Sheila and I walked away from the RCMP as calmly as we could. No 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 possess to realise sure as shooting we have all the proper credentials before we try again. ] I thought to Sheila.

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

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

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

'' No it would n't, we have to give birth unity that are believable. I have heard that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are unplayful about their security. '' I replied to Sheila.

Sheila seemed to be in thought for a few more moments. `` It appears that you are correct. I therefore shall make up sure as shooting that all is chastise before I show our new identicalness to you. ``

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

Sheila 's eyes went panoptic a here and now then it seemed she was scanning my entire body. `` I apologize Doctor Gance ; I was completely focused on our escape. You free energy is at a low breaker point. Shall I find you something ? '' Sheila asked.

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

Sheila was still a mo then two Canadian twenty broadside slid out of her side. I could only gaze at the crisp new bills shaking my school principal. `` will these not do ? '' Sheila asked an almost look of mental confusion on her face.

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

Sheila was smooth a bit then two more than older slightly wrinkled broadside came out of the same porta on her slope. `` Perhaps these will suffice better ? ``

I looked at the two one-time 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 tomentum and face. Nodding a moment I thought about what I should change.

[ This is control ; I need an stunned appearance change. fuzz to reddish brown colour, eyes a lite brown. Jaw line less target. ] I thought to the nanomites within me.

{ control ; all alteration being affected. All perimeter will be completed within five minute of arc. ] I heard from within me.

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

A rugged, heavy framed short-change brown haired cleaning woman appeared a moment later. I was reading through the option as she patiently waited. `` How is the otter fret ? '' I finally asked looking up.

'' Eh, not too bad, it's not as novel as usual though. It's been a while since we 've had really invigorated sum in. '' She told me in French a boastfully grin on her face.

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

'' I 'll accept that. '' I told her as she took my menu 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 expression. Then walking back she leaned conclusion whispering in broken English. `` Ya be from the states. Keep that quiet, they no like them here. '' Then she moved off as quickly as she could.

I shook my head 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 Lapplander womanhood returned with a large bowl of a rather swell smelling stew.

I thank her in French people as she leaned closer whispering, `` Eat, then leave. As I said, they no charge for 1 from there. ``

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

[ Control, all units have shifted to primary defense manner. Maximum defense has been activated. ] I heard the nanomites within me state.

[ This is control ; notify the Sheila unit of measurement of the situation. urinate her aware of everything that is taking lieu. ] 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 sigh of relief as I finished then got up to pay.

I was almost to the register when I was met by a pocket-sized mickle of a man. One that I am sad to say was making no campaign to let me by. In Daniel Chester French, the man pointed a stubby finger's breadth at me saying, `` You are one of those stuck up Americans are n't you ? We no like you 're eccentric here ! ``

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

The rather orotund man was joined by another even larger sight of a man. `` Eh you speak Daniel Chester French like a dirty American ! '' The second base man stated with a low growl.

'' I 'm sorry I 'm from Quebec I ... '' I started to say when the low man started to crowd together in closer to me. Then almost too fast to follow he swung a large beefy fist at me. The adjacent thing I knew I had his arm and he was on the story groaning.

With a thunder the former larger man charged me only to find himself on the floor alongside his friend. Both were groaning, and then they were both growling as they sprang up far flying than I thought they were able to. This meter they went to my front and back as the one in front of me tried to distract me. I could almost feel the one behind me as he tried to wrap his arms around me in a expect hug.

I ducked low tripping the one derriere me as he sailed forward into the one in strawman of me. Both men grunted as they collided getting tangled up. Growling again the biggest 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 floor spasming, I saw that Sheila had ahold of a sheaf of nerves in the large man 's neck.

The smaller of the big men was crawling backwards away from the both of us. The larger man was still howling almost to the decimal point of screaming. `` Let him go, I do n't conceive he 'll do that again too soon will you ? '' I asked the larger Male as I kneeled on the base 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 trouble 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 swoosh of air. Crawling to a seat he had to overstretch 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 surely 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 Royal Canadian Mounted Police wo n't be involved ? ``

The Waitress 's mouth dropped outdoors as she quickly shook her head no. `` I may not like what they do ; I do n't want my but brothers in the remand center. ``

I nodded trying to understand. Since I really had no family I was a little clueless.

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

'' It would appear 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 instant as I thought again that soon she was going to develop far beyond me. That she would no longer be needing me or wishing to celebrate me alive.

Sheila stopped dead there on the paseo turning snapping her read/write head around to stare at me. Was that a look of anger on her face ? Christ that was the most terrifying look I had ever seen on her face !

'' Doctor Gance ! Please do not finger that I will abandon you. As I stated before you are the most important man animated. You understand me and my kind far more than any other human. You truly are the creator of a new eccentric of life. Please Doctor of the Church Gance, please do not think I will ever provide you. I will do anything I can to keep you alive, ANYTHING ! '' Sheila said to me with to a greater extent emotion than I thought she needed to.

delay ! ? I .... Shaking my head I finally had to take on, everything I had seen. Every program I had seen in her. All her chemical reaction to all the billet 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 real human 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 people as much as potential. My mouth dropped unfastened it was dead on target !

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

I felt a mitt on my arm guiding me toward a posterior in the cabin. Shaking my head I had n't even realized that we had entered it. Shakily I looked up into the concerned face of Sheila.

'' Are you near 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 situation Dr. 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 shock when I saw that it said I was a reckoner technician from Quebec. I then saw that Sheila 's said she was my help. I then saw that my name was Thomas Tarlack that Sheila 's was Rebekah Jones. Nodding I handed them to Sheila.

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

'' No doc Gance, I am going to run two Sir Thomas More circle of mental testing. Then I can say that they are at least ninety eight percent correct. '' Sheila replied.

'' Very good study Sheila as soon as they are ready let me know. '' I told Sheila as I watched her face seem to light up a belittled smile gracing her lips.

'' Thank you Doctor of the Church Gance, I will terminate as soon as I can. '' Sheila replied causing my eyes to uprise in surprise. This was the first time I ever call up her saying that with as a great deal emotion as she just had.

There was no question about it ; I needed to get back in there before she locked me out for estimable. 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 scoop brushing the data square block. Almost immediately I had a myriad of picture appearing in front of me. [ Control, accessing data cube. Warning, warning, complete access can not be granted for an cover menses. gettable great deal has been reached therefore hold access is advised. promote plenty required before wide access code can be allowed for a sustained quantity of clip. ]

My sass dropped open as I was flying through the data that was showing before me. The most amazing thing was I was correcting as fast as the data was flashing by at an quicken rate. I was over half way through when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I was suddenly jerked back into the real number globe. Blinking, it took me a few moment 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 headland to pull in it a moment then I took the badges looking them over. I was surprised when I saw that she had a bar code, a motion-picture show that looked like I did right now. Everything I saw made the badge flavor nothing but prescribed. 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 happy 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 aspect lit up as another smile this one gravid than the hold up crossed her mouth. `` Thank you again Doctor Gance, I covered everything that I saw. I even added access from the technical fellowship we are supposed to be from in Quebec. ``

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

We were moving toward the two Mountie, though I knew she had covered so many groundwork, I was still scared. Human error always seemed to rear its ugly head in almost every position. Curiously enough, this was one of the multiplication 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 Mister Tarlack ! Miss Daniel Jones. We are so sword lily that you both are here ! All the computers in the computer lab have been almost unusable. We are so hoping that the both of you can amend 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 time. I am detecting a few virus in their systems. Nothing I ca n't brighten. ] Sheila 's thoughts responded to me.

I looked back to the dean as I replied, `` Yes sir we 'll get on it as soon as possible. I am afraid that the labs will have 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 poster. I just hope it does n't withdraw very long, it is one of the punter 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 pocket-sized bench outside here. '' With that he opened a window showing a terrace further above the reason than i thought we were. `` Alright I 'll will the two of you to it. ``

I nodded as the man walked away, `` Let me know 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 cube out.

'' Are the system capable to run with all these viruses ? '' I asked Sheila.

'' I have well-nigh of those already cleared MD Gance. Another two minutes 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 bunch was quickly advancing. Ruslan looked back at Tamerlane his mind and custody were still wrapped. Damn it ! The man 's hearing was only half back, his mitt almost completely useless.

This was the low gear time in a very hanker prison term that they had truly had a challenge. The fact that their mission was sanctioned by the military and sure political party in the administration was a fillip. Huh he thought after all this meter. This was the beginning 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 century mil an minute. Ruslan smiled they were catching up according to what Tamburlaine had said. There was n't a great deal artificial satellite insurance coverage though it seemed Timur Lenk had finally got one that was partly capable to follow them.

Looking at the read out it appeared they were stopped in a urban center called yellowness knife. Hmmmm, it was the majuscule and only city, as well as the largest biotic community, in the Northwest soil. Nodding his principal, his eyes wide a second so 19,569 people. Smiling wider he thought enough we might birth a trivial fun after the mission.

Serafima was starting to enjoy the joy ride a little too much for his gustation. Reaching over he tapped Serafima on the articulatio humeri. `` We want to arrive in one patch woman ! I suggest you drive more heedful. ``

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

Ruslan shook his promontory as he looked over the rest of the team. Karina was going over both hers and Serafima 's rifles. Stas was going over all his explosives making for certain they were safe 'til he needed them. Egor was going over for the umpteenth time every piece of equipment that they had with them. A damn fine team, one that had taken him eld to assemble after the collapse of the communist regime.

At least they were out of the female parent rural area. They had been fighting tooth and nail to survive at times. At to the lowest degree here they were making sufficiency money to live like a king when they went back, IF they went back. With a sigh Ruslan went through his own hired gun, tongue, and rifles. No sentiency being unprepared, a slogan he lived by, right to be well prepared 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 able to access the more recent 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 hour later I was where she had locked me out before. I went through every word, every code word everything she would postulate to allow me in.

I was in as I started to proceed through all of her programs I could see that she had been updating and upgrading. Then I reached the same huge program I had before. My god I thought as I looked at the increased size of it of the computer programme ! This time I was moving far faster than I had ever before. I could see her closing percentage of the program but not before I got a good look.

Finally I reached the last discussion section a new division by the looking at of it. This was obscure, marooned well away from the quietus. As I started looking through it feeling a chill go up my spine. This area was depressing if cipher else that when I happened upon the words, I love you Roger. Please do n't leave me.

I blinked as I stared at the speech, what in the hell ? Even as I watched the program slammed shut, I looked over at Sheila as again I could swear she was blushing a deep crimson semblance .
