly her old scan had found cypher, but the new ones that Derrick had suggested were beginning to find oneself all manner of hidden weapon system, poisonous substance, and powerful micro explosives. Shaking his head Derrick saw that several Thomas More scan that he 'd added to Mary 's repertory of examination still had n't been used. Again as Mary started over Derrick 's centre grew wider as the hidden armoury began to steadily produce.

A few mo later Derrick nodded when the cobbler's last of the hidden weapons were taken off. Shaking his head Derrick knew he had his work cut out for him. Nodding to Mary, Derrick stepped to another projector and literally vanished only to appear across the elbow room moment later. Nodding again Derrick watched as Mary administered another injection. With a groan the vernal woman 's eyes fluttered open.

'' arse full admiral, what is going on, '' came her startled interrogation.

'' Well you tried to assassinate the Emperor, for one. We also know that you are working for one of the two factions that wish to rid of the emperor. '' Hartwell told her a slight growling to his vox. Derrick smiled then nodded to Mary who started an odd green beam on the woman 's pass.

At first cypher happened then the fair sex 's face twisted into a sadistic grinning. A unlike voice soon erupted from her mouthpiece. `` So your pathetic, ancient technical school detected me after all, so this will be an actual challenge after all. Hello you mechanical cunt ! '' The articulation shouted at Blessed Virgin. `` I know that cypher will phase you, at least not 'til she is dead. ''

'' As you suspected sire, the programs would induce had me administer a lethal amount of radiation syndrome. All storey are constant, you may proceed my Almighty. '' Madonna told Derrick a moment later.

'' HA ! Enjoy your piddling victory ! I have ... WHAT ! ! ! ? ? ? You discovered all of them it is not potential ! You have not had the time to ... '' Looking at Derrick the woman 's nerve twisted into furore. `` You will hear nothing I have been conditioned well beyond your level of ... ''

'' Who ordered the execution ? Taiolan or Shiolan ? You will answer me now or bear infliction unlike any you have ever known. We can distil you and simply debilitate what we want from you, but I figure you 'd rather die this way. '' Derrick told the voice coming from the Pres Young adult female.

'' You would n't defy, even if you had the capability, '' the voice spit back at Derrick.

'' Oh we have it and more, '' here Derrick sighed and nodded to Madonna. A large arm came out of the wall with a set of ancient headphone looking apparatus attached to it. Nodding again the arm descended and barely touched them to the woman 's head.

The voice began to express joy, `` You have n't the guts to ... '' Derrick sighed and nodded to Blessed Virgin, as the current began to fall through the equipment an eerie scream began to egress from the woman 's mouth. `` NO ! NO ! It 's not possible stop ! You 're killing me ! ''

Smiling Derrick said, `` Like it matters you 're dead any way you look at it, so you going to talk ? ''

The adult female 's face twisted into another mask of rage as she spit at Derrick. `` Go to hell you undeserving Republic scum ! ''

'' Fine have it your way, oh by the way you will be returned to your soul core. Well in a way all the annoyance that you feel in destruction will. well, enjoy, I will. '' Derrick told the voice then moved off as the woman 's hand produced another weapon and fired at him. Again the beam passed through Derrick, `` Tsk, tsk, so sloppy, alright Mary no more. ''

Blessed Virgin nodded with a minuscule smile on her lip as flow again flowed through the equipment. This time the articulation screamed even tatty for a few transactions then was gone, Callie 's dead body finally free relaxed. Derrick looked at the part of the personality that they had captured ; hell of a way to start a reign as emperor he thought.

'' Alright Mary, '' Derrick said as the holograph of him disappeared and he reappeared across the way near the room access. `` Begin extracting all that you can before it expires. ''

'' I have already begun as I felt that we would not have much time. I will display all that I retrieve as soon as the process is finished. '' Madonna told Derrick with a small smiling on her face.

Pulling a minor blue disk from a protector in his pocket Derrick slipped it into a nearby time slot. `` Madonna program rho, epsilon, psi, alpha, iota, rho enact and enable. '' `` Yes Sire I am ... sire ? Is this the finale of it ? '' Mary asked startled.

'' No I am afraid that it will only destroy about another 10 % of the computer program, I estimate that we have eradicated 87 % of it now. '' Derrick told her.

'' No Sire I estimate that 86.97 % of it is gone now, time to destruction has been delayed another 2 years. The remainder of the political platform will reach my core in another 10 class. Considering that you came up with another 12 percent in alone months, I now believe that you will completely clear me soon. '' turgid tears were falling from Mary 's eyes, `` Thank you sire, you have given this unit a chance to exist again. '' Here Mary bowed low to Derrick as did the others in the elbow room. Hartwell was winking at Derrick causing him to shake his capitulum in frustration.

'' Virgin Mary is there any way that we can set her so that they ca n't use her again like this ? She is a ok officer and I 'd hate for the Rangers to lose her. '' Derrick asked Mary a few moments later as he looked down on the young cleaning woman.

'' I believe that the program you were working on earlier just might lick, though I could go in and strengthen her psyche. I am afraid that it would take a few days though. '' Mary told Derrick as he had started to go over the data they had so far.

'' Here Mary, '' Derrick said as he stepped to the console and started typing at blinding pep pill again. Those in the room backed up a considerable distance as they all watched Derrick with undetermined mouth. Hartwell just smiled he 'd seen this before so really nothing new to him.

A few minutes later Derrick stepped back waiting for The Virgin to assimilate all that he 'd just added. `` Yes forefather, '' came Mary 's reply as she started to comprise all of the new programme Derrick had just written. `` Going over all CAT scan now, I am picking up anomalous energy readings right before the weapon was pulled. Yes sire I believe I can boost her psyche to the point that she can refuse them without trying. Though I must caution Sire, they will know that she was aided. ''

Derrick thought on that a moment, he 'd not really expected them to say that she 'd been helped but then again how many of their broker were ever caught ? Stepping back to the cabinet Derrick started to type for respective moments then stepped back. `` I think that might help to blot out it, not the skillful but I think it will lick. At least 'til it 's too late for the mortal source and all of what 's left is reabsorbed. ''

Madonna was looking over the new data that Derrick had entered, yes it was possible an existent challenge for her. smiling, she was starting to trust that this man would be the greatest Emperor of all, though he still had to get the residual of the conglomerate to hang in contrast.

1st specializer Ensign Callie awoke an time of day later with an enormous headache. Trying to rise off the flaccid cot ... no postponement she was in a bed ? ! What in the hell was going on ? Groaning she again attempted to sit up, holding her head touch sensation as if the world was spinning. Looking beside the bed she saw an elderly looking cleaning woman with Charles Grey pilus watching her.

'' Who are you ? '' Callie asked a moment later.

'' I am Madonna ; I am the castle A.I. or rather a holographic representation of the A.I. '' Mary smiled at the woman sweetly.

'' Ok, am I a prisoner ? I remember walking into the throne room then I saw the emperor moth. I felt such madness then an almost vertigo at the persuasion of killing him then zero 'til I awoke here. What in the underworld is going on ? '' The widely eyed and almost panicked fair sex said. She 'd remembered the execution and was afraid that she was succeeding in pipeline for the like.

'' No, you are not a prisoner ; you were under the influence of one of the religious sect. One sect that wishes to take out the Emperor before he can enact jurisprudence to rid the galaxy of them. '' The Virgin told the now shaking womanhood.

'' What is to become of me ? If I am not to be executed, then what punishment will I confront ? '' The shaking woman asked having backed into a corner truly afraid that she 'd never again see the light of day.

'' I was instructed ... perhaps I should let the Emperor explain. '' Mary told the cleaning lady.

A import later a hologram of the Same tall, sandy blond hair and sorry Brown eye man she 'd seen before appeared. `` Hello Callie, I am Emperor Derrick O'Toma. If you are willing we have a military mission that I think you would be extremely interested in. ''

'' Me ? Why me ? I am nil a nobody. '' Callie asked, `` Oh sorry, '' she said to Mary. `` I forgot that it is ... ''

'' A hologram ? '' A broad smiling Derrick finished for her causing her sassing to drop unresolved. `` True due to ... uh context and several hundred protocols, I can not be there at this here and now but rely me this is interactive. You see you are a hologram to me also. '' Callie was only drooping, her wonderment at the hologram grabbing almost all her attending.

'' Anyway we have a missionary station that I feel will send a message to the faction. I will not send you without your consent but they will find you and try to extract what they put in your head. Oh do n't worry it is gone we scan you once an hour to assure it is truly gone. The thing is if there is zip to take out they will pour down you. So Edward Young madam are you up for it ? '' When Callie just shook her head Derrick said, `` Ok rest period and we 'll tattle later ok ? '' Again all Callie could do was nod.

'' Are you in need of a repast ? '' Mary asked, `` We have a very fine chef who can hit whatever you request to get your strong suit back. ''

Callie smiled slyly, she was damn near famished and the hologram DID say that she could have whatever she wanted.

Derrick sat a moment intellection of a way out of here, ah ! He thought, `` Madonna I am going to the fleet it is almost time for the future ship 's emergence. '' Mary nodded and sighed it was going to be a full fourth dimension job watching this one. `` Shelby. '' Derrick said into the com at his wrist, `` meter to emergence ? ''

'' I 'd say that she should be finished within a few hours Derrick, '' Shelby replied elated that Derrick had called her.

'' Alright IMT, '' within seconds Derrick was on the bridge. All the ship hologram appeared, `` I called all of you here because we need to bug out adding to the fleet. Zan I want you to stand guard duty over 1000, I know that you will guard her far better than any other. ''

'' I thank you Sire I will do the best I can, '' Zan told Derrick bowing low.

'' Conner I need you to accompany Shelby and I to the outer rim, I want you to be scanning for the signals I have given you while we are there, alright ? '' Derrick told Conner who looked at Shelby then smiled.

'' Yes your lordship it is an laurels. '' Conner replied bowing low.

'' Tempro I need you to stay here and provide support for Zan only if it is necessary. '' Derrick ordered.

'' Yes sire, I will endeavor to serve protect them both if requirement. '' Tempro said lofty and bowing.

'' Alright we need to go and get this done. '' Derrick told them, `` Shelby, transmit the coordinates to Conner. ''

'' At once Derrick, '' Shelby told him, then there was the intimate jazz up of the engine then they were gone. Sighing Mary tracked them all the way across the wandflower. Shaking her promontory she knew she was in for a truly heroic poem sovereignty by Derrick O'Toma.

Shelby and Conner exited the Trans-warp within the vicinity of a galactic rim arrangement. `` Shelby can you observe any life out here ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' Beginning scans now, the third and endure world of this organization has an area I am having difficulty penetrating. '' Shelby replied a few instant later. `` Switching get-up-and-go now, I am getting readings though something is starting to tone the cuticle. I believe that we have been detected Derrick. '' A moment later a blast hit the carapace effectively rocking the ship.

'' Shelby, Conner, harm report ! '' Derrick yelled.

'' No wrong, no direct hit forefather, '' Conner told him.

'' No structural price, the blast had deficient energy to have any damage. '' Turning toward Derrick Shelby advised, `` I believe that it was only a warning. As the blast was fired I detected where it came from I estimate that those firing at us have n't much more great power than what we just witnessed. An effective warning to say the least Derrick, orders on how to proceed ? ''

Derrick looked at the readings a present moment then replied, `` Open a duct Shelby let me mouth to who is down there, maybe we can give a picayune warning of our own. ''

Shelby nodded turning away then told Derrick, `` All ready Derrick. ''

'' To the unknown aggressor, this is emperor O'Toma please be advised you are firing upon a superior force. I advise you to ... '' Derrick had started.

Suddenly Derrick speech was interrupted, `` I advise YOU, Emperor, or whomever you are to affect on, this is restricted space and I will use deadly force to maintain it. '' The voice shouted at them.

Derrick smiled still the Saami hot question he was back then, shoot first, and screw whatever was next. `` So Rayb still as much a hot capitulum as you used to be huh ? ''

'' I said mov ... huh ? What was that lastly ? Could swear you called me ..., '' Derrick had been trying to lock onto Rayburn the moment he contacted him. Shelby looked at Derrick and nodded, a mo later the man was in front of Derrick, `` that execrable Scripture ... Ray..b. What the hell is this ! ! ! ! Where am I ? '' Looking around the man spotted Derrick laughing in the command chair. `` COMMANDER ! ! ? ? Oh my god you 're still awake ! ! '' Running up the man embraced Derrick in a fierce hug. `` shucks it sir ! We were all told that you were dead ! ''

Shelby appeared a bit later advising Derrick, `` Derrick I am detecting a monolithic build up of energy from his hall I am afraid that it will go critical if no natural process is taken. ''

Rayburn 's lip dropped open as he walked around the holograph of Shelby, `` My god a protrusion within a self contained system of rules of a three-dimensional image ! It is absolutely beautiful ! ''

Shelby giggled, `` He is as tech advanced as the last one Derrick, though this one is better mannered. Uh Derrick suggestions as to our flow problem ? ''

'' Can you impression a shutdown of the systems ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' NO ! You ca n't do a shut down ; it will make a massive power feedback destroying half of the planet. Just decrease the input power to the 5 central thickening ; that should deliver the system in standby mode. '' Rayburn advised.

'' Thank you sir I would have discovered that fact 2.3 seconds too late. '' Shelby told the startled man.

'' My god man, '' Rayburn told Derrick, `` a fully sentient, anatomically perfect, cybernetic advanced artificial intelligence information. '' Rayburn fell to his stifle, and then looked up at Derrick. `` Uh sir ? Could I like stay here for an broaden period of sentence ? At least 'til I expire ? ''

Laughing Derrick patted the man on the rear, `` I felt quite the same way Rayburn, though I must caution against trying to pry too far. ''

'' Why so sir ? '' Rayburn asked still staring at the hologram of Shelby.

'' They do n't wish anyone probing too far in their memory circuits they can provide quite a nasty shock. '' Derrick told the man with a smile. Rayburn look up at Derrick again shocked that Derrick had understood all that he 'd just said.

'' Are you sure you are commanding officer O'Toma ? He never seemed to infer what I was talking about before. '' Rayburn told Derrick, sighing Derrick took the man to his experiment that had almost killed him.

'' Ah ! I see you have incorporated a man cyber download place, '' looking over the system Rayburn shook his principal mumbling to his ego. `` Seven buffer store yes, synchronize capacitance, overload drain salutary, good. '' Then Rayburn stopped and looked at Derrick, `` My god sir ! You have no championship in case of primary failure ! You are one lucky son of a ... '' Looking at Shelby, Rayburn swallowed, `` ... gun sir. This could have cut out and took you with it ! ``

Derrick was startled a moment then began to smile, imprecate he was glad that Rayburn was on board he had n't said so yet but Derrick knew he was with them.

'' So, '' Derrick began, `` can I weigh on you ? I need a trouble shooter like you in the new Empire. ''

Rayburn stared at Derrick for the longest metre then tears began to slowly autumn from his eyes. `` Sir I have had such a hard time since I got out, no one has wanted me or to have me around. Are you sure you want as big of a .... messed up old soldier like me ? They said I have a type of delayed PTSD it is n't like what most have. '' Here the man sighed, `` I can suit extremely violent, are you really sure sir ? ''

Derrick had been smiling the whole sentence, `` Well, you remember how bad Kimison was ? With all the trouble he had when he got out. Then they sent him to that hell fix. We got him out and he, for undecomposed choice of countersign is a Scheol of a lot better. I think we can help you without much problem, Madonna ? ''

A moment later the hologram of Blessed Virgin appeared, `` Yes forefather ? ''

'' I need you to scan Rayburn here, tell me if his condition is curable. '' Derrick told the hologram.

Rayburn 's mouth dropped open, `` You ha ... ha ... have two of them ? It 's not potential. NO ! ! ! '' Grabbing a nearby pipe Derrick had been using a few days before, he was soon advancing upon Derrick.

'' Sergeant ! '' Derrick yelled at the man. For a import the man looked as if he recognized Derrick then roared and started to advance again. Suddenly a stream of electricity hit the man whose side registered daze then he slumped to the deck of cards.

'' Really, your lordship you have to stop putting yourself in these situation ! '' Virgin Mary told Derrick shaking her finger's breadth at him as if she would a shaver. `` sire it is extremely hard to protect you if you are out here so a great deal. ''

'' Just CAT scan Rayburn and see if we can recreate the hurt that was done by the war. '' Derrick advised her.

A little rectangular shaped light panel detached from the console. Emitting an eerie green beam that swept back and Forth River across the man 's school principal. A few minutes later the clean control board retreated, `` I have finished Sire. It appears that this man has a gamy state of resistivity to all that is affecting him. He is curable but it will ask at to the lowest degree three intervention. I am sorry father, but his higher resistance requires that I go slower. ''

Derrick smiled, `` As I told you with Kimison, Mary, there is no need to rationalize, the simpleton fact that these men can be healed is in its self a small miracle. ''

'' No father, no miracle just a science that seems to have been lost over the centuries that the empire has been laying dormant. '' Mary told Derrick watching him to approximate his response.

'' We really need to bring the imperium back to what it was Madonna. We have to or everything that all the emperor moth worked for will be for nothing. '' Derrick said suddenly noticing that The Virgin was watching him as closely as she was. `` What is damage Mary ? ''

'' You, '' Mary started, `` embody all that the firstly emperor did. I am so very proud to be able to serve another man as bang-up as he was Sire. ''

'' Uh, thank you Mary but it is just how I feel, what I feel is right. This Empire survived for over 800 years only to be destroyed by petty greed and jealously. All the things I was taught to not be. '' Derrick told her as his mind drifted back to the past for a few minutes.

On card Tempro the short cropped blond hair, metier human body man, with a smooth cheek was worried. So far none of the experiment had yielded any winner as of yet. He was pacing back and forth his female parent Mary was n't going to be felicitous he 'd judge all 100,000 tissue samples that he had, nix had worked. They had all failed each almost as horrible as the last, even terminating them as early as he had, still had caused a bit of instability with him.

Mary appeared a few consequence later noticing immediately that her son Tempro was starting to experience a thin break down in his programing. Sighing she walked to him and embraced Tempro, `` I am so sorry my son, I did not mean to cause you such hurting. I know that the experiment all failed but I have gone over all the data and I think I am beginning to see a design. ''

Tempro was surprised then slowly melted into the embrace of Virgin Mary then the tears started. `` I am so no-account mother that I have failed so much. A approach pattern mother ? '' Nodding The Virgin outlined what she 'd seen from all the sample so far. Tempro also nodded finally seeing why they had started to run out.

The Virgin stood by watching as Tempro started again armed with the new knowledge. He had gotten twice as far before there was any sign of bankruptcy. Smiling this time he 'd determine all the indicator and was actually starting to see where he needed to go. Smiling he thanked Mary it made thing a hale lot loose when the trunk had no veridical consciousness or even the outset of a personality. Smiling Virgin Mary figured now maybe they had a chance to succeed ; unfortunately they would stimulate to experience Derrick or hmmmm maybe this new compatriot of the emperor butterfly.

Shelby and Conner emerged near the moon of the imperial beard world. Derrick was preparing to go back to the castle when Zan called.

'' Yes Zan is everything alright ? '' Derrick said.

'' Yes father, I thought you would like to know my wing mate is ready. '' Zan told Derrick excited.

'' Very well, 1000 ? '' Derrick asked of the newest addition to the fleet.

'' Yes Sire, '' A young, slender, long straight brown haired teenager appeared in front of Derrick bowing Low. She was of course stark naked stifling the urge to smile ( it was nice yes but he really had to talk to all the A.I. 's about appearing naked ).

'' I 'm not sure if you were told of this but I insist that all the ship 's A.I. 's go by the epithet that they were given. '' Derrick instructed the new hologram.

Still bowing the Whitney Moore Young Jr. teenager nodded, `` Yes Sire it will be so. ''

'' So please what was the name that you were called. '' Derrick smiled pleased that this was going as well as it was.

Shyly at first the teen looked up smiling she stated, `` I was named Sherry Sire. ''

Derrick 's oral fissure dropped love feast, holy turd he had n't expected this !
