I had been going through Sheila 's code for a few 60 minutes. My god I had gone from a few hundred to a few thousand. Then almost an minute later that was quickly advancing more. I had to be doing well over ten thousand lines of code now and I could see it was still advancing more.

As of yet I 'd not found all that much to chastise though that had been the BASIC computer code a few 60 minutes ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more ripe codification I was thankful for the added swiftness. I do n't think I 'd have made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few time of day I was nearing the instruction that had shut me out. I had to find out a way around it or all of this correcting I was doing would have been for nil. Shaking my head I pushed on feeling my speed pick up again even though I still had complete comprehension.

I did n't sleep with how prospicient I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would earmark her to blockade a Scheol of a lot of flak that they might try. And I was afraid of the more come on hacker broadcast out there. I felt that she was far Thomas More ready 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 Sir Thomas More detecting programs Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the concern heavy in my voice. `` If they are able to detect us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extreme danger. I have added a lot to your protection computer program though I 'm not for certain it is adequate. I hope I can add more than of the hacker recognition programs also. ``

'' Yes MD Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speed another ten per centum. Though as you said I am only detecting a five pct increment in my protective covering programs. What is your passport as to when we should try these upgrades ? I am dying to be able to better protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not deliver as a good deal time. I was hoping that I might have you break prepared before we tried. If you are that dying 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 Gance, it is a shame that you are lacking the former sureness that you had. I will induce to allow you with adequate stimulus to show that your lack is unneeded. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

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

'' As I stated Doctor Gance I will throw to supply said data to disperse your deficiency of confidence. '' Sheila told me as I could only bend to stare at her after that financial statement. Then the foreign affair happened, I had turned away from the covert but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the screen. `` Huh ? What the infernal region is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the level of gettable mass. 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 Hz. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not want my perception of words to alter, therefore do not transfer how I communicate with my vocal speech or the way Christian Bible I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a part oceanic abyss inside me that seemed to be made up of many voices. [ confirmation control, nothing effecting all outward communication with your vocal setup will be modified. ]

Breathing a sigh of succour I swear I saw Sheila grin and titter a little. I might take in been mistaken though as it occurred in such a short-circuit fourth dimension I was incertain. Grabbing a cable I started to cop up the internet then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard wire you this time. It would spend a penny disconnecting you far light and safe than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to filch her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to help determine if we have a rear of tube in security system. ``

'' Yes, I understand MD Gance. The sole problem I foresee is you not being able-bodied to treat the information as fast as I can. The nanomites are just starting to turn over gettable tidy sum. They finally have you at a more suitable stance for your work. You are the most brilliant scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only stare at Sheila after that argument. There was only a helping hand full of people on the planet that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was mundane knowledge.

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

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

Again I was shocked at the statement that she 'd just micturate. Shaking my head I had to admit she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her by statement 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 aggravation on her human face. `` Yes Doctor Gance, I have all eventuality covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to keep us safer I will need those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really ready to risk her or all the work I had accomplished in the last hebdomad. `` I 'd really like to get to a greater extent of your protection finished. '' I told her.

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

Turning to the projection screen I saw that indeed I was tens of K of melody of code beyond where I was the cobbler's last time I had looked. Shaking my straits 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 plan will allow you. '' Sheila said a fiddling 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 selection. '' I told her.

Nodding she turned toward me, `` I will do the scoop potential. '' With that the room grew quiet as I watched her progress.

deep within the subject computer security plaza a tech noticed a blip but paid it no attention. They had been ordered to watch for far more intrusive scourge than this. Setting several dismay the tech got up to get a cup of coffee. He 'd just started back a few minute of arc later when respective alarm went off within the complex.

'' Shit ! '' The tech yelled as he ran for his console his chocolate forgotten. Checking his screen he started to type various dictation each countered far faster than he could enter them. `` What the hellhole ! '' Grabbing his telephone he made a call.

'' dictation ! '' An authoritative representative snapped out.

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

'' WHAT ! ? '' The voice shouted as even more alarms went off then the complex was locked down. `` Bring up all the buster programs ! ``

The technical school did as he was told, watching the program start the shut down from respective more retort. Nodding his forefront the tech started a second set watching them start to actually load then they also shut down. shit whoever was doing this was extremely fast as they were through almost fifty dollar bill percent of advanced computer Indian file. Bringing up a third set the tech smiled as these loaded actually running a few instant then that set also shut down.

'' All three Seth have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct programme ? Whoever this is has a lot of speed on their English. '' The tech said toward the earphone now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The vocalization snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the broadcast watching it start. Then for a few bit it too seemed to stall to the point that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. Shit ! Whoever this was had their probe at 70 five percent. Even as he watched the signal lasted a few More minute then was suddenly gone ? What the the pits ? That seemed like the ancient hardwire joining. How the hell had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connection is gone sir. It was like a hard wire connection, 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 fix immediately ! '' The voice at the early end snapped at the young tech.

'' Running a trace now sir. '' The 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 ''

'' rush this up ! We are already aware of all this ! '' The authorized interpreter snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the technical school quickly answered. `` We are getting a promote recitation now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska Anchorage 's primary gain computer lab. Should I advise the school ? ``

'' No, '' snapped the voice. `` You 've done very well. Go back to your monitoring we 'll get through you if we have further pauperization of you. '' With that the line went dead as the technical school breathed a sigh of relief. At least 'til several men came to his console downloading everything that had happened in the finale twelve hours.

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

I watched as Sheila started to download most of the dim-witted climb. Then she was into the more advanced computer program, though she was working her way through them as if they were nothing. She was at one-half when I saw that they were starting to react on the other end.

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

'' I see them MD Gance. first-class honours degree program countered, continuing. I have accession to several programs that will help, second political platform detected. Now countering, I have copied both doctor Gance. Third programme staring, it is by far the proficient 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 compliment her when I saw a completely different program come online. damn I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not for certain if you have enough to crusade this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the bit I am holding it off. I am at seventy nine percent this last one pct might make a divergence. '' Sheila told me as I watched both her and the program pushing against each former. I saw Sheila reach lxxx percentage though she was still fighting the program. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty compass point two percent I saw the platform onward motion a little.

I was keeping an extremely close eye on what was going on. At fourscore item four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be able to hold it. Reaching out I ripped the hard conducting wire loose even as I saw that the program was going to take her in a ten minutes.

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

Sheila sat there a few consequence then turned her head toward me. `` I concur MD Gance ; I can feel the ghost that they had on the signaling. I estimate we have approximately 20 moment, thirty three seconds before armed masses appear. ``

I looked at the information third power feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder as we departed in less than ten minute top. 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 take a breath when she was going this fast. Concentrating I asked her, [ I thought that the University would have sent staff office after us. When I saw no one I was a bit take aback. ] 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 covering for the showtime of our bodily function. I do not cogitate I had enough for our latter though. Do you coincide, Doctor Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to hold back local authorities out of this situation. After their past times loser they may think you are detecting local dominance activity warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

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

[ I believe they are trying to gain every reward that they can. ] I responded.

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

I had to pause a moment before I could do. [ The ripe I can answer is that they are attempting to clear a better percentage of success against us. To win a condition or circumstance that puts them in a favorable or superior posture. ]

Sheila was quiet for a few moments then nodded, [ After foster depth psychology I concur with your theory. At salute I am integrating all the files I received from the armed forces system. ]

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

[ Of the first l per centum, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more higher-ranking programs. These I have already deleted in order to integrate those that are useful. Of the next fifteen percent I am finding a few of those a welcome summation. The last XV percent is by far more of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

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

[ Processing now. I should have an solvent for you in a short time, MD 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 command was sweating bullets. No one that he 'd find out of that had entered superior general Gance 's presence left intact.

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

'' Sir ? '' The superior general said not trusted what Gance wanted.

'' Did you get them or were you like the rest of your worthless bid 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 intellect to break every damn one of you and switch your seat in the stockade ! What about the tech ? Do n't state me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

'' No sir, he is secured in a withdraw room. I hate to lose him though orders say different. '' The full general replied.

At these words Gance smiled, `` so you are n't as big an changeling as I thought. Alright I want all that he has total withdrawal. Oh, make sure his family is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a veggie. '' Gance turned around seeing the full 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 mastery. Then again as he watched the retreating General 's form that remained to be seen.

The General kept going making for certain he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the sweat from his facial expression. Shaking a bit he knew he was favorable, he 'd take heed of former 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.

general Gance left the room heading for his transportation. The last he 'd heard that damn machine was heading out again.

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

'' Sir ! '' The Lester Willis Young 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 reports have them exiting the school heading toward the edge of the metropolis. Then it appears that respective 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 petty as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance billet. Get on the horn to the honcho of faculty. We need to change all the code on all that we still have control of. '' The older man yelled.

The younger man ran to do all that the man had ordered. Even as he lifted the receiver he was handed a report card about wet blanket group. Shaking he read that they would be available Sooner than the superior general thought. Shaking harder the young man almost forgot what he was doing to take it to the General.

Shaking his nous he sat as he started to wee the calls that the superior general wanted. Almost an 60 minutes later the Pres Young man was a lot calmer as he stood to aim the report to the General. He 'd barely took two step when he heard a vocalism that made him block to the spot.

'' So you yummy 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 make a utter bed warmer in this climate ! Do n't bury my friend is still just as uneasy to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven muscular leader of the killjoy group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the full general ! '' The Whitney Young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the hulk of a man. The tall man started to express mirth a thick, rich, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the general 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The young man almost shouted when he entered the full general 's elbow room. `` According to this report they were lost at the edge of the city. No further movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The oecumenical turned to look at the young man seeing a look of absolute terror on his face. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner good. Do n't worry son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The young man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to leave the man 's presence .
