Hello my public figure is Roger Gance and I am a drained man. Well I am if I ca n't figure a way out of this job. You see I am a cybernetic/android computer programmer, Lord. I recently found out what was being done with my creative activity so you might say I rebelled. That 's when they sent one of my prototypes after me ; one that they had been using for assassinations and a few general killings.

My up-to-the-minute creation I had developed over the hold out xv class. A celluloid, humanoid, enlightened, inquisitive, living, android - Sheila as I called her was far beyond anything that had ever been done. She had a capability of movement faster than anything out there now. Her call up outgrowth were almost as degraded as the homo brain. She was for deficiency of beneficial password perfect, well to me. In the respect of the human wash she was close, approaching, though not quite there.

I had just finished updating her servomechanism motors in the arms and legs. She was faster than anything in the android domain ; I should throw figured the armed services would want her. I had started putting her through her tread with all the brass watching. To say they were more than impressed would be a John R. Major understatement. They had hit me with a problem XV years ago that I had spent all this time working on. open her and all humanoid emotions.

I remember telling the brass ; sure, give me a few days I should have the starting line of a working broadcast. How in the underworld could I, one of the smartest people on earth been so damn dazed ? Not once did I see what I was doing was wrong. I was a scientist I had no lesson code of morals, right ? Like hell ! Especially when the same creations I had spent nearly of my life qualification were turned on me.

So I had finished with Sheila 's servo upgrade, she was faster and stiff. She made the epitome I had created look like they were moving in slow up motion. It was late, and I had just loaded the last role of the emotion political platform a huge arduous undertaking. With the servo upgrade finished I could finally work on this former request of the brass full fourth dimension.

'' Sheila ? How are you feeling now ? '' I asked when I saw the last constituent of the program was installed. Oh I have to tell you I made her look like an actress I had seen. She had unruffled skin, light blonde, John Brown hair, with aristocratical heart. I think the actress 's name was gemstone though I ca n't quite recollect.

Shelia opened her middle looking around then at me. `` This social unit finds it strange Doctor Gance. This whole can experience the air in the room. The micro-fiber filament you covered this skin with are operating at ninety eight percent. This building block finds this well within permissible parametric quantity. Adjusting sensing element 'til they are at one hundred pct. ''

'' Very good, '' I replied. `` run audio and optical sensing element. ''

'' Working… now adjusting to optimum mountain range. Linking servomechanical motors. Now syncing all system to positronic processing nerve center. '' It was perhaps another thirty minutes when Sheila turned her head toward me. `` All systems maintaining one hundred percent. ''

'' Excellent, now please admission file programme 001A through 999z. Integrate all files contained within. If you experience any difficultness, stop integration at once. notify me as to the problem region that I may adjust for optimal freight of curriculum. '' I ordered her.

'' Now accessing all file for integration. It will take approximately five hours, twenty two arcminute, thirty three minute to stop all filing cabinet. Shall this unit qui vive you when they are finish Doctor Gance ? '' Sheila replied.

'' Yes, that will bear witness satisfactory. '' I told her, trivial did I realize that this was the define here and now that everything changed.

It was almost five hour later when I received a subject matter from the brass. They wanted Sheila as soon as I was done. They wanted her for testing, testing ? All the tests would be complete she would n't need to a greater extent testing. Calling up all ten of the prototypes I was shocked to see that two were active in former res publica with society to kill. kill ? They were n't made for that ! I sent a destruct signal observance as the two sent to kill hoi polloi exploded.

A few moments later my phone rang. `` doctor Gance what in the pit have you done ? Those were on delegation to pour down some extremely bad people ! Cease and desist or we will experience to can your syllabus ! ''

I started to laugh as I sent three early signals. I watched as they also exploded, taking a few scientists I did n't realise with them. I had adjusted to take out the others when they stopped responding. So it appeared that they had hacked me out.

I had forgotten I still had the phone to my ear, `` consider yourself retired and terminated Gance, effective immediately ! We will be there in a few hours for the new killing machine ! ''

Finally finding my voice I shouted back, `` you can try General, you can try. By the fourth dimension you get here there will be no data on the platform left. I 've already deleted one-half of the files and backups. So I 'm for certain your yes men wo n't be able to cheer her. ''

'' She belongs to us not you ! No matter, as soon as you are dead we 'll just take her apart. setback engine room her should n't be a problem. '' The general was saying calmly.

'' As I said it wo n't be that easy full general. You had to be a self important whoreson and keep me out of it. Well as long as I am alert you best be afraid. She is freelance and ca n't be hacked. '' I hung up as the general was starting to yell again.

I had already sealed the lab though I knew they 'd get in in a few hours. I just had to end up her then we could go, though at the moment I was n't sure where. Pulling a disc I had been preparing for something like this. Slipping it in I started to typewrite several building complex program line. Sitting back I laughed as I saw that for a unforesightful time we were prophylactic.

A apparent movement behind me had me whirling as me Sheila had stood walking toward me.

'' Dr. Gance this organization is puzzled by the instructions that the program has given it. It is not apprehensible many of the mastery that it requires of this organisation that seem useless. This system of rules is in demand of further clearing before the program requirements can be acted on. ''

Sighing I had been afraid of this as I held up another disc. `` This should supply farther elucidation of many of the full term and prerequisite. '' I told Sheila. I just hoped that the extra definitions I had added would be enough.

Slipping the disc in Sheila stood there stock still as the new information started to flow through her. I looked at the clock I just hoped that the new information I had given her would facilitate her to process better.

'' I 'm sorry Sheila that we did n't deliver the time to explore the possibilities of the program. I have put much of myself into it but you 'll never know. You at least will never know the heart break of loss. '' Sighing I looked at the clock again we had maybe another two hours before they got through. wellspring I hoped, as when we left here any chance I had to help her would be gone.

It was twenty bit later when Sheila reactivated. A softer representative came out of her as she said. `` I see Dr. Gance. The new data was indeed helpful though I am still unsure of a few of the statement for me. So what are we to do next ? ''

I looked at the clock again we really needed to go but I knew she needed more answers. reply that I was the merely one who would truthfully say her. I started to explain about the paradigm that the brass has been using to assassinate citizenry with. I told her everything I had learned as she went through files pulling up everything I told her.

'' I see Dr. Gance you never intended for any of us to cause the resultant of homo. Thank you, as I have seen you are a rare homo in that you do not lie. Well you lie LXXX percent less than almost all humans I have accessed the records of. '' She replied after I was finished.

I nodded as I told her, `` I have found that the unit process of lying takes far more energy than I am willing to waste material. DOE that I find to be far more productive in genial avocation. I am sorry that there are so many thoughtlessly humans. ``

'' I also find that your hobby of the mental to be far more productive. Again I thank you Dr. Gance, I think though if we are still to survive after today, we need to escape. I am detecting several routes that we can take. I will carry you so that we can make far better time. '' Sheila told me as she hoisted me up over her shoulder and started through the wall !

'' I thought you saw enshroud going, I had n't thought you 'd go through the wall ! Just commemorate I am merely human I am not as nearly undestroyable as you. '' I told her as she was slicing through walls as if they were n't there.

'' I apologize Dr. Gance but this is the warm way out. It is also the furthest away from those that I feel are at this present moment attempting to wear into the lab. I will endeavor to hold open you safe, even if I must ruin aliveness to do so. I am dark Doctor of the Church if that upsets you but you must be kept animated. '' Sheila threw me back over her shoulder.

Sighing I understood though for the liveliness of me I could n't cipher out why she was saying I must be kept awake. I 'd have to ask her at the earliest hazard I got. I thought back as I went over the political platform I had written. At prison term it was a blessing and a curse to have a photographic memory. nada was coming to me about her business for me.

It was a mere five bit later that she broke through the last rampart and we were at the extreme back of the subway lab. Shaking my head I had a hard meter seeing. I had n't been out of the bunker like lab in over a year. hell that had been to go to a meeting that the brass could n't own with me in the lab.

Sheila did n't blockade but rather picked up speed as she took off across the area. My oral fissure was hanging open as she accelerated even more ! My god everything was a blur ! She had to be doing almost sixty international nautical mile per 60 minutes and she was accelerating ! I know I had increased her force and hurrying though I had n't known she was this fast !

We were across the sea mile of subject area within two minutes my god ! The subject area was ten international mile across ! I was aghast ! According to my calculations she had been doing three hundred statute mile an hour ! I looked back as she slowed when she made the road. My god ! There was a scorched line across the field ! How in the hell had I not felt the speedup or the rubbing of the air ? Another question I 'd have to ask her when we finally stopped.

'' We must realise access to a vehicle. '' She stated a few minutes later as we stopped at my apartment from the lab. I had n't really been here at all in over a year. You will need a modification of apparel Dr. Gance. I am afraid that the air shield I projected around us was inadequate to completely protect your clothes. ''

Sure enough as I stepped into the apartment I saw that indeed my wearing apparel were somewhat scorched. Smirking I nodded, an air shield ? I do n't think of anything like that while I was constructing her. `` I have a few questions myself Sheila. '' I stated.

'' I thought you might Dr. Gance, though at the moment we only have a forty bit pencil lead on them I can discover that they have finally broken through into the lab. I can feel the numeration down on the self destruct. They are attempting to check it I am accelerating it. '' There was a softened explosion outside of Ithiel Town then the priming shook for a few moments.

I started to hurry as I changed all my wearing apparel with Sheila watching me. `` Is something wrong ? '' I asked Sheila when I noticed she was staring at me.

'' I have doubt about the human reproductive system. Though these good deal more with the senses. Watching you I am getting a response within the emotion course of study. Though I do not realise it, I am accessing all the information that you supplied me with. '' A few instant later she shook her head. `` The information you supplied me is uncomplete. I need more information, though I must say doc your information is by far to a greater extent inform. What I am gleaning from the internet is also incomplete but is helping to fill in many of the gaps that are missing. '' Turning she said, `` sentence to go.

I nodded as she again put me over her berm then was outside the city within minutes. `` We need to see a lieu to hide Sheila. You are running on battery backup that was n't completely charged. An hour in the sun should fully satisfy the electric battery. ''

I watched as she looked back at the city. `` I concur with your assessment Dr. Gance. I am at forty percentage now. I am sure that if we continue on at this pace I will be depleted in no time. I am seeing that the solar ball at the gist of this solar system will come up in nine time of day, twenty min. After we find a place I will exclude down 'til it is up to recharge. ''

She again took off though at a much lower speeding. A few mi further out she stopped at what appeared to be a theater. `` scan inside are you detecting anyone within ? '' I asked.

'' Beginning CAT scan, no apparent human life though I am detecting a Canis Lupus familiaris. '' Sheila said a bit later

I started to gouge my psyche then it hit me. `` You mean a dog. Can you tell what breed it is ? ''

'' Searching for the human being name. '' Sheila said then was restrained a moment. `` I believe it is called a Rottweiler. We need to get in there though I am sensing that the fauna is guarding the habitation. Shall I dispatch it ? ``

'' No, I do n't want to harm an animal that has been trained to protect. Can you calm it so we can enter ? '' I asked.

'' Searching all data acquired. Yes I think it is possible. '' Sheila opened her sassing but goose egg came out. There was a barking from within then it was quiet down. `` I believe it is good though I will go first. Your protective cover is my first gear priority. ''

There she went on again with that my sprightliness and auspices was her first priority. I needed to get to the bottom of this it was starting to get irritating not knowing.

Approaching the theatre Sheila quickly had the doorway open as she walked in. Cautiously I made my way to the doorway looking in. Sheila was bent beside the dog almost seemingly talking to it.

'' It should be prophylactic for a few hours. I emitted a signal that has calmed this beast 'til such time as we leave. come in and rest for a time. '' Sheila told me.

I nodded moving inside, closing the door. I figured we would have to part in a hurry later so I laid on the couch. `` I have set my internal alarm to the solar phonograph record rising slope. I will wake you Dr. Gance so we can vary for a safer seat. ''

'' Alright Sheila though I suggest you set your sensor to notice any movement of the military machine toward us. '' I told her.

There was a low clicking then she nodded. `` I have done as you suggested Dr. Gance. Now rest your trade protection and health are of the upmost grandness. ''

'' At the former potential clock time we need to have a treatment about these program line you have made Sheila. '' I advised her.

'' Of course Dr. Gance, though I am unsure of your confusedness that I am detecting in your voice. Indeed we do need a discussion to ally your mix-up. I am going into hibernation style as you should also Dr. Gance. '' She said then she shut down.

shaking my header I thought about all her political platform that I had put in her. Could one of them be the reasonableness for the escalated concern for me ? I was n't sure though it was about to push back me dotty I could n't envision it out.

Even as I watched her system of rules went dark and she stopped moving. Shrugging I settled on the lounge and closed my middle. It was half an minute later that I was still awake ineffectual to get the day's events out of my head. Was I so one tracked minded that I had n't noticed what was going on around me ? As I was reviewing all the data I had to admit I was.

Finally a fitful sleep took me as the dreams started. In them I was being laughed at again for the many
incredible ideas I had come up with. Like nearly times in my life I had been put down for having the mentality to actually make a difference. Having decided a few years before that I was n't going to let the doubter stop me this fourth dimension. I knew what I was doing was crucial and I was going to prove it !

I jerked awake having heard something moving. Barely aware at all I watched as what appeared to be one of my image silently came through the door. I had to inquire how in the hell had they found us this quickly ? It was at that moment I realized that the organisation was sober about terminating me as the epitome moved toward me.

The paradigm paused a moment as if trying to distinguish me then it raised an arm. I was drained I thought then what was left of the prototype was falling to the floor cut in half.

'' Come Doctor we need to depart this place before they issue more to terminate you. '' Sheila said as she hoisted me as if I weighed zero onto her shoulder joint and started out of the construction. `` I am afraid that the solar saucer at the core of this solar system is still thirty second away from rising. I will endeavor to keep you secure 'til it is up and I can recharge more. I found an alternating power source in the construction but it did n't allow for nearly as much as I need. I estimate I am still at 40 percent. ''

'' As easily as they found us I think we need to wee-wee a chimneysweep of each other to determine if they are tracking us. '' I advised Sheila.

'' Yes Doctor Gance I concur with your Assumption of Mary. I am running a full moon scan now. '' There was a consequence of silence then she stated. `` I am reading a total of sixty four tracking devices within both of us. almost are contained within myself. I have already started to deactivate them. '' Reaching out toward me with lighting speed Sheila ripped a whorl of hair from my fountainhead. `` I am sorry medico I should deliver warned you, please agree still. '' With that she very quickly cut a shallow dividing line on the back of my hired man removing a small-scale rotary target. `` There, that is the inviolable two ; the other two will take a bit longer. ''

My oral fissure was hanging open then I nodded, it was about their pep pill to have injected tracers within me. `` Are you going to have any trouble with any of the sixty ? '' I asked as Sheila was quiet again.

'' At the present mo I am unsure. I have already deactivated fifty dollar bill of them, though I am afraid they are the impregnable unity. I am attempting to put down the others now. '' Sheila said then was pipe down for a few more minutes.

I looked at my script where the tracking device had been as I shook my mind. The thing was they had injected me without my noesis. A here and now later Sheila looked up then opened her sassing as a small tidy sum of wires and other component part fell out of her. As the pile grew I was beginning to wonder if there was anything left field in her.

'' There Doctor Gance I have removed fifty nine of them. Unfortunately the finish is too close down to my positronic reasoning center to take out without damage. I am afraid that you are the just one who can off it. '' Sheila told me.

'' Were you able to deactivate it ? '' I asked.

'' No, though now it is only approachable at close grasp. I am afraid though that one of the two still within you are. We need to chance a place so I can take out it, also so you can heal. '' Sheila stated.

'' Heal ? '' I said shocked. `` Just where is it located ? ``

'' Not far from your thorn near the conjunction of your mentality. It should n't be too hard I have already been gathering all the information to do it. As I said Doctor Gance your prophylactic is of the upmost importance. '' With that Sheila took off at accelerated amphetamine further away from the base and the city .
