Chaos at the illegal market

Belos was a nation just south of Odaria. It wasn't very big; compared with the nations of Earth, it wouldn't have been bigger than Belgium. Officially it was a completely autonomous parliamentary republic.

All bullshit.

Everyone in the world knew very well that Belos had nothing autonomous: he depended completely on Odaria to survive. There was also very little democratic: as in Odaria, politicians were elected on the basis of how willing they were to satisfy the wishes of the financial giants. If they weren't, then they didn't go beyond mere candidacy. All the countries bordering Odaria were more or less like this; practically vassal states.

Of all the nations that depended on Odaria, Belos was perhaps the worst offender. More than a nation it was considered a haunt for crime. The most shady and illegal activities were carried out in the open without anyone doing anything to stop them. Brokers and gangsters around the world used it as a crossroads for their dir

    Not a millisecond seemed to have elapsed for Snock. But when he opened his eyes he was no longer in the middle of the black market, but inside a warehouse in the city of Cartago.'So that's what the pack leader meant... what a prodigious power' the giganotosaurus thought, while he admired the effectiveness of [Teleportation].With a glance he quickly counted the dinosaurs around him. Everyone was there, including the atrociraptor team. Ghost, Tiger, Panthera, and Red also seemed quite amazed by the power of [Teleportation]; as far as the other dinosaurs were concerned, they were practically insane."What... what happened?""The world has changed!""What magic is this!?"The dinosaurs were starting to fidget. Snock considered whether to intervene and restore calm, but before he could decide the door he swung open and several dinosaurs entered the warehouse. Among them Snock recognized Buck at once. "You're back" the t-rex growled.Even

    Jackson watched the waves crash against the ship's keel. Their noise was now so familiar to him that it was almost unbearable. In the distance, through the dense sea mist, it was possible to glimpse a strip of land.The docking on Maakanar was imminent.'Very soon we will cross the border line. I hope the dinosaurs don't take us down as soon as they see us' he thought tensely. He looked at the other soldiers, most of whom were seated on the deck. All of them were trying to distract themselves as best they could: there were those who smoked, those who read, those who polished their weapons, who watched a video on their mobile. But Jackson knew they were tense, he could tell by the veins on their necks and their posture.The soldiers weren't the only ones worried. The ship's crew was also tense, and unlike the soldiers they weren't good at hiding it.Very soon the captain himself came to him. “Sir, in two minutes we will cross the border line and be i

    The tunnel continued underground for at least two hundred meters, going deeper and deeper. It was spacious enough for two trucks to pass through and at least five meters high. The structure was meticulously constructed to support the weight of the rock above. Jackson and his men moved cautiously down the tunnel, guns already pointed and safety-leaping, ready to kill anything in front of them. Once again, no traps were triggered. The alarm did not even go off. The troops reached the parking lot at the end of the tunnel unscathed, through which the real entrance to the underground structure opened. The lights were on and the cameras were active, but for some reason there was no one waiting for them. For Jackson this was clearly a trap. And he didn't like him. "Dan, Dorian, have you memorized the map of the facility?" "Yes, sir" the two replied in unison. “Well, then we split into three teams. Mine will go to the security department, Dan's to the testing department, Dorian's to the r

    That same evening Chloe contacted the top of the NMWA and claimed that Jocelyne Jersey was in possession of 'information of vital importance to the dinosaur problem'. Governments reacted promptly and set up a meeting as early as three days later.For the second time, Jocelyne appeared before the NMWA, but this time she did not hide anything. She explained in detail everything she had done, what she had discovered, how she had put together her team of scientists and everything else about her. She didn't miss a single detail.Nobody interrupted her during her explanation. The heads of state of the various nations remained silent as they listened to her.

    The meeting went on for a long time to come. Robert Oz remained inside the hall all day and spoke incessantly to the NMWA explaining everything he knew. When he finished Dr. Oz was placed under witness protection: in a flash, he had become too important a subject to risk anyone attempting his life.He was not the only scientist to be brought up: in the following days, the NMWA summoned all the scientists that Jocelyne had named in his explanation. Mitch Morgan, Jamie Campbell, Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler all stood in front of heads of state around the world and presented their ideas on what to do. They too were placed under witness protection.The media obviously wouldn't have waited long to make such news public. In less than a week the names of those scientists would become world famous.However, Jocelyne didn't care. When she was asked to leave the room she did so without looking back.

    After the ship carrying him returned to the mainland, Wu was locked up in Cagerock prison, considered the safest in the world. No one had ever escaped from there. He was kept in constant isolation, except for interrogation. Nobody could see him, not even family members.But money could buy anything, and John Hammond knew this well. After releasing some bribes he had received permission to be able to carry out an interview with the prisoner. The prison director had chosen to go along with him, obviously on the condition that no word was made of that exception to the rule.Hammond didn't like enclosed spaces, but he was willing to make an effort. However, the further they went down, the harder it was for him to stay calm. Cagerock Prison was an underground facility with different levels of detention, and Wu was locked up in the very last one. The white walls and pale lights gave a sense of sickness to the environment, and the guards armed with machine guns did not improv

    "Good evening everyone, kind viewers, and welcome back to TG vision 54. An extraordinary twist shocked the world after a secret capture team managed to arrest Dr. Henry Wu, who was found to be guilty of the current awakening of the cognitive abilities of dinosaurs. The scientist has indeed confessed that he deliberately unleashed this global ecological disaster with the support of the well-known multinational Reiden Global. Line to Martha Sinuzzi, currently in front of Cagerock prison, where Dr. Wu is currently being held" The camera shot left the studio and showed a woman in front of a crowd of protesters. “Thanks, Simon. We are currently near the Cagerock prison, where following his capture, the notorious scientist Henry Wu was imprisoned awaiting trial.

    Just a few weeks after his capture, Henry Wu was hauled before the international court. To bring him there, the armed forces had to organize a real armed convoy: the discovery that he was responsible for everything had infuriated the population, which obviously wanted nothing more than someone to blame.The news had gone around the world in minutes. Every detail, from the Mother Cell to the illegal Reiden experiments, had been made public. In less than a day the shares of the Raiding Global had collapsed and the people had attacked all the factories of the multinational, destroying them. The police forces had not been able to stop the fury of the people.As soon as the Reiden Global executives learned what had happened, they very cunningly took all their belongings, including their unlimited fortune, and fled in their private planes. In all likelihood they already had a new identity by now and despite research by the international community it was unlikely that they wo

    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
