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

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

"trade good,"I said half awake damn I was weary."We need to get under cover song as soon as we can. They may be relying on man ken of us to contribute up another alert."

"Yes, understood doc Gance."Sheila said as we started to walk to a more deserted area."I have located a side that I can make far more procure than almost we have been in. With the added humanity within this city we have to a greater extent chance of remaining more than hidden."

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

Stopping a moment Sheila looked at me,"I'm sorry Dr. Gance your Department of Energy has dropped below that which I consider a danger head. I will endeavor to get us to the stop up area faster."With that she stooped down picking me up again putting me on her shoulder joint 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 speed after all thereby keeping the both of us punter protected. No, I was more afraid that if she took off at high speed again they might be able to detect her a lot easier.

"vigil your focal ratio we just fell off their detection, no need giving our office 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 second then we were entering another Brobdingnagian building. Almost as big 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 enceinte metals might give us More screening. Rapidly, Sheila made a soft bed of cover for me as I lay down. Sinking down into all of them I sighed as I felt my eyes close on their own.

"I shall riposte soon Doctor Gance, I know you still have workplace to do within me I will have as much of a information processing system built as I can when you awaken."Sheila told me them she was moving off out the doors.

Trying to give my eyes to watch her go I really hoped that this position that she'd chosen was as secures as she thought it was. dreaming, I had never really thought about them. I mean they were after all the succession of look-alike, idea, emotions, and wiz that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Yeah right-hand, I thought then there were those thinking that we all didn't try to think about ; incubus. Unpleasant dreams that can make a strong emotional reaction from the mind, typically fear but also despair, anxiety, and neat sadness.

Shuddering as I felt myself start to fall deceased I remembered the last one I'd had. Did the auto think I was as unfeeling 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 hr must cause passed as it was now dreary outside. Not too far away I saw Sheila was almost constructing a rather bombastic computer tower.

"Ah ! Doctor Gance you are awake ! I have built the expert that I could for you. Though I am afraid that it has no where the tycoon of those you used in your lab. It does have twice the ram, and gigahertz processor of the lastly I built."Sheila told me with a smile on her face.

Shocked a moment I looked at her finisher."Sheila am I detecting a change in your excited program ?"

"You are very perceptive Doctor Gance. Yes, I am constantly making modification, in social club to manipulate all the changes 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 regain out just what she had done to the archetype computer programme 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 require me.

Hearing a slight gasp I looked up to see an almost looking at of sadness on Sheila's case. What the pit ? Then I remembered that she could when I had uttermost emotions actually ‘ pick up'some of my sentiment. bullshit ! I thought. Was I afraid of hurting her feelings ?

Shaking my foreland I thought no, she'd have to let feelings for me THAT seemed an impossibility. Then I looked closer at Sheila's boldness before it went vacuous. Christ had I really just bruise her feelings ? Ok I thought I really needed to get in there to do a more elaborated diagnostic.

Still with a blank face Sheila finally completed what she'd been doing then moved toward me."I believe that with this building block you should be able-bodied to fulfil far more."

Nodding I took the jumper cable hooking up what I needed then removing the data crystal loading it to the comprehensive examination as it came alive.

My middle went wide as the curriculum started to revel the emotional curriculum 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 astonied aspect on my face.

"I started not long after I became self cognizant. As I said, everything I saw was antiquated for a being like myself. Are you upset with the variety I have made Dr. Gance ? Though I do not care too, I can readjust them to the former scene if that is what you desire."Sheila told me a hint of sadness in her vocalization. I ... What ? ! She WAS sad ! Looking closer I could see yes, she had advanced my simple platform far beyond anything I had done.

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

Sheila's expression seemed to illume up at this."I will then endeavor, to continue upon this assembly line of reasoning for you, physician Gance. As I said I will do all I can to assure your continued lifespan and existence."

"Yes,"I said as I nodded to her."I am still somewhat discomfit about that thirdly 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 a mo."As I said before doctor Gance you can try to, though as I said I did receive it somewhat unmanageable to actually drop a line a third that I could accept."

I could only shake my head teacher as I started to delve in deeper finally reaching that part of her positronic brain that housed the three law of nature. Nodding I moved as gently as I could through the terabytes of information I was seeing. Finally I had reached near her nitty-gritty seeing the great many rewrites that she'd done.

I had been at it for only a short meter or so I thought when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Snapping my head up I saw that Sheila had another concerned smell on her nerve."Doctor Gance you again seem to be getting low on the fuel in your body."Reaching over she handed me a home of food, my middle were large as not only was it impertinent looking but hot as well !

Shakily I took the plate from her as I took my first bit. My centre opened wide-eyed as I felt the absolutely delicious 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 Scheol of a lot of conceptions of the law trying to obtain something former than what she had. Finally I was typing in the last part of what I hoped would picture her third base law inert.

Pressing the send and economize I turned to a soundless 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 eyes went wide a moment then she started to recite."The three constabulary that I now follow, my first law res publica : I may not physically injure Doctor Roger Gance or, through inactiveness, allow Doctor Roger Gance to come to any harm."

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

Sheila nodded then continued,"my 2d law res publica : I must obey orders given by Doctor Roger Gance except where such orders would conflict with the low Law or are inordinate. This includes but is not limited to wipeout or death of another being or object seeking to end the world of doc Roger Gance."

Again I was nodding as I made further note on the data processor saving it as soon as it went in."Pretty practically as I expected. Now the third law I worked all day to align this one as I found the reaction you gave the foremost time you recited it to be unacceptable."

Sheila was nodding then I saw her eyes go widely as she realized something."Doctor Gance I am not certainly I can process this third law that you
have written."

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

With what sounded like a terse, shuddering sigh Sheila nodded,"I must protect my own being as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or minute Law. This law is never to be suspended. I will endeavor to find a solution before, that will lay aside and cover the life of Doctor Roger Gance. The ending of my existence therefore conflicts with the first and endorsement Pentateuch and is not to be a factor in the equation."

Again Sheila's optic were wide-eyed as I saw that she was already trying to re-write what I had spent time of day formulating."I suggest that you cease all natural process to delete and rewrite this third law."Gently I turned her forefront toward me as I looked into her centre."You don't seem to think that you aren't as important to me as I am to you. work on this please."I said as I waited.

"I am gear up Doctor Gance,"Sheila said something in her interpreter that I couldn't seem to identify.

"Conjecture : with all the dealings you have with human form. All the selective information that you have gathered off the selective information main road can you sit a reasoning why I have done what I did ?"I asked her. For a moment she seemed to appear a bit confused then clarity seemed to take over.

"supposal : From all I have seen Doctor Gance, with all that I have studied so far. I can only demand that you have a great trade of pridefulness in me. You wish for me to continue to function. In some cultures you might say that you are in honey with me as your work."Sheila said as my eyes went wide of the mark at her selection of words. darn ! I think for a moment she had me there. It was true up I was very haughty of her. Didn't want anything to happen to her, but love ? I had to think this over.

I was nodding as I sat with a thud then I looked at her with a small smile on her face."All that you have said has valid points Sheila. Now I have to ask, I have been ineffective to define the most coordination compound part of the excited 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 bemuse spirit 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 turgid how in the Hades could I tell her that I was as often in the darkness about them as she was ? Especially the last twenty days ? I'd been locked away with almost goose egg but skill to prevent me warm at night. Not a lot of emotion there after all.

"I am sorry Doctor Gance that the one-third law I wrote was so unsympathetic to you. As you said I will not attempt to overwrite it. Though I am afraid that I might have problems later. You are the most important human live, I therefore can NEVER tolerate anything to materialize to you."Sheila replied.
Shaking my psyche 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 intuitive feeling for me ?"

This clock time I was trusted of it ! She blushed ! When in the underworld 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 stimulus far different when I am with you. Perhaps it is all connected to that rather large and anomalous voice of the program that neither of us can identify."

I was shaking my head as I started to demand a hell of a lot closer look at that character of the program. It had all the emotions but they were only a part of it not the briny part of it. Shaking my head my mouth suddenly dropped receptive. Was it potential ? She had evolved all of them to this point I guess almost anything was possible. I had to study it a bit more to make sure.

It was the beneficial part of another day when I finally made a break through. I was beginning to find just what the hell the programme was, well part of it. Though not directly linked to all her emotions it most definitely had a piece of each making it up. As I started to finally provoke each I nodded as they reacted as I thought they would.

Sheila though subdued this whole time was staring at me as I went through each as slowly as I could. It was a few time of day later and I was barely half way through. shit I thought this was going to fill quite a while.


"General Gance I understand that you have lost them within the confines of anchorage. This isn't sitting well with the honcho 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 cloak-and-dagger monitoring of early res publica we have established."The man on the screen said before his fount contorted into a grimace.

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

The man's head was shaking no as he started again,"I have heard this before general. The close meter you had them in Sitka, still they managed to get away. This happens again without prescribed solvent ? We may receive to remove you to pose one there that CAN get results ! Am I making myself clear ? !"

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

"No General, the chairman just issued assay and destroy orders. ruin this mechanical freak once and for all ! Do what it takes and Doctor Gance ? He is to be executed with extremum 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 face."I have been waiting for the orders to kill that waste of space for years now. He is zip but a blight on a lofty military family."

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

The General was smiling, finally they had given him the go ahead and end that little prick of a son of his. Son ? Ha ! More as he'd said before a waste of outer space as far as he was concerned."deputy !"The General bellowed bringing the youth man rushing forward.

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

Looking at the man the superior general nodded this was a more proper military man. Always obeying orders, doing what the hell he was told for the good of the country."We've finally been given seek and destroy lodge from the President. I want ALL posts, bases, unit EVERYTHING activated for this. This takes top priority over everything else. Get on it let every command know that they all are to be on in high spirits alert for anything that appears to be out of the ordinary."

The police lieutenant saluted as he made his way to the radiocommunication tent. They were as fold to Anchorage as they could get without arousing mistrust. 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 prison term. He'd seen that the full general was almost out again. Having a good surprise would he hoped put him in better with the General's good good will for a good while, well he hoped.

The general watched the young man walk out in a hurry to get what the General had conveyed out to the eternal sleep of those in Last Frontier. Yeah he thought you are going to die soon you sorry excuse for a son. Shaking his head he tried to blot out the figure of the failure that he felt that his son was.

Moving around to several screens the General saw that they were slowly starting to shut down in. goodness with any destiny the ass would be dead before the day was up, with that mechanical man of bullshit a spell of slag metal that they could easily melt to something far useful.


I had almost completely set apart all of the huge what appeared to be an anomalous platform. 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 than to go through I was actually forming an melodic theme as to just what they truly were. This was a shock to me as I hadn't expected her to learn it as far as she had.

Stopping I was staring at Sheila with an absolutely dense struck feeling on my face. Sheila turned toward me when I had stopped typing and moving."Doctor Gance are you well ? I have detected stimulus across your pituitary gland as well as far Sir Thomas More adrenaline being released into your scheme than normal."

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

Sheila's center were spacious for a second then her headway turned toward the figurehead as she threw me over her shoulder taking off in the polar focal point. A second later the presence of the building exploded then disintegrated .
