San Jose, Costa Rica

A man stepped out of a car in a marketplace in San Jose. He walked very swiftly, looking around nervously, as if he was being watched. The man wore a red shirt, and with sunglasses and a panama hat. He carried a brown, leather satchel with him.

Lewis Dodgson was the head of research for BioSyn, a genetics corporation that was a large competitor of InGen. He was in Costa Rica to meet with a man, named Dennis Nedry, whom he was able to turn from the inside.

As Dodgson walked to an outdoor restaurant patio, he spotted a portly man sitting at a table. It was Nedry. The man beckoned him to come over.

"Hey, Dodgson!"

Dodgson went over to the table and sat down.

"You shouldn't use my name."

Nedry pointed at him and said out to the other patrons, "Dodgson, Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here!"

None of the other customers paid him any attention.

Nedry said, "See? Nobody cares. Nice hat."

Nedry took the hat off Dodgson's head.

"What are you tryin' to look like? A secret agent?" Cutting to the point, Nedry asked, "Well?"

Dodgson said, "Seven hundred fifty dollars." He handed Nedry the satchel. "On delivery, five thousand more for each viable embryo."

Nedry chuckled to himself excitedly.

Dodgson continued, "That's seventy five thousand, seven hundred fifty, if you get all fifteen species off the island."

Still chucking, Nedry said, "Oh, I'll get them all."

Dodgson sternly said, "Remember, viable embryos. They're no use to us if they don't survive."

Nedry began coddling the satchel, "Oh! How am I supposed to transport them?"

Dodgson pulled out a metal thermos.

"The bottom screws open." Dodgson demonstrated. Nedry chucked excitedly.

"That's great! Oh my God."

Dodgson continued, "It's cooled and compartmentalized inside." Demonstrating the container the embryos would go in. This caused Nedry to squeal in delight.

"Oh, that's great!" Nedry said.

"Customs can even check it if they want too." Dodgson screwed the false bottom back on, and opened the lid of the thermos. Inside was a supply of iced tea.

"There is enough coolant to last 36 hours. The embryos have to be back here in San Jose by then."

Nedry said, "That's up to your guy on the boat. seven o' clock, tomorrow night on the east dock. Make sure he remembers it."

Dodgson asked, "How are you planning to beat security?"

Nedry replied, "Oh, I've got an eighteen minute window. Eighteen minutes, and your company catches up on ten years of research."

A waiter came up and placed a bill on the table, saying "Gracias senor."

Nedry looked down at the bill and then back at Dodgson.

"Don't get cheap on me Dodgson. That was Hammond's mistake."

Annoyed, Dodgson reached into his pocket for his wallet.
