The android left the room, and even locked the wirelessly controlled door behind her, growing her hair out in the red color it should be. She worked her way to another hallway and ran right into a fully-equipped army man. He looked at her, more than a little shocked. But he quickly overcame his shock and said,
"K.A.R.Y.N, execute command 3-4-2." That was the main shutdown code, the android knew, a command that was among the first she disabled. Now, the soldier raised his gun, which didn't seem quite like a normal rifle. K.A.R.Y.N. accessed her database and learned it was a new type of EMP rifle developed by Eric and Keith. It would shut her down, and fry many of her circuits.
The android learned all this in .0000000001 seconds, and spent the next .0000004 seconds developing a series of movements to neutralize her only real threat now. Within .02 seconds, the soldier was unconscious on the floor and the EMP rifle was broken into a thousand pieces.
"Humans," she said with disdain, and she continued on toward Jon's house.
"Jon, high, this is Keith." He was talking through the one land line in the lab room. Wireless transmission would be detected by K.A.R.Y.N. Hell, there was a greater than zero chance she was detecting this call. "Yeah, I need you to do a favor for me. Our android got away, and may be heading for you. I need you to deactivate her manually. I'll run you through the steps. . ."
