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

"I am glad to see you, I certainly am." Diver said as she clapped her hands and looked up at Littlefoot's grandparents.

"Yea, me too." Chomper said looking up at Littlefoot's grandparents.

Mim smiled a bit at the sight of Littlefoot's grandparents.  "It is good to have more of us together in 1 place." Mim said.

As the hanger door opened littlefoots grandma turned to the door as it finished opening and watched as frank walked into the hanger before hammond. "Who are you two,' she asked.

---------

"I am retired General Frank Anderson though I'm now mostly know as frank or my call sign "Raptor" but my more closer friends call me by my given name Hans,' frank said.

As Dennis reached the area where the longnecks and others were visible, he skidded to a halt, "Wrong way..." he turned to run the other way...then heard the Rex...and darted off to the right.

As they stood there, Cory spotted the human eitherway, "There he is!" he pointed. He then picked up on the slowly approaching thudding and wondered what it was.

Cyrix was aware of several things in a matter of moments. As he first stepped out of the jeep he spotted his nephew safe for the moment and rushed forward to hug the little one. However as he continued to hug Longtail he also heard Cory's statement and turned his head and narrowed his eyes for as he indeed saw Dennis running away from their general area, but then he noticed the ground was shaking.
For a breif moment Cyrix and Longtail exchanged glances and after putting Longtail on the ground they both turned to Frank and Hammond and began to run towards the hanger.

Grandpa Longneck was still releaved to have his grandson here with them safe and sound.
"I am so glad you are safe Littlefoot...I'm sure it must've been quite an adventure for you here." He then too noticed the ground shaking, and realizing that everyone here was standing still he began to worry. "I have a very bad feeling..." he said almost at a whisper as he turned to see Dennis Nerdy running away from their group.
"I do wonder where he is going?" the elderly Longneck asked aloud.

Hammond who had just stepped outside with Frank reached down and retreived his walkie-talkie as he heard Henry's voice over the other end, and upon hearing the news immediately frowned as he said, "Oh...not good! Get back here as soon as you can! If we can get everyone inside then we may be able to raise the electrofied gates around our main facility and hold him off! GET BACK HERE NOW!"

"Quick everyone get inside.  It'll be safer in there if that shaking is caused by what I think it is." Mim said picking up Diver & maybe some of the smaller kids as she started inside.  

"It certainly does not sound like anyone nice." Chomper said as he ran beside Mim.

"I'll give you guys some cover just get the kids inside first,' frank said running ahead a bit with a tranquilizer gun to cover everyone.

"Right sir" Henry ended the transmission as he and Peter had already hoped into the jeep they took to the gate.

"Will we make it back in time?" Peter asked. "Of course" Henry answered, not as confident as he tried to sound. He had figured out a few short cuts though and did quickly end up at an exit to the clearing right by Dennis Nedry.

"Hang on there Mr. Nedry" Peter reached out and grabbed the man's shirt, "Come on, you can come to safety in the hanger and then explain yourself" he smiled.

"Fat chance kid" Dennis wrestled his way free of the grip the teen had on his shirt and rushed off.

"but Mr. Nedry!" Peter called after him. Nedry, on the other hand, was so determined that he wouldn't be explaining anything, and confounded by his failers that he failed to notice when he rushed straight to where the Rex was...and became the first quickly dealt with victim.

Peter and Henry both turned aside as Henry quickly drove on into the hanger.

As everyone entered and the door was closed, Henry sighed as he and Peter got out of the jeep. "We...lost Nedry" he said simply.

"He wouldn't even let me help him inside..." Peter sounded confused and shocked by such.

"Terrible." Was all Mim could say, Diver & Chomper hugging her and glad they and the others in the jeep were safe at least.

Frank slammed his fist into the side of one of the planes. "It's good that you guys are safe but at the same time sad that dennis wouldn't listen when you were trying to warn him,' frank said.

Longtail's face darkened as he said aloud, "He got what he deserved...nothing more." Then he sat down and closed his eyes.

Cyrix sighed as he heard about Dennis and then Longtail's statement.
"No...that wasn't what he deserved Longtail, he had a chance to live...and he should've taken it. I may have been angry at him, but even my anger would have given away soon, but now we'll never know why he did what he did...but...I am glad to know that everyone is safe."

Hammond chuckled for a moment as he wasn't really listening to the others for a moment and he pushed a red button on a control switch he had in his hand and an alarm sounded as a large metal and electric gate was raised around the entire Ingen complex.

Grandpa Longneck frowned as well.
"Everything happens for a reason. And while Dennis' reason wasn't exactly clear, I would hope he at least had a chance to understand that his choices were his own."

Muldoon walked up to frank "are you ok,' he asked. "Yeah I think so,' frank said removing his hand from the dent made in the plane. "Frank you're bleeding,' muldoon said. Frank took a look at his knuckles "it seems that I am there's a med kit over on that wall,' frank said.

Peter just sat there shaking his head, "Was he that afraid of getting yelled at?" he asked, knowing no one would know the answer.

Kit walked up to where Longtail was, "It's...ok that you thought that though, I think" she admitted, "I mean...he did kidnap and shoot at you. Still...I wouldn't have minded him letting us save him".

"What about whatever he stole?" Peter next wondered, "could whoever he was contacting still get that?".

Mim thought that over, "I guess it depends if he had it on him at the time or if he dropped it during is traveling around or before..." She said avoiding saying what happened to Dennis.  

"It's a big area he wondered around in.  If he did drop it could we even find it?" Chomper asked waving his arms a bit in his not knowing where to start looking.   "We'd have to look over ever spot he traveled on."

"Do we know what he may have stolen? I certainly do not." Diver said shaking her head.

"The only thing that we know he stole were the samples of DNA from the cooler,' frank said as muldoon got the med kit.

"Maybe that is all he could get." Chomper said.

"I guess nothing else obvious is missing." Mim said.

'Well we don't know yet,' frank said as muldoon cleaned his wound with disinfectant before bandaging it.

Muldoon looked at the plane "you know you left a dent in the plane,' he said. "I'll fix it later,' frank said.
