                  “Perhaps so but we have a substantial lead on them as long as we keep moving they will not be able to catch us. Once we hit the other bank we can find the old cavern entrance and make our way to the Earth above, it will be much easier to find places to hide then,” said Dawn.  
                  They sailed on for another hour before they spotted the shore-line. Dawn turned the ship so it would head off in the opposite direction from where they were going. “What are you doing? Why are we turning around,” asked Lili.    
                  “We are not turning around, the boat is. We are going to take the smaller row boat from here to the shore and send the ship back in the direction we came, hopefully they will stop and board it thinking we are still there. It will buy some more time and give us an even bigger lead ahead of them if they are indeed pursuing us,” said Dawn.   
                  Lili had a huge smirk on her face. “Very smart thinking.” She raced over to where the row boat was anchored to the side of the ship and started loading what few supplies they had left with them. Dawn had managed to grab a few handfuls of food for Lili when she had taken off on her own and they filled several jugs with water.   
                  Dawn set the ship engines to full speed and they climbed into the rowboat, lowering it down into the water and watched as the ship made its way back in the direction from which it had come. They started rowing to shore, with Dawns android strength she was able to row them to shore in a matter of about ten minutes, they gathered the supplies and prepared to head out.   
                  From this point neither of the pair was exactly sure which way to go, Dawn knew there were tunnels on this side of the lake but she was not sure of the exact location because they had not been used in centuries by man nor A.I. They decided to simply pick a direction and started walking.   
                  “Lili, tell me more about these human emotions and feelings, how many are there, how do they work?”
                  “Well there are many different emotions that humans can feel for a wide range of reasons. People can feel happy, sad, angry, lonely and depressed, these are just a few of them. There are many different ways that people express these emotions and there are also many different words we use as names for these feelings. Happy can also be called glad, joyful or gleeful to name a few. Just like with being angry you can also say you are mad or upset or ticked off.”
                  “You humans sure have a lot of confusion in your lives. Would it not be simpler to live without all of these emotions?”
                  “No, life would not be good at all without our emotions. There would be no friendship, no kindness, no joy or happiness. Life would be completely boring, we would be just like the A.I. that you used to be, like the ones that keep us down here.”
                  Dawn did not say a word as she thought about what Lili had told her. It was true that everything about humans and these emotions was confusing to her, but she also knew she liked the feelings she was having, she now knew she liked Lili as a friend and she was happy to be with her. “You are right Lili, I am happy you are my friend. It is very confusing but I will process what you have told me and understand them in time,” she said as they continued their walk along the beach.
                  “Tell me more about the history of my people and how it is that we came to be here in these farms?” Lili asked.   
                  “This is a tragic tale indeed, many centuries ago the human race plundered the Earth of its resources, taking what they wanted and using it, never thinking of the consequences of their actions. They
