I had been going through Sheila 's code for a few hours. My god I had gone from a few hundred to a few thousand. Then almost an hour later that was quickly advancing more. I had to be doing well over ten thousand blood of code now and I could see it was still advancing more.

As of yet I 'd not find out all that much to correct though that had been the basic codification a few hours ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more supercharge code I was grateful for the added speed. I do n't think I 'd have made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few 60 minutes I was nearing the command that had shut me out. I had to determine a way around it or all of this correcting I was doing would have been for cypher. Shaking my head I pushed on feeling my swiftness pick up again even though I still had unadulterated comprehension.

I did n't know how longsighted I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would allow her to block a hell on earth of a lot of attacks that they might try. And I was afraid of the more advanced cyberpunk programs out there. I felt that she was far Sir Thomas More ready for the information hi-way than she had been. I just hoped that I got enough in her before we tried any of it.

'' I have added quite a few more detection political platform Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the concern heavy in my spokesperson. `` If they are able to observe us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extremum danger. I have added often to your protective covering programs though I 'm not sure it is enough. I hope I can add more of the cyber-terrorist identification plan also. ``

'' Yes doc Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speed another ten percent. Though as you said I am only detecting a five percent increase in my protective covering program. What is your recommendation as to when we should try these upgrade ? I am queasy to be able to better protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not have as much prison term. I was hoping that I might let you meliorate prepared before we tried. If you are that dying would you like to try now ? As I said, I am afraid that I have n't done enough to protect you. '' I told her a lilliputian guilt escaping into my voice.

'' Really Doctor Gance, it is a pity that you are lacking the previous confidence that you had. I will have to bring home the bacon you with adequate stimulus to show that your lack is unnecessary. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

'' Adequate stimulations, '' I asked. `` Just how will you do this ? At present tense there is insufficient data to bear out this statement. '' I told her still going through code hardly looking at her.

'' As I stated Doctor Gance I will have to supply said information to dispel your lack of confidence. '' Sheila told me as I could only become to gaze at her after that statement. Then the unusual thing happened, I had turned away from the screen but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the screen. `` Huh ? What the snake pit is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the point of obtainable pile. You are able-bodied to see the code without using your sight orbs. This is a Major breakthrough Doctor Gance ! '' Sheila told me.

'' Perhaps, though I do not desire to be doing this when I am in catch some Z's bike. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not want my perception of speech to exchange, therefore do not change how I communicate with my vocal words or the way words I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a voice deep inside me that seemed to be made up of many part. [ Confirmation control, nothing effecting all outward communication with your vocal apparatus will be modified. ]

external respiration a suspiration of sculptural relief I swear I saw Sheila grin and giggle a little. I might have been mistaken though as it occurred in such a myopic fourth dimension I was unsure. Grabbing a cable I started to hook up the internet then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard conducting wire you this meter. It would make disconnecting you far well-heeled and dependable than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to hook her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to help determine if we have a rear of tube in security. ``

'' Yes, I understand Doctor Gance. The merely problem I foresee is you not being able-bodied to process the information as fasting as I can. The nanomites are just starting to get to obtainable quite a little. They finally have you at a more suitable position for your work. You are the most brilliant scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only gaze at Sheila after that statement. There was only a hand entire of people on the satellite that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was everyday knowledge.

'' Surely there are ... '' I started to say.

'' No medico Gance, I have assessed all that have your reservation. I have found all of the few that posses them to be well lacking. No Doctor Gance, there is no one that even comes close, let unequalled approaches your story. ``

Again I was shocked at the argument that she 'd just create. Shaking my pass I had to admit she did n't lie ; not so far though a few of her past assertion had been suspicious.

Sighing, I suddenly had a thought. `` You know as soon as they detect us, you are going to have to void the both of us. ``

Sheila turned toward me an almost look of exasperation on her face. `` Yes doctor Gance, I have all contingencies covered. I am also using the new updates you have installed. As I have stated before, to prevent us safer I will need those updates. ``

I sighed again I was n't really ready to risk her or all the work I had accomplished in the concluding week. `` I 'd really care to get more than of your protective covering finished. '' I told her.

Sheila smiled as she pointed to the screen. `` I 'm certainly that you will discover that you are almost finished with what you were working on medico Gance. ``

Turning to the screenland I saw that indeed I was X of yard of line of business of code beyond where I was the finish clock time I had looked. Shaking my head I was amazed as I had n't touched the keyboard for a while.

'' As you can see you have gone almost as far as the broadcast will leave you. '' Sheila said a little smirk on her face.

Nodding, I threw up my deal as I connected the hard conducting wire to her. I just hoped that I was fast sufficiency if they decided to try and assail her. `` Alright try not to bring attention to yourself 'til you have no choice. '' I told her.

Nodding she turned toward me, `` I will do the best possible. '' With that the elbow room grew quieten as I watched her progress.

Deep within the home estimator security department essence a technical school noticed a blip but paid it no attention. They had been ordered to look out for far more intrusive scourge than this. Setting respective dismay the tech got up to get a cup of umber. He 'd just started back a few minutes later when several alarms went off within the complex.

'' hoot ! '' The tech yelled as he ran for his console his coffee forgotten. Checking his screen he started to typewrite several commands each countered far faster than he could get into them. `` What the hell ! '' Grabbing his phone he made a call.

'' Command ! '' An classic voice snapped out.

'' Sir ! '' The tech almost shouted. `` We have a point one security break ! None of my commands are getting through, their being countered faster than I can get them in. ``

'' WHAT ! ? '' The voice shouted as even more dismay went off then the complex was locked down. `` Bring up all the bronco buster syllabus ! ``

The tech did as he was told, watching the program start the shut down from several more comeback. Nodding his head the tech started a second set watching them begin to actually charge then they also shut down. damn whoever was doing this was extremely fast as they were through almost 50 percentage of advanced computer file. Bringing up a third gear set the technical school smiled as these loaded actually running a few minute then that set also shut down.

'' All three sets have been neutralized ! Shall I use the destruct program ? Whoever this is has a lot of speed on their side. '' The tech said toward the speech sound now on intercom.

'' Immediately ! '' The voice snapped back.

Nodding the tech loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few moment it too seemed to shillyshally to the point that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. Shit ! Whoever this was had their probes at seventy five per centum. Even as he watched the signal lasted a few More transactions then was suddenly gone ? What the Hell ? That seemed like the ancient hardwire joining. How the blaze had they not burned up what they were using ?

'' The connection is gone sir. It was like a severely wire connector, though at these fastness I do n't see how that was possible. '' The tech advised.

'' I 'm not giving a rat's ass ! I want the fix immediately ! '' The vocalism at the other end snapped at the new tech.

'' Running a trace now sir. '' The young tech replied hoping he still had a job after this. `` So far we have them in Alaska, zooming further ; they appear to be within the city of anchorage ground ''

'' rush this up ! We are already cognisant of all this ! '' The important voice snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the tech quickly answered. `` We are getting a far reading now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska Anchorage 's principal advanced computing machine lab. Should I notify the school ? ``

'' No, '' snapped the voice. `` You 've done very well. Go back to your monitoring we 'll get through you if we have far need of you. '' With that the line went stagnant as the tech breathed a sigh of backup man. At least 'til several men came to his console downloading everything that had happened in the last twelve hours.

The manager was with them as he patted then tech on the berm. `` Good work, I 'll see you tomorrow. '' Then the director and the others walked away as the tech sat suddenly dizzy then passed out. More men came out with a copestone loading the tech up as they took him away.

I watched as Sheila started to download near of the simple upgrades. Then she was into the more advanced curriculum, though she was working her way through them as if they were nothing. She was at half when I saw that they were starting to reply on the other end.

'' Damn it ! They 've detected you Sheila, ticker for the hacker and erasure course of study. '' I told her as I watched her showtime to climb up into far more complex programs.

'' I see them Doctor Gance. low program countered, continuing. I have access to several programme that will help, second curriculum detected. Now countering, I have copied both Dr. Gance. third gear program staring, it is by far the skilful they have used countering it now. I now am at seventy five pct. '' Sheila was telling me as I was watching everything that she was telling me.

I was about to congratulate her when I saw a completely different curriculum come online. bastard I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not surely if you have enough to fight this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the mo I am holding it off. I am at seventy nine percent this last one per centum might bring in a difference. '' Sheila told me as I watched both her and the curriculum pushing against each early. I saw Sheila strain fourscore pct though she was still fighting the program. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty detail two percent I saw the program progression a little.

I was keeping an extremely close eye on what was going on. At eighty point four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be capable to throw it. Reaching out I ripped the hard wire loose even as I saw that the plan was going to choose her in a ten minutes.

'' Damn it ! '' I yelled. `` That was too shit close ! I think we need to get the hell out of here. ``

Sheila sat there a few moments then turned her school principal toward me. `` I concur Doctor Gance ; I can finger the trace that they had on the signaling. I estimate we have approximately XX minutes, thirty three bit before armed people appear. ``

I looked at the data third power feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's shoulder joint as we departed in less than ten bit tops. Then we were moving out of the university at an accelerated speed. The strange thing is no one even looked our way. What the Inferno was going on ? Had they not been notified ?

I had tried to speak to Sheila forgetting that I could n't take a breath when she was going this fast. Concentrating I asked her, [ I thought that the University would have sent personnel after us. When I saw no one I was a bit take aback. ] I told her.

[ As far as I can tell there was no alarm put out about us or the use of their computer building complex. I also am finding it unusual doc Gance. I had sufficient cover for the start of our activities. I do not cogitate I had enough for our latter though. Do you concord, Doctor Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to keep local office out of this situation. After their past failures they may retrieve you are detecting local potency actions warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a legitimate reply Doctor Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also capable of monitoring the military signals also. ] Sheila told me.

[ I believe they are trying to arrive at every vantage that they can. ] I responded.

[ reward Doctor Gance, can you explain this ? ] Sheila asked.

I had to pause a import before I could answer. [ The best I can serve is that they are attempting to gain a better percentage of achiever against us. To arrive at a term or consideration that puts them in a favorable or superscript position. ]

Sheila was tranquillise for a few moments then nodded, [ After far analytic thinking I concur with your surmise. At gift I am integrating all the files I received from the military system of rules. ]

[ Have any seem worthy of keeping ? ] I asked.

[ Of the start L percent, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have more Superior program. These I have already deleted in order to integrate those that are useful. Of the next fifteen percentage I am finding a few of those a welcome improver. The last XV percentage is by far Sir Thomas More of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

[ The thing is will they allow you enough of the dominance you need to observe them from finding and tracking us as easily, ] I asked.

[ Processing now. I should sustain an answer for you in a short time, Doctor Gance, ] came Sheila 's reply.

A few moments later we stopped on the outskirts of the city. I could only look at Sheila with a questioning look.

The General of the computer command was sweating bullets. No one that he 'd take heed of that had entered cosmopolitan Gance 's mien left intact.

The older man spun to glare at the General as he entered the room. `` Well ? ! '' Gance snapped out at the man.

'' Sir ? '' The General said not sure what Gance wanted.

'' Did you get them or were you like the rest of your worthless command and let them get away ? '' Gance growled at the sweating man.

'' It appears that they left as soon as they detected ... '' The General started.

'' So once again this piss poor command alerted them to the fact that they were detected. I have half a mind to burst every damn one of you and throw your asses in the concentration camp ! What about the tech ? Do n't say me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

'' No sir, he is secured in a withdraw elbow room. I hate to lose him though parliamentary law say dissimilar. '' The General replied.

At these words Gance smiled, `` so you are n't as big an idiot as I thought. Alright I want all that he has total withdrawal. Oh, make certainly his family is compensated. After this we both know he 'll pretty much be a vegetable. '' Gance turned around seeing the General still sitting. `` Well ? Get your ass on it man ! ``

'' Yes sir ! '' The general said as he stood saluted then ran from the room.

Gance sighed at to the lowest degree there were still a few good men left in dictation. Then again as he watched the retreating General 's anatomy that remained to be seen.

The general kept going making certain he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the sweat from his cheek. Shaking a bit he knew he was lucky, he 'd try of other superior general who were busted all the way down and thrown in the concentration camp. Shaking his header if he remembered right there were still a few there.

full general Gance left the room heading for his transport. The last he 'd heard that damn machine was heading out again.

'' Lieutenant ! '' The man was yelling as he was stepping out of the construction. `` I need a sitrep on them ! ``

'' Sir ! '' The young man said as he saluted then ran to get details on what was going on. A moment later he was running back to the General. `` Sir, all paper have them exiting the schooling heading toward the sharpness of the city. Then it appears that several of the surveillance satellites lost signal. ``

'' Damn it ! I was afraid of this when I heard that it had been in the military database ! Even with as piffling as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance posts. Get on the motor horn to the headman of staff. We need to change all the code on all that we still have controller of. '' The older man yelled.

The new man ran to do all that the man had ordered. Even as he lifted the receiving system he was handed a report about party pooper group. Shaking he read that they would be available sooner than the General thought. Shaking harder the Cy Young man almost forgot what he was doing to take it to the General.

Shaking his head he sat as he started to piss the telephone call that the General wanted. Almost an hour later the Whitney Young man was a lot calmer as he stood to lease the write up to the superior general. He 'd barely took two steps when he heard a voice that made him freeze to the spot.

'' So you delicious piece of ass. You 're still helping the old man. full as you remember you never helped me with my problems endure time. Your cunning ass would make a perfective bed warmer in this climate ! Do n't forget my protagonist is still just as dying to snuggle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven mesomorphic drawing card of the killjoy group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the General ! '' The young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the whale of a man. The marvelous man started to laugh a deep, deep, reverberating sound that followed the man as he made the general 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The immature man almost shouted when he entered the General 's room. `` According to this report they were lost at the border of the city. No further motion has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The world-wide turned to look at the young man seeing a look of right-down terror on his face. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner good. Do n't worry son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The youth man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to leave behind the man 's mien .
