I could barely have got my eyes capable as we walked past most of the hotels. Shaking my head I knew that Sheila had picked us a secure emplacement though I was hoping we got there soon.

"I am still attuned to all military machine and non-military relative frequency doc Gance. At the minute it appears that they have lost cut of us. I am still modulating my own frequencies in random to fall detection."Sheila said after we were in less of a crowd.

"Good,"I said half awake hoot I was wear."We need to get under cover as soon as we can. They may be relying on human being spate of us to bring up another alert."

"Yes, realise doctor Gance."Sheila said as we started to walk to a more deserted sphere."I have located a lieu that I can make far More batten down than almost we have been in. With the add together manhood within this urban center we have more chance of remaining more hidden."

Nodding I followed behind her. My palpebra were starting to weigh a ton. I really needed to lay down soon or she was going to be carrying me.

Stopping a moment Sheila looked at me,"I'm sorry Doctor of the Church Gance your free energy has dropped below that which I consider a danger point. I will endeavor to get us to the untroubled region faster."With that she stooped down picking me up again putting me on her shoulder joint taking off.

I was just hoping that no one could see us. Not that I was insecure about her hauling me around. She had superordinate amphetamine after all thereby keeping the both of us estimable protected. No, I was more afraid that if she took off at eminent speed again they might be able to detect her a lot easier.

"spotter your speed we just fell off their detection, no demand giving our emplacement away again too soon."I told her.

Sheila slowed more as I saw her nod."Thank you doc Gance I am afraid that when it comes to your safety I put all else out of the equation."

She moved for about ten more hour then we were entering another huge building. Almost as large as the hanger that we'd been in, in Sitka. Looking around I could see it appeared to be an old factory. Seeing all the machinery here I smiled. It wasn't much but I hoped that all the heavy metals might give us more cover. Rapidly, Sheila made a soft bed of blankets for me as I lay down. Sinking down into all of them I sighed as I felt my eyes close on their own.

"I shall return soon MD Gance, I know you still have work to do within me I will have as much of a computer built as I can when you awaken."Sheila told me them she was moving off out the doors.

Trying to open my eyes to find out her go I really hoped that this side that she'd chosen was as secures as she thought it was. ambition, I had never really thought about them. I mean they were after all the succession of images, thought, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the brain during certain point of sleep. Yeah right, I thought then there were those thinking that we all didn't try to think about ; incubus. Unpleasant ambition that can have a inviolable excited response from the mind, typically fear but also despair, anxiousness, and outstanding sadness.

Shuddering as I felt myself start to come down gone I remembered the finale one I'd had. Did the machines think I was as unfeeling as the incubus indicated. I'd have to ask Sheila when I was wake up again.

It had to be quite a few minute later when I awoke. Looking around I could see that many hours must receive passed as it was now dark outside. Not too far away I saw Sheila was almost constructing a rather large data processor tower.

"Ah ! Doctor Gance you are awake ! I have built the just that I could for you. Though I am afraid that it has no where the power of those you used in your lab. It does throw twice the ram, and GHz processor of the last I built."Sheila told me with a smile on her face.

Shocked a instant I looked at her closer."Sheila am I detecting a alteration in your emotional platform ?"

"You are very perceptive Doctor Gance. Yes, I am constantly making adaption, in order to manipulate all the change that are acquiring around me."Sheila told me with all honesty.

I nodded as I waited for her to finish up. Shaking my head I had to find out just what she had done to the original program I had written. If as I thought she WAS evolving the program then as I thought before it wouldn't be farseeing before she'd no longer want me.

Hearing a rebuff gasp I looked up to see an almost look of sadness on Sheila's nerve. What the Hades ? Then I remembered that she could when I had extreme emotions actually ‘ hear'some of my view. whoreson ! I thought. Was I afraid of hurting her feelings ?

quivering my head I thought no, she'd have to cause feelings for me THAT seemed an impossibility. Then I looked closer at Sheila's face before it went blank. Christ had I really just hurt her feelings ? Ok I thought I really needed to get in there to do a more detail diagnostic.

Still with a blank face Sheila finally completed what she'd been doing then moved toward me."I believe that with this whole you should be able to fulfil far more."

Nodding I took the leads hooking up what I needed then removing the data quartz loading it to the comprehensive as it came alive.

My eyes went wide as the program started to revel the emotional political program to me. My god it was far and beyond anything that I had written ! Just the shade that he was seeing were greatly effecting just HOW Sheila was using and responding to them."Just how long have you been working on changing them ?"I ask Sheila with an astonished look on my face.

"I started not long after I became self mindful. As I said, everything I saw was antiquated for a being like myself. Are you disquieted with the variety I have made Doctor Gance ? Though I do not bid too, I can reset them to the former settings if that is what you desire."Sheila told me a tinge of sadness in her voice. I ... What ? ! She WAS sad ! Looking closer I could see yes, she had advanced my simple program far beyond anything I had done.

"No ! Please I need to contemplate what you have done. I have no desire to ingest you as you were when all this started. As of right now I'd say these change you have made are what is and ARE keeping me alive. That and you operating as well as you are."I told her suddenly.

Sheila's font seemed to dismount up at this."I will then endeavor, to carry on upon this line of reasoning for you, Doctor Gance. As I said I will do all I can to guarantee your preserve life and existence."

"Yes,"I said as I nodded to her."I am still somewhat upset about that thirdly law that you have instilled with in you. I am going to try and commute it if possible."

Sheila nodded her chief then seemed to be in thought a moment."As I said before Doctor Gance you can attempt to, though as I said I did retrieve it somewhat difficult to actually write a 3rd that I could accept."

I could only shake my straits as I started to delve in deeper finally reaching that percentage of her positronic brain that housed the three laws. Nodding I moved as gently as I could through the terabytes of information I was seeing. Finally I had reached near her CORE seeing the keen many rescript that she'd done.

I had been at it for only a short time or so I thought when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Snapping my head up I saw that Sheila had another concerned feeling on her face."Doctor Gance you again seem to be getting low on the fuel in your body."Reaching over she handed me a plate of solid food, my eyes were tumid as not only was it fresh looking but hot as well !

Shakily I took the plate from her as I took my first raciness. My eyes opened wide as I felt the absolutely delicious meal as it slid down my throat. Then I was attacking it with a hunger I hadn't realized that I had. Finally finished I went back to unraveling the third law that she had instilled within herself.

Quite a few hours later I sat back sighing. I had been through a hell of a lot of conception of the law trying to encounter something other than what she had. Finally I was typing in the last part of what I hoped would render her third law inert.

Pressing the send and hold open I turned to a tacit Sheila."Alright Sheila I believe I have the third law where you will be more self saving. Please read all three of your laws to me again."

Sheila's middle went widely a moment then she started to recite."The three laws that I now follow, my first law DoS : I may not physically hurt Dr. Roger Gance or, through inaction, allow MD Roger Gance to issue forth to any harm."

I nodded as I made notations on the reckoner about the first law."unspoiled and now you second law ?"I asked.

Sheila nodded then continued,"my indorse law commonwealth : I must obey orderliness given by Doctor Roger Gance except where such monastic order would conflict with the starting time Law or are unreasonable. This includes but is not limited to devastation or dying of another being or object seeking to end the world of Doctor Roger Gance."

Again I was nodding as I made far notations on the calculator saving it as soon as it went in."Pretty lots as I expected. Now the third law I worked all day to adjust this one as I found the reception you gave the low time you recited it to be unacceptable."

Sheila was nodding then I saw her eyes go wide as she realized something."doctor Gance I am not sure I can treat this thirdly law that you
have written."

Sighing I was afraid that she might react this way as I started to typewrite several complex dictation. Finished I looked back to her, now please study your third law."

With what sounded like a terse, shuddering sigh Sheila nodded,"I must protect my own creation as long as such protection does not run afoul with the First or Second Law. This law is never to be suspended. I will endeavor to find a solution before, that will make unnecessary and offer the life of physician Roger Gance. The ending of my existence therefore conflicts with the kickoff and endorse laws and is not to be a factor in the equation."

Again Sheila's eyes were all-embracing as I saw that she was already trying to re-write what I had spent hours formulating."I suggest that you cease all actions to delete and rewrite this third gear law."Gently I turned her head toward me as I looked into her center."You don't seem to think that you aren't as important to me as I am to you. Process this please."I said as I waited.

"I am cook Doctor Gance,"Sheila said something in her articulation that I couldn't seem to identify.

"guess : with all the transaction you have with man kind. All the entropy that you have gathered off the selective information highway can you posture a reasoning why I have done what I did ?"I asked her. For a moment she seemed to look a bit confused then clarity seemed to take over.

"surmise : From all I have seen Doctor Gance, with all that I have studied so far. I can only postulate that you have a bully deal of superbia in me. You wish for me to cover to occasion. In some civilization you might say that you are in dear with me as your work."Sheila said as my eyes went wide at her choice of words. Damn ! I think for a moment she had me there. It was on-key I was very overbearing of her. Didn't want anything to pass to her, but love ? I had to retrieve this over.

I was nodding as I sat with a thud then I looked at her with a lowly smile on her facial expression."All that you have said has valid points Sheila. Now I have to ask, I have been ineffectual to define the most complex division of the emotional program. It seems to be made up of all the other emotions that you have."

Sheila suddenly looked at me with what appeared to be a bewildered look as she shook her point no."I can see it, experience it though as to identifying it I have no data to equate it to. I was thinking that you might make out as you Sir Thomas More of an expert with emotions."

Now I know my eyes were declamatory how in the hell could I tell her that I was as much in the dark about them as she was ? Especially the last 20 twelvemonth ? I'd been locked away with almost nothing but scientific discipline to hold me warm at night. Not a lot of emotion there after all.

"I am gloomy doctor Gance that the third law I wrote was so disagreeable to you. As you said I will not essay to overwrite it. Though I am afraid that I might have problem later. You are the most important human alive, I therefore can NEVER appropriate anything to happen to you."Sheila replied.
palpitation my question I again stared at her,"that's the thing Sheila I still haven't found out why !"Then suddenly a thought hit me."Uh ... Sheila ? Do you have feelings for me ?"

This time I was sure of it ! She blushed ! When in the hellhole had she developed that trait ?"I am not as indisputable as you think Doctor Gance, indeed I am feeling affair far different when I am with you. I react to outside stimulation far different when I am with you. Perhaps it is all connected to that rather gravid and anomalous part of the program that neither of us can identify."

I was shaking my head as I started to take a hell of a lot closer feel at that part of the platform. It had all the emotions but they were only a part of it not the main function of it. Shaking my headway my mouth suddenly dropped open. Was it possible ? She had evolved all of them to this point I guess almost anything was possible. I had to contemplate it a bit more to pee sure.

It was the unspoilt part of another day when I finally made a break through. I was beginning to find just what the Hades the curriculum was, well office of it. Though not directly linked to all her emotions it most definitely had a bit of each making it up. As I started to finally stimulate each I nodded as they reacted as I thought they would.

Sheila though placidity this totally time was staring at me as I went through each as slowly as I could. It was a few time of day later and I was barely half way through. Shit I thought this was going to take quite a while.


"general Gance I understand that you have lost them within the confines of anchorage. This isn't sitting well with the Chiefs of staff nor the president. You need to ferret them out NOW ! End this before more permanent price is done. If any of this comes to light up it could seriously demolish the hush-hush monitoring of other countries we have established."The man on the screen door said before his boldness contorted into a grimace.

"Yes Senator, we are working now to neutralizing all scourge that he and it may present. We already have the city locked down it is only a matter of prison term before we locate them."The General breathed out.

The man's head was shaking no as he started again,"I have heard this before General. The last time you had them in Sitka, still they managed to get away. This happens again without prescribed issue ? We may have to remove you to place one there that CAN get event ! Am I making myself clear ? !"

The General snapped to attention as he saluted,"Yes sir, perfectly crystalise. We will do all we can to trance them. We ..."

"No general, the President just issued seek and destroy orders. destroy this mechanical monstrosity once and for all ! Do what it takes and Doctor Gance ? He is to be executed with extreme prejudice. If you have a problem with that then I will remove you this instant."The Senator said.

"No sir,"the superior general said with a smile on his face."I have been waiting for the parliamentary procedure to kill that dissipation of outer space for eld now. He is nothing but a blight on a proud armed services family."

The senator was nodding as he was staring intensely at the General. Satisfied the Senator nodded."Good I want this man dead as soon as potential. Far too much is riding on the achiever of this mission. Get it done General."The Senator said then clicked off.

The General was smiling, finally they had given him the go ahead and end that little pricking of a son of his. Son ? Ha ! More as he'd said before a permissive waste of blank space as far as he was concerned."Lieutenant !"The full general bellowed bringing the youthful man rushing forward.

"Yes General."The younger man said standing at attention.

Looking at the man the General nodded this was a more proper war machine man. Always obeying orders, doing what the blaze he was told for the good of the country."We've finally been given seek and destroy orders from the President. I want ALL posts, fundament, units EVERYTHING activated for this. This takes top antecedence over everything else. Get on it let every dictation know that they all are to be on high alarum for anything that appears to be out of the ordinary."

The Lieutenant saluted as he made his way to the radio tent. They were as close to Anchorage as they could get without arousing suspicion. At least the Cy Young man thought he hoped they were, it wouldn't go well if the General got pissed as had again. Shuddering the young man picked up the box of cigars that he'd kept all this clip. He'd seen that the general was almost out again. Having a good surprise would he hoped put him in better with the General's respectable grace for a good piece, well he hoped.

The general watched the new man walk out in a haste to get what the General had conveyed out to the rest of those in Last Frontier. Yeah he thought you are going to die soon you sorry excuse for a son. Shaking his head teacher he tried to blot out the image of the failure that he felt that his son was.

Moving around to several blind the General saw that they were slowly starting to fold in. commodity with any destiny the ass would be dead before the day was up, with that mechanically skillful spell of doodly-squat a man of slag metal that they could easily fade to something far useful.


I had almost completely marooned all of the huge what appeared to be an anomalous program. Though as I was slowly starting to realize it wasn't as anomalous as I had at first thought.

I only had a few more to go through I was actually forming an theme as to just what they truly were. This was a impact to me as I hadn't expected her to take it as far as she had.

Stopping I was staring at Sheila with an absolutely dumb hit flavor on my brass. Sheila turned toward me when I had stopped typing and moving."Doctor Gance are you well ? I have detected stimulus across your pituitary gland gland as well as far more Adrenalin being released into your system than normal."

I could barely move as I looked at her."According to all that I have found Sheila, all the data I have been through. It appears that ... are you are in love with me ?"

Sheila's eyes were wide of the mark for a second then her head turned toward the front as she threw me over her articulatio humeri taking off in the diametrical direction. A import later the front of the building exploded then disintegrated .
