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

A World so Far but so close

Stripetailler arrives in Enginerring to see pipes swaying about with sparks flying and the whole team working and rushing around around the warp core which was a short way down a set of panels and controls to her left and right to see B'lerra half Kilgron half human ordering the team to do what.

"The power cuplings on that panel blown get those repaired at once" She then turns to another "Reroute power from Deck 24 to Deck 29 shut all power from there and put it through the stablizes at once..." she then looks to one at the controls just to her left "RIght keep that up we must keep this core in one piece long enough to reach the planet Earth." B'lerra turn around to see Stripetailler.

"Great your here I need your help to divert power from minimum systems through out the ship to the warp core stablizers..." B'lerra said then a explosion came from just above on the second floor of Engierring "Damn the Primarly stablizers just blown" She said aguringly with her half Kilgron side showing in her voice going up to the ladder climbing up with Stripetailler following she then diverts the systems "right I put it through the secondary systems they will hold" B'lerra clears the control panel of debrie.

"Help me divert all the power we need to make it" She asked the commander

Stripetailler quickly set to work. Things were not going well, the main stablizers could handle more prssure than the back-ups, and with them gone, they'd be hard pressed to keep the ship from blowing up.

 They'll show up "Stripetail said,

B'lerra noticed the final scans "I see why the core is creating havoc... it this dimension the laws of space and time is slightly different by 0.02% it enough to make the mixture of the core go hay wall and a invisiable force that making the warp core unstable. even we knew this already it wouldn't help this differences is making the warp core overload either way... we can only slow it enough till we reach Earth" B'lerra said and with her expercise Stripetailler could tell that she was right about there was no way to stop it but slow it down.

"You're right, all we can do is delay its destruction. We'll only have a few minutes to get off once we land. If you have any valuable or sentimental posessions. I'd suggest you gather them up now." Stripetailler replied.

"no need. I was told that three alien vessels got transporters and agreed to beam us all off once the threat off the ship and guessing that he won't be off till we enter Earth's atomsphere" B'lerra said looking to her "I thought the captain told you of that as well... must of forgot with this core problems.."

No he didn't tell me. By the time we enter Earth's atmosphere it will be too late to teleport us off. Besides if we try anything the creature will kill the captain's son.

"Why you holding me?" Tri asked the creature

"Cause your my ticket once this tin can in the planet I will will use my powers to teleport to the surface taking you with me as a ticket to make sure that human father of yours try nothing" he sneered Tri gulped and sat there in the room which he was in with the creature. Tri sat on the soft chair looking back at the glass table not looking at the dark red eyes.

"So you see all we can do is try to keep this thing from blowing up. Tri's only chance is if he doesn't try anything stupid, like trying to escape."

B'lerra nods as she worked on the back ups giving them more power to hold the stablizers.

Tri look at the creature "Could I rest my eyes at least?

"Yes... that would be good then you can stop staring at me you annoying weak life form" he sneers Tri nods once and lays back on the chair and close his eyes

(OOC:  Sorry it took me so long to reply.  Took a trip over the weekend.)


Spike trudged alongside Ducky was they joined with the others.

"Huh?  Oh that," Littlefoot paused to find and answer.  "It's just...that it seems so different that you have become so much like a longneck in only about a day, and yet you are still a whole 'nother creature.  Do you feel lonely knowing that you are the only one who can become whatever you want to be?"  He knew that question sounded a bit harsh, but it was the best way he could ask it.

I choice gladly to give it up to be as a Longneck and live here where I have friends... and a great life" Latias replied "I usually use it for defencive reasons but now I choice for myself... for being with friends... liking to be like this for life. I gladly accept it... if that understable to you" Latias looked at Littlefoot.

"I do understand," Littlefoot replied, starting to smile.  "And I am glad you wanted to stay.  And I'm sure the others will be too.  Speaking of which..."  He starts to break off into a run.  "Last one there's a scaredy egg!"

"Captain!" Nitch said looking at the view screen "We got a metror in our path... we can't pull out of it in time at Warp and if we drop out of warp now we could end up unable to go back to warp" Nitch said as the ship closes on the metror.

"Nitch fire photons..." Horn said and Nitch nods locking on target and fires three photon torpeadoes at the rock it was blasted to pieces. the rock pieces smashed into the ship as it went through the blast point.

The ship shook violtly as the pieces hit one on Deck 7 through sections 6 to 15 and a big piece luding itself on Deck 5 to 6 sections 12 to 34. "Damage report!" Horn yelled

"We was hit by two pieces from the blasted metror... Deck 7 took some minimum damage and deck 5 to 6 sections 12 to 34 has be destoryed by a rock smashing into the hall it inbeded and caused the superstructure to bend in destorying those decks... there are only 7 crew men injuried"

"Thank goodiness" Horn said "What about the core?"

"We stable still but we lost some power that was being direvted to enginerring... we have only 15 minutes before we enter Earth" Nitch reported.

---

"What the hell going on!?" B'lerra said looking at the systems "We lost power from Deck 5 to 6... the core not going to hold much longer" she looked to Stripetailler "soon as this back up systems fail that core going to breach in seconds..." she stated the worst to come.

The rock that was blasted unknown to the whole crew was the one that was suppose to wipe the dinosaurs out.

helmsman looked at the screen as the ship dropped out of warp coming up to Earth "Sir we arrived..."

"Great now..."

"Now we go into the planet" the voice came over the comm

"What!?" Horn said looking up a bit

"DO IT!" he growled

"Alright...  helmsman... take us in" Horn said and the ship enters the planet soon things start to go wrong on board.

---

B'lerra looked at the systems "We losing control... I am getting readings of a power surge on deck 5 through one end of the edge of the ship to the other... that whole section going to be blow off at any minute!" B'lerra said to Stripetailler then blue smoke poured out of the core "Colic leak! Everyone out now! we got 5 minutes before the core breaches!" B'lerra shouted as the crew members did so "COme on Stripetailler get up" B'lerra pulled her onto her feet "Lets get out now!"

The sonicboom is heard from the sky above from the ship entering the planet "What was that!?" Cera looked up at the sky

STripetail looked up at the sky. "I don't know.
_ Stripetailler raced down the corridor with B'lerra close behind.  This ship raced down toward the earth, it was headed towards an area just outside the Great Wall of the Valley, smoke streamed from the ship as it hurled towards the ground. Rescue pods jettisoned from the ship as it neared the ground. It hit hard  and burst into flames.
a pod containing Stripetailler , B'lerra and captain horn landed neare the crash site. StRipetailler was thev first out. "Whhere are we?' She asked.
