I awoke with a jerk then regretted it as the back of my neck started to throb. Getting up I could see that I had fallen asleep on the key board. Looking around after relieving myself I was a little concerned as to where Sheila was.
Shrugging my shoulders I went back to the comp starting to type again as fast as I could. Almost an hour later I had completed another program. One that would help me to try and figure out just what in the hell was going on with Sheila. Then again I was going to need the next one to actually affect any change within her.
I heard a slight noise looking up Sheila appeared a moment later. Leaning over my shoulder she nodded her head. "I see that you are finally getting to the programs to help you with my systems." Taking out a lead she hooked up to the comp as I started the program I had finished a mere ten minutes ago. Looking over her systems I found that they were almost perfectly in sync now.
"I think you need to adjust this section.oo1 millimeters positive." I told her as she nodded then I turned to go through the rest of the readings. In all I managed to adjust several systems that were off. It was obvious that using regular current didn't go well with her systems.
We had been at it for almost an hour when Sheila suddenly stopped. "Is something wrong Sheila?" I asked.
"I have been monitoring all military and government channels for mention of either of us. I may have come across a communiqué about us." I nodded as Sheila started to read what she was seeing.
{"Progress report: operation hunt and recover. As of yet all attempts to recapture the model have proven inadequate. The suggested use of one of the remaining five prototypes has also met with failure. As we feel that these communications are being monitored by the model only basic information will be passed at this time.
Signed G.A.M. acting field officer.}
I was nodding the whole time Sheila was reading. So they weren't going to it appeared, send another of the prototypes after us for a bit. I gave a sigh of relief causing Sheila to suddenly sit up.
"Are you suffering a malfunction Dr. Gance? Though I am not reading any your heart rate, pulse and general body have suddenly lost their alertness. Do I need to operate again to repair you more?" Sheila asked as my head snapped around and I was staring at her.
I shook my head as I told her, "No I am operating well Sheila, what you detected was me relaxing."
"Relaxing? I am unsure of that term Doctor Gance." Sheila replied.
"I just came to the realization that they won't risk another of the prototypes. After they lost the first I think they believe that you would destroy all that they sent after us." I told her.
Sheila seemed to be in thought a moment then she stated, "Thank you Doctor Gance. Again I ask what exactly is this relaxing. From all readings I received it is a dangerous condition of the human body."
"No, I think that being as on guard as I was, that was dangerous. The higher heart rate, the higher adrenaline they are in fact deadly to the human body if sustained for too long a period of time." I imparted to Sheila.
Again she was silent a few moments they she replied, "I see, thank you for informing me. I am now going to the information net to learn all I can. This location should be secure for a few days at the least. Then I am afraid that we will have to move again. I have already scouted another possible location. It will take us a day of traveling to reach it."
I again was nodding at Sheila as I started the comp again. Starting to work on the advanced program I had thought about before Sheila returned. Looking it over I saw that I had hardly touched any of it after an hour. Carefully I reconstructed line for line of this advanced program. At least with the one I had finished I could see further into her programs, perhaps finding out what was going on in her.
