“Prime candidate, the emperor, is expecting you in the throne room in an hour,” Ellen said, then noticed that Kondo was swaying a bit.
“The emperor?” Kondo asked.
“Yes, that is what most of the population of the empire call him. The one you call supreme leader,” Ellen tried to explain as Kondo started to sway again.
“Uh huh,” Kondo said as he started to feel very light-headed. Mechanical arms shot out of the walls of the bridge as Kondo finally went down.
Mary appeared a moment later as a syringe came out also and was injected into Kondo’s arm. A worried Derrick appeared a moment later.
“At least he made it here, was he overstimulated?” Derrick asked.
“I believe so sire, he was very excited to see the ship. He was a lot like the commanders were when they first came aboard. He wanted to touch everything,” Ellen said.
Derrick nodded as he remembered how in love with everything they saw when they were first aboard. Derrick sighed, he’d been afraid that the youth would become unglued when he saw everything.
“Alright, brief him and transport him as soon as possible. We need to have him trained as soon as possible. At the moment we only have four primes, we need more,” Derrick said.
It was a few hours later when Kondo jerked awake. He looked around, staring at the strange room. He shook his head as he was starting to become concerned.
He remembered being on the ship, then there was that woman that he could see through. She had said that she was a holo-gram?
That was the last thing he remembered, before he woke up here. A shimmering appeared next to him, showing the same woman.
“Ah, good you’re awake. The Emperor wanted to know as soon as you awoke. I have already alerted him, and he is on his way here,” Mary said.
Kondo’s mouth dropped open, he was coming here? “I am nobody, why would he come here?”
“You have shown the ability to hear me and the EIG’s thoughts in mind mode. This allows you to communicate with them far faster than talking,” Mary said.
Kondo’s mouth dropped open again, “You mean like the ship I came here on?” Mary nodded as Kondo sat hard at this news. “So, I am far behind all of you with my ability to do this, even if it has been a dream.”
“There are ways to enter the knowledge into your mind that won’t hurt you,” Mary said.
Kondo shook his head as fear started to grip him. “I am afraid mam, very afraid. If this doesn’t work, then I am a vegetable,” Kondo said as he started to shake.
A moment later there was a knock on his door and he got up to open it. Kondo’s mouth dropped open and eyes flew wide when he saw that it was Derrick.
Kondo bowed all the way to the floor, “supreme leader,” he said. “I am honored to meet you. Miss, uh, I never learned her name. She was telling me a great many things, things I am unsure of.”
“It is Mary, prime candidate,” Mary said Kondo, not noticing, for now.
Derrick sighed as he sat in a chair in the room. “Please Kondo, please get off the floor. It is so difficult to talk to you down there. Sit beside me, I will try to help you with all your questions,” Derrick said, patting the chair beside him.
Kondo sat as Derrick spent the next hour answering all the questions that Kondo had. Kondo himself was far more confused than he thought.
“Perhaps we can put a bit of the knowledge into you so it will be easier?” Derrick asked.
Kondo looked at Derrick and quietly asked, “Sir? Will it hurt? I don’t want to lose who I am or my family, which is my main fear.”
Derrick looked at Mary as she held a slightly shocked look. She quickly scanned Kondo, finding that the older teen was exactly what they needed.
Mary’s demeanor and face softened, “No young prime, from all I see, it shouldn’t hurt at all. As a matter of fact, it might tickle a bit.”
Kondo thought about it for a few moments, then nodded. “What are you putting in me?” Kondo asked.
“We are starting with the knowledge to run the EIG. We don’t want to put in too much to start, it shouldn’t take more than a few days,” Mary said with a smile.
Mary told Kondo to lay down, then a thin light at the end of an arm extended from the wall. It passed over Kondo’s head three times, then stopped. Then it passed three times again, with that, it was retracted back into the wall.
Kondo lay there for a moment, then his eyes went wide. “Trans-warp technology I see though it could be improved, I don’t have the knowledge.”
Derrick looked at Mary as they had a conversation in his head. Immediately, another light on an arm came out and scanned all of Kondo. Mary’s head shook no with Derrick releasing a sigh.
Kondo sat up a new look of clarity in his eyes. “What do we need to do next?” Kondo asked.
“I think you need to rest and allow your mind to assimilate the information you just gained,” Derrick said, to which Kondo nodded, then laid back, closing his eyes.
“I will monitor him sire,” Mary said. Derrick nodded as he left to check on the others.
Derrick knocked at the first door he came to, then was asked to enter. In the room, he saw that Kimon was in the bio-bed. Oni was standing guard over him, not allowing him to sit up, as if he could.
Derrick smiled a moment, then frowned, he remembered Oni destroying two bio-beds. It was possible, but Kimon would have to be at full health.
“Brigadier General,” Derrick said as he entered the room. He then looked at Oni. “I take it you are maintaining that he stays here and heals?”
“I am Sire,” she said as she slightly bowed. “With the mental shock that he and the other two received, we are watching.”
“Sir,” Kimon started, then was quiet when Derrick held up a hand.
“When you are cleared, then you’ll be released. Don’t think you can break free. After Oni destroyed two bio-beds, they have been re-engineered. They are a hell of a lot stronger.”
Derrick almost laughed when Dempsy grimaced, then laid back down. “Thank you Sire,” Oni said as she bowed low.
“I’ll check later,” Derrick said as he left the room.
He went a short distance to another room nearby, knocking before a voice said come in.
Derrick stuck his head in the door hearing Greeson complaining. “I am fine, I need to get out of here!”
“I really don’t think that will be possible. You are as bad as your master, so I’ll tell you as I did him. Do not attempt to escape the bio-bed after Oni broke two, they have been reinforced. You like him, have to be cleared before you can return to duty,” Derrick said.
“Cleared? What are you talking about? I am feeling fine,” Greeson said.
Derrick looked at Greeson’s readings that were similar to Kimon’s. “I see that you have forgotten the high amount of energy that your body absorbed like your masters. “Til we know that the both of you are mentally well, you’re not going anywhere!” Dedrrick said.
Greeson sighed, then looked at his wife. “You have to return soon, don’t you?” Greeson sadly said.
“No, not for a while, I know that you are in contact with your ship,” Derrick said, answering for Mara. “You need to be ready at a moment’s notice though.”
Mara nodded as she hugged Greeson closer, “Thank you Sire,” Mara said.
“Alright Major, stay here and heal,” Derrick said as he left the room.
The next room Derrick came to; he had to wait a moment before he was asked to enter.
Kimison looked up as Derrick entered the room, Kimison’s wife, Medalina, standing guard by his bed. “Sire,” she said as soon as she saw him.
Derrick nodded to her, “Medalina, how is he?”
“He is healing very well, I am growing impatient for him to be whole,” she said with a sigh.
“I am getting better though the bio-bed seems slow. I might need to look at them,” Kimison said.
Derrick nodded then asked, “status of patient?”
A voice came from the air, “At present the patient is seventy-five percent healed. Most injuries that remain are internal. The heart organ has sustained the most damage, though it is now operating at sixty-five percent. Perhaps another three or four days for release.
Kimison nodded as he said, “Good, I can get some work done,” as he pulled out a drawing/writing tablet.
“Alright Commander, get better,” Derrick said as Medalina nodded. Before he could leave, Rayburn and Cetalina entered the room. “Cetalina, Commander,” he said, then left.
He had one more room to go to, this one he’d also kept a close eye on, especially since the attack by Risen. He approached the fourth room knocking, at least ‘til Derrick entered.
At the vocal enter, he moved in seeing Admiral Shiloh, his daughter Shelly and his wife and her mother Mita. Much like Kimon and Greeson, Gunter was complaining ‘til he saw Derrick.
“Like I told the other two, you need to heal. These bio-beds have been re-enforced. I wouldn’t try to escape. After Oni destroyed two, we upgraded even she shudders at them now,” Derrick said as he looked at the readings. “You, like the rest, have at least four days, enjoy it.”
Derrick left the room feeling better that they were almost back to full duty. Though he was still worried about Dempsy and Greeson.
With a sigh, he walked further on, he entered the residence wing. Stopping before a very thick door, it opened immediately.
“Derrick, I’m in here,” a female voice said. “Are you alright?” the voice asked.
Derrick sighed, then sat heavily on a chair in the common room. A blond, green-eyed slender woman came from the back room.
Shelby came up behind Derrick and started to massage his shoulders. “Anything I can help you with?” she said.
Derrick started to shake his head no then stopped remembering a discussion like this not long ago. “It’s just so much going on, the same things. Then there is the new prime that Mary discovered, something is tickling my mind just can’t remember.”
It had to do with a very old legend about a powerful weapon. Then there was the fact that it also dealt with three planets. Derrick shook his head as it slipped away from his mind.
Derrick conveyed all this to Shelby, but she was at an even larger loss. “The only reason I remember is, it was in a military history class.”
Shelby nodded her head as she thought that she would do research for him. “I’ll look up what I can, Derrick. Um Derrick, I hate to ask, but Mary has mentioned about an heir again.”
“I know Shelby, as I told her, there really isn’t the time. This newest enemy has sent more than two million ships our way,” Derrick said.
Shelby sat with Derrick as she grabbed a tablet to research for Derrick.
A moment later Shelby appeared, “Derrick? The improvements have safely decreased Re-gen to less than a week.”
Derry appeared next, “Sire, it appears that we have four more ready.”
This had Derrick sitting up quickly. “This is wonderful news, having more ships will aid greatly in destroying the invaders.”
A moment later several scratchy vocal signals were heard. “Hello?” said one.
“Mother,” two more said.
“Father? You feel different,” a fourth said.
“The Emperor wishes to talk to you,” Shelby said.
There were several gasps as Derrick spoke up. “As I always do, I ask for your names.”
Suddenly, four weak holo-grams appeared, a blond male, a dark-haired female. Then a red-haired female and a light brown-haired male.
“Sire,” they all said, then bowed.
