Astrid bobbed her head as she listened to Veronica and Micah's suggestions. Altogether it was a decent plan and while she still wasn't entirely confident on her ability to rearrange the weather to suit their needs, it still seemed like the best idea they had available given the circumstances. "Yep. Sounds good. Bouncing is kind of a head trip, but it makes sense for what we need to be doing. I'll take for a minute to get Porrklubba good and proper ready but it shouldn't be to-"

 

The Asgardian was cut off by the sound of mass feet stomping the ground. Immediately turning her head to see the approaching sound, her eyes were met with the sight of a honest-to-goodness dinosaur made its presence known from beyond the jungle canopy. "Forbausende!" She beamed out, excited beyond all relief to see the prehistoric animal and obviously not caring at all that the megafauna could be threat. After all, compared to dragons and giants, dinosaurs weren't all terrifying.

"Well, to be honest dinosaurs are a new experience for me." Veronica replied to Micah's question with a small grin. "So, without any clear idea how it might be best to go, I think we should lean towards trying to avoid and not draw attention to ourselves and give the plant eaters space."

 

The teenage Danger waited for the Stegosaurus to move out of their path before she started along again, leading the other two Claremonters along the natural path through the jungle. Every once and awhile, Veronica had to stop and search a bit to relocate the tracks of the missing scientists before they set out once more. As the teens moved down the path, there were sounds all around them in the jungle that suggested the presence of other animals.

 

Soon the teens reached the edge of the jungle and came to a large grassland which stretched out before them down gentle slopes towards the edge of a river that twisted along the banks of more jungle. Down along the edge of the river were large herds of dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, from small, man-sized two legged plant eaters to massive four legged ones with long necks, many of who wadded into the waters of the river.

 

Veronica looked out over the scene for a few moments, a smile on her face once more. She then turned back to studying the ground, looking to recover the tracks of the missing Danger International scientists. Soon she had found them, but knelt down to study something else around them for a few minutes.

Looking back up at Micah and Astrid, she gave a small smile. "Caligae." She stated. "The heavy-soled hobnailed military sandal-boots worn by Roman legionnaires. Looks like Dr. Warren and Dr. Schneider encountered some of the Nova Romans."

 

"Looks like they all headed off this way." She stated, standing back up and pointing off across the grassland in a direction that went generally parallel with the river.

Micah nodded at Veronica's suggestion to just leave the dinosaurs alone. 

 

"Let the cows and dinos graze in peace, sure. Lead on, boss-lady."

 

He did his best to keep full awareness as he want, but there was something about this place that sparked at least a bit of awe. When they came to the clearing with water and lots of animals, he smiled like a goofy kid for about 5 seconds. Then he frowned deeply and crouched down a bit.

 

"Um, I know they're not the best source, but don't the movies and stuff tell us this sort of place is prime carnivore ground?"

 

Then she mentioned military boots.

 

"Wait, Romans? So we have dinosaurs and the Roman Empire?"
