Chapter 39 ~Doctor Ruthford Stainly~
The human walked into the room and saw Caesar and Jaxz, he screamed in terror and fell to the ground. He was a thin old man, he was wearing an oil stained apron and he had strange glasses with many different lenses, he had a mess of white hair and was holding a coffee mug, which he dropped. “WHAT- WHO?!” He exclaimed. “Shoo! Get out of here you animals!” He said terrified. “Who are you?!” Caesar asked cautiously. “I’m- uh, wait why can I hear you? Of all the strange things I’ve seen in the cursed place, never thought a talking beast would be one…” the man said standing up. “Hey! Who you calling beast!” Caesar said. “What is he saying?” Jaxz asked. “What is that giant bat thing and why does it keep hissing?!” The man exclaimed. “His name is Jaxz I’m Caesar, who are you?” Caesar asked cautiously. “Oh uh..” the man said composing himself, “my name is Doctor Ruthford Stainly, uh.. pleasure to meet you. Now why are you in my house?!” Stainly said. “Better question what is your drill doing in the volcano?” Caesar asked. Then the gigantopithicus troop burst through the man’s door and pointed their spears at him, all he heard was hooting but what they said were things like: “who’s this runt?” What’s he doin in ‘ere.” And, “Caesar you shouldn’t have come alone, what if he was dangerous, what if he is dangerous..” the last was the Chief. “Oh calm down all of you it’s an old man.” Caesar said. They lowered their spears cautiously. “I’m not old! I’m only 45.” Stainly said. “Wow.. the desert has not been kind to you..” Caesar said. “Hey!” Stainly exclaimed, “why can I understand you?! And why are all these apes in my home!” He said. “I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with this,” Caesar said showing the man his implant. “Ahh, an implant.. how did you get it?” Stainly asked. “Long story..” Caesar said, “guys, give the man some space please.” All the group besides the Chief left the house. Caesar explained everything to Stainly, he could tell the doctor didn’t believe half of it but he listened intently, especially about the magmasaurs. “And that’s why we came here, if we don’t shut down that drill, the magmasaurs are going to destroy the oasis.” Caesar said finishing the story. “Hm I see, well, l can’t help you.” “Why not?!” Caesar exclaimed. The Chief could only hear one side of the conversation but he took Caesar’s tone as a good time to growl. “I can’t help because I can’t turn it off!” Stainly said. “Why not!” Caesar said angrily. “Because! I created the drill to harvest lava. as a sort of endless fuel, unfortunately the drill angered the magmasaurs and they destroyed the entire civilization, and then when the magmasaurs attempted to destroy it they spilled lava everywhere, enticing wyverns to use it as a breeding ground, I’m not going anywhere near those dragons!” Stainly said. Caesar sighed, “can’t catch a break can we..” he mumbled, “if we can handle the Wyverns can you turn it off?” He said. “Well, yes but how would you get rid of them?” Stainly said. “Stealing their hatchlings should do.” Caesar said.
I just had one of the most TERRIFYING ark moments of my life. so, on The Island, I took my argy and flew to the tundra to pick out a second base spot, I was looking around the mountain and saw a giga below me, I got my telescope and kinda circled over it and looked at it for a bit, then suddenly I realized my argy was flying down... it ran out of stamina and at that moment I was like: “sh_t were gonna fricking die.” I legit thought me and my precious argy were going to die because it crossed RIGHT BELOW US as we were going down and we TOUCHED. IT. once we landed I kinda stood there waiting for the stamina bar to go up and I must have been blessed or something because I got the hell out of there the moment I could see the stamina going up. The giga didn’t notice me, it was busy killing mammoths. THANK GOD. I’m still shaking... I got close enough that I could see the Dododex button.
I died My griffin right next to giga. My stone structures next to giga. Giga’s Brain: I rather eat stone than griffin. I get my stuff that’s right near giga. Back away. Tamed it while eating stone. SUCCESS. Now I have a lvl 170 giga that murders everything and my griffin still alive. Thanks to gigas Favoring stone over food
A level 28 giga spawned close to where I lived and I was really worried it would have destroyed all my games and everything I build. So like an idiot I took my quetzal, grappled it and drained 1000 bullets from my assault rifle into the giga only to take away half its health. But if you hurt it bad and it can’t reach you it will eventually run. Try to drive it out to sea and make sure it’s focused on you. It won’t realize that it’s health is being drained by megs and like that your house and tames are safe.
