Chapter 2
Steven was waiting in the Visitor's Center for a special guest in an adult form. The special guest arrived in suit and tie. She was indian with black hair.
Steven: Connie! Over here.
Connie: Steven! Hi!
They hugged.
Steven: How have you been?
Connie: I've been great!
Steven and Connie walked outside.
Connie: So you work here?
Steven: Yeah. I'm working a special program for Mr. Masrani.
Connie: What's it about?
Steven: Raptor intelligence.
Connie: Like velociraptors?
Steven: Yeah. I work with a former marine named Owen Grady. We work with the raptors to train them.
Connie: That's actually really cool. Can I come with you to work with them? See you in action?
Steven: Uh, sure.
The two arrived at the raptor pen, where the raptors were playing.
Connie: Do they have names?
Steven: Yeah. The brown one goes by Echo. The green one is Delta, the gamma of the pack. The dark green one is the omega, Charlie. And that one is Blue. The beta of the pack.
Connie: So they're like wolves. But who's the Alpha?
Steven: Me.
Connie: Well then.
Steven brought out a clicker.
Steven: Hey. You four! Up here.
He clicked the device multiple times, getting their attention.
Steven: Ok. Let's do a little demonstration. And we are moving.
Steven moved along the catwalk, with the raptors following him with their heads.
Steven: Good. That's real good. Hey Echo came back first in our game. Echo, this one's for you.
Steven threw a dead rat at Echo, and she snatched it out of the air.
Steven: Don't you worry, I got some for you. Charlie, Delta.
He threw some slabs of meat at the others.
Steven: And Blue, this one's for you.
Steven threw one at Blue.
Steven: Eyes up!
They raised their heads.
Steven: And dismissed!
The raptors started walking around the area.
Connie: That was amazing. How do you do that?
Steven: Well, it takes some time. We have to develop trust. When we trust each other, we understand each other.
Connie: That makes sense.
Claire: Mr. Universe.
Claire had walked in.
Steven: Oh, you must be Claire. Owen's told me something about you.
Claire: He has?
Steven: Yeah, something about being uptight and controlling.
Claire: That figures. I need you to take a look at something for me.
Steven: What?
Claire: Well, we have a new attraction going up. We've used gene splicing to create a genetic hybrid dinosaur.
Steven: A new dinosaur? Really?
Claire: Mr. Masrani thinks because of your experience with highly intelligent creatures like raptors, you'd be able to evaluate our paddock for vulnerabilities.
Steven: Sure. Can Connie here, come with?
Claire: If she'd like.
The three drove in Claire's car to the Indominus Rex paddock. They arrived in a viewing station with bulletproof glass windows and thermal camera screens.
Claire: We planned to open in May, but Asset Containment insisted we build the walls higher. We need a new attraction every few years to reinvigorate public interest. The Indominus Rex makes us relevant again.
Steven: The Indominus Rex. At least its easy to pronounce.
Claire: Now we hit a few snags early on. She began to anticipate where the food was coming from. One of the handlers nearly lost an arm.
Connie: So she's intelligent.
Steven: And that?
Steven pointed to cracks in the glass.
Claire: It tried to break the glass.
Steven: Well then. Can she see us?
Claire: The boys in the lab say it can sense thermal radiation. Kind of like snakes. Can we drop a steer?
Steven: What's it made of?
Claire: Base genome is T-rex. The rest is classified.
Connie: You made a dinosaur but you don't even know what it is?
Claire: I'm not in charge of that stuff. The lab brings us new assets, and I help display them.
A giant crane began lowering a chunk of beef into the paddock.
Steven: It's the only one in here? Never seen anything outside of these walls?
Claire: We can't exactly walk it.
Steven: And you feed it with that crane?
Claire: What's the problem?
Steven: Animals raised in isolation aren't always the most functional.
Claire: What about the raptors? Aren't they raised in captivity?
Steven: Well they have siblings. They learn social skills. The only positive relationship this animal has ever had is with this crane.
Claire: Not at first. There was a sibling, in case this one didn't survive infancy.
Steven: Where's the sibling?
Claire:...She ate it.
Steven: So it wanted to be alone. Now where is it?
Claire: It was just here. I was just here.
Claire activated the thermal cameras. They all said "No thermal signatures detected"
Steven: Uh, were those claw marks on the wall before?
Claire: You think it...
Connie: Oh no.
Claire: She has an implant in her. I can track it from the control room.
Steven: Hold on. Connie, I want you to go with her?
Connie: What?
Steven: If that thing is loose, I want to know you're somewhere safe. Now go. I'm gonna go in there and check it out.
Connie and Claire were driving to the control room. Claire made a phone call to the Asset Containment Unit.
Claire: We have an asset out of containment! Put ACU on alert! This is not a drill!
She called the control room to a man named Lowery Cruthers.
Claire: Lowery are you there?
Lowery: Yeah. What's up?
Claire: I need you to track the Indominus.
Lowery: Uh. Yeah. Give me a minute.
Steven went into the paddock with worker Ellis and Nick.
Nick: Doesn't make any sense. These walls haven't been opened in weeks.
They walked to the scratched up wall.
Nick: The walls 40 feet high. We'd see her try and climb out. You really think she could?
Steven: That depends.
Nick: On what?
Steven: What kind of dinosaur they cooked up in that lab.
Lowery got the Indominus' coordinates.
Lowery: What? It's in the cage.
Claire: That's impossible. I was just there.
Connie: What'd he say?
Claire: It's still in the cage.
Connie: Steven's in there.
She grabbed the phone
Connie: Is there anyone in there?
Lowery: Yeah. A kid and two guys.
Connie: Get them out of there!
A female worker named Vivian called the three.
Vivian: Paddock 11. This is control. You need to evacuate immediately. Do you read?
Nick: What's up? We didn't catch that.
Vivian: It's in the cage! It's in there with you!
Steven: Go! Run!
They ran to the smaller door that the Indominus couldn't fit through, but the genetic hybrid stomped in front of them. It was an albino T-rex with three fingered claws, opposable thumbs, spikes along its head, and little hairs on its neck, along with orange-red eyes. It was a staggering 18 feet tall and 50 feet long.
Steven: Go the other way!
The three turned and ran the other way to the larger door. Nick ran ahead, and opened the door, seeing the Indominus manage to grab Ellis, snapping him into its jaws. He squeezed through the door, with Steven behind.
Steven: Close the gate!
Simon Masrani, the owner and operator of Jurassic World was present in the control room.
Masrani: Close it down.
Lowery: We can't lock him in there.
Masrani: Close it down!
The door started to close, and Steven picked up the pace, managing to squeeze through the door, but the Indominus smashed through, breaking the door and freeing herself. Steven hid underneath a truck, and Nick was hiding behind a cement truck. The Indominus smashed it into the air, snapping its jaws on Nick, and eating him. Steven tried a trick that Owen taught him. He cut the gas lines to the truck, covering his face and body in gasoline to mask his scent. The Indominus, unable to detect him, walked off, now free to roam anywhere in the entire park.
Claire and Connie arrived in the control room. Everyone stared at Claire in fearful silence, knowing what danger the Indominus posed on the park.
Claire: Everyone...remain...calm.
