"What to do?"
"This man, Victor Hoskins, sounds rather interesting."
"He was promoted to the head of Ingen's Private Security thanks to his efforts in dealing with a certain issue in the wake of the 2001 incident on Isla Sorna. The Pteranodon family that flew away from the island had nested up in Canada and were terrorizing the countryside. He successfully led a team of men in and exterminated them."
"Hmmm. Do you have his number by any chance? I just…want to keep a close eye on him. He strikes me as ambitious, but also someone who might be of use in the future."
"Sure. He has already outlined several successful advances in the security system. He is professional and is also a great source of military knowledge. The park is much safer thanks to his presence. He made quite the impression to Simon Mazrani."
The phone call ended. "I like this man a lot. All the same, he could become a little ambitious or begin to forget his place if he is showered with too much praise or lavished with favors. Yet he does not sound like a man that would fit the idea of a park. If things happen to change, then he might be just the man to help lead the company into the future and keep it alive. Everything changes, while some things never do."
. . . . .
"How did you get this number?"
"I have ways Mr. Hoskins. Let us just say that the company board, and my own interests, are aligned with the profit and the future. You might be able to help us in case…well let us just say that you could have a hand in shaping the future. Would you be interested in keeping contact with me if something happens? I noted the mistakes of the past and wish to stay ahead of any 'calamities' that might befall."
"So, all those fancy words are to say that you want to know when things fall apart? Big flippin' deal. This place is a joke after all these years. We got a program that has linking in secret to the military. Nobody really gets that the park is being given money by the military. In other words, this place now has the right to share with the big bad shield of the world anything that promises to change the game. War is simply where things are at. Everybody secretly wants it whether they believe it or not."
"I happen to be concerned with where the money is. Technically, I am not connected with the board of the Masrani Foundation, but ever since Ingen was saved by being absorbed into the man's company, I have seen things hang on the precipice. Interest seems to be waning."
"That's cause today's generation doesn't care for cheap thrills."
"Yes well, in any case, just tell me if anything unusual should come up."
"You got it."
