Haresh, Zachary, Dr. Zanasiu, Rime and a group of volunteers were following Tarrax and sealing the rooms.
"Why didn't we by haz mat suits like Deimos?" Rime grumbled as he filled a large crack in the wall with his caulk gun.
Haresh and two men were caulking the door that led to the swimming pool.
Several soldiers stationed there carried the bodies through the portal to the Great Valley.
---------------------
There, they piled up the bodies on the grass.
"Ms. Swimmer, you know what to do," one of the soldiers said.
Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth, assisted by several dinosaurs, started gathering wood for the pyre.
As soon as the pyre was finished, the soldiers placed the bodies on the pyre.
Dr. Kerzach then appeared through the portal and emptied the contents of the "burn bin" onto the pyre. He then walked back through the portal as did the soldiers.
"Fire when ready!" Mr. Bigmouth shouted. Both he and Ms, Swimmer backed away from the pyre.
As soon as he spoke, a group of Fast-Runner archers, stationed near a small campfire, released a volley of flaming arrows.
The pyre burst into flame as the arrows struck.
The entire process was visible through the portal.
---------------------
Suddenly, Stripetail's radio crackled. "Stripetail, this is Deimos, I am currently working in the former underground ballroom. Do, not, repeat do not send anyone down here without protective equipment. I have enough air for about 15 minutes of work. Deimos out,"
---------------------
Deimos was busy caulking all the cracks that he found the ballroom. The pall of mustard gas cut visibility to almost zero. Deimos wisely chose to use a rope to make sure he could find his way back.

Jose, Kurt and Clive returned with the large air compressor and placed it in the lobby.
"All right, we've got the compressor," Jose said.
"Get it set up. We've only got 2 tanks left," Dirk ordered.
Clive plugged the compressor into a nearby outlet while Al looked for a place to place the intake hose.
"The portal!" Dr. Kerzach shouted.
Al shrugged and tossed the hose into the portal leading to the Great Valley.
