I flew over the head of a robotic Brontosaurus named Piper and landed by a nest of robotic eggs and waited. Soon, a robotic Ophasaurus came right by my side. Her beautiful sail on her head glimmered in the sunlight. She gently tapped my wing with her head.

"I am so glad to see you here. My husband and I are having an argument that we can't solve." Lily stood back up on her two feet and stared at me with sad eyes.

"What is it? We are safe here from the outside world besides predators. Meat eaters gotta eat meat of course. But humans are safe and sound from us." I raised my head to meet hers.

"It's not that. We need to face humans with our children in order to teach them not to harm human beings. Everyone has that problem. All we could teach them is what a human being looks like and that doesn't represent everyone."

"Pictures should be enough. Besides, we haven't seen a human being wander in in ages. What does your husband say?"

"The same thing. How are you?"

I spoke to her about how I discovered another secret organization like us only, instead of French, they spoke English. Spanish too. I communicated with them and had connected them to us. We all wanted the same things despite great hunger. Then I told her the bad news. The rampaging ones were growing in number and getting closer to our hideouts. If we got caught we would turn into rampagers too. Rumors had it a virus was causing it. No one knew where many infected people went. There were also rumors of a Velociraptor out there that never went on a rampage or harmed a human or pet out there, lost somewhere. It had a powerful antivirus protecting it from going out of control. If they could possess what it possessed then they would be safer yet.

"A dream come true. I hope that Velociraptor succeeds in wiping out the rampagers. There seems to be one connection to them all. Sad thing is they have feelings too. Is there no cure?"

"No cure for them yet. I think there is one bad Alpha seeking us out and gathering an army to overtake human beings and make them slaves. It is a crisis that must be stopped. Now, I think your husband is right. And with as many as we are over here, I doubt there would be a cure for all of us."

"Yes our children will grow up flesh eaters. Strangely there is abundant plants and animals. I wish rampagers didn't threaten the lives of human beings and that we didn't have to hide."

"I wish that too. I would rather die instead."

"Only those of us who avoid that strange signal have hope. Some say that Veliceraptor attaches itself to the strange signal and gets attacked by viruses left and right. Yet it remains resistant to all of those viruses. That is amazing."

"I believe we are talking about the same one. And it's Velociraptor. You keep saying it wrong."

They talked for a while longer before her husband came back to the nest. A cracking sound caught all of their attention and they turned to see the eggs hatch. Amazingly enough, they could tell male from female. Lily named them Rose, Lily Jr., Ruby, Joshua, Lucifer, and Gabriel. There were six of them. Two eggs didn't hatch yet. Hidden in the trees a Velociraptor was watching. It didn't dare introduce itself and had to use the translator to understand them. It realized it had gone too far north and was lost.

"I'm going to be a great officer for the National Guard," I said, pulling up my resume.

"How brave your goal is. You passed on entering this section. There is a drill test I would like you to take starting at 5 a.m. on Saturday morning. If you can pass this test then you will be in for the National Guard backup. Work your way through the ranks to become part of the National Guard. May you have luck," Officer Job said.

"Thank you sir. I won't let you down," I said and got up to leave.

"Sir, there is a new lady who wants to ask you some questions. She is interested in applying," a guard said walking through the door.

"Send her in," Officer Job said.

I got out and rushed back home. I needed to practice for the drill test and had only today to do it. Saturday was tomorrow. I got on the wheels and then starting running through them. Then I got onto the bars and whizzed through the bars. Then I did the climbing test. I passed with ease, but of course it was at my house.

The next day I made it to the drill test. There were far more obstacles to pass than compared to my house. The instructor explained the rules and it was all on. My heart pounded and my ears burned. How was I expected to pass? Still, I didn't give up. The moment my turn came, I raced through the tires onto the bars. Then there was some more obstacles I didn't know the name of. Finally, the ladder. I climbed up to the top and hit the finish line. I passed. I just knew it.

"Well done, you passed your first task. Go back and report to Officer Job immediately. I'll send word," the instructor said and patted me on my back.
