Hartwell was still sitting there with his mouth open. They had a prisoner sure, though a naked female? What in the hell were they going to do with a naked female. A wry smile came to his lips then he slapped his face. Damn it Johnathon, now isn’t the time to think about that!

Getting up he walked his way slowly to the med bay. Maybe Lucie could get her covered up before he got there.

Finally reaching the med bay, Hartwell was about to walk in then stopped at the threshold. Damnit! The female was still naked!

“I thought you’d put something on her by now.” Hartwell told Lucie.

“Why? She’s a female, I’m a female, we’ve got pretty much the same equipment. I figured since you weren’t here I thought, why bother with it. Since you’re here though, you can handle it.” She then turned to go, stopping at the door to smirk at her brother. “After all you’re a man, I know you can handle it.” Then she walked out her laughter echoing off the walls.

Hartwell again shook his head as he looked at the female on the bio-bed. “Johnathon, report!”

Johnathon appeared a moment later, “She was severely oxygen deprived. She was also at the beginning of the sterilization that the Tendrax people are experiencing. I should be able to cure that within a few days. I am still scanning her for any damage that the oxygen deprivation might have caused.”

“Good, also Johnathon?” Hartwell asked.

“Yes, Admiral prime?” Johnathon replied.

“Do something about her not wearing clothes.” Hartwell said with a lump in his throat. Again he shook his head, he and the team had been through hell, horrors men shouldn’t see and have survived. Yet here he was shaking like a new recruit on the battle field, pissing his pants. All because of a naked female? Face it Hartwell, he thought, you really have gotten soft like the commander said.

Derrick was about to take a drink when his wrist comm. went off. Looking at the code he saw that it was Hartwell. “You alright Admiral?” he asked.

“I am sorry to disturb you Commander.” Hartwell told him. “Just returned with the prisoner.” Here Hartwell sighed.

Derrick screwed his face up puzzled. “What’s wrong, did you have to kill them?”

“No sir. It was a female, a NAKED female. What in the hell do you expect me to do with a naked… On second thought don’t answer that.” Hartwell said with a look of chagrin on his face.

“Bring her here as soon as possible.” Derrick told him.

“I will sir, though that might be a bit. She was unconscious in a life capsule with a brain box attached to it.” Hartwell explained.

Derrick nodded as he disconnected from Hartwell. He was suddenly watching, as a small girl and boy began to run circles around him and Shelby chasing each other.

Derrick bent down to separate the obviously fighting duo. “Give it back to me!” The little girl was yelling at the boy. Derrick could only shake his head.

“I think it would be best if you do, also.” Derrick said making a face at the boy who immediately withdrew, handing something to the girl.

The little girl turned to hug Derrick tight. “Thank you, mister nice man!” Then she surprised him and Shelby by kissing his cheek. Mary appeared a moment later waving a finger at the girl, she leaned into Derrick whispering. “I think I’m in trouble, here comes the see through lady.”

“I heard that!” Mary said.

Derrick couldn’t hold back any longer, he then started to chuckle then laugh loudly. “Ah! My dear Shelly, it is always a pleasure to see you.”

A moment later Mika walked up to take Shelly from Derrick. “I’m sorry sire, if she bothered you. They find it boring staying in the lab with me.”

Derrick gave Mika a huge smile as he replied. “They were no problem at all. I am grateful to have all of you here.”

Mika’s face dropped a moment as she asked quietly, “Still no word on when Gunter gets back?”

Derrick smiled as he told her, “No, not yet, though I am hoping to have another message from him soon. If I recall he is nearing the end of the assignment I gave him.”

“I really hope so sire. The boys and Shelly miss him fiercely, as does his wife.” Mika told him.

“I know Mika, remember he has Grant and Jimison with him. I am hoping they are home soon.” Derrick told the worried woman. ‘They better make it back alive, I don’t break my word and I don’t want to start now.’

Mika was nodding her head, “I just wish that there wasn’t all this secrecy.”

Shelby turned to Derrick, then back to Mika. “As do I Mika. Though I do understand, with all the enemies we have unfortunately, it is necessary. I myself, as Empress am not privy to everything.”

Derrick could only nod as he tried to hide an embarrassed look on his face. “At the present time, I am afraid that it is necessary.”

“Ummmmmmm yes, though I hope that in the future that it isn’t.” Shelby stated with a determined look on her face.

At the edge of the Galaxy three small craft suddenly appeared. One wasn’t doing that well as they started in toward the Imperial world. Onboard the damaged ship, the occupant was doing all he could to stay on course.

“You know he’s going to kill me if I can’t get this back to him.” The damaged ship’s occupant told the other two.

“After what we found, I think he’ll more than forgive you. Especially after that close call near the Tendrax home world.” One of the other ship’s occupants replied.

“Still they weren’t as scary as the Cregons or those damn Delcrons! I thought that one, was going to rip my face off because I didn’t attack him.” The damaged ship man said.

“I thought you read the briefing.
