Chapter 2: Not Dilophosaurus?
The first day of July finally comes upon the three paleontologists as they all arrive with heavy backpacks and in camouflage uniforms to the Palo Alto InGen home base. A security guard escorts Robert, Tim, and Andrea to the airplane hangar which holds the time machine.
"Now, Mr. Hammond gives his most sincere apologies for not coming today but he told me it was essential to give these communicating chips to each of you". They all accept as one of the walls lifts up to reveal a huge crowd anxious to witness the three going through the machine. The president of InGen enters the hangar and shakes hands with Robert, Andrea, and Tim saying, "Good luck to you all and if anything wrong happens, just open the case of the communicating chip and press the button, then speak into it so we may bring you back". They all face the crowd showing smiles to cameras and they turn back, facing the time machine. They step up to the platform of the machine, which is then turned on with immense power. They close their eyes, walking forward as the world suddenly becomes brighter, and onto a muddy terrain. Robert, Andrea, and Tim then reveal their eyes to the world 100 million years ago.
"Alright, let's get down to business. I have created a device that will pick up the DNA readings of the Dilophosaurus", says Robert. He opens his backpack up, which he then places on a large rock not too far from their original position.
"There you are. Now who is it that you are working for?", Robert says when he obtains a handheld device with an antenna perched on the top. He then activates the device and types in the dinosaur name. Waiting for it find a match in the surrounding 100 square miles.
"Well, that is odd", he says.
"What is it?" asks Tim.
"It seems that Dilophosaurus is nowhere to be found".
"I'm sorry, but did you just say Dilophosaurus?"
"Yes. That is the dinosaur we are looking for, right?"
"No, we are looking for the Spinosaurus."
Robert's eyes grow wide and his body begins to quiver, "Why did you not inform me earlier? I have been saying Dilophosaurus all this time and now...This is so humiliating". He angrily kicks the rock and Andrea chuckles in the background.
"I thought you knew Mr. Lewis".
"Well..."
Andrea interrupts, "Okay, let's cut to the chase. Mr. Know-It-All isn't such a Know-it-All. Now how big is Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, Tim?"
"Roughly 60 feet."
"At least we're looking for one that has already been dead. Hey, type in Spinosaurus now", she says to a still quivering Robert Lewis. But he takes deep breaths to relieve the panic from his mind, then he types in the device, Spinosaurus. The device takes 30 seconds to scan the 100 square miles and a message pops up stating 3 found 200+ square miles from their original location. Andrea and Tim gather around Robert and observe the map that later shows up on the screen.
"That seems far. I estimate that it will take approximately 10 days to get there", exclaims Tim.
"Indeed, but I think we should walk for 3 hours and then take a 10 minute rest before going any further".
"That's fine with me", says Andrea. Tim nods his head as well for approval, "Well then, let's get going". The three start traveling with the aid of the Dinosaur DNA Tracking Device knowing that they might many face obstacles or that the many obstacles might face them.
