Trianas Macley cursed again as several system were still offline on her ship. Adjusting several pieces of equipment she cursed again when almost all the same systems failed to respond. `` information processing system is the impairment to the affected systems permanent ? '' Trianas yelled to get over several system alarms that were going off.

'' At portray all power systems are at half power. Suggest landing place and repair cycle to bring all systems back to one hundred percent. '' Her A.I. responded.

'' That is n't potential you smart ass spell of asshole ! '' Trianas yelled. `` Turn those annoying alarm off ! ''

'' Compliance, '' the A.I. said as it was suddenly quieten in the small cunning.

'' information processing system inquiry, of those xxx organisation can any of the vital arrangement that are affected be repaired while in quad ? '' Trianas asked.

'' Working on analysis, '' her A.I. said then was silent for almost an minute.

In the mean prison term Trianas went to the back to look at the mint that was there. Cursing again after she 'd removed a panel seeing that more than a few circuits were fused. Pulling out several cases she started to painstakingly replace each burned and fused electric circuit one at a time.

Finished with the world-class board she was half done with the sec when her A.I. chimed in. `` Analysis complete. Since the mend that have been started, it is estimated that ship A.I. can now begin repairs to fifteen of the thirty systems. These do not include weapons, luminance and energy shell, trans-warp, and hyper locomotive. Those will involve piece of work on the factual outer surgical incision. ''

'' We have no weapons at all ? '' Trianas said incredulously.

'' We have lost all blood plasma weapon, almost Department of Energy weapons also torpedo launchers have lost power. lighter screen is holding at l five percent, DOE shield is at 50 three percent. It is not advised to go into another hostile area 'til such time as repairs are completed. '' Her A.I. droned on.

'' Really ? No son of a bitch ! Damn it ! If you were alive I would so enjoy killing you ! '' Trianas almost screamed at her estimator.

'' Upon finishing the represent mend almost all systems should be near ninety five percent. Although the trans-warp will demand more taboo oeuvre. Hyper parkway should be functional though at present only around fifty five to sixty pct. '' Her A.I. replied unemotionally.

Trianas shook her psyche as she started to replace every burned circumference as fast as she could. Knowing that retard, asinine ex-husband of hers he 'd be hunting her soon. `` bring us to the far side of this planet 's synodic month. Land, then I 'll try to gist repairs. ''

Her A.I. acknowledged her order as the ship slowly moved away from the planet.

horse parsley was pacing about the deck of cards as his crew was searching for his ex's ship. `` Well, '' he asked, exasperatedly as he walked up behind several of the techs who were doing the searching.

'' null as of yet sir, we are continuing to scan. '' The point tech told the leader.

'' We need to observe that bitch before she has a chance to fire on us ! '' The leader said calmly, a calm air that every man on the ship knew was by far more grave than his ira.

'' Continuing all scans to all possible positions from last speed and row, '' the headway tech replied.

Alexanders nodded trying to steady more than. It would n't do him any good to kill his technical school, not yet anyway. He was about to walk off the statement pack of cards when a Thomas Young tech called him over.

'' drawing card, I am seeing an vigour trail unlike any I have seen before. '' The young tech informed Alexander.

Rushing over Alexander the Great demanded, `` register me ! ''

Even as the technical school was pointing out what he 'd found, Alexander was smiling evilly. `` Continue to monitor it. If you start to detect a ship, I am to know immediately ! Today we kill that bitch, and then we can concentrate on that bastard that claims to be the Saturnia pavonia ! ''

It was a day later Trianas had managed to shore on the saturnine side of meat of the planet 's moon. She 'd managed to get almost all her organization back on line of reasoning except trans-warp, plasma and most of her energy artillery. Stepping out in a prophylactic low standard pressure cause, she stared at the bent and broken astral pentad. anathemise it ! Her ex obviously had in effect gunner than she thought.

Setting to make for, she spent as long as she could adjusting what was left of the flipper. Disgusted she saw that even if she had trans-warp she had no way to navigate. On and off the rest of the day she worked adjusting and replacing what she could. The interior circuits she had plenteousness of, it was the external I she was very short on. Sighing at least she had 90 eight percentage hyper-drive.

Funny Trianas thought process, she 'd expected her ex to own made an exercise effort to chance her. She 'd just sat in the command prat to plan when her detector 's started to go softheaded. Looking toward the galactic edge she was reading a monumental outer space battle. Apparently an alienate subspecies was invading, it also appeared that O'Toma was there with only 13 ships. Looking again she lost tally of the huge power that was advancing.

'' Computer, appraisal percentage for imperial fleet victory over invading force, '' Trianas asked.

'' At demonstrate imperial power has superior firepower and defenses. Invading forcefulness is numbering upwards to ten thousand. Even with the superiority the imperial beard fleet has, the sheer identification number the invading fleet has will prove fatal. winner of imperial fleet estimated at twenty two percent. This will increase one percent for every one hundred twenty eight point two zero five invading ships they destroy or handicap. '' Trianas A.I. informed her.

With a wicked grinning she thought, ‘ Ha asshole ! Looks like you bit off more than you can chew !'Then her smile faded as she watched a hundred of the invaders vanish. Then a mere ten bit later another four then eight hundred were gone. Damn it ! The invaders were n't even getting close ! Cursing her luck, Trianas knew that had she been able to arrive at the emperor with him so distracted, she could have got ended his life.

Even as she watched, the number of invaders started to drastically drop. It was barely half an hour later that the invading fleet was reduced to one-half. imprecate it ! The shit was obviously upright equipped than she had at for the first time been informed.

Alexander the Great had spent the previous day pacing the integral ship as he awaited news. Early the side by side day his second found him, `` leader we believe we have found where she went. Apparently she was on sub-space drive only ! ''

'' Finally, '' Alexander shouted. `` Bout damn fourth dimension something went our way for a change. I want lift off as soon as possible. It 's fourth dimension to end her once and for all ! ''

His second base nodded leaving to live up to the drawing card 's orders. They had just lifted off when several of the technical school started to yell. `` What 's haywire ? '' Alexander said as he rushed to the head word tech.

'' It appears to be an enormous conflict at the astronomical edge. I am reading well over nine thousand invader. '' The tech said his lip quivering.

Alexander whistled, so the bastard fake was making a good display of it huh ? A mere thirty minutes later Alexander 's smile had long since vanished as he read that over half the invading fleet was destroyed. `` Damn it ! I was hoping they might help take the bastard out and save us sentence ! Oh well, just have to kill him after all ! ''

'' Lifting off leader, course set for the non-white side of the satellite 's Sun Myung Moon. '' His 2nd stated.

gyration Alexander started yelling Holy Order, `` I want all targeting set for anything that resembles her ship ! ignition lock on and blow her ass away ! ''

An alarm system let Trianas eff that they were coming. `` So you are hoping to trammel me here huh ? I think it 's about prison term I hurt you as badly as you did me ! '' She laughed as she started to program several arm. `` Last sentence I gave you far more credit than you deserved. That wo n't happen again ! ''

It had taken her almost a day to make it here. Her ex would cover the distance in an hour and a half. Smiling she thought more than enough time !

The treachery made orbit of the moon then started to maneuver to the blue side. Trianas smiled as she detected the ship as it was rounding the moonshine. `` Now ! Fire ! storage as soon as the torpedoes explode ! ''

The front of her ship glowed a moment as two torpedoes were launched streaking away. The Betrayal had just cleared the moon 's breaking ball when several alarms went off.

'' I have two destructive antimatter weapons heading this way at speed up speed. '' The head tech yelled then a bit later a immense burst rocked the ship.

Smyrnium olusatrum grimaced as he looked at the injured on the program line deck. `` Damage report ! '' He yelled above the alarms.

The second program line tech who was checking the unconscious mind head tech on the deck stated, `` The arm overloaded the shields we have subaltern damage to the shell and outer Hull. All drives are off line. We still have shield but they are at forty five pct. Almost all arm effectiveness reduced to twenty five percent. ''

'' Damn it ! Fire whatever we have at her ! '' Alexander shouted.

'' Particle beam fired, leader I am reading another antimatter weapon being launched ! Targeting it also ! '' For the mo clip twin energy electron beam left the Betrayal. The first set striking harmlessly two thousand meters from where Trianas had been.

grin smugly it quickly vanished as a collision dismay sounded. `` We need to evacuate ! Particle electron beam will detonate the last antimatter torpedo ! '' Her A.I. warned her.

Nodding she had a new course set, had lifted and was starting to incite when the torpedo went off. `` Ah shucks ! '' Trianas said as the blast caught and drove her ship back into the moon 's airfoil harder than she wished.

Skidding for a few time, the ship came to a stop. `` Any Hull breaches ? '' She asked of her A.I. When there was no response she cursed again. Bringing up what she could she saw that the integrity was intact though she did n't know for how long.

Running to the back she started to erupt out several cases as she was quickly replacing what she could.

Alexanders was seething with wrath. How dare that while of filth ex-wife of his impairment the religious order 's select ship ! Then a sparse smile crossed his lip as he saw that she was also in almost the Saame boat that they were. `` I want estimates as to when we can move ! I want the propulsion and weapons systems back as soon as possible ! ''

Trianas was flying about the back of the cabin replacing everything she could as fast as she could. As of yet she was still receiving no reply from her A.I. Painstakingly she started adjusting even more equipment, still getting no response. Finally she started to ferment on the primary segment of the calculator finding that various circuits were burned out. She 'd already replace quite a few department when the A.I. force started to flicker the start to strengthen.

With a smile Trianas kept working 'til she started to get positivistic meter reading. `` Are you cognizant ? '' She asked of her A.I.

There was a low buzz then an extremely sluggish vocalisation stated. `` organization coming back on line. '' A moment later the voice was stronger. `` Ship 's computer coming back on line. Operating at forty percent. Attempting to rectify. ''

Trianas nodded she had to interchange what she could or she and the ship were sitting duck's egg if her ex got his ship up first.

Alexander knelt over the endorse in charge technical school, seeing the farsighted gash on the man 's chest he knew the man was past help. Though blowing the Cuban sandwich away had the desired effect crippling his ex 's ship, it had other event. He had seriously underestimated the destructive force of it. Looking at what was left of the tech crew he shouted orders. `` I want a wide-cut inspection. We have to get power back up before she does or we 'll be an easy target for her. ''

It was some thirty transactions later when the head technical school found the leader. `` Sir, '' The man stated. `` We 've finished initial analysis, it appears that the superpower plant life were damaged by the flack. For the moment our trans-warp is down, as is our hyper and sub-light drives. We are barely able to uphold twenty five percent shields. I 've started everyone on fix but I am afraid we might be here for a while. ''

Alexander was making a titanic effort not to reach out and kill the man in straw man of him. As calmly as he could Alexander asked, `` What of weapons ? Could we maintain ourselves if we were attacked ? ''

The tech who had backed up a few steps replied, `` Not really leader. Perhaps in another hr after we have effected repairs on the baron plants. As of rightfield now we have much of nothing. ''

Alexander had to resist even harder the urge to put his fist through the look of the tech. Through clenched teeth he ordered, `` Get on it ! I want propulsion and weapons up as soon as potential ! '' Pulling the tech close Alexander growled. `` I suggest you and the others hurry as fast as possible ! My patience was already thin, I find now, it is almost non-existent ! '' Whirling horse parsley shoved the tech across the room into the wall.

Shaking his head as he arose off the floor the tech knew he 'd just survived what could birth been a irritating last.

Another two days found both ships still ineffectual to displace though weapons and shell were restored on both. Trianas had finally restored her sub light private road, only to get hold she could n't lift far off the moonlight. Her cuticle were back at fifty percent with her light cuticle a marginal thirty five percent. She had managed to move further from the religious sect ship, trouble was she could n't get off the Sun Myung Moon.

She had to get out of here as she was sure the sect had far more people to repair their ship. She was back in her generator room trying to re-start at least one of the engines. `` Anything, '' she shouted.

'' Now reading a five per centum step-up, still insufficient business leader to unwrap daydream orbit. Now reading sufficient king to obtain sphere '' Her A.I. informed her.

Nodding she said to herself, `` At least things are starting to calculate up. '' Reaching out she started to adjust several more piece of music of equipment.

'' Power levels starting to rise, now at l five percent ; ascent now potential though strain on engines would turn in ship powerless once again. Suggest repairs to raise ability to at to the lowest degree seventy percent. '' Her computing device droned on.

'' Shut the nether region up ! '' Trianas shouted. `` I already know that ! state me something I do n't know ! '' Holding up her hand she commanded, `` cancel net monastic order, I do n't need to listen to you clack on and on. '' Reaching inside the source she twisted as hard as she could looking up she saw that the major power horizontal surface were finally starting to rise. `` As soon as they are at 70 I want to ca-ca electron orbit, then ca-ca for the planet with all speed potential. ''

'' Order tacit power at sixty percent and steadily rising, lx five and holding steady. '' The A.I. informed her.

ventilation a sigh of relief she adjusted one more than piece of equipment then closed the panel. `` I 'm going to control, as soon as you can, I want to get off this dust ball ! '' Trianas told her computing machine.

Twenty minutes later her ship slowly lifted heading for orbit. Another ten instant saw her slowly heading for the planet.

Alexander cursed when he saw that she was further out of range, then raged when he saw that she had lifted off heading for the major planet.

'' We should experience sub-light railway locomotive in an 60 minutes sir. '' The straits tech told black lovage. Smiling He nodded the tech had just saved his life, for the moment. Now all they had to do was becharm her.

A day later Trianas was landing on Tauntoff 's planet. She 'd managed to get her visible radiation screen above 60 five percent so she was sure her ex would have an extremely unvoiced time finding her.




Derrick was a the pits of a lot happier than he 'd been in a farseeing time. He and Shelby had been talking about everything for the past times four days. She really was unadulterated for him she wanted almost all the thing he did, though the ones she did n't had him even more lofty of her.

Lucy was growing at the unconstipated charge per unit now. Derrick had learned his lesson there would be no more short cold shoulder if he could aid it. Rising from his desk, Shelby also arose on the other incline. `` I want to go and delay on Mara before we finish the tour of the nobleman. ''

'' I think that would be a wonderful idea, Shelby has given me updates though the real matter is far better. '' Shelby told him.

A moment later they were in the med bay where a now discomfited Mara was fighting the bio-bed. `` Let me out of here damn it ! I am delicately ! ''

'' Please Captain Dolichotis patagonum you have many advanced rupture and internal wound. Each time you struggle like this you re-injure yourself ! '' Holographic Shelby was trying to win over the frustrated woman.

'' No I said ! I have to check on Dolichotis patagonum ! I have to ready certainly she is still live ! '' Dolichotis patagonum was starting to become hysteric.

'' Mara ! '' Derrick suddenly shouted. `` quit this ! You 'll never leave the bio-bed if you do n't completely heal ! ''

Mara stopped struggling as soon as she heard Derrick 's voice. `` I 'm sorry Uncle Derry, I hate this ! I want out of here I was n't hurt that bad !. ''

'' You sustained a break to almost all the pearl in your body. You had serious smoke inspiration. You had lacerations to over seventy pct of your body. Had you not started this most Holocene struggle, you might birth been out of the bio-bed in a few hours. Now ? You have re-injured several vital surface area. You have also bruised your arms and leg again. It will involve another day now. '' Holographic Shelby told Mara.

Mara smiled sheepishly, `` I hate confinement, what of Tara ? ''

Looking at Derrick he nodded as Tara appeared beside him. `` hi premier Mara. I have been in re-gen. At present it will be a few to a greater extent twenty-four hour period before I will be ready. I did as you ordered prize, though I did not like it. '' Tara stated.

mara 's face softened Thomas More as she replied, `` you did an first-class job Tara, I am sorry that you were as damaged as you were. I thought that your defenses were unattackable than they were. I 'm just glad I saved Captain Lowell Jackson Thomas. ''

'' Yeah I 've got something to say about that, '' A phonation said behind Derrick, who was rolling his eyes. `` You do that again and I might have to kick your ass. On a personal level thank you, I for one would die in that ... affair ! '' Thomas waved a paw indicating the bio-bed.

Derrick tried not to laugh at this he remembered the last prison term Thomas was bio-bed confined. Derrick and the others might detest it, Saint Thomas absolutely abhorred it !

They all talked for a few more minutes 'til Derrick noticed Greeson outside the elbow room. `` guarantee officer Greeson ! '' Derrick shouted. `` I suggest you get your ass in here before the Empress or I kick your ass for avoiding mara ! ''

Greeson slowly walked in looking at the now living Shelby, then the Emperor and Captain Thomas. `` I thought I was interrupting a faculty encounter ! '' Greeson said tentatively. There was a smack then Greeson was flying in the room access to the bed.

Derrick looked out in the hallway seeing a smiling Dempsy. `` You really are as big an idiot as I had at offset opinion ! '' Dempsy said to Greeson who had turned looking back at his teacher with a heated look.

'' Really sir ! That was n't necessary ! '' Greeson growled out.

'' True, '' Dempsy said, `` but it sped things up. If I waited on you, we and you would never get anywhere ! Go compliment your hero, you have ten minutes ! ''

grumble Greeson bowed then turned to a now giggling Dolichotis patagonum. `` You better pop out coming by more ! '' Mara said.

'' I have been here every day, you were gone every sentence. '' Greeson told her.

mara was nodding to mortal behind him, turning he saw that they were alone. `` You should ingest woke me up. '' She stated.

'' I am not about to fight down these machines. As I am sure enough you are aware you ca n't win. Did you forget I was here once ? '' Greeson told her.

Mara 's eyes got wide as she nodded she remembered very well, though at that meter she 'd had no real stake in him. Looking him up and down she had to admit she indisputable did now ! `` I 'm sorry I forgot you have had an experience with them. I hate being wild how did you make it it ? ''

'' I just kept my brain busy with everything I was doing. You might think about what you will suffer to do when you and your ship are reunited. '' Greeson replied.

'' I 'm certain that the ship 's A.I. would 've allowed you to wake me. '' Mara said.

Holographic Shelby appeared shaking her head no. `` I am afraid that Warrant officer Greeson is chasten. Your wellness comes before social visit. I will allow though, for you to be awoken later. That is if you discontinue your struggle against the bio-bed. I can score allowances in that case. ''

list down Greeson lightly kissed mara, sending a shock through her system. `` I 'll see you tomorrow. ''

'' You remember our promise I 've done my division, now it 's your turn. '' Mara reminded him.

'' I remember, I 'll do my damnedest to come back after all this. '' Greeson told her, and then walked out.

walking in the grooming area Dempsy was waiting. Looking up at Greeson 's approach he nodded at the look of determination on the Danton True Young man 's face. Finally ! Perhaps now they could get in a few ripe days. Again Dempsy hoped it was enough to stay fresh the boy alive long enough for him to get there and finish her off.

As soon as they started Dempsy could see that Greeson was more life-threatening than he 'd been to date, good ! Perhaps there was hope for him after all. Dempsy was nodding when Greeson got through his defenses for the very kickoff time striking Dempsy 's arm. Finally Dempsy thought, as he increased his amphetamine.

For the future several hours both men went at each other fighting almost to a tie-up. Suddenly stopping Dempsy held up a hand. `` You are finally fast sufficiency, now I can start out to teach you the techniques I have been wanting to. Remember do not be deceived by her attempt to gain mercy. She has no such word in her vocabulary. ''

For the next few hr Dempsy started to teach the first of several techniques that would pull through his animation if worse came to worse. The unit meter he had Greeson doing zilch but the technique getting faster and faster 'til Greeson was almost a blur. `` just now continue 'til I return. '' Dempsy told the man.

Walking out Dempsy made his way back to the med bay. `` May I be permitted to speak to Captain Callie ? '' Dempsy asked Holographic Shelby. Who only nodded yes.

Dolichotis patagonum looked over to see Dempsy at the door. My god she thought as she saw the silver oak leaves on his neckband. He really was a colonel !

Greeson saw her staring and grimaced. `` Yeah, he tricked me again gave me these to begin with today. I hate being an police officer have always been a follower. Might be what my master meant when he said I was ready. Though 'til this is over, I do n't feel that well-heeled yet. '' Here Dempsy bowed to her. I am here to thank you. Your presence and action mechanism seemed to receive inspired Greeson to a eminent stage. One I was hoping he extend to sooner. ''

'' Me ? '' Mara replied shocked.

Nodding Dempsy continued. `` You seem to bring out the best in him. I am grateful. '' Bowing again Dempsy left a completely bewildered Dolichotis patagonum.

The next day over Earl Tauntoff 's satellite ten ships parked in scope. Derrick could only judder his top dog at the report that he 'd received about two ships that had battled near the moon. The fact that no one could observe them let him know that it had to be the sect and Trianas. Great he thought as if one was n't bad enough now they both were here.

Dempsy appeared a import later. `` Yes sire you called for me ? ''

'' I 've received a composition about a send struggle near the moon of this satellite. Anything look familiar, '' Derrick asked.

Dempsy was nodding then his eyes narrowed. `` So they both are here. Perhaps it is finally metre to put my past shame behind me. '' Bowing low Dempsy said, `` I thank you sir, it ends soon one way or another, it ends soon. ''

'' Before you go, '' Derrick said as he handed Dempsy two flatware bars with three origin on them. `` Please give these to Greeson. I think Chief warrant police officer 3 is more befitting. ''

Dempsy smiled as he said thank you as he headed back to the education room .
