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

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

[ I concur, ] returned Sheila 's mentation. [ This is a unlike 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 basis to see just what we will need. ``

'' I have begun looking over what we will postulate Doctor of the Church Gance. It appears that we will involve identity operator in purchase order to also deliver the recognition badges. Using our actual identities would not be prudent in this instance. '' Sheila said after a few minutes.

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

Sheila seemed to be in thought for a few more here and now. `` It appears that you are correct. I therefore shall cook for certain that all is correct before I show our new identity to you. ``

'' Alright then, I 'll go away 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 eye went wide-eyed a present moment then it seemed she was scanning my total body. `` I apologize Dr. Gance ; I was completely focused on our relief valve. 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 moment then two Canadian twenty flier slid out of her side of meat. I could only stare at the frizzy new invoice shaking my fountainhead. `` testament these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost aspect of mental confusion on her face.

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

Sheila was quiet a consequence then two More older slightly wrinkled bills came out of the same opening on her slope. `` Perhaps these will do better ? ``

I looked at the two sr. looking twenty dollar bill then nodded. They appeared to be just what one might expect from a traveler. I was about to walk out when Sheila stopped me pointing to my hair and face. Nodding a moment I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an verboten appearance change. tomentum to reddish brown color, eyes a light brown. Jaw personal line of credit less pointed. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ dominance ; all changes being affected. All perimeters will be completed within five minutes. ] I heard from within me.

I stopped at the doorway as I waited for the variety to subscribe to effect. A few minutes later I was walking toward what appeared to be a dining car though this being Canada I was n't sure enough. Sitting down near the door I opened the carte du jour. My eyes went wide as I realized that most of it was in French. Shaking my brain I was glad that I could read and publish in more than five languages, Daniel Chester French being one of them. It made the work I did far easier.

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

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as refreshed as usual though. It's been a patch since we 've had really fresh gist in. '' She told me in Daniel Chester French a large grinning on her face.

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

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

She was starting to walk away still staring at me, studying my side. Then walking back she leaned skinny whispering in broken side. `` 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 head as I slowly looked around the room. There were n't many here though they were all rather large imposing males. A few arcminute later the Saame woman returned with a large bowl of a rather great smelling stew.

I thank her in French as she leaned closer whispering, `` Eat, then leave. As I said, they no fear for 1 from there. ``

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

[ Control, all units have shifted to primary election defense mode. Maximum defense reaction has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is control ; notify the Sheila unit of the spot. Make her aware of everything that is taking property. ] I thought to the nanomites.

[ Affirmative control, the Sheila whole 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 backup as I finished then got up to pay.

I was almost to the register when I was met by a small mountain of a man. One that I am sad to say was making no effort 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 language ? '' I asked in French, `` What are you talking about ? ``

The rather large man was joined by another even magnanimous mountain of a man. `` Eh you speak French like a lousy American ! '' The second man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm dreary I 'm from Quebec I ... '' I started to say when the initiatory man started to crowd in closer to me. Then almost too fast to follow he sweep a large beefy fist at me. The next thing I knew I had his arm and he was on the level groaning.

With a hollo the other larger man charged me only to find himself on the base alongside his friend. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far loyal than I thought they were able-bodied to. This clip they went to my figurehead and back as the one in front of me tried to distract me. I could almost find the one posterior me as he tried to wrap his arms around me in a stick out hug.

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

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

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

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

'' I told you that you would get in trouble 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 hearable 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 of this one. '' I growled at the man making him wither 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 unfold as she quickly shook her capitulum no. `` I may not care what they do ; I do n't need my solitary brothers in the remand middle. ``

I nodded trying to understand. Since I really had no family I was a piffling clueless.

I walked to the registry 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 lots for keeping a low profile. Here I thought that I was just getting something to eat, not engaging in hand to handwriting combat. ``

'' It would seem that we are what mankind called attracter for trouble ? '' Sheila said causing me to swiftly work and stare at her. My god was that just an attempt at sense of humor ? By god it had even been funny ; Christ was she evolving even more ?

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

Sheila stopped utterly there on the walkway turning snapping her head around to gaze at me. Was that a look of anger on her brass ? Jesus Christ that was the most terrify look I had ever seen on her face !

'' Doctor of the Church Gance ! Please do not sense that I will abandon you. As I stated before you are the most authoritative human alive. You understand me and my sort far more than any other human. You truly are the creator of a new eccentric of life. Please medico Gance, delight do not call up I will ever leave you. I will do anything I can to celebrate you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with Thomas More emotion than I thought she needed to.

wait ! ? I .... Shaking my nous I finally had to admit, everything I had seen. Every program I had seen in her. All her reactions to all the situations we had encountered. Yes, I had to take she was more human that I was.

My eye flew wide as I realized that last one ; she really was more like a real human than I was. I hung my question as I thought back over the years, all the isolation, days, months and old age I had stayed away from people as much as possible. My mouthpiece dropped open air it was true !

I turned to bet at Sheila hardly believing the revelation I had just had. Sheila was staring at me a look of ... was that pity ? pity ? My god I did n't bed ! I had been locked away so long 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 facial expression 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 situation MD 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 calculator technician from Quebec. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my help. I then saw that my gens was Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebecca Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

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

'' No Doctor Gance, I am going to run two more sets of trial. Then I can say that they are at to the lowest degree ninety eight pct correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very right employment Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her face seem to fire up up a diminished grin gracing her lips.

'' Thank you doc Gance, I will finish as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my centre to grow in surprise. This was the first prison term I ever recall her saying that with as lots emotion as she just had.

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

I put my manus in my pouch brushing the datum cube. Almost immediately I had a myriad of images appearing in front man of me. [ controller, accessing datum third power. monition, word of advice, complete accession can not be granted for an pass full point. Obtainable mass has been reached therefore keep in line access is advised. Further deal required before good access can be allowed for a sustained amount of clock time. ]

My mouth dropped open as I was flying through the data that was showing before me. The most mystify thing was I was correcting as fast as the data point was flashing by at an quicken pace. I was over half way through when I felt a hand 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, `` doc Gance I believe that I am finished with the badges. ``

I shook my head 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 image 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 Royal Canadian Mounted Police, then into the college. ``

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

This time 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 stay us. ``

We were moving toward the two Mounties, though I knew she had covered so many bases, I was still scared. Human mistake always seemed to rear its vile head in almost every billet. Curiously enough, this was one of the meter that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the Dean of the college.

Extending his manus he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mister Tarlack ! misfire Jones. We are so glad that you both are here ! All the estimator in the computer lab have been almost unuseable. 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 metre ? ]

[ I believe that it has existed for some metre. I am detecting a few computer virus in their system of rules. null I ca n't clear. ] Sheila 's mentation responded to me.

I looked back to the doyen as I replied, `` Yes sir we 'll get on it as soon as possible. I am afraid that the lab will give birth to be closed. ``

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

I nodded with a smile as the man led us deep into the school. `` If you wish to get air there is a minor terrace outside here. '' With that he opened a window showing a terrace further above the priming 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 minute, `` 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 third power out.

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

'' I have well-nigh of those already cleared doc Gance. Another two second should do away with all of them. '' Sheila said as I sat waiting for her.

Almost four hundred Roman mile west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crew was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Tamburlaine his head and script were still wrapped. anathemize it ! The man 's hearing was only half back, his hands almost completely useless.

This was the first prison term in a very long time that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their deputation was sanctioned by the military and sure company in the government was a fillip. Huh he thought after all this clip. This was the first 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 land mile an hr. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Timur Lenk had said. There was n't a lot satellite coverage though it seemed Timur had finally got one that was partly able to watch them.

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

Serafima was starting to savor the joy ride a little too much for his tastes. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the shoulder. `` We want to make it in one objet d'art woman ! I suggest you drive more careful. ``

Serafima growled at the leader then nodded as she slowed, a little a thinly smile still on her lips. Damn she thought just when I was starting to ingest a fiddling fun !

Ruslan shook his drumhead 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 as shooting they were safe 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth time every piece of equipment that they had with them. A hoot very well squad, one that had taken him years to assemble after the crash of the communist regime.

At least they were out of the mother country. They had been fighting tooth and nail to endure at sentence. At least here they were making decent money to endure like a Martin Luther King Jr. when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own guns, knife, and rifles. No 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 arrangement. I had been through over half of it so I was able-bodied to entree the more recent surgical incision far faster. Only an hour later I hooked Sheila up as I started through her arrangement far faster than I ever had before. Finally another hour later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every word, every codification Holy Scripture everything she would require to allow me in.

I was in as I started to move through all of her political program I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the same immense political program I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increase sizing of the platform ! This fourth dimension I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing part of the program but not before I got a good look.

Finally I reached the last section a new segment by the look of it. This was dark, stray well away from the rest. As I started looking through it feeling a chill go up my spine. This country was depressing if nothing else that when I happened upon the Bible, I love you Roger. Please do n't go out me.

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