Team Tembo: Day one

[sparednothing]

[By now you should have already woken up to your surroundings. Your camp is in the jungle, surrounded by tents, vehicles and cages full of dinosaurs. Wander around, check out the armoury, wonder why there are a bunch of dinosaurs in cages, or get yourself a tent]

[Lara watches from a distance, and she sees a baby Tyrannosaurus with the man. Her earlier assumption was correct, it seems. They're here to capture dinosaurs...]

[collectmyfee]

[He nods over to her, his arm full of baby dinosaur]

You, girl. Stop gawking and open a damn cage.

[lara_the_explorer]

[How does he know her? And why the dinosaur? No matter, she complied and opened a cage big enough for a baby T-Rex. Whatever is going in here, she's confident she'll find out soon enough]

Yes, sir.

[collectmyfee]

[The Rex's leg looks broken, as he slide it carefully into the cage, closing it shut behind him]

We'll need to keep it sedated until morning.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara nods. Just pretend to be a good soldier for now]

Yes, sir. I'll make sure of it.

[collectmyfee]

[Good girl, that's what he likes to see]

Good. How are the other animals faring?

[lara_the_explorer]

[Oh shit, she doesn't know. Quick, make stuff up!]

They're all sedated and locked in their cages.

[collectmyfee]

[And she passes!]

We need to keep an eye on the. [He pauses, frowning, trying to think of the name, before giving up and making a random gesture over his head, as if showing off a horn or a hedcrest] The Elvis one. It reacted badly to the last batch.

[lara_the_explorer]

Got it.

[She really doesn't]

[collectmyfee]

Good.

[And he's off, checking on the ammo, checking on the animals. He makes no motion for her to follow him, seems he doesn't much care either way]

[lara_the_explorer]

[But of course, Lara followed him. For an archaeologist, she seems to be pretty good at being sneaky]

[collectmyfee]

[He seems to be going for a bigger gun, checking it]

I'm going to go see if I can track the buck. Man the fort while I'm gone. You seem semi capable.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Oops, busted. This guy is good]

I'll see what I could do, sir.

[Lara pretended to change her armaments]

[collectmyfee]

Good. It should be quiet tonight. Once I've got my buck, we can leave this god forsaken hellhole in the morning.

[And he's heading back out]

Don't let anyone let those animals out. We're got some protesters in the group.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara nods as Tembo leaves the armory tent. She then muttered to herself]

Some protesters, huh?

[Interesting...]

[collectmyfee]

They're getting upset about the animals. Ludlow couldn't make a ood screening process if he damn well tried.

[lara_the_explorer]

I'll keep an eye out for those people as well. Be careful out there, sir.

[She's got a good idea what's going on now, so she doesn't think she needs to follow Tembo any longer.]

[collectmyfee]

[And off he vanishes into the jungle.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE LARA]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara gulped. She's in a tight spot right now. She never lead a group before, much less betrayed someone's trust... But she's not really feeling too good about caging a dinosaur. Especially the baby T-Rex...

Whatever happens, she's just going to try and keep everyone alive]

[collectmyfee]

[Relax Lara. It's not like someone will break into the camp in the middle of the night and let all the dinosaurs free or anything.

...Oh. Wait]
