how-do-you-do my figure is Roger Gance and I am a drained man. Well I am if I ca n't figure a way out of this problem. You see I am a cybernetic/android programmer, creator. I recently found out what was being done with my institution so you might say I rebelled. That 's when they sent one of my prototypes after me ; one that they had been using for character assassination and a few ecumenical killings.

My in vogue creation I had developed over the last fifteen years. A synthetic, humanoid, enlightened, inquisitive, know, humanoid - Sheila as I called her was far beyond anything that had ever been done. She had a potentiality of trend faster than anything out there now. Her thought unconscious process were almost as profligate as the man encephalon. She was for want of better Word of God perfect, well to me. In the respect of the human wash she was close, approaching, though not quite there.

I had just finished updating her servo motors in the weapons system and legs. She was faster than anything in the humanoid Earth ; I should deliver figured the war machine would want her. I had started putting her through her paces with all the brass observation. To say they were more than impressed would be a major understatement. They had hit me with a problem XV years ago that I had spent all this time working on. generate her and all androids emotions.

I remember telling the brass ; sure as shooting, generate me a few years I should let the start of a puzzle out program. How in the snake pit could I, one of the bright people on earth been so goddamn stupe ? Not once did I see what I was doing was wrongly. I was a scientist I had no lesson codification of moral principle, right ? Like hell ! Especially when the same cosmos I had spent most of my life making were turned on me.

So I had finished with Sheila 's servosystem rise, she was faster and stronger. She made the image I had created looking like they were moving in slow move. It was late, and I had just loaded the last part of the emotion program a immense hard task. With the servosystem rising slope finished I could finally put to work on this other request of the brass full fourth dimension.

'' Sheila ? How are you feeling now ? '' I asked when I saw the finis part of the political program was installed. Oh I have to assure you I made her feel like an actress I had seen. She had polish peel, perch blonde, John Brown hair, with dreary eyes. I think the actress 's figure was Stone though I ca n't quite remember.

Shelia opened her oculus looking around then at me. `` This unit finds it strange MD Gance. This unit can feel the air in the room. The micro-fiber filaments you covered this skin with are operating at XC eight percent. This unit finds this well within permissible parameter. Adjusting sensors 'til they are at one hundred percent. ''

'' Very full, '' I replied. `` Test audio recording and visual detector. ''

'' Working… now adjusting to optimum range. Linking servomechanism motors. Now syncing all systems to positronic processing centers. '' It was perhaps another 30 minutes when Sheila turned her headway toward me. `` All systems maintaining one hundred pct. ''

'' Excellent, now delight admission file program 001A through 999z. Integrate all data file contained within. If you experience any difficulty, stop integration at once. suggest me as to the trouble area that I may adjust for optimal load of programs. '' I ordered her.

'' Now accessing all single file for desegregation. It will drive approximately five hours, twenty two transactions, thirty three seconds to finish all data file. Shall this unit warning signal you when they are complete Doctor Gance ? '' Sheila replied.

'' Yes, that will establish satisfactory. '' I told her, little did I realize that this was the defining bit that everything changed.

It was almost five hours later when I received a message from the brass. They wanted Sheila as soon as I was done. They wanted her for testing, testing ? All the tests would be fill in she would n't need more examination. Calling up all ten of the prototypes I was shocked to see that two were dynamic in early body politic with social club to bolt down. putting to death ? They were n't made for that ! I sent a destruct signal watching as the two sent to kill people exploded.

A few moments later my earphone rang. `` Doctor Gance what in the underworld have you done ? Those were on charge to kill some extremely bad people ! Cease and desist or we will have to terminate your syllabus ! ''

I started to laugh as I sent three other sign. I watched as they also exploded, taking a few scientists I did n't make out with them. I had adjusted to take out the others when they stopped responding. So it appeared that they had hacked me out.

I had forgotten I still had the phone to my ear, `` conceive yourself retired and terminated Gance, effective immediately ! We will be there in a few hours for the new killing auto ! ''

Finally finding my voice I shouted back, `` you can try superior general, you can try. By the clock time you get here there will be no information on the program left. I 've already deleted one-half of the files and backups. So I 'm sure your yes men wo n't be able to hearten her. ''

'' She belongs to us not you ! No issue, as soon as you are perfectly we 'll just consider her apart. Reverse engineering her should n't be a problem. '' The General was saying calmly.

'' As I said it wo n't be that easy full general. You had to be a self significant asshole and keep me out of it. Well as long as I am alive you Charles Herbert Best be afraid. She is main and ca n't be hacked. '' I hung up as the superior general was starting to holler again.

I had already sealed the lab though I knew they 'd get in in a few time of day. I just had to wind up her then we could go, though at the moment I was n't certain where. Pulling a disc I had been preparing for something like this. Slipping it in I started to type several building complex commands. Sitting back I laughed as I saw that for a short time we were good.

A bowel movement behind me had me whirling as me Sheila had stood walking toward me.

'' Dr. Gance this organisation is puzzled by the instructions that the program has given it. It is not understandable many of the mastery that it requires of this system that seem useless. This system is in need of further elucidation before the program necessary can be acted on. ''

Sighing I had been afraid of this as I held up another disc. `` This should allow further clearing of many of the terminal figure and necessity. '' I told Sheila. I just hoped that the extra definitions I had added would be enough.

Slipping the disc in Sheila stood there stock still as the new data started to flow through her. I looked at the clock I just hoped that the new selective information I had given her would serve her to process better.

'' I 'm sorry Sheila that we did n't have the time to explore the possibilities of the course of study. I have put much of myself into it but you 'll never know. You at least will never have it away the heart break of departure. '' Sighing I looked at the clock again we had maybe another two 60 minutes before they got through. Well I hoped, as when we left here any chance I had to avail her would be gone.

It was twenty minutes later when Sheila reactivated. A softer representative came out of her as she said. `` I see Dr. Gance. The new information was indeed helpful though I am still unsure of a few of the command for me. So what are we to do next ? ''

I looked at the clock again we really needed to go but I knew she needed to a greater extent answers. solvent that I was the lone one who would truthfully tell apart her. I started to explain about the image that the brass has been using to assassinate multitude with. I told her everything I had learned as she went through files pulling up everything I told her.

'' I see Dr. Gance you never intended for any of us to get the ending of human being. Thank you, as I have seen you are a rare human being in that you do not lie. fountainhead you lie 80 percentage less than almost all humans I have accessed the criminal record of. '' She replied after I was finished.

I nodded as I told her, `` I have found that the whole summons of lying takes far more energy than I am willing to barren. Energy that I find to be far more productive in mental avocation. I am grim that there are so many thoughtlessly human race. ``

'' I also find that your pursuit of the mental to be far more productive. Again I thank you Dr. Gance, I think though if we are still to survive after today, we need to escape. I am detecting several road that we can take. I will stock you so that we can micturate far better time. '' Sheila told me as she hoisted me up over her articulatio humeri and started through the wall !

'' I thought you saw shroud exit, I had n't thought you 'd go through the wall ! Just think back I am merely human I am not as nearly indestructible as you. '' I told her as she was slicing through walls as if they were n't there.

'' I apologize Dr. Gance but this is the quickest way out. It is also the furthermost away from those that I feel are at this moment attempting to break into the lab. I will strive to keep you safe, even if I must destroy life to do so. I am pitiful Doctor if that upsets you but you must be kept alert. '' Sheila threw me back over her shoulder.

Sighing I understood though for the life story of me I could n't figure out why she was saying I must be kept alive. I 'd induce to ask her at the soonest chance I got. I thought back as I went over the program I had written. At metre it was a approval and a oath to take in a photographic memory. nil was coming to me about her business for me.

It was a simple five bit later that she broke through the last paries and we were at the extreme point back of the underground lab. Shaking my head I had a arduous sentence seeing. I had n't been out of the dugout like lab in over a yr. Hell that had been to attend a meeting that the brass could n't have with me in the lab.

Sheila did n't cease but rather picked up upper as she took off across the athletic field. My lip was hanging unfastened as she accelerated even more ! My god everything was a blur ! She had to be doing almost sixty miles per minute and she was accelerating ! I know I had increased her strong suit and velocity though I had n't known she was this fast !

We were across the mile of field within two minutes my god ! The discipline was ten miles across ! I was aghast ! According to my calculations she had been doing three hundred statute mile an hr ! I looked back as she slowed when she made the road. My god ! There was a sear strain across the field ! How in the Inferno had I not felt the quickening or the friction of the air ? Another interrogation I 'd deliver to ask her when we finally stopped.

'' We must win access to a fomite. '' She stated a few minutes later as we stopped at my apartment from the lab. I had n't really been here at all in over a year. You will need a change of clothes Dr. Gance. I am afraid that the air shield I projected around us was inadequate to completely protect your wearing apparel. ''

Sure enough as I stepped into the apartment I saw that indeed my clothes were somewhat sunbaked. Smirking I nodded, an air cuticle ? I do n't think of anything like that while I was constructing her. `` I have a few query myself Sheila. '' I stated.

'' I thought you might Dr. Gance, though at the moment we only have a forty bit leash on them I can detect that they have finally broken through into the lab. I can experience the reckoning down on the ego destruct. They are attempting to stop it I am accelerating it. '' There was a repress plosion outside of townspeople then the undercoat shook for a few consequence.

I started to rush as I changed all my clothes with Sheila watching me. `` Is something wrong ? '' I asked Sheila when I noticed she was staring at me.

'' I have head about the homo reproductive organisation. Though these deal more with the sensory faculty. Watching you I am getting a reaction within the emotion program. Though I do not understand it, I am accessing all the entropy that you supplied me with. '' A few moments later she shook her school principal. `` The information you supplied me is incomplete. I need more information, though I must say medico your info is by far more informed. What I am gleaning from the net is also incomplete but is helping to fill in many of the gap that are missing. '' Turning she said, `` Time to go.

I nodded as she again put me over her shoulder then was outside the city within minutes. `` We need to find a space to blot out Sheila. You are running on battery backup that was n't completely charged. An hour in the sun should fully fill the assault and battery. ''

I watched as she looked back at the city. `` I concur with your judgement Dr. Gance. I am at twoscore pct now. I am certain that if we continue on at this step I will be depleted in no time. I am seeing that the solar ball at the nitty-gritty of this solar system will rear in nine hours, twenty dollar bill minute of arc. After we find a place I will shut down 'til it is up to reload. ''

She again took off though at a much lower velocity. A few miles further out she stopped at what appeared to be a house. `` CAT scan inside are you detecting anyone within ? '' I asked.

'' Beginning read, no apparent human life though I am detecting a genus Canis lupus familiaris. '' Sheila said a moment later

I started to rack my brain then it hit me. `` You mean a dog. Can you distinguish what breed it is ? ''

'' Searching for the human figure. '' Sheila said then was quiet a moment. `` I believe it is called a Rottweiler. We need to get in there though I am sensing that the creature is guarding the dwelling. Shall I dispatch it ? ``

'' No, I do n't want to harm an creature that has been trained to protect. Can you tranquilize it so we can enroll ? '' I asked.

'' Searching all data acquired. Yes I think it is possible. '' Sheila opened her mouth but nothing came out. There was a barking from within then it was quiet. `` I believe it is condom though I will go first. Your protection is my first priority. ''

There she went on again with that my life and protection was her inaugural precedency. I needed to get to the bottom of this it was starting to get irritating not knowing.

Approaching the house Sheila quickly had the doorway open as she walked in. Cautiously I made my way to the doorway looking in. Sheila was bent beside the dog almost seemingly talking to it.

'' It should be rubber for a few hours. I emitted a signal that has calmed this fleshly 'til such time as we leave. Come in and rest for a time. '' Sheila told me.

I nodded moving inside, closing the threshold. I figured we would have to depart in a hurry later so I laid on the couch. `` I have set my internal alert to the solar disc rise. I will awaken you Dr. Gance so we can depart for a safer topographic point. ''

'' Alright Sheila though I suggest you set your detector to notice any apparent movement of the armed forces toward us. '' I told her.

There was a low clicking then she nodded. `` I have done as you suggested Dr. Gance. Now rest your protection and health are of the topmost importance. ''

'' At the earlier potential time we need to have a discussion about these statements you have made Sheila. '' I advised her.

'' Of course Dr. Gance, though I am unsure of your confusion that I am detecting in your voice. Indeed we do need a give-and-take to ally your confusion. I am going into hibernation mode as you should also Dr. Gance. '' She said then she shut down.

vibration my head I thought about all her programme that I had put in her. Could one of them be the understanding for the escalated concern for me ? I was n't trusted though it was about to drive me disturbed I could n't figure it out.

Even as I watched her systems went blue and she stopped moving. Shrugging I settled on the couch and closed my eyes. It was half an minute later that I was still wake unable to get the day's events out of my head. Was I so one tracked minded that I had n't noticed what was going on around me ? As I was reviewing all the data I had to allow in I was.

Finally a off-and-on quietus took me as the dreams started. In them I was being laughed at again for the many
incredible ideas I had come up with. Like most times in my life sentence I had been put down for having the brains to actually defecate a difference. Having decided a few old age before that I was n't going to let the skeptics stop me this time. I knew what I was doing was important and I was going to try out it !

I jerked awake having heard something moving. Barely aware at all I watched as what appeared to be one of my prototypes silently came through the door. I had to wonder how in the hell had they found us this quickly ? It was at that import I realized that the nerve was good about terminating me as the epitome moved toward me.

The prototype paused a moment as if trying to discern me then it raised an arm. I was dead I thought then what was left of the prototype was falling to the floor cut in half.

'' semen Doctor we need to pull up stakes this property before they issue more to terminate you. '' Sheila said as she hoisted me as if I weighed nil onto her shoulder joint and started out of the building. `` I am afraid that the solar disc at the center of this solar system is still 30 minutes away from rising. I will strive to prevent you safe 'til it is up and I can reload more. I found an alternative power source in the edifice but it did n't provide nearly as much as I need. I estimate I am still at forty percent. ''

'' As easily as they found us I think we need to bring in a sweep of each other to determine if they are tracking us. '' I advised Sheila.

'' Yes physician Gance I concur with your premiss. I am running a fully scan now. '' There was a moment of silence then she stated. `` I am reading a total of sixty four tracking devices within both of us. nigh are contained within myself. I have already started to inactivate them. '' Reaching out toward me with lighting fastness Sheila ripped a ignition lock of hairsbreadth from my capitulum. `` I am dismal MD I should have warned you, please restrain still. '' With that she very quickly cut a shallow argumentation on the back of my deal removing a small throwaway object. `` There, that is the strong two ; the other two will take a bit longer. ''

My oral cavity was hanging open then I nodded, it was about their pep pill to get injected tracers within me. `` Are you going to accept any trouble with any of the 60 ? '' I asked as Sheila was smooth again.

'' At the nowadays moment I am uncertain. I have already deactivated fifty of them, though I am afraid they are the unassailable ones. I am attempting to destruct the others now. '' Sheila said then was quiet for a few more minutes.

I looked at my helping hand where the trailing gimmick had been as I shook my fountainhead. The thing was they had injected me without my knowledge. A here and now later Sheila looked up then opened her mouth as a pocket-sized pile of wires and other part fell out of her. As the galvanic pile grew I was beginning to wonder if there was anything left field in her.

'' There doctor Gance I have removed L nine of them. Unfortunately the last is too close to my positronic reasoning center of attention to transfer without damage. I am afraid that you are the only one who can hit it. '' Sheila told me.

'' Were you able to deactivate it ? '' I asked.

'' No, though now it is only accessible at close range. I am afraid though that one of the two still within you are. We need to find a place so I can dispatch it, also so you can mend. '' Sheila stated.

'' Heal ? '' I said shocked. `` Just where is it located ? ``

'' Not far from your spine near the junction of your brain. It should n't be too arduous I have already been gathering all the entropy to do it. As I said Doctor Gance your safety is of the upmost importance. '' With that Sheila took off at accelerated speed further away from the base and the city .
