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

As of yet I 'd not happen all that much to compensate though that had been the basic code a few hours ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more promote computer code I was grateful for the added fastness. I do n't mean I 'd own made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few hours I was nearing the control 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 nothing. Shaking my headspring I pushed on feeling my pep pill pick up again even though I still had terminated comprehension.

I did n't know how long I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would allow her to lug a hellhole of a lot of onset that they might try. And I was afraid of the more further cyberpunk programs out there. I felt that she was far more ready 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 to a greater extent detection programs Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the business organization heavy in my vox. `` If they are able to notice us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extremum risk. I have added lots to your protective covering political program though I 'm not certain it is enough. I hope I can add more of the hacker credit programs also. ``

'' Yes doc 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 protection plan. What is your recommendation as to when we should try these upgrades ? I am anxious to be able to meliorate protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not have as practically prison term. I was hoping that I might have you salutary prepared before we tried. If you are that queasy 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 guiltiness escaping into my voice.

'' Really medico Gance, it is a shame that you are lacking the old authority that you had. I will possess to allow you with adequate input to show that your lack is unnecessary. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

'' Adequate foreplay, '' I asked. `` Just how will you do this ? At nowadays there is insufficient data point to bear out this affirmation. '' I told her still going through code hardly looking at her.

'' As I stated Dr. Gance I will have to supply said data to dispel your want of assurance. '' Sheila told me as I could only turn to gaze at her after that statement. Then the foreign matter happened, I had turned away from the screen but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the screen. `` Huh ? What the hell is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the item of obtainable passel. You are able to see the code without using your pot orbs. This is a Major breakthrough physician Gance ! '' Sheila told me.

'' Perhaps, though I do not require to be doing this when I am in sleep cycle. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not want my perceptual experience of speech to alter, therefore do not commute how I communicate with my vocal music speech or the way words I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a articulation deep inside me that seemed to be made up of many voices. [ Confirmation control, nothing effecting all outbound communication with your vocal setup will be modified. ]

respiration a suspiration of backup I swear I saw Sheila grin and giggle a little. I might consume been mistaken though as it occurred in such a short time I was unsure. Grabbing a cable I started to hook up the internet then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard conducting wire you this time. It would make disconnecting you far well-heeled and safer than tuner. '' I told Sheila as I stared to hook her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to aid see if we have a breech in security measure. ``

'' Yes, I understand doc Gance. The exclusively trouble I foresee is you not being able to process the information as fast as I can. The nanomites are just starting to reach obtainable flock. They finally have you at a more suitable position for your work. You are the most splendid scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only stare at Sheila after that statement. There was only a hand good of people on the planet that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was everyday knowledge.

'' Surely there are ... '' I started to say.

'' No Doctor Gance, I have assessed all that have your qualification. I have found all of the few that posses them to be well lacking. No MD Gance, there is no one that even comes close, let alone approaches your level. ``

Again I was shocked at the affirmation that she 'd just make up. Shaking my head I had to take she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her past financial statement had been suspicious.

Sighing, I suddenly had a view. `` You know as soon as they detect us, you are going to take to evacuate the both of us. ``

Sheila turned toward me an almost feel of aggravation on her nerve. `` Yes Doctor Gance, I have all eventuality covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to keep us safe I will need those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really ready to hazard her or all the work I had accomplished in the last workweek. `` I 'd really like to get more of your protective cover finished. '' I told her.

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

turn to the filmdom I saw that indeed I was tenner of one thousand of bank line of code beyond where I was the live time I had looked. Shaking my head 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 programs will allow you. '' Sheila said a little smirk on her face.

Nodding, I threw up my hands as I connected the hard conducting wire to her. I just hoped that I was fast adequate if they decided to try and attack her. `` Alright try not to wreak attending 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 serenity as I watched her progress.

trench within the national computer certificate gist a technical school noticed a blip but paid it no attention. They had been ordered to look on for far more intrusive threats than this. Setting several alarms the tech got up to get a cup of coffee. He 'd just started back a few mo later when several alarum went off within the complex.

'' bullshit ! '' The tech yelled as he ran for his console table his coffee tree forgotten. Checking his blind he started to type several program line each countered far faster than he could enter them. `` What the hell ! '' Grabbing his phone he made a call.

'' Command ! '' An authoritative voice snapped out.

'' Sir ! '' The tech almost shouted. `` We have a point one surety severance ! None of my program line are getting through, their being countered faster than I can get them in. ``

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

The technical school did as he was told, watching the plan start the shut down from several more counters. Nodding his head the tech started a second set watching them start to actually load then they also shut down. shit whoever was doing this was extremely truehearted as they were through almost fifty dollar bill percent of boost computer files. Bringing up a third set the tech smiled as these loaded actually running a few instant then that set also shut down.

'' All three stage set have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct computer programme ? Whoever this is has a lot of speed on their side of meat. '' The tech said toward the telephone now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The vocalization snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few mo it too seemed to stall to the point that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. dogshit ! Whoever this was had their investigation at seventy five percent. Even as he watched the sign lasted a few to a greater extent bit then was suddenly gone ? What the hell ? That seemed like the ancient hardwire connection. How the blaze had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connection is gone sir. It was like a unvoiced conducting wire connection, though at these amphetamine I do n't see how that was possible. '' The technical school advised.

'' I 'm not giving a rat's ass ! I want the position immediately ! '' The vocalism at the early end snapped at the young tech.

'' Running a trace now sir. '' The young tech 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 ''

'' Hurry this up ! We are already mindful of all this ! '' The authoritative vox snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the technical school quickly answered. `` We are getting a further meter reading now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska anchorage 's chief forward-looking computer lab. Should I give notice the school day ? ``

'' No, '' snapped the vocalisation. `` You 've done very well. Go back to your monitoring we 'll contact you if we have further need of you. '' With that the line went dead as the tech breathed a sigh of relief. At least 'til various men came to his console downloading everything that had happened in the close twelve hours.

The director was with them as he patted then tech on the berm. `` Good work, I 'll see you tomorrow. '' Then the director and the others walked away as the technical school sat suddenly airheaded then passed out. More men came out with a stretcher loading the tech up as they took him away.

I watched as Sheila started to download well-nigh of the simple upgrades. Then she was into the more advanced programs, 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, picket for the hacker and erasure programme. '' I told her as I watched her start to climb into far more coordination compound programs.

'' I see them Doctor Gance. First program countered, continuing. I have access to several program that will assist, sec program detected. Now countering, I have copied both Doctor Gance. third base curriculum staring, it is by far the best they have used countering it now. I now am at seventy 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 computer program come online. Shit I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not certainly if you have enough to fight this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the second I am holding it off. I am at LXX nine percent 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 fourscore percent though she was still fighting the syllabus. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty point two percent I saw the course of study onward motion a little.

I was keeping an extremely close eye on what was going on. At eighty decimal point four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be able-bodied to hold it. Reaching out I ripped the hard wire loose even as I saw that the computer program was going to select her in a ten minutes.

'' Damn it ! '' I yelled. `` That was too anathemize close ! I think we need to get the hell out of here. ``

Sheila sat there a few moments then turned her read/write head toward me. `` I concur doctor Gance ; I can feel the trace that they had on the sign. I estimate we have approximately twenty proceedings, thirty three minute before arm the great unwashed appear. ``

I looked at the data block feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder as we departed in to a lesser extent than ten hour teetotum. Then we were moving out of the university at an accelerated focal ratio. The foreign thing is no one even looked our way. What the hell was going on ? Had they not been notified ?

I had tried to speak to Sheila forgetting that I could n't catch one's breath when she was going this fast. Concentrating I asked her, [ I thought that the University would accept sent personnel department after us. When I saw no one I was a bit aghast. ] I told her.

[ As far as I can tell apart there was no alerting put out about us or the use of their computer complex. I also am finding it strange physician Gance. I had sufficient cover for the start of our activities. I do not opine I had enough for our latter though. Do you hold, Doctor Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to maintain local dominance out of this billet. After their past failures they may think you are detecting local authorities military action warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a logical reaction doctor Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also capable of monitoring the armed services signaling also. ] Sheila told me.

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

[ advantage medico Gance, can you excuse this ? ] Sheila asked.

I had to intermit a moment before I could respond. [ The best I can answer is that they are attempting to advance a better per centum of success against us. To gain a condition or circumstance that puts them in a favourable or superior status. ]

Sheila was quiet for a few moment then nodded, [ After further analysis I concur with your speculation. At confront I am integrating all the filing cabinet I received from the war machine system. ]

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

[ Of the first off l percentage, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more superior course of study. These I have already deleted in parliamentary procedure to mix those that are useful. Of the next fifteen percent I am finding a few of those a welcome increase. The last fifteen percent is by far more of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

[ The thing is will they admit you enough of the restraint you need to maintain them from finding and tracking us as easily, ] I asked.

[ Processing now. I should have an answer for you in a curtly time, Doctor Gance, ] came Sheila 's reply.

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

The superior general of the information processing system command was sweating bullet train. No one that he 'd heard of that had entered general Gance 's presence left intact.

The older man spun to glower at the General as he entered the room. `` Well ? ! '' Gance snapped out at the man.

'' Sir ? '' The full general said not sure what Gance wanted.

'' Did you get them or were you like the rest of your worthless command and let them get away ? '' Gance growled at the sweating man.

'' It appears that they left as soon as they detected ... '' The General started.

'' So once again this piss miserable dictation alerted them to the fact that they were detected. I have half a intellect to bust every damn one of you and throw your asses in the concentration camp ! What about the tech ? Do n't tell me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

'' No sir, he is secured in a withdraw room. I hate to turn a loss him though orders say different. '' The general replied.

At these give-and-take Gance smiled, `` so you are n't as big an idiot as I thought. Alright I want all that he has total withdrawal. Oh, shit trusted his family unit is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a vegetable. '' Gance turned around seeing the General still sitting. `` Well ? 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 bod that remained to be seen.

The General kept going making sure he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the sweat from his human face. Shaking a bit he knew he was prosperous, he 'd heard of other general who were busted all the way down and thrown in the stockade. Shaking his pass if he remembered right there were still a few there.

General Gance left the room heading for his transport. The last he 'd heard that tinker's damn auto was heading out again.

'' Lieutenant ! '' The man was yelling as he was stepping out of the building. `` I need a sitrep on them ! ``

'' Sir ! '' The young man said as he saluted then ran to get item on what was going on. A moment later he was running back to the superior general. `` Sir, all story have them exiting the school heading toward the edge of the metropolis. Then it appears that several 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 piddling as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance situation. Get on the horn to the chiefs of staff. We need to change all the computer 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 receiving system he was handed a report card about killjoy group. Shaking he read that they would be available earlier than the full general sentiment. Shaking harder the young man almost forgot what he was doing to hold it to the General.

Shaking his caput he sat as he started to arrive at the calls that the General wanted. Almost an minute later the young man was a lot calmer as he stood to take the report to the general. He 'd barely took two stride when he heard a voice that made him freeze to the spot.

'' So you delicious art object of ass. You 're still helping the old man. practiced as you remember you never helped me with my problems last time. Your cute ass would make a perfect bed warmer in this climate ! Do n't forget my Quaker is still just as anxious to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven hefty drawing card of the killjoy group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the superior general ! '' The young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the heavyweight of a man. The tall man started to laugh a oceanic abyss, rich, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the cosmopolitan 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The young man almost shouted when he entered the full general 's elbow room. `` According to this reputation they were lost at the edge of the city. No further movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The general turned to look at the Cy Young man seeing a looking at of absolute brat on his expression. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner well. Do n't concern son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The young man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to leave the man 's front .
