The Feather That Changed It All

To the residents of Ark City and all of the wonderful inhabitants of Ark: today is a day of historic proportions. Today is a day that, I believe, will never be topped so long as this beautiful island exists. I am here to announce that, with the help of the successful funding from thousands of Ark residents, we have genetically reconstructed a full, living Calla creature from the mysterious Feather that once puzzled us.

Today is not only a day where we can marvel at nature's wonders, but a day where we commemorate the gift of science and its power. Science is not simply an understanding of the world around us. Science is a tool we can use to advance good. However, we must recognize that science can also be abused and that we may overstep our bounds. The good that we advance with science today is the Calla: a creature that will add to Ark's biodiversity and human enjoyment.

For those of you who do not know, on November 11, 2009, the Science and Research Center discovered a mysterious Feather we believed may be linked to the Calla. After 500 million EC in graciously-given funding, we purchased the appropriate equipment to analyze this feather. Thankfully, our hunch was correct. Contained within the Feather are chromosomes and DNA that are extremely similar to both eagles and horses. After extracting this DNA from the feather and injecting this DNA into a living animal cell, it grew and grew into a full Calla that The Archives told us existed.

Calla are a majestic cross between an eagle and a horse. They are able to soar high to dangerous elevations; elevations where humans would normally die due to the scarcity of oxygen. Not only can they fly and transport humans by air from their eagle heritage, but they pack an extremely dangerous punch with their back hooves if an attack occurs. Calla are loyal only to the first human it lays its sight on.

The Science and Research Center have made 5 functional Calla. More can, and will, be made. This process, naturally, is extremely costly and expensive. Only the most privileged of Ark citizens will be able to afford to own a Calla.

Join us, Thursday, May 27, at 5:00 pm ECT for the release of the first Calla into the wild. You will see it in all of its splendor. After the release, Calla will be available for purchase at the Science and Research Center (for EC).

This Feather is magnificent. It's the Feather that changed it all.

sparklefox • 22 May 2010, 9:44 AM

*Note to self*: Don't spend EC until Calla comes out...

exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 9:58 AM

elluwah • 22 May 2010, 10:06 AM

@exempje1 -- Haha, that happens to me ALL the time xD I don't understand why, it's not like I'm inactive or anything. o_O

elluwah • 22 May 2010, 10:07 AM

Which reminds me... I really ought to sort out my friend list. This shall take me a while... over 300 to go through :|

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:07 AM

Probably because you don't feed their eggs or something 😸

exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 10:07 AM

o.o Maybe I had an impostor-friend and he got deleted.. Or maybe they think I'm not nice. x.x

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:08 AM

I have under 60 friends, so i can feed them all easily daily in summer vacation 😊

elluwah • 22 May 2010, 10:09 AM

I always feed back, it says so on my profile >.< If I'm deleted for not feeding back quickly enough, then... blah >:|

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:09 AM

No, you're nice exempje1 😊 The user probably never saw you on and decided to delete you...I know, I know. Lame idea but yeah xD

rivanna2424 • 22 May 2010, 10:10 AM

exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 10:18 AM

@oka -Maybe save it for later? o.o

okamikaji • 22 May 2010, 10:20 AM

maybe i should lol

thursdays_dove • 22 May 2010, 10:20 AM

I'm going to be doing mass feedings today so I can raise money to buy a Calla when it's released! Comment on my profile if you need feeds!😊

exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 10:20 AM

I'm making it 100 again. xD

thursdays_dove • 22 May 2010, 10:21 AM

And let me put it in perspective - I haven't fed back much in months because of work, so I'm taking time out of my busy day to do this. xD

okamikaji • 22 May 2010, 10:23 AM

I am getting tired of people feeding my featured (Rek) she doesn't need feeds >-< ah well....

exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 10:27 AM

@oka -At least she's not starving. xD And wow, Terrons need 10.000 to evolve to second? Mine just has 6.500.. Getting impatient. ._.

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:28 AM

I have 57 friends 😊 Some users think I'm an unknown user..am I unknown? I really don't think so, like 15 people feed me every day! Oh well

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:28 AM

I like the 1st and 2nd stage of terrons. The third stage is too big (kind of), even though it's the enlarged version of the 2nd stage...😊

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:30 AM

@oka - The same thing used to happen to me! Everyonee would feed my featured, that needs VIEWS not FEEDS or CLICKS. I got annoyed but,

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:30 AM

I still fed back. That's my policy and I follow it, no matter how annoyed I get...😈

whitefall • 22 May 2010, 10:31 AM

Gotta go soon. I'm going to the TA. See you guys later!! (>^^)> <(^^<) [That means hugs by the way]

silverserpent • 22 May 2010, 10:32 AM

@whitefall That happens a lot. Doesn't matter if it is a click or view egg. They feed it. xD

silverserpent • 22 May 2010, 10:33 AM

(>^^)> <(^^<) is so cute. 😸

silverserpent • 22 May 2010, 10:33 AM

But I don't know where the 😉 comes from... xD
