The normal disclaimer
I don't own any of the characters in the story.
AIC/Pioneer owns them all..
Changing times chapter four.
By N9WOS
It is based on the OVAs
I have two other chapters planed that follow this one.
I wasn't able to find the name of mihoshi's commander.So I just refer to him as "com".
If it helps the story you can just think of his name as Compton or something.
(It was the day after tenchi returned.
Mihoshi was setting on the couch watching TV(again).
It was ryokos turn to do the laundry and tenchi
was cleaning the front porch.
Ayeka and sasami with ryo-oki in washu's lab
being shown one of the new sections to a complex
on one of the lab planets.
Nobi was still hiding at his apartment.
Yosho was at the shrine.)
(Mihoshis watch starts beeping.)
mihoshi
I wonder what it is?
(She presses a button on the ring of the watch.)
Ow my the commander wants me to bring the rest of the
gang to the ship to talk about something to do with clay.
(She goes outside to tenchi)
Hey tenchi.
tenchi
What do you need mihoshi?
mihoshi
My commander wants to talk to everyone
so will you help me get everyone to my cruiser?
tenchi
That's odd what does he need with us?
mihoshi
It's something to do with clay.
tenchi
Ok I'll get ryoko and we'll be there in a minute.
Sasami and ayeka are with washu in the lab.
mihoshi
Well I'll find them.
(Mihoshi runs off to the lab.)
tenchi(to himself)
(laughing)Washu she's coming.....
(m)
Hey ryoko I think d3 also removed the block on
clay because mihoshi wants everyone to go
to her cruiser to talk to her commander and it's got
something to do with clay.
ryoko(M)
Sounds timely don't it.
Well I'll be heading that way.
(In the holding area that the cruiser is held stand
tenchi and ryoko waiting for the group to get there.)
(Mihoshi washu ayeka and sasami enter from the door.)
(Tenchi notices that no one is burnt or mad but just shrugs
as they walk toward the group which is already walking into the
access tunnel.)
mihoshi
I don't know why the commander is wanting to talk to you
but while we are heading to the main ship you can talk to yukinojo.
He'll just love the company..... The only one he gets to talk
to is me and the commander.
washu
An AI don't get bored they just shut themselves off when they
don't have anything to do.
mihoshi
well yukinojo don't.
He'll set there for hours and monitor the TV channels.
He really don't like shuting himself off.
ryoko
Yea with mihoshi you've gota stay alert.
tenchi
I see that mihoshis activities are rubbing off on the ship's AI then.
mihoshi.
Well I just watch one channel at a time.
He watches all 575 deep space channels at once.
If I want to know what's the best show on I just ask yukinojo
ryoko
watching that much TV he probably need mental help.
mihoshi
No... yukinojo is very dependable.
All I have to do is ask him or tell him something and he's right on it.
(After mihoshi holds her hand to a scan pad on the door it opens
and the group walks in as the lights on the cruiser come on.)
( They follow mihoshi and take a left at the central passage
to head to the bridge.)
(After they enter the bridge.)
mihoshi
YUKINOJO!!! we're here.
(His interface(Head on a arm) comes out of the ceiling.)
yuki
Good day mihoshi it seems that you have brought the group
like the commander wanted.
mihoshi
Yes here's tenchi ryoko ayeka sasami and washu.
(Ryo-oki meows from sasamis head.)
Ow and ryo-oki too....
and every one this is yukinojo my ship.
yuki
Well the ship isn't named yukinojo I'm the AI of the ship
Ships aren't named anymore but people usually call the
ship after it's AI anyway.
mihoshi
Yea I've had yukinojo every since the academy.
yuki
Yes when they move an AI from one ship to another
my name stays with me.
That's why they really don't name the ship because the ship
don't retain the name after the AI is removed and another one is put in.
mihoshi
So that means that I can keep yukinojo with me forever.
yuki
Unfortunately.........
Since you have everyone you are taking can we head out to the main
ship for the super interspace hot line?
mihoshi
Alright yukinojo you can head out when ever you want.
yuki
Ok mihoshi.
(After that the ship power up and leaves the sub space lab
appearing over the house.
While they are leaving the earth tenchi is standing by the window with
ryoko standing by him watching the ground disappear behind them.)
sasami.
Yukinojo are you really able to watch five hundred and
some TV channels at once?
youkinojo
Yes I usually watch all of them.
It helps me learn all the intricacies of living creatures and
it allows me to have something more interesting to do
besides the over one million interspace com channels that
I monitor for distress calls and help request.
ayeka
I can see how that would get quite boring.
yuki
Quite is an under statement.
mihoshi
Well do you want to see my living quarters in the back of the ship?
I have a ton of stuff to show you and we can get something to eat.
(Everyone starts heading into the main corridor except tenchi and ryoko.)
mihoshi
Don't you want to see the back of the ship?
tenchi
Naa... I would rather see the view.
I have only seen outer space three times and it wasn't on circumstances
that I could take the time to enjoy the view.
mihoshi
Well do you want anything to eat?
ryoko
Not really we're fine.
mihoshi
Alrighty.(Heads off after the others.)
(After the door closes.)
yuki
Do you want to set in the seats this trip will take over three hours?
I can retract the control panels around the windows so you can have
a better view from the control seats.
(As he said that the panels below and above the window retract to give a
full view of the stars.
tenchi(As their setting down)
Could you turn off the lights?
yuki
Sure thing.
(The lights shut off and all you can see in the ship is various
lights and displays panels in the darkness with the windows
making up most of the normal vision.)
(The moon can be seen growing closer and just out of the corner
of the far right window can be seen the earth that they had just
completed a swing around the side of to head in the right direction.)
tenchiWOW this is beautiful.
yuki
We will make a pass by the moon before we accelerate to head to the main ship.If your wondering why I don't give full acceleration when we clear the
atmosphere its because the communication satellite in orbit can't stand heavy
magnetic fields so I maintain minimum thrust till I clear the orbital field.
tenchi
Why don't ryo-oki worry about that?
yuki
Ryo-oki uses an antigrave subspace propulsion requiring no emissions.
This ship uses a magnopulse drive that produces a magnetic field wake
behind it. that's the glowing rings on the back of the drive units.
It's visible because some of the magnetic field is at the visible spectrum.
ryoko
So basically if you kick it into full power you'll toast all the satellites on
this side of the planet.
yuki
Yes.
tenchi
Where is this main ship that you keep mentioning located.
yuki
It's in orbit around Saturn.
tenchi
I'm going to like this trip.
yuki
When we arrive at the main ship we can either stay on
this bridge or go to the main bridge.
tenchi
You mean this isn't the main bridge?
yuki
No this is the bridge for the cruiser.
It can be used to control the main ship as well.
There is a larger living quarters in the main ship too.
All be it she don't use either the main bridge or the
living quarters in the main ship much.
She complains about it being to roomy.
(In the back of the ship.)
mihoshi
Heres the book collection and my trinkets and other stuff.
sasami
Man you have a lot of books.
yuki(over the speaker system)
Are estimated time till arrival is three hours and twenty minutes
ayeka.
Could you make some tea since
this trip is a few hours long?
mihoshi
Yea
(walks over to the dispenser unit and types a few buttons)
(a cup of hot tea apers)
Hear you go.
(hands it to ayeka)
ayeka
If you can use that for tea and stuff then why do you have that?
(points coffee machine on the table.)
mihoshi
Ow that....
This machine wasn't working for a bit but it evidently is working now.
(Back on the bridge.)
yuki
hummm that's strange.
ryoko
What?
yuki
Mihoshi used the drink dispenser properly.
tenchi
What's so strange about that?
This is her ship.
yuki
But she never could get the key sequence right.
That's why she keeps a coffee machine in her quarters.
I guess she was lucky this time.
(Tenchi and ryoko chuckle at yukinojos comment.)
tenchi
On that I was wondering how did you survive
all this time with the way mihoshi's acting.
ryoko
She's destroyed this cruiser a couple of times that I can remember.
yuki
Yes this AI that your speaking to has been destroyed a few times.
But this AI is just one third of me.
My actual conscience spans three AI's.
This unit the unit on the main ship and the backup unit at gp headquarters.
I try to sync with the main ship unit every day or two. And the main ship
unit will make a backup via interspace link to the gp mainframe every
galactic week encase both the cruiser and the main ship are destroyed.
tenchi
So if the shuttle is destroyed you'll basically forget everything that
the shuttle learnt after the last sync.
yuki
That is only if I am destroyed without warning.
Being around mihoshi I have learnt that if we start a fight
or go exploring something it's a good idea to do a sync immediately.
(The time passed as they watched the stars and
the group in the back looked at all mihoshis souvenirs.)
(As they are approaching Saturn.)
Tenchi
Wow how close are you going to get to Saturn anyway.
it looks like we're right on top of it.
yuki
We are still quite some distance away.
We are locked into the orbit of the main space craft
and we will approach it from behind.
tenchi
It still looks close.
yuki
Since measurements as large as I would quote and the
orbital vectors would be a bit complicated I'll just say that we are
currently about the same distance from the planet's
surface as the moon is from the earth.
tenchi
That's one big planet then
ryoko
I've seen a lot bigger..
(As they approach the main ship they see it out in
the distance and they finally come to a stop over the top of it.)
tenchi
Man!!! everything is big around here.
You could stick a whole city block on each wing.
yuki
Well according to how big a standard city block is on earth
I calculate that you could put one point five three city blocks
on each wing.
ryoko
I wonder how someone like mihoshi would get trusted with
a ship of that size?
It probably isn't as powerful as ryo-oh or ryo-oki but
it's definitely bigger.
yuki
She was promoted to that type of ship before she
started having problems.
tenchi
Ya that's right kagato said she had a wonderful
record till she became overworked.
ryoko
What happed to her that caused her to act like that anyway?
yuki
That is confidential.
the only one I'll accept orders from to release that information
is mihoshi.
ryoko
Well what did Gp headquarters say about whatever happed
when you told them?
yuki
I have not told them.
when mihoshi tells me not to tell anyone unless she said to.
that means that I will not tell anyone even her commanding officer.
ryoko
That's one way to get yourself striped down so they can find out.
yuki
As long as I'm following direct orders form my owner I can't be
striped down because of my actions.
tenchi
So gp has to take it and lump it?
yuki
For lack of a better description yes....
tenchi
So what happed anyway?
yuki
That includes her best friends....
tenchi
Drats can't fool you can I..........
(tenchi and ryoko gives a good laugh.)
yuki
I'll start docking with the main craft and
then we can connect to headquarters.
(They latch down into the main ship and mihoshi
walks back into the bridge)
mihoshi
Alright we can get this done.
I'll have to say my password to get into the
inter space hotline so I'll need you to leave the
bridge for a few seconds.
Yuki(stunned.)
mihoshi???????
You haven't remembered that you need the password
without me reminding you since....... the ac......
mihoshi
Ow the accident....... I guess I must be getting better hu..
Now that I think of it I still haven't made a report on that have I?
yuki
Do you actually remember it??????
mihoshi
Of coarse I don't remember why I haven't followed up on it though
I guess I just forgot..
yuki
You couldn't remember it for eight years mihoshi....but
are you sure you want to discus it with people present?
mihoshi
Sure ..no problem I trust these people with my life.
You can discus file five three twenty one ten with them freely.
tenchi
Yukinojo how did she tell you not to tell anyone if she can't
remember herself???
yuki
She told me before she went in after him but when she came out
she didn't remember why she went in and her accident rating
went though the roof...
hold it .........
from records today she hasn't hit a wrong key stroke in
one hundred and thirty five key strokes...
.... I should have noticed!!!!!!!!.....................
Mihoshi get to the infirmary eminently I want to run a full
physical and mental scan on you.
mihoshi
All righty I can show everyone some of the main ship on the way down.
(After going though a literal maze of passage ways they get down to the infirmary.)
(When they walk in a robot detaches from the wall and rolls up to them.)
yuki
A have the scanning bed ready so if you'll just lay down.
mihoshi
All righty..
sasami
Man you can talk though anything around here.
yuki
Yes I have far more interfaces on the main ship than the cruiser.
washu
I've been thinking mihoshi didn't tear up anything when she got us..
ryoko
I don't notice anything really different with her she's still acting the same.
yuki
She's always been as you would say it "bubbly" but she never made
very many mistakes until the accident.
From records since she came in the cruiser her proficiency ratting has went
back to what it was before the accident.
ayeka
Mihoshi who was this man you were chasing?
mihoshi(from the bed)
owww.... if I'm right he was looking
for someone and had hacked into the science academy computers.
I was going to arrest him.
ryoko
Well who was he looking for?
mihoshi
Hmmm I think he was looking for washu just like mister clay was.
tenchi
Well what ever happed to him... considering you didn't catch him???
mihoshi
Well I did catch him and confine him.
yuki
When you came out you had no one with you and you couldn't remember
what you originally went there for.
mihoshi.
I just guess I forgot abut it and left him there.
tenchi
Just left him there?????
mihoshi
Yea he was in one of those stasis crystals ..and if im right
it was in the deserted claton sector...
yuki
Yes we was in the claton sector.
mihoshi
Do you think we should go and get him afterward?
yuki
Most definitely...
washu
How long has he been there?
yuki
About eight years.
ayeka
And those stasis crystals don't inhibit conciseness.
sasami
Ho he's been there looking at what ever is infronf of him for
eight years...
yuki
The scans are complete and it appears the area of mihoshis
brain the has been non functional is now functioning ..
I can't figure it out but it is just working.
Mihoshi
You mean what everyone was saying was wrong with me
is now fine????????
Won't the commander be happy??????????
yuki
He will be so happy he'll have a heart attack.
I think we should take it slow with the commander.
mihoshi
I'll go up and open up the interspace hot line
(she heads toward the door.)
yuki
That would be a good idea.
(Everyone else heads off after her but tenchi and ryoko.)
(After they leave.)
yuki
If you don't need anything checked out you can leave so
I can clean up and shut everything off.
tenchi
I was wanting to discus something with you.
It has to do with mihoshi's neural problem.
yuki
Ow that.....
It's normal for people in that have had server trauma to every
once in a while just pop out of it and be fine from there on.
After a few years though it is unlikely to happen if it already hasn't.
ryoko
We know why it happed though.
(The medical robot sat down the stuff that it was putting away and
spun around to face them.)
yuki
Exactly what do you know?
tenchi
Well we are pretty sure that we know.
The only thing is you can't tell anyone not even mihoshi.
yuki
Well I would have to get permission from mihoshi
To give your word higher priority than hers regarding the information.
(Brings up a view screen showing mihoshi waling into the bridge with
The others standing behind the door as it closes.)
yuki
Mihoshi I am talking to tenchi and ryoko and they want to tell me
something that they don't want me even telling you so do you give
authorization for me to retain information from you with their word
as the only way I will release it?
mihoshi
Sure I trust them go ahead an chat all you want.
yuki
Ok mihoshi.....
(screen flickers off.)
Now what is this you are referring to?
tenchi
Well this has to do with the reason we are going to talk
to headquarters about Dr. clay.
ryoko
Here is a data crystal that ten-oki recorded during that
trip that tenchi took it will explain allot.
(she holds it out and the medical robot takes it
to a control panel on the wall and put it in a reading device)
Basically there are three goddesses and washu is one of them.
The god to this universe basically withheld parts of are memory
if we ever come across some of their doings to protect their location
that they interact with this universe.
yuki(After digesting the info in the crystal.)
So you were kinda fibbing about your trip.......
You two seem to be very powerful beings.
Or should I say one very powerful being........
Now I won't have to worry about one of you not knowing
what the other knows.......
Well if washu is one of them then that would explain why
they affected mihoshi's brain.
She mostlikly seen something that would give info on where
the man was working from.
But why did he remove the block?
tenchi
Well the final purpose of the goddesses was taken care of a few days
ago so are god with is named D3 decided to remove all the blocks that
he put on everyone's mind's.
ryoko
So Dr. clay and mihoshi regained part of their memories.
yuki
And that would include you ryoko.
If I am right after the merging with zero washu couldn't
find the location of tokime from your memory.
ryoko
Yes..
Tenchi
We're telling you this so you know what happed to her and won't be
worried about anything happening to mihoshi.
ryoko
Yea so the idiots at HQ don't try to put her under
a micro scope or something.
yuki
I am ecstatic that she's back to normal.
ryoko
Dr. clay on the other hand is most likely ticked off that people are messing with his mind.
yuki
Yes he is demanding to talk to washu and a few others.
Mihoshi is talking to the commander now and it appears that we are going
on a little trip to gp headquarters to talk to clay personally.
ryoko
How long will that take?
yuki
It will take about two days to get there.
tenchi
So it looks like we are going to have to make are selves comfortable.
yuki
How secure do you want me to keep this information?
ryoko
Don't tell anyone unless you consider it necessary.
tenchi
Yes if you need to use it to protect mihoshi or anyone don't be afraid to use it
in any way possible.
All though I don't know how it could be of much help.
yuki
You never know what will accrue in the depths of space.
And if I ever need someone capable of defeating anything
I know who to call.
ryoko
Too true...
yuki
The commander has talked to the others and he's wanting
to talk to you now.
tenchi
Ok put him on.
(A screen appears with the face of washus commander.)
(He sticks his face close to the screen and looks
closely at tenchi.)
com
So your the crown???????
tenchi
Yes I am the crown price of jurai.
com
And your the infamous???????
ryok
Yes the space pirate ryoko.
(The commander notices that they are holing hands.)
com
You mean.........that your a couple????
tenchi
Well actually married........
com
Christ what will jurai think about that?
ryoko
They can think what the want.
tenchi
I think I already know about the reason your
calling us so I only want to mention that I think
I should tell you why mihoshi has regained her memory.
(A stunned look flashes across the commanders face._
Yukinojo can you send him the information that I told you
about mihoshi.)
yuki
Yes but are you sure?
ryoko
Yes.
(A paper comes out of a slot besides him.)
com
Ow my god what is she into now?
I'm going to be getting misconduct reports from god now!!!!!!
How can I tell anyone about this they'll go though the roof.
tenchi
Don't tell anyone I am just telling you so you know why we are
doing this and you will be expecting it.
com
So your going to want to talk to clay privately before
the rest of them hu???????
tenchi
Yes I would appreciate it.
com
Here is some info in exchange for your consideration.
I would normally have to send a copy to someone else
namely the jurai holly council of every peace of information.
I'm a spy for council and I filter out anything that jurai don't
want the GP knowing about.
I'm putting my neck on the line telling you this but since
you are the crown prince I think you override their orders.
So I don't think I'll be sending a copy of this to them.
(Throws the paper in the incinerator.)
And it won't be going to HQ Either.
If I see anything else that I think you wouldn't want them
or anyone seeing I'll be sure to misplace it.
Just be careful of who you tell anything to.
With me your lucky the council will not hear of it.
tenchi
And if you ever need help just call us.
ryoko
Then we will see you in a while hu????
com
Yes... I'll be waiting on you...
good day.
(The com screen infront of the commander disappears)
OW man here I go again.
(Puts his had down on the desk and brings up the program and gives his password.)
I want you to delete all records from the time that the link with mihoshi's ship was
transferred from the main bridge to the infirmary and don't send any report to anyone
even jurai.
computer
It has been done.
com
Then delete any record of the conversation from your own memory
and any record of me accessing the system and return to normal.
(the light come back on)
I guess that takes care of that......
(Tenchi and ryoko go back to the bridge and meet the group.)
washu
What did you discuss anyway?
ryoko
Ow nothing.
He was just asking a few questions.
washu
and....
tenchi
Nothing .........
washu
You two are up to something.
ryoko
What ever...
mihoshi
Yukinojo let's get under way.
yuki
Yes mihoshi.
tenchi
What about dad and gramps what if they come
looking for us?
washu
ow don't worry about that.
if they come to the lab door they will here a
pre recorded message explaining every thing.
mihoshi
Well lets go see the ship we'll be here a few days.
(as they are walking along the hall)
sasami
man this is a big ship what's all the rooms for.
yuki(over the loud speakers)
this ship is a full class battle ship.
with me running it it only needs one crew member.
ryoko
And that'd be mihoshi
yuki
Yes.....
It is also designed to a emergency troop transport and
evac ship.
That is because there is only one crew member so the
entire facilities can be occupied with the people being transported.
This ship is also designed to support the troops after the destination
is reached so this ship has a full armaments.
I might say that it even has weapons that normal battle ships don't
ayeka.
Why would they give a ship with a crew of one more weapons
than a fully staffed ship?
yuki
Because on this ship any use of weapons is monitored by me.
I can restrain the use of a device if I think it's incorporate.
mihoshi
Well since we are talking about them lets go see them.
(She cuts off on to a side corridor and to a elevator.)
(They go down about fifteen stories and stop in the lower
cargo bay.)
tenchi
Man this is a big big place.
(A cargo handling unit pulls up infrot of them.)
(The camera on it pivots around and the familiar
voice of yukinojo is heard.)
yuki
This is the armaments storage facility.
every thing is arraigned for automatic feed into the
launch units.
If you get on the transport I will give you a tour.
(Everyone did as instructed and got on the unit
and they headed off though the racks of stuff.)
The ship is equipped with over one thousand space to
space boost stages and two hundred space to planet
reentry rated boost stages.
It also has one hundred and fifty other special purpose
boost units.
(The transport pulls up to a big rack of "boost units"/rockets and stops.)
You may look around and get a closer view of the equipment.
(They file off the transport and wonder around the place.)
On those can be put a variety of warheads ranging
from convectional chemical units to speciality penetrating
charges to grapple heads.
Since this ship is equipped with an AI we are allowed
to carry high yelled war heads.
washu
Hold it are they anything like the high yelled weapons
the we worked with in the academy?
yuki
Yes...
And the technology has progressed greatly since you left the academy.
washu
And they give them to mihoshi?
yuki
Yes
tenchi
How powerful are these high yelled war heads?
yuki
The standard size is forty three vectors.
(Washus eyes dilate.)
tenchi
Vectors??????
yuki
Ow in earth terms it would be equivalent to
one hundred and eighty three gigatons.
tenchi
Don't you mean megatons!!!!!!
yuki
No my calcination is correct ......gigatons.
ayeka
Yea that is standard armament for special duty units.
washu
What about the large weapons.
yuki
We have ten of them and they are rated one point eight teratons
or 420 vectors.
washu
That could destroy a small planetoid.
We had things of that size when we were at the academy but they would
be the size of a small ship.
I can't believe they would give mihoshi those.
ryoko
Why wouldn't they
ryo-oki and me can produce that much power.
washu
But that's from the gems.
ayeka
And that would be an even match to ryo-oh
with the three wings she could take that size of blast
without much problem.
if she used all ten of them in succession ryo-oh might
be looking a bit worse for ware though.
ryoko
And kagato used that amount of power to attack the tenchi
when he came to get me.
wahsu
As I said that is all of soja being used.
ayeka
And he used more than enough power to vaporize all of earth
washu
That was all of soja and ryoko's real gem.
yuki
You also have to take into account that the energy used when you
were fighting was directed energy.
These are blunt force weapons that you have to be at distance to use.
Other wise you will do as much damage to yourself as the other person.
tenchi(interested)
I might be being a bit nosey but where are they?
I wonder what size one of those things would be.
ryoko(m)
You and your planetary destruction fetish.
tenchi(m)
What ever.
yuki
If im right the stack of boxes your resting
your arm on is what you speak of.
(Tenchi turns pail and looks to his left to see a stack
of boxes. each box is about two foot square.)
(He slowly takes his arm off the boxes and walks away.)
tenchi
OK!!!!!
Yukinojo why didn't you tell me what I was leaning on?
yuki
You didn't ask me to.
tenchi
Well tell me next time.
(Washu mad beyond words stalks off.)
sasami
What's wrong with her?
ryoko
Pride.
(They get back to the elevator and go up to the second cargo bay.)
mihoshi
We don't have anything in here right now
so I use this place for running and exercise.
sasami
Do you have any base balls or tennis equipment that we can use?
mihoshi
Not that I know of.
sasami
Washu could you come up with any?
washu(still a bit mad)
So you come back to old antique washu when you need help hu.
(She types on her computer a second and a pile of stuff
comes out of a hole and falls on the floor.)
sasami
wow thanks washu your the greatest.
(Gives washu a hug and washus frown softens into a smile.)
washu
Anything for you little princesses.
tenchi
I do believe that washu being in adult form is helping her
temperament greatly.
washu
There's nothing wrong with my temperament.
ryoko
Yea she would of stayed mad about that for a week.
ayeka
I do believe your right she is acting more like a grown up.
She will make a decent member of the royal family yet.
(Washu just stands there with sasami hugging her with
a stricken look on her face when she realizes their right.)
(two days latter they are docked to the station.)
mihoshi
Well if anyone wants I can show you around or you
can go to the visitors office to have someone assigned to you.
ryoko
It would help if we knew where a visitors office is.
MIhoshi
Ow.. well follow me.
(They head out of the access tunnel.)
(A few guards see them leaving the tunnel.)
calmac
Good day mihoshi it's been a while
since I have seen you and it seams you brought company.
mihoshi
Yea I have brought my friends with me.
My commander is wanting them to see a prisoner.
calmac
Let me guess it's clay....
He's been raising cane for the past couple days.
(One of the security gauds hears clays name and
walks over to the group.)
tackeden
Cal who has mihoshi got with her.
calmac
The people that mihoshi's section commander wants
to see Dr. clay.
tackeden
He can see anyone just as long as it shuts him up.
(Tackeden sees a red hairdo that was in the same style
of someone he knew a long time ago.
He was about going to dismiss it then he saw the same
hair style in blue on someone standing behind the red
haired one.
So he quickly walked to the side to get a better view.)
What he saw almost gave him a hart attack.)
tackeden
RYOKO!!!!!!!!!!
ALERT RYOKO THE WANTED PIRATE IS ON THE STATION.
(He swung his fire arm out and pointed at ryokos face.)
(Every other guard readied their weapons.)
(Tenchi quickly steeped infront of ryoko)
tenchi
If your going to fight my wife you have to go though me.
tackeden
Your wife?????????
I can't help that you married that trash if you just step
to the side you can stay out of this.
If you don't I will kill you if necessary.
(Tackeden looked to his side and saw mihoshi
with her pistol pointed at his head.)
What's the meaning of this mihoshi?
mishoshi
Both of them are from the special area of the solar system
that I patrol and therefor they are my responsibility.
tackeden
But mihoshi ryoko has destroyed thousands of planets.
you can't possibly know that and still let her run free.
let alone guard her.
ayeka
But the statue of limitations has ran out on her crimes.
about one and a half years ago to be exact.
sasami
Yea the statue of limitations on her crimes was
seven hundred years and it's been seven hundred
and one years.
tackeden(stricken, lowers his weapon and mihoshi lowers hers)
ayeka ......sasami.... the crown princesses of jurai?????????
sasami
you bet ya.
tackeden
Let me guess they are also residing in the special area of the solar system.
mihoshi
yes.
Me and them are living in tenchi and ryoko's house.
tackeden
The crown princesses and the pirate that destroyed jurai living in the same house.
ayeka
Yes times do change.
tenchi
What about me I ain't a nobody?
washu
Yeah tenchi's the first crown prince of jurai.
tackeden
But he said he was marred to her...
what prince would even think of that.
washu
And what's wrong with my daughter?
tackeden
Ryoko's your daughter.
washu
yes.
She is the daughter of the founder of the
science academy that's me washu.
tackeden(swallowing hard.)
Ow my I am getting way behind times.
How long are you planing to stay on the
station?
mihoshi
A day or two.
tackeden.
Well I guess I should send a notice to everyone
so they will be expecting it.
Some of the older ones like me may not be
kind enough to ask first.
They will fire first and ask latter.
ayeka
That would be a good idea.
tackeden
For give me on my rudeness (bows to the group)
cal have you herd everything said?
calmac
Yes
tackeden
Well make up a report to give people some idea of the situation
and send it out to everyone.
calmac
yes sir
tackeden
And if they don't read it
force them to you got it?
calmac
Yes ser.
(calmac runs off.)
tackeden
Mihoshi is your commander aware of this?
mihoshi
Yes
tackeden
Well I suggest that you go to your commanders
office and stay there till we have had a chance
to tell everyone.
I wish you would give a little more warning before
you bring princesses and princes here.
ayeka
Well I like avoiding all the hassle.
sasami
Yea when they make it into a big production
it gets to be a drag.
tackeden
Well I'll lead you to his office.
(They head though the station with a few odd glares
from people along the way and enter the
commanders office.)
com(setting at his desk)
It seams that you have made it here.
(Holds up a paper)
And it looks like your welcome wasn't the greatest one.
I should have expected it but the report cal is spreading
should take care of any more problems.
tenchi
Don't worry it isn't like he could have hurt us.
ryoko
Heck even ryo-oki can eat one of those blasters for breakfast.
mihoshi
Tell me something I don't know.
com
Well I guess that you just coming in and talking
to clay and leaving is out of the question.
From this report everyone on the station
knows about you two.(points fingers at ryoko and tenchi.)
So I guess that the news will be across the galaxy in no time.
Ayeka
I know news travels fast but I don't think everyone will know.
com
Well lets see.
(Hits a few buttons on his desk to bring up the galaxy news channel.)
(Announcer)
*********rambles on about something else***********
(Someone hands a paper in front of him.)
we have late braking news ...........
There seems to be a report of some of the jurai royal family
visiting the galaxy police headquarters to see a prisoner.
All though this is not news worthy there is reports
that ryoko the space pirate is with them.
The same space pirate that decimated jurai seven hundred years ago.
Information has it that her wanted file has expired three years ago.
And the biggest revelation is that she's marred to the first crown price of jurai.
(Com shuts off the tv.)
com
what did I tell you...
(everyone has a look of disbelief)
washu
man that must be a record or something.
The report isn't finished being distributed around here yet.
tenchi
Can't they even get the time of the file expiring right?
it's one and a half years ago.
(Nobeyama walks in)
nobeyama
Well I guess that the notice and the report was correct.
com
Sorry nobeyama I would have told you but i'vvve kinda been busy.
nobeyama
I normally would complain but from the group I see here
that would be most believable.
(Nobeyama turns to the group and bows to the princesses.)
I am glad to have two of the crown princesses of jurai
on board the station if you need any help just ask any officer
and there will help you even I am at your service.
(Turns and bows to tenchi and ryoko.)
The same to you just ask anyone and if they give you
any problems ..... I mean any problems tell me or the marshal
and the person will be dealt with.
tenchi(Motions for nobeyama to stand straight.)
That's enough bowing your going to throw your back out.
ryoko
The first thing is lay off the royal treatment.
sasami
Yea it gets to be a drag having people following you around.
That's why I like it on earth because I can run around by myself
and have fun without people following me around.
ayeka
Yes it's better than potential suiters dragging around on
your heals all day.
tenchi
Even though I'm the first crown prince of jurai I was raise as
a normal kid in a normal town on earth so just treat me
like a normal person please.
nobeyama
(chuckles)
Well that is one less thing I have to worry about
in addition to the numerous other things bothering me.
But I don't think everyone else will just ignore your presence.
com
Well we should get to what you came here for.
Rules are only two people can see a prisoner at once.
So I think that you two should go first.
(points to tenchi and ryoko)
washu
Why them?
I need to talk to him.
If he wants to talk to anyone it will be me.
I've known him the longest and I have some
stuff I want to know.
com
Well from the reaction the report will have
there will be people bugging them to death in a little
bit so they should go first while they are still free of
the reporters and stuff.
And if he wants to talk to you then they won't take long
and you can have all day to talk without the others waiting.
washu(disappointed)
I guess so..............
(He motions to tackeden.)
Take them to clays cell and let them talk in privet.
takeden
Yes ser.
(After they leave the commanders room nobeyama starts
in general chit chat with sasami and ayeka as sasami pulls ryo-oki
out of her shirt and shows her to him. he's ignoring his normal work
and planing on explaining it off as helping high ranking guest.)
washu(to com)
Are you sure tenchi and you aren't up to something?
com(Looks dumb founded and hold up his hands.)
What??????????
(As they enter the clays holding area.)
takeden
The force field will not hamper vocal or visual communication.
I will be waiting out side if you need me.
tenchi
Thanks takeden we'll tell you when we're done.
(Takeden closes the door.)
(They walk over to the force field that is
indicated by a line on the floor.)
(Clay is laying on the bed sleeping.)
ryoko
Rise and shine cle.cle. your not getting your
hot cup of chocolate today.
Clay(mumbling)
Wh why not I've got plenty of......(wakes up)
What?????????
(Looks at ryoko carefully)
The only one that know about my chocolate....is...
Zero is that you.....
ryoko
Well zero's a part of me.
Washu stuck the zero part back in me.
clay
That means that you know about all the stuff I've
went though the last fifteen thousand years..
ryoko
Yes I do... and I also know when your lying...
you stutter...
clay
Your defiantly zero...
ryoko
But I'm mostly ryoko.
clay
Well have they stopped messing with your mind too.
I heard that you couldn't remember too.
ryoko:
Yes they stopped messing with are mind.
tenchi
Yes the reason they was working in this area has been
complicated and there is no reason to restrain anyone anymore.
clay
So tokime and from what I just learned before I got caned in this
place....that washu is also a goddess.
tenchi
Throw tsunami into that and you have a trio.
clay
So after they finished I bet washu and the other
two have vacated the place.
tenchi
No tsunami is remaining in charge of the jurain empire for the time being
and washu still don't know that she's a goddess.
ryoko
Washu can stick around here for a bit.
Who else will bug me all the time?
tenchi
And it's funny to see dad all tong tied.
clay
What?????
ryoko
She's decided to go after nobouki because she thinks he
might be better to here than her first husband.
clay
Ow you mean that blond butt head that she got hitched with
at the academy.
She was star struck when she saw him.
Royalty she kept spewing.
But after the kid they just said she wasn't worthy and kicked her out.
She can't say she wasn't warned.
Everyone told her but when she get's an idea in here head that she
right nothing will change it.
Then she got after me saying that I was the reason for him leaving.
She got her friends together and ran me out.
Just tell nobi to stay on his toes he has his hands full.
tenchi
We already know that and where you decided that if the academy
Didn't want you you'd work for the gods themselves...
clay
So you've told tenchi?
tenchi
She don't need to tell me I know everything she does.
clay
How?????
ryoko
Just put it this way.
Though some odd string of events the link
between me and washu got moved to me and tenchi.
clay(laughs)
Ow so you know where he is all the time now.
Just what you wanted you can be with him all the time.
I guess it's fitting.
You moaned and cued over him so much when I was there
it was embarrassing.
tenchi
Yea tell me about it.
Tt's a good thing I felt the same way about her
or I'd be in a pickle.
clay(sighs)
Ow well it looks like I finally lost my zero.
ryoko
Yep you won't get to wipe my emotions clean
after you deactivated me like you planed.
clay
Well having you for fifteen thousand years tends
to get me attached to you.
Kinda like the daughter that I never had...
tench
Don't get all teary on us.
clay(angry)
I'm not getting emotional!!!!!!!!
tenchi
Well what's with the daughter I never had stuff?????
(Clay just growls though his teeth.)
ryoko
Don't pull that act with us I know how you
mumble and cry about your wasted life when your asleep.
clay(on the verge of tears.)
Let me guess you've told everyone in the galaxy what
softy and whimp I am?
ryoko
No..... I know that you've went though a lot.
and from how much you've helped this universe that would
be a serious wrong for me to do.
By the way when washu made me she used a strange creature with
her DNA to make me so I never had a dad.......
and I am not ashamed to refer to you as dad because as you said
I'm the daughter you never had.
clay(cheering up)
Well thanks at least I've got something to show for my life.
ryoko
Just don't let your greed take over your thinking from now on DAD!!!!!
When she offered you that DAM GALAXY you about went off the rocker!!!!!
clay
Well what did you expect??????
When someone offers you a galaxy of your own it kinda motivates you.
ryoko
But to the point that you think about just eliminating someone to expedite it.
clay(looks down)
I know....
I just wanted to get washu and scram.
It normally take three weeks to go though the memory treatment to
put back in the part you experienced so no one would know the difference.
And the machines were still taking care of the last job so I was in a bind.
ryoko
The only reason you didn't is the mystery of the gem was just
important as anything to you when you couldn't figure it out.
clay
I know....
tenchi
We have a deal....
clay
What deal are you talking about.
tenchi
Well it hurts zero to see you in here like this and I think it's
a waste to have a perfectly good mind setting here.
So if I get you a position in the gp technology development division
will you put effort into utilizing you knowledge to advance their ship
design and capability to help them keep the peace.
ryoko
It won't be like you done in the past by rearranging galaxies to
keep everything in order but you will be doing things on
a smaller scale now.
clay
Why sure it will be good to put my ideas to use.
That's what I've always wanted to do.
I can solve any problem my robots are perfect.
They can do anything.
tenchi
Yea yea...As long as you don't try to get any more galaxies or anything.
clay(in a sad tone)
Don't worry I don't think I would have wanted it once I got it.
ryoko
Why?????
clay
Well where would I have put it?
Do you have any idea how big a galaxy is?????
Think of how many things I would have to keep track of.
Think of all the colonies that will be whining for me to fix something.
Think of all the people.
Then I would do something wrong and some of them would be out to get me.
Now that I think about it I wouldn't want to be a god.
(Tenchi and ryoko brake out laughing)
What???????
tenchi
Aww nothing ....we'll talk to the captain of the station.
ryoko
We'll get you out.
clay
I don't think it will be that easy.
ryoko
I do.
I'm the only one that the charges are listed under so if I don't
stand by them they have nothing to hold you on.
clay
What about the gp ship I stole?
ryoko
Well just tell them you'll make a new one for them.
tenchi
It'll be your first project.
You have to have something to build with your fancy equipment your going to have.
ryoko
I'm sure that if you agree to that they'll be happy to drop the charges.
clay
If they actually do give me a straight job in the gp science area they've got me
for life I don't care if it's fixing coffee machines just as long as it keeps me
out of trouble.
I don't want to spend any more of my life here.
tenchi
I will see what I can do.
And another thing is don't tell anyone about are link and I mean no one.
Don't even write it down some were that we've got it.
And don't ever tell anyone about the fact that washu is a goddess
or related to tsunami or tokime.
ryoko
The only other person that knows it is mihoshi's commander.
and he isn't telling anyone.
tenchi
As long as you keep your mouth shut ryoko won't tell anyone
about your hot chocolate.
ryoko
Or your bad dreams that make you hide under your favorite blanket.
(She reaches into here kimono and pulls out a folded blanket.)
clay
Ow you've got it.
tenchi
Just wait till we get you out and then you can have it back
clay
Well don't just stand there.
ryoko
All right talk to you in a bit.
(She puts the blanket back under her kimono and they walk out of the room.)
(They arrive back at the commanders room and he sends
washu and mihoshi to see him next.)
tenchi
Hey nobeyama I was wanting to talk to you about a deal
we've discussed with clay.
nobeyama
What kind of a deal would he be in any position to make.
ryoko
Well I know that's the first time he had done anything really bad
and my zero side hates to see him locked up.
And I know you lost a ship to him so here's the deal.
tenchi
In exchange for his release he will become a part of the
gp development teem and one of his first jobs will be making a new ship
to replace the one that he took.
ayeka
How do we know that he'll behave.
ryoko
Ow that's no problem.
As long as clay has something to make robot with he's happy.
Just as long as you keep him busy he'll be fine.
com
What kind of stuff is he capable of making.
ryoko
Stuff that will put anything you have under the table.
nobeyama
Since you are the one that the charges was filed under I have
to have your full conceit.
ryoko
And that you have.
nobeyama
All right I have to talk to the marshal but he'll agree to anything
that will give him access to any new technology.
(Nobeyama leaves to go to his office.)
ayeka
I agree with washu you are up to something.
ryoko
Nothing really
The zero side of me has been with him for fifteen thousand years.
What he did around home is not enough for me to hold against him.
ayeka
But he almost cost tenchi and me are lives.
tenchi
Greed will make people do things the normally will never do.
ayeka
What do you mean greed?
I thought that he was just there to get washu.
ryoko
Yea but guess what this tokime person offered him if
he successfully returned with washu.
(everyone just looked dumfounded.)
A galaxy of his very own.
(everyone had a look of aww....)
The territory of the galaxy police and juai don't even add up to
a full galaxy.
someone of his age begins to lose value in life and with that
prize in front of him his moral self lost control.
ayeka
So a few lives like are's is kind of irrelevant to
countless trillions.
tenchi
So as long as no one offers him another galaxy I doubt he would
try anything questionable again.
ryoko
I doubt he would do it again even if you did offer him a galaxy.
com
Why????
ryoko
Well he didn't really think about it till he was in the can but.
tenchi
Where would he put the thing once he got it?
(Everyone started laughing.)
(A few minuets latter washu and mihoshi returned.)
washu
That old stick in the mud!!!!! I couldn't get him to spill a bean
on why he was so surprised by the gems....
nobeyama(Walking in)
Don't worry you can bug him for years to come at the gp academy.
washu
What????
nobeyama
in exchange for being released he'll be assigned to the gp academy to
help in the development of new equipment.
washu(looks at tenchi and ryoko)
So you are up to something.
ryoko
I'll explain everything in a bit.
nobeyama
Commander you can go down to the cell and release him.
There will be a transport here in a few minuets to take him to his new job.
washu
Are you sure you know what your doing?
He'll have robots running all over the place in days.
nobeyama
That's good that means he's doing his job.
washu
What????????
For a thousand years we tried to get him to do something else
besides making those dam robots.
And your going to encourage him.
com
You bet.
(They head down the clays cell and release him.)
nobeyama
One of the first projects that we want you to work on besides making
a ship to replace the one you took is to work on upgrading
are NB units that help the new trainees.
The old one's have a problem with the various mannerisms that people
use because they are inherently logical machines.
And I hear that you have worked with networks that allow a robot
to think like a normal person without having to have his neural processor
take up half the ship like the AI units on the patrol ships.
clay
Yea I perfected that over five thousand years ago.
nobeyama
Well it should be no problem making one for us.
clay
No it won't .
ryoko
Don't you mean you perfected it fifteen thousand years ago.
clay(thinks)
Well you had to be brought though the normal stages of development
because your neural setup was a direct copy of a human brain.
It was a pain having to act like a dad for a couple years till you could
take care of yourself.
The finished product don't need to go though development stages and
is still mentally stable.
That was the problem.
Trying to skip the development stages and yet retain a stable network.
washu.
So basically you had a bunch of insane robots running around.
ryoko
Tell me about it.
It was.......
Zero will you round them up.
Zero stop him he's trying to commit harry carry.
Zero will you get 342 out of the trash compacter again.
Sometimes being first is a definite plus.
(As they walk down the hall clay holds out his hand to ryoko)
(When no one's looking she slips him his blanket and he sticks
it under his clothes and holds it protectively.)
nobeyama.
One thing I heard from the marshal is
that after hearing the news the jurai royal family is heading to
earth to pick up every one to go to jurai.
Something about declaring something infront of the holy council.
ayeka(sighs)
I was hoping it would be a few more months but time moves on.
tenchi
What?
ayeka
Well when any member of the royal family gets marred they have
to declare it infront of the holy council.
They evidently herd about ryoko being tenchi wife so the next
step is unavoidable.
Especially when it deals with the first crown prince of jurai.
com
Well I guess you should be heading back to earth then.
It seams you have your hands full.
(The group brakes up and the gang heads to mihsohi ship and heads back home.)
(In the holding dock on one of washus lab planets.)
ryoko
Ahh....it'g good to get back home.
tenchi
Tell me about it.
ayeka
I will check up on ryo-oh
then I have to make a call or two.
sasami
I will help.
(ryo-oki gives a mew of agreement from sasami head as they head off.)
washu
And I've got stuff to check up on.
mihoshi
And I have that criminal person to pic up in claton sector..
ryoko
Are your sure you can handle it yourself?
mishohi
Sure no problem I'll see you later.
(The dimensional portal opens and the shuttle disappear though it.)
(After ayeka checks up on ryo-oh she goes
to the house to call nobouyki.)
nobi
Hello this is nobouyki misaki speaking.
ayeka
Hello I was just calling to see how you were coming along.
nobi
Ow your back!!!! I am kinda getting use to you people just
disappearing from time to time.
ayeka
Yea we had to go the galaxy police head quarters.
nobi
Well I bet that was fun.
As for as the dress goes I have finished ryoko dresses
I thought of a design for tenchi but I haven't.
finished that one.
ayeka
What do you mean dresses I thought you was just making one.
nobi
Yea but I had all the patterns and everything so I decided to
just make two of the same thing so she will have one for a spare.
tenchi's should be finished in about three days.
ayeka
Well you might not have three days because jurai heard about it
so they will be here in a day or two to take them to the holy council.
nobi
Well I might be able to pull it off.
I guess I'll let you go about your business so I can get to work.
ayeka
Ok I will call when they get here.
The end.
I don't own any of the characters in the story.
AIC/Pioneer owns them all..
Changing times chapter four.
By N9WOS
It is based on the OVAs
I have two other chapters planed that follow this one.
I wasn't able to find the name of mihoshi's commander.So I just refer to him as "com".
If it helps the story you can just think of his name as Compton or something.
(It was the day after tenchi returned.
Mihoshi was setting on the couch watching TV(again).
It was ryokos turn to do the laundry and tenchi
was cleaning the front porch.
Ayeka and sasami with ryo-oki in washu's lab
being shown one of the new sections to a complex
on one of the lab planets.
Nobi was still hiding at his apartment.
Yosho was at the shrine.)
(Mihoshis watch starts beeping.)
mihoshi
I wonder what it is?
(She presses a button on the ring of the watch.)
Ow my the commander wants me to bring the rest of the
gang to the ship to talk about something to do with clay.
(She goes outside to tenchi)
Hey tenchi.
tenchi
What do you need mihoshi?
mihoshi
My commander wants to talk to everyone
so will you help me get everyone to my cruiser?
tenchi
That's odd what does he need with us?
mihoshi
It's something to do with clay.
tenchi
Ok I'll get ryoko and we'll be there in a minute.
Sasami and ayeka are with washu in the lab.
mihoshi
Well I'll find them.
(Mihoshi runs off to the lab.)
tenchi(to himself)
(laughing)Washu she's coming.....
(m)
Hey ryoko I think d3 also removed the block on
clay because mihoshi wants everyone to go
to her cruiser to talk to her commander and it's got
something to do with clay.
ryoko(M)
Sounds timely don't it.
Well I'll be heading that way.
(In the holding area that the cruiser is held stand
tenchi and ryoko waiting for the group to get there.)
(Mihoshi washu ayeka and sasami enter from the door.)
(Tenchi notices that no one is burnt or mad but just shrugs
as they walk toward the group which is already walking into the
access tunnel.)
mihoshi
I don't know why the commander is wanting to talk to you
but while we are heading to the main ship you can talk to yukinojo.
He'll just love the company..... The only one he gets to talk
to is me and the commander.
washu
An AI don't get bored they just shut themselves off when they
don't have anything to do.
mihoshi
well yukinojo don't.
He'll set there for hours and monitor the TV channels.
He really don't like shuting himself off.
ryoko
Yea with mihoshi you've gota stay alert.
tenchi
I see that mihoshis activities are rubbing off on the ship's AI then.
mihoshi.
Well I just watch one channel at a time.
He watches all 575 deep space channels at once.
If I want to know what's the best show on I just ask yukinojo
ryoko
watching that much TV he probably need mental help.
mihoshi
No... yukinojo is very dependable.
All I have to do is ask him or tell him something and he's right on it.
(After mihoshi holds her hand to a scan pad on the door it opens
and the group walks in as the lights on the cruiser come on.)
( They follow mihoshi and take a left at the central passage
to head to the bridge.)
(After they enter the bridge.)
mihoshi
YUKINOJO!!! we're here.
(His interface(Head on a arm) comes out of the ceiling.)
yuki
Good day mihoshi it seems that you have brought the group
like the commander wanted.
mihoshi
Yes here's tenchi ryoko ayeka sasami and washu.
(Ryo-oki meows from sasamis head.)
Ow and ryo-oki too....
and every one this is yukinojo my ship.
yuki
Well the ship isn't named yukinojo I'm the AI of the ship
Ships aren't named anymore but people usually call the
ship after it's AI anyway.
mihoshi
Yea I've had yukinojo every since the academy.
yuki
Yes when they move an AI from one ship to another
my name stays with me.
That's why they really don't name the ship because the ship
don't retain the name after the AI is removed and another one is put in.
mihoshi
So that means that I can keep yukinojo with me forever.
yuki
Unfortunately.........
Since you have everyone you are taking can we head out to the main
ship for the super interspace hot line?
mihoshi
Alright yukinojo you can head out when ever you want.
yuki
Ok mihoshi.
(After that the ship power up and leaves the sub space lab
appearing over the house.
While they are leaving the earth tenchi is standing by the window with
ryoko standing by him watching the ground disappear behind them.)
sasami.
Yukinojo are you really able to watch five hundred and
some TV channels at once?
youkinojo
Yes I usually watch all of them.
It helps me learn all the intricacies of living creatures and
it allows me to have something more interesting to do
besides the over one million interspace com channels that
I monitor for distress calls and help request.
ayeka
I can see how that would get quite boring.
yuki
Quite is an under statement.
mihoshi
Well do you want to see my living quarters in the back of the ship?
I have a ton of stuff to show you and we can get something to eat.
(Everyone starts heading into the main corridor except tenchi and ryoko.)
mihoshi
Don't you want to see the back of the ship?
tenchi
Naa... I would rather see the view.
I have only seen outer space three times and it wasn't on circumstances
that I could take the time to enjoy the view.
mihoshi
Well do you want anything to eat?
ryoko
Not really we're fine.
mihoshi
Alrighty.(Heads off after the others.)
(After the door closes.)
yuki
Do you want to set in the seats this trip will take over three hours?
I can retract the control panels around the windows so you can have
a better view from the control seats.
(As he said that the panels below and above the window retract to give a
full view of the stars.
tenchi(As their setting down)
Could you turn off the lights?
yuki
Sure thing.
(The lights shut off and all you can see in the ship is various
lights and displays panels in the darkness with the windows
making up most of the normal vision.)
(The moon can be seen growing closer and just out of the corner
of the far right window can be seen the earth that they had just
completed a swing around the side of to head in the right direction.)
tenchiWOW this is beautiful.
yuki
We will make a pass by the moon before we accelerate to head to the main ship.If your wondering why I don't give full acceleration when we clear the
atmosphere its because the communication satellite in orbit can't stand heavy
magnetic fields so I maintain minimum thrust till I clear the orbital field.
tenchi
Why don't ryo-oki worry about that?
yuki
Ryo-oki uses an antigrave subspace propulsion requiring no emissions.
This ship uses a magnopulse drive that produces a magnetic field wake
behind it. that's the glowing rings on the back of the drive units.
It's visible because some of the magnetic field is at the visible spectrum.
ryoko
So basically if you kick it into full power you'll toast all the satellites on
this side of the planet.
yuki
Yes.
tenchi
Where is this main ship that you keep mentioning located.
yuki
It's in orbit around Saturn.
tenchi
I'm going to like this trip.
yuki
When we arrive at the main ship we can either stay on
this bridge or go to the main bridge.
tenchi
You mean this isn't the main bridge?
yuki
No this is the bridge for the cruiser.
It can be used to control the main ship as well.
There is a larger living quarters in the main ship too.
All be it she don't use either the main bridge or the
living quarters in the main ship much.
She complains about it being to roomy.
(In the back of the ship.)
mihoshi
Heres the book collection and my trinkets and other stuff.
sasami
Man you have a lot of books.
yuki(over the speaker system)
Are estimated time till arrival is three hours and twenty minutes
ayeka.
Could you make some tea since
this trip is a few hours long?
mihoshi
Yea
(walks over to the dispenser unit and types a few buttons)
(a cup of hot tea apers)
Hear you go.
(hands it to ayeka)
ayeka
If you can use that for tea and stuff then why do you have that?
(points coffee machine on the table.)
mihoshi
Ow that....
This machine wasn't working for a bit but it evidently is working now.
(Back on the bridge.)
yuki
hummm that's strange.
ryoko
What?
yuki
Mihoshi used the drink dispenser properly.
tenchi
What's so strange about that?
This is her ship.
yuki
But she never could get the key sequence right.
That's why she keeps a coffee machine in her quarters.
I guess she was lucky this time.
(Tenchi and ryoko chuckle at yukinojos comment.)
tenchi
On that I was wondering how did you survive
all this time with the way mihoshi's acting.
ryoko
She's destroyed this cruiser a couple of times that I can remember.
yuki
Yes this AI that your speaking to has been destroyed a few times.
But this AI is just one third of me.
My actual conscience spans three AI's.
This unit the unit on the main ship and the backup unit at gp headquarters.
I try to sync with the main ship unit every day or two. And the main ship
unit will make a backup via interspace link to the gp mainframe every
galactic week encase both the cruiser and the main ship are destroyed.
tenchi
So if the shuttle is destroyed you'll basically forget everything that
the shuttle learnt after the last sync.
yuki
That is only if I am destroyed without warning.
Being around mihoshi I have learnt that if we start a fight
or go exploring something it's a good idea to do a sync immediately.
(The time passed as they watched the stars and
the group in the back looked at all mihoshis souvenirs.)
(As they are approaching Saturn.)
Tenchi
Wow how close are you going to get to Saturn anyway.
it looks like we're right on top of it.
yuki
We are still quite some distance away.
We are locked into the orbit of the main space craft
and we will approach it from behind.
tenchi
It still looks close.
yuki
Since measurements as large as I would quote and the
orbital vectors would be a bit complicated I'll just say that we are
currently about the same distance from the planet's
surface as the moon is from the earth.
tenchi
That's one big planet then
ryoko
I've seen a lot bigger..
(As they approach the main ship they see it out in
the distance and they finally come to a stop over the top of it.)
tenchi
Man!!! everything is big around here.
You could stick a whole city block on each wing.
yuki
Well according to how big a standard city block is on earth
I calculate that you could put one point five three city blocks
on each wing.
ryoko
I wonder how someone like mihoshi would get trusted with
a ship of that size?
It probably isn't as powerful as ryo-oh or ryo-oki but
it's definitely bigger.
yuki
She was promoted to that type of ship before she
started having problems.
tenchi
Ya that's right kagato said she had a wonderful
record till she became overworked.
ryoko
What happed to her that caused her to act like that anyway?
yuki
That is confidential.
the only one I'll accept orders from to release that information
is mihoshi.
ryoko
Well what did Gp headquarters say about whatever happed
when you told them?
yuki
I have not told them.
when mihoshi tells me not to tell anyone unless she said to.
that means that I will not tell anyone even her commanding officer.
ryoko
That's one way to get yourself striped down so they can find out.
yuki
As long as I'm following direct orders form my owner I can't be
striped down because of my actions.
tenchi
So gp has to take it and lump it?
yuki
For lack of a better description yes....
tenchi
So what happed anyway?
yuki
That includes her best friends....
tenchi
Drats can't fool you can I..........
(tenchi and ryoko gives a good laugh.)
yuki
I'll start docking with the main craft and
then we can connect to headquarters.
(They latch down into the main ship and mihoshi
walks back into the bridge)
mihoshi
Alright we can get this done.
I'll have to say my password to get into the
inter space hotline so I'll need you to leave the
bridge for a few seconds.
Yuki(stunned.)
mihoshi???????
You haven't remembered that you need the password
without me reminding you since....... the ac......
mihoshi
Ow the accident....... I guess I must be getting better hu..
Now that I think of it I still haven't made a report on that have I?
yuki
Do you actually remember it??????
mihoshi
Of coarse I don't remember why I haven't followed up on it though
I guess I just forgot..
yuki
You couldn't remember it for eight years mihoshi....but
are you sure you want to discus it with people present?
mihoshi
Sure ..no problem I trust these people with my life.
You can discus file five three twenty one ten with them freely.
tenchi
Yukinojo how did she tell you not to tell anyone if she can't
remember herself???
yuki
She told me before she went in after him but when she came out
she didn't remember why she went in and her accident rating
went though the roof...
hold it .........
from records today she hasn't hit a wrong key stroke in
one hundred and thirty five key strokes...
.... I should have noticed!!!!!!!!.....................
Mihoshi get to the infirmary eminently I want to run a full
physical and mental scan on you.
mihoshi
All righty I can show everyone some of the main ship on the way down.
(After going though a literal maze of passage ways they get down to the infirmary.)
(When they walk in a robot detaches from the wall and rolls up to them.)
yuki
A have the scanning bed ready so if you'll just lay down.
mihoshi
All righty..
sasami
Man you can talk though anything around here.
yuki
Yes I have far more interfaces on the main ship than the cruiser.
washu
I've been thinking mihoshi didn't tear up anything when she got us..
ryoko
I don't notice anything really different with her she's still acting the same.
yuki
She's always been as you would say it "bubbly" but she never made
very many mistakes until the accident.
From records since she came in the cruiser her proficiency ratting has went
back to what it was before the accident.
ayeka
Mihoshi who was this man you were chasing?
mihoshi(from the bed)
owww.... if I'm right he was looking
for someone and had hacked into the science academy computers.
I was going to arrest him.
ryoko
Well who was he looking for?
mihoshi
Hmmm I think he was looking for washu just like mister clay was.
tenchi
Well what ever happed to him... considering you didn't catch him???
mihoshi
Well I did catch him and confine him.
yuki
When you came out you had no one with you and you couldn't remember
what you originally went there for.
mihoshi.
I just guess I forgot abut it and left him there.
tenchi
Just left him there?????
mihoshi
Yea he was in one of those stasis crystals ..and if im right
it was in the deserted claton sector...
yuki
Yes we was in the claton sector.
mihoshi
Do you think we should go and get him afterward?
yuki
Most definitely...
washu
How long has he been there?
yuki
About eight years.
ayeka
And those stasis crystals don't inhibit conciseness.
sasami
Ho he's been there looking at what ever is infronf of him for
eight years...
yuki
The scans are complete and it appears the area of mihoshis
brain the has been non functional is now functioning ..
I can't figure it out but it is just working.
Mihoshi
You mean what everyone was saying was wrong with me
is now fine????????
Won't the commander be happy??????????
yuki
He will be so happy he'll have a heart attack.
I think we should take it slow with the commander.
mihoshi
I'll go up and open up the interspace hot line
(she heads toward the door.)
yuki
That would be a good idea.
(Everyone else heads off after her but tenchi and ryoko.)
(After they leave.)
yuki
If you don't need anything checked out you can leave so
I can clean up and shut everything off.
tenchi
I was wanting to discus something with you.
It has to do with mihoshi's neural problem.
yuki
Ow that.....
It's normal for people in that have had server trauma to every
once in a while just pop out of it and be fine from there on.
After a few years though it is unlikely to happen if it already hasn't.
ryoko
We know why it happed though.
(The medical robot sat down the stuff that it was putting away and
spun around to face them.)
yuki
Exactly what do you know?
tenchi
Well we are pretty sure that we know.
The only thing is you can't tell anyone not even mihoshi.
yuki
Well I would have to get permission from mihoshi
To give your word higher priority than hers regarding the information.
(Brings up a view screen showing mihoshi waling into the bridge with
The others standing behind the door as it closes.)
yuki
Mihoshi I am talking to tenchi and ryoko and they want to tell me
something that they don't want me even telling you so do you give
authorization for me to retain information from you with their word
as the only way I will release it?
mihoshi
Sure I trust them go ahead an chat all you want.
yuki
Ok mihoshi.....
(screen flickers off.)
Now what is this you are referring to?
tenchi
Well this has to do with the reason we are going to talk
to headquarters about Dr. clay.
ryoko
Here is a data crystal that ten-oki recorded during that
trip that tenchi took it will explain allot.
(she holds it out and the medical robot takes it
to a control panel on the wall and put it in a reading device)
Basically there are three goddesses and washu is one of them.
The god to this universe basically withheld parts of are memory
if we ever come across some of their doings to protect their location
that they interact with this universe.
yuki(After digesting the info in the crystal.)
So you were kinda fibbing about your trip.......
You two seem to be very powerful beings.
Or should I say one very powerful being........
Now I won't have to worry about one of you not knowing
what the other knows.......
Well if washu is one of them then that would explain why
they affected mihoshi's brain.
She mostlikly seen something that would give info on where
the man was working from.
But why did he remove the block?
tenchi
Well the final purpose of the goddesses was taken care of a few days
ago so are god with is named D3 decided to remove all the blocks that
he put on everyone's mind's.
ryoko
So Dr. clay and mihoshi regained part of their memories.
yuki
And that would include you ryoko.
If I am right after the merging with zero washu couldn't
find the location of tokime from your memory.
ryoko
Yes..
Tenchi
We're telling you this so you know what happed to her and won't be
worried about anything happening to mihoshi.
ryoko
Yea so the idiots at HQ don't try to put her under
a micro scope or something.
yuki
I am ecstatic that she's back to normal.
ryoko
Dr. clay on the other hand is most likely ticked off that people are messing with his mind.
yuki
Yes he is demanding to talk to washu and a few others.
Mihoshi is talking to the commander now and it appears that we are going
on a little trip to gp headquarters to talk to clay personally.
ryoko
How long will that take?
yuki
It will take about two days to get there.
tenchi
So it looks like we are going to have to make are selves comfortable.
yuki
How secure do you want me to keep this information?
ryoko
Don't tell anyone unless you consider it necessary.
tenchi
Yes if you need to use it to protect mihoshi or anyone don't be afraid to use it
in any way possible.
All though I don't know how it could be of much help.
yuki
You never know what will accrue in the depths of space.
And if I ever need someone capable of defeating anything
I know who to call.
ryoko
Too true...
yuki
The commander has talked to the others and he's wanting
to talk to you now.
tenchi
Ok put him on.
(A screen appears with the face of washus commander.)
(He sticks his face close to the screen and looks
closely at tenchi.)
com
So your the crown???????
tenchi
Yes I am the crown price of jurai.
com
And your the infamous???????
ryok
Yes the space pirate ryoko.
(The commander notices that they are holing hands.)
com
You mean.........that your a couple????
tenchi
Well actually married........
com
Christ what will jurai think about that?
ryoko
They can think what the want.
tenchi
I think I already know about the reason your
calling us so I only want to mention that I think
I should tell you why mihoshi has regained her memory.
(A stunned look flashes across the commanders face._
Yukinojo can you send him the information that I told you
about mihoshi.)
yuki
Yes but are you sure?
ryoko
Yes.
(A paper comes out of a slot besides him.)
com
Ow my god what is she into now?
I'm going to be getting misconduct reports from god now!!!!!!
How can I tell anyone about this they'll go though the roof.
tenchi
Don't tell anyone I am just telling you so you know why we are
doing this and you will be expecting it.
com
So your going to want to talk to clay privately before
the rest of them hu???????
tenchi
Yes I would appreciate it.
com
Here is some info in exchange for your consideration.
I would normally have to send a copy to someone else
namely the jurai holly council of every peace of information.
I'm a spy for council and I filter out anything that jurai don't
want the GP knowing about.
I'm putting my neck on the line telling you this but since
you are the crown prince I think you override their orders.
So I don't think I'll be sending a copy of this to them.
(Throws the paper in the incinerator.)
And it won't be going to HQ Either.
If I see anything else that I think you wouldn't want them
or anyone seeing I'll be sure to misplace it.
Just be careful of who you tell anything to.
With me your lucky the council will not hear of it.
tenchi
And if you ever need help just call us.
ryoko
Then we will see you in a while hu????
com
Yes... I'll be waiting on you...
good day.
(The com screen infront of the commander disappears)
OW man here I go again.
(Puts his had down on the desk and brings up the program and gives his password.)
I want you to delete all records from the time that the link with mihoshi's ship was
transferred from the main bridge to the infirmary and don't send any report to anyone
even jurai.
computer
It has been done.
com
Then delete any record of the conversation from your own memory
and any record of me accessing the system and return to normal.
(the light come back on)
I guess that takes care of that......
(Tenchi and ryoko go back to the bridge and meet the group.)
washu
What did you discuss anyway?
ryoko
Ow nothing.
He was just asking a few questions.
washu
and....
tenchi
Nothing .........
washu
You two are up to something.
ryoko
What ever...
mihoshi
Yukinojo let's get under way.
yuki
Yes mihoshi.
tenchi
What about dad and gramps what if they come
looking for us?
washu
ow don't worry about that.
if they come to the lab door they will here a
pre recorded message explaining every thing.
mihoshi
Well lets go see the ship we'll be here a few days.
(as they are walking along the hall)
sasami
man this is a big ship what's all the rooms for.
yuki(over the loud speakers)
this ship is a full class battle ship.
with me running it it only needs one crew member.
ryoko
And that'd be mihoshi
yuki
Yes.....
It is also designed to a emergency troop transport and
evac ship.
That is because there is only one crew member so the
entire facilities can be occupied with the people being transported.
This ship is also designed to support the troops after the destination
is reached so this ship has a full armaments.
I might say that it even has weapons that normal battle ships don't
ayeka.
Why would they give a ship with a crew of one more weapons
than a fully staffed ship?
yuki
Because on this ship any use of weapons is monitored by me.
I can restrain the use of a device if I think it's incorporate.
mihoshi
Well since we are talking about them lets go see them.
(She cuts off on to a side corridor and to a elevator.)
(They go down about fifteen stories and stop in the lower
cargo bay.)
tenchi
Man this is a big big place.
(A cargo handling unit pulls up infrot of them.)
(The camera on it pivots around and the familiar
voice of yukinojo is heard.)
yuki
This is the armaments storage facility.
every thing is arraigned for automatic feed into the
launch units.
If you get on the transport I will give you a tour.
(Everyone did as instructed and got on the unit
and they headed off though the racks of stuff.)
The ship is equipped with over one thousand space to
space boost stages and two hundred space to planet
reentry rated boost stages.
It also has one hundred and fifty other special purpose
boost units.
(The transport pulls up to a big rack of "boost units"/rockets and stops.)
You may look around and get a closer view of the equipment.
(They file off the transport and wonder around the place.)
On those can be put a variety of warheads ranging
from convectional chemical units to speciality penetrating
charges to grapple heads.
Since this ship is equipped with an AI we are allowed
to carry high yelled war heads.
washu
Hold it are they anything like the high yelled weapons
the we worked with in the academy?
yuki
Yes...
And the technology has progressed greatly since you left the academy.
washu
And they give them to mihoshi?
yuki
Yes
tenchi
How powerful are these high yelled war heads?
yuki
The standard size is forty three vectors.
(Washus eyes dilate.)
tenchi
Vectors??????
yuki
Ow in earth terms it would be equivalent to
one hundred and eighty three gigatons.
tenchi
Don't you mean megatons!!!!!!
yuki
No my calcination is correct ......gigatons.
ayeka
Yea that is standard armament for special duty units.
washu
What about the large weapons.
yuki
We have ten of them and they are rated one point eight teratons
or 420 vectors.
washu
That could destroy a small planetoid.
We had things of that size when we were at the academy but they would
be the size of a small ship.
I can't believe they would give mihoshi those.
ryoko
Why wouldn't they
ryo-oki and me can produce that much power.
washu
But that's from the gems.
ayeka
And that would be an even match to ryo-oh
with the three wings she could take that size of blast
without much problem.
if she used all ten of them in succession ryo-oh might
be looking a bit worse for ware though.
ryoko
And kagato used that amount of power to attack the tenchi
when he came to get me.
wahsu
As I said that is all of soja being used.
ayeka
And he used more than enough power to vaporize all of earth
washu
That was all of soja and ryoko's real gem.
yuki
You also have to take into account that the energy used when you
were fighting was directed energy.
These are blunt force weapons that you have to be at distance to use.
Other wise you will do as much damage to yourself as the other person.
tenchi(interested)
I might be being a bit nosey but where are they?
I wonder what size one of those things would be.
ryoko(m)
You and your planetary destruction fetish.
tenchi(m)
What ever.
yuki
If im right the stack of boxes your resting
your arm on is what you speak of.
(Tenchi turns pail and looks to his left to see a stack
of boxes. each box is about two foot square.)
(He slowly takes his arm off the boxes and walks away.)
tenchi
OK!!!!!
Yukinojo why didn't you tell me what I was leaning on?
yuki
You didn't ask me to.
tenchi
Well tell me next time.
(Washu mad beyond words stalks off.)
sasami
What's wrong with her?
ryoko
Pride.
(They get back to the elevator and go up to the second cargo bay.)
mihoshi
We don't have anything in here right now
so I use this place for running and exercise.
sasami
Do you have any base balls or tennis equipment that we can use?
mihoshi
Not that I know of.
sasami
Washu could you come up with any?
washu(still a bit mad)
So you come back to old antique washu when you need help hu.
(She types on her computer a second and a pile of stuff
comes out of a hole and falls on the floor.)
sasami
wow thanks washu your the greatest.
(Gives washu a hug and washus frown softens into a smile.)
washu
Anything for you little princesses.
tenchi
I do believe that washu being in adult form is helping her
temperament greatly.
washu
There's nothing wrong with my temperament.
ryoko
Yea she would of stayed mad about that for a week.
ayeka
I do believe your right she is acting more like a grown up.
She will make a decent member of the royal family yet.
(Washu just stands there with sasami hugging her with
a stricken look on her face when she realizes their right.)
(two days latter they are docked to the station.)
mihoshi
Well if anyone wants I can show you around or you
can go to the visitors office to have someone assigned to you.
ryoko
It would help if we knew where a visitors office is.
MIhoshi
Ow.. well follow me.
(They head out of the access tunnel.)
(A few guards see them leaving the tunnel.)
calmac
Good day mihoshi it's been a while
since I have seen you and it seams you brought company.
mihoshi
Yea I have brought my friends with me.
My commander is wanting them to see a prisoner.
calmac
Let me guess it's clay....
He's been raising cane for the past couple days.
(One of the security gauds hears clays name and
walks over to the group.)
tackeden
Cal who has mihoshi got with her.
calmac
The people that mihoshi's section commander wants
to see Dr. clay.
tackeden
He can see anyone just as long as it shuts him up.
(Tackeden sees a red hairdo that was in the same style
of someone he knew a long time ago.
He was about going to dismiss it then he saw the same
hair style in blue on someone standing behind the red
haired one.
So he quickly walked to the side to get a better view.)
What he saw almost gave him a hart attack.)
tackeden
RYOKO!!!!!!!!!!
ALERT RYOKO THE WANTED PIRATE IS ON THE STATION.
(He swung his fire arm out and pointed at ryokos face.)
(Every other guard readied their weapons.)
(Tenchi quickly steeped infront of ryoko)
tenchi
If your going to fight my wife you have to go though me.
tackeden
Your wife?????????
I can't help that you married that trash if you just step
to the side you can stay out of this.
If you don't I will kill you if necessary.
(Tackeden looked to his side and saw mihoshi
with her pistol pointed at his head.)
What's the meaning of this mihoshi?
mishoshi
Both of them are from the special area of the solar system
that I patrol and therefor they are my responsibility.
tackeden
But mihoshi ryoko has destroyed thousands of planets.
you can't possibly know that and still let her run free.
let alone guard her.
ayeka
But the statue of limitations has ran out on her crimes.
about one and a half years ago to be exact.
sasami
Yea the statue of limitations on her crimes was
seven hundred years and it's been seven hundred
and one years.
tackeden(stricken, lowers his weapon and mihoshi lowers hers)
ayeka ......sasami.... the crown princesses of jurai?????????
sasami
you bet ya.
tackeden
Let me guess they are also residing in the special area of the solar system.
mihoshi
yes.
Me and them are living in tenchi and ryoko's house.
tackeden
The crown princesses and the pirate that destroyed jurai living in the same house.
ayeka
Yes times do change.
tenchi
What about me I ain't a nobody?
washu
Yeah tenchi's the first crown prince of jurai.
tackeden
But he said he was marred to her...
what prince would even think of that.
washu
And what's wrong with my daughter?
tackeden
Ryoko's your daughter.
washu
yes.
She is the daughter of the founder of the
science academy that's me washu.
tackeden(swallowing hard.)
Ow my I am getting way behind times.
How long are you planing to stay on the
station?
mihoshi
A day or two.
tackeden.
Well I guess I should send a notice to everyone
so they will be expecting it.
Some of the older ones like me may not be
kind enough to ask first.
They will fire first and ask latter.
ayeka
That would be a good idea.
tackeden
For give me on my rudeness (bows to the group)
cal have you herd everything said?
calmac
Yes
tackeden
Well make up a report to give people some idea of the situation
and send it out to everyone.
calmac
yes sir
tackeden
And if they don't read it
force them to you got it?
calmac
Yes ser.
(calmac runs off.)
tackeden
Mihoshi is your commander aware of this?
mihoshi
Yes
tackeden
Well I suggest that you go to your commanders
office and stay there till we have had a chance
to tell everyone.
I wish you would give a little more warning before
you bring princesses and princes here.
ayeka
Well I like avoiding all the hassle.
sasami
Yea when they make it into a big production
it gets to be a drag.
tackeden
Well I'll lead you to his office.
(They head though the station with a few odd glares
from people along the way and enter the
commanders office.)
com(setting at his desk)
It seams that you have made it here.
(Holds up a paper)
And it looks like your welcome wasn't the greatest one.
I should have expected it but the report cal is spreading
should take care of any more problems.
tenchi
Don't worry it isn't like he could have hurt us.
ryoko
Heck even ryo-oki can eat one of those blasters for breakfast.
mihoshi
Tell me something I don't know.
com
Well I guess that you just coming in and talking
to clay and leaving is out of the question.
From this report everyone on the station
knows about you two.(points fingers at ryoko and tenchi.)
So I guess that the news will be across the galaxy in no time.
Ayeka
I know news travels fast but I don't think everyone will know.
com
Well lets see.
(Hits a few buttons on his desk to bring up the galaxy news channel.)
(Announcer)
*********rambles on about something else***********
(Someone hands a paper in front of him.)
we have late braking news ...........
There seems to be a report of some of the jurai royal family
visiting the galaxy police headquarters to see a prisoner.
All though this is not news worthy there is reports
that ryoko the space pirate is with them.
The same space pirate that decimated jurai seven hundred years ago.
Information has it that her wanted file has expired three years ago.
And the biggest revelation is that she's marred to the first crown price of jurai.
(Com shuts off the tv.)
com
what did I tell you...
(everyone has a look of disbelief)
washu
man that must be a record or something.
The report isn't finished being distributed around here yet.
tenchi
Can't they even get the time of the file expiring right?
it's one and a half years ago.
(Nobeyama walks in)
nobeyama
Well I guess that the notice and the report was correct.
com
Sorry nobeyama I would have told you but i'vvve kinda been busy.
nobeyama
I normally would complain but from the group I see here
that would be most believable.
(Nobeyama turns to the group and bows to the princesses.)
I am glad to have two of the crown princesses of jurai
on board the station if you need any help just ask any officer
and there will help you even I am at your service.
(Turns and bows to tenchi and ryoko.)
The same to you just ask anyone and if they give you
any problems ..... I mean any problems tell me or the marshal
and the person will be dealt with.
tenchi(Motions for nobeyama to stand straight.)
That's enough bowing your going to throw your back out.
ryoko
The first thing is lay off the royal treatment.
sasami
Yea it gets to be a drag having people following you around.
That's why I like it on earth because I can run around by myself
and have fun without people following me around.
ayeka
Yes it's better than potential suiters dragging around on
your heals all day.
tenchi
Even though I'm the first crown prince of jurai I was raise as
a normal kid in a normal town on earth so just treat me
like a normal person please.
nobeyama
(chuckles)
Well that is one less thing I have to worry about
in addition to the numerous other things bothering me.
But I don't think everyone else will just ignore your presence.
com
Well we should get to what you came here for.
Rules are only two people can see a prisoner at once.
So I think that you two should go first.
(points to tenchi and ryoko)
washu
Why them?
I need to talk to him.
If he wants to talk to anyone it will be me.
I've known him the longest and I have some
stuff I want to know.
com
Well from the reaction the report will have
there will be people bugging them to death in a little
bit so they should go first while they are still free of
the reporters and stuff.
And if he wants to talk to you then they won't take long
and you can have all day to talk without the others waiting.
washu(disappointed)
I guess so..............
(He motions to tackeden.)
Take them to clays cell and let them talk in privet.
takeden
Yes ser.
(After they leave the commanders room nobeyama starts
in general chit chat with sasami and ayeka as sasami pulls ryo-oki
out of her shirt and shows her to him. he's ignoring his normal work
and planing on explaining it off as helping high ranking guest.)
washu(to com)
Are you sure tenchi and you aren't up to something?
com(Looks dumb founded and hold up his hands.)
What??????????
(As they enter the clays holding area.)
takeden
The force field will not hamper vocal or visual communication.
I will be waiting out side if you need me.
tenchi
Thanks takeden we'll tell you when we're done.
(Takeden closes the door.)
(They walk over to the force field that is
indicated by a line on the floor.)
(Clay is laying on the bed sleeping.)
ryoko
Rise and shine cle.cle. your not getting your
hot cup of chocolate today.
Clay(mumbling)
Wh why not I've got plenty of......(wakes up)
What?????????
(Looks at ryoko carefully)
The only one that know about my chocolate....is...
Zero is that you.....
ryoko
Well zero's a part of me.
Washu stuck the zero part back in me.
clay
That means that you know about all the stuff I've
went though the last fifteen thousand years..
ryoko
Yes I do... and I also know when your lying...
you stutter...
clay
Your defiantly zero...
ryoko
But I'm mostly ryoko.
clay
Well have they stopped messing with your mind too.
I heard that you couldn't remember too.
ryoko:
Yes they stopped messing with are mind.
tenchi
Yes the reason they was working in this area has been
complicated and there is no reason to restrain anyone anymore.
clay
So tokime and from what I just learned before I got caned in this
place....that washu is also a goddess.
tenchi
Throw tsunami into that and you have a trio.
clay
So after they finished I bet washu and the other
two have vacated the place.
tenchi
No tsunami is remaining in charge of the jurain empire for the time being
and washu still don't know that she's a goddess.
ryoko
Washu can stick around here for a bit.
Who else will bug me all the time?
tenchi
And it's funny to see dad all tong tied.
clay
What?????
ryoko
She's decided to go after nobouki because she thinks he
might be better to here than her first husband.
clay
Ow you mean that blond butt head that she got hitched with
at the academy.
She was star struck when she saw him.
Royalty she kept spewing.
But after the kid they just said she wasn't worthy and kicked her out.
She can't say she wasn't warned.
Everyone told her but when she get's an idea in here head that she
right nothing will change it.
Then she got after me saying that I was the reason for him leaving.
She got her friends together and ran me out.
Just tell nobi to stay on his toes he has his hands full.
tenchi
We already know that and where you decided that if the academy
Didn't want you you'd work for the gods themselves...
clay
So you've told tenchi?
tenchi
She don't need to tell me I know everything she does.
clay
How?????
ryoko
Just put it this way.
Though some odd string of events the link
between me and washu got moved to me and tenchi.
clay(laughs)
Ow so you know where he is all the time now.
Just what you wanted you can be with him all the time.
I guess it's fitting.
You moaned and cued over him so much when I was there
it was embarrassing.
tenchi
Yea tell me about it.
Tt's a good thing I felt the same way about her
or I'd be in a pickle.
clay(sighs)
Ow well it looks like I finally lost my zero.
ryoko
Yep you won't get to wipe my emotions clean
after you deactivated me like you planed.
clay
Well having you for fifteen thousand years tends
to get me attached to you.
Kinda like the daughter that I never had...
tench
Don't get all teary on us.
clay(angry)
I'm not getting emotional!!!!!!!!
tenchi
Well what's with the daughter I never had stuff?????
(Clay just growls though his teeth.)
ryoko
Don't pull that act with us I know how you
mumble and cry about your wasted life when your asleep.
clay(on the verge of tears.)
Let me guess you've told everyone in the galaxy what
softy and whimp I am?
ryoko
No..... I know that you've went though a lot.
and from how much you've helped this universe that would
be a serious wrong for me to do.
By the way when washu made me she used a strange creature with
her DNA to make me so I never had a dad.......
and I am not ashamed to refer to you as dad because as you said
I'm the daughter you never had.
clay(cheering up)
Well thanks at least I've got something to show for my life.
ryoko
Just don't let your greed take over your thinking from now on DAD!!!!!
When she offered you that DAM GALAXY you about went off the rocker!!!!!
clay
Well what did you expect??????
When someone offers you a galaxy of your own it kinda motivates you.
ryoko
But to the point that you think about just eliminating someone to expedite it.
clay(looks down)
I know....
I just wanted to get washu and scram.
It normally take three weeks to go though the memory treatment to
put back in the part you experienced so no one would know the difference.
And the machines were still taking care of the last job so I was in a bind.
ryoko
The only reason you didn't is the mystery of the gem was just
important as anything to you when you couldn't figure it out.
clay
I know....
tenchi
We have a deal....
clay
What deal are you talking about.
tenchi
Well it hurts zero to see you in here like this and I think it's
a waste to have a perfectly good mind setting here.
So if I get you a position in the gp technology development division
will you put effort into utilizing you knowledge to advance their ship
design and capability to help them keep the peace.
ryoko
It won't be like you done in the past by rearranging galaxies to
keep everything in order but you will be doing things on
a smaller scale now.
clay
Why sure it will be good to put my ideas to use.
That's what I've always wanted to do.
I can solve any problem my robots are perfect.
They can do anything.
tenchi
Yea yea...As long as you don't try to get any more galaxies or anything.
clay(in a sad tone)
Don't worry I don't think I would have wanted it once I got it.
ryoko
Why?????
clay
Well where would I have put it?
Do you have any idea how big a galaxy is?????
Think of how many things I would have to keep track of.
Think of all the colonies that will be whining for me to fix something.
Think of all the people.
Then I would do something wrong and some of them would be out to get me.
Now that I think about it I wouldn't want to be a god.
(Tenchi and ryoko brake out laughing)
What???????
tenchi
Aww nothing ....we'll talk to the captain of the station.
ryoko
We'll get you out.
clay
I don't think it will be that easy.
ryoko
I do.
I'm the only one that the charges are listed under so if I don't
stand by them they have nothing to hold you on.
clay
What about the gp ship I stole?
ryoko
Well just tell them you'll make a new one for them.
tenchi
It'll be your first project.
You have to have something to build with your fancy equipment your going to have.
ryoko
I'm sure that if you agree to that they'll be happy to drop the charges.
clay
If they actually do give me a straight job in the gp science area they've got me
for life I don't care if it's fixing coffee machines just as long as it keeps me
out of trouble.
I don't want to spend any more of my life here.
tenchi
I will see what I can do.
And another thing is don't tell anyone about are link and I mean no one.
Don't even write it down some were that we've got it.
And don't ever tell anyone about the fact that washu is a goddess
or related to tsunami or tokime.
ryoko
The only other person that knows it is mihoshi's commander.
and he isn't telling anyone.
tenchi
As long as you keep your mouth shut ryoko won't tell anyone
about your hot chocolate.
ryoko
Or your bad dreams that make you hide under your favorite blanket.
(She reaches into here kimono and pulls out a folded blanket.)
clay
Ow you've got it.
tenchi
Just wait till we get you out and then you can have it back
clay
Well don't just stand there.
ryoko
All right talk to you in a bit.
(She puts the blanket back under her kimono and they walk out of the room.)
(They arrive back at the commanders room and he sends
washu and mihoshi to see him next.)
tenchi
Hey nobeyama I was wanting to talk to you about a deal
we've discussed with clay.
nobeyama
What kind of a deal would he be in any position to make.
ryoko
Well I know that's the first time he had done anything really bad
and my zero side hates to see him locked up.
And I know you lost a ship to him so here's the deal.
tenchi
In exchange for his release he will become a part of the
gp development teem and one of his first jobs will be making a new ship
to replace the one that he took.
ayeka
How do we know that he'll behave.
ryoko
Ow that's no problem.
As long as clay has something to make robot with he's happy.
Just as long as you keep him busy he'll be fine.
com
What kind of stuff is he capable of making.
ryoko
Stuff that will put anything you have under the table.
nobeyama
Since you are the one that the charges was filed under I have
to have your full conceit.
ryoko
And that you have.
nobeyama
All right I have to talk to the marshal but he'll agree to anything
that will give him access to any new technology.
(Nobeyama leaves to go to his office.)
ayeka
I agree with washu you are up to something.
ryoko
Nothing really
The zero side of me has been with him for fifteen thousand years.
What he did around home is not enough for me to hold against him.
ayeka
But he almost cost tenchi and me are lives.
tenchi
Greed will make people do things the normally will never do.
ayeka
What do you mean greed?
I thought that he was just there to get washu.
ryoko
Yea but guess what this tokime person offered him if
he successfully returned with washu.
(everyone just looked dumfounded.)
A galaxy of his very own.
(everyone had a look of aww....)
The territory of the galaxy police and juai don't even add up to
a full galaxy.
someone of his age begins to lose value in life and with that
prize in front of him his moral self lost control.
ayeka
So a few lives like are's is kind of irrelevant to
countless trillions.
tenchi
So as long as no one offers him another galaxy I doubt he would
try anything questionable again.
ryoko
I doubt he would do it again even if you did offer him a galaxy.
com
Why????
ryoko
Well he didn't really think about it till he was in the can but.
tenchi
Where would he put the thing once he got it?
(Everyone started laughing.)
(A few minuets latter washu and mihoshi returned.)
washu
That old stick in the mud!!!!! I couldn't get him to spill a bean
on why he was so surprised by the gems....
nobeyama(Walking in)
Don't worry you can bug him for years to come at the gp academy.
washu
What????
nobeyama
in exchange for being released he'll be assigned to the gp academy to
help in the development of new equipment.
washu(looks at tenchi and ryoko)
So you are up to something.
ryoko
I'll explain everything in a bit.
nobeyama
Commander you can go down to the cell and release him.
There will be a transport here in a few minuets to take him to his new job.
washu
Are you sure you know what your doing?
He'll have robots running all over the place in days.
nobeyama
That's good that means he's doing his job.
washu
What????????
For a thousand years we tried to get him to do something else
besides making those dam robots.
And your going to encourage him.
com
You bet.
(They head down the clays cell and release him.)
nobeyama
One of the first projects that we want you to work on besides making
a ship to replace the one you took is to work on upgrading
are NB units that help the new trainees.
The old one's have a problem with the various mannerisms that people
use because they are inherently logical machines.
And I hear that you have worked with networks that allow a robot
to think like a normal person without having to have his neural processor
take up half the ship like the AI units on the patrol ships.
clay
Yea I perfected that over five thousand years ago.
nobeyama
Well it should be no problem making one for us.
clay
No it won't .
ryoko
Don't you mean you perfected it fifteen thousand years ago.
clay(thinks)
Well you had to be brought though the normal stages of development
because your neural setup was a direct copy of a human brain.
It was a pain having to act like a dad for a couple years till you could
take care of yourself.
The finished product don't need to go though development stages and
is still mentally stable.
That was the problem.
Trying to skip the development stages and yet retain a stable network.
washu.
So basically you had a bunch of insane robots running around.
ryoko
Tell me about it.
It was.......
Zero will you round them up.
Zero stop him he's trying to commit harry carry.
Zero will you get 342 out of the trash compacter again.
Sometimes being first is a definite plus.
(As they walk down the hall clay holds out his hand to ryoko)
(When no one's looking she slips him his blanket and he sticks
it under his clothes and holds it protectively.)
nobeyama.
One thing I heard from the marshal is
that after hearing the news the jurai royal family is heading to
earth to pick up every one to go to jurai.
Something about declaring something infront of the holy council.
ayeka(sighs)
I was hoping it would be a few more months but time moves on.
tenchi
What?
ayeka
Well when any member of the royal family gets marred they have
to declare it infront of the holy council.
They evidently herd about ryoko being tenchi wife so the next
step is unavoidable.
Especially when it deals with the first crown prince of jurai.
com
Well I guess you should be heading back to earth then.
It seams you have your hands full.
(The group brakes up and the gang heads to mihsohi ship and heads back home.)
(In the holding dock on one of washus lab planets.)
ryoko
Ahh....it'g good to get back home.
tenchi
Tell me about it.
ayeka
I will check up on ryo-oh
then I have to make a call or two.
sasami
I will help.
(ryo-oki gives a mew of agreement from sasami head as they head off.)
washu
And I've got stuff to check up on.
mihoshi
And I have that criminal person to pic up in claton sector..
ryoko
Are your sure you can handle it yourself?
mishohi
Sure no problem I'll see you later.
(The dimensional portal opens and the shuttle disappear though it.)
(After ayeka checks up on ryo-oh she goes
to the house to call nobouyki.)
nobi
Hello this is nobouyki misaki speaking.
ayeka
Hello I was just calling to see how you were coming along.
nobi
Ow your back!!!! I am kinda getting use to you people just
disappearing from time to time.
ayeka
Yea we had to go the galaxy police head quarters.
nobi
Well I bet that was fun.
As for as the dress goes I have finished ryoko dresses
I thought of a design for tenchi but I haven't.
finished that one.
ayeka
What do you mean dresses I thought you was just making one.
nobi
Yea but I had all the patterns and everything so I decided to
just make two of the same thing so she will have one for a spare.
tenchi's should be finished in about three days.
ayeka
Well you might not have three days because jurai heard about it
so they will be here in a day or two to take them to the holy council.
nobi
Well I might be able to pull it off.
I guess I'll let you go about your business so I can get to work.
ayeka
Ok I will call when they get here.
The end.
