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

"What a TV?" Cera asked, she had a feeling already it was something bad.

Henry left any comments on either unsaid, yet did think of something. "You know...I wonder if maybe we could use that translator of Peter's got get the Rex back to his pen now".

"I don't think just 'cause he'll be able to understand you he'll listen any better" Cory told the human skeptically. "He doesn't seem like the 'sit down and talk it out' type".

Hammond smiled as he simply nodded his head to Franks request, even though Frank was going to do it anyway.  He then looked around and asked, "Uhh...are we missing someone?"

Cyrix tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hammond looked around again for a moment before voicing his opinion.
"Cyrix, I do believe...your nephew is missing from our group..."

"I am not!" said Longtail.

Both Cyrix and Hammond looked up and indeed Longtail against Hammond's thoughts was clinging to the ceiling, and crawling around to try and get a better view of the TV Frank was about to use.

Hammond couldn't help but chuckle while Cyrix was rather upset at his nephews actions.
"Longtail, come down this moment!" He turned to Mim and asked, "Mim would you care to help me out here?"

Frank also gave a slight chuckle though at the same time understood Cyrix's concern.

Not understanding what Cyrix meant pointed to the door, "The door to the outside is right there.  I can help you to it if you need help." She said.

"I think she means getting Longtail down more than anything" Cera rudely butted in to the two adults conversation and told Mim, indicating where the flyer was still on the ceiling.

Kit flapped up to where he was, "T-they already turned it on, or asked it to come, or however they said such things are done, and I don't think it's going to eat us" she tried to reassure Longtail, even if she wasn't sure about such things herself.

Frank flipped through the channels before leaving it on the National Geographic. A program by the name "Aces of The Velkan War' began with the words May 23 1995 near a disputed border after which the camrea switched to a man with a sniper rifle close by him said "Oh them?, Yeah I know them, it's going to take a while it happened years ago'. "Did you know there are three kinds of fighter squadrons?' "Those who seek fame, those who live for glory, and those that can read the tide of any battle those are the three and them they were a true squadron'. the Narraters voice came on "He was a fighter pilot they called "No Wings" he was a colleage of the men I seek, 10 years ago there was a war that engulfed three nations the Velkan War and in that war was a squadron that trailed across the skies and dissiapeared from history.' "They were the best Ostian fighter squadron, they are the men I seek and so with the words of "No Wings" the curtian rises'. "It was a hot and humid day,' the man whos name had not yet been revealed said.

Not knowing what was going on Mim, Chomper and Diver sat down where they were to rest and wait till things started to make more sense.

(ooc: Sorry, I'm at a total loss what to do and  have no idea at all.)

Longtail laughed and said to Kit, "Oh I'm not afraid of that thing...I just wanted to watch upside down, and I can't do that standing on the floor. I wonder what Frank is watching? It looks interesting."

Cyrix sighed as Cera interrupted his question to Mim, but answered it at the same time.
"Thank you Cera." He turned to Mim again and smiled. "I am hoping you have some idea on how to get him down without hurting him."

Hammond laughed aloud as he continued to watch Cyrix's predicament.
"It would seem to me that you should just let him say up there Cyrix. After all...it is said that children won't learn from the mistakes they don't make."

Kit nodded at Longtail's point, yet as she turned back to the TV and tried to listen...she understood the words in that it wasn't sharptooth gibberish or anything...but she didn't have any idea what any of them just said.

She tilted her head.

"How about tieing a vine in a loop and getting it around his leg.  That certainly may work." Diver said.

""Or asking Petrie's mother to fly up and grab him and bring him down." Chomper said.

"Those may work, but the second one sounds safer then the first alternative." Mim said.  "or asking him to come down." Mim said.

"Gosh, would that work?" Chomper said, surprised to hear such a simple idea.

"Which one?" Chomper said looking at Frank and now knowing which one he said.

(OOC: assuming he can understand Frank.)

Petrie's mom smiled at the suggestion, "Well I really could see that backfiring, forcing him to come down...yet still...how's it going up there Kit" she called up to see how Kit's coercing with words was going.

The young flyer smiled guilty, "Um...I think we're fine and...I'm just gonna stay up here with him too" she said.

Tyrl frowned, yet amused, "Now Kit, what did we tell you about letting yourself be lead astray" he smiled to Cyrix to show he meant to offense.

"Aw, but it's fun" Kit protested.

"Those ceiling tiles are quite tough" Peter commented, "I think they would hold...". He sounded like he was thinking through it himself though rather than being sure.

"As long as everyone is sure its safe." Mim said, not entirely sure if it were all safe.

The show came back from commercial and after a color re-emactment of one of the first battles told the story of how the war had started. "This of course can be found in any history book, but I noticed a strange simularity in the materials I gathered there were several accounts about a squadron all followed by the code word "valkyrie".' the narrater said. "I decided to pursue the history of the Velkan war through this squadron I was certian I would find something there, would it be the hidden truth behind the war or just another battle field legened?' the narrator continued. "I wasn't able to meet the squadron themselves actully it's questionable if they ever did exist, but thanks to some old friends in the military I was able to track several individuals who knew them, "No Wings" is one such man,' the narrator said before the program had another color re-enactment.

As frank was watching the show his mind was thinking back to his service during world war 2. "You see a lot of things in war but there are some thing that you never forget,' frank said to himself.

"So what does everyone want to do now?" Chomper asked looking around at those present.
