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

Adam eyed the several dead domehead carcasses still at the campsite.

He leaned over to the other 3 humans in the group and whispered a question "Do you think we could get some domehead meat to take back to the camp? Would it look bad if we did that?"

Not having anything else to do, and since everyone else had already gone Dan sat down to rest.  Spike went off a short distance to get a drink of water, along with Ducky & Petrie who rode on him.

Cleve agreed, "None of us are as strong as all of us," he stated, "Where did you find the jacket again?"

Ruby pulled some sweet bubbles from a bush, and ate one. "These sweet bubbles taste great," Ruby said, "There are lots of other fruits as well."

"Great," Chomper exclaimed, "That means we don't have to carry that sinky fruit again. I'll crab some crawlers from the trees."

"The others back at camp will most likely have something ready for us when we return Adam." Frank said.

"And it would probably make us look bad," Cleve added, "Additionally, it's difficult for our knives to cut through their skin. Their skin can deflect bullets. It's not worth the effort.:

"So shall we split into groups of two now to find the planes?" Frank asked.

Deimos overheard Adam. "I really don't care and James doesn't either but the leafeaters may not like that," he interjected.

He then turned to Cleve. "I did find something that looks like what James was wearing by where he was tied up," he said.

Theo saw a vine leading up to a tree and he gave it a quick tug. The vine snapped and some fruits came tumbling down along with a strange piece of metal that bore faded paint on it.

"Uh, Ruby, Chomper? Do you think I should take this big shiny rock to the campsite? It looks like the small shiny rock that Deimos found," Theo asked, winding up the vine.

"The wreckage of my plane is in a clearing not too far from here, if you want me to take you to that one." Adam said. "There are several other wreckage sites I've found over the years too, but they are farther away."

Ruby examined the big shining rock that Theo found. It seemed to have extremly stright lines and looked unnatural. "I've never seen a rock like that before," Ruby said, "Maybe they will be interested."

"Take us there, Adam," Cleve demande, "Fortunately, TBF Avengers are blue. They're gonna be the only blue things in this area. I don't know the color of the 109 though."

"Well it was mostly grey execpt the nose and the wingtips those were yellow." Frank said.

"Yellow wingtips and nose?" Cleve asked, "That should be easy to find. That 109 must have been an ace or something. He pained his wingtips and nose yellow; he wanted to be spotted."

Adam took the group of humans to the wreckage site of his plane.

"Here it is. I haven't been here in a long while. I have looked through the wreckage a few times, but there's probably still something useful that can be salvaged from it."

(OOC: Someone else find stuff from the wreckage. I don't know jack squat about Avengers, or military planes in general. I'm sure someone can think of something realistic to find from it.)

"Well he's been my nemesis since my first raid over Europe." frank said. "But I have also seen other planes with the same paint scheme."

Cleve observed the wreckage of the TBF Avenger. Shape was unmistakable. He could see the rectanglar wings and the cylindrical turrect at the tail. It was not doubt an Avenger. Patches of moss grew over the canopy, and the plane was rusted in some places. But considering the time that has past, the plane was in good condition. The body was mostly intact as well. Pieces of the wings and landing gear have been torn off, and the propeller was bent. The entire plane was leaning on it's right side due to a missing wheel, but the the guns and other precious equipment were probably undamaged.

"You did a great job of landing this thing," Cleve complimented, "We'll surely be able to salvage things from this plane."

"I have to agree but then any crash you can walk away from is a good one." Frank said. "Hmm we could salvage the upper rear guns."

Cleve agreed. "Those are definitely salvageable. The ventrical gun might be salvagable as well, but it might be bent from the landing. And if I'm not mistaken, there's a medipack in there somewhere, right?"

"There should be one." Frank said walking on the right wing of the plane and opening the canopy.

Adam looked at everyone else fascinating over the wreckage. "It's good your finding a lot of things to salvage. I don't really know much about the plane, probably due to my amnesia. I can't even believe how I landed that thing. I don't think I could fly it again if my life depended on it!"

Cera stared at the wreckage as well. "I've never seen something like that before! Is it like a flyer or something?"

Cleve climbed onto one of the wings and opened the canopy. He climbed into the rear gunner's seat at the rear of the plane. Just as expected, he saw a M2 Browning .50 cal machine gun in front of him. He took the safty off and fired a burst. Bullets streamed out of the barrel, barely missing the tail, and streamed into the distance.

"The dorsal guns still work," Cleve said with excitement, "Who would have expected them to work after all these years?"

"That's good news." Frank said. frank turned to Cera "where we are from it is one of many this one is a Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber."
