Steelslaughter here,

Just today, I was on a mining run at the central volcano and my quetzal was near completely encumbered from the metal, so I was just slow as heck. I tried to whistle follow but it she was just too slow and heavy. I told her to rest so I can eat when lo and behold, there was a diplo egg in the open. Without hesitation, I made it a snack for my long way home. Then I rode my quetzal downhill south when the mother of my meal nudged us forward, accelerating our current speed for a short time before repeating a few more times. Then after a raptor pack halted her progress, it was just the two of us out of there. We proceeded home, very much grateful for the actions a mostly-useless creature provided for our long journey home, as even in the wild they have at least two good used: burst propulsion regardless of weight, and danger- bait.

Thank the ARK gods for this unexpected boost to the conquest of the island,

And to you guys, tell your stories

and keep surviving!

Steelslaughter out.
