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

Out of time and place

Spike carying  Ducky and Petrie walked back to the camp with the others.  

Dan continued feeding the fire at regular intervals to keep it burning & as a signal fire till the others returned.  He wondered what they found, if anything interesting.  But thought they'd want to maybe eat a bit, or go right to bed and talk about it in the morning since if nothing else they would likey be tired and want sleep at the least.

Contrasting against the dark sky, the cave was lit as if there was a raging fire inside. Cleve had no trouble identifying the cave from a distance. He walked in silently, careful not to disturb the others. He sat against the wall near the entrance of the cave and drifted to sleep.

Deimos found his nest in the back of the cave. He went up to Dan.

"Not sleepy?" he asked as he tossed a twig into the fire.

Dan nodded, "I am some, but not to much right now.  Just wanted to wait and keep the fire going till the others got back."  He said.  "and what about you, are you tired?" He asked looking away from the fire at Deimos.

Frank arrived back at the cave and fell asleep close to the entrance.

Cleve rolled over on his side. The incidents of that day never quite left his mind. It has been a confusing day for him. There were so many questions that still had to be solved. How did the German pilot get the engine out of his plane without any help? Or did he actually have help? Who was the skeleton they found? Frank seems to be quite sure that it was the German pilot, but Adam seems to believe that it was a member of his flight. Most importantly, were they in the dinosaur world for a reason?

At this point, Cleve was fairly certain that the experiment he was working on sent him into the new world. The Germans could have somehow attained the technology. Frank said that he was flying above a forest when the Bf 109 appeared. From the wreckage of the 109, the pilot seemed to have lots of confidence--at least enough to paint the nose of his plane in a noticeable yellow. He might have been an ace. The fact that he didn't engage the bombers showed that he was probably protecting something--something very important. Perhaps it was an experiment similar to the one that was conducted on the Eldridge. To verify this, he would have to search the plane the next day and try to find any helpful documents.

He decided that he would ask Frank to translate the rest of the letter later.

Frank tossed and turned the dream he was having was very vivid he saw a valley full of sharpteeth he saw another portal deep inside the valley. Frank then turned and saw two frainbowfaces watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. One of them walked toward frank and looked him in the eye. "Who we are is not important at the moment but we will reveal our names soon but all I can say is that the next portal you have to seal is in a place called claw valley. The two rainbowfaces walked off before frank gasped waking up with a start with his hand over his heart panting heavily.

Deimos was still awake when Frank awoke with a start.

"Frank, is everything okay?" he asked.

James stirred. "Deimos, aren't you tired?" he asked sleepily.

"Not really. I'm going to go to sleep after I check if Frank's okay."

The fire by now had died down to embers.

Dan watched the fire a bit as it died, relaxing and getting ready to go to bed.  He had laid down to go to sleep when he heard Frank and Deimos.  "Are you ok?" He asked, concern in his voice as he looked over to where they were.

"Yes but I think I know where the next portal is." Frank said. After pausing for a moment he asked "Deimos do you know or have you ever heard of a place called claw Valley?"

Cleve was usually a fairly heavy sleeper. Being a sailor, he was used to sleeping to the sound of waves and diesel engines. Probably due to all the thoughts plaguing his mind, Cleve found it very difficult to stay asleep. He woke up to Frank's heavy breathing.

"Claw valley?" Cleve asked, "Maybe we can ask Ruby. We might as well ask her right now, actually." Cleve slowly walked over to Ruby and tapped her.

"Hey, Ruby," Cleve asked, "Do you know a place called Claw Valley?"

"Yeah, I know such a place," Ruby responded sleepily, "Claw Valley is a big valley of Sharpteeth. It's the most dangerous place I know. Not even Red Claw dares to get close. Why did you ask?"

Cleve looked at Frank. "So, the next portal is in Claw Valley?" Cleve asked, "This is going to be tough."

"Yeah it certainly won't be a milk run." frank said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Maybe Deimos and Chomper can talk to some who live there since they are both sharpteeth.  Though most of us should get a good night's sleep, those who need it.  Then we can talk over and make detailed plans tomorrow." Dan said sitting up from where he was.

"From what Ruby has told us do you really think that will work?" Frank asked dan.

"It might even end up like Operation Tidal Wave," Cleve said, "But Dan's right. Let's sleep and discuss tomorrow. I have lots of questions on my head right now."

"Right well good night everyone." Frank said before yawning and falling asleep.

The hours passed quickly and the light woke up Theo and James.

"Good morning," Theo said.

"Good morning, James replied, getting up and splashing some water from a canteen on his face.

His stomach growled. "Let's wait until everyone's up then decide who does what and then we start planning."

"Sounds good," Theo said as he nibbled on some leftover fruit.

"Morning guys," Cleve said as the slowly got up, "How's your leg doing, Frank? The wound on my arm has pretty much healed. It'll probably leave a scar though. Are you planning on going anywhere this morning? I was thinking that we can go back to the wreck of the 109 and salvage the cannon. We might find some other useful things as well."

Cleve was still wondering about the note the German pilot left Frank, and he wanted to search the Bf109 for documents relating to their presence in the dinosaur world. At this point, Cleve became fairly convinced that their appearance had something to do with German experiments involving portal technology. And just in case if they did find something, Frank would be able to translate it. Even if they didn't find anything, they would still be able to salvage the 20mm cannon.

"It's doing better cleve." Frank said. "I guess we could head back to the plane but I think we should wait for Deimos to wake up so we could ask him more about claw valley." Frank said nodding his head.
