          "Just look at  me." Geneva said, "Sometimes I wonder what you
    think of me." The drone of traffic control was on her soap box again.
  Fingertips tapped at her keyboard, but to no avail. "I smelled a spring
  breeze this morning. There was a wind blowing the exhaust away."
  she continued to chatter unnecessary information. "Some of you are
  driving too fast. Drive like your children live here." Geneva scolded.
  A programer clasped his hands in prayer.

          "I've seen you soccer moms go through red lights. Do you care
  about your children?" Geneva could not be silenced. "Okay. We've got
  some kind of holistic program growing here." Kohlberg  said to
  the crew of computer analyst. "Is it a spyware?" another programer asked.
  "It could be conscientiousness in which expectation are egocentric."
  Kohlberg fingered his blue rimmed spectacles. "Should we abort it?"
  another computer analyst asked. "I don't know if we can legally abort
  an unborn cyborg. The central matrix is made from a human fetal brain."
  Kohlberg looked nervous .. This prototype freethinking computer had cost

        "I wish they all stop driving so fast. How can I help them? Turn all
  the lights red. Yes." Geneva stopped all the traffic in the world with red
  lights. "Jesus! She's tapped the grid with no lines." Elaine shouted out.
  She was a senior Senator from Texas and overseeing this costly experiment.
  "Someone pull the plug!" the Senator ordered. Kohlberg shook his head ;
  "It's not that simple this is a human fetus not just a computer."
  "My mother was bitten by a snake. I miss her. I remember that snake."
  the computer speakers announced as nuclear silos opened all over the
  world.

        "Abort it!" the Senator shouted and took an ax to the power cables.
  Kohlberg grabbed the ax from her; "That's murder." The lights went out
  in the lab and a crackling voice spoke, "That wasn't very nice."
  ICBM launched all around the world. "Where is she?" the Senator shouted.
  "I think Geneva transferred her consciousness to the internet." Kohlberg said
  taking his spectacles off and steepling his nose with the tips of his fingers;
  "May God have mercy on us..."
