C10: Alert!

xxx Embryonics Administration and Labratories Compound xxx

Alarms were flashing on the screens of the monitors. Dr. Wu had barely been here longer then five minutes before the alarm. He had arrived to conduct the weekly examination. Ever since his private research backer had expressed their discontent with his old procedures. Especially with it leding to the escape of their investment, the Archaeodontodraco Rex. Dr. Wu had seriously stepped up the protocols. Personal visits were weekly instead of monthly now. Plus there was a constant status feed sent to his Isla Nublar office.

The Embroyonics Administration and Labratories Compound had been constructed back in the mid 1980s. Back when Hammond first developed the idea of an island resort rather San Diego. The purpose of this place would be mass embroyonic development. While the minature labs on Isla Nublar would be, and still is, something to show the tourists. So they could get an basic understanding of how dinosaurs were brought back from extinction. While here on Isla Sorna, this compound would be the factory floor where the real magic would happen.

The compound itself had been abandoned in late 1993. Hurricane Clarissa had through devestated this compound and the old worker village. In 1997 not only were they there to capture animals for Peter Ludlow's idea of opening Jurassic Park: San Deigo. The board was also interested in seeing if the facilities could be rehabilitated to functioning status. Obviously ending in disaster when most of the team and Ludlow himself were killed on the expedition. They tried again in 1999 when InGen had finalized its sale to Masrani Global.

Masrani had wished for proof of concept that the facility could repaired and repowered. As well as producing animals for a new iteration of the park. They had succeeded easily and during the course of the next nine months, business looked like it would return to normal. Money, however, became a big problem fast. And with no real investors to speak of yet. The compound was abandoned once more.

Finally in early 2004 they had everything in place. A team led by Vic Hoskins stormed the compound to retake from the island once and for all. Upon reenter, they quickly discovered the area had been overrun by a large pack of his 1999 experimental velociraptors. The fighting had been fierce with the animals causing many casulties to the team. After a few weeks of thorough extermination, resulting in the pack reduced by almost nintey percent, the compound had been retaken and reconstruction could begin again. With the only disturbing not being the discovery of human remains within the compound that post-dated the 1999 abandonment.

Dr. Wu moved from the entrance way towards his master control station. The room was a smaller layout of master control on Isla Nublar. Three rows of computer desks for a total of six computer stations took the majority of space. His private office at the back of the room. Along the walls various monitors and screen projection were displayed on the walls.

Main projection was a map of the island. Its jagged misshapen triangle appearance recognizable anywhere. In the lower southeastern corner was where the alert was coming from. In an area called White Wood. White wood was a special section of the island. It made the perfect home for the smaller dinosaurs. Its natural rock plateus made it difficult for human size or larger animals to enter. The only way to enter was a narrow pathway from White Wood's northwest side. Since they used helicopters to hunt and gather the animals now. The path had become completely overgrown. However since a large predator ran the risk of entering and destroying the fragile ecosystem of the little animals. It was also the only place on Sorna that employed a net of motion trackers.

"Status?" Dr. Wu asked the technician stationed at the first desk.

"Dr. Wu," the woman replied. "The second level motion sensors in White Wood have been tripped."

"Second level? Is it the accident or a rex?"

The lady quickly pressed a few keys. The screen responded by displaying a list of code names with their corresponding dots on the name. None were listed to be within White Wood. "No sir. Sp1 and Trx 1 to Trx 5 are still listed within their respective territories."

Wu glanced over to the codename: Sp1. Sp1 had promised so much, yet bore such little fruit. It had been created in 1999 as apart of that nine month period. When the testing ended, the animal was simply released. Along with all of their other tests. When they had returned in 2004 the animal was on their list for recapture. Unfortunately, something had snapped in its mind. The animal was extremely aggresive, bordering on reckless. There was substantial evidence to show it had even attacked and killed a few Tyrannosaurs. Though it should be noted that they were young, not full grown. Now it just seemed to roam the area directly south from here.

"There is something else," the lady stated. "There appears to be a human sized dinosaur in close company to the second level animal."

"Really?" Wu asked. "Any idea of animal classification by cross referencing the satellite silhouette with the database of known island animals?"

"One second sir," she pressed more button. Causing the projection to pull up more screens. With the silhouette of the mystery animal on the left and a scrolling list of profiles on the right. The technician began to shift through the complete list of island animals to try and find what these animals were. After a few seconds no positive matches had been made. "No cross reference match doctor. Species unknown, also no GPS tracker has been installed."

"No tracker? That's interesting." Wu was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "What is the current direction of the second level animal?"

"Current motion tracking has the animal slowly heading west. Chances appear to be good that it will leave White Wood via the path."

"Excellent, hopefully we won't lose to many subjects. Keep me posted with regulary updates to my office. I will contact the ACU to arrange a mssion within the next hour."

Without even waiting for the lady to reply Wu had quickly turned towards his office. This one was dressed the same as his lab on Isla Nublar. With the exception being the dual computer monitors. A progress bar was show on the screen listed at ninety-nine percent. It was labeled 'Project A75'. Sitting down at the desk he quickly grabbed the phone to call Hoskins. After a few rings, he got an answer.

"This is Hoskins." A male sounded through the speaker.

"Hoskins, this is Wu." The doctor spoke. "I have a job for you and your men."

"Can this wait doctor?" The voice sounded somewhat annoyed. "I just finished interviewing some friend of Grady. Grady recommended him to come help with our IBRIS project. Hopefully we will get some results now. Anyways I was just about to head to lunch."

"I'm afraid it can't wait Hoskins. It's the Archeao, I believe we finally found it." Was Wu's response before leaning back in his chair. "I need everything you can spare. It was spotted in White Wood. The motion sensors have it headed to the pathway, Right into The Meadow where the Tiger Raptor pack like to roam."

The line remained silent for a moment. Followed by the sounds of stuff being shifted around. After a few moments, Hoskins spoke again. "I can get two Sorna ACU teams, a skycrane and a recon RV team over to you in roughly ninety minutes."

"Very good Mr. Hoskins. Wu out." Wu leaned back again in his chair after ending his call. Soon he would have his client's asset back within the confines of its new holding cell. Deep within the restricted section of Nublar where it would wait for its buyer to come and evaluate it. They would get their dinosaur. While he made a killing in finacial aid to further his other hybrid projects.

A beep from the screen in front of him drew his attention back to the screen. Sitting forward, Wu spotted the screen displaying a new message. 'Status Update: A75 Genome Complete. Ready to Proceed.' Wu couldn't believe, after all the failed attempts in trying to surpass his client's genentic masterpiece. He had finally succeeded and was ready to breed an animal entirely of his own design and creation. He quickly began to press the corresponding buttons to begin fertilization and incubation.

On the second screen it showed two cylindrical eggs sitting in an incubation pod. A long robotic arm reached out from the wall. A long needle posed at the end of the arm. With the precision only a machine can have. The needle pierced the two eggs one at at time. Injecting them with Dr. Wu's new dinosaur. Now, in just six short weeks, two of his greatest creations would hatch. And a new era will dawn. With him in control.
