Out of time and place

Theo scratched his head as he ate some fruit. "I don't remember seeing anything but there's a place where there's these weird shiny rocks all over the place, including some giant ones."

---------------------------

Deimos had some dried leaves and grass he found and he stacked up some twigs and pieces of bark on it. He then thrust the firebrand into the wood pile, causing it to smolder and then ignite. He blew on it to get it going while he tossed a twig into it.

"Theo!" Deimos shouted. "Watch the fire while I gather some wood!"

He then got up and headed off to the nearby forest.

"Hmm." Dan said thinking, "About how far would you say that is from here, and what is the area like?" He asked remaining sitting and finished his meal.

Theo scratched his head. "It's not that far but there are a lot of sickleclaws and fastbiters there. I think it's their home. And they hate outsiders."

-----------------

James had finished gutting the fish and he placed the guts into a designated "waste pot" for Deimos or Chomper's consumption. He carried the skewers out to the fire and used the last remnants of wood to build a stand. He threw some of the fruit that Dan harvested into the fire so it would give off some aromatic smoke.

--ugh, double post--

Cleve walked back, carrying n armful of wood.

"Shiny rocks?" Cleve asked, "That might just be it. Aluminum can be shiny. We had to get through a group of sharpteeth to get here. They weren't friendly at all."

"Yeah, they refused to let us pass," Chomper said.

Ruby nodded and said, "They refused to let us pass until they finally let us pass. Cleve managed to..."

"I think James in cooking up something delicious," Cleve disrupted, still feeling ashamed over the killing of the sharpteeth, "Let's go back to the cave."

Frank was in the cave looking over his rifle and side arms. "Hey James I have something to ask you." frank said.

"I bet it'll be good indeed." Dan said. "And it sounds like it could be some of the planes after all." Dan said as he started to get up. "Getting back to the cave may be a good idea since it's easier to keep that safe then being out here." He said.

James put the pot of fish guts outside the cave and turned to Frank. "Yes?"

"That bomb that ends world war 2.... was it... atomic?" Frank asked. Frank knew that Germany had been working on such a bomb but was unsure how far they had been before an explosion had taken place where they had been working on it.

Dan nodded, "It was the Americans who built it first. A pbs show they had about that said the Germans were going down the wrong track, from a physics point of view and it would have taken them quite a while to get one since among other things they ignored anything a Jewish mathematics or physics person said. They also had another interesting show that showed that some German scientists, towards the end of the war, suck out of where they worked and had to sneak around and they went to this one house that one of them owned just to ensure they would be captured by the Americans and not the Russians, but that is likely another topic."

James nodded. "Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. They ended World War II."

Deimos returned with some wood, which he deposited in the corner. He noticed the pot full of fish guts. "Chomper, want to share the fish guts?"

Frank lowered his head he thought such weapons were unhonorable. "I never thought I would live to see such weapons used in combat." Frank said.

Dima02 · **Reply #972 on:** March 22, 2011, 08:08:55 PM

"Atom bombs?" Cleve asked, "How can you make bombs out of atoms? They're so small. How much damage can a few atoms do?" Cleve has never heard of the atom bomb, but he knew what an atom was.

Chomper declined Deimos's offer. "No thanks," he said, "I'm already full from the crawlers I ate."

Ruby asked, "What kind of thing is the atom thing you speak of?"

Cleve replied, "They're tiny particles that make up everything."

"A human long ago, I forgot his name, but I think he was a Greek, once had a theory that though you can cut things, there could be a point at which you could no longer cut thing. It is so small you can not see it but need special tools." Dan said.

"Think of the explosion of the Arizona during the Pearl Harbor attack times 1,000 cleve." Frank said.

Dima02 · **Reply #975 on:** March 23, 2011, 08:43:16 PM

"Must be a fairly big bomb," Cleve commented, "I knew nothing about it back in 1943. How did you find out?"

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #976 on:** March 23, 2011, 09:02:25 PM

"It's the weapon that James told us of a few days ago the one that ends the war, you remember that right?" Frank asked cleve.

Kor · **Reply #977 on:** March 23, 2011, 10:26:54 PM

"Despite the devastation and loss of life, it likely did save lives in the long run since you can imagine the loss of life if they tried to take Japan and especially Tokyo if the army and marines had to do it." Dan said pausing in his speaking. "I did hear that a world war 2 former admiral or general, forgot which he was, when there was some debate if it was an evil act or not that he had no problem with the Americans using it since he said if they had gotten the atom bomb first they would have used it on America."

Theo was eating some fruit and he tossed the seeds into the campfire.

James got up and checked the smoked fish outside. They were not ready so he just simply tossed some more wood and fruit onto the fire and leaned against the rock wall and admired the starlit sky.

"My view on such weapons is that they should be banned there is no honor in such weapons since they can't tell the difference between civilian and military." Frank said.
