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

"Are there any other mentions of Snowpaw in your files?" He asked. He looked at the video, thinking" Could you run a heat scan to pick up any sources of heat in the video?"

"I could... lets see" Eva runs a scan of different types and one showed a ghostly figure "I believe this is the best we will get of the creator talked to... is that Snowpaw?"

Could you bring it into focus? ' Stripetail asked. The Figure was blurry, but he could see what looked like a jeweled necklace around its neck.

Stripetail closed his eyes, and looked at the figure. It was indeed Snowpaw, he recognized her white paws and the red-level crystal necklace she wore. ' yes it's her.' he said very softly. "Can you run a voice scan to see if she said anything?'

Grandma and Grandpa began to stir and wake to see that most of the others have woken up before them.

"I could try... but if it a spirtly form... it will be very faded... this is one of my oldest data banks... it not up to date" Eva tries to run a voice scan for what Snowpaw saying. "Playing what she said..." Eva said and starts to play it (Nick you playing Snowpaw?)

(Sure) I have my reasons. The sprit said. "I cannot be with--- static he could do it but , but it would take a long time---- so this--- will eventually run into him. By any measure he is a wizard of the highest level, he is not someone who you want as a foe. Darius found that out the hard way."

"So the AI Eva will run into him... by then she will be more then a AI? but that not possible... it just a computer program with AI..." the creator looked at the sprit.

Archer remains in his sanctuary while the storm starts to leave, the rain also moves with the storm, but the wind continued to blow.  Looking down, he could see the dinosaurs have already left the cave Sam said that was used during storms like this.  He partially feels foolish for starting this and wonders what the dinosaurs that know him thinks of him now.

He moves back deeper into the sanctuary into a room, something that looks like a display room for weapons, possibly those of the Guardians.  It never took long for Archer to find the display for his bow and he leaves it there, leaving the room soon afterwards.

He comes back to the window and continues to look down on the Valley in silence.

----------

Odon, Guan, and his sisters were some of the last to leave the cave, watching the storm clouds as they move to the side of the Valley away.

"Archer was right," said Guan.  "That does look like it has a lot of sky water and whirling winds."

"At least it moved away when it did," replied Odon.  "If it didn't and if Archer didn't warn us in time, we'd be in a lot of trouble."  He paused.  "Now that that's over, it's time to make up for the training we didn't have the chance to do yesterday."

"Ok.  I'm sure I'm ready today."

Guan and his sisters follow their uncle back to the nest.

"That was close..." Sam said looking at the sky "One shift it could of hit here and cause massive damage"

Guan pauses and looks to Sam.  He quietly moves away from his family and walks to the duckbill.  "So you have seen this weather before in your time?"

"Yes that a supercell... a very powerful storm. It draws up warmth from the ground into the sky and form these clouds with cold air mixing. The highest points of tha supercell storm would throw down hail to the ground size of fruit that found in the Great Valley. but the worst is the torandos that it forms. whiling winds to your view... they are common in such storms like this" Sam said to Guan

"Wow.  It must be a very good thing this...supercell didn't come over the Great Valley."  Guan looks away to hear his uncle calling him.  "I have to go now.  We missed yesterday's training so we're catching up.  Bye!"  He runs off to his nest.

Sam watches him go then go to the water edge seeing Ducky's mum. "Hello dear... that was lucky wasn't it?"

"Yes Sam it was... just hope the kids are fine" Ducky's mum replied

"Sure they are they have alot of adult protection." Sam said with a smile.

"Yes and this is the first time we get to be alone for a bit" Ducky's mum smiled back.

"Indeed"

After watching the Valley for a few minutes, Archer decides to get his own practice in today, since the weather was clear enough.  He returns to the room and grabs his bow and a nearby empty quiver, which sprouted arrows as he grabbed it.  He slings both items over his back and leaves the sanctuary to the top of the Great Wall to find a place that's hidden from both the view of the inhabitants and the wind.

All the sudden RipRap appeared from behind him "So this is where you live? sorry for popping around again... but I have no idea how to find Sten, this land is unknown to me" RipRap said to him

Archer gets a surprise from RipRap's sudden reappearance and spins, drawing an arrow in reaction.  But he then returns the arrow to the quiver when he recognizes RipRap.  He sighs with relief and annoyance.  "I'm not the best at geography here either.  I've only been here for about two months now."

"Oh right, damn... hey that a bow right? there is a archery contest on my home world every 1 Dinoton year, that about 3 or 5 years in Earth Years. I've entered 2 of them but haven't done so in 16 dinoton years." RipRap said to him. "But I mainly use this now. my personal sniper hyper pulse rifle. My make. one of a kind" RipRap shows him the rifle

Archer sees the rifle.  "So you made it.  I always have to be careful about homemade firearms.  There was one person I met who died a few weeks later by an accidental discharge of his modified weapon.  He ended up doing something that the firing pin would never lock back.  Another reason why I prefer the bow."
