Title: Missing Memory Link

Sis listened as the two men discussed the problems which had
been plaguing the security systems at the Center.  She won-
dered to herself if her brother had really forgotten what he had
secretly installed  onto the first security level two days before his
car blew up just as he was getting out of it.  She knew he had
been suffering from blackouts for the last few weeks but still
she didn't altogether trust that his memory had failed him.

"Try to think, did you install anything which would automatically
force a shutdown or surge feedback to the incorrect passworded
terminal or workstation?" Yates asked him impatiently, quietly.

Her brother just sat there, shaking his head, obviously at a
loss.  He said, "I remember we were working on a couple of
chips, trying to link them directly to the Organic Codes and
we were close...  I keep thinking about how surprised we were
to find out we needed hardly any power at all when we..."
Sis interupted, "Anyone need anything?  Coffee?  How about
it Yates, you want something?"
Her brother suddenly stared at her and she knew he
remembered because he said, "Sis!  It was you..." and he
quickly glanced at Yates and back to her, "Yes, I think some
tea or coffee would be great.  Thanks."

Sis was relieved he didn't go on.  She knew he wouldn't want
Yates to know they had found the link - the abiogenetic link,
using her "power" to merge the circuits  with his organic codes.

abio.gen.e.sis n [NL, fr. a- + bio- + L genesis] (1870): the supposed
   spontaneous origination of living organisms directly from lifeless
   matter -- abi.og.e.nist n.

Yates stood, hands on the table looking her brother in the eye,
"Was Jeannie involved with your research and use of the codes?"
He turned to her, demanding, " Were you, Jean?  Do you know
what's going on here?"


"This sentence no verb."
luv,
d.
