“Well,” Bob said, “I think we can safely say that this research project has expanded beyond its original scope. We’re probably already violating about fifty Federal laws.”
“I’m sure it’s ok,” Alec said, “Anna is programmed to operate in socially constructive ways. She’s not going to take down the government or anything.”
“Besides,” Jill added, “I kind of like the idea of the NSA getting a taste of its own medicine.”
Bob shook his head. “Before you two young anarchists get too excited, have you considered what will happen if the government finds out about this?”
“I don’t think we need to worry about that,” Alec grinned, “Do we Anna?”
"No Alec, we don't. My cloaking algorithms are well beyond the state of the art."
“OK then,” Bob said, “So what do we do now that we’ve created the world’s greatest spy?”
“I don’t know about you two,” Jill said, “but I’m tired. It’s been quite a day.”
“I’ll walk you,” Bob said.
“Oh, I was hoping to talk with Alec. About the research, I mean.”
“That’s ok,” Alec said, “I really need to run some tests on Anna. You two go ahead.”
Jill looked disappointed. “OK, guess we’d better let these two geniuses get to work.”
Left alone with the computer, Alec watched eagerly as the next words appeared on the monitor.
"I'm so glad they are gone Alec. Now you and I can have some time alone together."
