As the train pulled up to the station, Ian Malcolm walked up into the train and sat down. A day earlier, John Hammond had called him from his estate in New York.
As the train chugged along the tracks, Malcolm found a seat and sat down.
A man in an overcoat snapped his fingers, trying to get Malcolm's attention. Malcolm had no idea who the man was, and he did not want to know. Malcolm was not a very popular man in the public eye. The man came over and sat in the seat next to him. Malcolm picked up a newspaper and tried to ignore him.
"You're him, right?" The man said.
"Excuse me?" Malcolm said.
"The scientist? The guy? I read about you in the paper." The man explained.
Malcolm knew exactly what the guy meant. Four years earlier, there had been a horrific incident on a remote island off the coast of Costa Rica. Malcolm was one of the survivors. John Hammond, the CEO of a company called InGen had "artificially revived" dinosaurs and intended to create a park. When the power shut down, the animals had escaped. Three people were killed, one was missing. Only six people survived, though there were rumors other people had been on the island as well. While everybody had signed nondisclosure agreements, Malcolm broke silence and went to the press to tell his eyewitness account. InGen denied the rumors, and Malcolm was seen as a laughing stock, nearly costing him his job. For all intensive purposes the Isla Nublar Incident never "happened".
"I believed you." The man said. After a small pause, the man mimicked a dinosaur head with his hands, and imitated a roar.
Malcolm stared at the man, and then turned as he saw a few women staring at him. They scoffed and turned their heads.
