It had been a few weeks, most of the dinosaurs were fully grown, and some had even started breeding. The three had also begun working on a small side project trying to create genetic herbivore hybrids similar to the way that InGen had previously bred the Indominus Rex for Jurassic World.
A month had now passed since the start of the hybrid experiment and everything was going well. One specimen had already been produced and released onto the island, with a few other hybrid ideas currently being considered.
Everything had been calm that morning when suddenly an alarm sounded. Everyone rushed to the computer monitor and saw two T-Rex parents lying dead on the ground. Amy then noticed that there was a nest near the on-screen location. She then proceeded to move the camera towards the nest. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a lone infant T-rex still hiding in the brush nearby. She stared at the screen for a moment, then made a dash for the elevator outside the treehouse. Stew and Natalie were at first puzzled by this, but when they saw what Amy was after, they quickly called for her to come back, but it was too late. Her rescue was already underway.
When Amy arrived at the nesting site, she frantically looked around for the infant tyrannosaur. She soon found it standing next to its deceased parents, trying to wake them up, but to no avail. Amy slowly approached the infant from behind, trying not to frighten it off. Suddenly, a flock of birds were scared off nearby. The t-rex quickly spun around only to see Amy standing motionless behind him with a small chunk of meat in her hand. The two simply stared at each other for a moment, then Amy tried to lure the infant towards her with the meat. The infant was hesitant at first, but soon began approaching slowly. He sniffed Amy and then the meat in her hand. It then proceeded to snatch the meat out of her hand. After a few attempts, Amy was soon able to get close enough to the infant to pick him up and load him into the back of her vehicle. As Amy prepared to leave, she walked past the infant's deceased parents and saw a large set of tracks leading away from the carcasses. They looked similar to T-rex footprints, but they were much too large. She decided it was not important at the moment, then hopped into her car and drove back to the treehouse, not knowing that a pair of eyes slowly followed her from the shadowy brush.
When she arrived back at the treehouse, Stew and Natalie were very unsure of her decision. "Amy, we know you have good intentions with taking this infant in, but doing so might screw up the herbivore activity here, then we'll have to change our research tactics." Stew said. "But what if we can use this opportunity as an experiment?" Amy pleaded. "What do you mean?" Natalie asked. "Well, what if we were able to train him? We could make him dependent on an alternative food source and maybe even teach him to defend herbivores rather than view them as food. Please! It's pretty obvious he won't survive long without parents, so I'm really his only chance. Besides, I think that it's clear I'm not ever going to get married or have any kids of my own so this is the only shot I have at having a child. I really don't want to pass up this opportunity. That makes keeping him a fair proposal, right?" Amy asked. Natalie and Stew talked it over for a moment. "Alright, we'll let you keep him, but you have to keep a close eye on him and make sure that he doesn't take away from your work too much," They replied. Amy thanked them both and went to work preparing things for the infant.
For now, everything seemed at balance.
