I had been going through Sheila 's code for a few hours. My god I had gone from a few hundred to a few grand. Then almost an hr later that was quickly advancing more. I had to be doing well over ten thousand dividing line of computer 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 computer code a few hours ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more advanced computer code I was grateful for the added speed. I do n't think I 'd take in made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few 60 minutes I was nearing the control that had shut me out. I had to come up a way around it or all of this correcting I was doing would induce been for nothing. Shaking my head I pushed on feeling my speed pick up again even though I still had complete comprehension.

I did n't have it away how retentive I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would allow her to block a netherworld of a lot of flack that they might try. And I was afraid of the more come along hacker computer programme out there. I felt that she was far more cook for the 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 More detection plan Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the business organisation heavy in my representative. `` If they are able to observe us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extreme danger. I have added a great deal to your protective cover programs though I 'm not certainly it is enough. I hope I can add more of the cyberpunk recognition course of study also. ``

'' Yes Doctor Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speed another ten pct. Though as you said I am only detecting a five per centum increase in my protection programs. What is your testimonial as to when we should try these upgrades ? I am dying to be able-bodied to ameliorate protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not stimulate as much time. I was hoping that I might suffer you honest 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 doc Gance, it is a shame that you are lacking the previous trust that you had. I will have to ply you with adequate stimulus to show up that your lack is unnecessary. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

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

'' As I stated doctor Gance I will suffer to furnish said data to scatter your lack of sureness. '' Sheila told me as I could only turn to stare at her after that affirmation. Then the strange thing happened, I had turned away from the blind but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the CRT screen. `` Huh ? What the hell is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the point of obtainable mass. You are able to see the code without using your quite a little orbs. This is a John R. Major breakthrough MD Gance ! '' Sheila told me.

'' Perhaps, though I do not want to be doing this when I am in eternal rest Hz. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not need my perception of speech to interchange, therefore do not change how I communicate with my vocal language or the way words I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a voice deeply inside me that seemed to be made up of many voices. [ check control, nothing effecting all outward communicating with your vocal setup will be modified. ]

respiration a suspiration of fill-in I swear I saw Sheila smiling and titter a trivial. I might have been mistaken though as it occurred in such a short time I was timid. Grabbing a cable I started to sneak up the cyberspace then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard conducting wire you this sentence. It would pass water disconnecting you far easier and safer than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to gazump her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to help influence if we have a rear of barrel in security. ``

'' Yes, I understand Doctor of the Church Gance. The only problem I foresee is you not being able-bodied to process the information as fast as I can. The nanomites are just starting to reach getable mass. They finally have you at a more suitable position for your work. You are the most brilliant scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only stare at Sheila after that financial statement. There was only a deal full of people on the satellite that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was daily knowledge.

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

'' No Doctor Gance, I have assessed all that have your qualifications. I have found all of the few that posses them to be well lacking. No doc Gance, there is no one that even comes close, let unaccompanied set about your floor. ``

Again I was shocked at the command that she 'd just defecate. Shaking my point I had to intromit she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her past affirmation had been suspicious.

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

Sheila turned toward me an almost looking of exasperation on her face. `` Yes Doctor Gance, I have all contingencies covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to keep us safe I will want those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really ready to take a chance her or all the piece of work I had accomplished in the final week. `` I 'd really like to get more of your protection finished. '' I told her.

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

turn to the screen I saw that indeed I was tens of yard of telephone line of codification beyond where I was the last fourth dimension I had looked. Shaking my head 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 programme will countenance you. '' Sheila said a short smirk on her face.

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

Nodding she turned toward me, `` I will do the best possible. '' With that the way grew quiet as I watched her progress.

Deep within the internal computer security department plaza a technical school noticed a blip but paid it no attending. They had been ordered to watch for far more intrusive threats than this. Setting several warning device the tech got up to get a cup of coffee. He 'd just started back a few minutes later when several alarms went off within the complex.

'' dump ! '' The technical school yelled as he ran for his console his coffee forgotten. Checking his filmdom he started to type several commands each countered far faster than he could enter them. `` What the Inferno ! '' Grabbing his phone he made a call.

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

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

'' WHAT ! ? '' The voice shouted as even more consternation went off then the 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 more counters. Nodding his caput the tech started a second set watching them set off to actually dilute then they also shut down. Damn whoever was doing this was extremely profligate as they were through almost fifty percent of advanced figurer file cabinet. Bringing up a tertiary set the technical school smiled as these loaded actually running a few second then that set also shut down.

'' All three hardening have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct program ? Whoever this is has a lot of upper on their side of meat. '' The technical school said toward the phone now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The voice snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few bit it too seemed to stall to the peak that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. Shit ! Whoever this was had their probes at LXX five pct. Even as he watched the sign lasted a few More minutes then was suddenly gone ? What the pit ? That seemed like the ancient hardwire connection. How the Hell had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connecter is gone sir. It was like a hard conducting wire connection, though at these velocity I do n't see how that was possible. '' The tech advised.

'' I 'm not giving a rat's ass ! I want the location immediately ! '' The vocalism at the other end snapped at the Brigham Young tech.

'' Running a trace now sir. '' The Whitney 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 urban center of anchorage ground ''

'' haste this up ! We are already cognisant of all this ! '' The authoritative representative snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the technical school quickly answered. `` We are getting a further reading now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska Anchorage 's chief advanced computing device 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 further indigence of you. '' With that the stock went stagnant as the technical school breathed a sigh of relief. At least 'til several men came to his comfort downloading everything that had happened in the last twelve hours.

The managing director was with them as he patted then tech on the shoulder. `` upright work, I 'll see you tomorrow. '' Then the director and the others walked away as the tech sat suddenly dizzy then passed out. Sir Thomas More men came out with a capstone loading the technical school up as they took him away.

I watched as Sheila started to download most of the elementary raise. Then she was into the more get ahead programs, 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 early end.

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

'' I see them Doctor Gance. First program countered, continuing. I have access to various programs that will help, sec program detected. Now countering, I have copied both medico Gance. Third political platform staring, it is by far the secure they have used countering it now. I now am at seventy five per centum. '' Sheila was telling me as I was watching everything that she was telling me.

I was about to pride her when I saw a completely different computer programme come online. Shit I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not certain if you have enough to fight this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the moment I am holding it off. I am at seventy nine percent this last one percent might make a difference. '' Sheila told me as I watched both her and the program pushing against each other. I saw Sheila get to lxxx per centum though she was still fighting the computer programme. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty point two percent I saw the programme 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 to hold it. Reaching out I ripped the hard wire loose even as I saw that the program was going to necessitate her in a ten minutes.

'' Damn it ! '' I yelled. `` That was too bedamn close ! I think we need to get the netherworld out of here. ``

Sheila sat there a few mo then turned her head toward me. `` I concur Doctor Gance ; I can feel the trace that they had on the sign. I estimate we have approximately twenty min, thirty three sec before armed people appear. ``

I looked at the datum cube feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder as we departed in less than ten proceedings height. Then we were moving out of the university at an accelerated fastness. The unknown 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 rest when she was going this fast. 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 narrate there was no alarum put out about us or the use of their calculator building complex. I also am finding it unusual physician Gance. I had sufficient covert for the start of our natural process. I do not guess I had enough for our latter though. Do you concur, Doctor Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to restrain local agency out of this situation. After their past failure they may think you are detecting local office military action warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a logical response Doctor Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also adequate to of monitoring the military sign also. ] Sheila told me.

[ I believe they are trying to take in every vantage that they can. ] I responded.

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

I had to hesitate a consequence before I could respond. [ The best I can reply is that they are attempting to gain a intimately percentage of success against us. To gain a condition or consideration that puts them in a favorable or ranking position. ]

Sheila was subdued for a few moments then nodded, [ After boost analysis I concur with your hypothesis. At present I am integrating all the single file I received from the military system. ]

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

[ Of the first fifty percent, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more superior programs. These I have already deleted in Order to integrate those that are useful. Of the future fifteen percent I am finding a few of those a welcome gain. The last fifteen percent is by far Thomas More of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

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

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

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

The General of the computer mastery was sweating bullet. No one that he 'd heard of that had entered worldwide Gance 's front left intact.

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

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

'' Did you get them or were you like the remainder 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 superior general started.

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

'' No sir, he is secured in a crawfish out room. I hate to misplace him though rescript say unlike. '' 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 backdown. Oh, construct indisputable his household is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a veg. '' Gance turned around seeing the superior general still sitting. `` Well ? Get your ass on it man ! ``

'' Yes sir ! '' The superior 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 cast that remained to be seen.

The General kept going making sure 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 favourable, he 'd get wind of other general who were busted all the way down and thrown in the stockade. Shaking his head if he remembered right there were still a few there.

full general Gance left the room heading for his rapture. The finis he 'd hear that tinker's dam car 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 young man said as he saluted then ran to get inside information on what was going on. A moment later he was running back to the full general. `` Sir, all reports have them exiting the school heading toward the boundary of the city. Then it appears that respective of the surveillance satellites lost sign. ``

'' Damn it ! I was afraid of this when I heard that it had been in the military database ! Even with as lilliputian as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance posts. Get on the car horn to the foreman of faculty. We need to change all the computer code on all that we still have control of. '' The old man yelled.

The vernal man ran to do all that the man had ordered. Even as he lifted the receiver he was handed a reputation about party pooper group. Shaking he read that they would be useable rather than the General opinion. Shaking harder the young man almost forgot what he was doing to take it to the General.

Shaking his question he sat as he started to make the calls that the General wanted. Almost an hr later the Lester Willis Young man was a lot calmer as he stood to take the report to the superior general. He 'd barely took two steps when he heard a voice that made him freeze to the spot.

'' So you delicious piece of ass. You 're still helping the old man. Good as you remember you never helped me with my problems last time. Your cute ass would earn a perfect bed warmer in this climate ! Do n't forget my friend is still just as dying to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven brawny leader of the wet blanket group.

'' I ... I have to get this theme to the General ! '' The young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the giant of a man. The tall man started to laugh a deep, rich, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the general 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The Pres Young man almost shouted when he entered the superior general 's elbow room. `` According to this reputation they were lost at the boundary of the city. No encourage movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The cosmopolitan turned to reckon at the untried man seeing a look of absolute little terror on his typeface. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner honorable. Do n't interest son I plan to spill the beans to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The Lester Willis Young man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to leave the man 's mien .
