"Ugh..." Maisie had to squint so her eyes could adjust to the bright lights beaming down in her face, trying in vain to move around and get a view of where she actually was. Her advanced senses seemed to be tripping in a panic all at once, which only made her "No... come on... come on! UGH!"

The tight leather straps around her wrists, ankles and chest seemed to indicate that she was restrained to an operating table of some kind, and the lights shining into her eyes were actually coming from a surgical lamp that was positioned from the ceiling. After a few seconds of this continued struggling, Maisie eventually decided to calm down and rest back on the table, finally managing to get a better view of her surroundings.

The spotless, pearl-white office reminded her of a dentist's room, though the table on her right that displayed fossilised bones and half-dissected animal corpses seemed more like something out of a high school biology class. On her left was a smaller table, one covered in an array of sharp surgery tools that would definitely not be used in safer, more legal operations. Perhaps a couple of Tesla coils would have managed to convince Maisie that was merely being imprisoned in the laboratory from an old-school Frankenstein movie, but the lack of those more cartoonish elements unfortunately kept her grounded in the reality that she was, indeed, soon to be taken apart in some horrifying and painful manner.

"I tried my best to keep your stay here as comfortable as possible." a somewhat familiar voice from behind the operating table said, which caused Maisie's head to snap up as far back as it could go. The man the voice belonged to was also familiar.

"You know who I am, Miss Lockwood?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, prompting Maisie to calmly nod.

"You're Dr. Henry Wu... you used to work for my grandfather." a scowl crossed her face as her next words came out with a guttural snarl. "And Mills..."

"Well really, I like to think I worked with Mills, not for him." Wu's smugness started to falter as he paused for a moment. "But I will say that I'm very pleased, and extremely honoured, to have you here, Maisie..."

Maisie wasn't putting up with this kind of patronising flattery, being blunt and getting straight to the point as she spoke. "What do you want with me?"

"Hmm... well, since the park reopened on Nublar I spent years trying to improve and advance my genetic research." WU went to a large glass case in the corner and put his hand to it. "My hypothesis was that... if we successfully crossed and fused the DNA of a dinosaur with that of a human being, then we'd be able to produce an entirely new genus of creature... combining their raw strength and power with our advanced intellect and empathy... the best of both worlds..."

"You're insane..."

"Well admittedly, my work has hit quite a few... learning curves."

The door on the large case began to slowly open as Wu turned it around for Maisie to see. When she saw what it was Maisie could feel her eyes almost bulge out of her skull as her breath stilled in her already tightened throat.

The ice in the casing had clearly managed to keep the corpse from decaying over the three years, which allowed the jet black demon of Hell to look almost as vicious and alive as it had been during it's rampage at Lockwood Manor. It's claws and teeth were still as sharp as they were when it crept towards her in the bed that night, and the sick, twisted smile was still etched onto it's cold, dead face.

"The Indominus was a flawed prototype, and the Indoraptor was a... well, perhaps would have worked in a better environment..." Wu re-encased the remains of the impaled Indoraptor, before looking back to Maisie. "But then I found out Lockwood made you."

Maisie had to resist the urge to attempt an escape again, knowing that she'd just hurt herself if she struggled anymore against her restraints, but she was clenching her fists as Wu came closer to her, kneeling down so they were now face-to-face. "Lockwood was simply a man broken by grief, and he just wanted to bring back his daughter... but he had no idea what he'd done when he created you."

Maisie felt the scowl tightening her face again as she glared piercingly at Wu, who wasn't alarmed in the slightest as he leaned closer. "It's gonna take a little work, of course, but I believe that you just might be the missing link in my theory..."

She thought for a moment about this as she glanced towards the tools on her left, turning back to Wu as she said "I take it you don't intend for me to live through this..."

"Well if you don't, you'll have a perfectly good spot hanging on my wall..." Maisie's head snapped up again as she looked towards the doorway, where Karla was standing casually with her sunglasses on. She smugly smiled at the growl that Maisie was making under her breath, taking off her shades as she stood over the girl.

"It's probably better this way..." Karla stroked the spines on Maisie's head with a patronising tone in her voice. "You're either going to contribute to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of mankind's history, or you'll be the perfect centrepiece of my wonderful collection... far better alternatives than walking around in public as a freak, wouldn't you say?"

Karla had just about said her bit, casually turning towards the doorway again before Maisie spoke up. "You're wrong..."

She froze in her tracks as she heard this, turning back to the young girl with a raised eyebrow as Wu also sat back curiously. "Come again...?"

"I said you're wrong, you both are!" Maisie looked sternly to them both, having finally found a much-needed burst of confidence. "I'm not a freak, I'm not a trophy, and I'm not your stupid little labrat! My name is Maisie Lo... UGH!"

Maisie's speech, which she'd been piecing together in her head since around the same time Wu started talking, was cut short as the room began to violently shake and shudder, as if it were directly hit by an earthquake or a tsunami. SCREEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCHHHHH!

"ARGH!" The force that had hit the carrier was causing the entire room to tilt on it's side, sending both Wu and Karla into the wall on the right as the Indoraptor's casing shattered and the corpse flopped lifelessly onto the ground. Maisie bit her bottom lip hard as the operating table stayed bolted to the floor, causing the restrains to get even tighter on her to the point where she felt her hands and feet becoming blue with the pressure.

It took a few moments for the room and ship to stop shaking, though the balance was still extremely unstable as Karla struggled back to her feet and propped herself up against the wall behind her. She brushed her hair out of her eyes and clutched the cut that had been made on the side of her face, looking to the doorway as she shouted "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE?!"

"Miss Sealy!" Kingston burst into the room as Karla and Wu turned to her. Her face and clothes were soaked to the skin and her breath was heavy yet quick, panting with a struggle to say something else.

"Well...?" Karla had her hands on her hips and an annoyed scowl on her face as she straightened herself back up. "What was that?"

Kingston was still trying to get her breath back, stuttering as she stretched out her arms clumsily. "B... b-big... it... it's a giant..."

"Well come on, spit it out!"

"It's a fucking Mososaurus!"
