The cold and unforgiving dark of space can be a hard mistress when searching for something. It had been two weeks
now and Derrick was no closer to finding more of the A.I. brainpower box than when he started looking with E. Having
extrapolated the accurate position of the death fight and moving from there ( not where they found 0999 ), Derrick thought
it would have been comfortable than this.

Always having been extremely smart, Derrick had tried to drop a line several curriculum to aid 0999 to act more
independently, but so far he 'd failed miserably. Hell, it appeared that even the first emperor moth had n't had as a great deal
trust of the A.I. 's as had been written about him. So far Derrick had found 30, seemingly supererogatory programs that
were stopping sovereign natural action and thoughts outside of sure terminal point. It appeared that the creators of the EIG
computer program had been more paranoiac than Derrick had at first thought.

Sighing, Derrick tried again to disable another of the modification A.I. programs. He 'd found that they were
always in brace, trying to disable the get-go always seemed to realize finding the arcsecond easier. The totally time he 'd
been running mental test to see how much more freelancer thoughts the A.I. 's had, but it seemed that even after removing
the 30, there had n't been much change.

Derrick had just started to trace where the second program was after trying to disable the 31st program he 'd
found when an alarm went off.
`` Derrick, '' E said, `` I am detecting an imminent system cascade down loser, please cease your activity or I 'll be forced
to give the sack you, thirty seconds. '' Shocked Derrick quickly closed the lap, then the hardware cover. With relief
sounding in its vox E responded, `` All systems returning to formula, cascade failure arrested. ``
`` I 'm sorry E, '' Derrick apologized, `` I almost destroyed you, Damn it ! I 'm no finisher to unlocking all of your
independent systems than I was. ``

`` No Derrick, '' E softly stated, `` you have accomplished far more than you think. The 30 you have disabled
have opened me more than either of us at starting time thought. It appears that normally, any tampering like you were doing
would make caused immediate Death. ``
`` Yes E but, '' Derrick started `` job is the plan, the commands and all the sub-routines are almost identical, I
have n't been able to discern the difference between the 30 I disabled and the John Roy Major one I just found. ``

Derrick spent another 2 days looking over the broadcast he 'd disabled, and what he could of the one that had
almost destroyed E and got him killed. Hmmm from what he saw the first 30 he disabled had been written by a
throng of staple programmer, though this conclusion damn he was sure he recognized the key signature it just seemed to slue
out of his grasp. While E checked through elder and more recent imperial platter, Derrick ran the next 500 broadcast.
looking for sure parameters he slowly began to tell apart similarities between a few of the 500 and those he 'd incapacitate before.

Not too soon after this Derrick began to see a numerical convention in the placement of the qualifying programs.
Yes ! It appeared the deeper he went the more the pattern held up, but knowing those paranoid men back then it might
just be an attempt to gull anyone to get this far.
`` Derrick, '' E said breaking into his musings, `` I 've finished analyzing the signature tune of the one program, I believe
I 've found something odd. ``
`` Odd ? '' Derrick questioned, `` Let me log out ''

`` It appears this curriculum was created as a terminal fail safe. '' Also, '' E suddenly stopped, `` Derrick, the
signature tune is from a part of the old imperial kinfolk, indirectly in seam for the throne. It also seems to mirror your
kinfolk 's. Uh, Derrick ? Is your family line related to the royal family ? ``
`` Honestly E, I do n't know, but come to think of it, that might excuse why my father and grand-father were so
secretive about the kinfolk, '' Derrick thought aloud.
`` Derrick, if all this is reliable, you may be the last of the royal family. You may be the just one with the power to
unfold the palace, '' E stated excitedly.

Derrick was taken aback, me ? A fucking royal ? Then again it did make a lot of signified, both his forefather and
grand-father had been found numb not far from the outer perimeter of the castle shield. According to both the area
was loaded with lying in wait and deadly animals ( not just the 4 or 6 legged kind ).

Derrick shock his head to sort out it, at least out here alone, there was n't backstabbing or underhandedness.
Derrick was about to ask E something else when his equipment picked up a rickety track signal. Checking the
reading Derrick started to smile, it was about time ! The salvage fleet might have shit for ships but he had to say they
had he best detection equipment out there.
`` E, '' he stated, `` come after this signal it 's washy so it might take a ... '' There was a moment of a whining speech sound then they were half way to the next galaxy ! `` ... while to observe it. '' Derrick finished. `` Damn it E ! Tell me before you do that. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' a hurt sounding and whispering E replied, `` I just thought you 'd desire to speed. ``

Derrick sighed, thinking that he had to think that E could feel his strongest emotions, hear his strongest
intellection. `` I did E, but something like this notify me first, ok ? ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E replied, the hologram slightly bowing its headspring. `` I was not with this unit when it was destroyed, as
far as that goes this and one other time. I believe a total of 200 of my crony and sisters disappeared out-of-door
our galaxy. ``

`` Hmmm interesting, strange that such a large power was lost outside the confines of the galaxy. Have you
located the brainiac box ? '' Asked Derrick ?
`` Yes, the signal is extremely decrepit, Derrick ! The box is close to failing ! permit to bring it aboard ? '' E inquired.
`` First CAT scan it for explosives, toxins, viruses and any other nasty surprise, '' Derrick ordered.
`` Scanning, '' Stated E, `` Derrick ! I am detecting respective explosives ; they contain sufficient force-out to destroy one of
us from the inside. ``

Derrick nodded, he thought so, probably all of them outside their house galax would be the same. `` clock time to
disarm and ... ''
`` Clearance and reassign in 5 second base to bay 1, '' E quipped excitedly. Derrick could only nod, well she was telling him
albeit rather quickly. `` All CAT scan now clear Derrick. ``
`` Good, is regen possible ? '' Derrick asked.

E was silent a few moment, `` I am detecting extremely weak cerebral natural action, attempting to inculcate energy
now. extract successful, it will be at to the lowest degree one hour before I can attempt re-gen jump, at present the vim end product
of the mastermind box is at 2 %. I am detecting massive damage near the core, the data and storage may not be
recoverable. ``
`` Alright E, keep me informed of the progress of the re-gen. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Yes Derrick, with solitaire I believe that the unit can be saved. '' E said, Derrick grimaced shucks he hated to
lose the keep section of one of the ships just as they had found it.

Almost a wide-cut hour had passed with Derrick in the disk room, when a gong sounded.
`` Yes, '' Derrick answered rather absently focused more on what he 'd been reading.
`` Derrick ! '' came E 's excited vocalization, `` She 's active ! Her box is badly damaged but she 's alive ! ``
Jumping up Derrick started to run, then was suddenly on the hanger bay.
`` reputation E, '' Derrick ordered.

Sobering, E tried to answer calmly, `` I was finally able to infuse the box with enough energy to slowly bulge
regrowth and re-gen. ''
`` Have you determined which unit it is ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes Derrick, it took many deep scans but she is 0999 my closest sister, she and several others were lost in the very
first of respective battles outside our Galax urceolata. Unfortunately, I am afraid part of her retentivity is damaged, it is a shame
though I wo n't jazz the extent of the damage trough she is regrown. ``
Again Derrick nodded the brain box was severely damaged true, but it was more integral than not. Derrick hoped most
of her files were inviolate, what he was finding was becoming disturbing to say the least.

`` Alright E, I 'll leave her to you, call up though I know you are dying to get her back, do n't rush. ''
Derrick reminded her.
`` No Derrick, I wo n't bury, it is my Bob Hope that most of her corpse. As I said there was extensive terms. '' Derrick
could hear the Leslie Townes Hope in E 's voice, he too was hoping as he felt it would serve to heal E further.

The rest of the week Derrick checked on the ship every day, it was growing very slowly indeed. Derrick
continued to look through the records from 0999. It was as he had feared, the deeper he got the angrier he got. All
the Trygve Lie, the deception that had lead to the destruction of all these beautiful and glorious ships. He 'd been also
working on a way to supercharge the detecting signal more when E broke into his thoughts.
`` Derrick, you ordered me to apprize you when 0098 was witting, '' E called.
`` Alright E,"seconds later he was on the hanger, shaking his head he knew E was excited.

`` Whenever you 're ready E, '' Derrick said to get affair started.
Suddenly there was a mechanical voice coming from the loudspeaker system, `` Where am I ? What has happened to Captain Albatross ? ``
`` 0098, this is 0101, you were destroyed in battle outside our galaxy, '' E explained.
`` Yes 0101, I am detecting severe damage to my nous box. I seem to be missing the last year of my store, plus
struggle tactics, and tactical, '' The voice replied.
`` I can supply you with the live two, the first I am afraid may be permanently gone, '' E offered.

`` Thank you 0101, are there any others ? '' the part asked.
`` At present there are only you, me and 0999, '' E said sadly.
Sighing 0998 replied, `` Only 3 of the large battle fleet ever made left, it is a shame. ``
`` There was only me, had my prime not found me, then both of you then there would still only be me, '' E joyfully said.
`` He found us ? But we are undetectable ! Truly your flower is a splendid humanoid, '' 0098 stated.

Derrick began to blush he was ache sure but brilliant ? No, far from it ! `` I do n't imagine brilliant is an
accurate description of me, '' laughed Derrick.
`` Yes Derrick, '' E broke in, `` for over 1000 years no subspecies no ... one has ever been able to detect us. At least not while
we are shut down. ``
`` I agree, '' chipped in 0098.
`` As do I, '' added 0999.

Why were the A.I. 's so surprised it was just metallic element detecting equipment he 'd uprise years ago, nothing
brilliant there ?
`` flavor you three I am just an ex-soldier and computer programmer, not some god or saviour. '' Replied Derrick.
Derrick remained silent for the adjacent hour observance as the new ship grew. Although it appeared that the head box had
sustained more damage than 0999 's, 098 had retained an impressive amount of its data and personality.
Derrick went back to the records to fetch up up on 0999 's records.

Much as E had predicted it took a workweek longer to regrow 0098 and the surrounding ship. Only a few days into
the second week another set of dismay went off. Racing for the control room Derrick was almost afraid of what he
might find.
`` written report E, '' Derrick said as he flashed into the controller elbow room command seat.
`` I am reading a small fleet of the Lapp race that attacked a few weeks ago, I suggest we move back inside our galaxy
for added covering, '' E replied.
`` Agreed, 0999 stay in close, we do n't know if they 've seen us yet, '' Derrick advised.
`` Affirmative, moving to flank position, '' 0999 reported.
`` We are going to prompt to Alpha epsilon 999 zeta, confirm. '' Derrick ordered.
`` Position confirmed, commencing relocation, '' 0999 answered.

The rest of the calendar week Derrick again worked on the limiting programs in the main computing device of E, he 'd just
finished with the fortieth when E called.
`` Derrick 0098 is finally secure enough and has her own business leader now, she should be able to finish herself in a few
daylight. '' E said more excited.
`` commodity though I hate to suffer her fighting this soon after she has just gotten repaired ,'Derrick said feeling a trivial
guilty.
`` Thank you E, '' Derrick said only half listening to E. `` E, I have a question. ``

`` Yes Derrick, '' the hologram appeared next to him.
`` I was wondering, except for the personality, is everything the same within all primary programs ? If I was to
implement the changes in 0098 and 0999 that I have within you, would it induce the same problems to them that it did
at foremost with you ? '' Derrick was really hoping for a electropositive result, this might solve a lot of problem down the product line
IF he could disable enough.
`` At introduce Derrick I am ineffectual to answer that interrogation. It is dependable that I did have access to all of both, and true
they were the same as far as I saw. I do not remember you encountering trouble ; I do induce comparisons of all three
data file if you wish to calculate at them. '' E said sadly.
`` Maybe later E, I think I know what I have to do, though I am not really that thrilled to do it, '' Derrick replied
looking over what he 'd done to E so far.

`` If I may interject, '' came the vox of 0999, `` I have glossed over all that you have done to escort ; it appears
that 0101 now has 1 % More exemption to ca-ca decisiveness. As she said her systems are almost identical to all of ours,
therefore you now have an extended knowledge of all of us. ``
`` Hmmm, '' Derrick said, `` E, I need to transport to ... '' there was a flash and Derrick was standing on another bridge circuit not
unlike E 's, `` the nosepiece of ... red cent it E at least let me get the words out, Christ ! ``
`` Again I apologize Derrick, as before I anticipated what you wanted, '' E sweetly said.
Derrick nodded uh huh, maybe freeing up more of the A.I. 's was n't as good a thing as he 'd at inaugural thought.
turn, Derrick saw what appeared to be a 5'7 '' young man with shortly brown hair, not overly muscled, no facial hair
either, wearing what appeared to be ... ? Overalls ?
`` Welcome to the bridge circuit primary feather Derrick, '' the man said, `` I am EIG-0999M. ``

Derrick was about to ask who the hell he was shit he 's as bad as E ! `` Thank you but please just Derrick. ``
`` Sir I can not ! Though you are commanding primary winding I can not forebode you less than Primary even when you guild me to. ''
0999 replied.
Sighing Derrick moved to where the computing machine access was, `` 0999 I will need admission to your chief logic, computer storage and
data systems. ``
`` I have anticipated that you might, the panel are open and awaiting your review and stamping ground efforts, '' 0999
stated.
Derrick only nodded as he opened the first data point embrasure and looked over the first 30 programs, hmmm they were exact
almost to a break he 'd just end up the world-class 20 when an alarm went off. Scrambling out he rushed to the command
chair, '' report card 0999, '' Derrick ordered.
`` It appears that the little fleet we detected earlier has turned more in our direction, I believe we were detected and
are now may I suggest protective masking ? '' 0999 asked

Looking up a mo Derrick replied, `` transpose me to 0101, immediately go to light shield activate all
weapon system and stand by. '' Derrick ordered.
`` compliance, '' 0999 said a sad look on the face of the man, then Derrick was on the bridge of E.
`` 0999, did the programs I disabled enable you any more than freedom ? Derrick asked.
`` I am reading a .5 % addition in free thinking, but it is n't enough to implement the programs you tried to install
earlier, '' 0999 replied.
`` hoot it ! E ? '' Derrick said as E appeared next to him a diminished grin on her face. `` What is the experimental condition of 0098 ? Can
it use the Light Within screen ? ``
`` Yes I can, Primary Derrick, though at present it is only 25 %, '' 0098 replied cutting E off. `` I have engine
capabilities but only sub-light, my life capsule is 98 % repaired. ``
`` Alright, for now stay close to 0101 and 0999, E time 'til ... '' Derrick asked.

`` The fleet will reach insight of the galaxy 's edge in 5 24-hour interval a full day before 0098 is regrown. It
appears that she will birth hyper locomotive engine and 90 % of all her systems, I am afraid that 90 % of her weapons will be off
agate line as will be her trans-warp engine. '' E reported.
Dammit ! Derrick started going through every scenario he could suppose of, hell they had been there half way to the next
beetleweed he should have tried to mine the sphere are something damn it !
`` E ? Do we have hanker range weapons ? Some that might slack them down, maybe take a few of them before they reach here ? '' Derrick asked.
E was hushed a few moments as were 0999 and 0098, Derrick almost felt that they were having a group discussion between each of them.
`` Well ... '' started 0999. `` I have a type of homing thermal missile, but the range is very short, only a million miles I
fear it would n't do much good. ``
`` Thermic ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Yes, it creates a little 1000 mile orbit jiffy, the arena reaches temperatures of well in excessiveness of 5537.778ºC, '' 0999
explained.

Derrick thought for a minute that would definitely deter them a while, why he thought, was 0999 the only one
that had them.
`` I can excuse Derrick, '' E said breaking into his thought, `` It 's true they are a good deterrent, but the demolition
they can cause might go far beyond the domain they are detonated in. They were n't tested lots and we never attempted to use them. ``
`` They do still work ? '' Derrick asked.
`` Oh yes primary election Derrick, I have 3 in my rear armory, would you like the schematics to them ? '' 0999 asked.
`` Yes, I still need a way to redeem them, I think that these are just what we need, '' Derrick said more to his ego
than the A.I. 's.
`` Derrick, your name saki was extremely hesitating to even think of using them. I do n't think it would be a very in effect
thought, '' E advised.
Sighing Derrick looked at the program my god ! These matter were mighty ! Only 3 metre long and they could do that
a lot destruction ? `` I know E but if we do n't, I am afraid that the force advancing on us will demolish you and your
blood brother and Sister. Unless we can come up with something else we have no choice. ``

Derrick could remember the monolithic death some of the weapon system they had used in the war for what was left
of the old imperium, now called the Republic. He himself had probably killed 1000 over the yr, probably why he
did so good alone. Then again, being ripped apart and eaten while still alive did n't really appeal to him either.
`` 0999, can you produce more of these ? Derrick asked
`` Yes, '' replied 0999, `` the just thing is they are so powerful it takes almost 5 days to make 2. I would have 4 but 1
was tested on the moon of Darius 5. ``
`` time lag, '' started Derrick, there are only 4 planet in the Darius system, and the third gear and away are dry dust ba ...
Are you telling me the test destroyed the fifth planet then took the atmosphere of the third and Forth River ? '' Looking
harder at the schematics Derrick soon found out why, the missles were loaded with the most unstable element he known.

`` Derrick, when your name sake created these he told me these were a last ditch endeavour. I think even called
them a dooms day weapon, the material they contain is highly dangerous, '' E told him.
`` E, I will not fall behind you nor the other 2, 0999 is barely out 2 calendar week now, and miserable 0098 has n't even gotten a chance to
fully emerge. Do n't you think we owe it to them ? I feel I do and I feel these weapon system will help with that. Please
agree with me on this, I do n't want to be fighting you the entirely prison term on whether or not it is in good order ok ? '' Derrick
hoped his delivery worked as he was going to need E 's help soon if this was going to work.
`` Alright Derrick, you are the Commanding Primary of all of us plus you may be the net emperor 's sex act. I will
protect you with all my being ; do not waste your life Derrick. '' This finally was almost whispered which took Derrick by
surprise.

`` E, I do n't design on wasting my life, I can not stand by and let these wight destroy this galaxy and all
life here. '' Derrick said.
`` You are so like him Derrick Sir Thomas More than you 'll ever know, you believe in everything he did sprightliness was extremely precious
to him. '' Derrick nodded as he walked away ; the holograph 's eyes were leaving tears. Whispering E said, `` You are
more cute to me Derrick both of you, it 's like he has been reborn.
`` Alright 0999, I want you to start production on 2 more than of these projectile, I have plans for 2 of them, it might be
prudent if we have some in support up, '' Derrick told 0999.
`` Yes Primary, production commencing, as I said it will claim 4 days, 18 time of day and 30 minutes, '' 0999 advised.
`` 0098, please keep us advised of your maturation progress ; increase your get down shield as soon as it is potential. '' Derrick
ordered.
`` Yes primary winding, I will try to increase my ontogeny rate, my capsule is fully repaired so a 20 % increase in re-gen is
possible, '' 0098 replied.

`` E, I need to end with the adaptation on 0999, '' 2 seconds later he was again on the bridge circuit of 0999,
`` Alright 0999, now I can finish what I started. '' An 60 minutes later Derrick was finished. `` Are your curriculum less restrain ?
The holographic man paused a moment, then turned to Derrick. `` I am now detecting a 1 % growth in free will, though
I am afraid that it is still not enough. To incorporate the tactical broadcast you wished to I am afraid that at least
10 % is required. ''
Derrick sighed, that was at to the lowest degree another 360 political platform ( roughly estimation ) that he 'd have to incapacitate, shit, wish great,
great, grand dad had done some of this. Though from all that Derrick saw the other commanders probably would n't
have allowed him on board anyway. Moments later Derrick was back on base E, `` While I have time E, I need to go
through as many of the platform as I can, '' Derrick said.

Taking everything he 'd found so far Derrick was finally starting to see thin differences in the Brobdingnagian
complex programs. It almost appeared that every program was the same as it started out but subtly changed more and
Sir Thomas More as it got deeper into it. Sighing Derrick started to finally displace deeper into the heart of E 's programs, from
what he saw the original programmers really had been paranoid, making the A.I. equipped with them a virtual slave.
He 'd just started to take care at her personality programs when he received a slim shock, `` OW ! '' Derrick yelled. `` E ? What
was that ? ``
`` I am sad Derrick but those are me, I can not permit you or anyone else to disable or delete them. '' E replied
sweetly while Derrick rubbed his slightly burned hand.

For the future 3 hours Derrick worked without stopping, he had to get these damn blocks off or they 'd be
vulnerable to almost any attack. Then there was another problem, though he was sure they had n't noticed, he had a
feeling both A.I 's were following his every move, though not bad Derrick was just a bit shake off thinking they had as
much control as they did, with the emotions they had.
`` Al right E, '' Derrick said closing the access panel, `` break down amount of unlimited personality programs. ``
`` Yes Derrick, analyzing now, '' E softly said. `` I am detecting 3 % more of my personality syllabus are no longer
limited. ``
`` How is it ? '' Derrick asked.
`` It ... Is hard to depict I ... some things are easier now not a great deal but some, '' E hesitated.
Hmmm Derrick thought 4 % total no ripe clarity, damn it 3 hours and only 3 % ! At least the programs were staring to
look unlike now.

The next day Derrick had just awoken when E advised him that 0999 was calling.
`` Primary, I have checked and re-checked both thermal projectile, all the settings are as you wished, though I am not
sure of how you can deliver them as close as you wish to be. '' 0999 advised.
`` I have an theme for that 0999 but have to run a simulation first, then we 'll know it works. '' Derrick replied
though it seemed a K melodic theme were swirling around in his head. `` E, I need to run a simulation, here are the
status and all known factors. '' Derrick laid a minor comp that he used on a scan console. `` Now then, here is the
plan I have, I need you to run every scenario that you can, if it can go wrong I want to have it away so I can ward off it. ``
`` Yes Derrick, '' E 's hologram smiled, happy that Derrick was starting to swear her.

It was well over an hour later that E called Derrick to view all the results that it had gotten.
`` I have run 1,976 possible scenarios, '' E started, `` in over 22.8 % of them if you take a more fast-growing stance we will
be destroyed. In 56.4 % the mission is successful, with mischance that could happen listed, starting from the worse to
to practically none, with both of us surviving. The remaining 20.8 % the missionary station is successful but you expire, this
will not pass off. ``
Derrick nodded, `` Good I am gladiola you explored all possibilities, this will make planning the charge much easier. ``
Derrick did n't see the hologram smile after he 'd praised E 's ability. `` 0098, what is your status ?
`` At present tense I have full sub-light engines, I am also 30 % hyper drive capable, it also appears my light shield is now
at 50 %, '' 0098 advised.
`` commodity, I want you to be able to move if you are spotted, even without your entire hyper drive, you are riotous than most
ships today. '' Derrick replied.
`` Yes primary quill, I will not be caught, '' 0098 said in a flabby almost caressing voice.

Finally a few Clarence Shepard Day Jr. later, with only a few time of day remaining Derrick decided it was finally time. He had
installed both projectile, disabled 2 % more of the limits on E 's personality, made sure as shooting all its shields were at wide-cut,
and had made sure that 0999 would be able to provide protective covering for 0098.
`` Remember, we have to deliver them then get the hell out of there. '' Derrick reminded E. Sighing he knew this was
dangerous the extreme heat of the projectile alone, could destroy E as if she was n't there. Once again Derrick checked
everything then pausing only a here and now went through everything a tierce time.
`` Alright E, '' Derrick started, `` It 's time remember in and out as fast as possible. ``
`` I wish to say Derrick, that I still have to counsel you under regulations that this has too slap-up a chance to break down, ''
E replied.
`` Your advisement is taken in to report, '' Derrick said above the whine of the trans-slip engines.

The space in front of the on rushing fleet was suddenly split as E emerged from the fold in space. Derrick
took readings, adjusted, then fired both projectile simultaneously, `` standby E, '' Derrick shouted as he watched the
missiles pass the lead ship. Counting Derrick knew he had to meter this properly finally 20 seconds later, the fleet
started to fire on them, Derrick detonated them. `` Now E, go, go, go ! '' Derrick just hoped they made it the ball of fire
was rapidly moving toward them. Finally they entered the rift damn it ! They were n't going to make it they needed to
addition hurrying, he was about to speak when they lurched forward.
`` E, you need to exclude the rift as soon as we emerge, that volley was closing in might follow us through, '' Derrick
yelled above the straining engines.
`` I will seek to Derrick, '' E replied. 3 seconds later they emerged close to their own galaxy, `` attempting to close
now, 50 %, 70 %, Derrick the blast is coming through increasing shields to entire. ``
Derrick could see the gust starting to come out damn it ! They were nowhere near far enough away. `` Shut everything
down except shields. '' Derrick shouted.
`` I already have Derrick, '' E started, `` I am grim I failed with the charge. ``
There was a Brobdingnagian bam of plasm exploding towards E ; suddenly Derrick was standing on the bridge of 0999.
`` No E ! '' Derrick was yelling, looking at the screen as he watched the blast envelope E .
