Derrick’s eyes were wide, he’d already finished Conner and was already working on Ace’s? Looking around Derrick called, “Mary? I damn sure hope you are keeping tabs on me!”

“Yes sire,” came Mary’s voice from the air. “I still have you on tracking sir.”

“What’s the status of the capacity indicator?” Derrick was yelling to the air.

“At present sire, you appear to be at just over 1/2. I must say sire yours is an incredible mind! Sire!” Mary spoke up a moment later, according to the pain sensors you threshold is being approached quickly, I suggest…”

Derrick looked around for Ace but again the room was empty! Shaking his head Derrick was about to call Mary when another tall blonde male appeared in front of him. Bowing low the teen male stated, “Sire I am deeply honored that you are in my library!”

Derrick had to do another double take, “Lars? What in the hell?! Three ships in just 30 minutes? Mary are you sure the suppressors are working at full capacity? I seem to be pulling information far faster than I did before.”

“Yes sire, though I suggest that after you collect all that is here you take a rest period even with your cognitive abilities it still may stress your system. I am at present reading your capacity at 60% remarkable for the sheer amount of information you have taken.” Mary informed him.

“Alright just make sure you are able to withdraw me. I don’t want another incident when I when I started doing this. We almost lost Shelby then, that won’t happen again!” Derrick shouted. A moment later Derrick started to feel the amount of information in his mind. They really came through this time. Somehow I have to do something for them. What could I give them? They are already in a place they have wanted to be for a long time.

As Derrick debated over what he could do for Rayburn and Kimison, Mary was just a little worried. Thanks to the commands that Derrick had used, she was now restricted unless his life was truly in peril. As of yet he wasn’t there but the pain indicators rising as they were had her worried.

“I am reading near completion of Lars library. Beginning withdrawal now.” Mary was saying.

Derrick blinked his eyes, confused for a moment where am I he thought? Looking around he saw two Marys. Then Shelby, Hartwell and Dempsy? “Not to sound ungrateful but why are you here?” Derrick said to Dempsy.

Hartwell quickly spoke up, “It was thought that with his knowledge of the body and pressure points he would prove invaluable.”

Derrick thought a moment then nodded, “Ah! I see thank you both of you. I appreciate your concern.”

“Sire,” Dempsy said bowing low, “you are helping to restore the honor of my self and my clan. You will always have the support of all of us.” Derrick groaned as Dempsy bowed again, bringing a smile not only to Hartwell but Dempsy’s face also.

“You are just to hard on your self, but you have to remember sire.” Hartwell started, “you are now the most important person alive right now. You hold all the codes and commands that will put the empire back. I for one am excited to be a part of this!”

Derrick smirked, easy for him to say! He wasn’t the one going around with all the death threats. “Shelby how long…?” Derrick started.

“I’d say we are about a day from the next destination. We have already received calls letting us know that they will be ready for us when we arrive. I have done as you asked and have been monitoring the planet for days. It was as you thought there was a massive amount of activity as soon as they discovered we were on our way.” Shelby reported.

“Does it appear to be the same type of activity as you witnessed on the first planet? Make a comparison, go through all data I want to be completely armed with the information when I go down there.” Looking back around at Dempsy Derrick asked, “Will you be better prepared this time? I have watched you training all of them, Greeson in particular.”

Dempsy came forward and bowed again drawing another groan from Derrick. “I have the rest of them trained very well, they could hold off most of the sect. Greeson has been making progress especially after he got past disappointing me. I told him he hadn’t, for as you know if he had I’d have already killed him. I am hoping he will know enough soon to help me kill Trianas.”

“Good I still have Mary searching for her ship. It appears she kept improving her tech also. Her light shield is comparable to anything we have. I suggest caution when you meet up with her in space. We can’t be sure exactly what she has.” Looking up Derrick called, “Thomas are you and Conner having any trouble integrating the redoubler?”

“Hell no! This thing is fucking fabulous! We ought to be able to blow the hell out of the sect with this!” Derrick heard Thomas reply.

“Why do you sound far more excited about this than I think you should?” Derrick asked the over joyous hologram of Thomas.

“Don’t know but this triple particle cannon makes the wait well worth it!” Thomas went on causing Derrick to shake his head.

“Just remember Thomas you work for me damn it!” Thomas stopped and looked at Derrick in shock.

“I am always loyal to you sire I always will be. I am sorry if I upset you sir.” Thomas was visibly shaken and upset.

“Good you need to remember that!
