Prologue
1998 - After Acquiring the rights to InGen, Masrani Global Corporation wanted to make the company profitable and to grant the dying wish of John Hammond, the renowned owner of InGen. This then led to the blueprints of the soon-to-be Jurassic World.
End of 2000 - Abstergo Industries has forged a contract to Masrani Global Corporation as a primary investor on their future projects, such as the Jurassic World. They also acquired some rights to own the Isla Nublar and the Isla Sorna.
2004 - With the Jurassic World completed, the stocks of the Masrani Global Corporation has skyrocketed as hundreds of investors begin to fund a large amount of money, including Abstergo. The companies and some private investors, had seen a large profit on the theme park after Abstergo dubbed it as "the most advanced theme park in the entire world".
2005 - Jurassic World has opened and a whooping total number of 98,100 people had visited the park in just one month. The Masrani Global Corporation's stock has skyrocketed again however their relationship of Abstergo Industries had gone cold. The Abstergo had concentrated on the pharmaceutical field after the renowned Dr Henry Wu offered some of his work and researched on ancient diseases which were stored on InGen's genome Library.
Although they were still investing at Masrani, their primary goal slowly shifted from the theme park to creating vaccines and other medicines to help in the fight against deadly diseases now and decades to come.
2012 - Abstergo Industries has created a subsidiary gaming company called Abstergo Entertainment with the goal of launching video games. Among them, futuristic VR games made with the newly-created Animus Omega system.
2014 - Abstergo Entertainment had suffered a catastrophic technical failure as every account of their customers was hacked and millions of dollars were lost in just one week. The company was then forced to pay for everything, almost bankrupting the Abstergo Industries.
2015 - 1 year later, not yet recovering from the hacking events of 2014, Abstergo Industries has suffered another catastrophe, this time involving Masrani Global Corporation. The Dinosaurs of Jurassic World had gone rampant and almost destroyed the theme park. Being as a part owner of the island and as the Primary Stockholder and investor of the, now dying,Masrani Global Corporation, they were forced to pay all of the expenses, including massive bereavement payment as hundreds people were killed by the dinosaurs.
Middle of 2015 - Abstergo Industries was now losing a lot of money, the once proud multi-million dollar company was on the brink of closure due to bankruptcy.
The Templar Order, a powerful secret ancient organization, every faction of them, has begun to question the Abstergo's CEO Alan Rikkin, who was also the head of the infamous order. The organization was using Abstergo as their facade on their true goals on world domination through technology.
Since the company was bleeding out the resources of the Templar Order, they began to question his leadership. Abstergo's loss was a big step down to them.
Near the end of mid summer 2015, August 1 2015 - Abstergo Philadelphia
(1 month after Jurassic World Incident)
On the dimly lit secret office inside the Philadelphia Abstergo Industries, the loud typing of fingers on a keyboard reverberated on the walls. The office was a four cornered square type and refurbished with comfortable furniture and several statues of famous Templar Grandmasters.
On the forward portion of the room, sitting on an executive chair, was a woman who was busy talking on the phone. Laetitia England gave a nod and fixed her tied brown hair. Her all white office attire glowed against the computer screen on her sturdy desk as she exchanged words with the person who she was talking on the phone.
"We deeply respect your decisions...and we're very sorry for that." she sighed on an annoyed manner. The person on the other end of the line explained the current issue that the Abstergo was facing which made her frown and she mentally clicked her tongue in anger and disappointment.
"Yes I understand…" she responded with frown. She was tired hearing it all over and over again. Ever since that incident happened she was always under fire, both by the media and the U.S. Government. Her anger was completely off as she put down the phone, ending the conversation.
She rested her back, slowly and painfully, on her chair and then muttered.
"Citibank, Maybank and other minor banks in the U.S. has decided to withdraw majority of their stocks from Abstergo…" she slowly shifted her brown eyes, across her desk, towards a man clothed in black business suit and sitting uncomfortably despite the comfortable couch that he was sitting on.
The man was bald and possessed a beard on his face. He glanced at Laetitia with an acrimony written all over his face.
"Shit...that's 3.3 million all gone in an instant." he commented, letting out a short displeasured breath. As the CEO of Abstergo Industries, Alan Rikkin's job was to keep the company afloat but now that they've lost another millions of dollars he was very agitated. Abstergo was in peril
The older man grunted and then slammed his right fist on the coffee table in front of him, not minding it was glass.
"Why, for all fucking time, why did it happen!?" his furious voice echoed around the room, but the woman calmly, voice tinged with resentment, answered.
"It was nothing but an accident-"
"An accident that was caused by that-blasted Indominus shit!" Alan roared in fury as he stood up and slammed both of his hands again on Laetitia's desk. The woman shifted on her seat, and casted her eyes filled with enmity at the man,
"That's because it was needed! After Masrani's stupid Jurassic World opened, the people's headcount began to decrease, gradually, so they build that blasted 'Indominus shit' so they can get more profit!" For a long time, Laetitia shouted in pure annoyance. It was one of the questions that she always encountered ever since the Jurassic World incident.
Alan Rikkin grunted in exasperation as his eyes locked on Laetitia's furious one, building heavier atmosphere around them. The office's air was completely tense because of the their intensive argument which could, at any time, escalate to a physical blood bath, but then a shrill noise disrupted the negative atmosphere completely.
The two of them looked back, at the very dark corner of the room where a light coming from a cellular phone, illuminated the second man's, face.
Standing with his back leaning on the wall behind him, Juhani Otso Berg silently scanned his phone, the light coming from the screen glowed, showing his hideous burned scars on the left part of his face.
After a second he stopped, putting his phone back inside of his black pants, and crossed his arms over his chest, covered with his black jacket over his grey shirt.
"I don't mean to interrupt," he began calmly, and closed his eyes as he spoke, "but please continue although the answer was simple, " he opened his jet black eyes and cast it at the two and added, "we let it go,"
If looks could kill a person, Alan and Laetitia might have already killed him. Both of them frowned, displeased to what he said. It wasn't helping the situation after all.
"Mr Otso Berg...would you mind to shut up," Laetitia England made a threatening scowl at him, the man however simply nodded, and stood motionless. Ever since the conversation started, Juhani Otso Berg had stood on the same spot for an hour, listening to their argument. His motionless state almost made him blended with the furnitures inside the room.
The actions and exchange of words between the two leaders of the company, made him cast a disappointed look. He trusted them both for they were not only just executives of Abstergo, but members of the inner sanctum of the Templar Order.
They should've handling this situation as smooth as possible, just like an 'ideal Leaders of the Templar Order, but with tonight's meeting, he deemed that the two of them alone could bring a bad reputation to the order itself.
He let out a silent sigh before he spoke again, despite Laetitia's killing eyes casted on him.
"I will and I apologise...Mr Henry Wu has just arrived." The faces of the Templar members quickly relaxed after Juhani announced of the esteemed Doctor Henry Wu. One of the man behind the building of Jurassic World's genetically advancement.
"Oh…" Laetitia, from her mad frown, shifted her expression and smiled. She stood up and fixed some portion of her white office coat that was entangled due to her earlier angry fits.
"Why didn't you say earlier, Berg," her smile bloomed and erase some of her stress lines on her face. Alan Rikkin also changed, he let out a tired sigh and fixed the black tie on his neck, his attitude lighted up as he face Juhani.
"Well Juhani, welcome him and bring him to conference room number two." he commanded pleasantly to the Templar Master who merely bowed and left the room. The two of them stayed with a smile spread on their lips and as Juhani left, Alan let out a final bickering scowl at Laetitia England.
"We're now the laughing stock of the whole Templar Order, make sure this one will click!" his angry gaze loomed at the woman whose smile change into a sinister one.
"Trust me, this one will." she said with a trusting tone on her voice.
Dr Henry Wu, a Chinese-American man, stood pleasantly inside the silent conference room. It was already past midnight but tonight's meeting was a very important one. He fixed his red tie over his grey coat and maroon shirt, and checked his black pants for any loose thread or damaged to his clothes.
He must look presentable for he was in Abstergo, the company that Masrani and InGen both owe. His respects to the company was overwhelming for they helped fulfilled the last wishes of John Hammond and that was building the Jurassic World.
But now that incident occurred, he was also sad. Will he still have the guts to say thanks to Abstergo, despite their financial difficulties right now due to that incident? Will they still be glad that they were part of the, now closed probably forever, Jurassic World? Those questions troubled him deeply.
He looked behind him as the door opened and the familiar scarred face of Juhani entered, trailing behind him were the two people leading the Abstergo Industry. He gently bowed and greeted them with a smile.
"Mr Rikkin and Ms England, good evening...or morning," he said in an apologetic manner, not knowing if it's already morning or still evening, as Alan spoke first.
"Oh good morning Dr Wu, we're very glad that you've found time to talk with us."
"Yes I'm glad, though everything was busy for me today, the incident was very grave," The doctor said as some memories of the accident almost came back to him. The three of them quietly sat down, except for Otso Berg who stood beside the door, silently observing the whole scene.
"Jurassic World was in peril because of the accident and so was Masrani." Laetitia begun as the doctor only nodded to the situation.
"And we would like to know how it began. Although we know that one of your 'special' dinosaurs had started it," the woman asked as the doctor looked at the two of them, his eyes were filled reminiscence as he recalled each of the events.
Juhani and the other two Templar members listened intently. From how the Indominus Rex was implemented and then how the accident started. A few nods were made from the Abstergo CEO while Juhani cast his black eyes at the doctor, observing him more.
The story was finished with a final disappointed sigh escaping from the doctor's mouth.
"We understand completely," Alan begin this time, absorbing the new found knowledge of the accident deeply. The accident was simple. Human error, lack of awareness and poor management of the situation has led to the accident.
As simple as that...Alan thought, ridiculing the accident more, instead of being saddened by it. If only he could turned back the time, he would've been the one to stop Masrani form building such monstrosity.
"I understand that you're planning to cut ties with Masrani and InGen, which was why I was here to apologize on behalf of Masrani and say my thanks to you all for keeping the remaining frozen embryos to you personal cold storage lab for safe keeping. " Both pairs of eyes darted to the doctor in surprise.
Doctor Henry Wu concluded. With the Jurassic World's incident, the era of cloned dinosaurs theme parks was now finished. He had seen how dinosaurs react to their environment, and that must be the reason why nature chose them to be extinct. They're too dangerous for mankind's existence.
"But there must be a way," The doctor looked at Laetitia who stuttered and resumed talking, "well there must be a way to prevent those kind of accident from happening again."
A puzzled look formed on Doctor Wu's face. Then after doing a short analyzation a conclusion formed in his mind. With a questioning tone he asked the two of them.
"Ms Laetitia...are somehow planning to open the park again?" and then he got his answer as he saw Alan smiled at him and leaned closer to him.
"Yes." the single word escaping from the CEO made the man sigh in disappointment again. He already told them how the accident happen and how it might happen again. It was clear to him that CEO of Abstergo didn't even listen to his story.
"Now I know we sounded crazy but uh," Alan paused, making a few chuckles of disbelief, and continued, "it's such a waste. Jurassic World still has a potential to be famous once again."
Dr Henry Wu cast his doubtful eyes at him. He was in disbelief that, even though his company was having financial difficulties, Alan was still somehow convince him that the dangerous park can still be opened.
"Mr Rikkin, I am tired with building dinosaurs. It simply dangerous, not too much a little bit un-God like." The Doctor said as Juhani stared at him with a questioning look, puzzled on what the doctor had said.
But you already built it before...why stop now? he wanted to pose the question but he only glanced away, he might disrupt the meeting anyway and enrage the two Templar Masters.
"Yes however we already formulated a plan. This time it will succeed." Laetitia began her plan as she swiped the surface of the meeting table activating a holographic computer. Three holographs had appeared on the table, the doctor leaned and read the following words displayed.
JURASSIC EMPIRE
The words made the doctor release a silent chagrin sigh. He was correct; Abstergo was clearly trying to open it one more time. He relaxed on his chair as the projector above them lit up and displayed the familiar, ill-fated, Isla Nublar and the famous Jurassic World.
"The reason why the accident happened is because Indominus Rex was created. A very intelligent artificial hybrid Dinosaur am I right Doctor Wu," Alan asked again, his face beamed a convincing smile at the doctor who just made a silent nod.
"Now...no matter how genius it was however, it was still an animal," Alan narrated as the slide moved, showing the drawing scale of Indominus Rex and continue his explanation, "animals rely and act based on instinct. Hunting, gathering, co-existing, etc, etc. The dinosaur was just intelligent on those parts and nothing more."
The CEO of Abstergo paused as Laetitia butted in. "So we formulated a plan to create another dinosaur however this time...it will not have animal instinct." The doctor shifted his eyes at Laetitia, half mystified and confused. A dinosaur without an animal instinct, this was the first time that he heard such a plan.
"Mr Wu I would like you to introduce," Laetitia paused, her fingers glided on the surface of the table, excitedly as the slide moved and displayed a face of a latino man, as the woman continued,
"Subject 17 AKA Desmond Miles,"
The man possessed a scar on the right side of his lips and his face displayed a peaceful eternal sleep. The doctor concluded that the man was long dead but with a questioning look he asked the two of them.
"Well...and?"
"Mr Wu. Desmond Miles is the future Indominus Desmonian Rex." Alan said with enchantment. The doctor darted his eyes at him, shocked and bewildered. He finally realized what the two were planning. They wanted to build a dinosaur without an animal instinct; instead they were planning with a human one. A human enhanced dinosaur.
He glanced at the back and saw Juhani, still displaying a baffled expression. The two of them had also reached the same conclusion. And the two of them were thinking the same thing.
This is mad…
"Mr Rikkin...are you telling me, to build a dinosaur with a human DNA?" bewildered still, the Doctor asked as the CEO of abstergo formed a long, gleeful smile and nodded.
The doctor was stunned and frightened, he quickly retorted.
"But this is inhuman and John Hammond will be saddened by this!" his voice rose at the two who looked at each other, with wonderment on whether what the Doctor said was even correct, and then back to him with a rebuttal.
"The man was a criminal Mr Wu." Alan said as the slide in front moved and showed an FBI report, showing the man named Desmond Miles, as a leader of a small time terrorist group, in Syria. "I don't see the problem turning one into a dinosaur?"
"Still…!" Mr Wu was in denial and tried to confute what they've said but then after reading the criminal record of Desmond Miles, he pause his counter statement. He read again, Desmond Miles, a terrorist, killed a lot of people including children. He made a huge gulped and rearranged his thoughts.
But this is inhuman...but he was also inhuman...no, well...unsure to what he will decide or to throw a counterargument at the two, he only relaxed his back on his chair. The two has a point, the man was a monster, he was already dead, probably by death row. He stared at the image projected on the wall with affliction.
A man like Desmond doesn't even deserve to live, he has done a lot of hideous acts, they wouldn't be a problem indeed, if they turned into a dinosaur but he has pride on science, he can't disturbed a dead man. Desmond was still a human and he must rest in peace forever, no matter what he had done on past.
"Does he have...any parents, relatives?" the doctor slowly asked in doubt as Alan answered.
"No, he was abandoned by birth, as for relatives or friends...they're all dead in Syria." The CEO observed the doctor's reaction, just say yes...he thought hardly, his right index finger made several little thumping sound at the table. The Templar Grandmaster silently dreaded the seconds that had passed, he was so eager to hear the doctor's response.
"Mr Wu," Laetitia beamed in. She placidly put both of her hands on the table as she said. "Do you still want to fulfil John Hammond's dream?" the question made the doctor shifted his eyes at her. He still has a desire to fulfil it one last time, but he wanted it to fulfil it cleanly, not like this.
"I know it's unethical...but we have no choice. John Hammond will be saddened by the fact that his dream world, the Jurassic World, was closed down because of an accident that should've been prevented."
Laetitia argued in she stared at the doctor who glanced back at the screen, to Desmond Miles with a blundered look. Fulfilling Hammond's dream was good but this was, again, unethical. He wanted to say no but since the man was a criminal and he was half interested to the fact that he was going to build a dinosaur with human instinct made him feel anxious. No dinosaur in Jurassic World was built with human genome before and this would be the first time.
"All right then...but first I want a scientific consent from the FBI or CIA or where ever he was kept before he was executed, I also want his medical records and statement from Abstergo on how they obtained this man," Doctor Henry Wu, with a heavy heart requested to Alan who displayed the widest smile.
"Of course I will," the Templar Grandmaster said with gladness. At last the doctor agreed to open the park one more time. Alan was clearly overjoyed as Laetitia stood and bowed at the doctor and with a welcoming smile said.
"Doctor Henry Wu, welcome to Abstergo's Jurassic Empire. The most advance amusement park in the entire world, once again."
That was all a lie...Juhani, with doomed, thought. He watched as the three continued their meeting with a setback nudge on his stomach. What he just heard was beyond belief to what he thought an Templar Grandmaster will do.
He was dumbstruck with all of the false information that he had heard from the mouths of Alan and Laetitia. And for the first time in his life, he felt pity to the future fate of the deceased Desmond Miles.
It was never true that he was a terrorist leader, it was never true that he killed innocent people. The truth was he was a member of the opposing organization called the Brotherhood of Assassins, a long , ancient organization, whose sole purpose was to bring them, the Order of Templars, down.
He had seen him before, from videos and file, and the man was a good fighter, but a type that will never initiate a killing spree. Although he was an Assassin that killed a lot of his men before, but that was the time when he was trying to rescue his father, whom he caught on one of his missions many years ago.
Tonight's meeting was sickening for him. He had witnessed how a Templar Grandmasters reacted when they were in a dire situation that they couldn't escape, they were desperate and that they were willing to spit on someone's grave.
That one is a man still, no matter who or what organization he belongs to...his eyes darkened at Doctor Henry Wu, concluding that he was also forced to agreeing with the plan too, as he bitterly silenced himself.
Assassins, Templars or not...everyone deserves a proper death and peaceful afterlife he let out a short downer blow. He only looked away from the three and painstakingly listened throughout the entire remaining hours of the meeting. After all what can he do right now to the two powerful Templar Grandmasters, he was nothing but a lowly Templar Master after all.
