Challenge: #97 Extinction
Characters/Pairing : James Lester
Warnings: None



Most people when confronted with the extinction of a species, feel a sense of loss and sorrow. They also never ended up in a position to be confronted by a species already extinct and in Lester's opinion rightly so. He didn't fully tune out Professor Cutter's excited babble over the dinosaur of the day and understood the fascination, but was practical enough not to get too involved. Couldn't very well say "Let the cute and fluffy dinosaurs through and we'll all live in harmony but shoot all the ones with big teeth." Shame, he'd gotten rather fond of the Mammoth.

well of course you can't say let the cute and fluffy dinosaurs through - the predatory dinosaurs had feathers! (at least down feathers like baby birds)

excellent drabble.

hide hte mammoth in your basement, Lester; nobody'll notice. :)

oooh, good thought on hiding the mammoth.

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

LOL the neighbours might become suspicious, but good plan.

Someone's always got to be the practical one... Nice drabble!

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) Lester is nothing if not practical (except when he's not *g*)

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Very Lester *g*. Good one!

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[fififolle]

Very good! Lovely Lester :)

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Well, he could say that...but it wouldn't go over very well. lolol Very cool, thanks.

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

You can just see him, arms crossed, stating that with an arched brow then rolling his eyes at the reaction it caused *g*

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

lolol

[lilyroseharper.livejournal.com]

I'm rather fond of the mammoth too. :)

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

He did rather endear himself to a lot of us *g*

[verito295.livejournal.com]

Awwwww Loved Lester's POV in this but I totally agree the mammoth should be the exeption :)

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he could be unofficial mascot of ARC?

[fredbassett]

LOL, Lester and the mammoth have a rather special bond. *grins*


Nice drabble!

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

A very special bond (<3's the Mammoth)

LOL I can just see Lester down at the doors late at night, pacing slowly as he verbalises his thoughts and ideas, the Mammoth being the best confidant, won't talk back or argue and had the good taste to save his life

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, yes Lester has a soft spot for the mammoth. Maybe they can keep the prehistoric animals that save the lives of any of the team :D

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

I think that is an incredibly sensible idea *g*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

I think Lester's family have had a narrow escape - they could have been landed with a rather large pet! *g* Nice drabble.

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

LOL! (has an image of a smirking Lester contemplating playing 'fetch')

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Very nice.. I sure he could find a reason to keep the mammoth though..

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I sure he could find a reason to keep the mammoth though..

I'm certain he could :)

[ladydevon.livejournal.com]

Of course the Mammoth is safe, it doesn't have sharp pointed teeth. (they are tusks, Lester didn't say anything about tusks)

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

LOL! Exactly!

[cordeliadelayne]

Very good :D

[slashybits.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)
