MAD PALEONTOLOGY PLOT SUMMARY
A few days ago, Ray came into the Bar from an exceptionally hot, exceptionally over-booked New York City summer afternoon. It seems that his trip to the Natural History Museum was cut short by power fluctuations, and the city was struck by a large-scale blackout shortly after he stepped outside. He was well on his way home when the news came through from Janine: there were prehistoric creatures rampaging through Central Park and down the West Side Highway.
The Ghostbusters generally deal with ghosts, not swarms of creatures that would make your average white rhino look like a large (if somewhat dim) family dog, so Ray did what anyone with the survival instincts of an eggplant or better would do. He came to Milliways for help- and he got it.
Alex West went with the few available mobile members of the NYPD to fight off the waves of creatures going after the crowd that had been assembled in Central Park to hear the Dalai Lama speak. On the other side of the park, Optimus Prime lent a hand, and a sword, with getting the titanothere menace under control.
The rest of the creatures were on their way southward; a pack of Smilodon populator, aka the Really Big And Really Nasty Saber-Toothed Cat Species, decided to look for a meal or eight in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Mel Fray, quite understandably, took exception to this. Lots of exception. Violent exception. So did the Winchester brothers, who made it to the New York Waterway ferry terminal at 42nd Street in time to prevent a full-grown Megistotherium- one of the largest mammalian predators ever to live- from chowing down on the people who were trying to leave Manhattan Island by boat. Most of the rest of the traveling creatures were either giant predators such as Andrewsarchus and Sarkastodon, or walking siege engines like Uintatherium and a whole herd of aurochs. Stitch, Spoon, Tavi of Calderon, Cre’hktdi, and Ray caught up with them on the West Side Highway and took out the flesh-eating portion of the contingent. They also caught the attention of the person responsible- Dr. Mary Mezga of the Museum of Natural History, riding an eighteen-foot-tall hornless rhino (an Indricotherium named Belle). It seems Dr. Mezga’s motives for all of this were not of the world domination variety, but something rather simpler and more petty, and that they would unfold at Chelsea Piers, twenty blocks to the south. . .
And unfold they did. Along with something else entirely, so to speak. At the end of it, Dr. Mezga was in police custody and her plan was appropriately foiled; there’ll be consequences, of course, but for now? For now it’s good.
I’d like to thank everybody who joined in on this plot. It was an absolute blast to run and you guys have all been brilliant RPers. Thank you so much!
