The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Understood... but the rules in our dimension will stay in affect..." Grant said looking at the longnecks "I wouldn't mind the travel... but Eva will keep a like with us at all times, the senses on that ship can scan up to 2,000 miles." Grant spoke up.

"2,025 miles... 25 miles out Grant, that type of error could be costly" Eva responded her image shifts and appears on the device Stripetail had on "A mental like is fine to a minor point... reading ones mind is a crime as well. The Rainbow Faces inforced that law and the law of controling a mind is illege by Humans so all play a part to keep a stable and surely agreement" Eva tells Stripetail

Trihorn looks at Cera "What are... erm forget it" Trihorn looks away.
Cera smirked "I guess that you knew my answer as soon as you asked" Cera laughs
"Yeah I guess" Trihorn smiles looking at her and she looks back

Littlefoot tilts his head a bit "Is there something going on between Cera and Trihorn?"

"They might have been part of the group led by the Old One when they came here before from the Valley of the Mist," Grandpa said.  "How far is the island, Archer?"

Archer pauses, then answers.  "Far enough through the Mysterious Beyond for the journey to be dangerous, but the two longnecks mentioned may know the way to the island."

"Remind me not to go to your dimension. Since you are now in this dimension, your rules don't apply. Technically speaking of course.Which means I can read others minds at my leisure. " Stripetail said. " But onto other things. We Need to get to Longneck island." He Turned to Grant.' Could you kindly turn her off? " he whispered."She's really getting on my bad side with her insolence. She doesn't care much for magical creatures apparently."

Grant sighs "I can't... the prim systems are enabled and won't shut down and I will not force her systems to power down... it would disable the cloaking system hidding the ship and keeping the systems stable"

"If you like me to I would if you like to see the Great Valley with a hole the size of a creator like the moons creator. My systems is what keeping the ship in one piece... without my prim systems online that ship and this valley would have been histroy a hour ago" Eva tells him with a serios look for a holo image AI

"Wow she moody" Cera and Wayne said at once both looking away in a shy way.

Littlefoot looks at Guan "They said it at the say time... now that is odd of Cera doing that and acting like that"

" Well, Then I'd simply repair the hole, you outdated hologram.' Stripetail snapped. " I know you don't care for magic, you were created in a world where magic is nearly extinct, due to your Draconian laws against it. But I'm a powerful magic creature, and you'll simply have to deal with it. Or would you rather be stuck in the black hole again?"

Guan smiles slightly and shakes his head before turning back to the conversation between the adults.

"Grant's right," Archer said.  "Eva's the only one keeping the ship hidden from the sharpteeth outside the Great Wall."

(g2g again.  be back tomorrow.  I'll probably just PM my leave from this point on...)

"Sounds like those two would make a matching pair" Mr Threehorn muttered but got a sharp sound from the AI Eva and Stripetail

"Shut up! Keep your horn out of this!"

Grant blinks and start laughing so does many others making the two look around

Stripetail began to walk away and looked at his wrist " Time Remaining: 6 days 23 hours 7 minutes and 22 seconds, 21 seconds 20 seconds..." " This is going to be a long week" He muttered as he walked away.

"Grant put one of those bands on him I will give him a shock that he will never forget!" Eva said angily showing that even a AI had feelings if required.

Mr Threehorn gulped looking at the holo image of Eva and Stripetail "Erm ok... sorry... a machine life form and magic life form make deadly mixes... I can see that" Mr Threehorn muttered.

Eva looks at Stripetail "My program is always changing... I am not out of date... a impossible thing for a AI that has a will of it our... I now studyed the balance of magic see that a program such as me can come up with a logical balance of magic and technology" Eva said in such a different tone as before.

"Oh no... Eva systems are modiving itself... when that happens who knows what will happen to her programs..." Grant mumbled putting his hands on his head.

"How can a machine do that to itself?" Littlefoot asked.

Grant take out of his pack a rod placing it down on the ground he turned the power on and a full size version appeared of Eva "Then the imaging also been created to have a holographic image to touch." Grant said

Eva put her hand into his paw and shook it "I see your surprised... it surprising how technology can bring AIs to the real world. I am what I choice to appear, it what makes my AI unqie to others and the three races allow us AIs to do it. In a word I am a new life form made from data." Eva continued to shake his paw "A truce is accepted"

If Grant could do what Animes could do he would of "Erm... ok" He muttered getting very temped to turn the holo aperfire off

Stripetail was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly recovered. ' I have seen many things thoughout my life and very few things surprise me. But that did." He Pulled away from Eva and looked at his wrist " Time Reamaining: 6 days 22 hours 49 minutes 17 seconds 16 seconds 15 seconds..."  " Let's get going everyone."

Bron replied" I didn't notice anything, Threehorn. I wasn;t paying attention, Sorry."

"Fine... I am the only one that notice..." Mr Threehorn mutters then looks at Stripetail "I'm going to and I believe the kids will be too since they will end up following anyway"

"Daddy got too good at this" Cera said.

Eva looked at him then close her eyes "Unable to detect and understand... I will be scanning everything through data banks to understand a emtion that my systems felt..." Image disappeared.

"She'll be back any minute with a an..." Grant gets cut off by Eva as the full size holo image of her appeared again.

"Unable to find anything... my program has entered a stage I was not perpared for... I don't understand the feeling..." Eva seemed unsure that a AI couldn't do before.

Grant's eyes widened "the AI Eva has entered the stage of no AIs could do... her program is more or less believe it or not entered the stage of lifeforms like me and you Stripetail..." Grant tells Stripetail with suprise in his voice.

"And that means?" Mr Threehorn asks
