They even suspect you are
preparing an outrage against the Caravels. A few days ago they
asked after you.
    EVE
     
    What did you tell them?
    RAND
    I have known you for a long time. You can't be mixed
up in terrorism.
    But you are a suspect. They are searching for you
everywhere. Your days are numbered, I fear.
    beat
    I must speak to the General Staff.
    He remains absorbed. She gazes at him, trying to read
the trend of the discussion from the expression on his face. He
turns towards Eve.
    RAND
    I offer you our protection in exchange for your
engagement to work for us till the whole matter is settled.
    EVE
    I want a wide margin of action.
    RAND
    We will decide the strategies. You will carry out the
military operations.
    EVE
    I am going to have the androids, obviously.
    RAND
    We will place all the means at your disposal, but
until your assignment has been confirmed by the Staff, we don't
want to commit ourselves. You must steal them.
    A naughty smile appears on Eve's face.
    RAND
    You will make a false request for intervention, a
joke for you who knows the information systems better than anybody
else. The headquarters will place at your disposal equipment and
crew. You and your team will get into the androids during the
loading of the software, taking its place.
    At the end of the dance, he takes her by the arm.
    RAND
    Now let's enjoy the evening.
    They reach the table and admire the night landscape.
A kilometer below, the town is an uninterrupted expanse of
lights.
    Small aircrafts speed around the towers and a
spaceship with two thousand seats is landing in the new
spaceport.
    A waiter arrives with an enormous bunch of red
roses.
    RAND
    This to show you how much we appreciate your work.
Defense needs people like you.
    EVE
    I cannot.
    RAND
    Why?
    EVE
    I must carry out a project.
    RAND
    What's it about?
    EVE
    One day I will tell you.
    They have dinner. Voices are not heard. At the end,
the woman touches lightly Rand's hand.
    EVE
    Thank you, Marcus.
    RAND
    This evening I have lived emotions I thought
definitely lost.
    EVE
    I am no longer the woman I was. Now I am using a
program that simulates my past behavior.
    beat
    The project I have spoken you about requires much
greater capabilities, and I can face it only because I am not the
same any more. Do you want a demonstration?
    RAND
    Yes.
    EVE
    Are you sure?
    RAND
    I said yes!
    EVE
    OK, but after do not complain.
    Eve stares at him. He starts sweating,his face gets
deformed... He opens his mouth hardly.
    RAND
    Stop it!
    still confused
    What's happened?
    EVE
    I got into your brain through the neural chip.
    RAND
    You violated the access code!
    EVE
    Don't worry; I will not reveal it... Do you want a
description of your day?
    RAND
    Forget it. Tell me how you did it, instead.
    EVE
    I have installed programs I created myself. I am very
different from anyone else in Net, but this is the direction they
will evolve. I am going to guide them.
     
    INT. eartH army headquarters armory -- MORNING
    Black.
    voice (O.S.)
    I am finishing the controls.
    Eve opens her eyes. A ROBOT is tapping Eve's shoulder
with one of his eight stainless steel legs.
    She lowers her eyes over her body, an armored
android.
    Her companions are lined up along the corridor,
sparkling in their metal shields, still lifeless.
    The belts holding Eve against the wall open, and she
takes a few steps forward.
    robot
    This model was delivered a few days ago. A jewel. Ah,
sorry. I must continue my work.
    He bends towards another arrival. After a while, he
gathers the group.
    ROBOT
    Twenty. You are all here. Now call at the armory,
then go to the garage. The rest of the equipment is in the
vehicles. Have a good day!
    EXT. earth open country -- MORNING
    The Elects are speeding along a country road. All
around, an expanse of light green wheat.
    The hills low on the horizon are covered with a clear
blue haze softening the details.
    From time to time, the bends of a river with slimy
waters appear in the distance.
    They reach a villa
