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

"Ah.  So...do you need me to be there as backup in case something happens, Professor?"  
Shane asked, running his hand through his hair calmly...

"And are we allowed to genetically examine these two...subjects?"
Luis added, sounding somewhat eager...

'It wouldn't be wise as of now. The cells have been frozen for long periods of time, and that would make the DNA inanimate. We would have to forcibly re-awaken the entire organism to get a viable DNA sample. I have done a lot of frozen genetic experimentation, and I've tried it with long-frozen specimens. THat would happen.' Vylor said. 'We should wait until we can fully revive the specimens until we genetically examine them.' Argaya concluded.

Ricktor whistled and said "Now that's impressive. Well, even if we could get them awake what's to say that they'll be willing to cooperate with us...or more to the point...how will we understand them? I doubt they speak the english language."

Evan took word,
"I could have a go on that..." he said, with an unsure voice.
When everyone was looking at him, he said again,
"Well... I've acctually done it before...? With modern day animals..."
He then turned to Prof.Elm,
"Proffesor, do we know the speices of the dinosaurs keept in the ice?"
"I need to know that, if you'll let me have a go..."
Yes Evan, you have been communicating with Tigers and Crocodiles... but a dinosaur...?
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"Even if we are sucessful we don't know what they are capable of I think we should bring one of the dino childern here then unfreeze them,' said frank "However if we choose to do that it creates problems it won't make our first contact good but maybe it's time we made contact," added frank. "Or we could take a more drastic approach,' said frank as he motionted to an attendent with his head. "Professer the reashearch from my 80's experiements he handed Elm a folder with papers inside I tried what they did in Jurassic Park offically I failed, unoffically I succeeded, however The experiements were small term I only added small things like tails and such to the voulenters The only full scale one we did ended in complete failure,' said Frank. "What do you all think,' asked Frank.

'I was wondering about the tail, Frank. I call for a vote: should we un-freeze the current dinosaurs or use Frank's idea and un-freeze one of the children?' Argaya said. 'I agree. A vote would make the decision easier.' Vylor added.

Shane shook his head, thinking.
"Mmmm..This is tough.  I have to go with unfreezing the current dinos.  That way, we may be able to figure out more about the langauge and such."

Luis, however, voted for Frank's idea, saying...
"However, we don't have the faintest idea what the two we have are capable of.  The children would be a safer option, if you ask me..."

After hearing the others opinions Ricktor smiled and said "I think the best idea would be bring the children here, and then unfreeze the ones in the ice. That way we can be sure if any data we have matches with our files."

"Aye I think we should bring the children here,' said frank. "That way we will be able to learn more about them".

"So I take it we're all agreeded by bringing the children here,' asked frank.

Ricktor nodded to Frank and said "I think it's safe to say we all agree on that course of action..and of course if anyone actually objects to it...then they're just plain crazy!" Ricktor then sighed and said "I need a Root Beer in the worst way!"

"Ditto for me.  I'll make sure to be around, in case any of you need help."
Shane added, nodding his head.

"Alright.  I suppose there are some risks still, but...what's the fun in life but risks?"
Luis said stretching back in his chair again...

"We are going to be unfreezing them with our new technology. It shows a 99.9% chance of working the error is very tiny so we going with it. As for the dinosaurs... they do speak" Everyone looked shocked but Startor with smiled at what Elm said

"Of course since I was the one that went out there 3 months ago and set up the mic devices with the cameras and heard them for myself, the one they call Topys or Mr Threehorn is the father of a young one called Cera who plays with this one called Littlefoot, we only know from what we heard from the mics or what I heard. These two we have in ice as it where the ones I found by the machine we very well repaired and modified" Startor spoke

"Yes indeed and we believe they set a timer but their one blow out and froze them in a sleep time in a blink. So we think these two dinosaurs was the ones that place the devices." Elm finished off what was been said. "So tomorrow we will wake our guests up and as for tests there will be none till I say so, do you all understand me. these dinosaurs are smarter then we thought as you seen on that image. so till I say no tests. understood?" he looked around at them

'Understood, Professor. We'll wait on the genetics tests until you give us the thumbs-up.' Vylor said without any sign of disappointment.

Frank walked out of the breifing room and said to himself "I think I'll just have my daily flight now,' as he started for the hanger.

Ricktor smiled as the meeting ended, he then turned to Shane and asked "Hey wanna buy me lunch? Besides you still owe me one..."

He then looked over to Luis and said "Care to join us?"

"Hey, if lunch is on Shane, I'm all for it"
Luis laughed, swinging himself to his feet and joining the other two at the door.

"H-Hey!  I agreed to pay for Ricktor's lunch because I owe him one! You are so not mooching a meal off me, Luis"
Shane replied indignantly, throwing a playful punch at Luis's head...

Ricktor caught the mock punch with his hand and said "I'll make you both a deal, Shane you buy both Luis and I lunch....and I'll pay for all the dessert the three of us can eat? How's that?"

Frank reached the hanger and saw gaurds posted outside the door and questioned why they were threr.
