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

As of yet I 'd not found all that much to chasten though that had been the basic code a few hours ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more advanced code I was grateful for the sum f number. I do n't cogitate I 'd have made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few hours I was nearing the command that had shut me out. I had to find 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 unadulterated comprehension.

I did n't know how foresighted I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would appropriate her to block a hell of a lot of attacks that they might try. And I was afraid of the more advanced hacker programs out there. I felt that she was far more fix 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 catching programs Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the concern heavy in my phonation. `` If they are able to detect us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extreme point danger. I have added much to your protection syllabus though I 'm not for certain it is enough. I hope I can add more of the drudge credit curriculum also. ``

'' Yes Doctor Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speed another ten percent. Though as you said I am only detecting a five percent increase in my security program. What is your good word as to when we should try these upgrades ? I am uneasy to be able to better protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not throw as practically sentence. I was hoping that I might have you in effect 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 guilty conscience escaping into my voice.

'' Really Doctor Gance, it is a shame that you are lacking the previous confidence that you had. I will have to furnish you with adequate stimulus to show that your lack is unnecessary. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

'' Adequate stimulus, '' I asked. `` Just how will you do this ? At present there is deficient data point to corroborate this financial statement. '' I told her still going through codification hardly looking at her.

'' As I stated doctor Gance I will experience to supply said data to turn back your deficiency of authority. '' Sheila told me as I could only plow to stare at her after that statement. Then the strangest thing happened, I had turned away from the screen but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the silver screen. `` Huh ? What the Inferno is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the point of obtainable mass. You are able-bodied to see the codification without using your sight orbs. This is a John Roy Major breakthrough Doctor Gance ! '' Sheila told me.

'' Perhaps, though I do not want to be doing this when I am in eternal rest round. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not want my perception of actor's line to deepen, therefore do not transfer how I communicate with my outspoken speech or the way give-and-take I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a voice deep inside me that seemed to be made up of many vocalisation. [ confirmation dominance, nothing effecting all outward communicating with your vocal setup will be modified. ]

external respiration a sigh of relief I swear I saw Sheila grin and giggle a little. I might have been mistaken though as it occurred in such a short time I was uncertain. Grabbing a cable's length I started to hook up the net then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard telegram you this time. It would make disconnecting you far well-fixed and good than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to hook her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to facilitate square off if we have a breech in security measures. ``

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

I could only stare at Sheila after that statement. There was only a hand full of masses 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 qualifications. 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 approaches your spirit level. ``

Again I was shocked at the statement that she 'd just build. Shaking my foreland I had to accept she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her yesteryear command had been suspicious.

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

Sheila turned toward me an almost look of exasperation on her fount. `` Yes MD Gance, I have all contingence covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to keep us safer I will ask those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really ready to risk her or all the employment I had accomplished in the stopping point calendar week. `` I 'd really like to get Thomas More of your protection finished. '' I told her.

Sheila smiled as she pointed to the sieve. `` I 'm sure that you will find that you are almost finished with what you were working on medico Gance. ``

Turning to the screen I saw that indeed I was tens of M of line of computer code beyond where I was the final meter 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 political program will allow you. '' Sheila said a picayune 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 assault her. `` Alright try not to bring aid to yourself 'til you have no choice. '' I told her.

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

Deep within the national figurer security snapper a tech noticed a blip but paid it no attention. They had been ordered to watch for far more intrusive menace than this. Setting several alarms the tech got up to get a cup of java. He 'd just started back a few second later when respective alarm clock went off within the complex.

'' Shit ! '' The tech yelled as he ran for his console his coffee forgotten. Checking his screen door he started to typecast several statement each countered far faster than he could enter them. `` What the Inferno ! '' Grabbing his phone he made a call.

'' control ! '' An authoritative vox snapped out.

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

'' WHAT ! ? '' The voice shouted as even more alarm clock went off then the complex was locked down. `` Bring up all the buster course of study ! ``

The tech did as he was told, watching the program start the shut down from several Sir Thomas More counters. Nodding his head the tech started a second set watching them start to actually lade then they also shut down. shit whoever was doing this was extremely fast as they were through almost l pct of advanced computer data file. Bringing up a third set the technical school smiled as these loaded actually running a few bit then that set also shut down.

'' All three sets have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct curriculum ? Whoever this is has a lot of speed on their side. '' The tech said toward the phone now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The phonation snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few mo it too seemed to dilly-dally to the point that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. hoot ! Whoever this was had their probe at LXX five percent. Even as he watched the signal lasted a few more minute of arc then was suddenly gone ? What the Hell ? That seemed like the antediluvian hardwire connection. How the hell had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connection is gone sir. It was like a hard wire association, though at these speeds 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 voice at the early end snapped at the young tech.

'' Running a trace now sir. '' The young technical school 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 ''

'' rushing this up ! We are already aware of all this ! '' The definitive voice 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 main further computer 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 line of business went abruptly as the technical school breathed a sigh of alleviation. At least 'til several men came to his soothe downloading everything that had happened in the end twelve hours.

The director was with them as he patted then technical school on the articulatio humeri. `` effective study, I 'll see you tomorrow. '' Then the director and the others walked away as the tech sat suddenly dizzy then passed out. Thomas More men came out with a copestone loading the tech up as they took him away.

I watched as Sheila started to download nearly of the simple upgrades. Then she was into the more advanced program, though she was working her way through them as if they were zip. She was at half when I saw that they were starting to respond on the other end.

'' Damn it ! They 've detected you Sheila, scout for the hacker and erasure computer program. '' I told her as I watched her start to climb into far more composite programs.

'' I see them Doctor Gance. First syllabus countered, continuing. I have access to several computer program that will help, second programme detected. Now countering, I have copied both Doctor Gance. third gear programme staring, it is by far the estimable they have used countering it now. I now am at 70 five percent. '' Sheila was telling me as I was watching everything that she was telling me.

I was about to congratulate her when I saw a completely different program come online. prick I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not sure if you have enough to fight this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the bit I am holding it off. I am at seventy nine percentage 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 reach 80 percent though she was still fighting the program. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty spot two percent I saw the program progress a little.

I was keeping an extremely close eye on what was going on. At 80 point four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be capable to arrest it. Reaching out I ripped the hard 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 infernal secretive ! I think we need to get the sin out of here. ``

Sheila sat there a few here and now then turned her head toward me. `` I concur Dr. Gance ; I can feel the trace that they had on the signal. I estimate we have approximately 20 minutes, thirty three seconds before gird people appear. ``

I looked at the datum regular hexahedron feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder as we departed in less than ten minutes top side. Then we were moving out of the university at an quicken speed. The strange thing is no one even looked our way. What the pit was going on ? Had they not been notified ?

I had tried to speak to Sheila forgetting that I could n't breathe 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 scandalize. ] I told her.

[ As far as I can differentiate there was no alert put out about us or the use of their computer complex. I also am finding it unusual Doctor Gance. I had sufficient cover for the scratch of our activities. I do not think 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 go on local regime out of this situation. After their past failures they may intend you are detecting local anaesthetic government agency actions warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a logical reception Doctor Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also capable of monitoring the armed forces signals also. ] Sheila told me.

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

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

I had to pause a moment before I could answer. [ The sound I can answer is that they are attempting to gain ground a well part of achiever against us. To gain a condition or circumstance that puts them in a favorable or superior position. ]

Sheila was quiet for a few bit then nodded, [ After further depth psychology I concur with your hypothesis. At present I am integrating all the files I received from the military system of rules. ]

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

[ Of the first gear fifty dollar bill percentage, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more victor programs. These I have already deleted in order to integrate those that are utile. Of the succeeding xv percent I am finding a few of those a welcome addition. The endure fifteen per centum is by far more of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

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

[ Processing now. I should make an solution for you in a unforesightful time, Dr. Gance, ] came Sheila 's reply.

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

The superior general of the reckoner command was sweating bullets. No one that he 'd get a line of that had entered universal Gance 's presence left intact.

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

'' Sir ? '' The General said not sure 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 superior general started.

'' So once again this piss pitiable command alerted them to the fact that they were detected. I have half a mind to bust every tinker's damn one of you and throw your derriere in the stockade ! What about the tech ? Do n't narrate me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

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

At these words Gance smiled, `` so you are n't as big an retard as I thought. Alright I want all that he has total secession. Oh, make sure his family is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a veg. '' Gance turned around seeing the General still sitting. `` fountainhead ? Get your ass on it man ! ``

'' Yes sir ! '' The General said as he stood saluted then ran from the room.

Gance sighed at least there were still a few good men left in command. Then again as he watched the retreating full general 's form that remained to be seen.

The full general kept going making certainly he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the elbow grease from his expression. Shaking a bit he knew he was lucky, he 'd heard of early Generals who were busted all the way down and thrown in the stockade. Shaking his brain if he remembered right there were still a few there.

General Gance left the room heading for his shipping. The final stage he 'd heard that damn auto 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 vernal man said as he saluted then ran to get particular 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 city. 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 slight as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance position. Get on the automobile horn to the head of staff. We need to alter all the code on all that we still have control of. '' The previous 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 about wet blanket mathematical group. Shaking he read that they would be available sooner than the superior general thinking. Shaking harder the Pres Young man almost forgot what he was doing to take it to the General.

Shaking his head he sat as he started to make the claim that the superior general wanted. Almost an hour later the untested man was a lot calmer as he stood to take the written report to the General. He 'd barely took two footprint when he heard a voice that made him freeze to the spot.

'' So you scrumptious man of ass. You 're still helping the old man. upright as you remember you never helped me with my problems last time. Your cute ass would score a pure bed heater in this clime ! Do n't forget my booster is still just as nervous to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the Whitney Moore Young Jr. man saw the six seven powerful leader of the party pooper group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the full general ! '' The young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the hulk of a man. The marvelous man started to laugh a inscrutable, rich, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the general 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The Cy Young man almost shouted when he entered the General 's room. `` According to this report they were lost at the edge of the metropolis. No farther movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The general turned to expect at the Thomas Young man seeing a look of absolute terror on his face. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner soundly. Do n't interest son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The Whitney Moore Young Jr. man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to entrust the man 's mien .
