After the internet was disconnected, the whole country went into a state of panic. People had shut themselves up in their homes and waited in fear for something to happen. As Jocelyne had predicted, the absence of the Internet had put an end to most of the riots: with no media, the rioters had stopped regrouping and protesting. However, this situation was not destined to last long: many hotheads had started taking to the streets and throwing stones and homemade Molotov cocktails at the police. Such incidents enticed other people who saw the scene to do the same, and groups of individuals quickly formed and launched themselves ferociously at the police.

Had the internet not been reactivated soon, Odaria would have plunged into chaos. And if the government had not found a way to appease the citizens, a revolution would have broken out. And like all revolutions it would have been a bloodbath, where ordinary people would probably have been involved against their will, and the inn

    “Rafiki, aren't you coming inside? It's quite cold"Jackson was watching the sea waves calmly crash on the rocks. The faint rays of the morning sun could already be seen in the distance, but much of the sky was still dark. “It's not that cold, temperatures are rising. We are in mid-spring after all"On Eden, the seasons lasted a whole year due to the longer orbit due to the larger orbit of the planet. When Sobek was born it was midsummer, and after more than three years it was now mid-spring. However, the temperatures were still a bit stiff due to the cold winter winds that came from the north and hit the northernmost coasts of Maakanar. Just like the one where Jackson was now.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow approaching behind him and a few seconds later Abe sat down next to him. "You say that. The air makes my skin crawl""Then go home or get something to cover yourself"“And leave you here alone? Nah, you know I w

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   A new Constitution

    Within two days, things in Odaria had undergone profound changes.The first, of course, had been the disappearance of the old ruling class. The complete eradication of the families had left a great void in Odaria's economic system, but the government was quick to seize property and land and thus prevented millions of people from falling into poverty due to unemployment. On the contrary, all wages had been raised by at least 5%, an act that had gained even more support from the people.The second change was health care, finally available to everyone and not just to those who were willing to pay. During the first days because of this, the hospitals were literally overrun with patients, as there were many people who, having not received medical treatment for years, were very ill. Fortunately, the doctors had managed to contain the tide of needy: they had first treated those in danger of life and now, slowly, they were taking care of all the others. It would take weeks bef

    “… And since I have heard that the human countries located on Maakanar have chosen to follow the path of peace, rejecting the deployment of high-powered weapons on their territory, the dinosaurs are revoking any threat to them. As long as the situation continues, you have our word that we will never invade your lands. On the contrary, we thank you for choosing to keep the peace and we guarantee our support in case other human nations try to impose themselves on your will"This part of the video was being looped across all parts of Maakanar's five nations. After receiving the mission accomplished message from Jocelyne, Sobek made a second speech where he again declared his neutrality and his intentions to keep the peace. However, the people of Odaria were only interested in the final part, the one where Sobek assured that dinosaurs would not attack human territory if humans refused the deployment of high-powered weapons.It was practically the declaration t

    When Jackson and Abe entered Jocelyne's room, she knew exactly who she was without even looking back. "Excuse me if I called you on such short notice""No problem, miss" Abe promptly replied. "We would be back soon anyway"“I still gave you some vacation. And you needed it, especially you, Abe. So it's right that I apologize to you" Jocelyne said, then winked at the big man: "How are you with Dariela?"Abe shrugged. "All right. She is still a little shocked too if she tries to deny it, but she is recovering quickly her... she is a strong woman""I'm glad, but I didn't mean it that way" Jocelyne said mischievously.It was funny to see Abe embarrassed: the huge man two meters tall and with shoulders as broad as a wardrobe who blushed like an elementary school girl was a priceless sight. "With your permission, I am not required to disclose the details of my private life""They got together" Jackson revealed point blank, with a wicked grin

    The Constitution officially entered into force one day after unification. As promised, the government provided Jocelyne with all the necessary means to transport food across the nation, and they opened the new homes made from the old family properties to the common people.The change was almost instantaneous. Within a day, hunger disappeared from the country and in three days everyone had a roof over their heads. The Great Republic of Beleriard had set a record: no nation on the planet could boast of truly having a zero homelessness rate. Unemployment still existed, but it had finally become less onerous: with the security of a roof over their heads and food on the table, people no longer had to fear so much about losing their jobs.And as Jocelyne had predicted, this did not lead to a decrease in employment in the least. After all, the television license had to be paid, the car installments had to be paid, the furniture had to be paid, a lot of things still had to be

    Jocelyne looked at the NMWA envoy with inattention, who had been talking for ten minutes. “I say it for you! Your nation will benefit too!" he exclaimed. "We may not have another chance! You MUST take advantage of it!"Jocelyne wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes wearily. The envoy, whom she thought was called Grigorji, was already the sixth that the NMWA sent to speak to her in an attempt to persuade her to allow the movement of weapons on the soil of the Great Republic of Beleriard. And it had only been three weeks since she became president.After the election, you immediately set out to counter the demands of the NMWA, which, as she had foreseen, had become increasingly difficult. Foreign nations were literally trying to crush the Great Republic of Beleriard, but Jocelyne had prepared for it in advance.After she became president, she immediately appointed Jackson as foreign minister, and the latter firmly opposed the NMWA's claims, continually recal

    “The situation is now critical to say the least. If the Great Republic of Beleriard does not yield, all our efforts will have been in vain! "It had now been two months since Odaria had refused the deployment of the NMWA's weapons on their territory. By now, the patience of the foreign nations was reaching its limit, and that of the five superpowers of Eden was already over. Clearly, their word carried far more weight than those of other nations; Unfortunately, as was the case in many international associations on Earth, the strongest nations were privileged over the others, despite the fact that the NMWA boasted equity among all its members.The five superpowers were now tired of waiting, so the heads of state of all five nations had requested an emergency meeting with the president of the NMWA. And so Palma had organized a private meeting in which the President of the Confederate States of Vinland, the Queen of the Prettania Kingdom, the Emperor of the Almagna

    “Stand on the sides and keep the guns in their holsters. I don't want to hear a shot, not even the sound of a gun safety, without my direct order. Remember, we are here to welcome an ambassador, not to fight"Abe was coordinating a group of soldiers who were stationing themselves along the border between the Great Republic of Beleriard and the rest of the continent, the same border that Jocelyne and her team had crossed a year earlier to go confer with the dinosaurs. Now the situation was the same, only reversed: now it was the dinosaurs who sent the ambassador.As defense minister, Abe could easily have sent any officer to greet the ambassador, but given the delicate nature of the mission he had preferred to attend in person. Jocelyne had made it clear that this negotiation had to go well, so they could not afford false moves.The group waited. Abe had thought of everything to make the ambassador at ease: to avoid making him walk, he had brought a truck w

    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
