Chapter 3
The Gems were petting the raptors, keeping them in special braces that resisted their abilities to open their mouths. Garnet was petting Delta, Amethyst was petting Charlie, and Pearl was petting Echo. Hoskins walked up.
Hoskins: It's amazing ain't it?
Garnet: What?
Hoskins: Your relationship with these animals. I had a similar relationship. I picked up a little dog when I was younger. When my wife came at me with a steak knife, he took a chunk out of her arm.
Garnet: Did you put him down?
Hoskins: Hell no. We had that inseparable bond, like you and...what's his name?
Garnet: Delta. And she's a girl.
Hoskins: Can I?
Garnet: Sure.
Hoskins placed his hand on Delta, and she snarled at him, startling him.
Hoskins: Woah is she ok?
Garnet received a call on her ear piece. She yelled to the other handlers.
Garnet: We have a code 16! They say we lost two guys?
Hoskins: What's a code 16?
Garnet: Asset out of containment.
Pearl: These people never learn.
Steven arrived at the control room, where Owen was waiting.
Owen: Steven. They told me what happened. Are you alright?
Steven: I'm fine.
The two of them went into the elevator, arriving in the control room.
Guard: Sir, you require authorization to be in here.
Steven: Were you watching what just happened Claire? She did not just disappear.
Claire: It must've been a technical malfunction.
Steven: Were you not paying attention? She marked up that wall on purpose. She wanted us to think she escaped.
Owen: Is that what happened?
Steven: What's going on now?
Claire: ACU is closing in on its tracking beacon, and preparing to capture it.
Masrani: Quietly, to ensure panic levels are kept low.
The two raptor trainers watched on screen a military group moved through the jungle with stun rifles, cattle prods, and a net gun.
Owen: You're going after this thing with non-lethals.
Masrani: We have $26 million invested in that. We can't just kill it.
Owen: Those men are gonna die. Call off the mission.
Vivian: They're approaching the beacon now.
Steven: Call it off.
Claire: You are not in control here!
They reached the beacon, but found only a slab of meat with a blinking light in it, showing to the control room on their camera.
Masrani: What is that?
Owen: Her tracking implant. She clawed it out.
Claire: How would it know to do that?
Steven: She remembered where they put it in.
Claire: But how would it know what it was doing?
Steven: It saw ACU thermal signatures going after it. It knew that thing had something to do with it.
The ACU troop leader saw blood dripping from the tree above. He followed it with his eyes, and the jungle slowly came to life. The Indominus revealed itself, changing its color from the green hue it used to camouflage to its albino self.
Leader: It can camouflage!
The Indominus grabbed the leader as the rest of the squad opened fire on it. It dropped the leader, proceeding to step on him. Troopers armed with cattle prods used them to shock the Indominus, forcing it different directions. In anger, the Indominus smacked one of them with its tail into a tree, grabbing another and throwing it into a branch, breaking his back. A trooper shot its mouth with a net, and in its attempts to get it off, it caused a tree to fall on two others. It finally ripped the net off, smacking its tail into two troopers and catching one in its mouth, biting down on it. The others attempted to retreat as one more guy fired a shotgun at it, infuriating it as it charged towards him, eating him.
The troopers had all flatlined in the control room.
Steven: Evacuate the island.
Claire: We'd never reopen.
Connie: You made a genetic hybrid and raised it in captivity. This is probably the first time she's seeing any of this.
Owen: She doesn't even know what she is.
Steven: She will kill anything that moves.
Masrani: You think the animal is contemplating its own existence?
Claire: We're talking about an animal here.
Owen: A highly intelligent animal.
Steven: She's still figuring out her place in the food chain, and I don't think you want her to figure that out.
Owen: Asset Containment has authorization to use live rounds in an emergency. There's an M134 in your armory. Put it on a chopper, and smoke this thing!
Claire: We have families. We're not gonna turn this place into some kind of war zone.
Steven: You already have.
Claire: If you're not going to help, there's no reason for you to be here.
Steven: Fine. Masrani, I'd take the Gems and have a word with your people in the lab. That thing out there, isn't a dinosaur.
Masrani: Why the Gems?
Steven: They have a special way of getting information. I have a feeling your people in the lab won't be cooperative in telling you what that thing's made of.
Steven, Owen and Connie got on the elevator and left.
Claire: Ok. I'm going to close everything north of the resort. This is a phase one real world bring everyone in.
Vivian sent out an alert.
Vivian: This is a phase one real world. I repeat, this is a phase one real world. Bring everyone in.
Masrani and the Gems were having a meeting with Dr. Wu in the lab.
Dr. Wu: You know I'm not at liberty to reveal the asset's genetic makeup. Modified animals are known to be unpredictable.
Masrani: It has killed people, Henry.
Dr. Wu: That's unfortunate.
Amethyst: What purpose would you have for a dinosaur that could camouflage?
Dr. Wu: That was never the intention. We added cuttlefish genes to withstand accelerated growth, but cuttlefish can change color, the asset clearly took both traits.
Garnet: It hid from thermal cameras.
Dr. Wu: Really? Well, tree frog genes were added to help adapt to tropical climates. Tree frogs can modulate their thermal signatures, but I never imagined...
Garnet: Ok. But what dinosaurs did you put in it? It had to have been more than a T-rex.
Dr. Wu: Well, if you really must know we added dinosaurs such as Rugops, Majungasaurus, Giganotosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Carnotaurus...
Masrani: Who authorized this?
Dr. Wu: You did. Bigger, scarier, cooler! I believe were the words you used in your memo.
Masrani: When the board sees what you are doing here. What you have done. They will shut you down and you will cease all projects immediately. And Hammond won't be there to protect you this time.
Dr. Wu: You are acting like we are engaged in some kind of mad science. But we are doing what we've done since the beginning. Nothing in Jurassic World is natural. We've always filled gaps in the genome. If the dinosaurs were real, they'd look a lot different! But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth!
Masrani: I never asked for a monster!
Dr. Wu: Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat.
