"Marvelous!" Ludlow looked like a child who had just been given an Easter egg. “Colonel Hicks just announced that the army has entered the city. In a few minutes the assault team will enter the area and fix the spinosaurus properly!"
Ebert wrinkled his nose. "Good. I hope everything goes smoothly" he said, then turning to Roland: "Do you know something about the animal that we should know?"
Roland shook his head. "I have only observed it twice. It is a completely unknown creature. We don't know how it hunts, how it behaves or how it thinks. All I know is what you already know"
"Seriously? Nothing else?" Ludlow shivered.
“Blame yourself, Mr.Ludlow. You wanted to exhibit the animal immediatly, without knowing anything about it. You didn't wait even a few days to make sure the cage could contain it.

Getting the dinosaurs out of the zoo wasn't part of the initial plan. Sobek had wanted to be captured only to arrive undisturbed in a city, gain fame points and unlock all the boxes of the [Weapon system]. However, he had decided to take another advantage of that affair, taking away some dinosaurs to increase the initial ranks of his army.If Sobek had had to recruit new dinosaurs on his own it would have taken a long time: most dinosaurs were very fast and would have run away the instant they saw him. But if he had had a good initial number of subordinates on his side, then they could have done the work for him, covering much more ground and drastically reducing recruitment times.Thanks to the zoo, therefore, he had obtained dozens of dinosaurs in one fell swoop that would have allowed him to quickly recruit many individuals.According to the plan, after escaping the dinosaurs had activated [Ambush] with the help of Sobek and then headed for the sewers followi

With [Swim speed] Sobek could now swim up to 300 km/h; although they remained underwater for just a minute he was able to put five kilometers away from where they had fallen. When he was sure he was far enough away he emerged holding Carnopo in his jaws, who panted heavily."Are you ok?""You are a fucking madman!"Yes, he was ok."I don't see why I should be called madman. I knew what I was doing""You could have warned me! I lost ten years of my life!""I told you to trust me. If you don't trust your pack leader, how can you call yourself a member of the pack?""Fuck you!"When they jumped off the cliff, Carnopo still had [Reinforced skin], and Sobek obviously had it permanently. In that way, even if they had fallen from a considerable height, nothing had happened, except a little redness in the part that had hit the water. By then he had grabbed Carnopo with his jaws and swam away to give the humans the illusion that they we
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Caught a ship
Even though it was still the middle of the night, anyone who looked out over the sea would have noticed that ships were frequently passing by. The lights that the boats emitted were easy to recognize.Although Flagrand City wasn't a port city it was still located on the sea, so ship traffic was common. Even with the technology at their disposal, humans preferred to sail near the coasts, where there was less chance of encountering monsters such as megalodons or mosasaurs. Therefore any city that overlooked the sea, regardless of whether it was a port or not, could admire the passing ships not even five hundred meters from the coast.The ships of that world, too, were quite huge. On Earth, a container ship reached just sixty meters, but on Eden the standard dimensions were one hundred meters. This is to make the ship more difficult for sea monsters to sink.One might think that marine reptiles and prehistoric fish were just oversized versions of current life forms
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Hunt in the sea
Sobek swam under the ship and memorized the sound of its propellers. He was sure that with his super-developed senses he would be able to track down the right vibration.Then he began to hunt.It had been a while since he'd hunted in the water, but that didn't mean he wasn't capable anymore. He was still able to track down preys and catch them with ease. With all his skills, even in the ocean he wasn't in danger of encountering any predator capable of defeating him. On the contrary, he was the superpredator out there now!He had gone too long without hunting. His body quivered at the thought of a new challenge. He wasn't bloodthirsty, but he was still a predator; his hunting instinct wanted to be vented on some prey. He wanted to sink his teeth into some animal again and fight to tear it apart. Luckily, the ocean was a place teeming with all kinds of lifeforms.He headed out to sea and hid with [Ambush]. Although it was full night, his extraordinary sight

The S.S Venture was a cargo ship over 100 meters long capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo. It was the jewel of the Confederate States of Vinland's navy, a naval engineering masterpiece like few others.Englehorn had been the captain of that ship for ten years. His retirement was very close now. He just had to make that last voyage and then he could get the reward of his hard work. He can't wait to finally being able to retire and enjoy the last years of his life in a quiet country villa.Unfortunately, fate could be a real bastard at times. While the old captain was looking at the sea nostalgically, thinking back to all the times he had admired the placid waves breaking on the keel of the ship, something made the S.S Venture tremble from below.Englehorn lost his balance and barely managed to hold on to the railing, but other upheavals made the ship vibrate like a bell. In the end came a jolt so powerful that the captain slipped and fell i

Meanwhile, on the surface, Sobek had re-emerged with the elasmosaurus in his jaws. Even though he had improved his freediving skills over time, he couldn't last long without breathing. Unfortunately, he wasn't like crocodiles or whales that could hold their breath for hours.He wasn't afraid of the submarine. Unlike him that could count on [Reinforced skin], it couldn't go up fast, or the pressure difference would tear it apart. He could eat calmly. He wasn't even worried about the submarine reporting his location to the authorities. After all, getting attention was exactly what he wanted.While devouring the elasmosaurus he noticed movement in the sky. He raised his snarling head before realizing that it was just a few cormorants aiming for the carcass. Despite being quite far from the coast, seabirds could travel many kilometers every day in search of food, so he wasn't a surprise to spot them.Sobek's ears were filled with not very nice phrases."Oh, h

Sobek dived deep, to make sure no one could see him. Even though he was out at sea and there was no ship for miles around, he knew that humans had eyes everywhere: orbiting satellites had no limit to their field of vision. Fortunately, not even orbital satellites could penetrate tens or even hundreds of meters of water.Once he got deep enough (not deep enough to be completely dark, but not even shallow enough to be visible from the surface) he opened the [Weapons system]. As he had expected, all boxes were now unlocked. But surprisingly, there was more to it.All the boxes were now connected by some sort of pattern. Weapons that were most similar were grouped together (for example, rifles and pistols) and were connected to each other, while those that were more dissimilar (such as machine guns and bombs) were connected via much longer wires. In the center of that strange web was a single square, on which the wording [Personal weapon] flashed.Sobek wasted no ti
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Tracking the spinosaurus
The NMWA contacted Sarah Hardy, Ian Malcolm and Alan Grant immediately after the 'spinosaurus' emergency was discovered, and asked them to find a remedy. The three scientists had been equipped with the best technology available and had access to all the information regarding the movements of the spinosaurus. Finally, after almost a week of waiting, the three famous scientists had deigned to introduce themselves."Welcome, gentlemen" president Palma greeted them warmly. "We are glad you have come to a conclusion. Have you found a solution to this problem?""We have a bad news and a good news" professor Grant replied.A murmur spread through the hall. "Bad news first, please" Palma said, preferring to know immediately what the problem was."All right. We analyzed the data you provided us and the satellite images, and based on the behavioral patterns of the animal and its trajectory we deduced...""The point, professor""I say so, since I am al

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
