Jurassic Tinker
A random security guard was patrolling the northern beach when he found the girl.
Her clothes were soaked through, indicating she washed up from a wreck. The second scenario was she was unlucky enough to fall off a ship and got written off by the crew. It had happened before. Most weren't lucky enough to be alive when they were found though.
He grabbed his walkie-talkie. "Console, I got a possible drifter here."
"Console copies, check for life signs."
The guy behind the console must be watching star trek again. It was the only time he got technical.
Making sure the girl was alive was a good idea though. "I got a pulse."
"Description? I need it for the med bay."
"Female, late teens the too early twenties? Tall might weigh a hundred thirty right now." The guard rattled off. "And its a clinic, not a med bay."
"Whatever, anything special that might affect her condition?"
"Possible hypothermia or frostbite? She's cold what do you want me to say?"
"Roger that, take her to the med bay, They'll get her awake and get some answers. I'll call ahead to let them know to treat a possible hypo-frost."

I groaned as I woke, trying to remember what happened...oh right Simurgh made a thing and a Someone turned it on. Next event was a bright flash and pain.
Sitting up I looked around at the room I was in, noting the whitewashed brick and machines. Ideas and blueprints popping into my head for the machines I saw, improvements or overhauls.
Just as I was getting ready to swing my legs and stand, the door opened to admit a pretty woman with dark hair into the room. She looked up at me, and her eyes went wide "You're up! Be right back, I'm gonna go get my Dad and Uncle."
Well...that happened. where was I? some of the things here look like antiques from the 80's, well wherever I was the person or persons must be collectors. Everything looked brand new.
The door opened again a few minutes later for a couple of old men, probably best friends cause neither looked like the brothers the woman went to get, aren't brothers supposed to look alike?
One of the men walked up with a friendly smile and stuck his hand out for a shake, what looked like a gem topped bone cane in the other. "hello, my name is John Hammond, and you are?"
"Taylor, where am I?"
"Well if you would join us in my office. We can get some of your questions answered, and maybe some o ours as well, hmm?" John asked.
"That sounds reasonable."
...An hour later.
I was sitting in front of the two men the girl had gotten when I woke up. John, the friendly greeter, was around late 50's, early 60's, wore white everything. He was also apparently fascinated with dinosaurs. Like a little kid...it was actually kinda funny to watch him get so worked up.
His friend, on the other hand, Lockwood, was kinda stuffy looking, nice three-piece suit, kind of stern face. Maybe early 50's in age, very old money kind of attitude.
Did I mention they had matching canes? Right down to the insect in what I later found out to be amber.
"So, you guys found me on your beach and brought me here, to your manor. Out of Kindness?" I asked.
"That's right." John smiled at me.
Okay, either Simurgh's Toy was a time bomb, or I got shuffled to another universe...okay no need panic. Right?
"what year is it?'' I asked, trying to hide my slight panic.
"1981, oh the day is the 4th, of February if that helps." John helpfully supplied. Which was nice cause I didn't even ask for the day or month yet.
So I was in the past. Before Scion. Okay, I can work with this.
I sighed, "some, I got some time to figure things out at least."
"can we help in any way?" Lockwood asked. "A phone maybe?"
"no one to call." I was slightly disappointed at that fact. I'll have to see if Scion shows next year.
"A job then?"
"What kind of job?" Not gonna say no. Be something to do.
"I'm sure we could find something, anything you know how to do?" Hammond asked.
"Done a bit of Tinkering here and there, some minor security testing, kind of a jack of all things really." Yep, Just some little things. Like an apple with orange meat, that was fun.
"Tinkering?" John asked.
"Yes sir, I'm a bit of an inventor." Not necessarily a lie, right? I mean I have made things others haven't.
"Anything we might know about?"
"Probably not, just some food plant improvements. I can take the DNA of different species and mix it to make a better one." And not a lie.
"And if we got you an extinct species?" Lockwood asked. Oh, good question. My power was already giving me methods.
So..."I can bring it back provided I have the right tools."
John looked a little excited. "And if you had animal DNA?" I could do almost anything.
"What did you have in mind?"
Things were about to get interesting.
