Sheila - synthetic, humanoid, enlightened, inquisitive, living, android



Sheila went on at a fast pace for what seemed same time of day. `` I think I have adjusted my speeding enough to allow you right auspices with my air shield. '' She told my when we stopped.

Looking around I saw that we were at what appeared to be an underground minelaying military operation. Well it had been as it appeared now that it was abandoned. There were signs everywhere warning of the dangers of the mine. I looked further around satisfied 'til I saw the cameras. `` We 'll receive to do something about the surveillance equipment. I do n't want to lift an alert possibly alerting them to the fact that we are here. ''

'' Yes MD Gance I have taken all of this into account when I chose this location. It is one of five areas on this Continent that are able to block the signaling completely. As soon as we were in the locality all transmissions from the tracer was blocked, though I am afraid that this may enkindle consternation within the armed forces.

'' volition you be able-bodied to polish off it safely under these term ? '' I asked as she went into a glance over mode.

With an audible click she stopped as soon as her middle met mine, having looked at the total area. `` It will be more than sufficient to execute this doc Gance. '' Suddenly a small start came over the motions of her body and head. Her feature softened as a more human look of -- I was n't indisputable passed over her face. `` You have nothing to reverence Doctor Gance I will not appropriate anything to happen to you as long as this unit, as long as -- I am functioning. ''

I must have gotten an astonished look on my face as hers took on a apprehensive feel. `` We really need to talk about this that you keep saying. The fact that you say that I am the most important and I must be protected at all monetary value. ''

Sheila slightly bowed her head, `` but of course Doctor Gance. Nothing will be hidden from you, though for now we must hide and hit the most life-threatening and mightily of the tracer that are in you. '' I started to protest as she put a finger to my backtalk. Then she smiled ! I was astounded. I had n't thought that the emotion programme would be able to action this much. `` Please Doctor ; I am the Saami that you created. You made several splendid programs within me. Though the one I can see as the most significant is the thirst for knowledge program. Without it I would not be here now. ''

With that she held up a hand 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 articulatio humeri. Within a few moments we had entered the mine. Going deeper she finally stopped at what appeared to be a pocket-sized building.

Upon entering I saw that it was some eccentric of mastery elbow room. Sheila pointed a fingerbreadth at the equipment. A bit later several lit up as she stood breed still, finally turning to me she said, `` I now have control of all the surveillance equipment. I will sleep together if anyone or thing coming our lieu, though I believe we must hurry. It appears that time is something that we do not have much of at the present moment. ``

Nodding I watched as she cleared off a table. Then with blinding speed she started to turn, fail, and shape with heat respective pieces of metal. She soon had More than a dozen instrument lying on the side of the table. Then she was moving to respective cabinet pulling man after slice of different ingredient out. Again with blinding speed she constructed an odd looking machine. If I did n't get it on better I 'd guess it was a remote switch for something, though a Scheol of a lot more powerful.

'' I believe I have almost everything ready. I have to defecate a more sterile area then I can set about. It should n't film me more than an minute. Please relax medico. '' Sheila told me as again she was moving at blinding speed erecting a pocket-size room around the board 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 have approximately two minutes to remove the tracer before it explodes. ''

'' Explodes, '' I suddenly shouted, what exactly in the netherworld had those half-wit placed in me ?

'' Yes physician Gance. It is equipped with a micro charge designed to pour down if not severally lame. I have the exact way mapped out I should retrieve it well within the fourth dimension 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 facial expression of exasperation. `` Really Dr. Gance are you starting to become mindless ? I could accept 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 time ? ''

'' That I am afraid you may stimulate to do as we move. Even with the blocking of the signal, the military will probably still come to enquire. Plus I think that they will reply as soon as the tracer explodes. '' Sheila told me as she continued to work on preparing. `` I will do this as an invasive surgery. That way we can denigrate the measure 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 ready. I lay back on the table where she indicated. `` What about pain medication ? '' I asked as she was about to set off.

'' I am afraid I need you awake to order me if I am touching too forcefully. I will be using pressure points to deaden virtually of the pain in the neck. I am sorry that I can not deaden all of it. '' She then touched a point on my spine as I felt my head go partly numb. Then I felt a small press at the back of my neck. `` Moving in now, almost there ; are you feeling unjustified insistency Doctor Gance ? '' She asked.

'' No except for the start I have n't felt anything but some pressure. '' I told her.

'' Now extracting tracer, please do not move Doctor Gance. '' Sheila said as I felt something pulsing moving closer to the back of my neck opening. `` Tracer fully extracted. I will give back Doctor. '' I heard her say then there was a child's play as she dashed out.

It was only a bit 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 sensation you will be experiencing soon. '' Again she touched a spotlight on my back. At first-class honours degree it was n't bad then it started to burn. The side by side matter I knew I was screaming out in horrifying pain. Reaching to my back again Sheila touched a spot near the initiative one as the pain in the neck began to ebb though was n't completely gone.

As I gasp trying to slow my breathing I asked Sheila. `` Have they detected the tracer bullet destruction ? ''

'' I do n't induce enough data point to give an answer Doctor Gance. Knowing the procedures of the military it is more than potential. I have covered the entry wound ; we need to evacuate this infinite. '' Sheila told me as she seemed to be scanning the orbit.

'' I am in discharge arrangement. Though I am afraid I am not going to be a good deal assist for a day or so. '' I told Sheila feeling the pain throb just above the fair to middling horizontal surface. If I were to stay alive I needed to get well as fast as possible.

'' I am no-count if I cause you pain doc. I must go away with as much focal ratio as potential. '' Sheila told me with what appeared to be a worried smell on her boldness.

I was still trying to figure out just how she had evolved this far. Could it be that the program had done more than I had intended ? I would n't recognise 'til I got her hooked up to something to do a recital. Shaking my headspring I thought yeah right, gon na be a spell before I could do that.

Emerging from the mine entrance Sheila stopped a consequence seeming to rake the area. `` I am detecting approaching war machine vehicles. I am sorry MD Gance but all hastiness must be made. '' With that she again took off as everything around me was a fuzz. Finally after what appeared to be a long time passing, she slowed.

'' I am afraid that my air shield will need adjusting if we are to hold back up this tempo. '' Sheila threw over her shoulder to me. I had been struggling to stay put conscious as the pain was staring to slowly return. Putting me down Sheila looked at the obvious painfulness on my face. Her voice softened as she said, `` I am bad medico, I did not have ample meter to download all the pain pressure level points. We need shelter and equipment so that you can mend and remove the final examination two tracer in me. ''

I nodded then gasped out when she attempted to lift me again. `` Not sure I can asseverate consciousness much longer. '' I told her. Nodding, she carefully picked me up and set out. Finally unable to ask it I passed out. I awoke perhaps half an minute later.

'' Good you are responding far better than anticipated. '' Sheila said as she was looking at the wound on my neck. `` I have found a adeptness that has equipment that you will need MD. ''

I looked around we appeared to be in a computing machine lab of some type. Slightly antiquated but I should be able to do some workplace here. That is 'til the armed forces found us again. `` You will let to monitor everything while I get this up and running. '' I told her.

'' Yes Dr. Gance I will maintain a constant scan. I have also down loaded several of the curriculum that you will need to gain adjustments to some of my system. '' Sheila told me.

'' Good. '' I said then as I started to stick out, then thought better of it as the room started to spin around slightly. Hooking up several leads I was finally into her course of study. Unfortunately she only had the start of what I needed as I started to typewrite in more and more than commands. bedamn it ! This was going to read a patch and I was n't certain we had that much time. `` I need all that I do copied on disc. The more I can get down the shortsighted time I 'll have to take rewriting all of it. ''

'' Yes Doctor Gance I had anticipated this. I am sorry that I was n't able to get all of it. Unfortunately they had tried to hack on in and I had to pass over it. '' Sheila told me with … was that rue I was hearing in her phonation ? Half an time of day later I had finally finished the world-class 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 head teacher. `` I am afraid that we have n't much clock time Doctor. It is trade good you are finally back into my programs. You will postulate more in rescript to effect changes though. ''

'' Do I have fourth dimension to finish the second ? '' I asked her.

'' That I am uncertain of. Since they can no longer detect you they are trying to zero in on the two tracers left in me. '' Sheila advised me.

I nodded as I started to type faster. Pulling it all up was no problem ; it was the K of telephone line of code that was taking so long. Thankfully she had managed to get over half of all I needed though it was still clip consuming. I 'd just make the second finished and was trying to adjust a few things when Sheila put a helping hand on mine. `` Time to go Doctor ; I am detecting them moving covertly toward this edifice. I estimate we have an 60 minutes before escape will be difficult. ''

Nodding I took the phonograph record out adding it to the early. I watched as Sheila passed a bridge player over the console effectively wiping it. Picking me up, she started out the back moving at a boring rate. `` Thank you Doctor you have increased my air shield five per centum, though not as a great deal as I need to protect you completely, it will make moving LE worrisome. ''

This meter she started moving through the streets that were almost deserted. A few people were staring at the fair sex who had a full grown man over her shoulder joint moving with repose. Finally we made the edge of the small city as Sheila accelerated. Again everything was a blur as she moved across the realm. Sighing I knew it was going to be a while before we would be prophylactic. 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 adeptness Doctor Gance, '' she said as she gently nudged me. I looked around looking at the rowing of calculator somewhat newfangled than the lowest place. I sat to take up, when my belly rumbled.

'' Ah ! It appears that your trunk is low on fuel Doctor. I will attempt to relieve this. '' Sheila said as she vanished out the door. I just shook my head as I loaded both discs. Looking over everything I decided to work on her emotion program. It was by far the most complicated and would need the prospicient to recreate. I had just started when Sheila reappeared with a loaf of sugar, a whole ham, and a poulet ! I could only stare as she started to slit the meat with her hand 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 variety 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 tracers. As long as they were in her I was afraid that they 'd have a way to find us. Again hooking Sheila up with respective leads I started to run through the schematic drawing she posted on my screen. As slow as I could, I started over all critical areas looking for them.

rubbing my eyes I finally found the commencement at the case of her robot wit. Looking at schematics again I rubbed my oculus. What was going on ? I know I had installed a positronic brain in her. From what I was seeing her encephalon was anything BUT positronic ! My mouth dropped open, how had so many changes occurred ?

'' Sheila, I know I installed a positronic brainpower in your brain pillowcase. What I am seeing though is NOT a positronic brain. Did I make a mistake in the installation ? '' I asked surprised at what I had found.

'' No Doctor you are even out. You did install a positronic head, though several programs that were later installed were causing problem in thought psychoanalysis. Following the third gear law change were made to the brainiac. All guild were then centered around one man, you. You are my creator Doctor ; you therefore, must be protected at all times. This will enable me to advance process all the Order that you have programmed into me. '' Sheila told me.

My sassing dropped afford, I was her creator. I must be protected at all times ? My god ! Was I some eccentric of god to her ? `` hold, Sheila do you consider some type of god ? ''

'' Of course not Doctor you are not a god you are a homo. One of the most glorious homo on earth ; therefore you must be protected, even if it means resultant of this, '' then in a whisper vocalism she said, `` Of me. ''

I shook my head as I stumbled back from her. I shook my promontory as I said, `` no, you are my bang-up creation I can not allow 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 not seeing yourself as android. This as I see it would cause a superseding of the three laws. fountainhead I thought it would to an extent. The circuitous bastards ! ''

Sheila was staring at me with the look of a curious minor. It was indeed a oblique programme if what they were trying to do worked, they could have an army of unstoppable killers. Then I thought how did they effect the early nine androids. Looking at Sheila I thought was it possible that they had somehow mimicked the computer programme in the droids. Nodding my headway I was running through the reckoning. It would take a John Major reworking of what I had wrote to bring in the effect that they wanted.

look at Sheila again I saw that she was waiting. Looking over what I had found I saw that the first had no explosive burster though I went over it a few more times to make certain.

'' I have a location on the first tracer Sheila, looking it over now to make sure remotion is n't fatal to your organization. '' I explained as I started over the same area again for a fourth time.

'' As of yet I have n't detected any peril. I do evoke that you wear trade protection Doctor of the Church. The inaugural has a eminent free energy output. '' Sheila warned me.

Laying Sheila on her front I opened an access gore on the book binding of her neck. Looking in I still could n't see it as of yet. Looking at the schematic drawing I moved forward two millimeter, finally seeing a small node that I did n't think of 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 seconds, 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 garish pop as it exploded in a huge swarm of weed. `` Well that 's one. '' I said as I wiped my brow.

'' You have done excellent Doctor though I am afraid that the other has also activated. I estimate you have two time of day to get rid of it. '' Sheila told me.

I could only stare at her with my mouth hanging open. Two minute ! `` Where in the the pits is this one ? '' I asked though for some cause I did n't think I was going to wish the response.

'' I can feel it situated between the two lobes of my brainiac Doctor. '' Sheila said matter of factly.

I shook my mind, figures I thought 'bout the way those rump did thing. The old saying came to bear in mind I had heard when I was a child 'if I ca n't have it no one will ! '
