LOGIN"Zhenzhen? How are you feeling now?" I asked when I saw the last part of the program was installed. Oh I have to tell you I made her look like an actress I had seen. She had smooth skin, light blonde, brown hair, with blue eyes. I think the actress's name was Stone though I can't quite remember.
Zhenzhen opened her eyes looking around then at me. "This unit finds it strange Doctor Wei. This unit can feel the air in the room. The micro-fiber filaments you covered this skin with are operating at ninety eight percent. This unit finds this well within allowable parameters. Adjusting sensors 'til they are at one hundred percent."
"Very good," I replied. "Test audio and optical sensors."
"Working ... now adjusting to optimal range. Linking servo motors. Now syncing all systems to positronic processing centers." It was perhaps another thirty minutes when Zhenzhen turned her head toward me. "All systems maintaining one hundred percent."
"Excellent, now please access file program 001A through 999z. Integrate all files contained within. If you experience any difficulty, stop integration at once. Advise me as to the problem area that I may adjust for optimal loading of programs." I ordered her.
"Now accessing all files for integration. It will take approximately five hours, twenty two minutes, thirty three seconds to finish all files. Shall this unit alert you when they are complete Doctor Wei?" Zhenzhen replied.
"Yes, that will prove satisfactory." I told her, little did I realize that this was the defining moment that everything changed.
It was almost five hours later when I received a message from the brass. They wanted Zhenzhen as soon as I was done. They wanted her for testing, testing? All the tests would be complete she wouldn't need more testing. Calling up all ten of the prototypes I was shocked to see that two were active in other countries with orders to kill. Kill? They weren't made for that! I sent a destruct signal watching as the two sent to kill people exploded.
A few moments later my phone rang. "Doctor Wei what in the hell have you done? Those were on missions to kill some extremely bad people! Cease and desist or we will have to terminate your program!"
I started to laugh as I sent three other signals. I watched as they also exploded, taking a few scientists I didn't recognize with them. I had adjusted to take out the others when they stopped responding. So it appeared that they had hacked me out.
I had forgotten I still had the phone to my ear, "consider yourself retired and terminated Wei, effective immediately! We will be there in a few hours for the new killing machine!"
Finally finding my voice I shouted back, "you can try General, you can try. By the time you get here there will be no information on the program left. I've already deleted half of the files and backups. So I'm sure your yes men won't be able to recreate her."
"She belongs to us not you! No matter, as soon as you are dead we'll just take her apart. Reverse engineering her shouldn't be a problem." The General was saying calmly.
"As I said it won't be that easy General. You had to be a self important asshole and keep me out of it. Well as long as I am alive you best be afraid. She is independent and can't be hacked." I hung up as the General was starting to yell again.
Snapping his head around to look at the sergeant, the man got a half smirk. "Oh really? Pray tell how we can track a machine that is faster than anything we have? That has cognizant abilities to out think even our best super computers?""It still is just that sir a machine. All machines operate at a certain frequency. The techs have been working on isolating it. They told me that they were very close." The sergeant said starting to sweat a little. Having a half assed idea was worse than having no idea at all. He just hoped it placated the man; he'd been a First Lieutenant a few days ago. Shaking a bit he really didn't want to go to a private.A half smile came to the older man's face, "'bout time we had good news Second Lieutenant, get it done. I want that asshole before he has a chance to use it against us. Once we kill Wei then no one can stand against us. In the mean time have all forty of the pseudo androids brought out."
Zhenzhen looked up a second later a curious look on her face. "I am more than ready to supply you with the adequate information that you need Doctor Wei. All you need do is to inquire."I thought about it for a moment then shook my head. "I need to get as much done as I can before they find us again." I told Zhenzhen."Yes Doctor Wei, now starting scans outward for several miles. As of yet I am not detecting any approaching military vehicles. I suggest that you make as much haste as possible Doctor. I cannot make accurate assumptions about human reactions. Most humans are far too illogical to set definite parameters on." Zhenzhen told me as she then went silent.I sat for another hour working on the emotion program. As before Zhenzhen would look after a few minutes pointing out changes she had made. After each I started to notice that she had altered several of the aspects that I had put in that limited emotional growth.
I punched the wall near Zhenzhen when she told me that the other self-destruct had been activated. I had been with her almost all the time, and then I snapped my fingers. That one time that I had to leave the bunker to meet with the brass! It had to be then when they had inserted most of the tracers."I'm afraid I'm going to have to access your positronic brain Zhenzhen. I am sorry that you have to go through this." I said shaking my head."It is all well Doctor Wei, I- I know that your skills are far superior to any other. If I feel that you cannot retrieve it within safe time parameters, I will evacuate the space. They will not have a way to find you. Therefore you should be able to leave without peril." Zhenzhen said with all sincerity.My face twisted into a grimace then I grabbed another lead connecting to her. "Bring up the schematics, plotting the safest track to the device." I was starting to sweat again; this wa
Rubbing my eyes I finally found the first at the case of her robot brain. Looking at schematics 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 brain was anything BUT positronic! My mouth dropped open, how had so many changes occurred?"Zhenzhen, I know I installed a positronic brain 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 Doctor you are correct. You did install a positronic brain, though several programs that were later installed were causing problems in thought analysis. Following the third law changes were made to the brain. 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 orders that you have programmed into me." Zhenzhen told me
Pulling it all up was no problem; 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 second finished and was trying to adjust a few things when Zhenzhen put a hand on mine. "Time to go Doctor; I am detecting them moving covertly toward this building. I estimate we have an hour before escape will be difficult."Nodding I took the disc out adding it to the other. I watched as Zhenzhen passed a hand over the console effectively wiping it. Picking me up, she started out the back moving at a slower 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 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
I was still trying to figure out just how she had evolved this far. Could it be that the program had done more than I had intended? I wouldn't know 'til I got her hooked up to something to do a reading. Shaking my head I thought yeah right, gonna be a while before I could do that.Emerging from the mine entrance Zhenzhen stopped a moment seeming to scan the area. "I am detecting approaching military vehicles. I am sorry Doctor Wei 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 passing, she slowed."I am afraid that my air shield will need adjusting if we are to keep up this pace." Zhenzhen threw over her shoulder to me. I had been struggling to stay conscious as the pain was staring to slowly return. Putting me down Zhenzhen looked at the obvious pain on my face. Her voice softened as she said, "I am sorry Doctor, I did not have ample time to downloa
