THE

1.

All of us, we sleep in pairs, having a too big apartment that would give us each our own room would not be good for the equality rule that this robot society has made. We are already in truble with these new robotcops snooping around town. Them bastards, if they even knew how they are being controled by some system, some system that we don't know anyting about, not a thing. The more security that the society puts up the more it worries us. Katalea even thinks that there are a few Humans still alive, and not like us being hunted all the time always on the run. No, but like humans that the robots except like someting in that chip in there heads say that they're okay to stay humans. Well, there has to be someone updating the system, making desicions on what changes to be done. Robots don't have their own will and if no one tells them otherwise they'll just do what they are progammed to do.

Damn, I'm slipping.

As i said we all share rooms. Me and Katalea who is the leader of the group she is the one who saved us all and herself. Beau and Landon, they are bestfriends.. Then there are Dionna and Trissy, They aren't best friends but they like the same things and alsoe Dionna is thrilled to live next door to Beau and Trissy is the only one she can stand living in the same room as, she has quite a temper.. Last but not... well yeah least, we have the twins Indigo and Lionel we saved them just a few moths ago it was the first rescue mission or mission at all that I got to come along with Katalea. I was so happy that she actually took me with her I mean I'm 17 and Beau has been coming with Katalea on missions since he was 14.

I know it's not because I'm a girl because Katalea is a girl too but i always thought it was because she thought i couldn't take it because I'm a daydreamer and very easily distracted, but Beau says that it is because I'm her favourite. Dionna teases me alot and calls me momas girl or momas LIL girl, I don't let it get to me though because that's just how she is, she likes to mess with people.

Like all other mornings we have to check our videocameras the first thing we do, to be sure we're not followed or to make sure no one was here this night. It can be stressfull sometimes living like this, on the run all the time. I sometimes dream about how it must have been before, before all this started like maybe 150 years ago in the beginning of the 21 century. Katalea gave me some books for my 15 th birthday, history books. The books were from the 21 century and in the books I read about many of the progresses humanity made in technoligy. Maybe that's why it is how it is now but best would of been if they just would of stopped before it became to much to handle. Alot has changed since then, it used to be migestic and enormous citys called capital citys, alot like our headquarters, but we don't have the beautiful tall buildings they called skyscrapers here. I think I would have fitted in there in the 21 century. I could have grown up in the big city, one with skyscrapers. I would have gone to a nice school with alot of people, have alot of friends and all of them independent minds, creative, funny, adventures and ambitious. Me and my friends would hunt down our dreams of becoming famous, successfull or just happy. We would catch them too. Then i would start a job in a skyscraper living the big city dream, find a nice husband who could teach me all about love, have kids. My own kids, kids i'd love so much I'd collapse just thinking about losing them. Then when i grew old i'd retair early and explore the world with my family, see all the corners of this once full of life planet until there was no more to see or until i died in the arms of the one i love. I'd die of old age, maybe around 85. It wouldn't matter because i would have had the time of my life and i would be so happy and...Well, that's not going to happen is it?

I dream too much. Beau always likes to remind me that what matters is what is happening now and that whatever it is we should appriciate what we are given. Everyday is a blessing, he says. And should my dreams ever come true it would not be because i sat dreaming that they would, it would be because i did something about. It sounds pretty credible, but wether it's true or not doesn't matter because out of all my dreams my 21 century dream for sure, won't come true.

Most days are pretty slow and there is not alot of things happening. So we've gotten kind of awesome at passing time. We always find new ways to make the time go faster until something interesting or exiting happens. We play games, go on city adventures in town. Our favourite though is to prank eachother, playing mean games . We all do it so it's okay, but sometimes i feel sorry for the little ones, Indigo and Lionel there only 6 years old and can't really keep up with us older children and get the worst of it. Katalea stays out during the day. No one really knows what she is up to and when we ask her about it she tells us that it doesn't matter but that what she is doing is to protect us. I'm just curious but I don't feel like i have to know, I trust that whatever it is she is doing she knows whats best for us and of all of us there is no one as pure and warmhearted as Katalea. No one could ever replace her to me she is just like the moms i read about in my books, loving and would do absolutly anything to protect her kids.

At night when Katalea comes home, she usually comes home to a ready to eat dinner that we take turns making and we all watch 21 century movies on the vintage screen Katalea found a few years back. When we feel like it we go to bed. For us our life is somehow very strikt but at the same time very free. Much more free than all the other humans but much more locked in and less free than the 21 century humans. There were rules then but the rules were made to protect them more than to control them. I'm sure alot of people like me dreamed of having a more free life than they had. If I could go back and meet one of those dreamers I would tell them that they are so much more blessed then they know. Though all the circumstances, so am I.
