Introduction:

Codename: Megadon

In 1990, a secret government organization was founded. This sub-division was known as BeGran. BeGran soon became a small forgotten division, among many others, but none the less, the government still gave them what they asked, not bothering to care about what BeGran did with the resources.

By 1991 the division had at least five hundred tons of titanium, iron, silicon, and many other metals, as well as at least a hundred tons of computer chips, (rare and common) wires, and even video game cartridges. The government still didn't know what BeGran was up to and it didn't bother to find out.

In 1993 BeGran asked for cloning devices, huge computer monitors, fifty cameras, and five thousand motion sensors. It was not until now that the government had become suspicious this divisions intentions. The government handed this equipment over this equipment but decided to keep an eye on BeGran.

This kept up until 1998 and finally BeGran came to hold a conference with the other members of the government. On that conference five members of BeGran explained their impossible plan to the government.

The five members were Dr. Gemar, Dr. Winzaton, Mr. Hedgar, Mr. Mancol, and Mr. Japlon. Dr. Wezen Gemar was an older man in his sixties. He had a grey mustache, a bald head, wore sunglasses, and always carried around a bottle of beer.

Dr. Ivan Winzaton was much younger, probably in his forties and had jet-black hair. He didn't have any facial hair, had goggles on his head, and wore normal clothes instead of the traditional scientist lab coat.

Mr. Regan Hedgar was more of a business man, but still had a kind heart. This man had a short beard sort of and look to be in his fifties. He had blondish-silver hair, and had white skin.

Mr. Nero Mancol was a colored man, probably in his early forties. He carried around a sketchpad everywhere. Mancol had green eyes, black hair, and a nice smile.

Finally, Mr. Himo Japlon was the leader of the group and looked very triumphant. He was probably in his mid-sixties and had sunglasses on. Also he held a staff in his hand which had a diamond on the tip of it. Japlon had silver hair and a big grin on his face.

Now that the government people had been gathered together Japlon began to explain. "Dear members of the government," he began smiling, "We at BeGran know that you have become suspicious of our actions, so we wish to finally reveal our plans to you. Allow me first to introduce our members. Here we have Dr. Wezen Gemar, our

top scientist who drinks a lot of beer. Next we have our second important scientist, Dr Ivan Wingzaton. Third we have our supporter for BeGran, Mr. Regan Hedgar. Finally, we have our top sketcher Mr. Nero Mancol."

After Japlon had said this each member step forward after hearing their name called and either waved or bowed. Then Japlon started talking again. "BeGran now wishes to tell you what we have been working on. We have been making, wanting to make, and have started making a space station a quarter the size of the moon with over four major earth environments." At this statement a commotion started up in the room and Japlon continued, "We have also been making artificial, robotic, animals. The purpose of this craft would be for if the earth was ever in trouble the people could go to the space station and animals would already be there so it would be like earth. The animals act and taste like real animals."

Now uproar started. After a few minutes the talking subsided and one member of the government asked, "What would this be called?" Japlon immediately replied, "Megadon is what it would be called Jeremy. We wish for the government to give us what we need to make this craft. Now we shall show you the blueprints for an animal we have been working on."

At that moment Mancol got up and held up a large sheet of paper for everyone to see. Then he placed the picture on a projector and everyone could see it clearer. The image was of a juvenile dinosaur with a crocodile like snout and was labeled Baryonyx with some writing off to the side.

Immediately you could hear everyone murmuring. "Well, will you agree to give us the things we need for this? Whoever would agree to this raise your hand now please." Japlon told them after a while. The audience was silent for a couple of minutes and Japlon started to frown. Then one person raised their hand, then another, and another. A grin immediately broke out on Japlon's face as nearly everybody raised their hands. "Then it is agreed, be sure to give us what we need."

Over the next few years the government gave BeGran all the equipment that they asked for. They needed all sorts of supercomputers, video game cartridges, and all sorts of metal. No one heard from Japlon and his crew again until 2004 when they launched the space station.

Prologue:

Paradise or an Accident?

Sheep, sheep everywhere and not a living thing in sight other than one human being resting under a tree watching the sheep run by in flocks across the meadow. Of course the sheep were all robots, but he didn't mind, it was as close to paradise as he thought he was ever going to get. Everything was nice and peaceful, except when a wild, badly-programmed animal got loose from another region and attacked, and that didn't happen very often. Even when it did it was always either destroyed or captured and reprogrammed.

Yep, everything was peaceful for Mordok Feckle, who was now on vacation in the space station, Megadon. He now owned a house on the surface of the space station in the forest/ suburban region. They had managed to grow grass and even build houses in the space station as well as grow trees, make snowy, artic mountains, build lakes, and much, much more. The surface of the space station contained four major regions: forest, desert, jungle, and artic.

The forest area of the space station was where everyone lived. The animals that lived in this region consisted of sheep, dogs, bears, raccoons, and various birds. It was always very peaceful to rest there, in your house, reading a book after a long day of work in the space station.

In the desert is where cacti grew and where scorpions lived. Not very many people went there because air was usually too dry and made you cough.

Luckily, the jungle region was much more pleasant and had a variety of delicious nut and fruits. You had to make sure you didn't run into a lion or a tiger though, they weren't usually friendly. Sometimes monkeys threw things at you, but if you avoided all of these problems the jungle could be just as good as the forest.

The artic would probably be what you would consider a sub-zero desert, but luckily you could kill the robot animals there and eat them. In the desert it would be hard to kill something as small as a scorpion, and even if you got one it would hardly be a meal. Anyways, the artic consisted of playful penguins that could throw snowballs, wolves that were most of the time friendly, walruses, and seals.

The space station had its own machines the made clouds and a blue sky in the day and switched to black at night. In the center of the space station was a tall pillar that was about a hundred feet round and if you could get into it you would be able to enter the elevator and go below the surface where all the scientists worked constantly. Also, to keep the air in, the space station was covered halfway with glass making it look like a giant snow globe, without the snow.

Mordok was one of the personnel of the space station who made sure that the
animals ran efficiently, without any flaws, but now he had earned himself a vacation,
finally! The most recent accident was when one of the Baryonyx had gotten loose and bitten one of the scientists' legs off. Luckily a squadron of bomb-birds had gotten there in time to destroy the dinosaur and rescue the scientist from impending doom. They had been very careful about how many Baryonyx they had made.

The supercomputer controlled all of the actions the animals would make, but sometimes the computer had too much to do and ignored what an animal did and let the animal control itself. That wasn't usually a problem, except when the animal realized it could control itself, which didn't take long, but the computer usually got back to that animal in a nanosecond.

Then there was the one episode where the compys had gotten loose in the labs and attacked some of the scientists. Those tiny dinosaurs could cause a lot of destruction, who knew? Dr. Winzaton, that's who! The designer of the original robot compies, who hand-made them all, before they made the reproduction system in the space station. Luckily they got everyone out before any major damage started, then they ran the compys back into their region. The only serious damage was that one of the scientists, Richard Bronze, had to be rushed to the emergency room.

And now Mordok was taking a break, on the very space station he helped to make! His next-door neighbor in the station was an elderly scientist the age of seventy-two and who always had a beer bottle at hand, Dr. Wezen Gemar. He was the scientist that made sure that the animals ran efficiently and he created most of the animals.

Gemar was now on vacation also and used to work with a teenage girl called Linda Carver. They had both made sure that the animals ran alright, but after she saw the compys tearing one of the personnel apart and eating him she quit. She blamed herself for not keeping the animals under control, but who could control those darn compys? Luckily, she didn't stick around to see one of the full grown Baryonyx eat a person in one gulp. That dinosaur was immediately destroyed and they were careful reproducing the dinosaurs from then on out. Now Linda worked for that one company, what was it called, GEMZ? Either way she quit and was crying about what happened when she quit.

Not very many people had died aboard the space station, so death wasn't that big of a deal; to Mordok it just looked like they had just created another earth with the same animals, only the animals here had metal skeletons. The animals did the exact same thing as their living counterparts, breath, drink, eat, die, and reproduce. Oh yes, they reproduced, but in a strange way, a way that involved the supercomputer. They had also made some of the animals dumber or smarter which sometimes caused problems.

Now Mordok had gotten up and started walking toward his house as sheep ran and jumped past him. He also saw out of the corner of his eye Gemar come out of his house and wave in his direction. The dogs ran around and chased sheep sometimes, scaring herds into pens and then locking them in with an electric fence. They had defiantly made the sheep smarter, because regular sheep would just keep eating, and eating, and eating the grass until they hit dirt, and sometimes they would even eat the dirt because they were so dumb that they thought they were still eating grass. So there would be a huge patch of dirt, or a big hole in the ground where a heard of sheep habeen.

Good thing they had made the sheep smarter, now they moved around when they ate instead of just eating till there was no more grass. Mordok entered his house and looked at his surroundings. His bed was lying in a corner of the room; next to it was a TV with a floating chair in front of it. In another room of to the right was the kitchen and upstairs was a laundry shoot with a closet where his clothes were and a computer room was down the hall from it. The first floor's ceiling was about twelve feet high and the room was painted bluish, green.

On the surface of Megadon it seemed nice and peaceful, but deeper, below the surface was where all the scientists worked whether they are tired or not. That was where all the animals were created and studied after they had ceased to function and shut down.

Their skeletal systems looked usually like a regular animal skeleton except that they were made out of metal instead of bone. The muscles were made of a special kind of tissue, made out of tiny microorganisms. Their blood was made out of special liquids.

Soon there would be the first group of tourists arriving on the station, of course, Japlon had decided to only show the nice side of things there, not the dark side. Not the danger of mingling with some of the animals, not the deaths of the members aboard the station, and of course not all of the failures they had with the supercomputer. Hopefully that upgrade for the computer would be coming soon. It would then be able to handle many more actions that the animals performed, it would be perfect, and no one would ever try to shut the station down.

Mordok had finally been able to log onto his computer and view the progress of the region he was in; the woods. The screen looked like this:

house o trees s sheep herds D dogs B bears / passage or doorway

D oooooooo B

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Well, the bears were in the forest still, the sheep were scattered all over the region, and the dogs were scattered also. Everything was fine, the animals were in the right spaces and nothing was out of place, for now. Sometimes the animals had gotten mixed; sheep and dogs were attacked by bears sometimes, but no major damage. They had dozens of animals aboard the station attacking each other, so the scientists, in their infinite wisdom, would always send bomb-birds to drop bombs on the animals instead of just separating them.

Then a box flashed onto the computer screen saying: Warning! Fire-Raptor escaped, need backup!- Johnson

That's bad, he thought, if those things got to the surface they would go about destroying any and everything. The Fire-Raptors was basically a velociraptor (A vicious and deadly dinosaur) combined with a flamethrower. Mordok didn't know why they had created those vicious creatures. They were monsters. Just then another box came up saying: Ignore other message, it is under control.- Japlon

"Japlon," he whispered. He hated that Japlon was their boss, but at least he wasn't all business and money. He had a little heart for his employees.

Finally, another box came up that said: Seven workers dead, Fire-Raptor captured.

-Supercomputer

"Uh oh," Mordok said and ran out the door, towards the nearest elevator.
