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

Journey To Longneck Island

Well You are correct Eva there have been marriages between cousins in history. But these things aren't mentioned with such utter frankness as you did.Now to answer your questions Ali. First, What I did is called magic. It's something you either have or dont have. My Magical powers are very great, in fact I'm by far the most powerful sorcerer in my world.   OK, now to your second question. Are You Related to Littlefoot? The answer is Yes, you are. Your mother is related to littlefoot as well. There are varying level of 'closeness'  when refering to cousin relations. First cousins are closest,  first cousin is the offspring of a brother or sister of your parent. A Second Cousin is a cousin of your parent  A Third Cousin can be the offspring of a second cousin, or a cousin of a grandparent. Your mother is this to Littlefoot. Fourth Cousin is the offspring of a cousin of a grandparent. That is you Ali. You are a Fourth Cousin to Littlefoot. 4th cousins are considered distant cousins, and unlike close cousins, which are first or second, marriage between distant cousins is common. As To your third Question, No I don't know where Longneck island is. Indeed I had never heard of it before today. " Stripetail said.
" Thank you" Ali said. " I was curious, that's all."

Littlefoot listed then stepped up "Is... erm... I erm..." Littlefoot trails off looking down feeling warm across the face.

Grant goes to the holo imager rod "Grant keep it online and place it on the back of the bag... I want to stay online" Eva requested

"Fair enough" Grant puts the rod on his back pack still powered up "Well if your in 30 meters to the rod you can be around us, but feather your holo image disappears and your back in the ship computer banks"

"I know Grant..." Eva replied.

" Littlefoot, I'm only stating the obvious.You DO care Deeply about her, that's why you're such great friends. As Far as marriage goes, that's something you'll have to deal with when you get older. But as of now, don't worry about it." Stripetail said kindly.

Littlefoot nods then looks at Trihorn and Cera "I never seen Cera look at someone like that or try to keep a freindly look for so long... is she ill?" Littlefoot asked

"No,she is not ill. But I think she and TriHorn are  developing a relationship, much like you and Ali have." Stripetail Said. " We can continue talking as we head out. Let's go.'
-
"Ali? Come home. We're leaving." Ali's mother called out.

Eva's computer systems go off "Grant warning! two fighters... Zelia Class closing in on our location"

"The reason we was too close to the black hole was that a large ship was coming for us even we was a resreach ship... the black hole would have jammed their systems but we got to close and crashed here I think they must of went in that tear but stayed intact" Grant said to them.

"No point using Magic on these ships either. they are far more advanced to the Tri-Foundation alliance. The ships been made so that magic has zero affect on them what ever the power level is. Plus you can't read their minds... no one ever seen what they looks like but for sure no one can read their minds not even the most powerful mind reader" Eva stated

' I Won't use Magic On them Directly, but Indirectly.' Stripetail said. "I will magically seal the Black hole. It will I presume reset the timer to a week but It Will Be worth it.. "Sealus Instantatem." A Brilliant light flashed and the Hole that was forming above them shrank and slowlydisppeared." They are Sealed inside the hole, but for how long I don't know. We'd best be moving." " Timer Reset- Time remaining: 7 days, 6 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds, 58 seconds 57 seconds.."

(the ships came from the sky from a large ship coming close to Earth it had arrived same way as Grant's ship did. Nick you kind of miss read the post I put up.)

Eva scaned and shakes her head "I don't know what the point of that... it can't affect them... that magical black hole might have blinded the timer and reset it to your belief but it will returned to what it was... they will reappear in the same spot in 30 seconds... and timer will be back to the point it was... their attack ship that holds the fighters is still moving my senors detect it in space... moving towards Earth slowly." Eva says

"Cloak the Valley with the cloaking field now!" Grant orders her

"That whould leave the ship power systems drained" Eva replies

"Do it now!!!!" Grant shouts and she nods the ship cloaking field increase in size hidding the Great Valley.

The ships appeared back where they was and the watch timer went back as it was before the magic like it never happened or on record, the fighters see nothing and move on over the valley. soon as they left and out of site the field returned to over the ship only.

"That was a one off... unable to reapply field again Grant" Eva said

"That wasn't such a hot idea... now the attack ship will try to find you at any cost. just don't try that again they will find you" Grant warns Stripetail and turns to Eva "I understand. just have to be careful and not be spotted... likly they don't havr much of a senor grid"

"Very Well then, That was a useless exercise.' Stripetail gumbled. "But I could shield the valley with magic Eva." But I have a question. Why are they hunting for you? did you break some of thier laws?"

"Eva they after... any computer AI they detact they want... they need something like a AI to control the system data flows on their weapon ships so they can have a advanage in attacking the defence net of our foundation. unlike us they can't make AIs... so they steal them instend" Grant tells Stripetail

"Yes... even in another dimension they still after my databanks... while the ship is cloaked my systems are safe" Eva says looking at the sky. "And like I said Magic will be seen through by them. only techonology cloak can hide something"

So they're Bad Guys." Stripetail said with a smile He pulled out a small object from his robe. This might work.' It Was a magnet.'This magnet is magically enhanced , so it can create a much larger electromagnetic field than an ordinary magnet. " Don't ask me where I got it , I couldn't really tell you." He handed the magnet to Grant. " Could you finsd some use for this?"

"mmm... this seem to give out a high energy output, I can take it and connect it to the power generater. that will keep this valley hidden for a time... but no dinosaur will be able to see it either... making the Valley look like it totally vanished. but not" Grant said to Stripetail looking at the magnet

Eva nods "That would keep the valley hidden for a time, unknown how long it will hold. it could be 2 days or maybe a month." Eva explains.

Well, Hopefully It will be closer to a month because then once the week is over, I can simply teleport everyone to the island. Unfortunately, that would likely draw those ships to the island as well."

"Indeed it would. They will stay around as long as they can till they find the ship. they simply followed the trail of energy that the ship realeases. that why they knew we was on this planet but where is unknown to them. They use fighters as scouts to see where we are since the attack ship can't scan a planet surface" Eva answered the question in depth

Couldn't you turn off the power and wait until they leave? No wait, You'd be permanently disconnected Eva" So that's not an option."

"Yes bad idea... we just have to keep our heads low. they looking for humans or me... so if we keep under one of the large dinosaurs as we walk to the island. they would ignore us" Eva suggested.

Grant disappeared leaving the pack behind so none noticed he was gone as he climbed over the wall back down to the ship, he enters it going to the power generater while on he quickly put the manget next to it and connected it the generater. Power was fully up and he manually increased cloak over the Great Valley hidding it from the outside world even thou anything could pass through it. He gets back before being missed.

"Well no need to take everyone out of the Valley they won't find it unless they are planing to crash a ship" Grant told him

"I agree. the ship cloaking field is at full power over the valley. no one can see in it" Eva spoke
