The Kennel Building, Oasis Base, 2028
The elevator doors opened up onto the Stealth floor, and the team steps out. They step out onto a reinforced concrete hall with synthetic vine creeping up the wall. The team walks to the door to the Shadowed Jungle. The door is thick, metal and rectangular, with three layers of interlacing steel bars. "Why is it so heavily guarded," asked Ryujina. "The stealth dinos try to escape quite frequently. Also, one of the deadliest things the scientists have cooked up on this island lies behind that door," said Colonel Mayllard. Phoenix sniffed the air and bolted back to the elevator. Ryujina hesitantly walked up to the door and scanned her hand. "Handprint matched. Ryujina Wolhakhi." The bars slid into the frame one layer at a time. The door slowly slid open, and Ryujina stepped inside alone.
The inside of the room really was a jungle, the enormous height of the kapok trees towering over Ryujina, blocking out the artificial sun, and almost touching the ceiling of the room. The air in the room is humid, and the sounds of birds, monkeys, and other jungle creatures fills the air. Ryujina felt like she was being watched. She didn't like this, so she pulled a Bowie knife out of its sheath on her belt, just in case. The attack was silent, and it came extremely quick. A large blur ran and tackled her to the ground. She looked up at what tackled her. It was large, about 8 feet tall and about as long as a male orca. Its snout was strange. Its snout had small pointed teeth in the front, then a strange "notch" in the jaw, and past that notch were longer. Beginning from its nostrils and ending over its eyes were rounded reddish-orange crests, edged by black scales. Its eyes are a kaleidoscope of red, orange, and gold, which are hypnotic to look at. Its scales are a dark tan color, with large black blotches ringed with blue splattered across its body. It has a cobra-like frill on the sides of its neck, puffing it out to make it seem bigger. Its breath is horrid, and it makes her feel faint. She hears the Colonel yelling, "Don't inhale its breath! It's the most potent toxin in the world!" This panicked Ryujina, and she held her nose and breath. She began to hum a melody to keep from freaking out. The dinosaur standing over her was puzzled. As she hummed, the dinosaur's crests changed to an icy bluish-purple, and it let her stand. She petted between its crests, and it trills happily. "I pick this one," says Ryujina. Two keepers in biohazard suits appeared and led it into a similar room that Winston's partner was led into. The group walked over to the window, and the screen lit up. It scanned the dino and began to inform the group about it. "Name: Dilophosaurus. Gender: female. Length: 23 feet. Height: 8 feet. Weight: 1100 lbs. Original era of residence: Early Jurassic period. This dinosaur's DNA gaps were filled with a mix of inland taipan, Indochinese spitting cobra, and blue ringed octopus DNA, giving it the most potent and lethal venom in the world. The venom itself is a cocktail of neurotoxins, myotoxins, hemotoxins, hyaluronidase enzyme, cytotoxins, and tetrodotoxins. When an enemy is bitten or spat at, symptoms include pain, swelling, motor and total paralysis, blindness, necrosis, respiratory and cardiac arrest, and extremely swift and painful death. Is this your choice, Intermediate Officer Ryujina Wolhakhi?" "Yes," she responded, "and I'll name it Itami-No-Doragon." "What the hell does that mean," asked Bones. "Pain Dragon," replied Ryujina. Ryujina typed in her team callsign. One single word; Stinger.
The team got back into the elevator and headed to the surface floor, which was the herbivorous Titan floor. The carnivorous ones were kept farther underground. This floor constantly shook, as the biggest dinosaurs on the island lay just beyond the door. They went towards the door, and Wilhelm stepped forward. He scanned his hand, and the door opened to a bunch of the biggest dinosaurs they had seen yet. Their heads were above the trees, so the team couldn't see them. The group followed Wilhelm as he climbed up the ladder on the tree. When they reached the top, they couldn't believe their eyes. Hundreds of these dinosaurs' heads were above the trees, using their impossibly long necks to bring their heads down to the tops of the trees to eat. The heard a massive crack and a crunching noise above them. They looked up and saw the biggest of all these sauropods. Its head leaned down towards Wilhelm and nudged his entire body. Wilhelm almost fell out of the tree. He got up and laughed. "I think this one likes me," he said. They looked at it. It was a beautiful and massive creature. Its head was an oblong shape, with soft green eyes. Its scales were a dark gray, mottled with dark greens and blues. Its body was as big as a house, and its tail was 30 feet long. "I'll take it," Wilhelm said as he and the team climbed down. He walked up to the window computer. It scanned the titanosaur on the other side of the glass, and it began to spout information about the creature. "Name: Dreadnoughtus. Gender: male. Shoulder Height: 2 stories. Length: 85 feet. Weight: 130,800 lbs. Original Age of Residence: Late Cretaceous Era. This dinosaur was not genetically modified in any way. Its thickly muscled tail was and is used to defend against the few predators it had. Is this your choice, IO Wilhelm Haiburg?" "Yes," Wilhelm answered, "and I will name it Koloss." For the callsign, Wilhelm wanted a name that NERO would fear. A name that would crush them. He typed "MJOLNIR" in the box. The team headed back to the elevator again, ready for the next choice.
The next floor was the Breaker floor. The entire hall is made out of steel. The circular metal door is heavily dented. Bones was excited to choose. "I've seen some weird shit in Australia, but nothing like this," he shouted excitedly. "I suggest you be careful in there," said Mayllard, " they're bigger than you, they're heavily armored, and they may crush or impale you if you piss them off. Have fun." The door opened, and Bones walked inside.
The room was a lakeside meadow. Surrounding the lake are many kinds of armored dinosaurs. Some of them Bones knew; Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus; the others he didn't know. One of them caught his eye. It stood about ten feet tall, but low to the ground, on four legs, and was 15 feet long. Its scales are dark purple with blood red blotches. It has many spikes; about twenty on the sides of its body to its tail, fifteen others jutting up on the top of its body. It also has many smaller spikes on its tail, and there are bony knobs on its backside before its tail. Its head was somewhat flat, the top of its head covered in thick skin. Its snout was beaked; it was a plant eater. It had small, brown eyes, which led Bones to believe that it was nearsighted. It looked at him and snorted. Bones picked up a tall, leafy horsetail plant, picked up some more and put them in his pockets, and walked towards the dinosaur. It sniffed the plant, then ate it. The dinosaur walked towards Bones, sniffing to see if he had any more horsetail. Bones handed it to the dinosaur, and it munched with delight. The dinosaur nudged his arm, and Bones patted its hard head. "I'll take this one, " said Bones. He walked out of the room and up to the glass. The computer began spouting the facts. " Name: Gastonia. Gender: female. Height: 10 feet. Length: 15 feet. Weight: 1 ton. Original Age of Residence: Early Cretaceous. As with all Breaker dinos, their skin is genetically modified to be bulletproof. Also, this specific specimen has a genetic compound that strengthens the leg and back muscles, allowing it a little more running speed and back strength." Bones named it "Adnoartina", the mythical lizard that guards Uluru in Aboriginal mythology. He typed in "Uluru" as the callsign.
Next was the Navy floor. The team stepped out of the elevator into the hall. The hall was made of black granite, and the walls were windowed. On the outside of the windows was the ocean, filled with coral, kelp, and many different types of prehistoric sea creatures. Tré walked up to the circular door. On the door was a golden nautilus with a large golden anchor behind it. "I hope you're ready to swim," said Mayllard, "because you're about to enter the Fish Tank, alone. Try not to get eaten or drown." Before Tré stepped into the airlock, Mayllard handed him a rebreather and a military-grade scuba mask. Tré stepped into the airlock, and was sucked into the water. Tré swam around in the water, trying to find an aqua. He noticed an interesting creature slowly swimming toward him. It was 49 feet long, and had four paddle-like fins. It had a serpentine body, with a fluked tail, and scales that glowed, literally glowed, with multiple shades of blue, allowing camouflage in deep ocean environs. Its head and snout are vaguely cylindrical and crocodile-like, with nostrils positioned near its eyes. Its dull yellow eyes stare at him, trying to decide whether he was friend or food. The creature swims in circles around him. Tré is prepared to dive just in case this massive creature attacks. The creature swims forward, jaws open, revealing its sharp teeth. In the back of its mouth, near its throat, were a set of sharp palatal teeth. He saw this and froze. If he didn't dodge this gigantic creature, he was fucked. He dove down just in time, as the creature attacked. He looked at its underside, and noticed that there is a sea urchin stuck to its stomach. That's what was pissing it off. It was in pain. He swam up to it and removed it. The giant creature whirled around and stared him in the face. It then made a sound that sounded like a mix of whalesong and a squirrel chittering, then it licked him. He swam with it back to the airlock and got in. He walked to the window computer, and the computer began to spout info. "Name: Tylosaurus. Length: 49 feet. Weight: 20 tons. Gender: Female. Original Age of Residence: Late Cretaceous. This specimen is engineered with multiple types of jellyfish DNA, giving it a form of bioluminescence that gives it visual camouflage in the ocean." Tre named it "Scylla". For his callsign, he typed in "Whirlpool". The team stepped into the elevator, and as they did, the colonel spoke, saying, "After going to get the other two members' dinos, we get to witness Nicolas picking a ptero up at the Bluffs. That will be extremely exciting!"
