Futuristic ARK: Survival of the Fittest (Closed)

[Darkling0096]

Once the beast was down, Jack got down and started crafting things to build a restraining structure around the spino, as well as running over with narcotics. Half of the tranquilizaer arrows in his own quiver had vanished, and he had to stop and grab some narcotics to keep the beast down. By the time he got there, the spino's Unconscious bar had shrunk significantly. "Vera, raw meat!", he called back to the fortress. He'd forgotten to grab some on the way there. When he got to the spino he immediately started laying down fence foundations to build a quick wooden restraint structure around the beast.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera made quick work gathering meat and rushing out to give it to the spino, "Are we really about to tame this?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"You got a better idea?", Jack asked, "Either we tame this thing or we try to kill it before it wake up."

 

[Silverwings]

"We could use a big beast like that," Roan commented, "It would be great protector."

"Good point," Vera replied.

 

[Darkling0096]

With the building materials coming in, Jack started assembling a frame to keep the spino's head in one place, it's fin, tail, and legs immobile. "I don't know if this is gonna hold," Jack said, "But it should make life difficult if it tries to get free." The thing's taming bar only went up by incremental amounts when it ate the food in it's inventory. "We're gonna be here a while," Jack shook his head.

Back in the fortress, Anna was just about ready to lose her head, she didn't know what was going on, she couldn't stand without help and everyone was elsewhere fighting some massive dinos that had appeared, and left her behind. She didn't know if they'd taken it down or if it had eaten them, and she wouldn't know until either they came back or it came to eat everything else in the fortress.

 

[Silverwings]

"Do you have a handle on this?" Roan asked, "I wanna go update Anna so she isn't worried we got eaten."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Yeah, just go," Jack shook his head and waved Roan off. Even if the restraint failed, it would take a while for the spino to get loose, so Jack was confident they'd had it tied down.

 

[Silverwings]

Roan nodded, making his way to their bed ridden friend. He knocked before entering, "Good morning."

 

[Darkling0096]

A bolt thunked into the wood next to Roan's head as he opened the door, she wasn't sure what was supposed to be coming in right now until she saw Roan's head, looking half panicked. "Did you get it?"


Down at the Spino, Jack put a couple chairs down so he and Vera could sit and keep an eye on the spino. "I don't know what we're gonna do with this thing, honestly." He shook his head before forcefeeding more narcotics down the thing's throat to keep it in a coma.

 

[Silverwings]

Roan jumped when the bolt hit the wall, "Shit. Take my head off."

He took a breath and nodded, "Spino is being tamed and we are all unharmed."

"Leave it outside the wall for now," Vera suggested, "Let it stay out here to protect the wall batter I suppose."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Are you sure?", Anna was still wide-eyed and jittery from her panicking, "No one's hurt?"


Jack nodded, "If it gets loose we're doomed."

 

[Silverwings]

"No one is hurt," Roan assured her, "Theyre down there keeping an eye on the thing."

"Yea, lets hope it doesnt," Vera replied.

 

[Darkling0096]

Anna sighed, relaxing and lowring her crossbow, "You guys scared me!" She put her hand out, "Help me up, if I'm stuck here much longer I'll die of boredom."

Jack nodded in agreement as he looked up at the sky to figure out where the sun was. Taming this thing was gonna take all day, it looked like. "Looks like the trip's postponed again," he shook his head.

 

[Silverwings]

Roan moved to aid her. "Where to then?"

"It'll be ok," Vera said softly, "Just be glad we could take it down."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Outer wall,", Anna pointed at the outer wall of the fortress with it's walkway, "Something to see and shoot if that thing moves."


Jack sat back down, "You okay? You've been talking differently, sometimes."

 

[Silverwings]

Roan nodded and helped her to the wall, "How's this?"

"I'm fine," Vera said, looking over at him, "Just antsy i suppose."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Thank you," Anna nodded and propped herself on the railing so she could sorta stand.

"Hmm," Jack nodded, "It's been a high stress situation recently."

 

[Silverwings]

"Not a problem," He replied, staying by her,"Hows your leg feeling?"

"One thing after another," She replied, watching the bar rise a bit.

 

[Darkling0096]

"It's still sore," Anna poked the bruise and winced, "I don't think it's just a sprain." She shook her head.


"Yep," Jack nodded and got up to circle the spinosaurus. "Is there anything specific you've been wanting, lately? Kinda like Lil' Chicken, 'cept not?" He didn't really know how else to phrase that.

 

[Silverwings]

"You sure," he asked, looking at it.

"I dont really know whats out there, but I'd love something big," She said with a smile.

 

[Darkling0096]

"I haven't been able to move my leg from the knee down since yesterday," Anna shook her head, "A sprain would have probably started to wear off by now."


Jack raised an eyebrow and gestured to the spino. He'd meant like something that could ride on her shoulder, or maybe some kind of item she couldn't get to herself, but if she wanted big, they had big. "How big you want?"

 

[Silverwings]

"Well, the injury was kind of late in the day," Roan replied, glancing down at the spino, "Maybe it still needs to heal."

"Hey, I suppose a spino would work," She laughed, "I mean more like a bronto or something but I can't complain with this."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Maybe," Anna looked down at the angry bruise again, "But I don't think so, when you and Jack get hurt you recover for the most part by morning." She shook her head, "I think there's something else going on.

Jack found himself laughing at that, "And I meant something like a dimorphodon or a icthysornis, something you could carry on your shoulder." He shook his head, "I don't know if we'll be able to tame a spino without some distance.

 

[Silverwings]

"Maybe, but how do we find out?" He wondered.

"I would love a dimorphodon. They're cute," Vera said cheerfully.

 

[Darkling0096]

"I don't know," Anna shook her head, "It might be broken."


There it was, "I'll see what I can do," Jack nodded, looking around for the little bird things that were usually flying around. There didn't seem to be any out, the spino and the sunning pteranodons landing on the beach to get warmed up and eat for the day.
