Jocelyne seemed to have taken a vow of silence. The same was true of Jackson. Neither of them really wanted to talk.
In the end it was Jackson who broke the ice: "I hope you know what you are doing"
"I know" Jocelyne replied simply. Though she had gone mute as her cloistered nun, her eyes still burned with determination, which was enough for Jackson to believe she wasn't lying. "Do I have your word that you won't speak?"
"I trust you and I know you have your reasons" Jackson replied. "As long as you promise me you won't make me wrestle with a carnotaur again, my lips are sewn up"
Jocelyne barely laughed at that joke. “I won't let you fight a dinosaur anymore, I guarantee it” she said. "How did you go with Abe?"

I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The private investigator
It had been about five days since Malcolm, Ellie and Alexander had been released. Since they were a family too, they had 'priority' over others. Therefore, after two months of waiting, they had finally been released following the last exchange with the dinosaurs.Initially he was not at all sorry; they were finally free and could go home. Unfortunately, they soon realized that the world had changed a lot in their absence.The entire global economic system had been disrupted, with a consequent increase in many prices in the energy and food fields. Even though Jocelyne had found the solution to these problems and Hammond was working to solve them, the rest of the world was slower on the uptake and consequently a small economic crisis was inevitable. The prices of fuel, food (especially meat) and utility bills had all gone up. And to make matters worse, they now no longer had a place to live or a job.Both Malcolm and Ellie worked exclusively in the colony. Now tha

“Jocelyne, my dear! It makes me strange to be called that way. Godfather…""I can go back and call you 'Mr. Hammond' if you wish"“No, no, godfather is fine! I could get used to it..."Jocelyne gave a chuckle. It was clear that Hammond genuinely enjoyed his new role. As she chuckled, however, the old man's tone became more serious. “So… how did it go? If you called me you must be back in one piece""I'm alive, as you can see""What happened with the dinosaurs?"Jocelyne considered, not knowing how to describe it. "It was an experience... very enlightening. Lord Sobek is an excellent speaker. He made me see a lot of things that were confusing before” she replied. “However, I couldn't get him to open up to us. He intends to keep his boundaries closed... for now""For now?""Yes. Lord Sobek is right, opening the borders would be too dangerous at the moment. So I intend to eliminate that

One year. A whole year had passed.During that time many things had changed, but Sobek had mostly focused on one thing: eating. And finally, that day the System notification confirmed that he had reached enough skill points to maximize all of his abilities."At long last!" Sobek exclaimed as he spent his skill points to max out [Linguistics (3)], the latest skill not yet fully updated. "It took me a whole year... but I can finally stop"He had taken every free moment to eat.

I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The Queen of the Sea
In the city of the Neanderthals, life had changed a lot in the last year.Thanks to Sobek's gifts, Neanderthals no longer had to worry about getting food. It was now a guarantee. They still needed water, and in fact they periodically went to the river to fetch it, but with the dinosaurs that no longer attacked them everything had become easier. There were still prehistoric mammals and reptile-mammals, of course, but they were much smaller and less dangerous than the ferocious giants that reigned over the forest.Thanks to this, working in the fields and farming had become largely obsolete. Food was no longer a problem, so there was no longer a need to produce it. This clearly left many people out of work, as 90% of the city's inhabitants were focused on the primary sector. They hadn't initially noticed the problem as they had to focus on building the armor, but now, after more than a year, the effects of this change were starting to be felt.Within a year, the N
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Dinosaurs strong together!
"Great job," Sobek confirmed satisfied when Mazu brought him the good news. "Another piece went in his place" He now had a lot of bonus money, which meant he could afford a lot of weapons and armor. Also, at the next battle, Sobek planned to take over the whole continent, which would earn him a huge number of bonus money. Which meant he could afford to equip his army with better means than mere individual strength. Sure, he couldn't spend it lightly anyway. Thanks to Rambo and his intelligence, he knew that humans were setting up surface-to-air missiles. When the time came he would need an effective counter. With marine reptiles he could have created a blockade to prevent ships from passing by and with pterosaurs he could stop planes, but to block the missiles the only solution was another missile. There were no third possibilities. However, he would think about the war when the time came. For now, the truce still held. He could afford to focus on something else. For example, he no
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Evaluate proposals
Sobek took Buck to guide him to visit all their camps around Latissa. Thanks to the power of [Teleportation], traveling several tens of kilometers in a few moments was absolutely simple. Sobek gave many speeches, one for each camp, to inspire his troops to work even harder.Sobek had found that most of Latissa's recruits weren't ready to go to war yet. Even with [Regeneration] and the food provided by the feeders, their bodies had taken months to recover, reducing the time for actual training.Unfortunately the environment, or rather the pollution, worked against Sobek's designs. The spinosaurus could see that the situation was much worse than he had initially imagined. Human-controlled continents were reduced to deserts, but even where humans had not yet reached the sea level was rising, the oceans were full of garbage, the climate was changing, and life had to struggle hard to survive.Sobek knew that there was a 'no-return limit', that is a maximum time withi

After completing his inspection of the other continents, Sobek returned to Maakanar. He didn't like what he saw very much, but on the other hand he already knew it would be like this: he remembered the effects that climate change had had on Earth, so it was not surprising that the same would happen. on Eden.With his actions, Sobek had helped slow the catastrophe. He was pretty sure he had gained a few years, maybe even a decade or more. That time was more than enough to 'fix the world'. Very soon, in fact, the second phase of his plan would begin.He knew that it was now only a matter of time before humanity attacked... exactly as he hoped.He had been certain that humanity would not keep the peace when Rambo confirmed to him that humans were starting to build armaments again. His intelligence network had infiltrated all overseas nations, and thanks to it Sobek had constantly under control all movements of humanity.As he had feared, the humans had resum
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Unrest in the human world
It wasn't just the dinosaur world that was changing. Human world was also undergoing constant change.For a few months after the discovery of the existence of intelligent dinosaurs, fear had continued to spread through the streets. However, people adapted quickly. After nearly a year of peace, people got used to dinosaurs.By now people talked about dinosaurs as they talked about ethnic minorities or a country they were at odds with. The population of all nations was divided between those who aimed at coexistence and those who hoped for their total extermination.Humans were malleable and hypocritical creatures. The same people who in fear had asked governments to negotiate for peace a year earlier, now that the fear was gone wanted nothing more than to see the dinosaurs disappear from the world.John Hammond was at the head of those seeking a coexistence relationship with dinosaurs. For a whole year he had been promoting campaigns that favored lifestyles

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
