"Sure is hot today." Riley sighs as he places an empty bucket down.
Chase notices Shelby hunched over a notebook beneath the makeshift sun shelter, "Eh? What's she up to?" He mutters. Shelby mumbles lowly to herself before throwing her pencil down.
"How 'bout lending a hand?" Chase pointedly suggests across the dig site in which we were hoping to find new energems. Me, Tyler, Koda and Riley turn with curiosity.
"Follow me for a sec." Chase squints through the sunlight and fiddles with his tools. I sneak a glance but avert my eyes when he smiles (still squinting) and waves back.
Shelby continues, "Keeper gave 13 different energems to 13 different dinosaurs."
"Of course!" Koda exclaims, "Wait- I- uh, what?"
"We've found 6 energems but 7 are still lost, those energems will only be found near the fossils of the Pterodactyl(us), Ankylosaurus, Pachycehalosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Titanosaurus, Cryolophosaurus and Iguanodon. We shouldn't dig here just because we found bones here before." She finishes.
After a pause, "Ok then, where should we dig?" Asks Tyler.
"I...don't know exactly but-" the boys chuckle.
"Well, we could go to where we know they've been known to be found, like England or Belgium for Iguanodon, but that'll cost money and time we don't have. Not while defending Amber Beach." I state, drawing surprised and questioning looks.
"Didn't take you for a palaeontologist, thought you were more into computers and stuff?" Chase questions.
"Well I- uh, may have...done some research-" I stammer, telling on myself.
"Look, I have an idea." Shelby desperately interrupts, pulling the group's focus back to her. She sits at her previous station with the other rangers gathering around, "Check this out. If we combine the known areas where each dinosaur lived with the energy signatures from each dinosaur's energem, then we can pinpoint more accurately where to look." She explains passionately.
"Ehh, energy...signature? What is Shelby say?" Koda innocently asks.
"She just doesn't like getting dirty." Chase accuses with snark.
"No, what I'm saying is, we need to work smarter, not harder."
"Yeah actually she might be right about that energy signature-" Riley agrees, "-but how would you track it?"
Tyler goes to take a sip of his drink, quickly annoyed by the discovery that it i, in fact, empty. "Hey!"
"You finished all our drinks." Chase deadpans, with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"What? It's really hot out here!" Shelby justifies, trying to defend herself.
"Yeah, we noticed." Comes Tyler's sarcastic reply.
"Shelby drink, like camel." Koda comments.
Said pink ranger sighs in annoyance, "Shouldn't we at least test my theory?" the silence that soon followed speaks for itself. "Fine then. I don't need anything from you guys anyway."
