"Oooh, sounds interesting." Diver said holding her hands together.

"Kinda neat." Chomper said.

"Do you often have those sorts of sleep stories?" Mim asked curiously.

"Not all the time most of them are of my war time experiences,' frank said.

"Well...I still don't think they should have been talking like that" Cory said, crossing his arms. He listened and tried to make sense of Frank's sleep story.

"Y-you mean they were working one of those already and knew how?" Cory asked, pointing to the plane within the hanger.

"I'll just go put these through to test that the dinosaurs will be cleared to fly" Dennis said, walking off with vials he was holding to a room just around the corner.

As dennis walked off frank walked up to a plane before tapping the side "This was my first plane the P-40B Tomahawk. This propeller is what allows the aircraft to get airborne the propeller is powered by this enging,' frank said opening the engine port.

Longtail walked up to the plane Frank was mentioning, and he slapped it with his tail for a moment, and cringed as he heard a loud bang of flesh against metal, and felt a great deal of pain from hitting the metal plane.
"OW!!! That really hurts!" he cried.

Cyrix just had to laugh out loud at Longtail's antics. It was just good timing.

"It does not flap it's wings like a flyer does?" Diver asked, amazed to hear the difference.

Kit12 · **Reply #326 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:39:49 AM

"Hmm, maybe that means we could fly and not flap!" Kit pondered. "Wouldn't try it" Cory said a bit skeptically, and glancing over at Petrie, Kit gathered he didn't want to try it anytime soon either.

"So do we have to wait for Mr. Dennis to tell us our blood said it's ok to go on the plane?" Kit asked.

"Yeah, how long does it take to tell that anyway?" Cory asked.

"No telling" Tylr commented, glancing back.

(ooc: Yeah, I forgot he would have been in the room too! LOL)

Meanwhile, as back up, and a precation, Dennis had finished putting the two vials he'd been holding in a unit to test them, but then he snuck from the room with the two other vials, threehorn and flyer from what he'd been able to grab, and snuck down the hallway and to where some of the jeeps were kept.

He quickly selected one and drove off.

(ooc: Alright, just wanted to give him that head start to either run into trouble or begin to be tracked; I know, running off wiht DNA samples, while closer to the movie, isn't as exciting, but it's what Dennis was able to get away it)

In the break room, Henry still had a small computer PDA sort thing tied in with the main computers to alert him of any major oddities went on, like more fences going off line.

He was just trying to think how they were going to track the Rex still loose when it went off. Glancing at it, Henry frowned. "Hmm, door to the Jeep hanger must have swung open or something" he told Hammond and Peter still in the room, "the little light thingy was just saying that that opened".

"Maybe Frank and Dennis are showing the dinosaurs the jeeps" Peter shrugged.

"Well it requires a mixture of man and machine power to control an airplane,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #328 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:40:12 PM

"So you have to flap yourself so the airplane keeps in the air?" Chomper asked, not understanding what Frank meant.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #329 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:20:28 PM

"not exactly here I'll show you,' frank said before hopping in the plane. "The control stick is what makes the plane move you just move it to the left when you want to roll left, to the right to roll right, forward to dive and, back to climb the rudder is moved by pedals where your feet rest you push the left pedal in to turn left and the right one in to turn right,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #330 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:23:55 PM

"That sounds complicated, it certainly does." Diver said.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #331 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:27:33 PM

"It was for me when I first started flying but I came to understand it,' frank said.

Kit12 · **Reply #332 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:35:32 PM

"The--wings not move at all?" Petrie asked, confused by the whole concept.

"Wow, but how's a stick like that control such a big...thing anyway?" Cory wondered. It didn't make sense to him and he'd have to see it done before he could think of it happening properly. He didn't doubt Frank's words, it was just odd to picture.

"Sounds neat" Kit said with a smile. "I can't wait to try out flying without having to fly anywhere" she giggled.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #333 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:40:10 PM

"Well if it's alright with your mom and dad I could take your brothers and sisters up for a flight when the results of the blood test come back,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #334 on:** March 26, 2009, 10:16:52 PM

"it sounds hard. Rhyn has said flying can get complicated." Diver said.

"How can a spinning thing keep it up with the wings not flapping?" Chomper asked.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #335 on:** March 26, 2009, 10:42:59 PM

"The airflow comming over the wings helps the pilot fly the plane break the airflow and the controls freeze up and well a ploits in trouble if that happens,' frank said hopping down from the plane. "Though a ploit can recover it's really hard to,' frank said running his finger down the side of the plane while walking around it. "With a swept wing design it is harder to break the... air flow,' frank said while his fingers ran across a couple of bullet holes in the plane which made him think back to his experiences in world war ii.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #336 on:** March 26, 2009, 10:44:22 PM

Longtail gave a boastful smile.
"I'll bet I can beat that silly thing in a race any day! There is no way a flyer that doesn't flap its wings can beat me!" he said aloud almost expecting a reply from Frank.

Cyrix stepped over to examine the blades that made the airplane move and he smiled at the simplicity of it but had to wonder as well how it kept such a machine in the air.
"Can you start it for us Frank...I'd like to see it work." Cyrix asked after a moment.

~~~~~

Hammond heard Henry's comment and turned around...almost in slow motion and said aloud:
"No. Those doors are to remain sealed unless given a code, and only two people here know the code...and..." his face fell for a moment. He then slapped his cane against the table he was sitting at.
"I do hope the second person with that code isn't doing anything stupid!" Hammond said through gritted teeth.

Kor · **Reply #337 on:** March 26, 2009, 10:48:16 PM

"what is the method by which the plane is able to remain in the air and move?" Mim asked, curious about the physics of aerodynamics, though she had never heard of the words of physics or aerodynamics. She studied the shape of the wing as best as she could and compared it to the shapes of some flyer wings she had seem up close & Guido's feathered glider wings.

Frank shook his head and looked at cryix. "Yeah I could show you how it works did you also wan to see how one of the jest work,' frank said before motioning to a mechanic who brought over some ear plugs which he handed out "You better put these in your ears this engine is really loud,' frank said.

Kit12 · **Reply #339 on:** March 27, 2009, 12:12:19 AM

Kit frowned as she nontheless took the headphones, curious about what they did. Cory and the others seemed to have the same look. As a technician noticed some of the young ones were so small the headphones would do any good, he quickly improvised with a group of the flyers, swimmers and such and tape to fasten it where everyone's ears would be protected.

Feeling proud of himself for this thinking on his toes, he smiled and walked back over to a safe distance to let Frank start the plane.

~~~~

At first Henry frowned, before an answer made itself known. "I...better see if I can get in touch with either Dennis or Frank..." he said, hoping that bad feeling he was getting didn't mean anything.

"Let's see, hanger..." he searched through the numbers he had and finally found a land line phone that was within the hanger area. He called the number, "Please don't be in the middle of a test flight..." he said to himself wishing very hard.

When he heard the phone pick up, he wasted no time in speaking. "Frank? That you? Listen, is Dennis still with you?" he asked, glancing over to where Hammond was and hoping for a positive answer.

"We--we're just doing a head count of sorts" he went on.

~~~~

As he tore out of the jeep hanger, Dennis focused on trying to find, the correct paths and such along the road to lead to the docks where he needed to next be. His personal phone buzzed and he realized, just for safety, he'd had it on silent. Picking it up, Dennis was first treated to a harsh yell.

"Nedry, where have you been, I've been trying to...".

Dennis flinched and then sighed at the voice, "Calm down, I got two good specimans, DNA anyway, unless I hit some wildlife on the way to the docks, live specimans to clone are looking unlikely" he said.

"Well do you have the vials cooled atleast?" one of those paying Dennis for all this asked. "Um..." Dennis spotted a cooler in the back of the jeep, thankfully! "Yeah" he said, pulling and throwing the vials into the cooler, "it's taken care of".

There was a sigh "Just get yourself to the docks and met the connection at seven, and don't blow it!".

"Have a bit more faith, would ya" Dennis said with a smile as he ended the call, "Geez, it's like he thinks I'm a complete idiot" Dennis said, shaking his head.

"I think I can manage to get down to some dumb old docks".
