"Thats what we came here to tell you. We think it may be a new Tyrannosaurida."
"What? Thats incredible!" Omar quickly got up and went into the harsh Texas climate. He ran over to the digsite. "Kyle hand me the pictures of all known Tyrannosaurida.
NOW." He said. He went to the skull of the creature. It was about 7 feet long, larger that a Trex. It had a long row of serrations on the top of its skull, about 1 inch long by 2 inches wide. He compared it to every other skull. "Well?" Chris asked.
"It's definately knew. I can't believe it!" Omar said. He called the lab in NYC. "Pick up, pick up." "Hello?" Said a voice.
"Dr. Braxton! A brand new species! Its a tyrannosaurida but a lot larger than a Rex!"
"What? Amazing! You must send me pictures."
"I will. Give me a week and I'll fly there and give them to you personally. We're still excavating it. Once that's done we'll inform Hammond and then I'll come with a few pictures of the skull."
"Alright Omar. I'll be waiting. Oh and Hammond is sending a letter to you. I don't know what it's about."
"Ok bye." There was a knock on the door. "That must be the letter." He said. He opened the door and one of the workers handed him a letter. He opened it and sat at his desk.
Dear Mr. Khan,
I want to inform you that I will be inviting you to see our glorius new park. I would like you to visit my island in the Pacific. You can call my associates and they can put you through to me. It is a wonderful dormant volcano with lush forests and diverse plants. The attractions here are not to miss. You must see them I insist. Please call my associate as I will be with him from Monday to Thursday.
-Best regards John Hammond There was a number listed at the bottom and Omar called it.
"Hello?"
"Yes this is Omar Khan from the Texas paleontology digsite."
"Omar! This is John Hammond."
"Ahh hello. I called about your letter."
"So you'll be coming?"
"Actually we just uncovered a new species of dinosaur and we have some buisness to deal with."
"Well would it be possible to halt for now? Give your people a brake and come and see the island."
"But that would be difficult seen our current position."
"Well if you would be so kind as to visit our little island I could pay you and everyone that works with you, plus fund your dig and research for the next 10 years."
"Well... I can make time. When?" "Splendid! Tommorow, Friday, my jet will land in Houston, not to far from you, at 5pm."
"I hope you don't mind me bringing 3 other of my associates do you?"
"Not at all! The more the merrier! Have a good day my boy." And the phone clicked off. Omar got up and walked outside. He gathered up all the workers. "Alright guys. Start packing up. The digsite will close until Monday at 6:00. John Hammond has agreed to fund our dig and research for the next ten years if me and Kyle Chris and Kusi join him to an Island. You all have the weekend off with pay." The workers cheered.
"So where we going?" Kyle asked. "To an Island. According to Hammond it's called Isla Nublar."
"Cloud Island." Kusi said.
"Yeah. They have a certain attraction that we need to see. And he wants us to sign off on the park."
"Ok. Let's go." Chris said. The next day was short. They packed up station. Omar took his backpack and filled it with a little bit of food, a waterbottle, a pocketknife and some extra clothes. The next day they had a jeep drive them into the city towards the airport. A few hours went buy and a man wearing a fedora, a man clad in black,
and a women in shorts and a pink top joined them.
"Did you by chance get a call by John Hammond?" The man with a fedora asked.
"Yes. How'd you know?"
"We were to. He actually came to me and my associates digsite."
"Hi. I'm Omar Khan and these are my friends. Kyle Smith, Chris Lindahl, and Kusi Santos."
"I'm Alan Grant. This is Ian Malcolm and Ellie Sattler." He shook hands with Grant. "So do you by chance know what the attraction is? I know something is going on but not what."
"Not a single damn clue." Said Malcolm. "So uhh what exactly do the rest of you do?"
"Chris and Kyle do some of the digging and help with the researcha and DNA testing. Kusi is a mathematician."
"Interesting. Kusi tell me do you believe in the Chaos theory?" "Yeah. I find it quite interesting." She and Malcolm were suddenly into deep conversation about it and Omar turned away. He stood up and walked over to Grant.
"So have you been working on anything interesting lately?" Omar asked.
"Yes. I think we just found an adolecent or juvenile velociraptor."
"Really? Interesting."
"You?"
"We may have found a new tyrannosaurida species."
"Really? Thats incredible! I'll have to stop by and see it. Can you describe it?"
"Yeah. The skull is about 7 feet long with serrations on the top. It's more narrow and compact than a Rex."
"That would be a sight to see." Suddenly a man walked over to them.
"Are you Omar Khan and Alan Grant?"
"Yes." "I'm Donald Genarro. Mr. Hammond sent me to retrieve you. Come with me." "Come on guys." Omar and his group got up and walked with the man towards a jet in the middle of the airspace. It was luxorious and it had more couch-like seats. There were 2 chairs in the middle and a few of the seats were like booths, with a table for meals.
"How long is this flight?" Omar asked Genarro.
"About 6 hours. You can get comfortable because we'll be here a while." A flight attendent walked out. They didn't have a big menu and Omar just went with a hamburger and a coke. Kyle and Ellie sat across from him.
"So Ellie what is it that you do?"
"I'm a botonist. Any plants we uncover I classify them and take there fossils back."
"Interesting."
"But to be honest I like what Dr. Grant does. I'm more interested in dinosaurs but I wounded up as a botonist and the pays good so I'm still one."
"So you're into paleontology? Whats your favorite species?"
"Carnotaurus Saestri. I like the way the're built and the strength of them. In a way the're a mini-rex."
"I'd say you're right if it wasn't in a different family."
"True." She said.
Lewis Dodgson walked into the coffee shop. Dennis Nedry a very fat slob sat at the counter, several dirty dishes beside him as well as a current slice of pie and a cup.
He walked up and placed a briefcase on the desk.
"Nedry." He said.
"Lew. How've you been?"
"Good. But it's time to get down to buisness. Biosyn is anxious and we need those Embryos."
"Oh I'll get them Lew. I've got an 18 minute window."
"Here." Dodgson opened the case. Inside was green. Cash and lots of it.
"750 g's. This is half of what you will be paid. Once you get the embryos you need to get them to San Jose. Once there you'll get your money and you won't need to have contact with us any longer."
"Two problems. First is I want credit for the embryos. Tell them that I got you your start and I want in to some of the money. 3 percent of all merchandise."
"Done."
"Good. Second is how am I supposed to transport them without them going bad?" Dodgson nodded and dug through his pack. He searched and eventually brought out a can of Barbosal. "Great. But I don't see how this'll help me transport them." Dodgson twisted the bottom and there was a slow hissing sound.
"The bottom unscrews." He pulled out a secret compartment. "These individual holes are for each embryo. Once you have them in there will be enough coolant inside for 72 hours. The embryos have to be in San Jose by then. Otherwise all deals are off."
"I'll get them all. Its 60 grand for all 36 species. That's 2,600,000. Plus my 3 percent and this 750." Nedry said. "But don't forget if your guy's not on the east dock I can't get them off the island."
"I'll take care of that."
"Remember, 7:00 tommorow night on the east dock. Make sure your guys there."
