John just chuckled over the air. "I was going to suggest that, but figured I'd get an argument like Dom's. The Birds is one movie I've actually seen. But, with Alexis covering both of us, it should be fine." And dinosaurs still weren't as bad as the machines in a lot of ways. "At least during the day. Some of these suckers had primitive echolocation abilities. So, night flights are what will be risky, even with Alexis' help. Alexis, bring your pack, just in case we have to make an emergency landing. I can carry you and it without a problem. My pack has tools we need for maintaining the machine, so I'll leave it here. Over."
"Since we need some sort of recon, go with that plan," Marty's voice came over the speaker. "Robert, can you take both Alexis and I over to the Director's car? Everyone else stay put and don't get out of the cars."
"Probably best to keep the walkies on the lowest volume setting that still lets you hear, too," John added. "As Dom pointed out, evolution's had it's way with these guys and we're not the top of the food chain any longer. But, we can also extrapolate some basic information. That small sounds carry in terrain like this is one of them. And there are smaller predators out there who won't have to worry about Mama being too big. So, too much noise is going to be a problem. Radio silence as much as possible is a good idea. Over."
