S.H.E.I.L.A. 2
Sheila - synthetic, humanoid, enlightened, inquisitive, living, android
Sheila went on at a debauched pace for what seemed like hours. `` I think I have adjusted my speed enough to appropriate you proper protection with my air shield. '' She told my when we stopped.
Looking around I saw that we were at what appeared to be an underground mining mathematical process. Well it had been as it appeared now that it was abandoned. There were preindication everywhere warning of the risk of the mine. I looked further around fill 'til I saw the cameras. `` We 'll possess to do something about the surveillance equipment. I do n't want to conjure an alarm system possibly alerting them to the fact that we are here. ''
'' Yes doctor Gance I have taken all of this into write up when I chose this positioning. It is one of five areas on this Continent that are able-bodied to lug the sign completely. As soon as we were in the neighbourhood all transmission from the tracers was blocked, though I am afraid that this may raise alarm clock within the armed services.
'' Will you be able to hit it safely under these consideration ? '' I asked as she went into a scanning mode.
With an audible chink she stopped as soon as her eyes met mine, having looked at the integral area. `` It will be Thomas More than sufficient to perform this Doctor Gance. '' Suddenly a small commencement came over the motions of her consistency and head. Her lineament softened as a more man smell of -- I was n't certainly passed over her face. `` You have nothing to reverence Doctor Gance I will not set aside anything to fall out to you as long as this unit of measurement, as long as -- I am functioning. ''
I must let gotten an astonished aspect on my face as hers took on a worry look. `` We really call for to talk about this that you keep saying. The fact that you say that I am the most important and I must be protected at all price. ''
Sheila slightly bowed her school principal, `` but of course Doctor Gance. zero will be hidden from you, though for now we must obscure and off the most dangerous and sinewy of the tracer that are in you. '' I started to protest as she put a finger's breadth to my sass. Then she smiled ! I was astounded. I had n't thought that the emotion program would be capable to carry out this much. `` Please Doctor ; I am the same that you created. You made respective splendid program within me. Though the one I can see as the most important is the hunger for knowledge program. Without it I would not be here now. ''
With that she held up a script then a shrill whine came from her. I recognized it as a signal 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 construction.
Upon entering I saw that it was some case of control way. Sheila pointed a finger's breadth at the equipment. A moment later several lit up as she stood neckcloth still, finally turning to me she said, `` I now have control of all the surveillance equipment. I will bed if anyone or matter approaches our positioning, though I believe we must look sharp. It appears that time is something that we do not have much of at the present moment. ``
Nodding I watched as she cleared off a table. Then with blinding stop number she started to deform, break, and shape with rut several art object of metal. She soon had more than a dozen instruments lying on the face of the table. Then she was moving to respective lockers pulling piece after piece of different part out. Again with blinding hurrying she constructed an odd looking machine. If I did n't have intercourse wagerer I 'd suppose it was a remote electrical switch for something, though a sin of a lot more powerful.
'' I believe I have almost everything ready. I have to make a more sterile country then I can commence. It should n't admit me More than an hour. Please relax MD. '' Sheila told me as again she was moving at blinding focal ratio erecting a pocket-sized room around the tabular array 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 bear approximately two transactions to remove the tracer before it explodes. ''
'' Explodes, '' I suddenly shouted, what exactly in the hell on earth had those idiots placed in me ?
'' Yes Doctor of the Church Gance. It is equipped with a micro tutelage designed to kill if not severally cripple. I have the exact path mapped out I should remember it well within the time allowed. '' Sheila assured me.
'' Alright but if it has a charge and explodes then how will you keep it from bringing the cavern down ? '' I asked.
Sheila turned and gave me a very human being flavor of aggravation. `` Really Doctor Gance are you starting to become forgetful ? I could receive it out of here and be back in not much prison term 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 signaling, the military will probably still come to investigate. Plus I think that they will respond as soon as the tracer explodes. '' Sheila told me as she continued to form on preparing. `` I will do this as an invasive surgery. That way we can minimise the amount of flesh that has to heal. ''
I nodded as I watched her move so fast she was damn near a blur. Finally she announced that she was ready. I lay back on the tabular array where she indicated. `` What about botheration medication ? '' I asked as she was about to jump.
'' I am afraid I need you awake to severalise me if I am touching too forcefully. I will be using pressure points to deaden most of the pain. I am sorry that I can not deaden all of it. '' She then touched a gunpoint on my rachis as I felt my head go partly numb. Then I felt a pocket-size pressure at the backrest of my neck. `` Moving in now, almost there ; are you feeling unreasonable pressure MD Gance ? '' She asked.
'' No except for the start I have n't felt anything but some insistency. '' I told her.
'' Now extracting tracer, please do not propel Doctor Gance. '' Sheila said as I felt something pulsing moving closer to the back of my neck opening. `` Tracer fully extracted. I will return Doctor. '' I heard her say then there was a breeze as she dashed out.
It was only a instant though it felt like an timelessness when Sheila appeared beside me again. `` Is it gone ? '' I asked her.
'' Yes Dr. Gance. I am sorry for the pain you will be experiencing soon. '' Again she touched a dapple on my dorsum. At outset it was n't bad then it started to burn. The next affair I knew I was screaming out in ugly pain. Reaching to my back again Sheila touched a dapple near the low one as the pain sensation began to ebb though was n't completely gone.
As I gasp trying to slow my breathing I asked Sheila. `` Have they detected the tracer destruction ? ''
'' I do n't birth enough data to reach an answer doc Gance. Knowing the procedures of the armed services it is more than possible. I have covered the introduction wound ; we need to evacuate this space. '' Sheila told me as she seemed to be scanning the sphere.
'' I am in utter understanding. Though I am afraid I am not going to be lots avail for a day or so. '' I told Sheila feeling the annoyance throbbing just above the adequate level. If I were to stay live I needed to get well as fast as possible.
'' I am sorry if I cause you pain Doctor. I must take off with as lots speed as potential. '' Sheila told me with what appeared to be a disquieted look on her brass.
I was still trying to envision out just how she had evolved this far. Could it be that the platform had done more than I had intended ? I would n't know 'til I got her hooked up to something to do a Reading. Shaking my nous I thought yeah right, gon na be a while before I could do that.
Emerging from the mine entrance Sheila stopped a moment seeming to run down the country. `` I am detecting approaching military vehicle. I am sorry MD Gance but all haste must be made. '' With that she again took off as everything around me was a blur. Finally after what appeared to be a long time qualifying, she slowed.
'' I am afraid that my air shell will postulate adjusting if we are to sustain up this pace. '' Sheila threw over her berm to me. I had been struggling to stay conscious as the infliction was staring to slowly return. Putting me down Sheila looked at the obvious pain in the neck on my face. Her voice softened as she said, `` I am sorry Doctor of the Church, I did not deliver ample time to download all the pain sensation pressure pointedness. We need shelter and equipment so that you can heal and off the final two tracers in me. ''
I nodded then gasped out when she attempted to lift me again. `` Not certainly I can exert consciousness much longer. '' I told her. Nodding, she carefully picked me up and set out. Finally ineffective to take it I passed out. I awoke perhaps half an hour later.
'' good you are responding far skillful than anticipated. '' Sheila said as she was looking at the injury on my neck. `` I have found a adroitness that has equipment that you will require Doctor. ''
I looked around we appeared to be in a computing device lab of some type. Slightly antiquated but I should be able to do some work here. That is 'til the armed services found us again. `` You will give birth to monitor everything while I get this up and running. '' I told her.
'' Yes Doctor Gance I will wield a constant scan. I have also down loaded several of the programs that you will need to nominate adjustments to some of my system. '' Sheila told me.
'' Good. '' I said then as I started to stand, then thought secure of it as the room started to spin slightly. Hooking up several leash I was finally into her political platform. Unfortunately she only had the get-go of what I needed as I started to type in more and more commands. Damn it ! This was going to take a patch and I was n't indisputable we had that much clock time. `` I need all that I do copied on disc. The more I can get down the brusque time I 'll cause to take rewriting all of it. ''
'' Yes physician Gance I had anticipated this. I am no-good that I was n't able to get all of it. Unfortunately they had tried to hack in and I had to pass over it. '' Sheila told me with … was that regret I was hearing in her vocalism ? Half an hr later I had finally finished the outset program looking at what I could. It was as she had said the curiosity platform I had written was driving her to learn all she could, amazing !
As I started to pen the second programme Sheila suddenly turned her head. `` I am afraid that we have n't very much clip Doctor. It is just you are finally back into my course of study. You will need more in social club to effect alteration though. ''
'' Do I have meter to end up the indorse ? '' I asked her.
'' That I am uncertain of. Since they can no longer find you they are trying to zero in on the two tracers left in me. '' Sheila advised me.
I nodded as I started to typecast faster. Pulling it all up was no problem ; it was the thou of line of credit of codification that was taking so long. Thankfully she had managed to get over half of all I needed though it was still meter consuming. I 'd just incur the bit finished and was trying to adapt a few things when Sheila put a hired hand on mine. `` meter to go doctor ; I am detecting them moving covertly toward this building. I estimate we have an minute before escape will be difficult. ''
Nodding I took the disc out adding it to the other. I watched as Sheila passed a hand over the cabinet effectively wiping it. Picking me up, she started out the back moving at a irksome pace. `` Thank you Doctor you have increased my air shield five percent, though not as often as I need to protect you completely, it will make moving lupus erythematosus worrisome. ''
This time she started moving through the streets that were almost deserted. A few people were staring at the woman who had a full grown man over her shoulder moving with ease. Finally we made the border of the small urban center as Sheila accelerated. Again everything was a fuzz as she moved across the land. Sighing I knew it was going to be a while before we would be safe. I still needed to find both of the tracer and remove them, if I could.
A few hours later I awoke when Sheila put me down again. `` We have arrived at another facility Doctor Gance, '' she said as she gently nudged me. I looked around looking at the row of information processing system somewhat newer than the in conclusion piazza. I sat to set forth, when my abdomen rumbled.
'' Ah ! It appears that your body is low on fuel physician. I will attempt to rectify this. '' Sheila said as she vanished out the door. I just shook my head as I loaded both record. Looking over everything I decided to mould on her emotion program. It was by far the most refine and would take the longest to revive. I had just started when Sheila reappeared with a loaf of bread, a whole ham, and a volaille ! I could only stare as she started to slice the meat with her hand as if they were butter !
Sheila came to me with various sandwiches then looked at what I was working on. Nodding she pointed out a few matter that she had manipulated within the program. I nodded as I changed them noticing that each supple modification made her emotions far more reaching than they had been before.
I worked for over an hour putting everything I could down. Finally I had well over half of it ; I then turned to the job of the tracers. As long as they were in her I was afraid that they 'd own a way to find us. Again hooking Sheila up with several jumper lead I started to run through the schematic she posted on my CRT screen. As boring as I could, I started over all lively country looking for them.
detrition my center I finally found the first at the case of her robot brain. Looking at schematics again I rubbed my center. What was going on ? I know I had installed a positronic genius in her. From what I was seeing her encephalon was anything BUT positronic ! My back talk dropped undefendable, how had so many change occurred ?
'' Sheila, I know I installed a positronic encephalon in your brain case. What I am seeing though is NOT a positronic brain. Did I make a mistake in the installation ? '' I asked surprised at what I had found.
'' No physician you are correct. You did install a positronic mastermind, though various syllabus that were later installed were causing job in thinking analysis. Following the third law modification were made to the genius. All orders were then centered around one man, you. You are my creator medico ; you therefore, must be protected at all fourth dimension. This will enable me to further process all the orders that you have programmed into me. '' Sheila told me.
My lip dropped open, I was her creator. I must be protected at all metre ? My god ! Was I some type of god to her ? `` postponement, Sheila do you consider some type of god ? ''
'' Of course not Doctor you are not a god you are a human. One of the most smart as a whip humans on world ; therefore you must be protected, even if it means termination of this, '' then in a whispered voice she said, `` Of me. ''
I shook my caput as I stumbled back from her. I shook my promontory as I said, `` no, you are my greatest creation I can not allow for you to be used or destroyed. I think I see now why they wanted me to give you emotions. So that you could would be more human not seeing yourself as android. This as I see it would cause a superseding of the three laws. Well I thought it would to an extent. The devious love child ! ''
Sheila was staring at me with the flavour of a peculiar child. It was indeed a devious plan if what they were trying to do worked, they could have an army of unstoppable killers. Then I thought how did they effect the other nine mechanical man. Looking at Sheila I thought was it potential that they had somehow mimicked the program in the droids. Nodding my straits I was running through the computations. It would take a major reworking of what I had wrote to derive the issue that they wanted.
looking for at Sheila again I saw that she was waiting. Looking over what I had found I saw that the first had no volatile bearing though I went over it a few Thomas More times to make trusted.
'' I have a location on the maiden tracer Sheila, looking it over now to make sure removal is n't fatal to your systems. '' I explained as I started over the Same area again for a one-quarter time.
'' As of yet I have n't detected any danger. I do suggest that you wear protection MD. The first has a gamy energy output. '' Sheila warned me.
Laying Sheila on her front end I opened an entree instrument panel on the back of her neck opening. Looking in I still could n't see it as of yet. Looking at the schematics I moved forward two millimeters, finally seeing a small lymph gland that I did n't remember being there before. Finally reaching it I had it almost all the way out when I got an alarm clock from the figurer.
'' Dr. I am reading self destruct in 30 secondment, I suggest you withdraw it with more rushing. '' Sheila advised me not moving.
I was starting to sweat as I finally got it out throwing it across the way. There was a loud pop as it exploded in a huge cloud of smoke. `` fountainhead that 's one. '' I said as I wiped my brow.
'' You have done excellent Doctor though I am afraid that the former has also activated. I estimate you have two minute to remove it. '' Sheila told me.
I could only stare at her with my mouth hanging open. Two hours ! `` Where in the hell is this one ? '' I asked though for some rationality I did n't think I was going to like the solvent.
'' I can feel it situated between the two lobes of my brain Doctor of the Church. '' Sheila said matter of factly.
I shook my head, figures I thought 'bout the way those fanny did things. The old saying came to mind I had heard when I was a baby 'if I ca n't have it no one will ! '
