Trapped in Time-Extinction by Saxon Andrew Page A

kill one large predator, the feeders will come running to the meal and the roars will wake the dead.”
    Andy looked at Tyler, “Did you think about this when you suggested landing in the trees?”
    “I did. The dinosaurs are whistle trained and if we arrive a day or so ahead of the attack, we can use the whistles to herd them out of the area. We won’t be seen moving in the forest.”
    Harvey looked at Maxius again and saw him saying something to Mark. This kid was going to play an important role in the coming fight.
    Andy stared at Tyler and after a moment slowly nodded and said, “I want the Leadership Council to plan to meet again tomorrow to come up with a plan.”
    Olivia said, “You need to include in the plan just how far you’re willing to go to win.”
    Everyone in the room looked at her and Melody said, “I’m not sure what you’re saying, dear.”
    Olivia looked around, “I’ve only been here a brief moment and I can see that you are good people. Your hearts are warm and you all love each other and are willing to die to defend your community.”
    Melody smiled, “You’re absolutely right.”
    “Do you have it in you to kill every man, woman, and child in that city?” The room instantly grew silent. Those that were talking quietly heard the question and were shocked into silence. Olivia looked around the room and said, “You need to understand that there are just as many of them as you have living here and they will not assimilate into your society.” Olivia nodded toward Zeck, “I think Zeck has told you that the women are more evil than the men in their society and the men are evil indeed. Once the children are eight or older, their cruelty is just as bad as their parents. I’ve seen a group of ten-year-old children skin a slave while he was still alive just to hear him scream. Are you really prepared to go in and eradicate that society down to the last one?”
    Melody slowly started shaking her head, “They all can’t be as bad as you say.”
    Annelise said, “They’re worse!”
    Ophelia nodded, “I’ve seen the children being taught in school how to slowly kill a slave so that he, or she, dies very slowly. They actually brought in live slaves to train them.”
    Zeck shook his head, “Melody, You’ve seen their society.”
    Melody lowered her head, “Actually, I haven’t. I was kept by the Commandant’s wife and I never went out into the community. I know I was beaten for the slightest error but…”
    Zeck interrupted her, “You never saw the slave pens and the site at the harbor where slaves that didn’t pass the test of being an asset to the community were fed to the sea predators. Thousands would come to watch the spectacle and the cheers were loud for the predator that could bite a slave in half.”
    Andy shook his head, “We should try and save the slaves.”
    Olivia said loudly, “NO YOU SHOULDN’T!”
    Everyone turned to her and even Ophelia was shocked by her comment. Andy’s eyes narrowed in confusion, “How can you say that? You were a slave.”
    “Since you’ve stopped the Destroyers from going out and collecting new slaves, the slaves that are lost working in the community are being replaced by Destroyer Warriors that were originally captured slaves. Those slaves are more evil than their masters. You would probably find one in twenty slaves that is worth saving. Most of those you free will lie to you and you’ll end up with thousands of the evil bastards in your society. I just can’t see you risking the lives of your people to save those that don’t deserve it.”
    Andy looked at Melody, “We’ve had numerous slaves join us from our capturing the fleets they sent against us?”
    Olivia said, “How many?”
    Andy looked back at her and heard Harvey say, “Two hundred and thirty six.”
    “Out of how many that came to kill you?”
    Andy stared at Olivia and the room was silent. After a few moments, Annelise said, “More than fifty thousand sailors and
