Chapter Six – The Beginning of operation embryo

Nedry looked down at his watch. Almost six. Time to get moving. He took on last through the keyhole, it was one hell of frenzy in there, he looked at his watch dare he stay any longer, we wanted to by god he did, if he wasn't going to get laid, he might as well watch some other lucky bugger do it, even if it was Gennaro and, no he decided he didn't have enough time, He stood up and stalked off, down the corridor heading for the control room, his consol was just as he left it, the control room was fairly empty, a few technicians but nothing to worry about, waddling over to his computer he moved the mouse and looking around a final time, hit the program to start Operation Embryo, the button entitled simply EXUCUTE, as he did so a stopwatch appeared, he had 18 minutes and it was going fast, he had to work quickly, heading for the genetics lab. He knew Wu and the others would be off for their dinner in the café now, so he headed over to the lab. Along the way, he was careful to avoid the few security cameras that buzzed above him. Entering the lab he walked swiftly to the Cold storage, "5,4,3,2,1" the was a hiss of air, as the seal of the lock broke, the cameras also stopped moving and everything he now did, no-one would ever see, He pulled up the cold storage cylinders cold air rushed past him, unscrewing the top on the shaving cream, he carefully place a embryo in each slot, when he had all 15, he replaced the cylinders into the cold storage and screwed up the top, that was the easy bit her thought, the hard bit was getting to the east dock unseen.
There was one gas powered jeep left, he flung in the shaving cream, and climbed in, we roared the engine and hurtled out of the garage and down the road, to the east dock.

After a couple of minutes he was wondering where everyone was, the road to the east dock was deserted, no sound of a boat, or men, he was certain he was going the right way, all the signs were pointing to the east dock, he could see the east dock ahead, there was no boat, it was silent, where was the boat, was he late, he looked at his watch, just after six, 10 minutes left, Dennis started to panic, a huge sign, an official notice started to loom in front of him, he slowed as he reached it.

JURASSIC PARK.
CONSTUCTION NOTICE.

DUE TO IMPORTANT AND NESSACERY REPAIRS TO THE EAST DOCK, ALL BOATS WILL NOW DOCK AND UNLOAD AT THE WEST DOCK ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM HERE ON THE MAINTANINCE ROAD.

SIGNED

Robert Muldoon.

Damn Dennis thought to himself, he had less than 10 minutes to play with, it would take him that long to get there, he would have to go quickly.
The maintenance road was fairly straight and he quickly reached 60 miles per hour, he quickly had to serve to avoid maintenance vehicles, he didn't have any time to swear at them back, he reached the west dock in 8 minutes, just enough time to hand over the embryos get his money and drive back to the control centre before the cameras came back to life. He just hoped he could get back in time before the fences shut down. Christ, he didn't like the idea of driving around this place with the power out.

Muldoon headed down to the garage. He had received word from Arnold that the Rex was agitated and circling near the fence. She needed calming down.

Tranq rifle on one shoulder, he mused over the problem. He would probably just hit her with one dart with maybe five hundred ccs of tranq, just enough to slow her down. The Rex didn't concern Muldoon. She was placid enough as long as she was left to her own devices. She was even shy at times, especially the day. But perhaps the parental duty of caring for the new youngster that wasn't actually hers was agitating her. No, the Rex wasn't too much of a problem. The Raptors were the real danger.

He sighed, exasperated and entered the garage.
"What the hell?"
One of the jeeps was missing.

No one had been authorized to borrow a jeep. Angrily, Muldoon leapt into another one and drove off, following the tire tracks on the muddy floor.

He barked into his radio, "Arnold, Raptor king, anyone there? Jeep missing from garage. Following trail, but first I need to deal with the Rex", he looked overhead and noticed on a pylon that the lights were flashing more rapidly than usual, indicating a potential power cut, "And get that idiot Nedry to take a look at the power. Christ, if the fences go out the Rex could get free. I'll deal with her first".

A garbled reply came, "Roger that ldoon".

Muldoon swore and drove off.

Nedry drove like a madman down the mud track. It was getting late. Brown, thick mud splashed into the air as he drove on, and the rain fogged up the windscreen. He couldn't see a damn thing.

There was a shuddering crash and Nedry surged forward. His neck ached and his arms hurt. He flicked off the ignition and wiped the window clear to see what he had hit.

One of the power pylons for a Dinosaur paddock loomed over him. He could see the dense foliage behind the cables and a leathery hide.

Leathery hide?
He stared and saw it, seven tonnes of Tyrannosaurus. It looked startled, nervous almost, as it stared at the source of the crash it had heard. It snorted and shook its head.

Nedry gasped as one huge hind limb ripped down the cables in an instant. The Rex leapt, leapt, onto the road. The earth shuddered under its power and weight. It roared once, load and terrifying, and Nedry felt warmth spreading through his trousers. He'd wet himself.

Then the Rex was gone, heading off down the road the way he had come, the earth shuddering under each footfall. It was so goddamn fast!

Hardly daring to breath, Nedry slowly looked at the torn paddock and saw the baby Rex, squeaking after its adopted mother. It looked like she had gone off to hunt for them.

Nedry slowly turned the ignition key and the car chugged back to life. Relieved, he reversed and then drove off, heading for the dock. He could make it yet, as long as he hurried.
He looked at his watch, damn, it must have smashed in the crash, he didn't know how much time he had left, but the fences were down, because the t-rex was now out, which means he was late, driving as fast as he could and constantly looking over his shoulder for the t-rex he eventually reached the west dock, Dodgson was there waiting for him, he ran up to Dennis " You have them I presume" he was excited, " Hand over 1.5 million and you can have the embryos" said Dennis, Dodgson bent down and picked up a large briefcase, he flicked it open, it was packed full of money, he closed it and handing it to Dennis " Very good Dodgson, you are good to your word" Dennis extracted the shaving cream cylinder " 15 species as asked, nice doing business with you Dodgson" Dodgson turned and headed back towards the boat, Dennis kicked the jeep back into life.
