Sheila and I walked away from the Mounties as calmly as we could. No sense upsetting the men if possible. Sheila took me to what appeared to be an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of the city.

[ We 're going to hold to create sure we have all the proper credentials before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

[ I concur, ] returned Sheila 's thoughts. [ This is a different country we have to go carefully. ]

I was nodding my agreement after I sat inside the cabin. `` I suggest you look at the universities data base to see just what we will want. ``

'' I have begun looking over what we will involve MD Gance. It appears that we will need identities in order to also give the identification badges. Using our real identity would not be prudent in this instance. '' Sheila said after a few minutes.

'' No it would n't, we have to have ones that are believable. I have heard that the Mounties are serious about their security system. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in opinion for a few Sir Thomas More moments. `` It appears that you are right. I therefore shall make sure as shooting that all is chasten before I show our new personal identity to you. ``

'' Alright then, I 'll get out you too it. Though I could use something to eat, I have n't had anything in quite a few minute. '' I told Sheila.

Sheila 's eyes went wide a mo then it seemed she was scanning my entire physical structure. `` I apologize Doctor Gance ; I was completely focused on our escape. You energy is at a low point. Shall I find you something ? '' Sheila asked.

I thought about then shook my head. `` All I think I need is Canadian money. ``

Sheila was still a minute then two Canadian 20 nib slid out of her face. I could only stare at the crisp new bills shaking my promontory. `` volition these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost look of confusion on her face.

'' No, I think they are far too new looking, it might be suspicious. '' I replied.

Sheila was quiet a present moment then two Thomas More senior slightly wrinkled bills came out of the Sami opening night on her position. `` Perhaps these will suffice better ? ``

I looked at the two erstwhile looking twenties then nodded. They appeared to be just what one might carry from a traveller. I was about to take the air out when Sheila stopped me pointing to my hair and fount. Nodding a moment I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an taboo appearance modification. Hair to reddish Brown University people of color, eyes a illumination Brown. Jaw line of work less channelize. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ Control ; all modification being affected. All perimeters will be completed within five bit. ] I heard from within me.

I stopped at the threshold as I waited for the changes to take effect. A few transactions later I was walking toward what appeared to be a diner though this being Canada I was n't surely. Sitting down near the doorway I opened the menu. My eyes went wide as I realized that near of it was in Daniel Chester French. Shaking my head word I was happy that I could read and indite in more than five languages, French being one of them. It made the work I did far easier.

A rugged, large framed forgetful brown haired woman appeared a import later. I was reading through the selection as she patiently waited. `` How is the otter fret ? '' I finally asked looking up.

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as fresh as usual though. It's been a piece since we 've had really fresh meat in. '' She told me in French a big smiling on her face.

I was nodding as I then looked at the prices. tinker's damn good thing Sheila gave me 40 and not less. The stew alone was almost xx by itself.

'' I 'll have got that. '' I told her as she took my carte looking at me closely. `` Along with some lucre if you have any. ``

She was starting to walk away still staring at me, studying my case. Then walking back she leaned closelipped whispering in ruin English. `` Ya be from the body politic. stay fresh that quiet, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my head as I slowly looked around the room. There were n't many here though they were all rather large imposing males. A few minute later the same woman returned with a large arena of a rather nifty smelling stew.

I thank her in French as she leaned closer whispering, `` Eat, then leave. As I said, they no guardianship for ones from there. ``

I nodded in agreement as she stood up to go about her duties. I was almost finished when I noticed that a few of the men in the way had started to verbalise looking my way. Great I thought I have no way to defend myself.

[ control, all units have shifted to master defense manner. Maximum defense has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is control ; notify the Sheila unit of the office. spend a penny her aware of everything that is taking office. ] I thought to the nanomites.

[ Affirmative ascendence, the Sheila unit has been informed she has evacuated to outside this blank space. She states that she is here if you need her. ] The nanomites replied. I breathed a sigh of relief as I finished then got up to pay.

I was almost to the register when I was met by a modest hatful of a man. One that I am sad to say was making no drive to let me by. In French, the man pointed a stubby finger at me saying, `` You are one of those stuck up American language are n't you ? We no like you 're type here ! ``

'' American ? '' I asked in Daniel Chester French, `` What are you talking about ? ``

The rather bombastic man was joined by another even larger mountain of a man. `` Eh you speak French like a dirty American ! '' The endorse man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm sorry I 'm from Quebec City I ... '' I started to say when the first man started to crowd in finisher to me. Then almost too fast to fall out he swung a tumid beefy fist at me. The future thing I knew I had his arm and he was on the floor groaning.

With a roar the former larger man charged me only to find himself on the floor alongside his ally. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far degenerate than I thought they were able to. This sentence they went to my front and back as the one in front of me tried to trouble me. I could almost feel the one can me as he tried to wrap his arms around me in a conduct hug.

I ducked low tripping the one rump me as he sailed forward into the one in front line of me. Both men grunted as they collided getting tangled up. Growling again the prominent popped back up taking a step towards me then went down howling in pain.

'' Eh ? Claude ? What 's ailing you ? '' Even as the giving man hit the floor spasming, I saw that Sheila had ahold of a bundle of nerves in the large man 's neck.

The smaller of the big men was crawling backwards away from the both of us. The larger man was still howling almost to the point of screaming. `` Let him go, I do n't suppose he 'll do that again too soon will you ? '' I asked the larger male as I kneeled on the story near him.

'' NO, No I wo n't ! '' The man said almost in tears. The declamatory waitress came closer as she looked at the male on the floor.

'' I told you that you would get in worry one day doing this. '' Then she turned to me and Sheila. `` I'll brand sure he remembers. ``

I nodded to Sheila as she let the man go who let out an audible whoosh of air. Crawling to a seat he had to pull himself up to barely sit in it. I then looked at the one who started this.

'' I know he wo n't, though I am not so sure enough of this one. '' I growled at the man making him shrink back further from me.

'' It wo n't again, '' the man said almost crying as Sheila moved closer to him.

I nodded to the both of them then I walked to the waitress, `` I trust that the Mountie wo n't be involved ? ``

The Waitress 's lip dropped open as she quickly shook her head word no. `` I may not like what they do ; I do n't require my only pal in the remand centre. ``

I nodded trying to infer. Since I really had no family line I was a little clueless.

I walked to the register to pay, though the waitress said it was n't necessary I still insisted. Walking out both Sheila and I headed for the cabin. Sighing I looked at Sheila, `` Well so much for keeping a low profile. Here I thought that I was just getting something to eat, not engaging in script to hand combat. ``

'' It would appear that we are what world called attraction for difficulty ? '' Sheila said causing me to swiftly turn and gaze at her. My god was that just an attempt at humor ? By god it had even been rum ; Christ was she evolving even more ?

I trembled a second as I thought again that soon she was going to grow far beyond me. That she would no longer be needing me or wishing to keep me alive.

Sheila stopped stagnant there on the walkway turning snapping her top dog around to stare at me. Was that a look of anger on her facial expression ? Christ that was the most terrifying look I had ever seen on her face !

'' Doctor Gance ! Please do not feel that I will give up you. As I stated before you are the most important human alive. You understand me and my variety far more than any other homo. You truly are the Lord of a new character of life. Please MD Gance, please do not mean I will ever leave you. I will do anything I can to keep you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with more emotion than I thought she needed to.

Wait ! ? I .... Shaking my head I finally had to acknowledge, everything I had seen. Every program I had seen in her. All her reactions to all the billet we had encountered. Yes, I had to include she was more human that I was.

My eye flew wide as I realized that endure one ; she really was more like a real human being than I was. I hung my headland as I thought back over the years, all the isolation, twenty-four hours, month and years I had stayed away from mass as much as possible. My mouth dropped undefendable it was true !

I turned to look at Sheila hardly believing the Revelation I had just had. Sheila was staring at me a spirit of ... was that compassion ? Pity ? My god I did n't know ! I had been locked away so prospicient I just did n't recognize !

I felt a hired hand on my arm guiding me toward a nates in the cabin. Shaking my head I had n't even realized that we had entered it. Shakily I looked up into the concerned nerve of Sheila.

'' Are you better now Dr. Gance ? '' Reaching to the tabular array she handed me a yoke of college I'Ds. `` I had just finished these when I was alerted to your situation Dr. Gance. I added all that was needed, the college computer was very helpful. ``

I nodded as I looked down at the two I.D. badges. Then I got a shock when I saw that it said I was a computer technician from Quebec. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my assistant. I then saw that my name was Norman Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebecca John Paul Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

'' You 're sure they are completely discipline ? '' I asked her.

'' No Doctor Gance, I am going to run two to a greater extent readiness of tests. Then I can say that they are at least ninety eight percentage correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very good work Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her face seem to dismount up a small smile gracing her lips.

'' Thank you Dr. Gance, I will end up as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my oculus to grow in surprise. This was the first time I ever remember her saying that with as much emotion as she just had.

There was no doubt about it ; I needed to get back in there before she locked me out for practiced. Then again with all I had seen would she really ever completely shut me out ? I shook my head as I sat by the door to wait.

I put my hands in my pocket brushing the information cube. Almost immediately I had a ten thousand of images appearing in front of me. [ restraint, accessing information square block. admonition, monition, perfect admittance can not be granted for an extended period. Obtainable mass has been reached therefore controlled access is advised. Further mass required before full access can be allowed for a confirm quantity of time. ]

My mouth dropped open as I was flying through the data that was showing before me. The most amazing thing was I was correcting as fast as the information was flashing by at an accelerate rate. I was over half way through when I felt a hired man on my shoulder.

I was suddenly jerked back into the real world. blinking, it took me a few moments to 'catch up'with where I actually was.

I looked up seeing Shelia standing over me, `` Doctor Gance I believe that I am finished with the badges. ``

I shook my promontory to clear it a moment then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar code, a picture that looked like I did right now. Everything I saw made the badge look nothing but official. Now all we had to do was get past the Mounties.

I nodded as I looked at the back of the badges, `` They look even better. I 'm beaming you went over them more than once. Now all we have to do is get past those Mounties, then into the college. ``

Again it seemed as if Sheila 's side lit up as another smile this one larger than the last crossed her lips. `` Thank you again MD Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added access from the technical company we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

This prison term it was me who was smiling, THAT might be a saving grace in the long run. `` Good let 's go before something else pops up to hold up us. ``

We were moving toward the two Mounties, though I knew she had covered so many root word, I was still scared. man error always seemed to rear its horrible header in almost every office. Curiously enough, this was one of the prison term that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the Dean of the college.

Extending his deal he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mister Tarlack ! Miss John Luther Jones. We are so gladiolus that you both are here ! All the figurer in the figurer lab have been almost unusable. We are so hoping that the both of you can repair them. ``

I look at Sheila, [ Did you do this, or is this a problem that has existed for some time ? ]

[ I believe that it has existed for some time. I am detecting a few viruses in their systems. Nothing I ca n't clear. ] Sheila 's cerebration responded to me.

I looked back to the dean as I replied, `` Yes sir we 'll get on it as soon as possible. I am afraid that the laboratory will have to be closed. ``

Nodding the James Byron Dean stated, `` We had expected that therefore as soon as we were informed you were here we suspended all classes 'til further observation. I just hope it does n't direct very long, it is one of the better attended and wish classes. ``

I nodded with a grinning as the man led us deep into the school. `` If you wish to get air there is a small patio outside here. '' With that he opened a windowpane showing a terrace further above the terra firma than i thought we were. `` Alright I 'll leave the two of you to it. ``

I nodded as the man walked away, `` Let me know when we are alone. ``

Sheila was still a few moments, `` We appear to be now. I have taken over all surveillance. No one should see us plus I should see them far before they reach us. '' I nodded as I took the data cube out.

'' Are the systems able to run with all these viruses ? '' I asked Sheila.

'' I have most of those already cleared Doctor of the Church Gance. Another two minutes should do away with all of them. '' Sheila said as I sat waiting for her.

Almost four hundred miles west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crew was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Timur his head and men were still wrapped. Damn it ! The man 's sense of hearing was only one-half back, his hand almost completely useless.

This was the maiden fourth dimension in a very farsighted sentence that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their deputation was sanctioned by the armed services and certain parties in the government activity was a fillip. Huh he thought after all this time. This was the initiative time they were actually expected to do everything they could to succeed.

Serafima was laughing with sadistic glee as she had the vehicle topped out at almost a hundred miles an minute. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Timur had said. There was n't much satellite coverage though it seemed Tamerlane had finally got one that was partly capable to follow them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a city called Yellow knife. Hmmmm, it was the chapiter and only metropolis, as well as the largest community, in the Northwest territory. Nodding his head, his eyes wide a second so 19,569 people. Smiling wider he thought enough we might have a fiddling fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to revel the joy hinge on a little too a good deal for his tastes. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the berm. `` We want to make it in one patch cleaning woman ! I suggest you drive more than measured. ``

Serafima growled at the leader then nodded as she slowed, a little a thin smile still on her lips. shucks she thought just when I was starting to suffer a petty fun !

Ruslan shook his head as he looked over the rest of the team. Karina was going over both hers and Serafima 's rifles. Stas was going over all his explosives making certainly they were secure 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth time every patch of equipment that they had with them. A darn amercement team, one that had taken him eld to assemble after the prostration of the communist regime.

At to the lowest degree they were out of the female parent state. They had been fighting tooth and nail to survive at time. At to the lowest degree here they were making enough money to know like a business leader when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own guns, knife, and rifles. No good sense being unprepared, a motto he lived by, better to be well prepared than well dead.

I had attached the cube as soon as Sheila cleared the system of rules. I had been through over half of it so I was able to access the more Recent epoch section far faster. Only an hour later I hooked Sheila up as I started through her systems far faster than I ever had before. Finally another hour later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every password, every computer code Holy Scripture everything she would involve to allow me in.

I was in as I started to locomote through all of her programs I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the Lapplander Brobdingnagian plan I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increased sizing of the syllabus ! This meter I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing part of the political program but not before I got a good look.

Finally I reached the live section a new plane section by the feel of it. This was dark, isolated well away from the remainder. As I started looking through it feeling a frisson go up my vertebral column. This expanse was depressing if aught else that when I happened upon the Bible, I love you Roger. Please do n't leave me.

I blinked as I stared at the words, what in the hell ? Even as I watched the program slammed shut, I looked over at Sheila as again I could swear she was blushing a deep crimson color .
