First David felt he could move his arms and legs. It was difficult, as if he was going through some dense substance, but it worked. Slowly he opened his eyes, but there was still darkness all around, and that familiar voice whispering from a distance.

'David? Are you there?'

Still he couldn't say a word, but he felt his mouth were moving.

'You did not close the optical circuit, Lawrence.' said some other voice.

David blinked several times, and the darkness began to melt away replaced by bright light.

'Okay, done. But why he can't speak?'

'The internal voice-box was damaged...'

'I know! I fixed it of course. David, do you hear me?'

When his eyes caught the sharpness, he saw two faces bending over him. One was worried and the other one just little curious.

'Yes, I can hear you perfectly, miss.' he said finally, looking at that worried face. It belong to young woman, and David assumed that the familiar voice also belongs to her. He felt that this person meant something to him, but he could not remember anything more.

'Miss?' Lawrence was astonish. 'Don't you remember me?'

'I'm not entirely sure, miss.' he rose to sitting position.

'Do you remember anything? Who you are or what you did?'

'My name is David. I am highly advanced artificial companion created by Weyland Industries...'

'He restarted himself.' sighed Walter, interrupting David's speech.

'I can see... Is there anything I could do, to ... you know... restore his memory?' asked Lawrence, biting her lip and looking at David's fake, gentle smile.

'I do not want to give you false hope. There is no... technical way, but you sould try. It can be like with people who have amnesia. Maybe show him some photos or tell him about your common memories. But remember, he stays there at all the time. When you are leaving, you must lock the door...'

'Yes, yes. I know Walter...'

'Excuese me, miss. May I ask who are you?' said David. 'You look very familiar to me, but I can not remember your name.'

'Oh. You say I look familiar, that's a good sign. I'm Lawrence... you gave me that name, and also raised me... In some way I am your doughter.'

'I beg your pardon, miss, but you must be mistaken.' David shook his head. 'Syntetics can not have a child.'

'Not biological doughter, but I am your adopted doughter of course. Peter Weyland was my grandpa... do you remember him?'

'Weyland Industries is the name of the company which create me...'

Lawrence sighed hevily. 'It's going to be harder than I thought.'

And indeed, it was.

Walter was checking Daniels cryotube, again that day. Then he checked all the others tubes and embrions. When he finished his job, he go to the canteen to prepare dinner for Lawrence and after couple of minutes she came in, quite excited.

'Walter, something wonderful happened!' she was yelling from the doorstep, didn't even say hello. 'Today, when I came to the lab, I saw David dyied his hair blonde!' Walter frowned at that.

'So, what? Is it really so exciting? I would say it's creepy.'

'Oh, you don't understand! He used to do so when we lived on Earth, so he looked like T.E. Lawrence, or rather Peter O'Toole playing him.'

'That's interesting.' said Walter, though it sounded like he was not interested at all.

'But when I asked why he was doing it, he wondered for a while and replied he did not know.' continued Lawrence, didn't mind Walter was not amused with what she was talikng about. 'Perhaps it had been written in his code, as a strong habit. We were watching Lawrence of the Arabia yesterday, and maybe something was unblocked...'

'You will think about it later. Now eat, before it get cold.' interrupted Walter, passing her plate with boiled vegetables and roasted potatoes.

'Looks yummy, thanks.' Lawrence sit down at the table and began to eat, mubling something to herself. Walter cleaned the canteen and got back to the Danies' cyrotube, checking it one more time. He had never supposed that the separation with her would be so hard and every day it would becoming harder. Almost three years had passed since they left Paradise, but it wasn't even half of the remaining time. Surprising himself, he began to make plans about their log cabin. Yes, he thought about it as their cabin, not only Daniels', but Daniels' and his. He planned how would it look like, the types of rooms it would contain and the garden he would plant, so they would have their own vegetables. He also wanted to plant floral garden for Daniels, with evergreens nooks where she could hide and rest after long day of work.This thought warmed his heart, though he didn't have one.

He looked at her, sleeping so soundly and calmly and stroking the display of cryotube, he whispered: 'I miss you, Daniels.'

♡♡♡

Time was passing slowly to Lawrence and Walter, but not for David. He was like newborn child, everything was new for him and each day seemed like new adventure, though he never left the lab. Lawrence was telling him about their life on Earth, showed him photos and movies form their trips or days they had spent on the beach, read books he had read her to sleep. He was interested but, despite Lawrence efforts, didn't remember much. She didn't tell him all about the circumstances in which they had found him. That was the part of his life, she didn't want he remembered.

'You think I was a good father, miss?' he asked once, to her surprise.

At first she staied silence, but then she replied slowly: 'You were the most caring and wise father anyone could imagine. And you were not only a father but mother as well. You replaced both parents for me.'

'I assume it do no harm for you, being rised by synthetic?'

'Of course not. It is a pity you don't remember those times.'

'I do feel pity too, miss.' he said, but he looked like he was wondering how pity feels.

'David, could you stop calling me "miss"? It feels bit awkward.' ask Lawrence pouting.

'What should I call you then, miss?'

'Lawrence. You always called me like that.'

'As you wish, miss Lawrence.'

'No...' Lawrence sighed hevily. 'Just Lawrence, without miss, please.'

At this moment Waler went to the lab, interrupting their converstion. It was his first visit in lab since he had helped Lawrence with waking David. They both looked at him curiously.

'We got troubles.'

'What troubles?'

'Come.' Walter made move with his head, which meant Lawrence had to go with him, and went out. When the girl was leaving she heard David quiet words: 'Be careful Lawrence.'

'What is the matter Walter?'

'Nothing. There is no trouble at all, I just want to show you something.'

'So why you said so?'

Walter sent her quite unserious look. 'I know you wouldn't go if I don't say it's something serious.'

'It's very uncomfortable, when you act like that.' Lawrence mumbled, but when she saw what Walter wanted to show her, she immediately stoped. The space on the other side of window was so beautiful, no words could describe it. Lawrence thought that it looks like some primeval gods spilt their most valuable and precious paints, which they used to coloured rare and wonderful things in the universe. Her eyes glows of excitement.

'Quill's Nebula.' said Walter.

'Yes, I know.' Lawrence shook her head in amazement. 'David have to see it.'

'You could show him on the display.' Walter voice became stern.

'It is not the same. Please, just for ten minutes.'

'No Lawrence! You promised me he won't leave the lab!' The robot folded his arms.

'But...'

'Enough or I start to regret that I show you this.' after this words, he turned back and went away, leaving her alone.

♡♡♡

David still was enchanted, despite he saw nebula only on display in the lab.

'The universe is so beautiful, I wonder how Origae-6 will look like.' he said.

'It is very similar to Earth, however, you know, wild and free from humans, but not for long. I can't wait to see it, go throgh the nameless woods and mountains, drink water from crystal clear streams and swim in infinite ocean.'

'But you should examine the water before you drink it, Lawrence.' he said in serious voice. Lawrence laughed loudly, like he hadn't laughed since a long time. David smiled, content he made her laugh, but after a while he got serious again and said:

'Why you decide to left your home, and live at other planet, Lawrence?' he look at her intensively.

Lawrence stoped laughing and sighed 'I do not left my home.' looking at him sadly, she added 'I went on this journey to seek a one.'
