Dennis, who'd been quietly listening, saw this as a possibly opportunity to maybe steal away with one or two portable dino specimans for those he was secretly working for, since the teen interns translator thingy let him know what the young rex had just said.

"Ya know Mr. Hammond, if you want me to show the kids around the facility, I'd be happy to do it, might keep them entertained" Dennis said.

Hammond smiled.
"Good thinking Dennis. Would you young ones like a tour of our home?" he asked.

Cyrix gave a frown at the comment however, and Hammond noticed.
"Of course you and Mim are welcome to join the tour as well, Cyrix."

Cyrix at that moment smiled and nodded his head.

Mim nodded, "I'd like that. It may be best that we all stay together, for now at least." Mim said.

Frank hit the record button before say ing "I'll come along with you dennis as there are areas here where you don't have access to'.

"M-more the merrier" Dennis said, hiding any private discouragement at so many meddling adult dinosaurs and or personnel coming along.

"Well, let's get going then" he said, leading the way out. "I guess first I'll start by showing you guys...um, the main computer room" he said, walking down the hallway with the others following.

"Computer?" Cory asked. "Um, yeah, it's more of those moving picture thingys" Dennis explained as they walked into the room.

"Sounds like it should be interesting." Mim said.

"Yes, it does certainly sound interesting." Diver said as they walked along.

"I can't wait to see." Chomper said.

Dennis continued and lead the way into the main terminal room where he worked. "Now just don't go touching anything without asking me, we wouldn't want anyone flying up and hitting a button that would open another predator cage".

Petrie frowned, "He mean us?" he asked Kit. She just smiled and shrugged.

While he walked over to try and find something to begin with showing the dinosaurs, Dennis mind still worked frantic to try and figure out how to separate some of the kids at least, two of different species would be nice, from both the adults and nosy Frank who had followed!

Maybe if when he showed them the terminals he looked at the lay out of different rooms he could figure something out...

"Um, so over here we can looking at all the different stuff going on in the park at once, even more so than the one or two terminals in the room we just left" Dennis explained as he pulled up the display of the different screens.

"Ooh!" Kit flapped up to see closer, "where do they all go?".

(ooc: little point I forgot, let's say he took Peter's translator for these conversations)

"Hey, I said no flying up onto where the buttons are?" Dennis said with a frown. Kit giggled, "Oh sorry".

"Ah, that's ok" Dennis shrugged. He picked the little one up, and almost felt a sigh of regret that here he was holding her with half the job done...but a dart towards the door or excuse for riding in his pocket would be odd right now, so for the continued un-wariness of those about, he had to set her down...but maybe not all the way yet...

"Actually, here, I'll find you little one's a spot where you can sit and probably see better". Dennis pushed some candy wrappers aside. Cory picked up one dropped treat and bit it testingly.

"Wow! It's like a treesweet!" he said with a grin.

"Yeah, uh whatever that is" Dennis said as he gave Cory, Ducky, Diver (if she wants) and Petrie a boots up to the terminal.

"These look neat, they certainly does." Diver says from where she is put down, looking around, but not touching anything.

"Eating strange foods isn't always wise, so be careful." Mim says still walking with the group. She looks around, "It is interesting looking."

"It looks sorta neat." Chomper said.

"What do most folks do here?" Mim asked.

Kit12 · **Reply #228 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:31:22 PM

"Oh, well this is where we monitor most of the park's activities and make sure none of the...um sharpteeth, get out of the fences that keep them in and away from the her--flatteeth" Dennis worked through saying it how the dinosaurs would understand it.

"Hmm, don't do a good job at that, do you?" Cory asked boldly. Dennis frowned, "Well I don't know, wasn't it you kids who first broke the wire by biting it?" he asked back. Cory glanced aside, even if he wasn't the guilty party "Maybe...".

"It wasn't their fault Dennis they had never seen a electric fence before so they didn't know that touching it would hurt a lot,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #230 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:52:10 PM

"Yes, it's not like we had electric fences laying around everywhere, certainly not." Diver said.

"I think we would have noticed if there were." Mim said.

"What are electric fences?" Chomper asked.

"Maybe what Longtail bit." Mim said.

Diver nods, "Yea, it goes bzzzt if you bite it." Diver said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #231 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:37:35 AM

Longtail laughed at Cory's bold declaration and laughed harder when Dennis brought up the electric fence. "Yeah...That must've been what I bit...and it did hurt!" he was now rolling along the floor from laughing so hard.

Hammond stood up and stretched his arms and yawned as he said, "So, who want's a coffee break?"

(ooc: Nevemind)

Kit12 · **Reply #233 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:00:17 AM

(ooc: Diver's with Dennis and the others, not with Hammond)

Dennis raised an eyebrow at the odd behavior of the little flyer. Kit smiled, "You sure do take it well for someone who did...um what was it called, shock, themselves like that" she said.

~~~~

"Sounds good" Henry said. "Yeah, and I can just grab a soda since I haven't acquired a taste for coffee yet" Peter grimaced.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #234 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:44:07 PM

Longtail stopped rolling for a moment but continued laughing as he said, "Yeah, but I should have known better than to touch something that I didn't know."

~~~~

Hammond smiled as he stepped over to the door, and pulled it open.
"After you gentlemen."

Kor · **Reply #235 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:26:56 PM

"Or to bite something strange. I'm glad I didn't do that." Chomper said.

Kit12 · **Reply #236 on:** March 14, 2009, 10:45:23 PM

Henry and Peter filed out past Hammond and on down the corridor.

"and I'll make a note not too do such" Cory added, still munching his very sweet treesweet as he called it, the candy bar.

This gave Dennis an idea, the corner where the vending machine was located was a narrow fit, followed by a door that could be slammed shut...

"Say, if you kids...and your care-takers" he smiled to Cyrix and Mim, "want, I can show you the...uh well I guess you'd call it a tree, where we keep those very sweet treesweet" he pointed to what Cory held.

"You mean you got more?!" Petrie asked in surprise, eyes going wide. Dennis smiled, "Oh yeah, lots, and it would probably be a very interesting tree to you".

"Neat!" Kit said. "Yeah, let's go!" Cory was all for this plan. Dennis curbed a smile, this would be like...well...showing candy to bunch of babies.

Kor · **Reply #237 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:41:28 PM

"More, I thought these were all you had." Diver said interested.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #238 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:45:54 PM

Longtail looked curiously at the candy bar Cory had and couldn't help but ask.
"Does that really taste like a treesweet? I'm just not sure..."

~~~~

Hammond followed behind Pete and Henry and as the trio walked into the break room Hammond spotted the coffee maker. "Ahh...my old friend. Time to put you to use again." he said with a smirk and a light laugh.

Kit12 · **Reply #239 on:** March 15, 2009, 03:14:41 PM

"Nuh uh, it's sweeter" Cory answered, taking another bite. "Yes, but this is the...well it's not a tree, but that's the best description i can give of a reference" Dennis said even as he got the others moving. Frank and the two adult dinosaurs would be who he would have to have on the other side of the door he pondered though, he also tried to think up which two species would be easiest to grab up, either of the two Pteradactyls or even that other flyer who's type he couldn't remember right now, or maybe one of the Parasauralopus or even the Corythosaurus...they were smallest.

"Hmm, let's see, I think I have change on me for the machine" Dennis muttered even as they walked.

"What's that?" Kit asked.

"Um...it's what makes the tree let you have the treats" Dennis explained.

Meanwhile, in the main break room, Peter was already using just such method to obtain a soda from another nearby vending machine as he grinned at Mr. Hammond.

"Yeah, Uncle Henry said your job gets stressful even more so than his" the teen commented.

"We all deal with things that could kill us at any moment" Henry told his nephew, "Yeah, it's stressful".
