INTERNATIONAL 4- 8818: why are you talking to Liberty 5- 3000? You know doing that is wrong and it might cost you your life?
EQULITY 7- 2521: Not until you get this feeling that I have about her will you understand me. I have never felt like this before and I know she has awakened a certain desire in me that I have never imagined of before.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: but you know nothing is supposed to go on between her and you, at least according to the rules?
EQULITY 7- 2521: I am willing to pay the price. If we are caught, too bad but as long as no one else apart from you is aware of this, I know liberty 5- 3000 and I will be safe.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: You cannot be sure, what if I set you up?
EQULITY 7- 2521: I know you can never do that, you are my friend remember?
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: I fear for your lives even if you do not seem to realize it. But what do you care; you have always been a risk taker.
EQULITY 7- 2521: I just came to realize that life is about taking risks, that way, it becomes adventurous and exciting. But again, if we get caught, I will take responsibility for my actions. I just don’t know what she will do if that happens. Maybe she too is up to the task. She is a brave girl I know.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: Now, away from your fantasies and feelings for a girl, why did you sing so loudly at that time, you know you will make everyone one into your life by making yourself their business?
EQULITY 7- 2521: I know, but that won’t happen again. I have learned to be very careful out here. It is tough here and I have to be on the lookout. It is just you and I know who know what is going on and I trust you will not tell anyone, swear to me you won’t. I know I am going against the rules but what else can I do, you know I love her?
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: Don’t you trust me my friend, your secret is safe with me. But try to be discrete because that way you will go far with Liberty 5- 3000. What are friends for if not keeping secrets?
EQULITY 7- 2521: That is what I call real friendship. I trust you won’t tell anybody.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: now there is something I have been meaning to ask you. I have a strong feeling that the Council of Elders should not know about your electricity invention?
EQULITY 7- 2521: I wonder why there are strict rules out here. You know that invention stands to benefit everyone but now these strict rules keep on curtailing progress. What do you think I should do?
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: Just keep it a secret for now. Learn from my experience about how I was punished for breaking the rules. You will thank me later.
EQULITY 7- 2521: I wish we had a little bit of independence and freedom to do as we please, out world could be a better place to live in, don’t you think so?
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: Sure but then we will have to live with what is there because we have no choice.
EQULITY 7- 2521: Why should we owe our lives to everyone even the lazy bones? Despite the challenges we are facing I will not relent. I will go on with my invention and am also ready to pay the price.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: You are so determined. But I admire your guts.
EQULITY 7- 2521: I am keen on chasing my dreams and I will pursue them no matter wat. I don’t care what comes my way.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: What do you think about the tunnel?
EQULITY 7- 2521: What about it?
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: have you forgotten it?
EQULITY 7- 2521: Oh no, that tunnel is mine and by know you should be knowing your boundaries. I just hope you are not going to report to the authorities.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: You must be joking, that tunnel is not yours? How on earth can you even think like that?
EQULITY 7- 2521: One thing that I know brother, is that this is between me and you? You cannot dare report me to the authorities because of the implications thereafter. You won’t be in a position to defend yourself and distance yourself from me when you report me. I will be caned to death that I know but you won’t stand it if that happens before your eyes? Your conscious will never allow you to live with that knowing very well you are the reason I was killed.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: You leave me no choice but to cover up for you even when I know I am going against the rules.
EQULITY 7- 2521: You are my friend and I trust you will defend me just like I know I will defend you at all times.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: You will have to remember that I will have given up everything for you, and so you will have to be very careful.
EQULITY 7- 2521: I know. I won’t let you down. But then, I am so grateful and because of that I will forever remain indebted to you.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: Don’t mind, what are friends for if not be a brother’s keeper?
EQULITY 7- 2521: Thank you, all I will need is just two hours a day.
INTERNATIONAL 4-8818: That is nice; we will find a way out.
EQULITY 7- 2521: Wow, Thanks a lot my friend, I am grateful and thank you for your support.
