The following is reported on WNYC's Urgent News updates, airing throughout Sunday afternoon.

After the unbelievable incidents of Saturday, arrests have been made in the case of the terrorist group identifying themselves as "The Evolutionaries". Noted professors Jonas Casper, Phil MacDuff, Carol Steinman, Sol Moreno, and Peggy Van Talbot were arrested this morning on charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism, extortion, and fraud. Other charges are still pending arraignment. An anonymous tip led the NYPD to Professor Casper's estate, where the group was planning to flee the city in the wake of the destruction they had caused.

The events of the last twenty-four hours seem almost inconceivable, and the island of Manhattan is still under an official State of Emergency until 4:00pm. With the assistance of the National Guard and a group of unidentified civilians, loss of life was kept to a minimum, although the city controllers estimate property damage to be at least in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

As further information comes in on the incidents of this past Saturday, stay tuned to WNYC Urgent News for all the details.

After everyone gets back, Yvette and Laurie go down to medlab to have the cut on Yvette's arm seen to. Yvette's power makes for complications, and afterwards, she asks Jean an important question.

( I think we've all had enough of dinosaurs to last a lifetime. )

Current Mood: anxious

During the march out of the Conservatory, Kyle and Laurie 'share a moment' out in the jungle. With the DEMON DUCK OF DOOM! (no, really)

( '...My roommates are probably wondering if I fell in or something.' )

During the march, Forge and Mondo unwittingly re-enact a scene from Return of the Jedi, much to the smaller children's amusement.

( 'Hey, you know what this reminds me of? That movie, the Star Wars one? With the little fuzzy... things.' )

At the Conservatory entrance, the rescue team regroups after a night of fruitless searching. Unfortunately, one of the park's inhabitants seems to have a bit of a fondness for the Blackbird. Thankfully, it is followed by several non-native park dwellers, and everyone manages to head home safely.

( Not looking like an eggplant was *not* one of Clarice's specialities. )

On his run through Manhattan, Pietro has another reunion with Eddie Wyndham, complete with Exposition and Rhetoric.

( 'You and your friends haven't made a statement, you've made a monster movie.' )

At the Conservatory, the Blackbird lands, and our rescue team gets to searching. The terrain is a problem, but Medusa finds an interesting solution

( 'As much as I understand your desire to stick together, I believe my ride has arrived.' )

Current Music: U2/Green Day - The Saints Are Coming

Once the dust settles in New York, Angelo and Amanda meet up as planned for her birthday. Dinosaurs be damned.

( What's a little dinosaur invasion to us, huh? )

Current Mood: weird

After fighting off hungry allosaurs, Kyle isn't dealing well with the aftereffects. Garrison manages to shock some sense into him, and Angel finds a rather disgusting application of her power.

( 'Is...everything...okay. Well, it's not okay but is it going to be?' )

After the students have fought off the dinosaur attack, Forge manages to limp his way over for some medical treatment. The royal treatment, in fact.

( 'You were carried off by a dozen 'small' flesh-eating animals, received an untold number of bites and scratches, lost most of your leg, had part of your shoulder torn off, and somehow through it all you managed to hold onto surgical equipment?' )

Meanwhile, the rescue team heads out on the Blackbird to find the missing tour group. To say that this is possibly not the best group of personalities to put together on a mission would be the understatement of the year.

( Maybe if he ignored it, they'd magically get sprinkled with maturity or something. )

Current Music: Thousand Foot Krutch - Phenomenon

While our erstwhile jungle explorers are preparing dinner, Yvette and Laurie manage to keep each other company and comfort each other a little.

( Citronella candles, next time she left the house, she was seriously packing citronella candles. )

Dinner is served. Complete with uninvited guests

( The pack smelled meat. )

*****

( 'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?' )

*****

( Jaws opened wide to snatch up the red-skinned girl, and in a single gulp, she was gone. )

*****

( 'I recommend a vigorous jog!' )

*****

( 'Oi, could I possibly ask your assistance for an horrible idea?' )

*****

( Failure is not an option. )

*****

( Super-strong or not, how many dinosaurs could one person fight before they got overwhelmed? )

Danielle had stopped by the library, keys in hand, and had practically ordered Tabitha out shopping with her, which was very uncharacteristic of her; however, she had been the victim in other peoples shopping expeditions before and felt that saving the new girl might be in order. "Lunch, shopping and sanity?" she offered, jingling the keys invitingly. Clad in a simple pair of jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt, a worn beige jacket over one arm, and her hair in two long braids, she was ready to get out.
( Rescue me! )

Times Square. Entertainment center of the universe. Where else would you expect carnivorous tourists to head for?

( You're going to get as many people out of here as you can and I'm going to...stop the dinosaurs. Uh...somehow. )

Giant bugs. They're not just for the jungle anymore. Somehow, a can of Raid ain't going to cut it.

( Since when did the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj open? )

When besieged by a superior force, Thermopylae was held by 300 Spartans. The Queensboro Bridge gets... two.

( Cutting 'em in half don't count for two! )

And batting cleanup...

( It would seem rather bizarre to him afterwards that he could handle ghosts from the future and the concept of demons, but not dinosaurs. )

In the middle of Manhattan, 2007 meets 200 million BC.

Julio and Scott wind up stuck in a traffic jam, and are the first of many to encounter Manhattan's newest tourists. The thirty-foot-tall carnivorous type. And to make matters more interesting, the Black King and Rook of the Hellfire Club put in an appearance.

( 'I say, Sebastian. This reminds me of that safari we took in Kenya!' )

Some people you just do not mess with before their morning coffee. No matter how many sharp teeth you have.

( 'For the sake of my sanity, I am going to pretend that that didn't just happen, and that my life is not yet so completely fucking absurd that I'm having to kill Spielberg's leftover special effects just to get some fucking breakfast.' )

Not everything coming from the distant past is reptilian. Some are large, hooved, and sport some powerful horns. Luckily, someone's willing to play cowboy.

( The hat, of course, went firmly on his head. )

In millennia past, there was no fury greater than that of a dinosaur deprived of its prey. In 2007, it's a woman deprived of her shopping. Now make that multiple women...

( 'Wow. Who would have thought Miss Perfect would have such a nasty right hook?' )

This tape was received at WNYC Studios Saturday afternoon, and has been replayed and transmitted over the internet and various news outlets.

( [A white-haired man sits at a desk, his face blurred by image masking, and his voice distorted.] )

Once the sun rises, everyone gets put to work. Some tasks are a little dirtier than others, but perfect for a workforce that's mostly four feet tall.

( 'Mondo? Why are we digging holes?' )

Elsewhere, the search for fresh water finds more than pond scum and bacteria as environmental hazards.

( 'Did...anyone else see something move?' )

Back at the main camp, Laurie discovers the inevitable visitors that come with being a human bug attractor. Less enjoyable when the bugs are the size of a shoe...

( 'Mud and I have a very long acquaintance.' )

As the day progresses, the group realizes that they'll need something to eat. When in Rome, do as the Romans. When stuck in the Jurassic... make like a predator.

( 'My preference would be towards the eating of people-eating animals over the eating of actual people. It's still only a small part of a balanced diet at best.' )

While everyone else is occupied, Garrison puts his detective skills to use, but finds himself far out of his element.

( 'Forge, I hate to do this to you, but you're on your own.' )

In the middle of Central Park, Phase Two is put into motion

( The people of Earth would see the error of their ways and learn to respect the savagery of Mother Earth's firstborn. )

Before dawn, Marius has his turn on watch. Yvette keeps him company, and with necessity being the mother of invention, an unusual interaction between their powers is discovered.

( You did what you needed to in order to survive. )

In the wee hours of the morning, our prehistoric explorers find themselves suddenly alone in the middle of the jungle - and then suddenly less alone than they would like.

( 'That is -not- people. That does so not sound like people.' )

After the chaos, the chaperones try and figure out a plan of action.

( 'Any giant iguana comes looking for a snack tonight, and he's going to get himself bitchslapped, eh.' )

Current Music: Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction

When the tour group beds down for the night, someone has a call to make.

( Perhaps they should be reminded of the price of progress. )

x-forge.livejournal.com

Friday afternoon, our tour group arrives at the Mesozoic Biofloral Conservatory, and prepares for their tour into the prehistoric jungle.

( 'Tell me everyone here knows the buddy system, right?' )

*****

( The curse was just a joke and besides, what could go wrong in the middle of nowhere surrounded by plants? )

*****

( 'Who's up for some science?' )

Current Music: Baltimora - Tarzan Boy

While taking a day in New York, Pietro runs into his old college roommate, and manages to catch up on old times without ever actually mentioning what he does now or has been doing the past few years.

( A teacher, eh? I fear for the next generation. )
