2024-10-29 19:42:56Billy had just time to see the head of a coelophisis appear on the wall before the glass shards rained down on him. He raised his hands to protect himself, but still some splinters penetrated his skin hurting him.
All the windows of the caravan were sealed and protected by iron bars: this was necessary since the vehicle was designed to be in close contact with wild animals. Only one wasn't: the window above the crow's cage. It was a small circular porthole no wider than twenty centimeters, too small for a large animal to pass through.
And indeed, to Billy's delight, the coelophisis was unable to enter. All that could fit through the opening was its head: the rest of the body was too big. Even the animal seemed aware of it, and in fact he withdrew his head after a few seconds.
Billy sighed with relief, but soon after the crow began to stir again.
"CAW! CAW! CAW!"
The crow cawed continuously, almost without catching its breath, and as it did its

"Mr. Grant, please answer my questions!""I already told you no, now disappear""Mr. Grant, I'm asking you please""And I already told you I don't know anything! Now leave me alone!"For almost half an hour the chief of the forest rangers had been pestering Alan for an explanation of what had happened last night. However, Alan could not give any. Also because even he was shocked by what he had seen. He had already told him that he didn't know anything, but the man wasn't willing to give up. "Bullshit! Clearly you're hiding something. Birds that attack a caravan? Velociraptors that stops cars? What were you doing around here, huh?""We were just studying the birds""I've had enough of you scientists. You come up with a worse thing every time. Tell me right now what's going on, otherwise...""Or what? Will you arrest me? We both know you can't. You have no evidence against me""We'll inspect your caravan then!""Go ahead.

A few more days passed, and finally Monica and her pack returned. When Sobek saw the brachiosaurs reappear he could not help but be happy: he would finally have a more concrete idea of the territory than the one that the flying reptiles and satellite photos could give him.When Monica joined him he greeted her cordially: “Welcome back. I hope the journey wasn't complicated""No journey is complicated for us" replied the brachiosaurus waving her huge neck. "We explored all the territory you requested""I was sure of it. Have you encountered any problems?"“No more than any trip we have made. Indeed, thanks to the power you have given us, we have found even less"Monica obviously was referring to [Reinforced skin], which combined with the enormous size of the sauropods made them practically immune to the attack of any existing predator.“I am delighted. Now I have to ask you, did you find what you were looking for?"

First, Sobek wanted to make sure that Monica's escape routes were known to everyone, so he asked Blue to draw an impressive map of the place on a rock. The velociraptor used a mixture of dried fruit and congealed mud to create the dye and had Monica personally accompany him on a tour of the entire valley to memorize every detail.Sobek couldn't help but admit he was surprised. The map drawn by Blue was quite detailed and with primitive symbols to indicate certain things. But the really strange thing was that the other dinosaurs, after a brief explanation, seemed to remember those symbols and understand them. This, at least for normal knowledge of biology, should have been impossible.Only a few animals, the smartest after humans, were able to associate pictures with words. Among the 'dinosaurs', the only ones known capable of doing so were crows, magpies and partly parrots. Still, all the dinosaurs in Sobek's herd appeared to have become capable of recognizing symbols.

Not everything was ok. At least not from Pierce's point of view. Initially the stegosaurus, excited by the fact that Sobek had given him such an important assignment, had launched into the work at three hundred and sixty degrees almost without thinking. He had asked some sauropods to cut down some trees and then with the help of other stegosaurids, especially kentrosaurs, he had torn it to pieces. Unfortunately, things hadn't gone well at all. The stakes obtained were far from what Pierce had imagined. Many of them were crooked and dull. However, the stegosaurus told himself they were okay and had them covered in clay, then planted them on the ground. The problem, however, was that he had limited himself to making them sink a bit into the ground. Result? The pickets didn't hold up for a minute before they collapsed. Pierce was disappointed, but he wasn't discouraged. He made a second attempt, but this time he got Blue to help him. Since he had to use his tail to tear the tree apart,
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Time for the truth
"Gather all the dinosaurs and flying reptiles by tonight, all of them. I intend to talk to them". It was this simple order that Sobek passed on to Buck, Carnopo, Al, Old Li and Rambo. After that he lay down on the warmest and most comfortable rock he found and waited.After a long time it was time to tell the truth. He could no longer keep it hidden: now thanks to Apache he had a large number of propagandists, but they were useless without something to propagandize.Besides, the dinosaurs weren't stupid. They knew there was something underneath. Basically Buck was training a legion under his command, Rambo and his followers were constantly flying from east to west and back, and Apache had brought an unimaginable number of flying reptiles. Dinosaurs weren't really buds, but anyone would have realized at that point that something was boiling in the pot. Sooner or later they would start asking questions, so they might as well spill the beans right away.Sobek initi

The flame danced across the sky for a few seconds, then went out. Buck lowered the flamethrower and placed it reverently at his pack leader's feet.The dinosaurs did not make a sound for several moments, then began to bellow in chorus: "Fire... Fire!""He tame it... He is the tamer of the fire!""Lord of fire!""LORD OF FIRE! LORD OF FIRE!"The words of the dinosaurs seemed to turn into a religious song. Not that it was different from reality. Even though they didn't know what gods and spirits were, the dinosaurs were experiencing the same feeling humans do when facing such entities.Fire was one of the most devastating things in nature. While a tsunami or earthquake was far more destructive, nothing terrified an animal like flames. Not surprisingly, being burned alive was considered the worst death ever. The fire choked, burned, destroyed and killed all forms of life leaving nothing but charred bones.Therefore, for the dinosaurs, th

"There have been numerous animal attacks on local hunters in Sarsans in the last twenty-four hours..." "Four poachers were violently attacked by a herd of einosaurs while hunting in the Vermons nature reserve. Strangely, it seems that the animals overturned the car and then pretended to leave, then waited for the men to emerge from the wreckage..." "The scientific community is still without explanation in the face of the mysterious behavior recently shown by birds, which is leading all over the world to the creation of giant flocks containing various species of birds..." "Another animal escape occurred from a zoo in the city of New Shaggath, this time from the Central Garden Zoo..." Jamie turned off the television with a sharp bang on the button on the remote.

"Good, we are fucked. It was a pleasure to meet you all!" Robert Oz had been ranting like a madman for more than half an hour, creating considerable discomfort for his son who tried in vain to calm him down. The other scientists were more composed, but still their eyes betrayed their concern. Jocelyne couldn't blame them. All those people were convinced that if the dinosaurs had become intelligent humanity would have faced disaster; they had been convinced about it for many months, in Robert Oz's case for years. So now that she'd shown them satellite images of herds of dinosaurs all marching together in the same direction, there was no chance they would remain indifferent. Ian Malcolm's voice calmed everyone's mind. "Let's all calm down, we mustn't jump to hasty conclusions. It is true, based on what we know and what is happening, the situation seems extremely dangerous. But that's not a good reason to panic. We have no certainties, only hypotheses, even if they are quite convincin

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
