NovelEnglishLights flickered on around the transport and I realized where we were. The transport had dropped through a large hole in the desert floor. We were in a cavern deep beneath the surface.
“Shut it up, Thom,” one of the guys said.
Our transport went closer to the wall and the man that had carriedleaned over and turned several dials embedded in the rock. The giant hole we’d cthrough was soon covered by a slab of rock on a complicated conveyor.
I looked around and saw where we were. The cavern was just wide enough for a transport, with a little leeway on each side. I looked over the side of the transport and saw water flowing beneath us.
“Back up, Rachel, the air shield is off.” the man named Thom said, “The air shields will cback on when we start to move forward.”

“Welcto freedom,” another man said smiling at us and the transport took off.

I held tight to Rose and she to me. The men didn’t understand our terror and in no way showed consideration for it.
“I am Brand, rescued from the Youly compound. What will you do now that you are free?,” one of them asked jovially. “I have heard tell that sof our women are going to arrange portals back to Earth. Will you do that?”

Rose refused to look at the man and stared into my eyes looking shocked. That displeased him.
“Cnow, you are free. Talk to me, no one will harm you for it. Tellhow you feel.”
He was quite a persistent man.

“Children are important to you?” he asked stepping closer.
“Are they important to all humans? I have wondered a long time.”
The man’s inquisitive nature madesmile despite my fear.
“You have human breeders in your line, don’t you?” I asked.
The man Laughed and now I had their attention.
“How did you know?” the man named Thom asked.
