Plot Development

[savannah]

I agree with everyone about off-world missions, they should wait. But when the time came, how would it be if the Animorphs had to save two (three? eight? a dozen?) people from the Skrit Na zoo? It could be a bunch of Animorphs picked from each city, or all them, or just Animorphs from a certain city launched off to space.

There would be complications and probably battles, since I'm assuming the Skrit Na wouldn't want to negotiate with humans. Possibly one of the prisoners who had gotten close to one of the Animorphs would die in result or something and the Animorph would devastated.

Whaddya think?

Mind you, this is only a raw idea, I haven't thought about if much yet. It was something that just popped into my mind and needs a lot of developing.

A trip to an alien zoo sounds kid of fun. We'll have to keep this one in mind for when the time is right.

Sario Rip as a sitewide type thing. All have gathered to try and and fix something that requires massive manpower, stopping a group with stolen nuclear weaponry who are threatening to detonate. Unfortunately the bombs go off.

Possibility 1: Backward, landing circa the last ice age. Need to find some manner of recreating a sufficiently powerful explosion to tear space time and send them home. Also have to survive against critters that make elephants look tiny. (I'm looking at you giant ground sloth)

Possibility 2: Forwards, very very forwards until immediately prior to the re-eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano... To put that in perspective the Oruanei eruption killed 60% of the human race on earth and started an ice age. This was 26k years ago. Meet and greet with future earth who have thoroughly ruined the planet by working to stop all weather that is 'harmful' or 'unwanted'. Guess who gets to destroy weather manipulation machinery.

Each group could form its own RP, overlapping at times to keep it manageable, perhaps two or three per city if necessary. The first would also allow, possibly, the aquiring of some fun morphs for people.

Oo la la. A Sario Rip. Nice. I've no problem with doing either of the two options. I just have some suggestions.

Need to find some manner of recreating a sufficiently powerful explosion to tear space time and send them home.

Maybe...there could be another alien race that lived on Earth? Like the Mercora and the other race did in the Megamorphs? Unless they could find a way to make some gunpowder or something.

Meet and greet with future earth who have thoroughly ruined the planet by working to stop all weather that is 'harmful' or 'unwanted'.

So, you're saying that everyone would go back in time to meet people from our future who are manipulating weather in the future or in the past? I'm kind of confused.


I like this idea, though. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

No, I was saying that we would go forwards in time for the second one, no backwards travel at all. Like I said in the chat rant, maybe the force that has a habit of forcing Sario Rips to momentous points in history would see fit to shove us forward in time.

And it would take serious amounts of gunpowder to do this type of thing... though we could probably bully our resident andalite into helping with fission weapons. Tell him he's fixing a children's toy.

Alien species could work too... *glances at Stargate universe and wonders*
