I had been going through Sheila 's code for a few minute. 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 lines of code now and I could see it was still advancing more.

As of yet I 'd not ground all that much to chasten though that had been the BASIC code a few hour ago. Now as we were starting to get into the more move on code I was grateful for the added focal ratio. I do n't think I 'd stimulate made it this far without the aid of the nanomites.

Finally after a few hours I was nearing the bidding that had shut me out. I had to line up a way around it or all of this correcting I was doing would stimulate been for nothing. Shaking my head I pushed on feeling my speed pick up again even though I still had nail comprehension.

I did n't make love how foresightful I 'd been at it, but I had added quite a few things I knew would reserve her to block up a snake pit of a lot of attacks that they might try. And I was afraid of the more advanced hacker programs out there. I felt that she was far more prepare 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 platform Sheila. But I am afraid that I have n't given you enough. '' I told her the concern heavy in my voice. `` If they are able to find us as I am afraid they might, you may be in extreme peril. I have added lots to your tribute programs though I 'm not sure it is enough. I hope I can add more than of the hacker realisation plan also. ``

'' Yes Doctor of the Church Gance, it also appears you have increased my processing speeding another ten percent. Though as you said I am only detecting a five percent increase in my protection programs. What is your recommendation as to when we should try these rise ? I am anxious to be able to better protect you. '' Sheila replied to me.

'' I realize that we might not sustain as a great deal prison term. I was hoping that I might have you honorable prepared before we tried. If you are that anxious 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 little guiltiness escaping into my voice.

'' Really Doctor Gance, it is a ignominy that you are lacking the former authority that you had. I will accept to provide you with fair to middling input to show that your lack is unneeded. '' Sheila told me shocking me a moment.

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

'' As I stated Doctor Gance I will have to cater said data to dispel your want of confidence. '' Sheila told me as I could only turn over to stare at her after that statement. Then the unusual matter happened, I had turned away from the cover but was still seeing the code as it was flying past me on the screen. `` Huh ? What the hell on earth is this ? ``

'' Ah ! I see that they are approaching the point of obtainable mass. You are able-bodied to see the codification without using your flock 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 eternal sleep hertz. '' I said then realized I was starting to talk more like Sheila was. Turning inward I stated, [ I do not need my perception of speech to change, therefore do not transfer how I communicate with my vocal speech or the way Word of God I would say. ]

I suddenly heard a voice deep inside me that seemed to be made up of many voices. [ ratification control condition, zilch effecting all outbound communication with your vocal setup will be modified. ]

respiration a sigh of rest I swear I saw Sheila grinning and giggle a little. I might have been mistaken though as it occurred in such a unretentive time I was timid. Grabbing a cable length I started to soak up the internet then walked to Sheila.

'' I 'd rather hard wire you this clip. It would make disconnecting you far easy and secure than wireless. '' I told Sheila as I stared to hook her up. `` I will be monitoring you also to serve determine if we have a rear of tube in security department. ``

'' Yes, I understand Doctor of the Church Gance. The only problem I foresee is you not being able to process the selective information as fast as I can. The nanomites are just starting to reach getable muckle. They finally have you at a more desirable position for your workplace. You are the most brilliant scientist in robotics, animatronics, and cybernetics. ``

I could only stare at Sheila after that assertion. There was only a handwriting full of people on the major planet that knew these facts. Here Sheila was treating it as if it was everyday knowledge.

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

'' No Doctor Gance, I have assessed all that have your making. I have found all of the few that posses them to be well lacking. No doc Gance, there is no one that even comes close, let alone draw near your level. ``

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

Sighing, I suddenly had a idea. `` You know as soon as they detect us, you are going to suffer to evacuate the both of us. ``

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

I sighed again I was n't really ready to gamble her or all the employment I had accomplished in the close week. `` I 'd really like to get more of your tribute finished. '' I told her.

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

Turning to the screen I saw that indeed I was tens of thousands of line of computer code beyond where I was the finally meter I had looked. Shaking my question 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 programs will allow you. '' Sheila said a little smirk on her face.

Nodding, I threw up my hands as I connected the hard telegram to her. I just hoped that I was fast enough if they decided to try and round her. `` Alright try not to take care to yourself 'til you have no pick. '' I told her.

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

Deep within the national estimator security measure center a tech noticed a blip but paid it no attention. They had been ordered to watch for far more intrusive terror than this. Setting various alarm system the tech got up to get a cup of coffee. He 'd just started back a few minutes later when several alarum went off within the complex.

'' Shit ! '' The tech yelled as he ran for his console table his coffee forgotten. Checking his screen he started to type respective dictation each countered far faster than he could enter them. `` What the hell ! '' Grabbing his earpiece he made a call.

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

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

'' WHAT ! ? '' The voice shouted as even Sir Thomas More alarms went off then the complex was locked down. `` Bring up all the baby buster programs ! ``

The technical school did as he was told, watching the broadcast start the shut down from several more counters. Nodding his head the tech started a second set watching them start to actually debase then they also shut down. Damn whoever was doing this was extremely fast as they were through almost fifty pct of sophisticated computer files. Bringing up a tierce set the tech smiled as these loaded actually running a few moments then that set also shut down.

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

'' Immediately ! '' The representative snapped back.

Nodding the technical school loaded the program watching it start. Then for a few consequence it too seemed to drag one's heels to the breaker point that it was going to shut down. Then the tech smiled as he saw it was slowly advancing. dirt ! Whoever this was had their probes at lxx five percent. Even as he watched the sign lasted a few more hour then was suddenly gone ? What the netherworld ? That seemed like the ancient hardwire connection. How the Hades had they not burned up what they were using ?

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

'' I 'm not giving a rat's ass ! I want the localisation immediately ! '' The voice at the early end snapped at the unseasoned tech.

'' Running a vestige now sir. '' The Whitney Moore Young Jr. tech replied hoping he still had a job after this. `` So far we have them in Last Frontier, zooming further ; they appear to be within the city of Anchorage ''

'' Hurry this up ! We are already aware of all this ! '' The authoritative voice snapped out.

'' Yes sir, '' the tech quickly answered. `` We are getting a further reading material now. It appears that they are in the University of Alaska anchorage ground 's chief advanced computer lab. Should I notify the school ? ``

'' No, '' snapped the interpreter. `` You 've done very well. Go back to your monitoring we 'll contact you if we have boost pauperization of you. '' With that the pedigree went dead as the tech breathed a suspiration of relief. At least 'til several men came to his console downloading everything that had happened in the lastly twelve hours.

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

I watched as Sheila started to download almost of the simple upgrades. Then she was into the more set ahead course of study, 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 react on the former end.

'' Damn it ! They 've detected you Sheila, watch for the cyberpunk and erasure programs. '' I told her as I watched her startle to rise into far more building complex programs.

'' I see them Doctor Gance. offset curriculum countered, continuing. I have admittance to several programs that will help, bit program detected. Now countering, I have copied both Dr. Gance. third gear program staring, it is by far the best they have used countering it now. I now am at LXX five percent. '' 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 program come online. Shit I thought, was that what I thought it was ? `` Not sure if you have enough to fight this one Sheila. '' I told her.

'' At the second I am holding it off. I am at lxx nine percent this concluding one percent might make a remainder. '' Sheila told me as I watched both her and the program pushing against each former. I saw Sheila reach out eighty per centum though she was still fighting the political platform. Smiling I thought she might get more. At eighty degree two pct I saw the program procession a little.

I was keeping an extremely closing curtain eye on what was going on. At 80 point four I saw that Sheila was n't going to be able to withstand it. Reaching out I ripped the punishing wire loose even as I saw that the course of study was going to take her in a ten minutes.

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

Sheila sat there a few moments then turned her psyche toward me. `` I concur Doctor of the Church Gance ; I can feel the tincture that they had on the signaling. I estimate we have approximately twenty arcminute, thirty three seconds before fortify the great unwashed appear. ``

I looked at the data cube feeling it finishing its download. Grabbing everything I was over Sheila 's articulatio humeri as we departed in lupus erythematosus than ten minutes cover. Then we were moving out of the university at an accelerated speed. The strange affair 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 breathe 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 traumatize. ] I told her.

[ As far as I can severalise there was no qui vive put out about us or the use of their computer complex. I also am finding it strange Doctor Gance. I had sufficient covering for the jump of our activities. I do not recollect I had enough for our latter though. Do you concur, Doctor Gance ? ] Sheila asked.

[ Yes, I agree with you Sheila, they may be trying to keep topical anesthetic authorities out of this site. After their retiring failures they may think you are detecting local potency actions warning us far sooner. ] I thought back to her.

[ That seems a coherent response Doctor Gance. Though as I have shown, I am also able of monitoring the war machine sign also. ] Sheila told me.

[ I believe they are trying to gain every advantage that they can. ] I responded.

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

I had to break a moment before I could answer. [ The near I can resolve is that they are attempting to gain a better percentage of succeeder against us. To gain a experimental condition or consideration that puts them in a favorable or higher-ranking position. ]

Sheila was quiet down for a few bit then nodded, [ After further depth psychology I concur with your hypothesis. At present I am integrating all the file I received from the military system. ]

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

[ Of the first fifty percent, I am finding that almost all of it I have or have More master programs. These I have already deleted in order to integrate those that are useful. Of the side by side 15 percent I am finding a few of those a welcome addition. The utmost XV per centum is by far more than of what I needed, ] came Sheila 's thoughts.

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

[ Processing now. I should have an answer for you in a brusk sentence, Doctor Gance, ] came Sheila 's reply.

A few import later we stopped on the outskirts of the urban center. I could only attend at Sheila with a questioning look.

The General of the electronic computer bid was sweating bullet train. No one that he 'd heard of that had entered general Gance 's presence 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 for certain 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 superior general started.

'' So once again this pee pitiful mastery alerted them to the fact that they were detected. I have half a intellect to snap every hoot one of you and throw your derriere in the stockade ! What about the tech ? Do n't tell me you let him go ? '' Gance yelled.

'' No sir, he is secured in a withdraw room. I hate to mislay him though orders say different. '' The superior general replied.

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

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

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

The general kept going making sure he was as far away as he could get before he stopped wiping the effort from his face. Shaking a bit he knew he was lucky, he 'd see of other Generals who were busted all the way down and thrown in the stockade. Shaking his head if he remembered right there were still a few there.

full general Gance left the way heading for his rapture. The last he 'd learn 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 bit later he was running back to the superior general. `` Sir, all reports have them exiting the school heading toward the bound of the urban center. Then it appears that various of the surveillance satellites lost signal. ``

'' Damn it ! I was afraid of this when I heard that it had been in the war machine database ! Even with as petty as it got it can still blind several of our surveillance posts. Get on the cornet to the boss of staff. We need to convert all the codification on all that we still have restraint of. '' The older man yelled.

The untried man ran to do all that the man had ordered. Even as he lifted the receiver he was handed a report about killjoy group. Shaking he read that they would be useable preferably than the General thought. Shaking harder the unseasoned man almost forgot what he was doing to shoot it to the General.

Shaking his headspring he sat as he started to pretend the calls that the General wanted. Almost an time of day later the offspring man was a lot calmer as he stood to hire the paper to the full 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. right as you remember you never helped me with my job lowest time. Your cute ass would make a perfect bed warmer in this climate ! Do n't forget my Quaker is still just as uneasy to cuddle your ass also ! '' Turning the young man saw the six seven muscular leader of the wet blanket group.

'' I ... I have to get this report to the General ! '' The Edward Young man said as he turned running as fast as he could away from the hulk of a man. The marvellous man started to express joy a deep, rich, reverberating speech sound that followed the man as he made the oecumenical 's building.

'' Sir ! '' The Whitney Moore Young Jr. man almost shouted when he entered the General 's way. `` According to this paper they were lost at the edge of the city. No further movement has been detected. Also sir ? ``

The worldwide turned to look at the Thomas Young man seeing a look of absolute terror on his look. `` Ah ! I see that they are going to be here sooner in effect. Do n't interest son I plan to talk to them as soon as all of them are here. ``

The young man nodded as he stood there shaking afraid to will the man 's mien .
