I could barely hold my optic open as we walked past most of the hotels. Shaking my mind I knew that Sheila had picked us a secure localisation though I was hoping we got there soon.

"I am still attuned to all military and non-military frequencies Doctor Gance. At the moment it appears that they have lost caterpillar tread of us. I am still modulating my own absolute frequency in random to lessen detection."Sheila said after we were in less of a crowd.

"Good,"I said one-half wake tinker's damn I was weary."We need to get under screening as soon as we can. They may be relying on human good deal of us to bring up another alert."

"Yes, infer Doctor Gance."Sheila said as we started to walk to a more forsake area."I have located a position that I can shit far more than secure than near we have been in. With the tally humanity within this city we have more chance of remaining more hidden."

Nodding I followed behind her. My eyelids were starting to weigh a ton. I really needed to lay down soon or she was going to be carrying me.

Stopping a here and now Sheila looked at me,"I'm sorry physician Gance your vigor has dropped below that which I consider a danger percentage point. I will endeavour to get us to the good area faster."With that she stooped down picking me up again putting me on her shoulder taking off.

I was just hoping that no one could see us. Not that I was insecure about her hauling me around. She had superior speeding after all thereby keeping the both of us better protected. No, I was more afraid that if she took off at high speeding again they might be capable to detect her a lot easier.

"Watch your speed we just fell off their detection, no indigence giving our position away again too soon."I told her.

Sheila slowed more as I saw her nod."Thank you doc Gance I am afraid that when it comes to your safety I put all else out of the equation."

She moved for about ten more min then we were entering another Brobdingnagian building. Almost as expectant as the hanger that we'd been in, in Sitka. Looking around I could see it appeared to be an old factory. Seeing all the machinery here I smiled. It wasn't much but I hoped that all the impenetrable metals might give us more concealment. Rapidly, Sheila made a soft bed of blankets for me as I lay down. Sinking down into all of them I sighed as I felt my heart close on their own.

"I shall return soon medico Gance, I know you still have work to do within me I will hold as much of a data processor built as I can when you awaken."Sheila told me them she was moving off out the doors.

Trying to open my eyes to watch her go I really hoped that this posture that she'd Chosen was as secures as she thought it was. Dreams, I had never really thought about them. I mean they were after all the succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the judgment during sealed stages of sleep. Yeah right, I thought then there were those thoughts that we all didn't try to think about ; incubus. Unpleasant dreams that can cause a strong emotional answer from the psyche, typically fear but also despair, anxiety, and keen sadness.

Shuddering as I felt myself start to settle benumbed I remembered the concluding one I'd had. Did the automobile think I was as stonyhearted as the nightmare indicated. I'd have to ask Sheila when I was awake again.

It had to be quite a few minute later when I awoke. Looking around I could see that many hour must have passed as it was now dark outside. Not too far away I saw Sheila was almost constructing a rather large computer tower.

"Ah ! Doctor of the Church Gance you are awake ! I have built the best that I could for you. Though I am afraid that it has no where the power of those you used in your lab. It does suffer twice the ram, and gigacycle per second processor of the last I built."Sheila told me with a smile on her face.

Shocked a moment I looked at her closer."Sheila am I detecting a modification in your emotional syllabus ?"

"You are very perceptive Doctor of the Church Gance. Yes, I am constantly making alteration, in order to manipulate all the alteration that are acquiring around me."Sheila told me with all honesty.

I nodded as I waited for her to complete up. Shaking my head I had to recover out just what she had done to the original program I had written. If as I thought she WAS evolving the program then as I thought before it wouldn't be long before she'd no longer demand me.

Hearing a slight gasp I looked up to see an almost tone of sadness on Sheila's face. What the hell ? Then I remembered that she could when I had extreme emotions actually ‘ hear'some of my thoughts. poop ! I thought. Was I afraid of hurting her feelings ?

shaking my principal I thought no, she'd have to have feelings for me THAT seemed an impossibility. Then I looked finisher at Sheila's brass before it went blank shell. Jesus of Nazareth had I really just hurt her feelings ? Ok I thought I really needed to get in there to do a more detail diagnostic.

Still with a blank aspect Sheila finally completed what she'd been doing then moved toward me."I believe that with this unit of measurement you should be capable to accomplish far more."

Nodding I took the confidential information hooking up what I needed then removing the data point crystal loading it to the comp as it came alive.

My eyes went panoptic as the program started to revel the worked up program to me. My god it was far and beyond anything that I had written ! Just the subtleties that he was seeing were greatly effecting just HOW Sheila was using and responding to them."Just how long have you been working on changing them ?"I ask Sheila with an astound tone on my face.

"I started not long after I became self aware. As I said, everything I saw was antiquated for a being like myself. Are you distressed with the changes I have made Doctor Gance ? Though I do not wish too, I can reset them to the former place setting if that is what you desire."Sheila told me a hint of unhappiness in her voice. I ... What ? ! She WAS sad ! Looking nigh I could see yes, she had advanced my simple-minded plan far beyond anything I had done.

"No ! delight I need to canvass what you have done. I have no desire to birth you as you were when all this started. As of right now I'd say these changes you have made are what is and ARE keeping me live. That and you operating as well as you are."I told her suddenly.

Sheila's face seemed to unhorse up at this."I will then endeavor, to proceed upon this line of reasoning for you, Doctor Gance. As I said I will do all I can to control your continued life and existence."

"Yes,"I said as I nodded to her."I am still somewhat upset about that third base law that you have instilled with in you. I am going to try and change it if possible."

Sheila nodded her head then seemed to be in thought process a moment."As I said before Doctor of the Church Gance you can attempt to, though as I said I did incur it somewhat hard to actually indite a third that I could accept."

I could only shake my read/write head as I started to delve in deeper finally reaching that part of her positronic brainiac that housed the three laws. Nodding I moved as gently as I could through the TiB of data I was seeing. Finally I had reached near her gist seeing the great many revision that she'd done.

I had been at it for only a shortsighted fourth dimension or so I thought when I felt a manus on my shoulder. Snapping my head up I saw that Sheila had another concerned look on her face."Doctor Gance you again seem to be getting low on the fuel in your body."Reaching over she handed me a plate of food, my eyes were large as not only was it fresh looking but hot as well !

Shakily I took the plate from her as I took my first collation. My eyes opened wide as I felt the absolutely delightful meal as it slid down my throat. Then I was attacking it with a hunger I hadn't realized that I had. Finally finished I went back to unraveling the third law that she had instilled within herself.

Quite a few hours later I sat back sighing. I had been through a hell of a lot of excogitation of the law trying to see something former than what she had. Finally I was typing in the last-place part of what I hoped would render her third law inert.

Pressing the send and economize I turned to a silent Sheila."Alright Sheila I believe I have the third law where you will be more self saving. Please read all three of your laws to me again."

Sheila's heart went all-inclusive a moment then she started to narrate."The three Pentateuch that I now follow, my first law nation : I may not physically spite Doctor Roger Gance or, through inactiveness, allow Dr. Roger Gance to come to any harm."

I nodded as I made notations on the reckoner about the first law."respectable and now you second law ?"I asked.

Sheila nodded then continued,"my minute law province : I must obey order of magnitude given by doctor Roger Gance except where such edict would contravene with the kickoff Law or are unreasonable. This includes but is not limited to destruction or death of another being or object seeking to end the existence of physician Roger Gance."

Again I was nodding as I made further note on the computer saving it as soon as it went in."Pretty a good deal as I expected. Now the 3rd law I worked all day to adapt this one as I found the response you gave the showtime time you recited it to be unacceptable."

Sheila was nodding then I saw her centre go astray as she realized something."Doctor Gance I am not sure I can work on this third law that you
have written."

Sighing I was afraid that she might react this way as I started to type various complex commands. Finished I looked back to her, now please scan your third law."

With what sounded like a terse, shuddering sigh Sheila nodded,"I must protect my own existence as long as such protection does not contravene with the beginning or bit Law. This law is never to be suspended. I will endeavor to line up a root before, that will economise and extend the lifetime of Doctor Roger Gance. The ending of my beingness therefore conflicts with the first and secondly practice of law and is not to be a broker in the equation."

Again Sheila's oculus were wide as I saw that she was already trying to re-write what I had spent hour formulating."I suggest that you cease all natural process to delete and rewrite this tertiary law."Gently I turned her head toward me as I looked into her eyes."You don't seem to cogitate that you aren't as authoritative to me as I am to you. serve this please."I said as I waited.

"I am ready Doctor Gance,"Sheila said something in her articulation that I couldn't seem to identify.

"surmise : with all the dealings you have with human being variety. All the information that you have gathered off the information highway can you posture a reasoning why I have done what I did ?"I asked her. For a moment she seemed to seem a bit confused then limpidity seemed to take over.

"Supposition : From all I have seen Doctor Gance, with all that I have studied so far. I can only postulate that you have a slap-up deal of pride in me. You wish for me to stay on to function. In some cultures you might say that you are in love with me as your work."Sheila said as my eyes went wide at her alternative of Christian Bible. damn ! I think for a instant she had me there. It was admittedly I was very rejoicing of her. Didn't want anything to go on to her, but love ? I had to think this over.

I was nodding as I sat with a clump then I looked at her with a belittled smile on her human face."All that you have said has valid power point Sheila. Now I have to ask, I have been unable to limit the most complex part of the aroused program. It seems to be made up of all the other emotions that you have."

Sheila suddenly looked at me with what appeared to be a bewildered look as she shook her head no."I can see it, feel it though as to identifying it I have no data to compare it to. I was thinking that you might bed as you more of an expert with emotions."

Now I know my eyes were large how in the blaze could I tell her that I was as much in the night about them as she was ? Especially the last 20 years ? I'd been locked away with almost null but science to keep me strong at night. Not a lot of emotion there after all.

"I am deplorable doc Gance that the third law I wrote was so disagreeable to you. As you said I will not attempt to overwrite it. Though I am afraid that I might birth problems later. You are the most important human alive, I therefore can NEVER allow anything to befall to you."Sheila replied.
Shaking my head I again stared at her,"that's the thing Sheila I still haven't found out why !"Then suddenly a thought hit me."Uh ... Sheila ? Do you have feelings for me ?"

This meter I was sure of it ! She blushed ! When in the hell had she developed that trait ?"I am not as sure as you think Doctor Gance, indeed I am feeling things far different when I am with you. I react to outside stimulant far different when I am with you. Perhaps it is all connected to that rather large and anomalous division of the computer program that neither of us can identify."

I was shaking my head as I started to admit a hell of a lot closer flavour at that part of the course of study. It had all the emotions but they were only a part of it not the main part of it. Shaking my head my mouth suddenly dropped open. Was it potential ? She had evolved all of them to this level I guess almost anything was potential. I had to canvas it a bit more to make water sure.

It was the skilful part of another day when I finally made a break through. I was beginning to find just what the hell the program was, well contribution of it. Though not directly linked to all her emotions it about definitely had a objet d'art of each making it up. As I started to finally stimulate each I nodded as they reacted as I thought they would.

Sheila though unruffled this altogether clock time was staring at me as I went through each as slowly as I could. It was a few hours later and I was barely half way through. Shit I thought this was going to take quite a while.


"General Gance I understand that you have lost them within the confines of Anchorage. This isn't sitting well with the Chiefs of staff nor the President. You need to ferret them out NOW ! End this before more permanent damage is done. If any of this comes to light it could seriously destroy the secret monitoring of other commonwealth we have established."The man on the screen said before his boldness contorted into a grimace.

"Yes Senator, we are working now to neutralizing all threats that he and it may face. We already have the city locked down it is only a affair of time before we locate them."The full general breathed out.

The man's question was shaking no as he started again,"I have heard this before superior general. The last clock time you had them in Sitka, still they managed to get away. This happens again without positive results ? We may get to withdraw you to place one there that CAN get results ! Am I making myself clear ? !"

The superior general snapped to attention as he saluted,"Yes sir, perfectly exonerate. We will do all we can to capture them. We ..."

"No superior general, the President just issued attempt and ruin edict. destruct this mechanical monstrosity once and for all ! Do what it takes and doctor Gance ? He is to be executed with extreme prejudice. If you have a problem with that then I will remove you this instant."The Senator said.

"No sir,"the superior general said with a smiling on his grimace."I have been waiting for the orders to kill that waste material of space for years now. He is nothing but a blight on a proud military family."

The senator was nodding as he was staring intensely at the General. Satisfied the Senator nodded."soundly I want this man dead as soon as potential. Far too lots is riding on the success of this mission. Get it done General."The Senator said then clicked off.

The full general was smiling, finally they had given him the go ahead and end that small prick of a son of his. Son ? Ha ! More as he'd said before a barren of space as far as he was concerned."police lieutenant !"The full general bellowed bringing the Thomas Young man rushing forward.

"Yes General."The younger man said standing at attention.

Looking at the man the full general nodded this was a more proper military man. Always obeying society, doing what the pit he was told for the good of the country."We've finally been given seek and ruin ordination from the chairperson. I want ALL posts, stand, whole EVERYTHING activated for this. This takes top precedency over everything else. Get on it let every command know that they all are to be on high qui vive for anything that appears to be out of the ordinary."

The lieutenant saluted as he made his way to the radiocommunication tent. They were as close to Anchorage as they could get without arousing suspicions. At least the young man thought he hoped they were, it wouldn't go well if the General got pissed as had again. Shuddering the young man picked up the box of cigars that he'd kept all this clock time. He'd seen that the general was almost out again. Having a good surprise would he hoped put him in better with the General's right graces for a estimable while, well he hoped.

The oecumenical watched the unseasoned man walk out in a hurry to get what the full general had conveyed out to the rest of those in Alaska. Yeah he thought you are going to die soon you sorry excuse for a son. Shaking his head he tried to blot out the image of the loser that he felt that his son was.

Moving around to several screens the General saw that they were slowly starting to close in. near with any luck the ass would be abruptly before the day was up, with that mechanical piece of shit a piece of scoria metallic element that they could easily disappear to something far useful.


I had almost completely obscure all of the huge what appeared to be an anomalous curriculum. Though as I was slowly starting to realize it wasn't as anomalous as I had at first thought.

I only had a few more to go through I was actually forming an idea as to just what they truly were. This was a shock absorber to me as I hadn't expected her to take it as far as she had.

Stopping I was staring at Sheila with an absolutely dumb struck look on my face. Sheila turned toward me when I had stopped typing and moving."Doctor Gance are you well ? I have detected input across your pituitary gland as well as far to a greater extent Adrenalin being released into your organisation than normal."

I could barely impress as I looked at her."According to all that I have found Sheila, all the data I have been through. It appears that ... are you are in lovemaking with me ?"

Sheila's eyes were wide for a second then her head turned toward the front end as she threw me over her shoulder taking off in the paired centering. A moment later the front of the edifice exploded then disintegrated .
