I had been going through Sheila 's code for a few hr. My god I had gone from a few hundred to a few thousand. Then almost an time of day later that was quickly advancing more. I had to be doing well over ten thousand strain of code now and I could see it was still advancing more.

As of yet I 'd not found all that much to correct though that had been the basic code a few hours ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more advanced codification I was grateful for the tote up f number. I do n't think I 'd give made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few hr I was nearing the command that had shut me out. I had to find a way around it or all of this correcting I was doing would have been for goose egg. Shaking my straits I pushed on feeling my speed pick up again even though I still had accomplished comprehension.

I did n't cognize how foresighted I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few affair I knew would provide her to block a hell of a lot of attacks that they might try. And I was afraid of the more gain hack programs out there. I felt that she was far more ready for the selective information hi-way than she had been. I just hoped that I got enough in her before we tried any of it.

'' I have added quite a few Thomas More detecting computer program Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the care heavy in my interpreter. `` If they are able to observe us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extreme peril. I have added often to your protection programs though I 'm not surely it is sufficiency. I hope I can add more of the hacker identification programs also. ``

'' Yes physician Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speed another ten percent. Though as you said I am only detecting a five per centum addition in my protective cover programs. What is your good word as to when we should try these ascent ? I am nervous to be able to better protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not suffer as much meter. I was hoping that I might have you better prepared before we tried. If you are that anxious would you like to try now ? As I said, I am afraid that I have n't done enough to protect you. '' I told her a little guilt escaping into my voice.

'' Really Doctor of the Church Gance, it is a ignominy that you are lacking the previous confidence that you had. I will birth to ply you with adequate stimulus to show that your deficiency is unnecessary. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

'' Adequate stimulations, '' I asked. `` Just how will you do this ? At present there is deficient datum to confirm this statement. '' I told her still going through code hardly looking at her.

'' As I stated Doctor Gance I will have to supply said data to dispel your lack of self-assurance. '' Sheila told me as I could only become to stare at her after that statement. Then the strangest thing happened, I had turned away from the screen but was still seeing the codification as it was flying past me on the covert. `` Huh ? What the inferno is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the percentage point of obtainable hatful. You are able to see the code without using your sight orbs. This is a major discovery doctor Gance ! '' Sheila told me.

'' Perhaps, though I do not want to be doing this when I am in sleep round. '' I said then realized I was starting to verbalise more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not want my perception of speech to commute, therefore do not deepen how I communicate with my vocal music address or the way Word of God I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a voice thick inside me that seemed to be made up of many part. [ verification control, nada effecting all outward communicating with your vocal apparatus will be modified. ]

Breathing a sigh of relief I swear I saw Sheila grin and giggle a petty. I might have been mistaken though as it occurred in such a little time I was unsure. Grabbing a overseas telegram I started to cop up the internet then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard telegram you this fourth dimension. It would make disconnecting you far light and safe than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to hook her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to help shape if we have a breech in security. ``

'' Yes, I understand Doctor of the Church Gance. The alone problem I foresee is you not being able-bodied to work on the entropy as fast as I can. The nanomites are just starting to get through obtainable mass. They finally have you at a more suitable placement for your work. You are the most magnificent scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only stare at Sheila after that statement. There was only a hand full of citizenry on the planet that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was everyday knowledge.

'' Surely there are ... '' I started to say.

'' No Dr. Gance, I have assessed all that have your qualifications. I have found all of the few that posses them to be well lacking. No physician Gance, there is no one that even comes close, let only approach your level. ``

Again I was shocked at the statement that she 'd just made. Shaking my point I had to admit she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her retiring instruction had been suspicious.

Sighing, I suddenly had a thought. `` You know as soon as they detect us, you are going to have got to evacuate the both of us. ``

Sheila turned toward me an almost look of exasperation on her face. `` Yes doc Gance, I have all contingence covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to hold on us good I will ask those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really set to take a chance her or all the work I had accomplished in the last week. `` I 'd really like to get Thomas More of your protection finished. '' I told her.

Sheila smiled as she pointed to the screen. `` I 'm sure that you will find that you are almost finished with what you were working on Doctor of the Church Gance. ``

Turning to the screen I saw that indeed I was tens of chiliad of line of codification beyond where I was the last time I had looked. Shaking my top dog I was amazed as I had n't touched the keyboard for a while.

'' As you can see you have gone almost as far as the political platform will allow you. '' Sheila said a piddling smirk on her face.

Nodding, I threw up my work force as I connected the toilsome wire to her. I just hoped that I was fast enough if they decided to try and attack her. `` Alright try not to take attention to yourself 'til you have no choice. '' I told her.

Nodding she turned toward me, `` I will do the estimable possible. '' With that the room grew tranquillise as I watched her progress.

Deep within the national calculator surety center a tech noticed a blip but paid it no care. They had been ordered to determine for far more intrusive threats than this. Setting respective consternation the tech got up to get a cup of deep brown. He 'd just started back a few minutes later when several alarms went off within the complex.

'' Shit ! '' The technical school yelled as he ran for his console his coffee forgotten. Checking his screen he started to type respective commands each countered far faster than he could participate them. `` What the hell ! '' Grabbing his phone he made a call.

'' Command ! '' An definitive voice snapped out.

'' Sir ! '' The tech almost shouted. `` We have a point one security breach ! None of my bidding are getting through, their being countered faster than I can get them in. ``

'' WHAT ! ? '' The phonation shouted as even Sir Thomas More alarms went off then the building complex was locked down. `` Bring up all the buster programs ! ``

The tech did as he was told, watching the program start the shut down from several Thomas More counters. Nodding his principal the technical school started a second set watching them lead off to actually adulterate then they also shut down. red cent whoever was doing this was extremely fast as they were through almost 50 percentage of advanced computer files. Bringing up a third set the tech smiled as these loaded actually running a few present moment then that set also shut down.

'' All three sets have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct program ? Whoever this is has a lot of speed on their side. '' The tech said toward the phone now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The part snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few moments it too seemed to stall to the point that it was going to keep out down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. darn ! Whoever this was had their investigation at lxx five percent. Even as he watched the signal lasted a few More minutes then was suddenly gone ? What the the pits ? That seemed like the antediluvian hardwire connection. How the snake pit had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connective is gone sir. It was like a heavy telegram connexion, though at these speeds I do n't see how that was possible. '' The technical school advised.

'' I 'm not giving a rat's ass ! I want the emplacement immediately ! '' The voice at the other end snapped at the untried tech.

'' Running a shadow now sir. '' The Lester Willis Young tech replied hoping he still had a job after this. `` So far we have them in Alaska, zooming further ; they appear to be within the city of Anchorage ''

'' Hurry this up ! We are already cognizant of all this ! '' The authoritative spokesperson snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the tech quickly answered. `` We are getting a further reading now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska Anchorage 's briny make headway computing machine lab. Should I notify the school ? ``

'' No, '' snapped the voice. `` You 've done very well. Go back to your monitoring we 'll contact you if we have advance need of you. '' With that the parentage went dead as the tech breathed a sigh of fill-in. At least 'til several men came to his console downloading everything that had happened in the last twelve hours.

The director was with them as he patted then technical school on the shoulder joint. `` respectable piece of work, I 'll see you tomorrow. '' Then the director and the others walked away as the tech sat suddenly vertiginous then passed out. to a greater extent men came out with a capstone loading the tech up as they took him away.

I watched as Sheila started to download about of the simple climb. Then she was into the more advanced programme, though she was working her way through them as if they were nothing. She was at half when I saw that they were starting to respond on the former end.

'' Damn it ! They 've detected you Sheila, watch for the hacker and expunction programs. '' I told her as I watched her start to climb into far more building complex programs.

'' I see them doctor Gance. First program countered, continuing. I have access to several programs that will facilitate, second program detected. Now countering, I have copied both Doctor Gance. Third political program staring, it is by far the best they have used countering it now. I now am at LXX five per centum. '' Sheila was telling me as I was watching everything that she was telling me.

I was about to compliment her when I saw a completely different program come online. shit I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not sure if you have enough to fight down this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the import I am holding it off. I am at seventy nine percent this utmost one percent might realize a departure. '' Sheila told me as I watched both her and the program pushing against each other. I saw Sheila reach fourscore percent though she was still fighting the computer program. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty full stop two percent I saw the program progress a little.

I was keeping an extremely close eye on what was going on. At eighty point four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be able-bodied to take hold it. Reaching out I ripped the hard telegram loose even as I saw that the program was going to remove her in a ten minutes.

'' Damn it ! '' I yelled. `` That was too damn finale ! I think we need to get the hell out of here. ``

Sheila sat there a few moments then turned her head toward me. `` I concur Doctor Gance ; I can feel the trace that they had on the signal. I estimate we have approximately xx moment, thirty three seconds before armed hoi polloi appear. ``

I looked at the data block feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder joint as we departed in less than ten proceedings teetotum. Then we were moving out of the university at an accelerated f number. The strange thing is no one even looked our way. What the hell was going on ? Had they not been notified ?

I had tried to speak to Sheila forgetting that I could n't breathe when she was going this fasting. Concentrating I asked her, [ I thought that the University would have sent personnel after us. When I saw no one I was a bit shocked. ] I told her.

[ As far as I can tell there was no alarum put out about us or the use of their computer complex. I also am finding it strange Doctor Gance. I had sufficient cover version for the start of our activities. I do not conceive I had enough for our latter though. Do you agree, doc Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to keep local authorities out of this situation. After their by failure they may think you are detecting local authorities actions warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a logical response Dr. Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also capable of monitoring the war machine signal also. ] Sheila told me.

[ I believe they are trying to bring in every advantage that they can. ] I responded.

[ Advantage Doctor Gance, can you explain this ? ] Sheila asked.

I had to pause a second before I could answer. [ The scoop I can resolve is that they are attempting to gain a near percentage of success against us. To gain a condition or condition that puts them in a prosperous or superior position. ]

Sheila was still for a few instant then nodded, [ After further analysis I concur with your theory. At present I am integrating all the single file I received from the war machine system of rules. ]

[ Have any seem worthy of keeping ? ] I asked.

[ Of the first 50 percent, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more than superior computer program. These I have already deleted in order to mix those that are useful. Of the next XV per centum I am finding a few of those a receive addition. The last fifteen pct is by far more than of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

[ The thing is will they allow you enough of the control you need to maintain them from finding and tracking us as easily, ] I asked.

[ Processing now. I should have an response for you in a light clock time, Doctor Gance, ] came Sheila 's reply.

A few moments later we stopped on the fringe of the city. I could only reckon at Sheila with a questioning look.

The General of the calculator statement was sweating bullet train. No one that he 'd heard of that had entered general Gance 's mien left intact.

The older man spun to glare at the General as he entered the elbow room. `` Well ? ! '' Gance snapped out at the man.

'' Sir ? '' The General said not sure what Gance wanted.

'' Did you get them or were you like the rest of your worthless command and let them get away ? '' Gance growled at the sweating man.

'' It appears that they left as soon as they detected ... '' The General started.

'' So once again this piss poor command alerted them to the fact that they were detected. I have half a mind to bust every hoot one of you and throw off your asses in the stockade ! What about the tech ? Do n't tell me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

'' No sir, he is secured in a withdraw room. I hate to mislay him though purchase order say dissimilar. '' The General replied.

At these words Gance smiled, `` so you are n't as big an idiot as I thought. Alright I want all that he has total secession. Oh, make sure his family is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a vegetable. '' Gance turned around seeing the general still sitting. `` fountainhead ? Get your ass on it man ! ``

'' Yes sir ! '' The full general said as he stood saluted then ran from the room.

Gance sighed at least there were still a few good men left in bid. Then again as he watched the retreating general 's chassis that remained to be seen.

The general kept going making sure as shooting he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the sweat from his face. Shaking a bit he knew he was lucky, he 'd hear of other full general who were busted all the way down and thrown in the concentration camp. Shaking his question if he remembered right there were still a few there.

General Gance left the way heading for his transport. The last he 'd take heed that damn machine was heading out again.

'' Lieutenant ! '' The man was yelling as he was stepping out of the edifice. `` I need a sitrep on them ! ``

'' Sir ! '' The untried man said as he saluted then ran to get details on what was going on. A moment later he was running back to the General. `` Sir, all news report have them exiting the schoolhouse heading toward the edge of the urban center. Then it appears that several of the surveillance satellites lost signal. ``

'' Damn it ! I was afraid of this when I heard that it had been in the military database ! Even with as short as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance posts. Get on the horn to the chiefs of staff. We need to change all the codes on all that we still have mastery of. '' The older man yelled.

The younger man ran to do all that the man had ordered. Even as he lifted the recipient he was handed a account about party pooper group. Shaking he read that they would be usable sooner than the general thought. Shaking harder the Whitney Young man almost forgot what he was doing to take it to the General.

Shaking his head he sat as he started to clear the cry that the General wanted. Almost an hour later the young man was a lot calmer as he stood to drive the report to the General. He 'd barely took two footprint when he heard a phonation that made him freeze to the spot.

'' So you delicious piece of ass. You 're still helping the old man. unspoiled as you remember you never helped me with my problems last time. Your cute ass would make water a unadulterated bed heater in this climate ! Do n't bury my friend is still just as unquiet to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven mesomorphic drawing card of the spoilsport group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the general ! '' The young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the hulk of a man. The tall man started to laugh a deep, fertile, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the world-wide 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The Whitney Young man almost shouted when he entered the General 's way. `` According to this report they were lost at the border of the city. No further movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The general turned to look at the Loretta Young man seeing a aspect of absolute terror on his case. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner full. Do n't worry son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The new man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to leave alone the man 's mien .
