Chapter 7: Returning a Favor
"Mr. Lewis, sir. My name is Scott Matthews from BioSyn. I would like to ask what is it that you can confirm about the accident that happened the day you three arrived with the Spinosaurus fossil?", asks and Interviewer.
Cameras flash on the the trio's face, but Andrea's eyes widen, almost as if she knows something that the other two do not. But, Robert answers, "Well, I can at least say this. Nobody was killed, but it was close". Andrea let out a quick sigh of relief.
Another reporter asks, "Now Mr. Murphy, were you successful with receiving this data you planned to collect from the dinosaurs?"
Tim responds, "Yes, I was able to collect information from 30 species and I am surprised to say that there were not many herbivores in North America in the middle of the Cretaceous period".
"Thank you. Now Ms. Edwards, could you please tell us about your experience in the world 100 million years ago?"
Andrea hesitantly replies while glancing at the BioSyn reporter,"Well, there was definitely a lot of seismic activity and like Tim said, there were many carnivores. And this made it very difficult for us to survive".
The final reporter asks,"Do you have anything further you would like to say?"
Andrea decides to speak again with more confidence.
"Tim and I have discussed this and we think that Robert here, deserves all the credit". Robert's eyes grow wide and he looks at the other two. Tim then adds,"Yes, he really helped us all with his innovative technology that made it less complicated of a journey. Let's give him a round of applause". Tim and Andrea clap their hands as well as the audience at the press conference. Robert shyly responds, "No, thank you, but no. We each deserve the credit. If it wasn't for Tim and Andrea's courage and intellect, I probably would not have made it out alive". The audience claps even louder as the President of InGen awards the trio with gold InGen medallions and plaques for themselves.
"I would like to commend these three who took on this task to retrieve the Spinosaurus aegypticus. Their contributions to the mission has given us the opportunity to once again feel like a kid who lays their eyes on a full-scale dinosaur skeleton for the first time. The original Spinosaurus aegypticus skeleton was destroyed in an allied air raid in the Deutsches Museum of Munich, Germany during World War II and it was survived by the plaster models. But with this fossil obtained by Robert Lewis, Andrea Edwards, and Tim Murphy, we are able to bring back a valuable piece of discovering our past. This will conclude our Press Conference, so thank you all for coming. Good night".
