.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlFrom the northern entrance came a sizzle and a flash of light.Dors knew thatsound very well: a neural whip, fired from several dozen meters.The three menaround Hari jerkedand danced for a moment, then fell to the floor, moaning.Hari stood untouched.Dors ran as fast as she could toward the small, intense-looking womanstanding near the northern entrance.This woman still held the neural whip,and seemed to have eyes only for Hari.In less than four seconds, Dors movedto within less than two meters of her.Vara Liso cried out with the effort of her persuasion.The hall seemed tofill with voices, ugly demanding voices.Hari clutched his hands over his earsand winced, and the men on the floor twitched even more violently, but themain force of the mentalic bolt went toward Dors.Dors had never felt such a blast, had never known humans were capable of suchdischarges.She had felt Daneel's subtle persuasive abilities during hertraining period on Eos, nothing more.It seemed perfectly natural, in mid-stride, on her way to incapacitating andif necessary killing this woman who threatened Hari, simply to pull up herlegs and attempt to fly.Her body of metal and synthetic flesh curled into aball and she glanced off the woman's upper shoulder, knocking her to one side.Dors caromed from the opposite wall and fell to the floor in a tangle.Shecould not move; she did not want to move, not at that moment, perhaps not everagain.75.Daneel left the taxi at the Greys' Entrance on the east side of the ImperialCourts Building, then stood by the small double metal doors.He wore theuniform of a lifetime bureaucrat, native to Trantor and not a student orpilgrim; he had reserved this identity decades ago, among many others, and ifqueried by any security guards, there would be files in thepersonnel computers to explain him and his duties, his right to be here.The doors were ornately inscribed with the general rules of public service.The first rule was Do no harm to your Emperor or his subjects.Even in the taxi, Daneel had felt the mentalic explosions, from the generalvicinity of the palace, but did not know what they signified, if anything.Itwas easy to imagine his plans unraveling, now that they were almost complete.He had juggled for so long, keeping literally tens of millions of balls in theair at once.He shifted the small bureaucratic valise under his arm and entered a specificand reserved code for entry by a gray administrative officer.It was refused.The codes had all been changed; there was an emergency withinthe Courts Building, perhaps within the palace itself.Here.My Other is within the building.Joan, split into many Joans, manymeme-minds, worked from both sides.Page 219 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlThe left-hand door opened, and he entered the building.It took him longer than he expected to make his way through the securefacilities, even with Joan's help.On the last door, when he knew he was within two doors of joining Hari in thebeautiful, high-ceilinged Hall of Dispensation, Joan distracted a human guardby sending him revised watch instructions.Daneel smelled electricity in the next segment of hallway.A neural whip hadbeen discharged here in the last few minutes76.Hari faced Vara Liso across the Hall of Dispensation.She stood for a momentwith hands held out, fingers wriggling, as if she fought to keep her balance.Her head swayed fromside to side.The woman who had entered before her who had reminded him somuch of Dors lay in a heap, rolled up against the door, still, as if dead.Hari did not feel afraid; things had happened too quickly for that emotion totake hold.Everything seemed out of place, most of all himself; he did notbelong there, and they did not belong there.The hall had been peaceful now it smelled of electricity, of urine leakingfrom the pants of the three men supine on the floor around him."I'm saving you." Vara Liso said from across the hall.She took a steptoward him, lowering her arms."For last.""Who are you?" Hari asked.He was concerned about the woman on the floor [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
