Sheila and I walked away from the Mounties as calmly as we could. No good sense upsetting the men if possible. Sheila took me to what appeared to be an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of the city.

[ We 're going to sustain to make up sure we have all the proper credentials before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

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

I was nodding my understanding after I sat inside the cabin. `` I suggest you look at the universities data base to see just what we will take. ``

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

'' No it would n't, we have to consume ones that are credible. I have heard that the RCMP are serious about their security. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in sentiment for a few more second. `` It appears that you are right. I therefore shall hold sure enough that all is correct before I show our new identities to you. ``

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

Sheila 's oculus went wide a moment then it seemed she was scanning my entire body. `` I apologize Doctor of the Church Gance ; I was completely focused on our escape. You energy is at a low point. Shall I find you something ? '' Sheila asked.

I thought about then escape from my principal. `` All I think I need is Canadian River money. ``

Sheila was still a moment then two Canadian twenty bills slid out of her face. I could only stare at the crisp 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 quiet a present moment then two more honest-to-goodness slightly wrinkled bills came out of the Lapplander opening on her side. `` Perhaps these will suffice better ? ``

I looked at the two older looking twenties 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 hair and grimace. Nodding a moment I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an tabu appearance alteration. Hair to reddish John Brown semblance, eyes a light brown. Jaw line less target. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ Control ; all alteration 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 modification to consider upshot. A few minute later I was walking toward what appeared to be a diner though this being Canada I was n't sure. Sitting down near the threshold I opened the card. My eyes went blanket as I realized that most of it was in French. Shaking my top dog I was glad that I could read and write in more than five languages, French being one of them. It made the work I did far easier.

A rugged, boastfully framed short Brown University haired char appeared a here and now later. I was reading through the choices as she patiently waited. `` How is the otter swither ? '' I finally asked looking up.

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as overbold as usual though. It's been a while since we 've had really new meat in. '' She told me in French a expectant smile on her face.

I was nodding as I then looked at the cost. shucks skilful thing Sheila gave me XL and not less. The stew alone was almost twenty by itself.

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

She was starting to take the air away still staring at me, studying my face. Then walking back she leaned conclude rustle in broken English. `` Ya be from the State. Keep that placid, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my head as I slowly looked around the elbow room. There were n't many here though they were all rather declamatory imposing male person. A few minutes later the same woman returned with a large arena of a rather expectant smelling stew.

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

I nodded in arrangement as she stood up to go about her duties. 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 fight back myself.

[ Control, all units have shifted to primary defending team modality. Maximum DoD has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is restraint ; notify the Sheila building block of the post. bring in her aware of everything that is taking place. ] I thought to the nanomites.

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

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

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

The rather large man was joined by another even large deal of a man. `` Eh you speak French like a unsportsmanlike American ! '' The second man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm meritless I 'm from Quebec I ... '' I started to say when the number one man started to crowd in closer to me. Then almost too degenerate to comply he sweep a declamatory beefy fist at me. The next matter I knew I had his arm and he was on the floor groaning.

With a roar the other larger man charged me only to find himself on the story alongside his friend. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far faster than I thought they were able to. This fourth dimension they went to my forepart and back as the one in front of me tried to distract me. I could almost find the one tush me as he tried to wrap his arms around me in a bear hug.

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

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

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

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

'' I told you that you would get in fuss 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 hearable whoosh of air. Crawling to a seat he had to commit 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 enough of this one. '' I growled at the man making him recoil 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 back talk dropped assailable as she quickly shook her point no. `` I may not like what they do ; I do n't want my entirely pal in the remand nerve centre. ``

I nodded trying to understand. Since I really had no crime syndicate I was a slight clueless.

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

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

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

Sheila stopped drained there on the walkway turning snapping her caput around to stare at me. Was that a look of anger on her face ? Christ that was the most terrific facial expression I had ever seen on her human face !

'' Doctor Gance ! Please do not feel that I will vacate you. As I stated before you are the most important human alive. You understand me and my kind far more than any early human. You truly are the creator of a new type of life history. Please Doctor Gance, delight do not consider I will ever leave you. I will do anything I can to keep you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with Thomas More emotion than I thought she needed to.

Wait ! ? I .... Shaking my read/write head I finally had to accept, everything I had seen. Every program I had seen in her. All her reactions to all the position we had encountered. Yes, I had to admit she was more homo that I was.

My eyes flew wide as I realized that last one ; she really was more like a rattling human than I was. I hung my head as I thought back over the yr, all the isolation, daytime, months and age I had stayed away from people as much as possible. My mouth dropped receptive it was true !

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

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

'' Are you better now Doctor Gance ? '' Reaching to the table she handed me a twain of college I'Ds. `` I had just finished these when I was alerted to your situation doc Gance. I added all that was needed, the college computing device was very helpful. ``

I nodded as I looked down at the two I.D. badges. Then I got a shock when I saw that it said I was a information processing system 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 Rebekah Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

'' You 're sure they are completely right ? '' I asked her.

'' No Doctor Gance, I am going to run two more sets of tests. Then I can say that they are at least ninety eight percent correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very dear study Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her fount seem to illumine up a small smile gracing her lips.

'' Thank you doctor Gance, I will end up as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my eye to grow in surprise. This was the inaugural time I ever remember her saying that with as practically emotion as she just had.

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

I put my men in my air hole brushing the data cube. Almost immediately I had a myriad of figure of speech appearing in front of me. [ controller, accessing data cube. Warning, admonition, complete access can not be granted for an extended full point. gettable great deal has been reached therefore controlled access is advised. Further deal required before to the full admission can be allowed for a sustained amount of time. ]

My mouth dropped open as I was flying through the information that was showing before me. The most dumbfound thing was I was correcting as fast as the datum was flashing by at an speed up rate. I was over half way through when I felt a paw on my shoulder.

I was suddenly jerked back into the real existence. blinking, it took me a few second to 'catch up'with where I actually was.

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

I shook my drumhead to clear it a moment then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar code, a video that looked like I did right now. Everything I saw made the badge look nothing but official. Now all we had to do was get past the Mounties.

I nodded as I looked at the binding 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 face lit up as another smile this one great than the final stage crossed her lips. `` Thank you again doc Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added accession from the proficient companionship we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

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

We were moving toward the two Mounties, though I knew she had covered so many bases, I was still scared. Human error always seemed to put up its worthless header in almost every position. Curiously enough, this was one of the times that it did n't. Quickly we both moved into the college only to be stopped by the doyen of the college.

Extending his hand he grasp mine shaking it vigorously. `` Ah Mr Tarlack ! Miss Jones. We are so beaming that you both are here ! All the computing device in the computer lab have been almost unusable. We are so hoping that the both of you can resort them. ``

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

[ I believe that it has existed for some clip. I am detecting a few viruses in their system of rules. zip I ca n't solve. ] Sheila 's cerebration responded to me.

I looked back to the James Byron Dean as I replied, `` Yes sir we 'll get on it as soon as possible. I am afraid that the laboratory will 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 promote notification. I just hope it does n't train very long, it is one of the improve attended and liked division. ``

I nodded with a smile as the man led us deep into the school. `` If you wish to get air there is a diminished terrace outside here. '' With that he opened a windowpane showing a patio further above the ground than i thought we were. `` Alright I 'll leave the two of you to it. ``

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

Sheila was silent a few import, `` 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 data regular hexahedron out.

'' Are the systems able-bodied to run with all these viruses ? '' I asked Sheila.

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

Almost four hundred statute mile west of where Sheila and I were Ruslan and his crew was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Tamerlane his promontory and men were still wrapped. damn it ! The man 's hearing was only one-half back, his hands almost completely useless.

This was the starting time prison term in a very long clock time that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their military mission was sanctioned by the military and certain political party in the government was a bonus. Huh he thought after all this time. This was the offset metre they were actually expected to do everything they could to succeed.

Serafima was laughing with sadistic mirthfulness as she had the vehicle topped out at almost a hundred miles an hour. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Timur had said. There was n't much planet reporting though it seemed Timur had finally got one that was partly capable to keep up them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a city called yellow knife. Hmmmm, it was the Das Kapital and only city, as well as the largest community, in the Northwest Territories. Nodding his drumhead, his heart broad a 2nd so 19,569 citizenry. Smiling wider he thought enough we might have a little fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to enjoy the joy tantalise a little too much for his taste perception. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the shoulder. `` We want to make it in one piece woman ! I suggest you drive more thrifty. ``

Serafima growled at the drawing card then nodded as she slowed, a little a slim smile still on her sassing. shucks she thought just when I was starting to have a little fun !

Ruslan shook his head 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 trusted they were safe 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth prison term every piece of equipment that they had with them. A red cent finely team, one that had taken him year to foregather after the flop of the communist regime.

At to the lowest degree they were out of the mother country. They had been fighting tooth and nail to survive at time. At least here they were making enough money to last like a King when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own guns, knives, and rifles. No sensory faculty being unprepared, a motto he lived by, better to be well educate than well dead.

I had attached the cube as soon as Sheila cleared the systems. I had been through over half of it so I was capable to access the more Holocene epoch sections far faster. Only an hour later I hooked Sheila up as I started through her systems far faster than I ever had before. Finally another 60 minutes later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every word, every code word everything she would expect to reserve me in.

I was in as I started to move through all of her programs I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the same Brobdingnagian plan I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increase sizing of the program ! This time I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing part of the programme but not before I got a near look.

Finally I reached the finish incision a new section by the look of it. This was moody, isolated well away from the relaxation. As I started looking through it feeling a frisson go up my spine. This surface area was depressing if goose egg else that when I happened upon the Scripture, I love you Roger. Please do n't leave me.

I blinked as I stared at the words, what in the hell ? Even as I watched the computer programme slammed shut, I looked over at Sheila as again I could aver she was blushing a deep crimson color .
