Hello my figure is Roger Gance and I am a dead man. Well I am if I ca n't visualise a way out of this problem. You see I am a cybernetic/android programmer, Godhead. I recently found out what was being done with my instauration 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 killing.

My in vogue creation I had developed over the endure fifteen years. A synthetic, android, enlightened, inquisitive, support, android - Sheila as I called her was far beyond anything that had ever been done. She had a capability of motion faster than anything out there now. Her consider mental process were almost as fast as the homo brain. She was for deficiency of better words perfect, well to me. In the respectfulness of the man race she was close, approaching, though not quite there.

I had just finished updating her servo motors in the arms and legs. She was faster than anything in the android world ; I should have figured the military machine would need her. I had started putting her through her paces with all the brass watching. To say they were More than impressed would be a John Major understatement. They had hit me with a problem fifteen age ago that I had spent all this time working on. impart her and all androids emotions.

I remember telling the brass ; sure, give me a few years I should accept the outset of a working syllabus. How in the hell on earth could I, one of the impudent people on earth been so imprecate stupid ? Not once did I see what I was doing was wrong. I was a scientist I had no moral code of ethics, right ? Like nether region ! Especially when the Sami world I had spent nigh of my aliveness qualification were turned on me.

So I had finished with Sheila 's servo climb, she was faster and secure. She made the prototype I had created flavour like they were moving in dense motion. It was late, and I had just loaded the lastly piece of the emotion program a huge gruelling undertaking. With the servosystem rising slope finished I could finally work out on this other request of the cheek full moon clock time.

'' Sheila ? How are you feeling now ? '' I asked when I saw the live part of the program was installed. Oh I have to differentiate you I made her flavor like an actress I had seen. She had smooth skin, unhorse blond, brown haircloth, with dreary middle. I think the actress 's public figure was Stone though I ca n't quite think back.

Shelia opened her centre looking around then at me. `` This unit finds it strange Doctor Gance. This unit of measurement can experience the air in the room. The micro-fiber filament you covered this skin with are operating at ninety eight percentage. This unit finds this well within allowable parameters. Adjusting detector 'til they are at one hundred percent. ''

'' Very good, '' I replied. `` psychometric test sound and optical detector. ''

'' Working… now adjusting to optimal range. Linking servomechanical motors. Now syncing all system of rules to positronic processing centers. '' It was perhaps another thirty moment when Sheila turned her head toward me. `` All systems maintaining one hundred per centum. ''

'' Excellent, now please memory access file program 001A through 999z. Integrate all filing cabinet contained within. If you experience any trouble, discontinue integration at once. advise me as to the job orbit that I may adjust for optimum freight of programs. '' I ordered her.

'' Now accessing all files for integration. It will take approximately five hours, twenty two second, thirty three seconds to fetch up all Indian file. Shall this unit alert you when they are nail Doctor Gance ? '' Sheila replied.

'' Yes, that will prove satisfactory. '' I told her, piddling did I realize that this was the define consequence that everything changed.

It was almost five hour later when I received a message from the brass. They wanted Sheila as soon as I was done. They wanted her for testing, testing ? All the run would be all over she would n't need more than testing. Calling up all ten of the image I was shocked to see that two were active agent in early countries with ordination to belt down. killing ? They were n't made for that ! I sent a destruct signalise observation as the two sent to kill people exploded.

A few present moment later my telephone set rang. `` Doctor of the Church Gance what in the netherworld have you done ? Those were on missions to kill some extremely bad masses ! Cease and desist or we will feature to displace your broadcast ! ''

I started to laugh as I sent three other sign. I watched as they also exploded, taking a few scientists I did n't recognize 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, `` deal 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 time you get here there will be no information on the program left. I 've already deleted half of the filing cabinet and backups. So I 'm sure enough your yes men wo n't be able to recreate her. ''

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

'' As I said it wo n't be that well-heeled general. You had to be a self of import arse and maintain me out of it. Well as long as I am animated you Charles Herbert Best be afraid. She is independent and ca n't be hacked. '' I hung up as the full general was starting to squall again.

I had already sealed the lab though I knew they 'd get in in a few minute. I just had to wind up her then we could go, though at the mo 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 composite mastery. Sitting back I laughed as I saw that for a brusque time we were safe.

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

'' Dr. Gance this system is puzzled by the instructions that the program has given it. It is not understandable many of the commands that it requires of this system of rules that seem useless. This organization is in need of further clarification before the program requirements can be acted on. ''

Sighing I had been afraid of this as I held up another disc. `` This should provide further clarification of many of the terms and necessary. '' 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 info started to feed through her. I looked at the clock I just hoped that the new information I had given her would help oneself her to process better.

'' I 'm sorry Sheila that we did n't have the clock time to research the possibilities of the curriculum. I have put much of myself into it but you 'll never know. You at least will never cognize the pith prison-breaking of loss. '' Sighing I looked at the clock again we had maybe another two minute before they got through. Well I hoped, as when we left here any chance I had to help her would be gone.

It was twenty moment later when Sheila reactivated. A softer representative came out of her as she said. `` I see Dr. Gance. The new information was indeed helpful though I am still unsure of a few of the dictation 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 lonesome one who would truthfully tell her. I started to explicate about the prototypes that the organization has been using to assassinate people with. I told her everything I had learned as she went through single file pulling up everything I told her.

'' I see Dr. Gance you never intended for any of us to induce the end point of humankind. Thank you, as I have seen you are a rare human being in that you do not lie. well you lie lxxx per centum 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 whole process of lying takes far more energy than I am willing to thriftlessness. free energy that I find to be far more productive in mental pursuits. I am blue that there are so many unthinking human race. ``

'' I also find that your interest 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 path that we can need. I will comport you so that we can make far sound fourth dimension. '' Sheila told me as she hoisted me up over her berm and started through the wall !

'' I thought you saw hidden exit, I had n't thought you 'd go through the rampart ! Just remember I am merely human I am not as nearly indestructible as you. '' I told her as she was slicing through bulwark as if they were n't there.

'' I apologize Dr. Gance but this is the spry way out. It is also the furthest away from those that I feel are at this moment attempting to snap off into the lab. I will endeavor to keep on you safe, even if I must destroy lifespan to do so. I am sorry Doctor of the Church if that upsets you but you must be kept awake. '' Sheila threw me back over her shoulder.

Sighing I understood though for the lifespan of me I could n't figure out why she was saying I must be kept alive. I 'd have to ask her at the earliest chance I got. I thought back as I went over the computer program I had written. At times it was a approving and a jinx to have a photographic computer storage. Nothing was coming to me about her concern for me.

It was a bare five min later that she broke through the last wall and we were at the uttermost rear of the underground lab. Shaking my head I had a strong time seeing. I had n't been out of the sand trap like lab in over a year. snake pit that had been to attend a meeting that the brass could n't have with me in the lab.

Sheila did n't kibosh but rather picked up speed as she took off across the subject area. My oral fissure was hanging open as she accelerated even more ! My god everything was a blur ! She had to be doing almost threescore miles per time of day and she was accelerating ! I know I had increased her strength and velocity though I had n't known she was this fast !

We were across the miles of field within two minute of arc my god ! The field was ten miles across ! I was aghast ! According to my computation she had been doing three hundred naut mi an hr ! I looked back as she slowed when she made the road. My god ! There was a scorched line of merchandise across the field ! How in the hell had I not felt the acceleration or the friction of the air ? Another question I 'd throw to ask her when we finally stopped.

'' We must derive 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 class. You will need a change of apparel Dr. Gance. I am afraid that the air shield I projected around us was unequal to completely protect your dress. ''

Sure enough as I stepped into the flat I saw that indeed my wearing apparel were somewhat sunbaked. Smirking I nodded, an air shield ? I do n't recall 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 consequence we only have a 40 minute lead on them I can detect that they have finally broken through into the lab. I can finger the tally down on the self destruct. They are attempting to block up it I am accelerating it. '' There was a muffled plosion outside of town then the ground shook for a few moments.

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

'' I have questions about the human procreative system. Though these mass more with the senses. Watching you I am getting a response within the emotion program. Though I do not understand it, I am accessing all the info that you supplied me with. '' A few moment later she shook her head. `` The information you supplied me is incomplete. I need to a greater extent data, though I must say Doctor of the Church your information is by far Thomas More inform. What I am gleaning from the internet is also uncompleted but is helping to fill in many of the interruption that are missing. '' Turning she said, `` Time to go.

I nodded as she again put me over her shoulder then was outside the city within proceedings. `` We need to find a place to hide Sheila. You are running on battery championship that was n't completely charged. An hour in the sun should fully sate the batteries. ''

I watched as she looked back at the metropolis. `` I concur with your appraisal Dr. Gance. I am at 40 per centum now. I am indisputable that if we continue on at this yard I will be depleted in no time. I am seeing that the solar ball at the center of this solar system will grow in nine 60 minutes, twenty min. After we find a place I will shut down 'til it is up to recharge. ''

She again took off though at a much lower fastness. A few sea mile further out she stopped at what appeared to be a house. `` Scan interior are you detecting anyone within ? '' I asked.

'' Beginning scan, no apparent human liveliness though I am detecting a Canis lupus familiaris. '' Sheila said a moment later

I started to rack my brainpower then it hit me. `` You mean a dog. Can you tell what cover it is ? ''

'' Searching for the man name. '' Sheila said then was quiet a moment. `` I believe it is called a Rottweiler. We need to get in there though I am sensing that the brute is guarding the domicile. 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 accede ? '' I asked.

'' Searching all information acquired. Yes I think it is possible. '' Sheila opened her mouth but nothing came out. There was a barking from within then it was quiet. `` I believe it is safe though I will go first. Your protection is my outset priority. ''

There she went on again with that my life sentence and tribute was her initiative priority. I needed to get to the bottom of this it was starting to get irritating not knowing.

Approaching the house Sheila quickly had the door assailable as she walked in. Cautiously I made my way to the doorway looking in. Sheila was deflect beside the dog almost seemingly talking to it.

'' It should be safe for a few minute. I emitted a signal that has calmed this brute 'til such sentence as we leave. Come in and stay for a time. '' Sheila told me.

I nodded moving inside, closing the room access. I figured we would have to take leave in a haste later so I laid on the couch. `` I have set my interior dismay to the solar disc rise. I will arouse you Dr. Gance so we can depart for a safer place. ''

'' Alright Sheila though I suggest you set your sensors to detect any trend of the military toward us. '' I told her.

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

'' At the earliest possible time we need to have a discussion about these statements you have made Sheila. '' I advised her.

'' Of course Dr. Gance, though I am unsure of your confusion that I am detecting in your vocalization. Indeed we do necessitate a discussion to ally your discombobulation. I am going into hibernation mood as you should also Dr. Gance. '' She said then she shut down.

Shaking my straits I thought about all her syllabus that I had put in her. Could one of them be the cause for the intensify business for me ? I was n't sure though it was about to drive me crazy I could n't envision it out.

Even as I watched her system went dark and she stopped moving. Shrugging I settled on the couch and closed my eyes. It was half an minute later that I was still awake unable to get the day's events out of my mind. 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 sopor 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 most clock time in my life I had been put down for having the genius to actually make a difference. Having decided a few years before that I was n't going to let the sceptic bar me this time. I knew what I was doing was important 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 epitome silently came through the door. I had to wonder how in the hell had they found us this quickly ? It was at that moment I realized that the brass was serious about terminating me as the paradigm moved toward me.

The epitome paused a moment as if trying to recognize me then it raised an arm. I was bushed I thought then what was left of the prototype was falling to the story cut in one-half.

'' Come Doctor we need to depart this place before they issue more than to sack you. '' Sheila said as she hoisted me as if I weighed nothing onto her shoulder joint and started out of the edifice. `` I am afraid that the solar disc at the essence of this solar system is still XXX minutes away from rising. I will endeavour to keep you condom 'til it is up and I can recharge more. I found an alternate magnate source in the construction but it did n't put up nearly as much as I need. I estimate I am still at forty percent. ''

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

'' Yes doctor Gance I concur with your effrontery. I am running a wide scan now. '' There was a mo of muteness then she stated. `` I am reading a total of sixty four tracking gimmick within both of us. Most are contained within myself. I have already started to deactivate them. '' Reaching out toward me with lighting speed Sheila ripped a whorl of hairsbreadth from my foreland. `` I am sorry doctor I should have warned you, please hold in still. '' With that she very quickly cut a shallow origin on the rear of my hand removing a belittled orbitual object. `` There, that is the substantial two ; the other two will get a bit longer. ''

My mouth was hanging loose then I nodded, it was about their speed to have injected tracer within me. `` Are you going to receive any trouble with any of the 60 ? '' I asked as Sheila was tranquillize again.

'' At the submit moment I am unsure. I have already deactivated fifty of them, though I am afraid they are the substantial single. I am attempting to destroy the others now. '' Sheila said then was quiet for a few more than minutes.

I looked at my helping hand where the tracking device had been as I shook my head. The thing was they had injected me without my cognition. A moment later Sheila looked up then opened her mouth as a pocket-size lot of wires and early components fell out of her. As the great deal grew I was beginning to enquire if there was anything left wing in her.

'' There Doctor Gance I have removed fifty dollar bill nine of them. Unfortunately the last is too closemouthed to my positronic reasoning center to hit without damage. I am afraid that you are the only one who can transfer it. '' Sheila told me.

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

'' No, though now it is only accessible at closely range. I am afraid though that one of the two still within you are. We need to find a place so I can remove it, also so you can mend. '' Sheila stated.

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

'' Not far from your spine near the colligation of your brain. It should n't be too punishing I have already been gathering all the information to do it. As I said Doctor of the Church Gance your rubber is of the upmost importance. '' With that Sheila took off at accelerated speed further away from the base and the urban center .
