IG-88 Stealth

He  moved  quietly  in  the  darkness,  using  stealth rou­tines  and  camouflaging  algorithms  to  insinuate  himself  into  the  fortified  household  of  Bolton  Kek, one  of the  original neural network designers of the IG series.

Kek  had  laid   the  groundwork  for  the  Holowan  Labo­ratories'  project,  but  then  he  had  taken  another  con­sulting  job,  retiring  from  Imperial  service  on  "moral  grounds."  Bolton  Kek  had  retired  to  the  world  of Peridon's  Folly,  where  he  sold his  services to  the various  weapon runners.

The  target  lay  asleep  in  his  dim  bedroom,  and  IG-88  moved  forward  in  utmost   silence.  Talking  directly  to  them  in  binary,  he  had  bypassed  the  myriad  alarm sys­tems  and  security  fields  on  Kek's  home.  Inside,  IG-88  enhanced  his optical  sensors to  pick up  the dim  light in  the room.
