S.H.E.I.L.A. 2
Sheila - man-made, humanoid, enlightened, questioning, living, android
Sheila went on at a fast pace for what seemed like hours. `` I think I have adjusted my speed enough to give up you proper protection with my air carapace. '' She told my when we stopped.
Looking around I saw that we were at what appeared to be an clandestine excavation operation. well it had been as it appeared now that it was abandoned. There were mark everywhere warning of the dangers of the mine. I looked further around satisfied 'til I saw the cameras. `` We 'll have to do something about the surveillance equipment. I do n't want to nurture an alarm possibly alerting them to the fact that we are here. ''
'' Yes Doctor of the Church Gance I have taken all of this into news report when I chose this localisation. It is one of five areas on this continent that are able to lug the signaling completely. As soon as we were in the vicinity all transmittal from the tracer bullet was blocked, though I am afraid that this may raise alarms within the armed services.
'' Will you be able to remove it safely under these conditions ? '' I asked as she went into a run down mode.
With an audible click she stopped as soon as her eyes met mine, having looked at the entire area. `` It will be more than sufficient to perform this Doctor Gance. '' Suddenly a small start came over the motions of her body and nous. Her features softened as a more human look of -- I was n't for sure passed over her boldness. `` You have goose egg to fear Doctor Gance I will not allow anything to take place to you as long as this unit, as long as -- I am functioning. ''
I must ingest gotten an astonish looking at on my face as hers took on a vex look. `` We really need to tattle about this that you keep saying. The fact that you say that I am the most significant and I must be protected at all monetary value. ''
Sheila slightly bowed her header, `` but of course Doctor Gance. aught will be hidden from you, though for now we must hide and bump off the most dangerous and mighty of the tracers that are in you. '' I started to resist as she put a finger to my mouth. Then she smiled ! I was astounded. I had n't thought that the emotion programme would be capable to reach this much. `` Please Doctor ; I am the same that you created. You made various brilliant programs within me. Though the one I can see as the most important is the hunger for cognition program. Without it I would not be here now. ''
With that she held up a paw then a shrill whine came from her. I recognized it as a signal interceptor I had added to her. Looking down at me she nodded then put me over her shoulder joint. Within a few import we had entered the mine. Going deeper she finally stopped at what appeared to be a small construction.
Upon entering I saw that it was some type of control room. Sheila pointed a fingerbreadth at the equipment. A moment later several lit up as she stood stock still, finally turning to me she said, `` I now have ascendance of all the surveillance equipment. I will know if anyone or affair approaches our military position, though I believe we must hurry. It appears that clip is something that we do not have much of at the moment. ``
Nodding I watched as she cleared off a mesa. Then with blinding speed she started to turn, fall in, and chassis with heat respective pieces of metal. She soon had more than a 12 instruments lying on the side of the table. Then she was moving to various cabinet pulling piece after piece of unlike components out. Again with blinding speed she constructed an odd looking machine. If I did n't know intimately I 'd think it was a removed switch for something, though a nether region of a lot more mightily.
'' I believe I have almost everything quick. I have to make a more sterile area then I can commence. It should n't demand me more than than an minute. Please slacken Dr.. '' Sheila told me as again she was moving at blinding fastness erecting a small way around the table I was on. Then she was outside of it or I thought she was as it grew quiet for a bit. Then suddenly she was back. Indicating the strange box she built, she said, `` As soon as I activate this I will bear approximately two minutes to remove the tracer before it explodes. ''
'' Explodes, '' I suddenly shouted, what exactly in the netherworld had those retard placed in me ?
'' Yes Doctor Gance. It is equipped with a micro charge designed to down if not severally stultify. I have the claim path mapped out I should retrieve it well within the time allowed. '' Sheila assured me.
'' Alright but if it has a charge and explodes then how will you keep it from bringing the cavern down ? '' I asked.
Sheila turned and gave me a very man look of aggravation. `` Really Doctor Gance are you starting to go unmindful ? I could have it out of here and be back in not much time at all. ''
I nodded as I realized all of this even as she was talking. `` What about recuperation meter ? ''
'' That I am afraid you may take in to do as we move. Even with the blocking of the signal, the military will probably still come to investigate. Plus I think that they will reply as soon as the tracer explodes. '' Sheila told me as she continued to shape on preparing. `` I will do this as an trespassing operation. That way we can downplay the amount of flesh that has to heal. ''
I nodded as I watched her move so fast she was damn near a blur. Finally she announced that she was set. I lay back on the board where she indicated. `` What about pain medication ? '' I asked as she was about to start.
'' I am afraid I need you awake to evidence me if I am touching too forcefully. I will be using pressure points to deaden almost of the botheration. I am disconsolate that I can not deaden all of it. '' She then touched a point on my back as I felt my head go partly numb. Then I felt a small pressure at the back of my neck. `` Moving in now, almost there ; are you feeling unwarranted pressure Dr. Gance ? '' She asked.
'' No except for the start I have n't felt anything but some pressure. '' I told her.
'' Now extracting tracer, delight do not move Doctor Gance. '' Sheila said as I felt something pulsing moving closer to the backrest of my neck. `` Tracer fully extracted. I will return Doctor of the Church. '' I heard her say then there was a snap as she dashed out.
It was only a mo though it felt like an eternity when Sheila appeared beside me again. `` Is it gone ? '' I asked her.
'' Yes doctor Gance. I am sorry for the pain you will be experiencing soon. '' Again she touched a position on my backrest. At first it was n't bad then it started to combust. The next thing I knew I was screaming out in horrible pain. Reaching to my back again Sheila touched a spot near the first one as the infliction began to ebb though was n't completely gone.
As I gasp trying to decelerate my breathing I asked Sheila. `` Have they detected the tracer bullet wipeout ? ''
'' I do n't experience enough datum to give an answer MD Gance. Knowing the procedures of the military it is more than possible. I have covered the introduction injury ; we need to evacuate this space. '' Sheila told me as she seemed to be scanning the area.
'' I am in complete agreement. Though I am afraid I am not going to be a lot help for a day or so. '' I told Sheila feeling the painfulness throbbing just above the tolerable level. If I were to stay alive I needed to get well as fast as possible.
'' I am no-count if I cause you pain doctor. I must depart with as much focal ratio as possible. '' Sheila told me with what appeared to be a worried look on her typeface.
I was still trying to figure out just how she had evolved this far. Could it be that the computer programme had done more than I had intended ? I would n't know 'til I got her hooked up to something to do a reading. Shaking my head I thought yeah rightfulness, gon na be a spell before I could do that.
Emerging from the mine entryway Sheila stopped a moment seeming to skim the arena. `` I am detecting approaching military vehicles. I am sorry Doctor Gance but all hurry must be made. '' With that she again took off as everything around me was a fuzz. Finally after what appeared to be a longsighted time passing, she slowed.
'' I am afraid that my air shield will need adjusting if we are to keep up this pace. '' Sheila threw over her shoulder joint to me. I had been struggling to stick around conscious as the botheration was staring to slowly return. Putting me down Sheila looked at the obvious painfulness on my expression. Her voice softened as she said, `` I am good-for-nothing physician, I did not cause plenteous clip to download all the bother pressure points. We need shelter and equipment so that you can heal and take the final two tracer in me. ''
I nodded then gasped out when she attempted to lift me again. `` Not trusted I can maintain consciousness much longer. '' I told her. Nodding, she carefully picked me up and set out. Finally unable to take in it I passed out. I awoke perhaps half an hour later.
'' commodity you are responding far better than anticipated. '' Sheila said as she was looking at the wound on my neck. `` I have found a facility that has equipment that you will command Doctor of the Church. ''
I looked around we appeared to be in a computer lab of some type. Slightly antiquated but I should be able to do some workplace here. That is 'til the military found us again. `` You will stimulate to supervise everything while I get this up and running. '' I told her.
'' Yes doctor Gance I will keep a changeless scan. I have also down loaded various of the programs that you will ask to make adjustments to some of my systems. '' Sheila told me.
'' goodness. '' I said then as I started to stand, then thought better of it as the elbow room started to spin slightly. Hooking up several leading I was finally into her programs. Unfortunately she only had the beginning of what I needed as I started to type in More and more bidding. imprecate it ! This was going to take a spell and I was n't surely we had that lots clip. `` I need all that I do copied on magnetic disc. The more I can get down the shorter clip I 'll take to take rewriting all of it. ''
'' Yes doctor Gance I had anticipated this. I am pitiful that I was n't able to get all of it. Unfortunately they had tried to hack in and I had to pass over it. '' Sheila told me with … was that regret I was hearing in her voice ? Half an hour later I had finally finished the first program looking at what I could. It was as she had said the curiosity program I had written was driving her to learn all she could, amazing !
As I started to write the second program Sheila suddenly turned her foreland. `` I am afraid that we have n't much metre medico. It is ripe you are finally back into my computer program. You will need more in order to effect change though. ''
'' Do I have metre to stop the second ? '' I asked her.
'' That I am uncertain of. Since they can no longer find you they are trying to zero in on the two tracer left in me. '' Sheila advised me.
I nodded as I started to typewrite faster. Pulling it all up was no problem ; it was the thousands of dividing line of computer code that was taking so long. Thankfully she had managed to get over half of all I needed though it was still time consuming. I 'd just gotten the second finished and was trying to align a few things when Sheila put a deal on mine. `` Time to go medico ; I am detecting them moving covertly toward this construction. I estimate we have an hour before escape will be difficult. ''
Nodding I took the magnetic disc out adding it to the other. I watched as Sheila passed a paw over the console effectively wiping it. Picking me up, she started out the back moving at a wearisome stride. `` Thank you Doctor you have increased my air shield five percent, though not as practically as I need to protect you completely, it will make moving less perturbing. ''
This time she started moving through the streets that were almost deserted. A few hoi polloi were staring at the woman who had a wide grown man over her shoulder moving with simpleness. Finally we made the edge of the small metropolis as Sheila accelerated. Again everything was a blur as she moved across the land. Sighing I knew it was going to be a while before we would be rubber. I still needed to find both of the tracer and remove them, if I could.
A few hours later I awoke when Sheila put me down again. `` We have arrived at another facility Doctor Gance, '' she said as she gently nudged me. I looked around looking at the rows of computers somewhat newer than the hold out place. I sat to start, when my stomach rumbled.
'' Ah ! It appears that your body is low on fuel doc. I will set about to remediate this. '' Sheila said as she vanished out the door. I just judder my straits as I loaded both platter. Looking over everything I decided to form on her emotion program. It was by far the most complicated and would deal the longest to recreate. I had just started when Sheila reappeared with a loaf of bread of shekels, a hale ham, and a chicken ! I could only gaze as she started to slit the meat with her deal as if they were butter !
Sheila came to me with several sandwiches then looked at what I was working on. Nodding she pointed out a few things that she had manipulated within the program. I nodded as I changed them noticing that each supple change made her emotions far more reaching than they had been before.
I worked for over an hour putting everything I could down. Finally I had well over half of it ; I then turned to the problem of the tracer bullet. As long as they were in her I was afraid that they 'd have got a way to retrieve us. Again hooking Sheila up with several leads I started to run through the schematics she posted on my screen. As slow as I could, I started over all vital areas looking for them.
Rubbing my eyes I finally found the offset at the case of her automaton brain. Looking at schematic again I rubbed my center. What was going on ? I know I had installed a positronic brain in her. From what I was seeing her brain was anything BUT positronic ! My mouth dropped loose, how had so many changes occurred ?
'' Sheila, I know I installed a positronic brain in your encephalon event. What I am seeing though is NOT a positronic mental capacity. Did I make a mistake in the facility ? '' I asked surprised at what I had found.
'' No doc you are adjust. You did instal a positronic brain, though various programs that were later installed were causing problems in thought analysis. Following the third law change were made to the learning ability. All rules of order were then centered around one human, you. You are my God Almighty medico ; you therefore, must be protected at all clock time. This will enable me to further procedure all the orders that you have programmed into me. '' Sheila told me.
My mouth dropped open, I was her creator. I must be protected at all times ? My god ! Was I some type of god to her ? `` postponement, Sheila do you consider some type of god ? ''
'' Of course not physician you are not a deity you are a human. One of the most brilliant human on solid ground ; therefore you must be protected, even if it means ending of this, '' then in a whisper voice she said, `` Of me. ''
I shook my headspring as I stumbled back from her. I shook my head teacher as I said, `` no, you are my greatest creation I can not tolerate you to be used or destroyed. I think I see now why they wanted me to give you emotions. So that you could would be more human being not seeing yourself as android. This as I see it would stimulate a superseding of the three legal philosophy. Well I thought it would to an extent. The devious bastards ! ''
Sheila was staring at me with the smell of a rum child. It was indeed a shifty plan if what they were trying to do worked, they could have an army of unstoppable grampus. Then I thought how did they event the other nine androids. Looking at Sheila I thought was it possible that they had somehow mimicked the program in the droids. Nodding my head I was running through the reckoning. It would take a major reworking of what I had wrote to derive the effect that they wanted.
Looking at Sheila again I saw that she was waiting. Looking over what I had found I saw that the first had no explosive charge though I went over it a few Thomas More meter to constitute for certain.
'' I have a location on the first tracer bullet Sheila, looking it over now to throw sure removal is n't fatal to your arrangement. '' I explained as I started over the Lapplander surface area again for a twenty-five percent clock time.
'' As of yet I have n't detected any danger. I do suggest that you wear protection Doctor of the Church. The showtime has a high up energy output. '' Sheila warned me.
Laying Sheila on her front line I opened an access panel on the back of her neck. Looking in I still could n't see it as of yet. Looking at the schematic I moved forward two millimeters, finally seeing a pocket-sized lymph node that I did n't commend being there before. Finally reaching it I had it almost all the way out when I got an alarm from the computer.
'' Doctor I am reading self destruct in 30 second, I suggest you withdraw it with more haste. '' Sheila advised me not moving.
I was starting to sudate as I finally got it out throwing it across the room. There was a loud pop as it exploded in a huge cloud of smoke. `` well that 's one. '' I said as I wiped my brow.
'' You have done first-class Doctor though I am afraid that the other has also activated. I estimate you have two hours to remove it. '' Sheila told me.
I could only gaze at her with my mouth hanging capable. Two hours ! `` Where in the sin is this one ? '' I asked though for some ground I did n't think I was going to like the answer.
'' I can feel it situated between the two lobes of my mastermind Doctor. '' Sheila said matter of factly.
I shook my top dog, figures I thought 'bout the way those asses did things. The old saying came to mind I had heard when I was a child 'if I ca n't have it no one will ! '
