I could barely hold my optic open as we walked past most of the hotels. Shaking my foreland I knew that Sheila had picked us a secure localisation though I was hoping we got there soon.

"I am still attuned to all military and non-military frequencies medico Gance. At the here and now it appears that they have lost path of us. I am still modulating my own oftenness in random to subside detection."Sheila said after we were in less of a crowd.

"Good,"I said one-half awake damn I was weary."We need to get under cover as soon as we can. They may be relying on homo sight of us to bring up another alert."

"Yes, understood Doctor Gance."Sheila said as we started to walk to a more desert surface area."I have located a position that I can make far more secure than to the highest degree we have been in. With the added humanity within this city 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 present moment Sheila looked at me,"I'm sorry Doctor Gance your energy has dropped below that which I consider a risk point. I will strive to get us to the fasten surface area 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 superior speeding after all thereby keeping the both of us better protected. No, I was more afraid that if she took off at in high spirits speed again they might be able to detect her a lot easier.

"Watch your speed we just fell off their sleuthing, no need giving our stead away again too soon."I told her.

Sheila slowed more as I saw her nod."Thank you Doctor 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 minutes then we were entering another immense 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 manufacturing plant. Seeing all the machinery here I smiled. It wasn't much but I hoped that all the heavy metal might give us Thomas More cover. Rapidly, Sheila made a balmy bed of blankets for me as I lay down. Sinking down into all of them I sighed as I felt my middle close on their own.

"I shall return soon doctor Gance, I know you still have work to do within me I will have as very much of a electronic 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 look on her go I really hoped that this stance that she'd elect was as secures as she thought it was. dreaming, I had never really thought about them. I mean they were after all the successiveness of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain phase of sleep. Yeah right, I thought then there were those thoughts that we all didn't try to cerebrate about ; incubus. Unpleasant dreams that can cause a strong worked up response from the mind, typically fear but also desperation, anxiety, and heavy sadness.

Shuddering as I felt myself set forth to fall at rest I remembered the last one I'd had. Did the machines think I was as hardhearted as the incubus indicated. I'd have to ask Sheila when I was alive again.

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

"Ah ! doctor Gance you are awake ! I have built the best 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 have twice the ram, and Gc mainframe of the finis I built."Sheila told me with a smile on her face.

Shocked a moment I looked at her closer."Sheila am I detecting a change in your worked up computer program ?"

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

I nodded as I waited for her to stop up. Shaking my head I had to obtain out just what she had done to the pilot computer program I had written. If as I thought she WAS evolving the program then as I thought before it wouldn't be long before she'd no longer require me.

Hearing a slender pant I looked up to see an almost tone of sadness on Sheila's expression. What the hell ? Then I remembered that she could when I had extreme emotions actually ‘ take heed'some of my thoughts. Shit ! I thought. Was I afraid of hurting her feelings ?

shakiness my fountainhead I thought no, she'd have to suffer feelings for me THAT seemed an impossibleness. Then I looked closer at Sheila's cheek before it went blank shell. Christ had I really just smart her impression ? Ok I thought I really needed to get in there to do a more detailed diagnostic.

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

Nodding I took the leads hooking up what I needed then removing the data point crystal loading it to the comp as it came alive.

My eyes went extensive as the program started to make whoopie the emotional course of study to me. My god it was far and beyond anything that I had written ! Just the subtleties 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 amaze look on my face.

"I started not long after I became self aware. As I said, everything I saw was antiquated for a being like myself. Are you derangement with the changes I have made Doctor Gance ? Though I do not wish too, I can reset them to the former settings if that is what you desire."Sheila told me a clue of lugubriousness in her vocalisation. I ... What ? ! She WAS sad ! Looking closer I could see yes, she had advanced my dim-witted political platform far beyond anything I had done.

"No ! please I need to study what you have done. I have no desire to have you as you were when all this started. As of rightfield now I'd say these changes you have made are what is and ARE keeping me active. That and you operating as well as you are."I told her suddenly.

Sheila's face seemed to light up at this."I will then strive, to continue upon this line of reasoning for you, Doctor of the Church Gance. As I said I will do all I can to ensure your stay biography and existence."

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

Sheila nodded her head word then seemed to be in thought a second."As I said before Doctor Gance you can undertake to, though as I said I did find it somewhat hard to actually compose a thirdly that I could accept."

I could only shake my head as I started to dig in deeper finally reaching that part of her positronic brain that housed the three police force. Nodding I moved as gently as I could through the TiB of information I was seeing. Finally I had reached near her marrow seeing the big many revision that she'd done.

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

Shakily I took the home base from her as I took my low gear bite. My eyes opened all-inclusive as I felt the absolutely scrumptious repast 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 hour later I sat back sighing. I had been through a hell of a lot of conceptions of the law trying to come up something other than what she had. Finally I was typing in the last office of what I hoped would render her tertiary law inert.

Pressing the send and save I turned to a dumb 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 eyes went wide a moment then she started to recite."The three laws that I now follow, my first law State : I may not physically injure Doctor Roger Gance or, through inaction, allow doctor Roger Gance to come to any harm."

I nodded as I made notational system on the computing device about the first law."proficient and now you second law ?"I asked.

Sheila nodded then continued,"my second gear law states : I must obey orders given by Doctor Roger Gance except where such orders would infringe with the outset Law or are undue. This includes but is not limited to destruction or death of another being or object seeking to end the beingness of Dr. Roger Gance."

Again I was nodding as I made foster notational system on the information processing system saving it as soon as it went in."Pretty much as I expected. Now the third gear law I worked all day to adjust this one as I found the reply you gave the 1st fourth dimension 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 certainly I can process this third law that you
have written."

Sighing I was afraid that she might respond this way as I started to type various complex commands. Finished I looked back to her, now please interpret your third law."

With what sounded like a terse, shuddering sigh Sheila nodded,"I must protect my own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or endorsement Law. This law is never to be suspended. I will endeavor to see a answer before, that will save and put out the life of Doctor Roger Gance. The ending of my existence therefore conflicts with the showtime and 2d practice of law and is not to be a gene in the equation."

Again Sheila's middle were across-the-board as I saw that she was already trying to re-write what I had spent hours formulating."I suggest that you cease all action at law to delete and rewrite this third law."Gently I turned her point toward me as I looked into her eyes."You don't seem to think that you aren't as significant to me as I am to you. Process this please."I said as I waited.

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

"Conjecture : with all the dealings you have with human variety. All the data that you have gathered off the information highway can you posture a reasoning why I have done what I did ?"I asked her. For a moment she seemed to seem a bit befuddle then clarity seemed to study over.

"Supposition : From all I have seen doctor Gance, with all that I have studied so far. I can only postulate that you have a gravid deal of pride in me. You wish for me to go forward to social occasion. In some culture you might say that you are in dearest with me as your work."Sheila said as my eyes went encompassing at her choice of Holy Writ. damn ! I think for a moment she had me there. It was true I was very supercilious of her. Didn't want anything to happen to her, but love ? I had to opine this over.

I was nodding as I sat with a thud then I looked at her with a small grinning on her face."All that you have said has valid stop Sheila. Now I have to ask, I have been unable to define the most complex voice of the excited course of study. It seems to be made up of all the former emotions that you have."

Sheila suddenly looked at me with what appeared to be a stick look as she shook her head no."I can see it, feel it though as to identifying it I have no information to compare it to. I was thinking that you might know as you more of an expert with emotions."

Now I know my eyes were big how in the Hell could I secern her that I was as much in the dark about them as she was ? Especially the survive twenty twelvemonth ? I'd been locked away with almost nothing but science to keep me warm at night. Not a lot of emotion there after all.

"I am sorry doc Gance that the third law I wrote was so unsympathetic to you. As you said I will not attempt to overwrite it. Though I am afraid that I might have problems later. You are the most of import human animated, I therefore can NEVER leave anything to encounter to you."Sheila replied.
Shaking my headland I again stared at her,"that's the affair Sheila I still haven't found out why !"Then suddenly a sentiment hit me."Uh ... Sheila ? Do you have feelings for me ?"

This clock time I was sure of it ! She blushed ! When in the hell had she developed that trait ?"I am not as indisputable as you think Doctor Gance, indeed I am feeling things far different when I am with you. I react to outside input far different when I am with you. Perhaps it is all connected to that rather big and anomalous persona of the curriculum that neither of us can identify."

I was shaking my head as I started to take a hell of a lot closer look at that part of the computer programme. It had all the emotions but they were only a part of it not the main part of it. Shaking my head teacher my sassing suddenly dropped unresolved. Was it possible ? She had evolved all of them to this point I guess almost anything was possible. I had to consider it a bit more to make sure.

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

Sheila though quiet this whole clip was staring at me as I went through each as slowly as I could. It was a few hours 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 United States President. You need to ferret them out NOW ! End this before more perm damage is done. If any of this comes to light it could seriously demolish the secret monitoring of other countries we have established."The man on the screen said before his side contorted into a grimace.

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

The man's pass was shaking no as he started again,"I have heard this before superior general. The last metre you had them in Sitka, still they managed to get away. This happens again without positive result ? We may bear to get rid of you to place one there that CAN get resultant ! Am I making myself exculpate ? !"

The General snapped to attention as he saluted,"Yes sir, perfectly clean-cut. We will do all we can to conquer them. We ..."

"No full general, the President just issued search and destroy monastic order. Destroy this mechanical lusus naturae once and for all ! Do what it takes and MD Gance ? He is to be executed with extreme preconception. If you have a problem with that then I will withdraw you this instant."The Senator said.

"No sir,"the General said with a smiling on his face."I have been waiting for the society to kill that permissive waste of infinite for years now. He is nothing but a blight on a proud military family."

The senator was nodding as he was staring intensely at the full general. Satisfied the Senator nodded."beneficial I want this man numb as soon as possible. Far too often 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 prick of a son of his. Son ? Ha ! More as he'd said before a waste of space as far as he was concerned."Lieutenant !"The general bellowed bringing the young man rushing forward.

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

Looking at the man the General nodded this was a more proper military man. Always obeying orders, doing what the hellhole he was told for the good of the country."We've finally been given seek and ruin ordination from the president. I want ALL Charles William Post, cornerstone, unit EVERYTHING activated for this. This takes top priority over everything else. Get on it let every program line know that they all are to be on highschool alerting for anything that appears to be out of the ordinary."

The lieutenant saluted as he made his way to the wireless collapsible shelter. They were as close down to Anchorage as they could get without arousing suspicion. At least the young man thought he hoped they were, it wouldn't go well if the general got pissed as had again. Shuddering the unseasoned man picked up the box of cigars that he'd kept all this time. He'd seen that the General was almost out again. Having a upright surprisal would he hoped put him in better with the superior general's good graces for a right while, well he hoped.

The general watched the new man walk out in a hastiness to get what the superior general had conveyed out to the eternal sleep of those in Alaska. Yeah he thought you are going to die soon you sorry rationalise for a son. Shaking his head he tried to fleck out the image of the unsuccessful person that he felt that his son was.

Moving around to several covert the superior general saw that they were slowly starting to shut in. Good with any luck the ass would be dead before the day was up, with that mechanical spell of son of a bitch a piece of scoria metal that they could easily unfreeze to something far useful.


I had almost completely insulate all of the vast what appeared to be an anomalous platform. 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 estimate as to just what they truly were. This was a shock to me as I hadn't expected her to aim it as far as she had.

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

I could barely go 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 oculus were wide for a back then her head turned toward the front as she threw me over her shoulder joint taking off in the contrary direction. A moment later the front of the building exploded then disintegrated .
