SYNOPSIS
Peter walks the plank, the Cybosaurs attack each other and Gunner Ben sinks Atlantis Base.

FIRSTS & LASTS
First work on Flesh by Carlos Pino and Steve Potter.

INFORMATION
Faults to the Cybosaur control system can spread like a chain reaction.

CLAW CARVER
He believes Peters dead and assign Gunner Ben to a Hunter-Killer Submarine to shoot Nothosaurs.

OTHER CHARACTERS
PETERS
He was forced to walk the plank. A Pterosaur attack provided a distraction and he climbed underneath the plank.

BIG HUNGRY
He attacks a Cybosaur and damages the controls. It turns on the other Cybosaurs and somehow this causes a chain reaction leaving all of them free of Trans-Time control.

GUNNER BEN
He is assigned to a Hunter-Killer Submarine to shoot Nothosaurs. Instead he fires multiple torpedoes at Atlantis Base itself causing it to sink.

DEATHS
Probably hundreds. A Cybosaur kills the Trans-Time employee in the Cybosaur testing room. Potentially hundreds more drown as Atlantis Station sinks.

BEST LINES
Gunner Ben: "Yahoooo! I'm gonna get me some target practice!"

WORST LINES
Carver: "What the devil..? The whole rig's moving! I gotta get out of here - save myself if I can!"

One of the Trans-Time employees exclaims "Drokk!"
