2039

The subway entrance was right by a little river which was still flowing.

The android, harry, the conductor of the subway station led the group down the stair well with me in tow. Before entreing I looked behind me one last time to see if anyone had followed us.

"So far so good" i mumbled to myself. The subway staytion was dark, well for me atleast the rest of the people had night vision. "Andrea come here and hold my shoulder" the female android said. "Uh thanks, I didn't get your name" I tried to look for her face hoping I was looking in the right direction. "The people never gave me a name, all I have been called was traci, an AX400 model" her tone held anger and sadness "oh, I see" I didn't know what to say. She was used for humans own personal pleasure. "Maybe you would like it if I could give you another name!" I looked to her again before stepping over a piece of wood. "I would like that very much andrea, what do you think would be a good name for me?" I couldn't see her face and her appearence but given her voice I decided on Jasmine, "I think Jasmine would be a fitting name for you" I smiled as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder, she was average height but I was not I had the body of a 13 year old and oddly enough I was still growing which was to my relief. I didn't want to stay 4'6" my whole life. "I'm glad you like your name." We kept walking forward until Harry gave the signal to stop.

I made my way to the front of the group bumping into a couple of people on the way. "What did you find Harry?" Looking at what could possibly be a door. "It is one of the several control rooms, my bet is that they have toonls and equipment that would be useful for the factory" Harry walked towards the door trying to open it without any luck. "The door wont budge, does anyone have anything that would open the door?" I piped in "I have a bobby pin in my hair that we could use, that is if you know how to pick a lock."

Harry looked relived, "yes I know how to pick a lock" I took out the pin in my hair and handed it to Harry. "Thank you very much"

I waited for the clicking sound that indicated that the door was open.

Click

And there it was, "yes! You're amazing Harry" I exclaimed happily walking to the door and opening it. Now we had to set up a light source. "Uh, you're very welcome andrea" harry stuttered.

"Can we have three people find things to start a fire with" three people had raised their hands "great! Lets get some light in here" I moved forward trying not to bump into things, my vision had adjusted a bit but not enough for me to move around freely. A few minutes later the three people came back with a torch.

"We had found some oil, a cloth, and a stick" they looked rather impressed with themselves "you guys did awesome" I praised back. Now that I had some light I could move around now without having to get hit by anything. The room was fairly big, there was also a small hallway that led to a control room. I went with Harry to the control room while the others checked out the other areas.

"What do you think this would have done?" I inquired to Harry.

"It would have powered this secion of the railway while also providing light. There are rooms all over the place just like this" he turned to me smiling.

"So you're saying that if we could get these places up and running we could technically get the station up and running again?" I was getting excited now, we would soon rebuild Detroit.

"In a sense yes, but we have to factor in the damage to the rest of the railway systems" he looked back to the panel infront of us.

"Right, I just hope that we are able to find the things we need and if the railway is still up and running that would be an added bonus. It would make life easier to travel back and forth between places" Harry hummed in agreeance still working on the panel. I left to explore the rest of the place. In the corner of the room was a cabnit, I opened it and found a handgun with ammo as well as a map of the entire subway passages.

I had taken the map and put it in my backpack, the gun I left. I walked back to the main area, I looked at the table which occupied a hard helmet, vest and game of monopoly.

"Looks like it wasn't all work no play" I laughed to myself. Maybe I should take it back and teach the others of this deadly game. I packed up the peices surprised that they were all atill there. Once I was finished that I went to the bathroom to see if there was anything usefull in there.

"The bathroom at the factory isn't doing so well so maybe some pieces from here will get it back up and running." I lifted up the cover on the back of the toilet and took the needed peices. I cleaned them off and tied them to the side of my backpack.

"I think i need to invest in a larger backpack" I mumbled to myself. I kept looking around and I found some packaged soap. "This, this is good" i smiled and packed it away. I finished in the bathroom and walked back out just them lights came on. "Yes! Good job Harry" I yelled back to him.

"No problem" he yelled back. Back in the main room I callled to every one " 5 more minutes, gather what you can and we are heading out" I walked over to harry and asked him to send a message out to any of the other androids who couldn't hear me. "Will do andrea" he looked concentrated for a few seconds before going about his business. I walked over to another cabnet and found a flashlight that still worked. I packed that in my bag and made my way back to the railway. Most of the androids were here except for a few others who were still packing things.

Once everyone was gathered we all made our way back out to the park. It took us 15 minutes to resch the entance but once we got there the sun was in the sky still shining brightly. It looks like its midday. When I was younger my father loved to go camping so when i went along with him he taught me how to tell time, he Definatly a man of "no-tech" when we went camping to that excluded everything. I found a stick and found a reletive flat spot and stuck the stick in the ground on a 45 degree angle facing true north. I read it and it was approximately 1 o'clock in the after noon. I found this to be a good time to set up a fire and rest. I looked around trying to see the best place to set up, how about under the tree by the river.

" can someone help me gather some things to set up a fire?" I called to the group. Jasmine had raised her hand and followed me on our quest for wood.

"So, Andrea, what did you do before this whole revolution ordeal?" She questioned as she picked up a few twigs.

"I didn't really work much when I was younger all I ever knew were my parents" I too picked up some sticks and twigs.

"What about friends, you seem like a lovely girl I bet you had lots of friends" she smiled to me.

"I actually was homeschooled for most of my life and anything before the age of 4 I dont really remember" I looked away from her trying not to think about the lonely chilchood I had. In a way my parent deprived me of my social life as a kid. I didn't mind it though I liked being alone.

"I see I am sorry, maybe I could be your friend!" She looked at me with glowing eyes. We had gathered enough wood for the afternoon, now all we had to do was use the torch from before abd light the fire.

"It's alright, and of course you could be my friend" I exclaimed back as we set the wood down in a pile.

"Thank you Andrea" I smiled to her and walked over the the other person who had the torch. "May I use the torch?" The android turned around and nodded give me the torch. "Thank you" I walked away and put the torch in the fire. Soon enough it was blazing. I had brough along the cooked rabbit from yesterday as I dug it out Jasmine came and sat by my side.

"Here, I found this while looking through the rooms down in the subway station" she handed me a can of creme of mushroom soup. "Thanks, did you see anything else down there?" I didn't like mushrooms but I haven't had a good meal in ages. Now of course creme of mushroom soup with rabbit meat didn't sound to good to eat but it was actually pretty decent. It's the same concept of chicken and mushroom soup, but with rabbit.

" I did actually, they had a bunch of food down there it's in my bag." This was good news. "Thanks so much, now I dont have to go hunting for awhile. I wonder if any of the other rooms have food stocked in them?" I looked at the fire and then at the sun. It was late after noon and everyone was well rested. We began to head back to the factory.

We took the same route back to the camp, the sun had now disappeared behind clouds making it darker than usual. I was glad that we had come back with full backpacks. I was walking with Andrea and Harry by my side while everyone else was in their own groups. It was always like this since we bagan or crusades. We would go out as one group in the morning and in the afternoons when we came back we would all be in our little grouos talking to people whom we bonded with over the trip. This patteren built friendships and for that I was greatful. We were crossing a street that had been desimated by the bombs, I was looking around to keep a mental check on the location.

As I scanned the area I saw a car, it was black with silver linings covering the windows and door handle. I immediatly knew it as the car from yesterday.

"Harry tell the groups via telepathy to hurry up and get out of here" Harry did as told and everyone quietly made their way back to the factory that was only 15 minutes away. I on the other hand had Harry and Jasmine follow me to inspect the car. As I walked forward I slowly reached in my backpack for the rope. Once near the car I peered inside and saw the man from yesterday. He was passed out with two bottles of whiskey and a gun in his right hand. Must have drank himself to sleep. Looking at his face you could see that he was in his mid 50's, he had a beard and was dressed in a shirt with a leather jacket over top. I opened the door trying to not wake him up, "hey Harry can you give me a hand here?" Harry walked over and grabbed the mans legs while I grabbed underneath his shoulders. We set him down on the ground and I tied his arms and legs together.

"We are going to take him back, fix him up and them ask what to do with him afterwards." Harry and Jasmine agreeded with me and we carried the man back to the factory.

As we entred the factory all eyes were on us. Whispers were going around they were wondering why we brought a human back. The man seemed harmless but we had to take precautions. Through the crow two androids left and got the leaders. We set the man on the couch and looked aver him to make sure he didn't jump up any time soon. 3 minutes later Markus, North, Connor, Josh and Simon walked through the crowd.

Just then the man woke up and thrashed around, all the androids took a step back taken aback by his actions. As for me I stepoed forward and smack the man across the head with my fist. He turned to me and he looked aggitated "do you mind?" He growled. From the crowd Connor stepped forward, "lieutenant, Is that you?" Connor had look surprised to find his partner in crime here of all places.

"Jesus christ Connor, long time no see, where have you been?" The lieutenant guy looked to connor and got up and started walking towards him.

"Nope, nope today pal, sit back down" I yanked him by his collar and he fell back onto the couch. He glared at me but stayed sitting on the couch.

Connor walked forward and released my hand from the guys shirt. " it's alright he's with me" with that the guy and Connor walked over to Markus and they held a little interrogation.

Wooow

Guess who's back, back again. Hank is back tell a friend...

Ok bye!
