Jet slowly eased open the door as I was going over forms for the island. Since what I am going to assume was the appearance of scions replacement for this dimension 2 and a half years ago, techs(tinkers) and thinkers started showing up everywhere. I had hammond start hiring all the tinkers we could. I had most of them on Isla Muerta building what some were calling Techno City. thanks to over 200 tinkers all collaborating on the project, it was starting to look like a city one might find in star wars or star trek (one of them was a definite inspiration).
Jet had Lexy with him which meant they were playing hide-and-seek in the jungle again. Lexy loved Jet so much she even tried to mimic him, though her calls sounded more like predator clicking. Peter Cullen would be proud I think.
as Jet fully entered the office Lexy called from his back. "Taylor we found you! what'cha doin'?"
"I was doing some paperwork for the techs sweetie." I gave a soft smile as Jet lowered his head and rolled his shoulders to let Lexy down. I swear the girl was the safest child in the world when he was around.
"Oh, can we make more Jets instead?" Alexis begged.
"you know, how about we make something else instead, mm?"
"Like what?" she asked.
"well, I was having a bit of trouble deciding which amber to use so now bout you pick?" her eyes got wide as Lexy gasped. " you mean it?"
"Let's go to the lab," I said.

I smiled as Lexy ran over to my amber wall. "this one." she said confidently pointing at her chosen stone.
"Okay, lets put this into the extractor. then we can set up the projector for the scope." I ruffled Lexy's hair as I took the stone from her hand.
The extractor was something I built after I got shudders from coffee. its propose was pretty self-explanatory, it takes the amber and uses a tiny needle drill to get the blood then deposits it into a tube for further analysis.
As the machine did its job, I started getting the projector hooked up to my microscope.
five minutes later the extractor was done and I had a tube of blood.
I put the blood in my scope so I can make adjustments to the DNA strains. Lexy giggled as the microscopes view appeared on the projector, super tiny arms and needles poking and prodding as I worked on fixing the broken chains.
After most of the broken connections were fixed. I put the sample into an analysis, I could only fix so much when I didn't know what I was working on.
after the analysis shored up my work, it was time to put the finished sample into an egg.
"okay we should know what we have in a few weeks, what are you hoping for?" I asked Lexy. "Anko!" she screamed.
"Anko, huh." "yeah, with spikes and fat tails." "Okay then."
I smiled as she started getting more excited for the future dino. I wonder if John and I can instill a similar feeling of excitement into other children.

I called John after I got Alexis to sleep. I had been going over my idea after seeing Lexy so happy with seeing my work if we could do what John did with the Mythic Park then maybe we had something to get the board to shut up.
John answered after the second ring. "Taylor? What is wrong dear."
"Nothing grandfather, I just had an idea to run by you," I said with a smile in my voice.
"Oh?" John questioned. My next words brought a bright smile to johns voice, "How would you like to instill your wonder of giants into the next generation?"
"I'd love to, my dear, but how do you propose we achieve this idea of yours?"
"Two words grandfather," I told him. "Well don't keep me in suspense." He laughed. I smiled a little wider as I said the name.
"Jurassic Park."

After John hung up the phone he was deep in thought. Taylor's idea had merit. A park full of dinosaurs was a wonderful idea, a grand project. It would probably make the mystic park in Kenya look like a petting zoo in comparison.
Maybe they'd even get some more creatures for the Kenya project. After all, nothing says one can't benefit the other. The board would probably resist til the money started flowing again. But for a project that's bound to be a billion dollar idea, it's best if they spared no expense.
Yes, this might be better than that oil-eating alga Taylor made for environmental spills.
