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

"That may be best, but it's doubtful everyone will give up something like that." Dan said from where he was.

"I no longer see a point in fighting," Cleve admitted, "Stalin is going to reach Berlin, and the atom bomb will force Japan into surrender. Mussolini is already out of the picture. Do you know what type of bomber dropped those bombs and where they took off. Once that airbase is captured, the war will be over for me."

"I'm guessing that it was the B-29 Superfortress am I right?" Frank asked.

"I don't recall what type it was, some sort of bomber.  But I do recall it's name....  The Enola Gay." Dan said.   "If the internet was here I could tell you in a few seconds, but I do recall it's name." He said.

"The B-29?" Cleve asked, "I think I heard something about that. At least back in 1943, it was still in the experimental stage. Speaking of airplanes, we should reach the wreck tomorrow and look for survivors. But for now, just keep the fire going so that the survivors, if any, can see where we are. But for now, I'm going to sleep." Cleve leaned against a rock and was asleep the next minute.

(OOC: Well, here I come!)

December 5th, 1945, The Atlantic Ocean

Midday, out in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. 5 TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers are on an ordinary training mission. Flight 19 was on a final practice run before being sent into action. The leader of the formation had lead them far off course, They were about to be lost forever.

They flew into the Bermuda Triangle. One of the pilots radioed into the leader. "Are you sure we're going the right way? These islands don't look familiar." The leader replied "I"m sure were we'll find the base soon. My compass is broken, But I can still get us home." A pilot on another plane chimed in "It shouldn't have taken this long. We only fueled up enough for the trip. We may have to bail soon."

Just then, a great bright light drowned out the formation. Everyone was momentarily blinded by the Blue light.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prehistoric Times. Several years before the other humans came.

One of the pilots looked out his window, and was surprised by what he saw. "My God! Where are we?" This pilot's fuel had run out. He was too busy staring in awe at the alien landscape to notice. It wasn't until he saw this strange land closing in on him fast, when he realized what was going on. He yelled into the radio "I'm going down!". Seconds later he crashed.

Hours later, he woke up. He was still sitting in the cockpit of the plane. He rubbed his aching forehead. "What happened?". He unstrapped and climbed out of the plane. When he saw the terrain around him, He was confused. "Where am I? Actually, where was I? I can't seem to remember what I was doing." He looked back at his wrecked plane. "Why was I in there? What was I doing?"

He had no time to question. He went back into the plane, and grabed as much supplies as he could carry, and set out to start a camp site. There were many questions floating around in his head, and he didn't have answers to any of them. He had no time to think about it, though. His main concern was for survival.

"I'll help keep watch," Theo said.

Deimos shrugged. "Sure, I'm going to go to sleep."

He then lay in his nest in the corner of the and fell asleep.

James leaned against his backpack and was soon asleep as well. The main campfire was mostly burned down to glowing coals.

"So Theo you interested in hearing a story to pass the time?" Frank asked.

Littlefoot had already fallen asleep in the cave.

For several years. The nameless man lived off the land. When he had time, he looked for survivors himself. He found several other wrecked planes that resembled his own, but he never found another human. Months ago, he had given up his search.

He was getting very lonely, But he stayed away from the dinosaurs he saw. Most of the dinosaurs stayed away from him too, except for the occasional hungry sharptooth. He lived off of nuts and fruits he could forage, and some fish he could catch. He never hunted for anything bigger. He figured he had to save the limited ammunition he had for when he really needed it. He had never even spoken to a dinosaur before, so he didn't know that they could talk.

One night, He was outside of his camp, searching for some food. He saw a light far off in the distance. He thought to himself "Are there survivors?" He dismissed that thought. "No, it can't be. If there were any survivors from the wreckage, I'd have found them a long time ago. I spent a lot of time looking for them." And yet, there was a light. He walked towards it, and discovered it was emanating from a nearby cave. He hung low, and slowly creeped in closer for a peek. He didn't know who was in there, and he didn't know if they were friendly or not.

Frank thought of when he went to germany before the war taking a picture out of his wallet. The photo was of his three cousins, uncle, aunt, and himself outside one of the cities art museums. Frank sighed deeply hoping that his last remaining cousin and his uncle and aunt would live through the rest of the war.

Theo shrugged. "Sure."

He offered Frank half of some fruit.

He leaned back against the cave wall, wondering what was going on and who were these creatures.

"Thank you." Frank said taking the piece of fruit. "Well I just wanted to tell you that even the worst of enemies can be friends." frank said. "The christmas truce of 1914 during the first world war is a good example."

The nameless man was surprised when he saw dinosaurs and other members of his kind sitting together. He was more surprised when he heard one of the dinosaurs speak and give some fruit to a human. He saw that both the dinosaur and the human were acting friendly. He then heard the human talking about how even enemies can be friends.

He didn't remember any of the faces he saw, but he figured he wouldn't anyway, due to his amnesia. He finally decided to come out and let himself be known.

He walked out where he could be seen, tried to look as not-hostile as he could, and asked "Are you survivors, too?"

Frank jumped out of his seat and pointed his rifle toward the ground in a stand by posistion. "We arrived here a few days ago." frank said looking over the newcommer. "What is your name?" frank asked.

"My name is...". He hadn't thought about it in a long time, but he couldn't remember his name either.  "...Um...Actually, I don't remember my name. I must of taken a really bad impact in my head when I crashed, because I can't remember very much at all."

"No, I don't."

He then turned to Theo and said. "Huh, Pretty funny actually. I've been here for a few years, and I never even knew dinosaurs could talk! I always stayed away from them."
