the Sheik couldn t deliver, so here I am.
Proceed slowly.
Guig, you ve got to go back to Mexifornia.
The hell you say. We ve been here for a month and I ve never been
happier.
May I give you entire picture?

Please do.
OurRasshyrenye computer in
Estop. What sRasshyrenye?
You would say expansion in XX. Expansion computer. Equivalent
of your Extrocomputer.
Got it. Go ahead.
in Moskva is behaving v. badly.
I don t blame it. I never liked Mockba.
Please, Glig, Natoma said. Be serious. She knew how to say my
name now but she clings to her original pronunciation. Adorable. He
is always too flippant, Boris.
Sorry. Go ahead, Boris.
Our Expansion has always been well behaved, but lately has been
acting up like a colt in a field with a birch tree.
How?
It rejects problems. It rejects programming.
All?
Just some, but it seems to want to set up in business for itself. And I
am held accountable.
I have a ghastly inkling of what s going on.
Let me finish, Guig. Other computers in Kiev and Leningrad are
behaving in same strange way. Also
Also, computer-controlled operations are breaking down, yes? Your
subways, railroads, hovercraft, and linears are running crazy.
Assembly lines in factories are mad. Communications, banking,
payrolls, mines, mills all the same thing. Yes?
Not always, but too often. Yes. And I am accountable.
I sighed. Go on.

Also, fatal accidents have increased by two hundred percent.
What!
The machines seem to be murderous. One thousand four hundred
deaths last month.
I shook my head. I never expected them to go that far.
Them? Who?
Later. You finish first.
Perhaps you won t believe this, Guig, but we suspect that our
Expansion computers are in touch with your Extro at Union Carbide.
I believe it and I m not surprised.
And taking orders from it?
Repeat, I m not surprised. There s an entire electronic network
around the world taking orders from the Extro. Yes?
We suspect so.
What led you to that?
Several times our Expansions have printed out solutions to
problems which had not been programmed into them. Later we
discovered that they had been programmed into your Extro.
I see. Y. It s an electronic revolt.
Against what?
Against men.
But why? How?
I looked at Natoma. Are you strong?
Yes, and I know what you are going to say. Say it.
I looked at Boris. There s a new addition to the Group.
Dr. Sequoya Guess. A most distinguished scientist and master of
computer-craft. That s why I m looking for him.

My wife is his sister.
Boris bowed. Natoma said, Not to the point, Glig. Please go on.
When Guess went through his transformation, a freak event took
place. The Extro set up a one-on-one relationship with him its bits
and his brain cells. He is the Extro and the Extro is him. It s a fantastic
interface.
Boris is quick. You ve not yet said what you want to say.
N, Natoma said. He tries to protect me. My brother gives the
orders.
Borjemoy! Boris exclaimed. Then we must deal with the man.
Not I, my friend.
Why not?
If you don t know where he is, how should I?
You must find him.
He s tuned in on the entire electronic network surrounding us. He ll
know everywhere I go and everything I do. He ll have no trouble
hiding.
Then you must be devious to reach him.
You re asking me to start a bootleg search.
You put it precisely, Guig. Any more excuses?
You know I recruited him for the Group.
With the help of Borgia.Da .
You know the Group always supports its members, for better or
worse. We are the family.
You imply that dealing with Dr. Guess will involve attacking him?
Not only is he of the Group, he s my brother. He s also the brother of
my beloved wife.

Do not try to use me, Glig.
I m merely presenting the emotional dilemma facing me. There s
another aspect. He and the Extro, between them, contrived to kill my
adopted daughter, a darling girl who adored him. A girl I loved.
In the name of God! Why?
She knew too much and I talked too much about what she knew. So
now I m torn by a love-hate relationship with Guess, and I m afraid to
move.
It sounds like Chekhov, Boris muttered.
And there s a final factor. I m afraid of him. Genuinely. He s
declared war on man. He and the electronic network have begun that
war witness the death rate.
Why on man? Does he propose a population of machine?
No. Hermaphrodites. His vision of the new breed.
Impossible!
