Introduction:

"What once was, now is not"

The mid-1980's had brought about one of the most ecologically advanced cloning systems ever synthesized by a biogenetic company.
Cloning is a fairly new science that has been brought into the world. We have experienced major forwarding in the scientific field of genetically recreating what we thought had been long lost over the vast stretch of time. People were never quite ready for this type of power, because this power is unpredictable, and uncontrollable. Many scientists figure that if they have discovered and created something, then they can therefor control it. This is clearly a myth and no one can truly have a complete control. It's hard to understand why we can't seem to control some of the things that we do, and this may perhaps be because of this race we are all in. The race of us all competing against one another to make discoveries so we can take the fame and glory of our find. This need for attention and fame is what fuels our competitory minds. Everyone is constantly competing against one another for something, and we can't control this. This is what defines who we are.
A biogenetic corporation named Ingen INC, or International Genetic Technologies was that one company mentioned to have made that extreme leap into cloning. Many of us have seen what they have completed on some Tv news, and reports in papers. What InGen did was more than the world could handle for so early in this scientific time. The scientists merely did as they were told and never thought or questioned about the consequences which would eventually follow their discovery. Geneticists were more focused on trying to clone sheep during this time, let alone dinosaurs. This is what InGen did. They were in fact able to clone dinosaurs through out a series of sophisticated extractions of preserved DNA. The DNA was held with in a mosquito which was fossilized in amber. The scientists used extremely powerful super computers to break down the DNA sequences within minutes. They were therefor able to see where the incomplete codes were located in the sequences. Then using African frog DNA, they took what they needed and filled in the code. The computers processed extremely quickly, reading and breaking down the DNA and setting it correctly sequenced with in minutes. When the code finally read true, dinosaurs were able to come back into the world that they had left so long ago.
Things have changed greatly since the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Everything from the topography and geography of the land, to what our atmosphere is composed up of now. It's hard to understand how these near synthetic creatures were able to survive in our times, but they have. InGen was more than just in competition with other science labs because InGen was out to make these dinosaurs for a theme park. The whole International Genetic company was founded by John Alfred Hammond, a man with a big dream, and a very dangerous plan. He had this idea to build the most ecologically advanced theme parks that the world has ever seen. John purchased an island off the coast of Costa Rica called Isla Nublar. He was cautious about the idea and seemed to understand the dangers which lied within this project of his. The park itself was spared no expense, with everything from high voltage fencing, to movement sensor tracking systems, right down to a lysine dependency which the animals needed in order to survive. Hammond had left out nothing, and bought the latest in hi-tech equipment that money could buy. It was impossible for anything to ever go wrong with the park, so he thought. Until workers began to die. These incidences usually occurred when trying to get the adult dinosaurs into their holding pens and paddocks. John had left out the fact that these animals were unpredictable, and he was now seeing the problems which would face the opening of his park.
The major incident didn't occur until the late summer of 1992, when the park went under a safety inspection to relation of the death of a few of the workers. During that inspection the power was cut to the systems and the animals broke free from their fences. Though Hammond had tried with the help of his genetics team to restore power and control to the island it was already to late. Whatever made him think he had the right to control these animals was now smacking him back in the face. Over 15 people died throughout the whole InGen project from the mid-1980's to early 1990's. Later, InGen was taken from John Hammond. Four years since the park accident, Hammond sent a crew of researchers out to an island called Isla Sorna. It was the main InGen storing grounds for the dinosaurs. Its company name was Site-B, and island was rumored to have surviving dinosaurs on it after a hurricane took out the entire InGen facilities. Hammond wanted to find out why the dinosaurs had not died. Henry Wu, the chief geneticist of InGen, had genetically placed a lysine dependency in the animals, yet they continued to strive four years after the project was abandoned. The crew found out that apparently the island has soy beans and other lysine rich vegetation which the animals could eat. A second group mainly made up of many InGen researchers came to the island. Their goal was to bring dinosaurs back to the mainland for a secondary park which John Hammond had never finished. With so many people on the island, it would eventually lead to casualties. Over 23 people died on this trip and thereafter International Genetic Technologies filed chapter 11 in bankruptcy.
Throughout the years of which all this occurred, the Costa Rican government placed the island of Isla Sorna under a restriction zone. Though some people continued to end up on the island, many of them by mistake though. Other people don't seem to understand what the word "Restriction" means, and they go onto the island to find some dinosaurs. These obviously aren't the smartest of people, not comprehending the danger they were getting into, and they eventually learn from their mistakes. This only goes to show people that control is something we can never actually accomplish or keep hold of. No matter what we do, we are always going to try and beat someone else in the game of technological advancement. As for the island of Isla Sorna, people can go there and marvel at the awesome ecosystem that John Hammond and his crew of geneticists have made, but it doesn't mean they'll be getting off the island alive.

A/N: This is my first fanfic story based towards Jurassic Park. I'll probably be progressing at different rates with writing it, so don't get hasty with me. Anyway, I'm basically going to get the introduction and prologue up as separate chapters. I shall begin writing the main chapters fairly soon! So for now, please read and review the work that I have produced thus far. Thank you. - Steve ^_^;

DISCLAIMER: As many of you know, I am not Michael Crichton so therefor I don't own Jurassic Park. As mentioned, this story is a fan writing in to a novel produced by author, Michael Crichton. Any connections or similarities of which I may have made to one of his novels or anyone else are by accident. Credit given to Michael Crichton and Universal Studios. Please don't sue me for my writings. It's not like I'm making money off of them anyway. SO BACK OFF!
