Finally, the team landed on Isla Sorna. The convoy, with Eddie driving the housecar and Nick and Malcolm following in the Chevy Suburbans. The group found a clearing near a cliff which allowed the mobile radio telephone to get a signal.
The group trekked through the northen forests of Sorna in their search for Sarah Harding.
"I built a location device into Dr. Harding's mobile radio telephone." Eddie said. "It emits a small dose of radiation, and I can track it with a Geiger-Muller counter, so we should be getting a reading."
"Yeah, I'm so relieved." Malcolm said sarcastically. Malcolm wielded the MAS-36.
"Don't push my buttons, will ya? I'm warning you for the last time." Eddie said.
"The clicking is getting faster." Malcolm said, interrupting him. "She should be right around here."
Nick saw a rucksack and case laying by a small stream. "Over-Over there."
The trio rushed over to the rucksack. Malcolm saw a hole in it, and found the mobile radio telephone had been closed up.
"Sarah!" Malcolm yelled.
"Sarah!" Nick yelled too.
"Sarah!" Malcolm yelled again.
"Sarah Harding!" Nick yelled.
"How many Sarahs do you think are on this island?" Malcolm asked sarcastically. "Sarah!"
"Sarah!" yelled again.
"Sa-" Malcolm began to yell, but he was cut-off by a rustling noise.
Eddie walked down the creek bed towards the noise. Malcolm and Nick followed.
"What?" Malcolm whispered.
There was a rumbling noise.
"Something big." Eddie whispered.
Three large animals lumbered out of the forest. They were olive-green in color and had large arrowhead-shaped plates on their backs. At the end of their tails, the animals had a group of four large spikes. They were Stegosauruses.
"Woah! Yikes!" Eddie said in surprise. "Wow!"
Suddenly behind the three men there was a low moan as a fourth came out from behind them. The Stegosaurs paid the men no attention.
Nick pulled out his Contax rangefinder and began to photograph the Stegosaurs.
"This is, this is magnificent." Eddie said.
"Oh, yeah. Ooh, aah! That's how it always starts." Malcolm said, "But later there's running, and then screaming."
"Wow." Eddie said, still amazed by the creatures he saw.
Nick walked over to a log to get a better view of the Stegosaurs.
As he began taking more photographs, a woman's voice yelled out, "Hey, Nick!"
Startled, Nick fell backwards, causing the red-headed woman to laugh.
"I guess you kinda got the jump on us, here, a little bit. Did you, Sarah?" Nick said.
"Yeah." Sarah said chuckling. She looked over to see Malcolm looking at her, unhappily.
"Ian, I never thought in a million years Hammond would get you to come here." Sarah said. She laughed. "Hey, Eddie!" Sarah greeted.
"Hi, Sarah." Eddie said, meekly waving.
"Anybody got a Twinkie or something?" Sarah asked. "I'm...starving!" She jumped from a log into the stream. "Those animals that walked by, did you see 'em?" Sarah asked Malcolm. "It was a family group, a pair-bond and a sub-adult, long after the juvenile was nest bound. Every egg clutch I've seen has got shells crushed and trampled. The hatchlings definitely stay in the birth environment for an extended period of time. That's conclusive. I could put that controversy to rest, if I can just get a shot of the nest."
Malcolm lifted up Sarah's rucksack. "You haven't been attacked?"
"Oh, no. That's, uh, my lucky pack." Sarah said. "That's how it always looks."
"Okay, Sarah-" Malcolm began to say.
"Is that a Contax?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah, it's a Contax." Nick said.
"Can I borrow that?" Sarah asked. "I'll be right back, baby. I promise."
As Sarah walked down the stream bed, Malcolm followed her. Nick and Eddie quickly caught up.
"Hey, Sarah, when Hammond called you, uh, why didn't you say something to me?" Malcolm asked.
"Because I knew you would've stopped me." Sarah replied.
"I would've tied you to the bed, right." Malcolm said.
"I figured out how the animals survive without lysine." Sarah said.
"I don't care." Malcolm responded.
"If you look at the diets of the herbivore species that are thriving, they eat mostly agama beans, soy, anything lysine-rich. And the carnivores, well they eat the herbivores-"
Suddenly, a low groan was heard in the distance.
"W-Wait. Shh, shh, shh." Sarah shushed the group. "Just stay there. Be quiet. Be right back." Sarah continued trekking down the stream.
"Sarah, no, no!" Malcolm said.
"Stay there." Sarah said. She continued towards the group of Stegosaurus.
Malcolm, Eddie, and Nick stayed behind a fallen log. Eddie had the customized MAS-36 in hand.
Sarah, with Nick's camera in hand, slowly crept through the bushes. She crawled through the foliage as she came upon an infant Stegosaurus. Sarah lifted the camera and took a picture as the infant bent down to eat some ferns.
Meanwhile, Nick pulled out a wound-up Keystone video camera and began recording the interaction.
"Sarah. Sarah!" Malcolm whispered. "She's much too close."
"What the hell is she doing?" Nick asked.
"Too close. Too close." Malcolm said.
Sarah reached her hand out, ever so slowly, and touched the infant Stegosaurus' snout. The Stegosaurus purred, and then made a small whine. Sarah smiled as the petted the animal.
"Look, she has to touch it. She can't not touch." Malcolm said. "She can't not touch. Once she, once she...look at that. Once she looks at something, she's gotta, she's gotta..."
Sarah continued petting the infant. The Stegosaurus howled from happiness, a piece of fern hanging out of its mouth.
"Wow. Is this even possible?" Eddie asked, still enthralled.
"What?" Malcolm asked.
Eddie let out a sigh off excitement.
"This? What did you think you were going to document?" Malcolm asked. "What did you think you were gonna see?"
"Animals. Maybe, uh, big iguanas." Nick quipped.
Malcolm looked at Nick as if he lost his mind. "Fruitcakes." Malcolm muttered.
Sarah lifted the camera and took another photograph of the Stegosaurus infant. The flash startled the Stegosaurus, blinking from the light, howling.
"They get very angry when you take flash photography." Malcolm whispered.
Eddie began to ready the custom MAS-36, loading a dart into the chamber.
"Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!" Malcolm yelled.
The howls of the infant Stegosaurus alerted its parents who came lumbering towards it along with the sub-adult. Sarah attempted to escape.
Malcolm jumped to aid her, yelling, "Sarah! Shoot 'em." Nick tried to hold Malcolm back.
"They're just protecting their baby." Eddie said, who had the tranquilizer rifle raised.
"So am I." Malcolm replied, as he took off his black, leather jacket.
One of the Stegosaurs bellowed and swiped its tail at Sarah, who ducked and rolled to avoid the spikes. She ran towards a log as another Stegosaur charged her. Sarah crawled into the log, when suddenly spikes smashed through it, missing her by inches. Sarah crawled out of the log and looked around.
"They're leaving. I-I think they're leaving." Eddie said.
The trio rushed over to Sarah once the coast was clear.
