"Well I can't think of any at the moment," Frank said.

"Anyone else have any? I can't think of any at the moment myself." Dan said looking at the others.

"War memories?" Cleve asked, "I always thought that airmen are typically spared from the kind of brutality that people see in the Navy or Army, although I guess any memory can be haunting. I'm still disturbed by the causalities I saw on the USS Patterson. I can only imagine what the army folks see."

"Oh," Ruby said, "I know a good story, a story from the Mysterious Beyond!"

"We airmen also see our share of horrors like that pilot I told you about that was only one thing I saw," frank said before clearing his throat and swallowing hard. He then turned to ruby, "I'd like to hear that one it might be just what we need to raise our morale a bit." Frank said.

James let boiled water cool down a bit before he passed out stainless steel cups of it to everyone. "Water?" he asked.

He took a sip. Even though the water had been filtered through some cloth and boiled, it still had a distinct but refreshing flavor.

Deimos was drinking straight from the river. He then sat on a log next to the campfire - now just some smoldering coals.

"Sure," Frank said taking one of the cups.

"I'll have some water." He said. "If we'll be here a while I wonder if someone would prefer making some sort of distillery or something. I can go without it myself but I know some really enjoy drinking." Dan said. "I also wonder if we can do some sort of solar oven or something." He said.

Cleve grabbed a cup of water and started drinking. "Yeah, food and water should be our primary concern," Cleve said, "And shelter is pretty important too."

"Anyway," Ruby said, "the big buzzing flyer that showed up a few days ago reminded me of this story. It was so long ago that I can barely remember it, but I'll tell you what I'll tell you."

Ruby paused a second before continuing. "When I was just a hatchling, I used to live out in the Mysterious Beyond. I remember one day, I was six huge buzzing flyers in the sky, similar to the one we saw a few days ago, except different."

Cleve suddenly turned and almost spilled his water. "You've seen other airplanes before? What did they look like?" Cleve asked forcefully.

"You mean the big buzzing flyers?" Ruby asked.

"Yes," Cleve yelled, nodding excitedly, "Tell me all you know."

"I really couldn't see too many details, because they were so high up, but they sure were big. They all made a terrible noise as they flew across the sky. They didn't flap their wings at all. Five of them were dark blue with a strange symbol on the wings. The symbol looked like a white star on a blue circle on a white rectangle. They all flew in formation, and they all appeared to have some sort of moving cylinder thing near their tall tails."

"That sounds like an US Navy TBF Avenger," Cleve remarked, grappled by Ruby's story, "What did the sixth plane look like?"

"The sixth big buzzing flyer was similar, but different," Ruby explained, "It was a lot smaller than the previous five planes, and it showed up after the five and it was colored differently. This time, the flyer had a sharper yellow-colored beak with some weird symbol on it. The rest of its body was green. It had a black cross shape on the bottom of its wing."

"That sounds like a Bf 109," Cleve remarked, "Does this sound like the plane you were chasing, Frank?"

(OCC: The five TBF Avengers are Flight 19, a flight that mysteriously disappeared in the Burmuda Triangle in December 1945)

"I would rather not we made alcoholic beverages," James said, passing some water to Dan.

Deimos listened with interest to Ruby's story. "Did you see those flyers ever again?" he asked. He was working on a stone knife.

"Yes it sounds exactly the same," Frank said.

Kor · **Reply #530 on:** November 13, 2010, 11:19:11 PM

Dan nods, "I've heard about that flight. I think some planes or ships or something sent out to look for them may have disappeared also, but I'm not sure of that story. " he said, pausing to drink some of his water before continuing, "As for shelter, the simplest would be to use caves. Maybe caves with several wings so if there is wind blowing into the cave we could use one of the side wings. We could try to make grass huts, but that may take time and I've no idea how they are made. I've just seen pictures of them in books, magazines, and other media also."

"Sleeping in caves sounds good to me," frank said.

Littlefoot turned to frank "So you're fighting against your own country," littlefoot asked.

Frank simply nodded his head.

Ruby shook her head and said: "I never saw those big buzzing flyers ever again."

"Uh, it's that 109 again. I wonder if we can still find the pilot of those Avengers or that 109," Cleve said, "This is getting really interesting, I have to say. Maybe the Avengers can give us a clue as to why we're here, in the time of the dinosaurs."

"You mean there are no dinosaurs where you come from?" Chomper asked.

"Well, um, you see..." Cleve tried to respond, but he didn't have the heart to tell Chomper that all dinosaurs will become extinct.

"I hope so but even if we can find the planes we don't even know if they pilots are still alive," frank said.

Dima02 · **Reply #534 on:** November 14, 2010, 01:49:27 AM

"You guys wanna go looking for the planes?" Cleve asked, "They might yield some clues."

Kor · **Reply #535 on:** November 14, 2010, 02:14:51 AM

"We can, but it would be dangerous wondering around outside this place. And as for caves we can make some bedding using grass or something as an extra thing." Dan said. "Though the pilots may have some idea as you say and they may prefer to live here where it's safer." He said. "Depending how far they flew before they landed or bailed out.

Dima02 · **Reply #536 on:** November 14, 2010, 03:20:10 AM

Cleve nodded and said: "I'm in the Navy, and I know how to survive in a lifeboat. However, I'm clueless on land."

Serris · **Reply #537 on:** November 14, 2010, 03:42:25 AM

"I'm a park ranger so I have some skills in survival but not enough to engage in a search party," James said.

"Caves?" Deimos said. "I think there are some nearby but its too late to go searching for them."

James yawned. "Dunno but I'm going to sleep," he said. He got into his car, locked the doors and fell asleep.

"Guess we'll just have to save the expedition for later then," Cleve said, "It is getting late."

Cleve took a sip out of his cup and laid it down on the ground.

"It was a pleasure to meet you today," Cleve said to the dinosaurs.

"We should be getting back to our folks anyway, it was nice to meet you though," littlefoot said.
