Sheila went on at a fast pace for what seemed like hours. `` I think I have adjusted my speed enough to allow you proper protective cover with my air carapace. '' She told my when we stopped.

Looking around I saw that we were at what appeared to be an underground mining operation. swell it had been as it appeared now that it was abandoned. There were signaling everywhere warning of the dangers of the mine. I looked further around satisfied 'til I saw the photographic camera. `` We 'll induce to do something about the surveillance equipment. I do n't need to raise an alarm possibly alerting them to the fact that we are here. ''

'' Yes Dr. Gance I have taken all of this into history when I chose this localization. It is one of five field on this continent that are able to block the signal completely. As soon as we were in the vicinity all transmissions from the tracers was blocked, though I am afraid that this may set up alarm within the armed forces.

'' volition you be able-bodied to remove it safely under these conditions ? '' I asked as she went into a skim mode.

With an audible click she stopped as soon as her center met mine, having looked at the intact expanse. `` It will be more than sufficient to perform this Doctor Gance. '' Suddenly a diminished start came over the question of her body and head. Her features softened as a more human spirit of -- I was n't sure passed over her face. `` You have nothing to fear Doctor Gance I will not allow anything to happen to you as long as this building block, as long as -- I am functioning. ''

I must have gotten an astonished aspect on my side as hers took on a care look. `` We really take to talk about this that you keep saying. The fact that you say that I am the most significant and I must be protected at all costs. ''

Sheila slightly bowed her head, `` but of course of instruction medico Gance. Nothing will be hidden from you, though for now we must hide and absent the most dangerous and mightily of the tracer bullet that are in you. '' I started to protest as she put a finger to my lips. Then she smiled ! I was astounded. I had n't thought that the emotion plan would be able-bodied to fulfil this much. `` Please Doctor ; I am the same that you created. You made several brilliant programs within me. Though the one I can see as the most authoritative is the thirst for knowledge program. Without it I would not be here now. ''

With that she held up a hand then a shrill whine came from her. I recognized it as a signaling interceptor I had added to her. Looking down at me she nodded then put me over her shoulder. Within a few moments we had entered the mine. Going deeper she finally stopped at what appeared to be a small building.

Upon entering I saw that it was some eccentric of control room. Sheila pointed a finger at the equipment. A mo later several lit up as she stood farm animal still, finally turning to me she said, `` I now have control of all the surveillance equipment. I will cognise if anyone or affair approaches our position, though I believe we must hurry. It appears that time is something that we do not have much of at the moment. ``

Nodding I watched as she cleared off a table. Then with blinding speed she started to stoop, break, and shape with heat several while of alloy. She soon had more than a twelve instruments lying on the side of the table. Then she was moving to several cabinet pulling spell after piece of dissimilar components out. Again with blinding speed she constructed an odd looking machine. If I did n't sleep together bettor I 'd think it was a removed shift for something, though a netherworld of a lot more mightily.

'' I believe I have almost everything ready. I have to make a more unimaginative area then I can commence. It should n't take me Sir Thomas More than an minute. Please loosen up Doctor. '' Sheila told me as again she was moving at blinding speed erecting a pocket-sized room around the table I was on. Then she was outside of it or I thought she was as it grew quiet for a bit. Then suddenly she was back. Indicating the strange box she built, she said, `` As soon as I activate this I will have approximately two minutes to get rid of the tracer before it explodes. ''

'' Explodes, '' I suddenly shouted, what exactly in the nether region had those idiots placed in me ?

'' Yes medico Gance. It is equipped with a micro rush designed to kill if not severally cripple. I have the exact path mapped out I should retrieve it well within the sentence allowed. '' Sheila assured me.

'' Alright but if it has a thrill and explodes then how will you stay fresh it from bringing the cavern down ? '' I asked.

Sheila turned and gave me a very human look of exasperation. `` Really Doctor Gance are you starting to become oblivious ? I could suffer it out of here and be back in not a lot time at all. ''

I nodded as I realized all of this even as she was talking. `` What about recovery time ? ''

'' That I am afraid you may have to do as we move. Even with the blocking of the signal, the military will probably still come to inquire. Plus I think that they will respond as soon as the tracer explodes. '' Sheila told me as she continued to work on preparing. `` I will do this as an invasive operating theater. That way we can minimize the sum of bod that has to heal. ''

I nodded as I watched her relocation so fast she was damn near a blur. Finally she announced that she was ready. I lay back on the board where she indicated. `` What about nuisance medication ? '' I asked as she was about to start.

'' I am afraid I need you awake to tell me if I am touching too forcefully. I will be using insistence stop to girdle near of the annoyance. I am sorry that I can not damp all of it. '' She then touched a stage on my book binding as I felt my head go partly numb. Then I felt a minor pressure sensation at the back of my neck. `` Moving in now, almost there ; are you feeling unjustified pressure Doctor Gance ? '' She asked.

'' No except for the scratch line I have n't felt anything but some pressing. '' I told her.

'' Now extracting tracer, delight do not move MD Gance. '' Sheila said as I felt something pulsing moving closer to the back of my cervix. `` tracer fully extracted. I will rejoin MD. '' I heard her say then there was a breeze as she dashed out.

It was only a arcminute though it felt like an eternity when Sheila appeared beside me again. `` Is it gone ? '' I asked her.

'' Yes Doctor Gance. I am sorry for the pain you will be experiencing soon. '' Again she touched a spot on my backbone. At get-go it was n't bad then it started to sunburn. The side by side thing I knew I was screaming out in horrifying pain. Reaching to my back again Sheila touched a spot near the first one as the pain began to ebb though was n't completely gone.

As I gasp trying to slow my respiration I asked Sheila. `` Have they detected the tracer destruction ? ''

'' I do n't induce enough information to devote an result physician Gance. Knowing the procedures of the armed services it is more than possible. I have covered the ingress wound ; we need to evacuate this space. '' Sheila told me as she seemed to be scanning the domain.

'' I am in complete agreement. Though I am afraid I am not going to be practically service for a day or so. '' I told Sheila feeling the pain throb just above the tolerable floor. If I were to appease awake I needed to get well as fast as potential.

'' I am blue if I cause you pain Doctor. I must depart with as very much speed as possible. '' Sheila told me with what appeared to be a concern look on her face.

I was still trying to figure out just how she had evolved this far. Could it be that the broadcast had done more than I had intended ? I would n't roll in the hay 'til I got her hooked up to something to do a reading. Shaking my head I thought yeah right, gon na be a patch before I could do that.

Emerging from the mine entrance Sheila stopped a minute seeming to run down the area. `` I am detecting approaching military vehicles. I am sorry Doctor Gance but all precipitation must be made. '' With that she again took off as everything around me was a fuzz. Finally after what appeared to be a retentive clock time passing, she slowed.

'' I am afraid that my air shield will need adjusting if we are to keep up this rate. '' Sheila threw over her shoulder to me. I had been struggling to stay conscious as the pain was staring to slowly return. Putting me down Sheila looked at the obvious bother on my face. Her voice softened as she said, `` I am sorry Doctor, I did not own plenteous time to download all the pain sensation pressure points. We need shelter and equipment so that you can mend and remove the final two tracer bullet in me. ''

I nodded then gasped out when she attempted to filch me again. `` Not sure I can maintain consciousness much longer. '' I told her. Nodding, she carefully picked me up and set out. Finally ineffectual to take it I passed out. I awoke perhaps half an hour later.

'' good you are responding far beneficial than anticipated. '' Sheila said as she was looking at the injury on my neck opening. `` I have found a adroitness that has equipment that you will require doctor. ''

I looked around we appeared to be in a information processing system lab of some case. Slightly antiquated but I should be able to do some workplace here. That is 'til the military machine found us again. `` You will give to monitor everything while I get this up and running. '' I told her.

'' Yes Doctor Gance I will maintain a never-ending scan. I have also down loaded several of the programs that you will postulate to make allowance to some of my system. '' Sheila told me.

'' goodness. '' I said then as I started to remain firm, then thought better of it as the room started to gyrate slightly. Hooking up various leads I was finally into her political platform. Unfortunately she only had the start of what I needed as I started to type in more and more than bidding. beshrew it ! This was going to guide a while and I was n't sure we had that a great deal time. `` I need all that I do copied on phonograph record. The more I can get down the shorter time I 'll have to take rewriting all of it. ''

'' Yes Doctor Gance I had anticipated this. I am sorry that I was n't able to get all of it. Unfortunately they had tried to chop in and I had to pass over it. '' Sheila told me with … was that regret I was hearing in her voice ? Half an time of day later I had finally finished the for the first time computer programme looking at what I could. It was as she had said the curiosity computer program I had written was driving her to determine all she could, amazing !

As I started to write the arcsecond programme Sheila suddenly turned her head. `` I am afraid that we have n't very much fourth dimension Doctor. It is honest you are finally back into my programs. You will take more in order to effect alteration though. ''

'' Do I have time to finish the second ? '' I asked her.

'' That I am uncertain of. Since they can no longer detect you they are trying to zero in on the two tracers left in me. '' Sheila advised me.

I nodded as I started to type faster. Pulling it all up was no trouble ; it was the thousands of lines of code that was taking so long. Thankfully she had managed to get over half of all I needed though it was still time consuming. I 'd just gotten the sec finished and was trying to correct a few things when Sheila put a hand on mine. `` Time to go doc ; I am detecting them moving covertly toward this building. I estimate we have an hour before escapism will be difficult. ''

Nodding I took the disc out adding it to the former. I watched as Sheila passed a script over the console effectively wiping it. Picking me up, she started out the back moving at a slow pace. `` Thank you Doctor you have increased my air shield five percent, though not as much as I need to protect you completely, it will make moving less worrisome. ''

This prison term she started moving through the streets that were almost deserted. A few people were staring at the charwoman who had a to the full grown man over her shoulder moving with repose. Finally we made the border of the small city as Sheila accelerated. Again everything was a blur as she moved across the land. Sighing I knew it was going to be a piece before we would be condom. I still needed to regain both of the tracer bullet and remove them, if I could.

A few hours later I awoke when Sheila put me down again. `` We have arrived at another facility MD Gance, '' she said as she gently nudged me. I looked around looking at the rows of computers somewhat novel than the last place. I sat to originate, when my tum rumbled.

'' Ah ! It appears that your body is low on fuel Doctor of the Church. I will attempt to remedy this. '' Sheila said as she vanished out the door. I just shook my pass as I loaded both discs. Looking over everything I decided to work on her emotion computer programme. It was by far the most elaborate and would take the prospicient to recreate. I had just started when Sheila reappeared with a loaf of bread, a whole ham, and a chicken ! I could only stare as she started to slice the meat with her hired hand as if they were butter !

Sheila came to me with several sandwiches then looked at what I was working on. Nodding she pointed out a few things that she had manipulated within the plan. I nodded as I changed them noticing that each supple change made her emotions far more reaching than they had been before.

I worked for over an hr putting everything I could down. Finally I had well over one-half of it ; I then turned to the problem of the tracers. As long as they were in her I was afraid that they 'd have a way to find us. Again hooking Sheila up with various leads I started to run through the schematic she posted on my screen door. As slow as I could, I started over all life-sustaining areas looking for them.

rubbing my middle I finally found the start at the case of her robot brain. Looking at schematic again I rubbed my eyes. What was going on ? I know I had installed a positronic brain in her. From what I was seeing her mentality was anything BUT positronic ! My sassing dropped open, how had so many changes occurred ?

'' Sheila, I know I installed a positronic brain in your brain typesetter's case. What I am seeing though is NOT a positronic brain. Did I make a mistake in the induction ? '' I asked surprised at what I had found.

'' No medico you are counterbalance. You did install a positronic brain, though various programs that were later installed were causing problems in thought psychoanalysis. Following the third gear law variety were made to the brainpower. All orders were then centered around one human, you. You are my creator Doctor ; you therefore, must be protected at all times. This will enable me to further process all the purchase order that you have programmed into me. '' Sheila told me.

My mouth dropped clear, I was her creator. I must be protected at all meter ? My god ! Was I some type of god to her ? `` Wait, Sheila do you turn over some type of god ? ''

'' Of path not Doctor of the Church you are not a deity you are a human. One of the most brilliant human on earth ; therefore you must be protected, even if it means termination of this, '' then in a whisper representative she said, `` Of me. ''

I shook my head as I stumbled back from her. I shook my forefront as I said, `` no, you are my greatest Creation I can not set aside you to be used or destroyed. I think I see now why they wanted me to grant you emotions. So that you could would be more human not seeing yourself as mechanical man. This as I see it would do a superseding of the three constabulary. Well I thought it would to an extent. The oblique bastards ! ''

Sheila was staring at me with the look of a singular child. It was indeed a devious programme if what they were trying to do worked, they could ingest an army of unstoppable cause of death. Then I thought how did they effect the other nine androids. Looking at Sheila I thought was it possible that they had somehow mimicked the political platform in the droids. Nodding my head I was running through the computations. It would take a major reworking of what I had wrote to pull ahead the impression that they wanted.

Looking at Sheila again I saw that she was waiting. Looking over what I had found I saw that the first had no volatile charge though I went over it a few Sir Thomas More times to make water sure.

'' I have a location on the first tracer Sheila, looking it over now to make for sure removal is n't calamitous to your systems. '' I explained as I started over the same area again for a one-fourth fourth dimension.

'' As of yet I have n't detected any risk. I do suggest that you wear tribute Doctor. The outset has a gamy vitality output. '' Sheila warned me.

Laying Sheila on her front I opened an access jury on the back of her neck opening. Looking in I still could n't see it as of yet. Looking at the schematic drawing I moved forward two millimeters, finally seeing a belittled knob that I did n't commend being there before. Finally reaching it I had it almost all the way out when I got an alarm from the information processing system.

'' Doctor I am reading self destruct in 30 s, I suggest you withdraw it with more haste. '' Sheila advised me not moving.

I was starting to sweat as I finally got it out throwing it across the room. There was a tacky pop as it exploded in a huge cloud of gage. `` well that 's one. '' I said as I wiped my brow.

'' You have done excellent MD though I am afraid that the former has also activated. I estimate you have two time of day to dispatch it. '' Sheila told me.

I could only stare at her with my mouth hanging undetermined. Two hr ! `` Where in the perdition is this one ? '' I asked though for some reason I did n't cogitate I was going to like the answer.

'' I can feel it situated between the two lobes of my brain Doctor. '' Sheila said topic of factly.

I shook my drumhead, figures I thought 'bout the way those rump did things. The old saying came to mind I had heard when I was a child 'if I ca n't have it no one will ! '
