Disclaimer: I do not own Jurassic World or any of the characters except my own, Ava Croft. I just followed the story line and add some of my own input for Ava. Thank you for choosing to read my first story. It will be sort of disjointed but I feel it started connecting towards the end.
"Welcome to Jurassic World."
Claire led the three sponsors and new recruit through the labyrinth of people into the labs.
"While year over year revenue continues to climb, operating cost are higher than ever. Our shareholders have been patient but let's be honest. No one's impressed by a dinosaur anymore. 20 years ago, the extinction was right up there with magic. These days, kids look at a stegosaurus like an elephant from the city zoo. That doesn't mean asset development is falling behind. Our DNA excavators discover new species every year, but consumers want them bigger, louder, more teeth. The good news? Our advances in gene splicing have opened up a whole new frontier. We've learned more from genetics in the past decade than a century of digging up bones. So when you say you want to sponsor an attraction, what do you have in mind?"
The sponsors glanced each other, each individual knowing want the others had wanted. "We want to be thrilled."
Claire had simply agreed to the statement, "Don't we all?" Smiling, she turned to the board stationed behind her; she swiped the screen, rotating the DNA strand displayed. "The Indominus Rex, our first genetically modified hybrid."
"How'd you get two different kinds of dinosaurs to, you know..." The man had gestured with his hands the act of reproduction.
"Indominus wasn't breed." Everyone had turned to face the geneticist, Dr. Henry Wu. "She was designed. She will be 50 feet long when fully grown, bigger than a T-Rex." Claire walked forwards to lessen the space in between her and the sponsors. "Every time we unveiled a new asset, attendance has spiked. Global news coverage, celebrity visitors, eyes of the world."
"Wait. You mean to tell me that you just created a new dinosaur?" Eyes became focused on Ava Croft, the new recruit for the Security division. "Yes, is that a problem?" Ava was baffled. "Who made you God? You can't go and make a new dinosaur, they became extinct for a reason." Claire and Dr. Wu shared an irritated look, "Miss Croft, we understand your concern but we are scientists. As scientists, we do as we see fit to gain knowledge that will benefit the human race."
Ava shook her head while the sponsors refocused on the main question, "When will she be ready?" Dr. Wu face lightened with a genuine smile. "She already is."
The young brunette had piercing blue eyes that could rival the sea; she peered at the creator of the new dinosaur. "What is the dinosaur made of?" Dr. Wu looked down, looking like a child who had done something wrong. "The base of the Indominus is a T-Rex but the rest is classified." Ava was suspicious of the rest the dinosaur, pushing further for her own curiosity. "Why, exactly, is the rest classified?" Dr. Wu stood his ground, staring back at her blue eyes. "I am not permitted to tell you that information."
Claire had felt the tension in the air and decided to guide the sponsors out. "Thank you for coming Jurassic World. We hope you choose to sponsor our new attraction."
"Miss Croft, it's time for you to continue the tour." At the mention of her name, Ava broke the staring competition. "Right. Where will we be going next?" The senior employee began to fidget and had a slightly frightened look on his face. "The Velociraptors' Paddock."
