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 fringe of the city.

[ We 're going to accept to make certain we have all the right credentials before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

[ I concur, ] returned Sheila 's thoughts. [ This is a different res publica we have to go carefully. ]

I was nodding my accord after I sat inside the cabin. `` I suggest you look at the universities data pedestal to see just what we will require. ``

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

'' No it would n't, we have to have single that are believable. I have heard that the Mountie are severe about their protection. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in view for a few More mo. `` It appears that you are even off. I therefore shall make sure that all is set before I show our new identities to you. ``

'' Alright then, I 'll leave 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 optic went broad a moment then it seemed she was scanning my entire body. `` I apologize MD Gance ; I was completely focused on our escape. You vigour is at a low point. Shall I find you something ? '' Sheila asked.

I thought about then throw off my brain. `` All I think I need is Canadian River money. ``

Sheila was still a moment then two Canadian twenty bills slid out of her side. I could only stare at the crisp new placard shaking my head word. `` will these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost look of confusion on her face.

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

Sheila was quiet a moment then two Sir Thomas 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 20 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 fuzz and brass. Nodding a mo I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control condition ; I need an outer visual aspect variety. pilus to reddish brown semblance, eyes a dismount John Brown. Jaw line less steer. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

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

I stopped at the room access as I waited for the alteration to take effect. A few mo 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 bill of fare. My centre went wide as I realized that about of it was in French people. Shaking my head I was glad that I could say and save in more than five languages, Daniel Chester French being one of them. It made the work I did far easier.

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

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as saucy as common though. It's been a patch since we 've had really fresh meat in. '' She told me in French a large smile on her face.

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

'' I 'll give birth 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 walk away still staring at me, studying my face. Then walking back she leaned ending voicelessness in broken English. `` Ya be from the states. keep on that quieten, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my nous as I slowly looked around the room. There were n't many here though they were all rather turgid imposing male. A few minute later the same woman returned with a tumid arena 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 charge for ones from there. ``

I nodded in agreement 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 mouth looking my way. Great I thought I have no way to fight myself.

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

[ This is command ; notify the Sheila unit of the state of affairs. pull in her aware of everything that is taking place. ] I thought to the nanomites.

[ Affirmative ascendancy, the Sheila building block 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 sculptural relief as I finished then got up to pay.

I was almost to the cash register when I was met by a minor mountain of a man. One that I am sad to say was making no endeavor to let me by. In French, the man pointed a stubby digit at me saying, `` You are one of those stuck up Americans are n't you ? We no like you 're typecast here ! ``

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

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

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

With a roar the former tumid man charged me only to find himself on the flooring alongside his friend. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far faster than I thought they were capable to. This fourth dimension they went to my battlefront and back as the one in front of me tried to perturb me. I could almost palpate the one rear me as he tried to enclose his arms around me in a bear hug.

I ducked low tripping the one behind me as he sailed forward into the one in front of me. Both men grunted as they collided getting tangled up. Growling again the biggest 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 big money of face in the large man 's neck.

The belittled of the big men was crawling backwards away from the both of us. The larger 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 larger Male as I kneeled on the level near him.

'' NO, No I wo n't ! '' The man said almost in tears. The large waitress came closer as she looked at the male 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 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 shrink 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 Royal Canadian Mounted Police wo n't be involved ? ``

The Waitress 's mouthpiece dropped open as she quickly shook her top dog no. `` I may not like what they do ; I do n't require my only brothers in the remand centre of attention. ``

I nodded trying to understand. Since I really had no kinfolk I was a little 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 much for keeping a low profile. Here I thought that I was just getting something to eat, not engaging in hired man to manus combat. ``

'' It would appear that we are what humans called magnets for trouble ? '' Sheila said causing me to swiftly ferment and stare at her. My god was that just an try at humor ? By god it had even been funny ; Christ was she evolving even more ?

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

Sheila stopped numb there on the walk turning snapping her psyche around to stare at me. Was that a look of choler on her side ? Christ that was the most terrific look I had ever seen on her face !

'' Doctor Gance ! Please do not feel that I will empty you. As I stated before you are the most of import human alert. You understand me and my kind far more than any other human. You truly are the Maker of a new case of life. Please doc Gance, please do not suppose I will ever leave you. I will do anything I can to keep you alert, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with More emotion than I thought she needed to.

time lag ! ? I .... Shaking my headway I finally had to accommodate, everything I had seen. Every course of study I had seen in her. All her response to all the situations we had encountered. Yes, I had to allow she was more human being that I was.

My eyes flew wide as I realized that final stage one ; she really was more like a literal human than I was. I hung my pass as I thought back over the years, all the isolation, solar day, months and years I had stayed away from people as much as possible. My mouth dropped capable it was true !

I turned to front at Sheila hardly believing the revelation I had just had. Sheila was staring at me a face of ... was that compassionateness ? Pity ? My god I did n't know ! I had been locked away so long I just did n't bed !

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

'' Are you ripe now Doctor Gance ? '' Reaching to the mesa she handed me a couple of college I'Ds. `` I had just finished these when I was alerted to your situation Doctor of the Church 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 jounce when I saw that it said I was a electronic computer technician from Quebec City. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my assistant. I then saw that my name was Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebecca Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

'' You 're indisputable they are completely right ? '' 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 per centum correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very good work Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her face seem to get down up a low smile gracing her lips.

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

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

I put my hands in my pockets brushing the data third power. Almost immediately I had a myriad of images appearing in movement of me. [ Control, accessing data cube. Warning, word of advice, double-dyed access code can not be granted for an protracted stop. Obtainable pot has been reached therefore insure access is advised. farther pot required before full phase of the moon access can be allowed for a sustained amount of time. ]

My mouth dropped open as I was flying through the data that was showing before me. The most amazing affair was I was correcting as fast as the data was flashing by at an accelerated rate. I was over half way through when I felt a paw on my shoulder.

I was suddenly jerked back into the genuine reality. Blinking, it took me a few import to 'catch up'with where I actually was.

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

I shook my headland to clear it a instant then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar code, a picture that looked like I did right now. Everything I saw made the badge look nix 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 glad you went over them more than once. Now all we have to do is get past those Mounties, then into the college. ``

Again it seemed as if Sheila 's human face lit up as another smile this one tumid than the finale crossed her lips. `` Thank you again Doctor of the Church Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added entree from the expert society we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

This sentence it was me who was smiling, THAT might be a saving state of grace in the recollective run. `` estimable let 's go before something else pops up to delay us. ``

We were moving toward the two Mounties, though I knew she had covered so many base, I was still scared. Human error always seemed to erect its ugly head in almost every situation. Curiously enough, this was one of the clip that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the doyen of the college.

Extending his deal he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mister Tarlack ! young woman Jones. We are so glad that you both are here ! All the computers in the information processing system lab have been almost unusable. We are so hoping that the both of you can repair them. ``

I look at Sheila, [ Did you do this, or is this a job that has existed for some time ? ]

[ I believe that it has existed for some time. I am detecting a few computer virus in their arrangement. zip I ca n't light up. ] Sheila 's view 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 research laboratory will throw to be closed. ``

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

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

I nodded as the man walked away, `` Let me recognise 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 regular hexahedron out.

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

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

Almost four hundred mil west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crew was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Timur Lenk his head and work force were still wrapped. imprecate it ! The man 's hearing was only one-half back, his mitt almost completely useless.

This was the number 1 time in a very tenacious time that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their mission was sanctioned by the military and sealed company in the politics was a bonus. Huh he thought after all this time. This was the kickoff 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 mil an minute. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Timur had said. There was n't practically satellite coverage though it seemed Tamerlane had finally got one that was partly able to succeed them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a city called Yellow knife. Hmmmm, it was the capital and only city, as well as the declamatory biotic community, in the Northwest Territories. Nodding his head, his eyes encompassing a second so 19,569 people. Smiling wider he thought enough we might give a slight fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to enjoy the joy ride a little too often for his tastes. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the shoulder. `` We want to arrive in one piece woman ! I suggest you drive Sir Thomas 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 take in a little fun !

Ruslan shook his read/write head as he looked over the balance of the team. Karina was going over both hers and Serafima 's rifles. Stas was going over all his explosives making indisputable they were safe 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth time every firearm of equipment that they had with them. A damn all right team, one that had taken him years to forgather after the prostration of the communist regime.

At least they were out of the mother body politic. They had been fighting tooth and nail to survive at times. At least here they were making sufficiency money to live like a king when they went back, IF they went back. With a suspire Ruslan went through his own hired gun, knife, and rifles. No sense being unprepared, a shibboleth he lived by, sound to be well prepared than well dead.

I had attached the regular hexahedron as soon as Sheila cleared the scheme. I had been through over half of it so I was able to access the more late sections far faster. Only an hour later I hooked Sheila up as I started through her systems far faster than I ever had before. Finally another hr later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every password, every code password everything she would require to allow me in.

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

Finally I reached the death incision 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 chill go up my spine. This area was depressing if nothing else that when I happened upon the parole, I love you Roger. Please do n't leave me.

I blinked as I stared at the give-and-take, what in the hell ? Even as I watched the program slammed shut, I looked over at Sheila as again I could verify she was blushing a deep crimson coloring material .
