Kuang Grade Mark Eleven was growing. `Dixie, you think this thing'll work?' `Does a bear shit in the woods?' The Flatline punched them up through shifting rainbow strata. Something dark was forming at the core of the Chinese program. The density of information overwhelmed the fabric of the matrix... It took a dozen quick, peripheral takes before he had it, a shark thing, gleaming like obsidian, the black mirrors of its flanks reflecting faint distant lights that bore no relation ship to the matrix around it. `That's the sting,' the construct said. `When Kuang's good and bellytight with the Tessier-Ashpool core, we're ridin' that through...' `Well, you got time to kill, kid,' the flatline

And now we'll take a shot at doing it in reality, just forty years later.
