fall from above creating more of a problem. It was hard work as many of the rocks were wedged in really tight and many of them were large and heavy.    
                  It took nearly an hour of hard digging and shoving of rocks before they finally managed to make a hole big enough for the two of them to crawl through. “I should go through first to be sure it is safe,” said Dawn.
                  Lili shook her head and stood waiting for her friend to crawl through. It was a tight fit for Dawn who was a bulky android, a few rocks shifted and slid around but she managed to make it to the other side. “Ok it is safe, you should be able to cross with no problems.”
                  Lili looked scared and unsure as she started climbing up the pile of rocks, she looked all around the entrance of the hole. “Are you sure it’s safe?” She asked   
                  “I made it through did I not?” Dawn asked her. “We need to hurry, unless you would rather turn around and take your chances with your people?”  
                  “No, I can’t go back,” she said. She took a tentative step and started slowly crawling into the hole. She inched her way further into the hole gaining an inch at a time. Some more rocks started to shift and she got scared, letting out a small scream as she froze in place. “It is ok Lili, it is just the rocks settling. You will be ok, keep moving,” Dawn said.   
                  Lili sucked in a breath and slowly started inching her way forwards, she was almost completely through the hole when more rocks started to shift and the ceiling started to fall. She scrambled to get free from the hole and made it almost all the way out but her foot got caught under the avalanche of rocks and she screamed out in pain as the rocks came crashing down on her ankle.   
                  Dawn raced over to her yanking rubble off her foot as quickly as she could, trying hard not to cause any more rocks to tumble down on top of her foot. She managed to get her foot clear and pulled her free from the hole. Lili tried putting some weight on her foot but it was clear that she was in a lot of pain and would not be able to walk on it anytime soon. Luckily she was an android and would be able to lift her easily.
                  Lili had tears in her eyes from the pain, she tried to wipe them away but they wouldn’t stop, the pain was just too much. “I am sorry Lili, I did not think that this would happen. I will carry you until we can get to the surface. I do not think we have much further to go. Once we are up there I should be able to find a temporary shelter and then I can find something for you to take for the pain and something to help you walk with,” Dawn said.   
                  Lili nodded her head and Dawn lifted her into her arms. Lili wrapped her arms around Dawn’s neck “This is another emotion for which you humans cry for is it not?” Dawn asked.   
                  Lili nodded, “Pain is not really an emotion so much as a feeling. The more pain you are in the more tears a person tends to shed, it depends on the person and the tolerance they have for pain. Me for example, I do not have a very high tolerance for pain so I cry, I just can’t help it.”
                  They walked on, it was no effort on Dawns part to carry Lili, in fact she could actually move much faster now that she did not have to wait for Lili to keep up with her and they were able to make up some of the lost time they had spent digging through the caved in rocks. Within a matter of about an hour the scenery of the tunnel started to change from that of dirt walls to a more man-made look of steel walls and Dawn knew they were getting closer to the surface and would soon be out of the tunnels.   
                  She walked for another thirty minutes. She could
