I had to keep back my mouth shut, 'til I was certain that the man was well out of hearing. Then I let unleash with an almost summate consuming laughing fit, I could get sworn that the man was about to piss on his self.

Sheila then turned toward me. `` From all indications, your nanomites have again obtained their second gear decisive mass. '' { Are you able-bodied to perceive my idea better physician Gance ? }

I only nodded, as I was starting to be able to draw more and more read outs up, on everything in the room. `` It appears that I am able to see a few affair I was ineffectual to before. '' I replied to Sheila. Reaching in my pocket, I quickly retrieved the data square block. I was again nodding as the cube seemed to spring to life the present moment I touched it.

A moment later, I could see where Sheila had also accessed it. `` Yes, you are proceeding far faster than I had at first thought. '' She told me. `` Perhaps you can accomplish the tertiary mass manner, before we have to move on. { This is junior-grade restraint, prison term estimation 'til tertiary vital mass is achieved ? }

{ secondary coil control, it is estimated that another long dozen hours, twenty three hour, forty three instant are required. At that fourth dimension primary control should take an estimated, ninety eight percent control of all corporal systems. } I heard the nanomites reply.

My head snapped around as I could only stare at Sheila. ninety eight percent ? How in the the pits was that even potential ? Then the next doubtfulness, did I really want to induce that much control. I remember Sheila telling me about the different stage. I was n't really expecting something as root as this.

thinking harder, I was trying to remember exactly what it was that she had said. The 3rd mass would be able-bodied to keep me at maximum wellness. Then there were what another four to six more than ? The showtime mass would let me at optimum wellness and speed among other matter. The conclusion one or two would increase my noesis and reasoning.

Shaking my head, I sat at the main cabinet as I started to type program line far faster than any human should be able to. Within a few transactions, I had laid the terra firma body of work for disabling all the security system. I had to nod at what I saw ; all of this was top rate as I had thought. Looking over to Sheila, I sat back as she connected directly to the terminal.

{ Very efficient Dr. Gance, now connecting to the primary soma. It will take a few hours to take in the information. After that, I will want you to look over everything. It was monumental the end time we attempted this. } Sheila told me. `` I also believe that we should hold off 'til such time, as you have reached thirdly critical mass. It would afford you capital restraint in cause anything happened as before. ``

I was nodding my head at Sheila, she was obviously shifting back and forth between thoughts and unwritten voice communication. Looking back at the final screen I saw that Sheila was taking in information, at a much slower rate.

{ gladiolus to see that you are n't taking it as fast as you can. } I thought to her.

{ No MD Gance. I do not want to over tax the high up speeding system. As I remember, the system overloaded the stopping point meter. I am being measured as you instructed me Doctor Gance. } Sheila 's opinion responded to me.

My head whipped around to again stare at her. As I instructed her ? I did n't think she was a slave to do exactly what I told her. Then it dawned on me, she was n't a striver, as she said she was a new life figure. As a new biography form, she was still learning so ... I guess I really was her teacher. Briefly I thought again that she would soon be through with me, not needing me. Then I remembered she was also in love with me, I also remembered she got mad about me thinking she 'd not demand me the last time.

Shaking a bit, I also remembered that I never wanted to see her that mad again. I sat back as a read out appeared before me, showing the progress Sheila was making. A few minutes later my head dropped not realizing that I was that tired.



On the Canadian force home Edmonton, Evelyn was pacing the hall outside of the room that held both her injured team members. Shaking her fountainhead every few min, she was also mumbling to herself. The only job was, the Thomas More she paced the more vex she got.

What in the infernal region was going on ? She knew her son, he was loyal to a tee. That bastard of an ex of hers must have seriously pissed Roger off. It obviously had something to do with that machine he 'd built. Though, why build it to bet like Chris ? The cobbler's last she knew, they absolutely hated each other, did n't they ?

stopping suddenly, she turned to stare at her daughter. Thinking about the altogether situation, she remembered, all of her rebellious doings, her hatred of men. All of that had started when she was told that her crony had been killed. Perhaps if that bastard had told her in a better way than : your illegitimate brother is dead get over it, you 've got a job to do.

Then there was Roger 's rapid withdraw from her. Smashing her clenched fist to the wall, then through it a few column inch, she nodded. The stale hearted, calculating son of a bitch ! All of this had been planned to make them what HE wanted them to be. A snap issued from her throat that caused even Chris to plunk for away.

'' What they hell has you so pissed off ? I did n't do a tinker's dam affair, bad enough that Trina is laid up a few calendar week. I ... '' Chris was saying.

'' Shut up Chris ! '' Evelyn growled out.

This seemed to only egg Chris on, `` What ? ass you Moth ... '' Chris started then was off the storey with Evelyn growling in her face.

'' I TOLD YOU to shut the hell up ! Now unless you want to accept an unfold nap, I suggest you do it. '' Evelyn growled. Dropping her arm, letting Chris cliff to the trading floor with a thud.

Chris rubbed her throat, shooting looks of extreme hatred at her female parent, though this meter she remained quiet.

Evelyn paced a few more minutes then stopped, when a major walked in with a phone. `` For you Mam. '' He stated then quickly left the room.

Taking the phone she sighed, she knew the bastard would regain her. `` So I Take it you are refine two appendage. You also killed two of the other group, nice work. Let 's Leslie Townes Hope you get the balance of them, as you know we 've no room for error. '' General Gance informed her.

'' Get on with it you ass. I have a job to do, not idle confab with your slimy side. '' Evelyn retorted.

'' Quite right, I need a report about ... '' Gance started,

'' written report ! You have eyes everywhere, quit bothering me 'til we are done. This should slay all that you have against us. '' Evelyn growled out.

'' We 'll see, it will get you off the precious inclination, as for even ? I do n't reckon you 'll even be close. '' The general retorted.

'' You bastard this should be the last. This is your fam ... '' Evelyn began.

'' Ah, ah, let 's not get into old dead history. As you know there is no meter for family, when we are protecting this country. '' The General said coldly.

Evelyn 's face contorted into a mask of extreme anger, though her calm representative betrayed none of that anger.

'' Yes, old dead history, we are stagnant to you as you are to us. Do n't rile me again 'til the job is finished. '' Evelyn calmly hissed, then smashed the phone on the floor.

Chris looked at the pieces of the speech sound then her mother nodding. Yup, had to be that cocksucker of a father of hers, to get her female parent this upset.

'' I have to go out. Betty you 're in charge, no one off the substructure 'til I return. '' Here she turned to Chris, `` that means all of you ! '' Chris only grunted an answer, as she turned her nous towards the door of the room where Trina and Diane were still being tended.

Grabbing Cathy, they both went outside to the vehicle. Turning to Cathy, Evelyn asked, `` Do you intend you can tune to the oftenness that the car that he built can detect ? ``

Cathy only thought a consequence then replied, `` Actually from everything I have seen, it should be listening to almost all frequencies. Though I am sure you would want a gamey, more secure one. I can set it up for you, monitor if you wish. '' Cathy offered.

'' No, I, have to do this. There are a few things I need to find out, before we carry out the rest of the missionary work. '' Evelyn told the shorter light brown hairy woman.

Cathy only shrugged, showing Evelyn exactly what to do then going back in. Evelyn watched the woman all the way back to the building, then waited a moment before she tuned the radio.

'' I am calling Roger Gance, if you can try this please respond, I think you know who this is. I believe that we need to talk, I also believe that the Oklahoman we do, the sooner a neat many thing can be resolved. '' Putting down the microphone, Evelyn waited a few minutes then repeated the Saami dialog again. Then she started repeating it every five minutes. That ought to attract his attention she thought.



I was asleep a little spell, having a dream I think, about accepting a Noble trophy though, I ca n't be trusted. I was suddenly jostled from it by a visible radiation vibration. I tried to swat whatever it was away, when it just started again. Groaning I barely opened my eyes whispering out, `` What ! ? ``

Sheila was about to shake me again, then withdrew her hand. `` I have been receiving substance addressed to you Doctor Gance. ''

She was silent a minute then I heard, `` I am calling Roger Gance, if you can hear this please respond, I think you know who this is. I believe that we need to babble, I also believe that the sooner we do, the Sooner a great many things can be resolved. ``

I blinked, then blinked again. That was mother, sounded like her, though, from her recent actions I doubted it was.

I looked at Sheila as she said, `` Do you like to reply ? I have the frequency if you do. ''

I stared at Sheila as if she were demented. Talk to the enemy ? To the ones that were out to demolish the both of us ?

'' I 'm not so sure Sheila. public lecture to an enemy ? Besides, I really have nothing to say to that gripe ! '' I said with a little more venom than I meant.

I immediately regretted it, as I saw Sheila actually pull away a bit. `` I am no-good doctor Gance, I had thought that having not talked to her in so long, you might hope to. She seems to be repeating it every five minutes. '' Sheila then looked at me intensely as I went over all this in my mind.

Finally, I decided that I would n't, when Sheila stated, `` female parent, a female parent, one who often forms a bail with the unborn fetus. doctor Gance, do you imply to say that this distaff only produced you affecting no hamper ? From all I have seen all mothers form some eccentric of bond. Are you certain that this female produced you ? ``

For a moment I had my mouth open, then I started to smirk, which slipped to a smile. Finally I was in a broad laugh that was n't made better when, I looked at Sheila with her completely unplayful face.

'' Yes Sheila, I am more than sealed. '' Taking a deep breath I was about to say no, when a intellection struck me. She was trying to arrive at out though, I did n't know if she was really solemn, she sounded damn close. `` Alright, open a groove. Make sure we 're not being traced. We just got going here, I am not about to break off. ``

Sheila nodded as she was quiet a mo then said, `` I have the frequency now, you may go. ``

I took another cryptical breathing spell then spoke. `` Hello mother, to what do I owe the most unpleasant pleasure of talking to you ? ``

Almost immediately I heard a pant, `` Roger that 's no way to spill to your moth ... ''

'' mother ! ! ? Please, just get on with it ok ? I do n't have all the clip in the macrocosm, thanks to yours and the early radical that is after me. What in the netherworld do you want ? ''

'' I want ... no I need to talk to you. You have been lied to by that bastard of your father. I ... '' Evelyn started.

'' I already know this Irish bull ; tick tock tell me something I do n't know. Better do it soon as this conversation is starting to have me. '' I snapped back at her.

'' We need to satisfy, I ca n't say what I have to over this channel. Knowing your bastard sire, he is already trying to hack it. Just gather me in an 60 minutes, there 's a Starbucks between one hundred and one hundred one north west streets. It 's close down to the city center. '' I heard my female parent say, damn it almost sounded like she was desperate.

'' Alright, though you better give me two 60 minutes I am obviously further away than you are. '' I lied, I really was n't more than than fifteen hour away, though I was n't about to grant her anything. `` If you are n't alone, you 'll never see me again, I 'll make damn sure of that. ``

'' Good ... damn it ! '' Evelyn said as she saw that I had already disconnected.

Evelyn hoped that the rest of her team had listened to her. This was the only chance she had to conform to with him. If, they could contrive this right hand, that piece of bastard of her ex-husband would be dead in less than a calendar week.

Evelyn set out taking her time, she was in no rush. If her team was monitoring her, then they would see she was in no danger. Driving on, her supercilium furrowed as she thought about that, knowing Cathy, anything Evelyn did would set her off. Especially after Evelyn left her in charge.

It was an hour and a one-half later when Evelyn pulled to a stop near the coffee workshop. Shaking her headland she hoped that this was n't a waste product of time. Roger had always been a bit skittish, though his recent action seemed to point to an entirely different person. Well she thought, we 'd see in LE than a half hour.



I was walking down the street not far away when she pulled up. Ok, so far so good. { Sheila ? Are you detecting anything ? }

{ No Doctor Gance, as of yet I am detecting no armed personnel. I am keeping all participating scans going 'til I know you are no longer in peril. I can be there within twoscore five seconds. I have to resist again, this is far more of a risk you are taking than any end upshot can merit. } Sheila advised me.

{ All of that is duly noted Sheila. Though, with the augments the nanomites have made within me, I should be exquisitely 'til you can mediate. } I replied.

{ Still Doctor Gance, I do not wish well for any injury to come to you. This is after all, the loss leader of one of the groups that is trying to eradicate you. } Sheila thought said.

I stayed as well out of sight as I could, 'til the time to meet was here. Then I eased up to where she was, listening to Sheila as she stated that there was still no one approaching.

I took a deep breath as I was about to turn the corner when Evelyn spoke. `` For god sake Roger, sit already. You really suck at stealing. '' Then she gave that little chuckle I remember her using.

Shaking my top dog I sat in the hot seat that she offered. `` Ok, so I am here. What in the netherworld do we give to talk about ? As I remember, YOU, were the one that left me with that oppressive potentate. American language patriot ? I think not, international bravo coordinator would be more like it. Yeah mother, I know a hell of a lot Thomas More than you think I do. ``

'' I had no choice Roger, it was leave you or suffer your sister. He threatened to ship her off, score out us from her mind. I ... '' Evelyn was saying a split second of anger on her grimace. commodity I thought, she really does hate him as much if not more than I do.

'' Yeah, we all can see how well that went after she got killed. At least she was n't captured. I searched for her for days, nothing. founding father 'convinced'me to go back to study. '' I spit out, with a delirium I had n't had in quite a while.

'' facial expression Roger, I am a prisoner much as you were, all my squad is. Though, I think I have a plan to finally rid you and the relaxation of us of him. Plus I think there might be a few other benefit. '' She replied.

'' welfare uh huh, reconciliation with you ? No, not going to happen mother. We passed that years ago. I ... '' I started to say when I heard Sheila.

{ Warning, warning, respective heavily armed fomite, personnel approaching. They are using a dampening technology or I would have detected them sooner. I have detached, arrival in thirty moment. } Sheila warned.

I sprang up moving behind female parent as I heard three fomite approaching. `` Not courteous to relegate your promises, mama ! '' I sneered as I rapidly tied her to the chair, surprising her at the speed I was moving.

'' It was n't me Roger, please delay meet them. you might recover it extremely interesting. '' Evelyn stated.

quiver my head I replied, `` I do n't think so, I 'm not fast enough yet. ``

A moment later Sheila appeared before me, `` Good you are safety. '' I looked at Evelyn as she was staring at Sheila, her sass hanging open.

'' My god ! Christine ? '' She was whispering in a strain voice.

I looked at Sheila then Evelyn, `` No this is Sheila. She is a synthetical, Humanoid, enlightened, Inquisitive, Living, android. She is what father wants, to earnings war on the rest of the world. Not going to hap while I am alive. ``

'' Roger, she looks so a great deal like Christine. delight this was n't my doing, meet with me again. '' Evelyn said seeming to be begging.

I looked at the approaching fomite shaking my head. `` We 'll see if what you say is true up, we 'll see. ``

At that I took off down the street far faster than I thought I could move. Sheila was quickly beside me as we made our way back to the university.

{ I take it affair did not go as planned ? } Sheila asked.

{ No, not exactly though, I did deal to get a few thing off my thorax. She wants to adjoin again, THAT, I am not so trusted of. We need to get better prepared before I can even consider it. } I returned to her.

Sheila was nodding as we made it to the University in a mere five minutes. I also noticed that I had almost melted my shoes from the friction.



Evelyn was still sitting there staring up the street the way I and Sheila had left. Chris and Ruslan were the low to attain her.

'' female parent ? ! Are you harmed ? Should we take off after them ? '' Chris said, alarmed at the daze that was registering on her mother 's face.

Ruslan shook Evelyn, `` Comrade ? Comrade ! o Gospodi ! She appears to ingest seen a ghost. Comrade ! '' With that Ruslan reached out slapping Evelyn in the face breaking her shock. Almost immediately three gunslinger were pointed at Ruslan, as two rifles were pointed at the gun bearers.

palpitation her caput Evelyn looked at the faces that were looking down at her. Then her eyes centered on Chris, `` My god ! '' Here her voice was hardly a voicelessness. `` It really does look exactly like you ! ``

Serafima smirked as did Betty, they both tightened their grip on their rifles. `` effective ! So you have seen it too. At least now everyone wo n't think we are crazy, '' Serafima stated.

Chris of course, was looking between the three women as if they were losing their mind .
