Nothronychus

This is from my memory so yea

This was made a month (or should i say a year ago)

Hey, it’s me again. If you remember from my last post, apparently my dad worked on a project called “Operation Sisyphus.” I don’t know much about it. He disappeared and left a coded message saying something about an “Ebony class event” and that “They had been too loud” or something along those lines.

I don’t know what all that means, which is why I am currently inside the Tartarus Industries building. I've come here to hopefully find out what happened. Since this whole thing started, the building has been abandoned, so I don’t have to worry about security. Also, schools are out so I don’t have to worry about that. And yes, where I am (Japan) society is still functioning.

I told my mom that I'm going to be working at the food bank, (which I will be doing after I find out what all this is about.) but first I need to find out what this “Operation Sisyphus” was about. There is one thing I have found out about. “Sisyphus” was a person in Greek mythology who was sent to Tartarus after working against the gods. I don’t know if that's symbolism for anything, but yeah.

Another thing, the JSDF (Japanese self defense forces, since Japan is not allowed to have a formal military after world war two) has already been mobilized, since Hokkaido was captured (The only region of Japan to have ever been captured yet, since we are an island nation) but i've been noticing more activity. Just today, i've had six fighter jets fly over my house, and already an entire convoy of tanks drove past our neighborhood.

Anyways, it took me around 30 minutes to bike here since our only car disappeared with my dad, since he probably took it to god knows where. I went through a boarded window. There wasn't much in the room where I came in. I think it was just an office.

I looked to see if there was any stuff related to project Sisyphus. There was nothing in that room so I continued. There were a few hallways, so I decided to check each room out. Plus, I had plenty of time. There was a big ass power room which I guess supplied power to the rest of the building. Although, this was all turned off because the bulding had been abandoned, so everything was pitch black. Good thing I brought a flash light though. There were a few lights left on though.

I found another room which was to do with trying to create a viable nuclear fusion reactor. I don’t know if they succeeded in it but it looked impressive from what I saw. I did find one thing about operation Sisyphus in here, though. Apparently, they needed this thing to work to have operation Sisyphus to be able to work for a long duration of time, they had only gotten Operation Sisyphus to work for a short period of time. This room is called “Operation Hephaestus.” I next looked in another room which had the cafeteria in it. Nothing was in there.

There was another room, “Operation Apollo '', which was something to do with space exploration. There were a few experimental rockets but not much else. Also, it did mention in the files that this project was the cause of those big spacecraft that evacuated a ton of people a while ago. Nothing to do with Sisyphus there, though. A few other boring rooms, the only weird thing I found in them was one where I guess they were growing superfoods in a project that I think was made to hopefully solve world hunger. The weird thing was that it looked like a few bites had been taken out of the stuff that was growing in there. For example, there was a tomato the size of a pumpkin that was half gone. It was really weird.

(For some reason, this image came out really weirdly. I don't know why. Sorry about that.)

Then, I finally found it. The room for operation sisyphus. It was a room maybe the size of a school auditorium. (Keep in mind, the entire tartarus industries building was fucking massive)

In the center there was a massive circular console surrounding something that looked like something out of a sci-fi or anime or something. I don’t even know how to describe what it looks like. And no, I can't take a picture of it. There's something in this room that's blocking any pictures from being taken, whenever I try to, the camera glitches out. There’s also a bunch of tables with a ton of files and stuff. I’m taking as much as I can, but a lot of stuff in these files is redacted.

When I got to the back of the room I started smelling something awful and oh god, I wish I hadn't looked. There were a bunch of human corpses strewn about. All of these were either scientists or armed security. Some had riot shields and machine guns. All of them had massive claw marks running up and down their bodies. I found something even more worrying than this though in the very back of the room. A giant metal cage that was broken. Something had broken in, or broken out of this cage. I turned back to the weird sci-fi machine thing after almost puking.

I noticed some more stuff. A pile of ash on the floor. This pile of ash was surrounded by a ton of files. I think they were trying to get rid of evidence of what happened in that room by burning files? I’m not sure. There was also a paper shredder which had been used, plus claw marks on the walls. Something definitely broke out, I don’t know what it was though. Whatever it was, it was probably neutralized by police or JSDF forces, I don't know.

I’m trying to look through the few files that are still there, to see if there is anything.

This is the first Therizinosaur I've drawn since October of last year! The last one I drew was this cartoony looking Therizinosaurus

Next, I'll draw Tarbosaurus.

Synopsis: In Michigan, a laboratory has genetically engineered new races of dinosaurs from fusing chickens with the DNA of alligators, peafowl, ostriches, hyenas and Komodo dragons, recreating Oviraptors, Achillobators, Deinonychuses, Velociraptors, Utahraptors, Citipatis, Nothronychuses, Yutyrannuses, and many others, and planned to use the dinosaurs as attack “dogs”. The dinosaurs escaped and started fighting for survival in the forests near the town of Royal Woods. The scientists tried capturing the dinosaurs, but the creatures eluded their attempts, and in a catastrophic incident, the corrupt scientists caused an accident that took the lives of multiple of the town’s kids and teens, including 17-year-old Roberto “Bobby” Santiago and his 11-year-old younger sister Ronalda Anne “Ronnie Anne” Santiago, while trying to recapture a rouge Yutyrannus (which escaped anyway), right in front of Lori Loud and Lincoln Loud (Bobby’s Girlfriend and Ronnie Anne’s Boyfriend respectively). The two traumatised siblings, who have nine other sisters and both parents alive and together, vow revenge on the scientists, and find some unlikely allies in the form of some dinosaurs who become their Guardian Dinosaurs, who share a bond with the kids and protect them from both dinosaurian and other threats!

Rules of the RP: One, adults and teen characters may cuss a bit, but characters who are still children will not. 2: The dinosaurs will all be accurately feathered theropods. 3: The dinosaurs will exhibit speculative bird-like behaviours, including mating dances, pecking, and even mimicry of other animals! 4: May Be Blood in the Death scene that started everything off (that killed some people like Bobby and Ronnie Anne) and some graphic fight scenes.

Human main characters:

Lincoln Loud: An eleven year old boy with freckles and unusual naturally white hair (inherited from his grandfather Albert) and the middle child and only boy among 10 (yes, TEN) sisters, Lincoln is a video-game and comic book fan who wears an orange short-sleeved polo shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers with red lines, he was severely devastated when Ronnie Anne Santiago (his same aged girlfriend and Bobby’s younger sister) was fatally injured and said her last words to him before dying, but he is slowly but steadily recovering thanks to his faithful sisters and parents, plus his BFF Clyde McBride.

Lori Loud: The oldest child of the Loud Family at seventeen years of age, Lori is a blonde haired young woman with Pearl earrings, blue eye-shadow, a blue tank top, brown cargo shorts, and blue flats. She loves using her cellphone, driving (because, so far, she is the only child in her family with a driver’s license), and playing golf. She, like her brother Lincoln, is also recovering from the deaths of the Santiagos (especially since her boyfriend Bobby was the older of the two Santiagos who both died in the incident), and she and Lincoln are recovering slowly but surely with the help of her siblings, parents, and even Clyde (who once had a crush on her, but stopped crushing on her after seeing her miserable, and realised that she truly loved Bobby.

Leni Loud: A sixteen-year-old air headed but friendly and kind-hearted fashionista with blonde hair, white sunglasses, a green dress, and flip-flops.

Luna Loud: Fifteen years old, with brown hair in a pixie cut, freckles on her face, purple eye shadow, black bracelets and earrings, a purple sleeveless shirt with a skull on it, a silver skirt, and purple boots. She is a rock and roll fan and has a purple axe guitar. Luna is in love with Samantha Sharp.

Luan is a comedian who loves telling jokes, playing pranks and saying puns, and owns Mr Coconut, a ventriloquist’s dummy. She loves April Fools Day.

Lynn Loud Junior: This brown haired thirteen-year-old with freckles and a ponytail is an athletic sports fan who loves all manner of sports including football, rugby, and tennis, among others! She wears a white and red sports jersey with a number one on it, red and white shorts, white socks, and football shoes.

Lucy Loud: Despite being an eight-year-old, Lucy has a gothic attire, and attitude to match. She loves poetry, and has long black hair. She wears a black outfit and black shoes, fitting her gothic style. She owns a pet bat named Fangs. (Charles the dog, Cliff the cat, Geo the hamster and Walter the canary are not the only pets of their family.)

Lola, on the other hair, is a beauty pageant champion who wears her hair straight, and wears a pink dress and a tiara like a Princess!

Lisa Loud: One of the most unusual of the siblings, she’s still FOUR years of age, and yet she is a genius and an extreme child prodigy who has a laboratory in the house and a PHD, Lisa has brown hair and wears glasses, a green sweater, dark red-pink pants, and brown shoes. Lisa loves science, experimenting on things, and making brilliant inventions.

Lily Loud: A diaper wearing kid and the baby of the family at just over one year old. Lily has blonde hair and is starting to wear a pink t shirt and pants. Lily is unusually intelligent and perceptive for her extreme youth.

Clyde McBride: An eleven year old African American boy with glasses, freckles, black hair in an Afro, a yellow and blue striped shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. Clyde is Lincoln’s best friend and shares many common interests with him. Clyde is raised by two fathers named Howard and Harold.

Since then, they have started grief recovery meetings and secretly desire revenge on the scientists for taking their beloved children away from them.

Dinosaurs:

Oviraptor

Alphonse is Lincoln’s Guardian Dinosaur with white feathers like Lincoln’s white hair.

Otto is another Oviraptor who has blue feathers and lives wild in Royal Woods Park.

Rusty is a female Oviraptor who lives in the forest.

Pecker also lives wild. His blue-green feathers come from his peacock DNA.

Velociraptor

Vicious is Lori’s Guardian Dinosaur and her feathers are blonde like Lori’s hair.

Vicky lives wild and has Turkey Vulture DNA, giving her the colouration of said bird.

Vanessa, Lynn Junior’s Guardian Dinosaur, has Scarlet Macaw DNA, as her colourful feathers will tell you, and is as athletic as Lynn herself.

Viper has a venomous bite from his Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake DNA, and his feathers are brown.

Valerie is a black-feathered female who is Lucy’s Guardian Dinosaur. She prefers to hang out with Lucy more than anyone else.

Utahraptor

Axe is Luna’s Guardian Dinosaur and he has purple feathers like Luna’s guitar and shirt.

Streak is Sam Sharp’s Guardian Dinosaur. Her feathers are blue with a yellow streak in a reverse of Sam’s hair.

Scarface lives in an abandoned dump which has been cleared out except for some car tires and scrapped cars. She has only one eye, has brown body, arm, and tail feathers with white head feathers as a result of her Bald Eagle DNA, and is unusually big for a Utahraptor. Scarface has adopted a small group of Deinonychus as her own.

Deinonychus

Four of them, all with brown feathers, live with Scarface the Utahraptor at the abandoned dump. Scowler has a “berserker” attitude, Snarler’s snout has battle scars, Scratcher’s claws are unusually large, and Sniffer’s sense of smell is akin to that of a bloodhound.

Compsognathus

Blue Christine, pink Carly, and the juvenile Yoko are the Guardian Dinosaurs of Lana, Lola, and Lily respectively. Christine loves playing with Lana in the mud, Carly is sometimes dressed by Lola as a dragon, and Yoko is a curious baby just like Lily.

Stenonychosaurus

Speckles (not the Tarbosaurus) is an orange male who is Clyde’s Guardian Dinosaur, with birthmarks like his Tarbosaurus namesake, and Einstein is Lisa’s Guardian Dinosaur, with a tawny colour to his feathers.

Two other Stenonychosauruses are a pair of wild-living white-feathered females named Frost and Ice.

Achillobator

Bloodsport and his mate Madam live wild. They are brown with bald heads and Bloodsport is territorial and loves Madam dearly, clearly planning to start a new pack.

Nothronychus

Two mated couples live wild, black-feathered Slasher and Slicer, and brown-feathered Buster and Brownie.

Yutyrannus

The Rogue is an extremely aggressive Yutyrannus with a red crest on her head and white feathers. She is responsible for the incident which claimed the lives of Bobby, Ronnie Anne, and several others. The scientists tried, but failed, to recapture her. The Rogue is the main dinosaur antagonist.

Opening Paleo Exhibit: Nothronychus

Nothronychus was a genus of Therizinosaur Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of North America around 91 million years ago during the Turonian stage. It was discovered in 2001 in the Moreno Hill Formation, New Mexico, USA and named Nothronychus by James Kirkland meaning "Slothful Claw", it was named so because its claws resembled those of a sloth, there are two species, the type species, Nothronychus mckinleyi meaning "McKinley's Slothful Claws" and the other species discovered in 2009, Nothronychus graffami meaning "Graffam's Slothful Claw".

Nothronychus, like other Therizinosaurs, was a herbivore, it probably ate a variety of plants. It was similar to the Asian Therizinosaurus, it had a long neck and small head like a sauropod, a short tail and three big claws on each hand it most likely used for defense and manipulating plant matter.

Nothronychus could grow up to 4.2 m long and around 3 m tall, it could weigh up to 800 Kg.

Nothronychus was one of the first Therizinosaurs discovered in North America
