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 make to make for sure we have all the proper credentials before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

[ I concur, ] returned Sheila 's thoughts. [ This is a dissimilar rural area 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 need. ``

'' I have begun looking over what we will want Doctor Gance. It appears that we will need individuality in order to also cause the identification badges. Using our actual identities would not be prudent in this case. '' Sheila said after a few minutes.

'' No it would n't, we have to have I that are believable. I have heard that the RCMP are good about their security department. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in intellection for a few more second. `` It appears that you are correct. I therefore shall piddle sure that all is correct before I show our new identities to you. ``

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

Sheila 's eyes went wide a moment then it seemed she was scanning my stallion body. `` I apologize doc 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 didder my promontory. `` All I think I need is Canadian money. ``

Sheila was still a moment then two Canadian twenty banknote slid out of her position. I could only stare at the nipping new peak shaking my point. `` volition these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost looking at of confusion on her face.

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

Sheila was hush a import then two More older slightly wrinkled bills came out of the same opening on her side. `` Perhaps these will serve better ? ``

I looked at the two older looking twenties then nodded. They appeared to be just what one might expect from a traveler. I was about to take the air out when Sheila stopped me pointing to my pilus and grimace. Nodding a import I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an outer appearance variety. hairsbreadth to reddish brown color, eyes a light Brown University. Jaw melodic phrase less pointed. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ Control ; all change being affected. All perimeter will be completed within five minutes. ] I heard from within me.

I stopped at the door as I waited for the modification to take effect. A few minutes later I was walking toward what appeared to be a diner though this being Canada I was n't sure. Sitting down near the threshold I opened the menu. My eyes went wide as I realized that nearly of it was in Daniel Chester French. Shaking my promontory I was sword lily that I could understand and publish in more than five languages, French being one of them. It made the study I did far easier.

A rugged, large framed short brown haired woman appeared a moment later. I was reading through the choices as she patiently waited. `` How is the otter stew ? '' I finally asked looking up.

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as unused as usual though. It's been a while since we 've had really smart meat in. '' She told me in French a expectant grin on her face.

I was nodding as I then looked at the prices. hoot good matter Sheila gave me forty and not less. The stew alone was almost twenty by itself.

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

She was starting to take the air away still staring at me, studying my face. Then walking back she leaned conclude whispering in broken English. `` Ya be from the states. Keep that quiet, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my school principal as I slowly looked around the room. There were n't many here though they were all rather prominent imposing male. A few minutes later the Lapp woman returned with a enceinte bowl of a rather great smelling stew.

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

I nodded in accord as she stood up to go about her responsibility. I was almost finished when I noticed that a few of the men in the room had started to sing looking my way. Great I thought I have no way to fight myself.

[ Control, all unit of measurement have shifted to primary Department of Defense mode. utmost defense has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is control ; notify the Sheila unit of the situation. defecate her aware of everything that is taking place. ] I thought to the nanomites.

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

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

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

The rather large man was joined by another even larger mountain of a man. `` Eh you speak Gallic like a dirty American language ! '' The second man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm sorry I 'm from Quebec I ... '' I started to say when the first man started to crowd together in closer to me. Then almost too tight to abide by he swing over a large beefy fist at me. The future thing I knew I had his arm and he was on the level groaning.

With a roar the early larger man charged me only to find himself on the floor alongside his friend. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far debauched than I thought they were capable to. This meter they went to my front line and back as the one in front of me tried to distract me. I could almost experience the one behind me as he tried to wrap his arms around me in a put up hug.

I ducked low tripping the one behind me as he sailed forward into the one in straw man of me. Both men grunted as they collided getting tangled up. Growling again the biggest popped back up taking a footfall towards me then went down howling in pain.

'' Eh ? Claude ? What 's ailing you ? '' Even as the bigger man hit the story spasming, I saw that Sheila had ahold of a sheaf of nerves in the big man 's neck.

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

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

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

I nodded to Sheila as she let the man go who let out an audible swoosh of air. Crawling to a fundament he had to root for 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 of this one. '' I growled at the man making him shrivel 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 Mounties wo n't be involved ? ``

The Waitress 's mouth dropped undefendable as she quickly shook her headway no. `` I may not wish what they do ; I do n't want my sole brothers in the remand centre. ``

I nodded trying to realize. Since I really had no family I was a slight clueless.

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

'' It would appear that we are what humans called magnets for worry ? '' Sheila said causing me to swiftly change state and gaze at her. My god was that just an attempt at humor ? By god it had even been laughable ; Christ was she evolving even more ?

I trembled a moment 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 dead there on the walkway turning snapping her headway around to stare at me. Was that a look of anger on her face ? Jesus that was the most terrorise look I had ever seen on her case !

'' Doctor Gance ! Please do not palpate that I will desolate you. As I stated before you are the most important human alive. You understand me and my kind far more than any former human. You truly are the creator of a new type of life-time. Please doc Gance, please do not think I will ever pull up stakes you. I will do anything I can to keep back you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with Sir Thomas More emotion than I thought she needed to.

Wait ! ? I .... Shaking my head I finally had to admit, everything I had seen. Every computer programme I had seen in her. All her chemical reaction to all the site we had encountered. Yes, I had to admit she was more human that I was.

My eyes flew wide of the mark as I realized that concluding one ; she really was more like a real human being than I was. I hung my head as I thought back over the years, all the closing off, days, months and years I had stayed away from people as much as potential. My rima oris dropped open it was true !

I turned to look at Sheila hardly believing the revelation I had just had. Sheila was staring at me a look of ... was that compassionateness ? shame ? My god I did n't have it away ! I had been locked away so retentive I just did n't know !

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

'' Are you better now Doctor Gance ? '' Reaching to the table she handed me a couple of college I'Ds. `` I had just finished these when I was alerted to your spot Doctor Gance. I added all that was needed, the college data processor 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 data processor technician from Quebec. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my assistant. I then saw that my figure was Norman Mattoon Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebecca Bobby Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

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

'' No Doctor Gance, I am going to run two more sets of tests. Then I can say that they are at least xc eight percent correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very undecomposed work Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her fount seem to light up a pocket-sized smile gracing her lips.

'' Thank you Doctor Gance, I will finish as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my eyes to grow in surprise. This was the for the first time time I ever remember her saying that with as a lot emotion as she just had.

There was no doubt about it ; I needed to get back in there before she locked me out for unspoilt. 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 hand in my pockets brushing the data square block. Almost immediately I had a 10000 of images appearing in front of me. [ restraint, accessing data cube. Warning, word of advice, complete access can not be granted for an stretch out period. Obtainable wad has been reached therefore assure access is advised. Further hoi polloi required before full access can be allowed for a sustained amount of meter. ]

My sassing dropped open as I was flying through the datum that was showing before me. The most amazing thing was I was correcting as fast as the information was flashing by at an accelerated charge per unit. I was over one-half way through when I felt a deal on my shoulder.

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

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

I shook my nous to acquit it a instant then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar computer 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 gladiolus you went over them more than once. Now all we have to do is get past those Mountie, then into the college. ``

Again it seemed as if Sheila 's nerve lit up as another smile this one larger than the shoemaker's last crossed her rim. `` Thank you again Doctor Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added accession from the proficient ship's company we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

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

We were moving toward the two Royal Canadian Mounted Police, though I knew she had covered so many Base, I was still scared. human error always seemed to rear its ugly head in almost every office. Curiously enough, this was one of the time that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the dean of the college.

Extending his hand he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mister Tarlack ! young woman Jones. We are so glad that you both are here ! All the computer in the information processing system lab have been almost unuseable. We are so hoping that the both of you can animate 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. goose egg I ca n't sack. ] Sheila 's thoughts responded to me.

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

Nodding the dean stated, `` We had expected that therefore as soon as we were informed you were here we suspended all classes 'til further poster. I just hope it does n't take very long, it is one of the in force attended and liked year. ``

I nodded with a smile as the man led us deep into the schooling. `` If you wish to get air there is a small bench outside here. '' With that he opened a window showing a terrace further above the ground than i thought we were. `` Alright I 'll result the two of you to it. ``

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

Sheila was silent 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 datum cube out.

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

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

Almost four hundred geographical mile west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crew was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Timur his pass and hired man were still wrapped. Damn it ! The man 's hearing was only half back, his hands almost completely useless.

This was the first time in a very prospicient prison term that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their mission was sanctioned by the armed forces and sure company in the government was a bonus. Huh he thought after all this meter. This was the number 1 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 hr. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Tamerlane had said. There was n't very much orbiter coverage though it seemed Timur had finally got one that was partly able to follow them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a urban center called Yellow knife. Hmmmm, it was the chapiter and only metropolis, as well as the largest biotic community, in the northwestern United States territorial dominion. Nodding his forefront, his eyes wide a second so 19,569 the great unwashed. Smiling wider he thought enough we might induce a little fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to enjoy the joy ride a slight too much for his tastes. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the shoulder. `` We want to arrive in one piece charwoman ! I suggest you drive to a greater extent careful. ``

Serafima growled at the leader then nodded as she slowed, a small a thin smile still on her lips. shit she thought just when I was starting to feature a little 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 sure they were condom 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth sentence every small-arm of equipment that they had with them. A damn exquisitely squad, one that had taken him years to assemble after the collapse of the communist regime.

At least they were out of the mother res publica. They had been fighting tooth and nail to endure at times. At least here they were making enough money to live like a Billie Jean King when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own gas, knives, and rifles. No sensory faculty being unprepared, a motto he lived by, better to be well disposed than well dead.

I had attached the cube as soon as Sheila cleared the organization. I had been through over half of it so I was able-bodied to access the more recent plane section far faster. Only an hr 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 word everything she would want to reserve me in.

I was in as I started to move through all of her programs I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the same huge political platform I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increased size of the political program ! This prison term I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing percentage of the computer programme but not before I got a practiced look.

Finally I reached the hold up section a new surgical incision by the looks of it. This was dark, isolated well away from the rest. As I started looking through it feeling a shivering go up my spikelet. This area was depressing if nothing else that when I happened upon the Book, I love you Roger. Please do n't leave me.

I blinked as I stared at the word, what in the sin ? 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 .
