1.3
Angela’s body was preserved in electric signals. To complete the mission in the realistic world she had to have the same body. After Angela’s birth on Earth, her genetic material was preserved in storage. On the basis of it, a physical body was created.
And yet, it was still unknown, when the next hack was going to be, and if it will be known that the government security system was hacked, and Deva will be harmed, a real panic will begin. The physical body needed to be prepared as quickly as possible. There was no time to wait the amount to grow to the actual age.
This was when the delights of bioengineering was involved. Based on the information from the storage of the DNA and amino acid, an artificial body is created, proteins are made from the amino acids, the resulting structure is processed, each element is produced separately. Later all the parts are immediately put together, this greatly shortens the time.
And yet the result is a fetus at 9 months of pregnancy. This is where the nanomachines and machinery come into play. All ways are fully utilized, including the chemical effect, the speed of the cell cycle exceeds the normal rate by about five thousand times. In her private office, Angela watched the process of making her physical body.
The monitor showed an aquarium with a fetus, immersed in its traditional nutrition environment as well as the predicted development time. The body that has just appeared in this world gave off a strange vibe. Inside of the fetus’ brain there is no personality. As soon as the body reaches a certain age, it will be loaded with a virtual personality. The display showed detailed information on the fetus. Table of verification values. Everything was within the norm.
Angela began stimulate the cell division. Before this she drove everything out through a simulation. The full development of the organism takes thirty five hours.
“Too long.”
It was possible to do this without a physical body. It was enough to load a mind into one of Deva’s robots, to be able to work in the real world. And yet, the locals might treat the robot with suspicion, as a result of which there might be problems with collecting information. Also the virtual ident.i.ty needs to be transferred, which, though not impossible, has some nuances.
The spirit has abandoned its flesh, but still any person needs to have a personal image, to continue its existence. The essence of a person is built on the basis of feeling one’s own body. To see with your eyes, listen with your ears, smelling with your nose, tasting with your tongue, feeling with your skin, a human being learns the world in movement, this makes up his soul. If in the virtual world there is a body that has sensory organs, the soul won’t be able to exist. There will be nothing to support its foundation.
In turn a mechanical body, unlike a body that can sense, puts a very large load on the spirit. Because of this some time had to be spent, because the connection to your own physical body in this case is simply necessary.
“Nothing can be done….”
Angela gave an affirmative order. The development began to speed up. After that she once again looked through the simulation data.The fetus on the monitor screen began to take the form of a human, a naked figure of another Angela was already discernible.
The physical and the virtual bodies were basically identical, however it was also important the amount of resources that were available for this, something in the end had to be spared. Angela barely had such differences however, but she wanted to check for herself.

She looked at the image of her physical body. She turned and slightly stretched.
“Hm…It’s slightly heavy. Can this be the fault of Earth’s gravity?
She decided to try the body. She shook her hands, and then bent down. She took a confident step and clenched her hand into a fist. As an investigator of the security system, Angela was supposed to have the skills of close combat. Without stopping moving, she asked asked a question to AI support.
“And what will be of the equipment?”
Displays appeared around Angela. There was a robot on top of them, namely a mobile exoskeleton. There were also weapons and ammunition. A fighting unit, very maneuverable, capable of operating both with and without an atmosphere, gravity does not present any difficulties for it.
“Arhan,” she muttered the name of robot’s latest model, “In complete configuration. And…”
Another window opened. There was a careless man with a brazen face.
“Local agent-conductor?”
She glanced into his profile.
Zarich Kadzivara
Nickname – Dingo
Information Security System, 18 successful mission on Earth. He was given “S” rank.
Nasty nature. In reports, much was said about acts of disobedience.
“Hm, I hope there will be some benefit. Next is k.u.mite. Provide an opponent.”
Before her was a simulated humanoid doll. As a partner, AI support made an imitation of the enemy and signaled the start of the training. The enemy appeared in the form of a security system.
In front of Angela, smiling, stood a woman with emerald green short hair, clearly aimed for victory. Angela’s face looked tired.
“Kristine? You know, it’s a bad habit to penetrate somewhere without permission.”
“Who cares. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Kristine said, Angela arbitrarily glanced at the display.
“What do you want? I’m busy”
“You’ve been entrusted with the mission of tracking Pioneer haven’t you?”
“Yes.” Angela smiled proudly.
Kristine lifted her hand and snapped with her fingers. The form turned into a training costume.
“I’ve also been a.s.signed to it.”
“Oh?”
“Did you think that it would only be trusted to you?”
Angela blushed.
“I didn’t…”
“Oh really.
An evil smile spread across Kristine’s face. They joined the security service together and improved by competing with each other. Being still quite young, they were able to rank up to officers of the third rank. The fact that Kristine knew about Angela being chosen for this difficult mission, was nothing unusual.
Kristine began to move, she took the fighting stance in kickboxing. Angela was from karate.
A quick jab. Angela answered with both hands.
“Will anyone else from the agents take part in the mission?”
“Yes. Of the agents known to us, Veronica and Hilde applies.”
Of course, this couple are first-cla.s.s investigators.
Kristine delivered a kick. Angela managed to duck, from this position, she made a punch. And yet the opponent was able to predict the blow, so that it could only get the air.
“A local agent will work with you. How old-fashioned.”
“That is the policy of the security service. Nothing can be done about that, since it’s so hard to catch him. And how will you be catching him? You can’t go to the real world?”
“I can. I will catch Pioneer with my own hands. And by the way, your local agent is kind of like obsessed with Earth. Is it possible to trust such a person?”
“So what…”
“So I sent a unit to gather information on Earth.”
An unmanned airplane scout. Lines of communication and data transmission, interception of telemetric information, video surveillance, even information on the locality. With the help of all this information she expects to establish the location of Pioneer, after which she will make a round-up on the Arhan.
But this method is very difficult in terms of a.n.a.lysing information. To process such a huge amount of a lot of computing power and a lot of time. And yet she is of those that do their very best. Her mother’s efforts made a huge contribution to the development of Deva, so she had enough resources. Kristine had access to her mother’s recourses.
Angela was different. Genetic engineers in Deva were no longer needed, children were born thanks to DNA storage, parents in the old understanding no longer existed. For her, only the recourses given at work, or ones that she has already earned were available. The methos used by Kristine, was inaccessible for most people.
Kristine’s pressure increased. Angela wasn’t able to stop all her attacks. The situation became more shaky.
“The one who achieves success, might get a promotion.”
Hearing her words, Angela frowned.
“You want to become my boss?”
“Maybe so. Although I do not deal with personal issues.”
“I’m joking.”
Angela went from karate to aikido. She grabbed Kristine’s wrist. However, Kristine eased it off and went into counteroffensive. She knocked Angela off her feet and immediately came from behind. She wrapped her hands around her neck and started squeezing it. Angela heard a whisper by her ear.
“You’ll be an excellent subordinate, I think, so I will ask for you to be given to me. I count on you, if you even get such an appointment.”
Though she was suffering, Angela didn’t want to give up. She put up with the pain and looked for an opportunity for a counterattack.
“I’ll see you again, Angela.”
It was over, Kristine broke the connection. Her body dissolved, leaving Angela laying face down. Virtual pain. The feeling of fatigue was gone, upset, she rose. She called the progress console of the creation of her physical body.
From thirty five hours… To seven hours.
The AI escort issued a warning.
“The age of the physical body is 16 years. The necessary level of development will not be achieved.”
“Oh well. Just do it.”
“Ok.”
“I’m going to do everything to get to him first. Bring in the 3D model of this body.”
Before Angela appeared her young body.
Having changed her body, as though she wanted to disperse all her anger, she again, full of zeal, began to train.
