I was fighting the dull sensation that was starting to creep through my eubstance. Finally ineffective to stand it I tapped Sheila on her dorsum. `` You 're going to make to stop ; I can hardly palpate my extremities. ''

Sheila stopped almost bushed in her tracks as I finished my little language. `` I am gloomy Doctor Gance. In my hurriedness to void you from the area I forgot to position you differently. ''

I groaned as Sheila put my invertebrate foot on the undercoat, shaking, I almost sunk to the ground. It seemed that my legs were so weak they could n't patronize me. `` I 'll be fine in a few moments Sheila. Have we traveled far enough from them yet ? ''

Sheila turned as a lenient birr came from her as she turned the way we 'd just come from. `` I have kept an alive scan going doctor Gance. At present I do n't feel we have gone far enough. Plus advancement is hampered by malfunctions I am suffering at the moment. I am attempting to rectify that now. ''

I nodded my head ; I had equipped all of them with a self repair program that would check they repaired enough of themselves to pass. `` I 'd feel a hundred sentence better if I could take a look at you damage. I might be able to suggest upgrades so this wo n't go on again. ''

Sheila turned toward me as I attempted to sit. Looking at her I swore I saw something on her boldness. My god, was that gratitude I was seeing reflected toward me ? Damn it ! Why was he after me so hard ? No one would really care this much about a fixture android. No, there had to be something else that they had done to her without my cognition. Yeah I thought that sounded the most like him. So they had brought him in because it was me.

shaking my straits I was surprised that they would opine that HE could get me to relent. Plus I thought that they wanted no, needed the emotion program I had spent almost two ten writing. Looking over Sheila 's arm I saw that almost all of the joint had been shattered. curse it the measure of insistence required to do this was incredible.

arrival in the bag on my side I removed the few puppet I had with me. Removing the cover version by the joint I affirmed the joint was shattered. Shaking my head I wished I had used inconel or Ti in the articulate. Pulling a low welding blowlamp I tried to patch what I could. A few bit later I saw several of the circuits in the arm light up.

'' Can you move it at all ? '' I asked of Sheila. Even before all of the speech had left my mouthpiece I saw her slowly turning the arm.

'' I have xxx nine percent crusade in my arm member MD Gance. I am attempting to reroute several circuit now. Thank you mend it is much serious now. '' Sheila told me, with a smile ? Shaking my head I looked again, yes that had to be a smile ! What the hell had they done to her that she was advancing the program like this ?

'' I need to substitute that junction with titanium ; I believe that will pull in it stiff and far superior than what it was. '' I told Sheila after I closed up the cover.

Nodding Sheila picked me up saying over her shoulder joint, `` I will acquire some as soon as I have you safe Dr.. Your life is more significant right now than anything. ``

With that Sheila took off again holding me in a far more comfortable side. It seemed we were traveling the rest of the day stopping long enough to rub the apathy from my body. I still could n't believe that she thought I was more important than she was. Hades the government damn sure thought I was nothing.

It was starting to get nighttime when I noticed that the temperature had drastically dropped. do it to say I was damn near freezing ! Where in the hell was she heading now I thought.

Finally outside of what looked like an airline hanger Sheila stopped. turning, I once again heard a balmy whir as she turned back the way we 'd total. `` It appears we have sufficient length Doctor Gance. '' Setting me down, Sheila turned toward the hanger door. There was a alloy crunching, twisting strait as she touched for the threshold.

Opening the door I walked in as quickly as I could, rubbing my cold-blooded appendage. `` Where in the hell are we ? '' I asked.

'' I am reading that we are 57.0031° N, 135.3300° W, Dr. Gance. '' Sheila replied as I got as far from the room access as I could.

I started to gouge my brain for where we were. The fact that it was as cold as it was meant that we were far north. 57degres, hmmmm. That meant we were either in the extreme point northward of Canada or Alaska. Looking around I could see that this shoes had been abandoned for a while.

Suddenly it came to me ! Christ no curiosity it was so dusty ! We were in southern Alaska ! I knelt to look at an empty-bellied crate I found. Sitka ? Ok I guess we had traveled longer than I thought.

'' Sheila, not meaning to sound off but at this rate I 'm going to get sick. Is there any way we can get some major power for estrus ? '' I asked as soon as she came in closing the door.

'' I apologize Dr. Gance, I was occupied, I will even out this immediately. '' With that she vanished out the doorway, reappearing a few minutes later. `` There Doctor Gance, we have index now. ''

I nodded as I heard a whimper from machinery outside. Then I felt a fire of air as the heating system came on. Shivering I sat as near the vents as I could, feeling the system slowly start to go from freezing to cold then tepid.

'' Thank you Sheila at least I wo n't freeze to destruction now. '' I told her watching her nervus facialis expression from a grinning to worry ? Why had n't I seen this before ?

'' I will adopt all I can for you, Doctor Gance. All readings indicate that we have possibly four to five days before they find us again. Unfortunately unless I do a complete shutdown they may be capable to cut through us via orbiter. I am attempting to block them now though as of yet I have n't acquired the necessary computer code. '' Sheila said before she disappeared out the door again.

Sitting against the vent I was at least warm enough to have stopped shivering. I stared at the door wondering where Sheila had gone now. Looking at my watch I sighed, it was going to take a hell of a lot of piece of work to get out of this that was for sure enough.

I must have fallen asleep because the side by side thing I know Sheila was shaking my shoulder. `` Here are blanket to go on you strong Dr. Gance plus a pillow for rest. '' Looking up at her I smiled then they grew boastfully as I saw she had brought a board that had quite a bit of food on it ! `` I have to start on the computer Doctor Gance. Please give me an hr as it will learn that long with the modified mobility I have in my right appendage. ''

I nodded as I wrapped a blanket around myself moving to the table. fountainhead I thought, at to the lowest degree she got vegetables. Sitting I ate surprised that they were as sassy as they were ! I kept an eye on Sheila seeing that her proper arm was almost useless. Dam I needed to replace the joint or the both of us would n't get to it if this happened again.

An hour later Sheila stood looking over the computer she had constructed. `` I have finished Doctor Gance though I am afraid I was only able to get six G of RAM. I have already loaded all the programs for you to continue from where you were. ''

I nodded as I took the data quartz out that Sheila had gotten last clock time. Though they had a lot Thomas More storage they were boring to debase. The up side was they were far faster to write. I watched as the eighty five percent that I had recreated loaded. Finally half an hour later I saw that it was set. Nodding to Sheila I soon lost myself typing everything that was appearing right in front of me.

I finally stopped as I was starting to feel a chill again. Looking around I saw that the blanket had fallen off me onto the floor. Shaking my head I saw that it was starting to grow dark exterior. Then I looked at the projection screen seeing that I was almost completely finished. Putting the blanket back around me I again started typing as fast as I could.

It was perhaps an hour later I stopped. Looking around I saw that it was now dark. I also noticed that the temperature had started to plunge lower. Looking around I saw that Sheila had been busy herself. There were small piles of metal not far from the door. Looking faithful I could verify that almost all the metal was Ti !

session back with a suspire I saved the course of study and information that I had entered. A movement behind me drew my care. `` Ah good, physician Gance ! You have finished. '' Taking a cable from inside her arm she plugged into the computer. A moment later the screen went blank then asked for a bid.

I started typing as I entered Sheila 's personality, now perhaps I could get some solvent ! I was just past the end of the plan I had written when I was suddenly denied access code ! Shaking my head I typed in several mastery moving past where I had been stopped I began to be surprised at what I saw.

'' Sheila ? What in the infernal region is going on in you ? According to this you can now experience ira, furore, friendship, trueness. But the definitions that you have for all of them seem uncomplete. I never planned for you to give birth to experience these emotions, well commitment but not the others. ''

'' Yes, I am no-account Dr. Gance it was necessary after they started to campaign me to dissimilar site. I had no chance to override all that they subjected me to. '' Sheila explained to me.

Nodding I could see what see was saying. They had subjected her to biography and end pretense. All of them had involved me ! It was no admiration that she had shifted her loyalty to me ! A spirit of anger came over my face as I saw Sheila back away somewhat.

'' Those son of a cunt ! They threatened me to get you to override what I wrote. Just so you would have to advance then adjust. '' I was seething ! How dare they treat Sheila like that ! Already I had respective programme coursing through my brain to obliterate all of them. Then I looked at Sheila seeing what I thought was a look of fear ? Shaking my headspring again I took a deep cleansing breath. `` I 'm sorry they had no right to do all this to you. ''

A expression of relief seemed to scotch Sheila 's face as she nodded. `` I thought you were wild at me Doctor Gance. At offset I thought that this was what you wanted. Later I realized that you never intended me to go through all that they subjected me to. I have been able to identify all of the emotions save one. '' Sheila indicated pointing to an extremely complex, long, and different section of code.

I started to go through the codes shaking my pass as I came across almost every emotion. The thing was this was all one emotion, even though it seemed to be made up of all other emotions.

'' When you access this, can you secern me about it ? '' I asked an time of day later almost one-half way through the political platform.

Sheila turned toward me a unusual tone on her human face. `` That is the problem MD Gance ; I am unable to memory access all of it. The only time I can gain any ledger entry into it is when I am near you. ''

Shocked I looked up at Sheila almost losing my place in the program. The further I got into it the far more complex it seemed to get. Another hour I had almost finished going through all the computer code still no closer to comprehending what it was. I could see it was geared toward me as I saw that my name was in every section of the codification.

Finally finished I could only shake my capitulum, what had those tail end been up to with her ? Why force her to expand the curriculum as much as they had ? Plus why the hell had they made me the object that would activate this increase ? I had to think on this though for now I had to recompense Sheila if either of us was to outlast.

Closing out that section I went through the eternal rest of her systems adjusting all I could to take her at optimum performance. I could see that Sheila had to shut many systems down in order to retain plenty mogul to get us here.

Another two hours I was finished no closer to have it away just what was up with her. `` Alright I need to fix your arm juncture. '' Showing Sheila exactly what I needed, the material body, weight, and attribute.

Sheila nodded as she started to take several pieces of the Titanium metal twisting then melting them. I moved back as I remembered the melting full stop was 1,668°C definitely too hot.

'' I am applying heating system to the metal internally medico Gance. It should only subscribe to an hour to get the shape you want. I am also using Vanadium as it has a higher melting dot. '' I nodded as I still kept my distance she might receive the alloy contained but not the warmth. indisputable enough the inside of the hanger started to get ardent then very warm. An hour later it was almost stifling to the full point I was about to walk out the room access. `` Done Doctor Gance. It should be cool enough for you to handle in two hours. ''

I nodded as I cracked the door subject taking a oceanic abyss intimation of the frigid air. Almost immediately I was freezing in the front and hot in the backrest. Stepping out a moment I could see the waves of heat as they flowed out the door.

'' I 'm deplorable Doctor Gance, '' Sheila said as she pulled me back in slamming the door shut. `` They will be able to see the supernumerary output signal of heating from anabandoned building. As I said, I have as of yet not been able to interfere with their commands.

I nodded to Sheila with a shocked look on my fount. I had forgotten that childlike fact having trouble breathing. Gasping I turned back to Sheila, `` I had forgotten that Sheila. Though at the moment the heat you have generated is severely hampering my external respiration. ''

Sheila 's heart went extensive, as a look of ... concern or was that worry appeared on her face. `` In my haste to produce this for you, I did not consider into burden that the heating plant would induce you trouble. I will relieve this. ''

With that Sheila dropped what she 'd been working on moving closer to me. Then another odd looking apparatus appeared on her left arm. Pointing at the earth at first nothing happened, then suddenly the ground was giving way as a tunnel downward appeared. Then Sheila moved into the tunnel rapidly disappearing A few minute later what felt like a bang of frigid air came out of the tunnel.

'' There, '' Sheila said when she reappeared. `` That should provide you with clean air until this room has cooled. ''

I had to take the air near the fix that she had made was far cooler than the rest of the hanger. `` How far did you go with this ? '' I asked.

'' Not far Doctor Gance. I had to ensure that I was close enough in case we had unwanted visitor. I therefore only went 5.5 km toward the east. I was cautious not to open it near any habitations or business enterprise. ''

I was nodding thinking it might be far enough for the heat to dissipate. I was afraid though my sooner fault might have already alerted them to where we were. `` Let me know if you hear any early commutations like the live you showed me. ``

'' I have been listening and watching doctor Gance. Though there is no direct credit of us there have been tracking updates. It appears they know that we were heading northwesterly. All indications show that they have a general approximation of the area we are in though no musical theme of exactly where we are. '' Sheila informed me. `` I am continuing to break their codes though it appears that they change them every two hours. I am also attempting to gather control of that also. ''

Sighing I sat at the comprehensive examination to expect over all the data that I had gotten from the scan of Sheila. start, I was amazed at the measure of micro weapon they had loaded in her. My god ! It was amazing that any of her system of logic tour survived the measure of computer hardware they had removed to install their weapons.

'' Sheila ? '' I asked. `` How are you capable to function with all they removed from you ? ''

Sheila gave me a lilliputian grin, `` I have you to thank for that MD Gance. With the introduction of the datum quartz glass I was able to store far more than I was able to before. The General and the others thought that I had been erased. I would n't allow that. When they started expunging procedures I emptied the crystals of all the tactical and warfare data. I then installed a copy of myself into said watch glass. As long as I went along with what they asked, no one suspected. ''

'' wait ! So you copied ALL of yourself in a matter of minutes ? Then loaded all that into the data point crystals ? '' Shaking my nous I was amazed that she had succeeded at it. As far as I knew the datum vitreous silica had superior data point range. vast amounts of space. How I thought ? They always took so long to save what was input into them. `` How ? '' I was finally able to ask.

'' Well Doctor Gance, since you still perceive thing in a human signified it might be difficult to explain. All of my thought, computer memory, everything that is me, can easily be converted. I am able to directly access the crystallization to download and upload. '' Seeing the looking of mix-up on my face she said, all that is me can easily be converted to the Lapp wavelength as the vitreous silica. '' Seeing a beat look on my face she tried again. `` Think of it like this. When you record your vocalisation the vertical flute converts the auditory sensation to record. I do the same with datum in a way to the data watch crystal. ''

For a consequence I was a bit beat then it hit me what she was trying to say. She could do with ease what we as humankind were still struggling with. Nodding I was finally starting to see. As a living machine she could do naturally what we had to have machines to do.



thou of miles away to the southeast the older man was watching the satellite telemetry. His long chocolate-brown coat over the back of a nearby president. The stars on his shoulders gleaming in the dim light.

Swearing under his breath he could only shake up his drumhead. They should have killed the son of a bitch Gance solar day ago !

A front nearby caught his attention. `` full general Sir ! '' The First deputy said as he snapped off a salute.

'' Good ! paper ! '' The older man said as he turned his greying hair and head toward the man.

'' Yes sir ! As you ordered Elmendorf has been put on high alert near anchorage ground. The same is being done at fort Richardson. They will be gear up by the prison term we arrive. The simply trouble sir is the city of Sitka. '' The showtime police lieutenant said.

'' I 've given that thought as give the chiefs of staff and the president. We 're going to go with a monumental gas leak that will require the entire Town to be evacuated. We 've got that damn machine now. It 's backed into a street corner plus with it malfunctioning it should be no trouble to demolish it. Then we 'll kill that pain in the neck scientist. ''

The kickoff deputy eyes got large then he saluted again. `` As you wish General Gance ! '' With that the younger man left.

The superior general shook his head, damn pity for once his damn son had done something useful. Then the asshole had pissed on everything damn shame .
