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

Land Before Time: Out of the Ice

Elm is the only one here with that clearance and see any results of those developments" one scientist explained "But anything else will be docurmented and reported to you as well as other lvl 9 clearance personal."

"Ah so there is a lvl 10 I thought it was just stories,' said frank. "Of course there is always someone above who knows more that you,' said frank.

Chomper had finished eating and had used his sniffer to find the rest of the group.  He walked up towards them.  

"Yum, those crawlers were tastey, there are still plenty left if you guys want any." He said to them as he walked towards them.  

"Me already eat." Petrie said, not sure what else to say since he wasn't sure why Chomper offered them.  

"I do not think those would be good for me to eat, no I do not.  But we are glad to see you, we are." Ducky said.

"That is ok, plenty left for me then.  I'll have to tell Guido of that place next time I see him." Chomper said.  He then looked at the ones present looking for Littlefoot.  

"So what are you guys doing, and where is Littlefoot?  Is his dad visiting?" Chomper asked as he looked for Littlefoot.

"Thank you for understanding our reasons to keep hidden from the others, your mind opened to possibitles but others wouldn't" Elm explained. "We take you to a way out and if you like you could drop by tomorrow around mid day." Elm suggested

"What happening tomorrow?" Littlefoot asked

"We found two dinosaurs matching what you said in ice and alive still and we got something that will melt the ice and wake them up" Elm told him

"Cool that be great" Littlefoot smiled "But... I can't keep this from my friends forever they will find out" Littlefoot sighed and lost his smile.

"Can they be trusted  to keep a sceret?" Elm asked him

Littlefoot nods "Yes! I trust them to keep it" Littlefoot gave a straight direct answer.

Elm looks to Evan "So Evan do you think we should go with this? since they are close friends from what we seen while keeping check of any dangers from our complex" Littlefoot listened to them and knew that it be their choice that be final and watching him and his friends might of been just they cross the humans view while keeping their own safe and hidden from the Great Valley and everywhere else.

Evan rose up on his legs.
He was suddenly feeling better than he had done for ages.
All this was like an impossible dream come true to him!
He felt exited like a little kid on X-mas eve, and he sure wanted more!

"That's up to you Professor!" he said, wiping away some dirt.
"I'd be glad to help out".
"I'm sure we can trust Littlefoot here, so why shouldn't we be able to trust his friends?" he said smiling bright to Littlefoot.

"About tomorrow, I sure want to meet you again Littlefoot, and if possible (he looked at Elm as to say pleeeaase!), your friends too!" he said with an exited voice.

"I have many questions that I'd like to ask, about life in the Valley and such, too much to cover in one sweep."

He took his glasses and put them in one of the pockets on his shirt.

"But for now, lets find ourselves a way out of here."

"Professor?" he nodded at Elm and pointed right/left.

(OCC: Awsome RP!)
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"Your not a kid Evan... so don't act like one and it be nice to know about the Great Valley but it none of our business to butt in and look on their way of life, ours is very different and be very differcult for us to life in their life style such as they try to live in ours" Elm explained to Evan and speaking to Littlefoot a little to explain it.

"I think I know what you mean Elm, your strange thingys on you and this strange place being part of your complex thing home is strange" Littlefoot seem to get a idea what he ment.

"Then we'll take you through the complex to one of the hatches to let you out." Elm walked over to a speaker on a hook and lifts it out "This is Professor Elm to all personal, everyone stay clear and away of corridor 9 right through to corridor 13, this is a lvl 10 order, no personal are allow in that area. Do not ask questions do as your asked, Elm out"  Elm put it back and walks to the lift and it opens up "This will take us to corridor 9 right to the hatch that leads to the waste land area of the Great Valley in corridor 13, that be the one you come to tomorrow Littlefoot"

"Right, thank you sir" Littlefoot looked at the lift "it kind of small, how does it go up?"

"It goes up using a cable pulling this lift up" Elm replied

"Wow that cool!" Littlefoot gets in and so does the other two.

Startor stands at corridor 9 and directing all personal out of those 4 corridors "I bet one of the dinosaurs are here and it that Littlefoot. So it a good idea to keep this clear." she whispered and saw Frank coming to corridor 9 and she saw it clear "Sorry Frank lvl 10 and who works on the outside can only see this" she push a button and a metal panel falls down and close off all the corridors from those four corridors with only her in it now, Frank standing on the otherside of it not able to get to that corridor now. "Startor to Elm" she use her ear piece "Corridor 9 to 13 is clear bring him up"

---

"Thank you Startor" Elm push the button and the doors close the lift going up with all three inside. "Evan after we let Littlefoot out into his home, we will get things ready for our special guest so they not seen by anyone"

"Wow we going up" Littlefoot saw the ground getting feather away from the glass view then it turn to a round wall as it kept going up "what lvl 10?"

"me and Startor eyes only to see you and your friends tomorrow, since Evan seen you his the only lvl 9 and lvl 10 clearance personal that can see you as well, if others see you and your friends you will be overwhelmed with questions poke and should I go on?"

Littlefoot didn't like that idea at all "I understand, I don't like to be treated like something to be touched all over because of being a Longneck..." he felt sick of that idea "how many lvl 9 clearance humans are there?"

"8 including me and Startor, 10 in total. But we can't make sure that they will keep their mouths shut. So safe to only have 3 of us seeing you" Littlefoot nods liking that idea what Elm said.

"OK that cool" Littlefoot replied happily.

Petrie shook his head, "No, me no see Littlefoot dad.  Him hard to miss.  We no see Littlefoot." Petrie said with concern in his voice.  

Ducky Nodded her head, "Yes, and we are wondering where he is, we are, we are." She said.  "Maybe he went off to explore on his own and got lost."

Chomper thought for a moment then his face brightened up, "Then we'll just have to go and find him with my sniffer." He said.  He started to sniff the air then he took off in a direction.  "Come on, I smell that he was over here."

Petrie took to the air and flew not far above where Chomper was while Ducky ran behind and did her best to keep up with Chomper.  He wasn't much larger then she was so it wasn't very hard for her to keep up.

"Hmm the mystery into lvl 10 deepens,' said frank to himself. "it reminds me of my old air force days pilots like me are too stupid to think for ourselves so we just gotta keep our mouths shut when they tell us to,' said frank. "So I'm just gonna go to the game room nothing calms me down better,' said frank.

The lift stops and the door opens "Wow it bright as the bright circl..." Littlefoot then saw Startor "Hey I saw you before, everytime I saw you and went to where you was you was gone"

"Glad you know each other then" Elm chuckled as they exit the lift "Littlefoot this way please"

Startor walks just to the left of Littlefoot while they walk down the closed off corridors "Yes Littlefoot I know, because I was asked to make no contact with dinosaurs in the Great Valley just to see if the systems we placed out there worked at normal rates"

"Oh so that what the shiny thing was, it was one of your watching things" Littlefoot said as they came to the hatch on corridor 13 on Floor 0.

"This is the hatch" Elm push a set of codes in and the hatch unlocks and opens up to the waste land of dead plants and trees from the fire that destoryed them ages ago

"Wow thanks, I'll be back here by midday brightcirle right?" Littlefoot turn to them

"Yes indeed, only bring your friends if they can be trusted" Elm said to him

"Yes and try to not tell any of the adults... all we need is a panic" Startor muttered "take care and laters Littlefoot" Startor turns and walk down the corridor

Littlefoot walks outside then look back at them "thanks for getting me out of that place and getting me back in the Great Valley, your all really kind"

"Not all humans are... there some bad ones like there good and bad dinosaurs" Elm replied.

"So your not much different to us in some ways" Littlefoot turn to Evan "Thanks as well Evan."

"Sure thing, no prob!" Evan said to Littlefoot. "It was very nice too get to meet you." he smiled.
"I hope we meet again tomorrow."
"And I'm sorry if I was too... enthusiatic, the way of a young scientist!" he chuckled.

"Take care now, off you go." he waved his hand.
-----

"Thanks." He turned and said to Elm. "I understand if this was... not fully according to the plan, but...Thanks alot for letting me... be part of this!" he smiled.
"And I hope I was of some use back there..." he said, kicked some gravel and scratched his neck.
"May I ask, what would you have me do now?" "What's the time?"
"By the way, Hi Startor!"

Evan suddenly realised that he hadn't eaten for hours.
Oh, starving! he thought and took up a can of water from his sidepack.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Frank enterd the flight sim part of the game room and saw someone working on the F-14 sim. "Hey what do two rival pilots do when they meet,' he asked "They dogfight,' replied the other cracking his neck at frank. "How ya doing blaze,' asked frank. "I'm doing well raptor,'  replied mitch. "So wanna dogfight,' asked blaze. "Naw let's go to the cafe and ask if anyone there wants too,' said frank. "alright let's go,' said blaze. They started for the cafe. (Note my characters are calling each other by their callsigns.)

"Alright see you" Littlefoot said happily and watched Elm touch some keys on the panel that opened the hatch

"See you and your friends tomorrow" Elm said and push the green button the hatch moves across then moves out and match the rock face perfectly with a hiss the hatch was sealed.

Littlefoot touched it with his front foot then step back a few steps "Wow it prefectly match the rest of the rocks and feel like a rock, if I didn't watch that happen I would have never guess this was something that open and close" Littlefoot saw some path in the dirt "That how I'll find the way in" Littlefoot then heard some moment turning around he saw the others and went over to them "Hey guys" Littlefoot saw that hole and went around it this time and came up to them before they came too far into the waste land area he slid to a stop right in front of them.

----

"How about we get something to eat then call it a night Evan" Elm said to him as the corridor metal panels raised back up. "It close to 7pm, sunset will be around 40 minutes from now" Elm looked at his watch as they walk to the cafe.

The group being lead by Chomper were heading straight towards the air vent where Littlefoot had fallen in since his scent that Chomper was following lead there.  Once Chomper saw Littlefoot he stopped following his scent and instead ran towards him.

"Littlefoot." Chomper said glad to see him.  He went over to hug him, at least the part of him that he could reach.  Petrie flew over and hovered nearby.  

"Me glad see you.  Where you go?" Petrie asked a bit curious.  

Ducky ran up a few seconds later and went over nearby Littlefoot, "Did you go exploring on your own and get lost?" Ducky asked with some concern in her voice, "Or did the bullies chase you?" She asked, being a bit afraid of the bullies and avoiding them whenever she could.

It must be a sceret between us lot only" Littlefoot said look to them all "you guys got to really promise that you won't say a word to anyone else." Littlefoot plended to them before he could tell them what happened to him and who he met.

"We promise, we do.  What is the secret?" Ducky asked, curious and wanting to know the secret and what Littlefoot had been up to.

"Me promise, no tell." Petrie said, also knowing some things were best keep secret.  "Some secrets best no tell parents."

"Sure, I promise," Chomper said, "It would be hard for me to tell my parents even if I wanted to." He said.  "What is the secret Littlefoot, have you found a way into the hidden canyon with those icky smelling tree sweets?" Chomper asked.

Littlefoot looked to Ruby, Cera, Spike and waits to see if they promise as well.

(I notice that the person that do Cera don't seem to post as much as the other people using the other charcaters. Spike can nod to promise, anyone could do that, Ruby and Cera got to promise for the next bit to happen)

"So want will ya have,' asked frank. mitch replied "I think I'll have a chocolate milkshake'.  "Waiter two chocolate milkshakes,' said frank.
