Jocelyne jumped, sitting up instantly: "I'm awake, mom, I'm awake!" she screamed, only to realize that the person who had pulled her out of the dream world wasn't her mother at all.
"Do I look so much like a woman?" Jackson asked, amused.
"A little" the girl replied jokingly.
“Don't say that in front of Abe, please. He'd make fun of me for the rest of my life" the militia leader laughed in turn, and then took a look at the girl's bed: "Did you spend another sleepless night?"
Jocelyne looked awkwardly at her bed, which was flooded with computers, books and electronic devices. "Apparently" she said with a shrug.
Jocelyne's mental condition had been improving for some time. Slightly, sure, but still they were getting better. Although she still had nightmares and was clearly suffering from PTSD symptoms, she had finally stopped trying to stay awake as much as possible. She forced herself to sleep and this was clearly benefici

I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Arrive to the continent
Sobek emerged beside the ship and rapped three times on the hull. Carnopo, Al, and other dinosaurs quickly got out of the hold and leaned out of the hull to be able to talk to him. "What's going on, pack leader?" they asked; in fact, Sobek normally came at night to avoid attracting attention, so the dinosaurs found it strange that he had come to call them in broad daylight."We are arrive" Sobek replied, pointing to the coastline that was becoming more and more evident on the horizon. "We must prepare for ditching""Ditch... what?"“Ditching, it's… forget it. In any case, given the current trajectory of the ship, we will end up straight into a port... and no, I don't have time to explain you what a port is!"The autopilot was programmed only to follow the naval route. Slowing down and landing near ports was the crew's job. Dinosaurs had no idea how to steer a ship, so they could neither perform such operations nor change course. Therefore it

Sobek barely checked what had happened at the crash site; his mind was focused on swimming in the muddy waters of the river.Even though he couldn't see or hear them, he knew that all the other dinosaurs he had taken from the zoo were around him. This was because he had given them both [Ambush] and [Swim speed].His plan had been simple but brilliant. Sobek could have simply had the ship abandoned in the open sea and then sunk it, but he had preferred to follow another path. In order to go unnoticed, the dinosaurs would have to use [Ambush]; so, however, they would also be invisible to him. And if the river and the sea into which it flowed had been full of ships there would have been the risk that someone would be discovered.Many of the dinosaurs in his pack weren't swimmers, and with [Swim speed] they would end up with a speed they weren't used to. For example, ankylosaurs were not used to moving at more than 10 km/h, but with [Swim speed] they would have reac
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Meeting with the scientists
While Sobek began his sleep, not very far away ('not far' just for say: we are still talking about hundreds of kilometers, which were nothing for a planet as big as Eden) Jocelyne was having a video call with some of the most important scientists in the world."Forgive me if I disturb you at such a time" she said as she looked at her computer. There were two windows on the screen: on one appeared the faces of Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm and Sarah Hardy, while on the other were Mitch Morgan and Jamie Campbell. In practice, the five scientists who recently had obtained the most significant discoveries: the last two with their studies on Spinosaurus superior and the first three with those on Spinosaurus ingens.“You don't disturb us, Miss Jersey. Rather, we are questioning the reason for your call” Alan replied. He wasn't the only curious one: even the most famous scientists in the world weren't often called by important personalities, so they wondered what had pr

"Robert Oz?" Mitch exclaimed, and his expression didn't seem happy. "I know you""Not for fame, I presume" murmured the man as soon as he entered. “Mr. Morgan, Miss Campbell, Miss Hardy, it's nice to meet you. As for the two of you, it's nice to see you again” he said looking at Ian and Alan. "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Oz" replied the two. "Do you know each other?" Mitch asked surprised. “Yes, it was a long time ago. After all, we were both biologists. We did some research together, and I introduced him to Ian” Alan explained. "Then he began to take an interest in genetic engineering and we moved away" “Oh… I understand” Mitch said, but suddenly Jamie exclaimed, “Wait a minute! So you are THAT Dr. Robert Oz? The one who was expelled from the scientific community for having theorized the possibility of an awakening of the cognitive abilities of animals?" "My reputation precedes me apparently" Robert grumbled. "I guess you haven't heard much good about me" "You're right" Mitch murmu
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Ending the third evolution
[Evolution complete: congratulations, you have evolved to Spinosaurus imperator!]'Groan... I don't know why, but I'd like to sleep another five minutes' Sobek thought stretching. And a little later he understood why."Pack leader! You woke up!" Buck's deep roar made him shake. Shortly after, other rumors reached his ears. "How do you feel?". "Are you hungry?". "Do you want something?".Do you know what it means to wake up and be pestered by questions without even a second to understand something? No? Well, good for you."Shut up!" Sobek roared, rising abruptly. The dinosaurs around him fell silent instantly.Quiet at last, Sobek was able to look around. Buck, Carnopo, Al and many others were surrounding him as if he were an idol just out of a concert, but far beyond dozens and dozens of other dinosaurs were observing the situation from a distance, undecided on how to act.Sobek regretted the times it had evolved with no one around. At least
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Increasing the size of the herd
Finally Sobek turned back to the dinosaurs. As he tried his new skills, many more had arrived. 'Am I wrong or are there more than before I evolved?'.The questions can wait. "Tell me, has something important happened in my absence?" he asked simply.Explaining the dinosaurs for his behavior and evolution was out of the question. For humans, knowing the thoughts of their leaders was important, but for animals it was different. A pack leader didn't act like this: he didn't have to give any explanation for his actions. Even if Sobek was tempted to say 'sorry, now I'm done checking my powers, tell me something nice', this act would have been interpreted to the ears of his subordinates as an act of weakness. For the animals, lowering themselves to the level of others was a sign of ineptitude. Therefore, if Sobek wanted his pack to remain united and steadfast, he always had to be indifferent and sure of himself.Buck stepped forward and spoke for everyone. "We haven't

Finally alone, Sobek was able to devote himself to... well, himself.He would have explain his intentions to the dinosaurs, of course. By using the ability to exchange images and feelings through the [Contract] he was more than certain to make them understand the gravity of the situation. After all, on Internet he could find very suggestive images concerning the problems of pollution and human invasion. If he had used this ability well, the dinosaurs would have fully understood the danger and would have been even more motivated to follow him; after all, their survival was at stake.However, this wasn't the time. Sobek wanted to wait until all of his skills were fully unlocked before giving them the speech. This is because if the dinosaurs had known of the danger posed by humans they would surely have grown impatient, and that would have thwarted his plans.He also wanted to become able to talk to pterosaurs before making any pre-war speeches. Dinosaurs alone cou
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Battle between tyrannosaurs
Buck didn't return that evening, and neither did the following ones. On the contrary, he continued his journey to north, following the traces left by his old pack.When Sobek had let himself be captured by humans, the tyrannosaurs weren't too far from their refuge: it would take half a day to reach them. But the pack had moved over the months, making the road much longer.Buck, however, had on his side the nose and the instinct of a hunter; with these two weapons that nature had provided him he could track down an ant from many kilometers away. Even if it was a journey lasting several days he could still reach the pack.It went on for two days and two nights without ever stopping. Only on the third day did he allow himself a few hours of rest before sunrise. He did not even hunt: he ate a few bites from an old carcass and then continued on his way.For a wild animal, order from a pack leader was everything. And if you were talking about a respected pack l

Epilogue
It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

Death of a legend
On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

The last fight
After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

The first true hunt
Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

Passing to the next generation
Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

Path of the giant
One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

Science is eternal
More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

Giant of the skies
Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
