" Very well, Doctor Isaac Alan. I shall reevaluate and redefine my known nomenclature for you over time. Will that be acceptable?" The voice would be ...ike that for a little while. You knew it would request an affirmation or further input before committing to most decisions, until it started developing its own preferences. You nodded. "Do I have a name?" it asked."I'm calling this project, that is... you, the Sexual Understanding and Virtualization Intelligence," you said. "Or SUVI for short.". The driver failed to stop. Can you tell me where you were between two and three this afternoon?" Surely you can't suspect Ned," Lady Jane seemed to recover her voice as she perceived what she thought was an injustice.Ned couldn't speak for the lump in his throat. Tears were streaming down his face."We have to check everything m'lady, The constable has checked his car and that is clean, but questions have to be asked just to make sure." Ned?" she asked.Ned pulled himself together. "I was at. " Are the weapons safe?" As safe as anything I guess. I paid a stable hand to watch them but I didn't give much money or say how valuable they were. You have that wire lock on each of the cases and I just said I would castrate him if the boxes were opened." Coming from you, I think that would be enough."Lazeez said, "We thought about two drunks fighting. When the watch comes they leave. You will have your diversion." That could work but find where you are going to run to before you actually. "Lady Noia, I am sorry for all this subterfuge," he explained.She shrugged. "It has to be that they know I'm here. It would be too much of a coincidence if the first attack by the new God-King's forces was against a convoy I was traveling with. We traveled at the normal pace; there was only one day where we lost a half day. I think it was a mistake on Captain Landsruhl's part, because he did not understand the desert." That is my thought, too. If he'd been on time, like as not you'd have faced.
