[At first, to be honest, Wing had been a little surprised/grossed out to hear even the possibility that the humans might eat the flesh of the dinosaurs. His kind fueled on simple liquid energon. Much less...well, messy.]

[But he's gotten over that, and been, in his off moments, doing the unpleasant task of taking the dinosaur carcasses and dumping them hopefully far enough away from, well, anything.  Though the winds have likely shifted and the Old City may get an occasional whiff of eau de rotting dinosaur. Sorry.]

[He holds up a long, curved, whitish piece of bone. It's a rib from one of the carcasses: predators have obviously been at work. In his other hand, the broad crest of a triceratops, some tatters of skin still sticking to it.]

It occurs to me that these might be of some use to us? 

It seems a shame to let everything go to waste.

I suppose the rib-bone could be useful as a tool for capital punishment. You may want to hand it to the local ruler, if there is such a thing.

[The woman commenting in the video feed was looking a bit absent-minded, she was cleaning her mouth with a piece of cloth between talking, apparently removing some blood. She wouldn't normally get involved with such a video message system, but to be frank, after exploring some (and having fed just now, on a predator had stalked her), it seemed more prudent to ask questions. And strike up a conversation or two.

Next would be asking the weird being what he was, exactly, of course. Some sort of giant in heavy armor? Curious.

[Well, it hasn't taken Pepper long to find a desk to be sitting at, and there appears to be a promising pile of paper amassing too.

She's not a scientist or an engineer, but when you're helming a transnational industrial manufacturing corporation you learn a little about raw materials.]


The meat is likely unfit for human consumption at this point, but if the bones were properly rendered, bone meal is a historical source of both crop fertilizers and calcium supplements.

Many primitive cultures use bone and hide for tools. Given the size of the creatures, there are certain to be many uses, once the meat itself has been stripped away.
