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

Hammond smiled as he watched the computer screen at Franks performance and it was going well.
"Good job Frank...just keep it up and the ship is bound to pull out any moment." He then raised his walkie-talkie and said to Henry and Peter, "You two be careful...and if you have to...sedate Dennis as well if he decides not to cooperate. Just be sure that if Longtail is with him, that he stays safe."

~~~

Longtail was still trying his hardest to fight the tranquilizer flowing through his system but he continued to slip in and out of sleep, his body not used to the chemical.

~~~~

Cyrix who was seated in the back tried to make himself as small as possible so the others would have some room to move or breath, but it also served another purpose...keeping his body so stiff was helping not to show how scared he was for Longtail's safety as he fought back shaking with fear.

"Do they know where they are?" Mim asked.

"It certainly would not help if we just go in random places." Diver said.  "Certainly not.

'Yes we know where they are they are currently heading doward the docks. Frank is trying to drive the ship there off with a Stuka,' muldoon said.

------

Frank dived at the ship again at an angle and fired a few training rounds off at the hull of the ship.

Frank continued making passes at the ship firing the machine guns at the hull with the training rounds making dents in the hull.

Sharptooth stopped by the jeep Dennis had just left, his prey was not to far he knew as he sniffed the item, he kept on.

"Guys, you there?" Dennis called to the boat once more, he got no response. Dennis sighed, "great, where could they be, we have a--".

A low growl behind Dennis stopped him and he turned, wide eyed, to face the Rex standing there just watching him for now.

"N-nice dinosuar..." Dennis slowly backed up.

Hammond could see everything that was happening at the docks and swiftly contacted Frank.
"We have a dangerous situation! Can you fire anymore ammunition at the T-rex? Please say yes!" he exclaimed rather loudly.

~~~~~

Despite still being groggy from the sedative, Longtail blinked his eyes open, and although he still couldn't see very well, he knew something was horribly wrong, as whoever was carrying him was shaking as if they were afraid.
"Oh this is bad." Commented Longtail as he had enough strength now to roll off of Dennis' shoulder and onto the ground.
Longtail stood up on shaky legs and said to Sharptooth, "H-hey ugly! Down here...ya big dummy! Come and get me!" And with that, Longtail flapped his wings and took to the sky hoping to keep Dennis safe despite what he'd done.

"Yeah i still got some ammo and the ship is moving away now,' frank said diving at an angle at the sharptooth with the Jericho Trumpets howling.

-------

"Get us out of here now,' the captian of the ship said as the ship started to move away.

As frank was diving he saw longtail gaining some altitude enough to be in franks way. Frank turned in time to avoid colliding with longtail and got back in position and fired off a few rounds at the sharptooth as frank passed by the rear gunner also let loose a few pratice rounds at sharptooth.

Dennis was too focused on the Rex to even notice his 'specimen' running away...or maybe not so, he seemed to almost be diverting the Rex's attention yet Dennis couldn't think why. The portly computer technician half stumbled half ducked back though as a plane seemed to appear and fire at the Rex.

Sharptooth roared at the bites this metal flyer was able to deliver, a few drawing blood yet he ducked away from any large wounding ones. He roared and snapped at the plane as it flew by, then roared and snapped at Longtail, trying to figure out who to go after...the little live smelling flyer seemed to bite less in one pass, so he chose that one and began walking off after, trying to find Longtail once more.

"Peter, this is almost what a group of kids would come up with, and we are way to close" the teen glanced up at his uncle's criticism as he tied the other end of the rope to the other tree within the clearing the Rex was heading down. "Hey, once he trips maybe we can sedate him easier, and if it's simply brilliant I can't help it, I get it from my dad's side of the family" he grinned.

Henry frowned, "Well there's no need for insults" the teen's mother's brother said.

"L-look out" Henry yanked Peter back as the Rex stepped near where they were...and then Sharptooth felt himself tripping in a shocking way he felt was going to be embarrassing soon...with a loud thud he hit the ground amidst the trees.

"This is redbird leader the rex is down I will be remaining over the airspace until I have confirmation the rex is sedated since I still have enough fuel for 1 hour of flight time,' frank said.

Longtail heard Sharptooth fall, and as he turned around to make sure he ran head first into a tree knocking himself out and rolling backwards and under a nearby bush.

Cyrix watched from the truck which was parked a several feet back, but when he didn't see Longtail he began to panic and stepped out of the jeep and began calling for his nephew.
"Longtail? Longtail?! I know you can hear me....please, please answer me!!!"

~~~~

Hammond saw everything from the control room and he gave a brief sigh as he saw teh rex fall.
"Alright boys! Sedate that rex so we can finally put this mess behind us....and bring Dennis in quickly!" He said aloud into his Walkie-talkie.

Mim stepped out.  "Try to relax.  I'm sure he's ok." Mim said.  "He'll be here soon I'm sure." She said trying to keep Cyrix at least a little bit calm.

Cyrix takes a deep breath and hugged Mim.
"Thank you for trying to keep me calm. I just worry too much."

Mim hugged Cyrix back, "It is only natural that you do." She said smiling, "I'm sure he worries about you as much as you do about him." She said.  "Its only natural that one worries about one that they care about."

"It looks like you guys have things under control, hammond requesting permission to RTB,' frank said flying over the site.

---------------

Muldoon drove up close to the spot where the rex fell.
