Spike nodded his head and turned to walk away. Something stopped him however as he peered around Vel and watched something run past the Stegosaur pen. He frowned as whatever it was stopped and reversed back to look at Spike... or so he thought.
"Vel!" Loren yelled out, seeing him talking to another one of the dinoriders. She tried to catch her breath. "The poke bush... You have to destroy all the roots! The roots are... fatal if eaten." She took a deep breath and then fell over, passed out across the ground in front of the door to the stegosaurs' pen.

He turned to Loren when she yelled out and once she passed out on the ground he turned back to Spike.
"You heard her Spike. Even the roots have to be destroyed alright. Your new friends depend on that. Keep up the good job."
He sighed and turned away, walking towards the now unconcious Loren. Once he was at her side, he picked her up, cradled her in his arms, and carried her to the Triceratops area. He walked out to Cera.
"Cera, you're going to have to destroy the roots as well of those plants. It's the roots that are fatal."
Cera nodded before Vel ran off with Loren in his arms. He couldn't go full speed but he had enough strength to get her back to the Raptor pen. He laid her down against the outside wall of the pen. He didn't trust the raptors enough to leave her alone if he took her inside.

Loren squeezed her eyes shut as she dreamed of when she learned that her father had been killed during one of his digs. She sighed, half asleep and wanted to go back to sleep, but found she couldn't. There was too much silence.
"Ugh..." She groaned, leaning over quickly and cradling her head in her hands. "My head's killing me.... Oh no! Did Vel hear me?!" She gasped, looking around. By the looks of it, he had and he'd also brought her to the door of the raptors' pen. She smiled softly and stood, brushing her pants off mildly.

Vel walked out of the raptor pen with his arms full of the poisonous plants. He then walked over to the side of the pen and saw Loren awake.
"You shouldn't push yourself so hard. Either you could have gotten run over while laying there or the compys would eat you." he replied with his usual expression of coldness.

Loren smiled brightly, but shook her head. She walked over and offered to help him carry some of his armful.
"Well... I'm more worried about the dinosaurs then myself right now... I need to get back to the station and let Hector and the other rangers know that lots of fluid will get rid of the toxin after a few days."

Vel set the plants down in a rocky spot of the velociraptor paddock.
"I'll burn them later." he approached her. "I'll take you to the ranger station, that is, if you're up for another ride. You didn't seem to mind the last one."

Loren looked down sheepishly and shrugged.
"Well... I wouldn't mind, but I was unconscious for the last one, so..." She reminded him.
"Sure. Um, am I riding on your back or are you carrying me?" She blinked.

"I'll carry you." his tail swished behind him. It was long and muscular and he knew how to use it. He was going to use it as balance while he carried her and ran at high speed.
He approached her and scooped her up into his arms. His reptilian face turned down towards her and blinked as he stared.
"Ready?" he asked her.

Loren squeaked as he grabbed her up, but she smiled up at him. She looked at him closely. To normal humans - stressing normal - he would have looked terrifying. But to Loren he looked okay, he might be a little rude but he was nice when he wanted to be.
"I'm ready." She nodded with a determined look.

With that he shot off with her in his arms. He couldn't quite reach cheetah speed but he could still run faster than a horse.
"Hold on tight." he spoke to her as he ran.
It didn't take him long to reach the closest ranger station. The island was only a few miles wide to begin with. He stopped in the front of the building and set her down. After that he walked up to the building and opened the door. It was rare that he ever had to come here so he imagined that the rangers were surprised to see him.

Several rangers dropped the things in their hands. Hector chuckled and back up slightly when Loren rushed up to him. "Please, give the dinosaurs lots of fluids. It'll flush the toxins out."
The ranger nodded and sent some of the other out to do just that. Loren sighed and plopped down on a stool. She smiled up at Vel. "Thank you. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you."
"I should help find more of those plants..." She murmured, standing up.

"I have Cera and Spike working on finding the plants in their areas." he replied to Loren. "The raptors and I shall make sure our area is clear of the plants."
He turned to Hector.
"I forgot to inform Ty and Avia. If you could inform them Hector I might actually thank you."
The raptor/human hybrid gave a reptilian smirk. To any human this would seem plain creepy or they would think he was choosing how to eat them.

Hector rolled his eyes, used to the attitude that Vel gave all the humans. "Yeah. I'll let them know. You just get back to work."
Loren stood and frowned. "Um, wait... Take me with you, I can at least get the bushes outside of the pens." She stated. "You will already have enough on your plates getting the plants inside."

Vel walked back outside.
"Will do Hector. Take good care of the new girl. She was the one who identified the plant in the first place." he spoke.
With that he rushed back to raptor pen to begin the search for the poisonous plants.

Loren jumped up and rushed out after him.
"Hey! I was talking to you!" She called after Vel. She ran after him, knowing she wouldn't catch up with him. She continued on though, until she got distracted by something.
"... What?" She questioned. She almost gripped the fence, but knew she couldn't unless she wanted to be shocked. She gasped at the site she saw. "Help! Someone help!" She cried out. "There's another dinosaur sick! Please, she's in the triceratops' pen!!!!!"

Vel had made his way back to the raptor pen. He walked inside and immediately was greeted by the raptors. He began speaking in their language.
"If you don't mind I'd like to do one more sweep of the pen to make sure there are no more of those poisonous plants, if you would be gracious enough to help."
With that the raptors spread out throughout the pen and let Vel search the center.

Loren looked around for the door to the pen. There was no telling how long that triceratops had been laying there like that. She didn't need to go to sleep. Loren bit on her bottom lip as she thought of what to do.
She reached down suddenly and started yelling over the radio. "Please, someone help! There is a triceratops sick and I can't get to her! Please send help!" She called, knowing that everyone on the island had one.

A voice crackled over the radio.
"I'll be over as fast as I can."
Vel and the raptors had completed the sweep of their pen. He had heard the radio and walked out of the pen. He closed the door before the raptors could get out.
"Keep radio contact with me constantly doctor. There are some dinosaurs left loose in the park that aren't completely harmless."
He held onto the radio in his hand as he took off.

"Okay!" Loren called over the radio. Relief washed over her and she sighed once more.
"Vel, I don't understand how she couldn't have been found by now.... But she's so very sick and I can't get to her..." Loren frowned, turning to the dinosaur behind the fence.
"There are poke bushes all around her, it looks like she's eaten a lot of them..."

Vel had run at full speed for a few miles. He stopped when he ran up to her. He pulled a set of keys out of his pocket. He knew just which one to use since he had just used them to visit Cera earlier today. He never thought that so many things could happen in one day. First they get a new doctor, then all of this poke bush poison outbreak.
"Stay close." he glanced at her before walking ahead towards the downed animal.
