Hartwell looked at the micro-generator reading, the shield was starting to tax the generator. Damn it! He couldn’t kill these bastards fast enough! Where had this ass gotten this many men that were as loyal as they were? Touching the other thin badge like apparatus, Hartwell smiled when it hummed and he appeared a mile away! Good he thought, give the generator a little time to recharge the power cell.   Trianas Macley adjusted her settings as she quickly approached the Duke’s planet. As much as she hated to help that bastard O’Toma, she was pretty miffed at the Duke for screwing up all her carefully laid plans. Suddenly her ears perked up at a transmission.  [You got a reading on him?] Came a male voice.   [Reading? The man has decimated well over half …

Derrick was fighting to open his eyes ugh! He felt like he’d been kicked a few times and possibly run over. For some strange reason he felt he needed to be mad at Mary when he woke up but for the life of him he couldn’t seem to remember why. It was at that moment he noticed that he was far more tired than he usually was.Mary and Shelby went over his readings again, the nanomites were working at 100% to boost his energy levels. Mary was starting to worry a bit that she and Shelby had performed the procedure far too soon. Problem was Mary had done it many times and had never had a subject not come out better or quickly. Shelby was half tempted to delve back in, the kiss Derrick had …

Derrick looked at the readings again, so far all tests that they had done hadn’t work but rather failed miserably. So far only one energy shroud had even half way worked, but coming out of trans-warp had destabilized the shroud, detonating the missile. Still he had to run the gamut of all the shrouds, then work from there, he felt uneasy with the thing as close as it was. He’d thought of wrapping the missile in the shroud and starting it so it could fly outside the galaxy but that was out of the question as it would be out of fuel long before it reached the open space between galaxies. Sitting, Derrick thought I’m missing something, some factor that I haven’t taken into account. Going through everything again Derrick still wasn’t finding anything that …

You were called Sherry?” Still somewhat in shock Derrick could only stare at the hologram of the young woman. “Why yes Sire,” the slender brown haired teen replied. “Is there something wrong with that name? I can change it for you Sire. What is your command for me? I am anxious to once again serve the empire and you my lord.” “No Sherry, there is nothing wrong with the name; it is a proud and honorable name. It also happens to be the name of my mother, wear it with pride.” Sherry looked at Derrick her face beaming, to be given a name by the …

Joseph Hartwell was standing there with his mouth hanging open there was no way in hell that he was going to believe that O’Toma was emperor. Shaking his head he had to sit, almost as if by magic a seat appeared under him. “I’m sorry I am finding this a little too hard to swallow.” That was when Hartwell started to laugh. “It’s a good one I have to admit, now then, I really need to meet or talk to the man. The genius, that brought about the capture of over 100 pirate ships, near the old ship yards.” Sighing Derrick wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to prove to this man he was the genus emperor. Mary appeared a moment later. “Rear Admiral Hartwell,” she stated. “Do you by chance recognize me?” Nodding …

Even as he was watching, he saw Mellos’s ship open fire on Drivas and Thellus’s ship. ‘Damn it,’ he thought, ‘I haven’t enough strength yet! What the hell was her problem? First, she ran like a scared rabbit, now she’s hunting me.’ Sam was about to turn back when he ‘heard’ Drivas. [Keep going Sam, our shields are more than powerful enough. We also have a secret weapon of our own.] Shrugging, Sam turned back toward the sun feeling his strength steadily increase. I have to get closer he thought. My strength isn’t going up fast enough. Problem is, can I break free if I get too close? Well, only one way to find out. Doing his best to accelerate, Sam was finally starting to feel more like he’d been before this episode. That’s when …

He was still wondering why he’d been singled out by the Rangers and the Emperor. Shaking he remembered the execution of the Republic President a most horrid way to die. His mouth dropping agape, he really started to shake, what had he done. He’d sworn loyalty to the man a hell of a lot better man than the repulsive president was. Putting his head back proudly he knew he hadn’t done anything therefore he had nothing to fear. Derrick watched the man in the small room as the range of emotions ran the gauntlet on his face. Ah! …
