Chapter 3: Jurassic Planet Laboratories
The Doctor, Claire, and her sister Karen walked down the road through the jungle under the bright green sky. Their destination was the large glass pyramid at the end of the road that had "Jurassic Planet Laboratories" printed in large letters. On both sides of the road were tall trees and dense green vegetation. They didn't hear any animals or aliens around. Perhaps any dinosaurs or whatever creatures were meant to inhabit this park had not been put there yet. Claire certainly thought that was good. The goal was to shut this place down before it could ever open. Claire did not want another repeat of Jurassic World with the Indominus Rex.
"Where are all the dinosaurs?" The Doctor asked.
"Hopefully they haven't been grown yet." Claire said. "If we get into that lab in time, we can stop them from ever recreating them."
"Doctor." Karen said. "What is your experience with dinosaurs? Have you visited Jurassic World?"
"Oh yes." The Doctor said. "I went with my wife the first day it opened."
"You have a time machine." Claire said. "Why not go back to the actual Jurassic period and look at dinosaurs?"
"Oh I have." The Doctor said. "I wanted to see how you managed to recreate them in the twenty first century. Amy, Rory, and I also encountered them on a spaceship in the twenty fourth century."
"You're life is insane." Karen said with a smile. "I can't believe you do this every day."
"It's not as glamorous as it sounds." The Doctor said.
"Do you know of anyone in all your time traveling that would want to restart Jurassic World?" Claire asked.
"Probably." The Doctor said. "I've met plenty of twisted people and creatures more dangerous than you can imagine."
"I just want to know what to expect when we get in there." Claire said.
"I don't know." The Doctor said. "It'll be a surprise. It's more fun that way."
The trio kept walking until they came to the doors of the glass pyramid. Not surprisingly, they were locked. So, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to open them. Claire and Karen wondered how many more surprises he had up his sleeve. The three of them walked inside. Claire was surprised to find that this building looked exactly like the inside of Jurassic World. There were pictures and statues of dinosaur skeletons everywhere. However, the lights were all off and there was no one in sight.
"You said the park isn't open yet." Claire said. "Someone should still be here. If this place is anything like the original, then the lab should be downstairs."
Claire almost instinctively led the Doctor and her sister through the halls until she found a staircase that led downstairs. Once they descended down the stairs, the three of them came into a large room that was clearly a laboratory. There were all sorts of shelves, tubes, and utensils scattered about various tables. Claire noted that it looked almost the exact same as the old Jurassic World labs. This certainly was strange. Suddenly, a man with an eye patch and a white lab coat walked in from the other side of the room and walked in until he was only a few feet away from them.
"Who are you people?" The man asked.
"Are you in charge here?" Claire asked.
"No." He replied. "My name is Dr. Bear. I work here, but I'm not in charge. The park is not open yet. Without any proper identification, I'll have to ask you to leave."
"I'm the Doctor." The Time Lord replied.
Dr. Bear suddenly fell silent.
"Doctor." Dr. Bear said. "You're early. You can't be here yet. The park isn't ready."
"What do you mean?" Karen asked.
"Are you building this park for me?" The Doctor asked.
"I've said too much." Dr. Bear said.
"What happened to your eye?" The Doctor asked. "Why are you wearing that eye patch?"
"It's not an eye patch." Dr. Bear replied.
The Doctor suddenly realized who he was dealing with. He glanced at his palm and found that five black tally marks had been drawn on his skin.
"When did those get there?" Claire asked.
"I drew them on and then I forgot." The Doctor said. "I know who built this place."
Suddenly, the door behind them opened and in walked Madame Kovarian followed by two of the Silence.
"Hello Doctor." Madame Kovarian said. "Things certainly just got interesting."
