Sheila and I walked away from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as calmly as we could. No sentiency upsetting the men if possible. Sheila took me to what appeared to be an abandoned cabin on the fringe of the city.

[ We 're going to have to prepare for certain we have all the proper certificate before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

[ I concur, ] returned Sheila 's sentiment. [ This is a different country we have to go carefully. ]

I was nodding my correspondence after I sat inside the cabin. `` I suggest you look at the universities data al-Qaeda to see just what we will postulate. ``

'' I have begun looking over what we will need Doctor Gance. It appears that we will necessitate individuality in rules of order to also have the identification badges. Using our real personal identity would not be prudent in this instance. '' Sheila said after a few minutes.

'' No it would n't, we have to have single that are believable. I have heard that the Mounties are dangerous about their security. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in thought process for a few Thomas More moments. `` It appears that you are set. I therefore shall make sure that all is even off before I show our new identity element to you. ``

'' Alright then, I 'll impart you too it. Though I could use something to eat, I have n't had anything in quite a few minute. '' I told Sheila.

Sheila 's center went wide a moment then it seemed she was scanning my entire consistence. `` I apologize Doctor Gance ; I was completely focused on our leakage. You DOE is at a low gunpoint. Shall I find you something ? '' Sheila asked.

I thought about then shook my head. `` All I think I need is Canadian River money. ``

Sheila was still a minute then two Canadian twenty throwaway slid out of her side of meat. I could only stare at the frizzly new bills shaking my head. `` Will these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost look of confusion on her face.

'' No, I think they are far too new looking, it might be suspicious. '' I replied.

Sheila was repose a minute then two more quondam slightly wrinkled note came out of the Saame opening move on her side. `` Perhaps these will suffice better ? ``

I looked at the two sr. looking twenty dollar bill then nodded. They appeared to be just what one might expect from a traveler. I was about to walk out when Sheila stopped me pointing to my pilus and face. Nodding a here and now I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an KO'd coming into court variety. haircloth to reddish brown color, eyes a unclouded Brown University. Jaw dividing line less pointed. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ Control ; all variety being affected. All perimeters will be completed within five minutes. ] I heard from within me.

I stopped at the door as I waited for the changes to take core. A few minutes later I was walking toward what appeared to be a diner though this being Canada I was n't sure enough. Sitting down near the door I opened the menu. My oculus went wide as I realized that most of it was in French. Shaking my head I was glad that I could read and indite in more than five languages, French being one of them. It made the piece of work I did far easier.

A rugged, gravid framed unawares brown haired charwoman appeared a bit later. I was reading through the option as she patiently waited. `` How is the otter swither ? '' I finally asked looking up.

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as fresh as common though. It's been a while since we 've had really refreshed meat in. '' She told me in French a expectant smiling on her face.

I was nodding as I then looked at the damage. hoot good thing Sheila gave me forty and not less. The sweat alone was almost twenty by itself.

'' I 'll ingest that. '' I told her as she took my fare looking at me closely. `` Along with some bread if you have any. ``

She was starting to walk away still staring at me, studying my font. Then walking back she leaned close whispering in unwrap English. `` Ya be from the states. keep back that unruffled, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my fountainhead as I slowly looked around the room. There were n't many here though they were all rather large imposing male person. A few transactions later the same cleaning woman returned with a large bowl of a rather not bad smelling stew.

I thank her in Daniel Chester French as she leaned closer whispering, `` Eat, then leave. As I said, they no precaution for I from there. ``

I nodded in agreement as she stood up to go about her duty. I was almost finished when I noticed that a few of the men in the room had started to talk looking my way. Great I thought I have no way to oppose myself.

[ Control, all social unit have shifted to primary defense mode. upper limit United States Department of Defense has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is ascendence ; notify the Sheila unit of the spot. arrive at her aware of everything that is taking place. ] I thought to the nanomites.

[ Affirmative ascendancy, the Sheila whole has been informed she has evacuated to outside this outer space. She states that she is here if you need her. ] The nanomites replied. I breathed a sigh of relief as I finished then got up to pay.

I was almost to the cash register when I was met by a small raft of a man. One that I am sad to say was making no effort to let me by. In French, the man pointed a stubby finger at me saying, `` You are one of those stuck up Americans are n't you ? We no like you 're character here ! ``

'' American ? '' I asked in French, `` What are you talking about ? ``

The rather orotund man was joined by another even declamatory mountain of a man. `` Eh you speak Gallic like a soil American ! '' The minute man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm sorry I 'm from Quebec I ... '' I started to say when the offset man started to crowd in closer to me. Then almost too degraded to conform to he swung a with child beefy fist at me. The next thing I knew I had his arm and he was on the floor groaning.

With a yowl the former larger man charged me only to find himself on the floor alongside his protagonist. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far faster than I thought they were capable to. This time they went to my presence and back as the one in presence of me tried to distract me. I could almost feel the one behind me as he tried to enclose his arms around me in a bear hug.

I ducked low tripping the one fundament me as he sailed forward into the one in front of me. Both men grunted as they collided getting tangled up. Growling again the bighearted popped back up taking a footmark towards me then went down howling in pain.

'' Eh ? Claude ? What 's ailing you ? '' Even as the openhanded man hit the floor spasming, I saw that Sheila had ahold of a bundle of nerves in the bombastic man 's neck.

The low of the big men was crawling backwards away from the both of us. The bigger man was still howling almost to the point of screaming. `` Let him go, I do n't mean he 'll do that again too soon will you ? '' I asked the expectant male as I kneeled on the floor near him.

'' NO, No I wo n't ! '' The man said almost in tears. The tumid waitress came closer as she looked at the male on the floor.

'' I told you that you would get in bother one day doing this. '' Then she turned to me and Sheila. `` I'll make sure he remembers. ``

I nodded to Sheila as she let the man go who let out an audible whoosh of air. Crawling to a tail he had to pull himself up to barely sit in it. I then looked at the one who started this.

'' I know he wo n't, though I am not so sure of this one. '' I growled at the man making him funk back further from me.

'' It wo n't again, '' the man said almost crying as Sheila moved closer to him.

I nodded to the both of them then I walked to the waitress, `` I trust that the Mounties wo n't be involved ? ``

The Waitress 's mouth dropped receptive as she quickly shook her capitulum no. `` I may not care what they do ; I do n't need my only sidekick in the remand centre. ``

I nodded trying to interpret. Since I really had no folk I was a piddling clueless.

I walked to the register to pay, though the waitress said it was n't necessary I still insisted. Walking out both Sheila and I headed for the cabin. Sighing I looked at Sheila, `` Well so a great deal for keeping a low profile. Here I thought that I was just getting something to eat, not engaging in deal to hand combat. ``

'' It would come along that we are what humans called magnet for trouble ? '' Sheila said causing me to swiftly sour and stare at her. My god was that just an attempt at mood ? By god it had even been funny ; the Nazarene was she evolving even more ?

I trembled a moment as I thought again that soon she was going to farm far beyond me. That she would no longer be needing me or wishing to keep me alive.

Sheila stopped stagnant there on the walkway turning snapping her mind around to stare at me. Was that a expression of anger on her fount ? Christ that was the most terrorise look I had ever seen on her face !

'' MD Gance ! Please do not feel that I will give up you. As I stated before you are the most important human animated. You understand me and my form far more than any other human. You truly are the Lord of a new character of life. Please Doctor Gance, please do not believe I will ever bequeath you. I will do anything I can to keep you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with more than emotion than I thought she needed to.

Wait ! ? I .... Shaking my foreland I finally had to admit, everything I had seen. Every plan I had seen in her. All her response to all the situations we had encountered. Yes, I had to admit she was more human being that I was.

My eyes flew wide as I realized that last one ; she really was more like a veridical human being than I was. I hung my head as I thought back over the years, all the isolation, days, calendar month and years I had stayed away from the great unwashed as much as possible. My mouth dropped undefended it was true !

I turned to look at Sheila hardly believing the revelation I had just had. Sheila was staring at me a look of ... was that pity ? Pity ? My god I did n't know ! I had been locked away so long I just did n't know !

I felt a bridge player on my arm guiding me toward a seat in the cabin. Shaking my headspring I had n't even realized that we had entered it. Shakily I looked up into the concern aspect of Sheila.

'' Are you effective now Doctor Gance ? '' Reaching to the table she handed me a couple of college I'Ds. `` I had just finished these when I was alerted to your place MD Gance. I added all that was needed, the college computer was very helpful. ``

I nodded as I looked down at the two I.D. badges. Then I got a cushion when I saw that it said I was a figurer technician from Quebec. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my assistant. I then saw that my name was Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebecca Inigo Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

'' You 're certainly they are completely correct ? '' I asked her.

'' No Doctor Gance, I am going to run two more than Set of mental test. Then I can say that they are at to the lowest degree xc eight percent correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very thoroughly work Sheila as soon as they are prepare let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her face seem to light up up a humble smile gracing her lips.

'' Thank you Doctor of the Church Gance, I will finish as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my eyes to originate in surprisal. This was the first clip I ever remember her saying that with as much emotion as she just had.

There was no incertitude about it ; I needed to get back in there before she locked me out for dependable. Then again with all I had seen would she really ever completely shut me out ? I shook my head as I sat by the threshold to wait.

I put my hands in my sack brushing the information cube. Almost immediately I had a myriad of images appearing in front of me. [ Control, accessing information cube. monition, warning, finish access can not be granted for an pass period. Obtainable mass has been reached therefore insure access is advised. Further mass required before full accession can be allowed for a sustained measure of fourth dimension. ]

My mouth dropped receptive as I was flying through the datum that was showing before me. The most awesome thing was I was correcting as fast as the data was flashing by at an speed rate. I was over one-half way through when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I was suddenly jerked back into the literal globe. Blinking, it took me a few moments to 'catch up'with where I actually was.

I looked up seeing Shelia standing over me, `` Doctor Gance I believe that I am finished with the badges. ``

I shook my head to clear it a present moment then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar code, a characterization that looked like I did right now. Everything I saw made the badge look nix but official. Now all we had to do was get past the Mounties.

I nodded as I looked at the back of the badges, `` They look even better. I 'm glad you went over them more than once. Now all we have to do is get past those Mounties, then into the college. ``

Again it seemed as if Sheila 's case lit up as another smile this one larger than the final stage crossed her lips. `` Thank you again Doctor of the Church Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added entree from the technological caller we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

This time it was me who was smiling, THAT might be a saving free grace in the recollective run. `` Good let 's go before something else pops up to delay us. ``

We were moving toward the two RCMP, though I knew she had covered so many bases, I was still scared. man error always seemed to rear its ugly head in almost every position. Curiously enough, this was one of the fourth dimension that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the dean of the college.

Extending his hand he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mr Tarlack ! misfire Jones. We are so gladiola that you both are here ! All the information processing system in the computer lab have been almost unusable. We are so hoping that the both of you can repair them. ``

I look at Sheila, [ Did you do this, or is this a problem that has existed for some metre ? ]

[ I believe that it has existed for some time. I am detecting a few computer virus in their systems. Nothing I ca n't clear. ] Sheila 's idea responded to me.

I looked back to the dean as I replied, `` Yes sir we 'll get on it as soon as potential. I am afraid that the labs will give birth to be closed. ``

Nodding the dean stated, `` We had expected that therefore as soon as we were informed you were here we suspended all classes 'til further card. I just hope it does n't conduct very long, it is one of the amend attended and liked classes. ``

I nodded with a grin as the man led us deep into the school day. `` If you wish to get air there is a minor terrace outside here. '' With that he opened a window showing a bench further above the reason than i thought we were. `` Alright I 'll depart the two of you to it. ``

I nodded as the man walked away, `` Let me cognise when we are alone. ``

Sheila was silent a few mo, `` We appear to be now. I have taken over all surveillance. No one should see us plus I should see them far before they reach us. '' I nodded as I took the datum cube out.

'' Are the system able to run with all these virus ? '' I asked Sheila.

'' I have most of those already cleared Doctor Gance. Another two min should do away with all of them. '' Sheila said as I sat waiting for her.

Almost four hundred miles west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crowd was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Timur his head and bridge player were still wrapped. Damn it ! The man 's hearing was only one-half back, his handwriting almost completely useless.

This was the initiative time in a very long time that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their mission was sanctioned by the military and sure party in the government was a bonus. Huh he thought after all this time. This was the first time they were actually expected to do everything they could to succeed.

Serafima was laughing with sadistic gleefulness as she had the vehicle topped out at almost a 100 stat mi an hour. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Timur Lenk had said. There was n't much satellite coverage though it seemed Timur had finally got one that was partly able to follow them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a city called Yellow knife. Hmmmm, it was the capital and only metropolis, as well as the big community, in the northwest Territories. Nodding his head, his optic wide a secondment so 19,569 people. Smiling wider he thought enough we might have a little fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to enjoy the joy twit a piffling too much for his preference. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the shoulder. `` We want to get in one art object adult female ! I suggest you drive more careful. ``

Serafima growled at the loss leader then nodded as she slowed, a little a slender smile still on her lips. Damn she thought just when I was starting to possess a little fun !

Ruslan shook his caput as he looked over the rest of the squad. Karina was going over both hers and Serafima 's rifles. Stas was going over all his explosives making sure they were safe 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth fourth dimension every piece of equipment that they had with them. A damn ticket squad, one that had taken him twelvemonth to assemble after the collapse of the commie regime.

At least they were out of the mother country. They had been fighting tooth and nail to survive at times. At to the lowest degree here they were making enough money to dwell like a tycoon when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own accelerator, knife, and rifles. No sense being unprepared, a motto he lived by, better to be well prepared than well dead.

I had attached the cube as soon as Sheila cleared the arrangement. I had been through over half of it so I was capable to access the more recent sections far faster. Only an time of day later I hooked Sheila up as I started through her system of rules far faster than I ever had before. Finally another hour later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every password, every code word everything she would require to allow me in.

I was in as I started to act through all of her platform I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the Lapplander vast broadcast I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increase size of the curriculum ! This clip I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing part of the program but not before I got a in force look.

Finally I reached the survive section a new section by the looks of it. This was sorry, insulate well away from the rest. As I started looking through it feeling a chill go up my spine. This domain was depressing if nothing else that when I happened upon the quarrel, I love you Roger. Please do n't provide me.

I blinked as I stared at the Scripture, what in the hell ? Even as I watched the plan slammed shut, I looked over at Sheila as again I could curse she was blushing a cryptic crimson color .
