The Survivors of Nublar

Español - English

He estado trabajando en los diseños de cómo se verían los campistas en ARK, en mi fanfic "Survivors of Nublar".

En el próximo capítulo habrá un salto de unos años al futuro y se supone que este será el aspecto de los protagonistas de ahí en adelante, por eso algunos han pegado un pequeño estirón XD. Traté de hacer un punto intermedio entre sus outfit en la serie y las armaduras y ropas de ARK, para Brooklyn hice dos diseños pero el segundo tenía spoilers y no me di cuenta, así que lo corté, pero os lo enseñaré más adelante.

I've been working on the designs of what the campers would look like in ARK, in my fanfic "Survivors of Nublar".

In the next chapter there will be a jump a few years into the future and this is supposed to be the appearance of the protagonists from then on, that's why some have hit a small growth spurt XD. I tried to make an intermediate point between their outfits in the series and the ARK armor and clothes, for Brooklyn I made two designs but the second one had spoilers and I didn't realize it, so I cut it up, but I'll show you later.

E hice un mapa de cómo se verían las divisiones territoriales en La Isla en mi historia. Mitad inspirado en el canon de ARK, mitad inventado.

And I made a map of what the territorial divisions on The Island would look like in my story. Half inspired by ARK canon, half made up.

[morurui]

I really do wish I had taken photos of the rest of the Roblox camp fam when the event was still ongoing because trust me when I say that Roblox Darius lives on in my nightmares.

Okay, so, who do I have to commission to make a “Yaz dies from the Mosasaurus” fic?

NOBODY GIVE ME WEIRD LOOKS BECAUSE YOU GUYS LOVE MAKING BEN ACTUALLY DIE TO THE PTERANODONS !!! I’ve seen the fics ,,

The scenes happen back to back too, so it’s like — almost equal amounts of angst !! Because when Yaz breaks her ankle and Sammy runs over to her, she’s still pissed at Sammy, so imagine the guilt Sammy must feel if she watches Yaz die in front of her without ever making things right ??? Not to mention Ben’s guilt of feeling like he caused her death bc he was slowing them down with Bumpy. Maybe even Kenji too for not pulling her to safety fast enough with the feeding hook !!

Which is an ironic name..

I’d write it myself if I had the motivation to finish things ..

[st4rrmii]

Could you imagine how bad the Campers' survivor's guilt must be? Like sure, a lot of people that were killed on the islands were bad people who frankly deserved it, but they also saw so many innocent people die, ntm I'm sure they saw all the news articles with death counts from Nublar (Death counts that may possibly be lower than what they are due to the fact that we all know they weren't able to retrieve every body).

Yet here they are, six random kids that managed to survive everything against all odds, despite not only dinosaurs but also grown adults wanting them killed on multiple occassions. They all went through things that realistically SHOULD have killed them, I mean, even the fall off the zipine in s1 was a lot. Ben on the monorail, Sammy with the Scorpious, plus everything else was realistically way too much for a group of 6 CHILDREN to survive, yet they somehow did.

But so many people didn't.

So many innocent people, workers, guests, adults, other children, all met their untimely fate simply because they needed a job or they wanted to have a good time with their family, meanwhile these 6 kids, some of which didn't even WANT to be there, somehow made it. They don't know how, or what they did to deserve it that the other's didn't, but they made it.

I dunno, I've just been thinking about that lately.

[louthestarspeaker]

Okay but guys Brooklynn ABSOLUTELY knew how her death would affect the others.

I mean the nublar six know death. They know it intimately from both sides. For a month, Brooklynn thought she lost Ben, and realistically Haps's death would have affected her too. She knows what grief feels like. She's been on the other side of it too, her fathers thought she was dead for over half a year by the time she returned. She's seen exactly how her death would affect the people she loves.

And she still didn't come back. That's the choice she made. I feel like when you divorce her from that choice ("she didn't know how her death would affect her friends") you lose a great deal of the power and agency in her character, and in the narrative tbh.

Brooklynn is a bargainer, she has been since she was little, and it's not something she grew out of. She will take stock of a situation, and weigh things against each other, and give her energy and time to what she decides is most important. When we first met her, this was popularity, social media statistics. But these priorities began changing as she grew closer to others. The others' friendship, their feelings, their safety, she begins to take these things into account too. Like when she helped Sammy find out more about Mantah Corps.

Yes, at first, Brooklynn didn't know how to connect with people outside of the internet, or how to be a good friend. But she learned. Taking a snapshot of her in season one JWCC at the age of thirteen and applying it her as a 20 year old woman in Chaos Theory ignores the growth of her character.

ALL of that said, there is still something Brooklynn looked at, weighed it against her friends' grief and pain (and her own), and decided "this is worth more", and she didn't come back.

That makes Brooklynn sound like an awful person, but honestly taht's no at all what I'm getting at. My theory is that th thing she bargained for is her friends grief is their safety. By pretending to be dead she was protecting the others. If Brooklynn's secrets died with her, no point in going after them I also think it worked. After all, the Handler didn't go after others for six months, and that's because Ben kept digging into things.

ALSO also let's not forget that Brooklynn is literally the survivor of an attempted murder. By a corrupt branch the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT no less. I feel like that's something that gets swept under the rug a little? Maybe she's hiding out purely because her life is in very grave danger. Maybe deciding not to come back wasn't some great act of heroism and self-sacrifice as we would traditionally define it. Maybe she's just very scared of very real threats. Like what if it's not actually about anyone else, what if it's just about her? If it is, I think that's as good a reason as any of the others

I just watched Jurassic world chaos theory and here’s a list of all my thoughts

Spoilers ahead

-

-

-

- LIMB DIFFERENCE BROOKLYN??? SHE LOOKS SO BADASS. I LOVE ALL HER NEW HAIRSTYLES. They’re so much better than the old ones (not that I didn’t like her old hair, I liked it when her roots grew in but I HATED the weird timeskip haircut at the end of cc)

- secondly, kenji getting a taste of his own medicine cause he now gets to know what it felt like to think you were betrayed by your closest friend.

- but yeah, rip kenji. That guy has been through enough. Like, if you put all his trauma in order it’s depressing. Dad abused him, manipulated him, left him on a Dino island and tried to kill all his friends. THEN he tried to make a new shady business and guilt kenji instead of just, giving him info about Brooklyn

- also Darius having a crush on Brooklyn I jokingly guessed AND WAS RIGHT

- New villain is really cool. The way she controls raptors is soooo interesting. I haven’t gotten to see any of the new Jurassic movies (I only saw Jurassic world) so idk if she’s in that one

- I really liked Mateo but I was getting flashbacks from season 2 (or was it three?) and totally thought he was gonna die. He talked too much about his daughter I totally thought he would’ve died and Darius break the news to her.

- DO THE COPS THINK THE NUBLAR SIX ARE DEAD AGAIN??? BECAUSE THEY ACCIDENTALLY (and purposely for some) FAKED THEIR OWN DEATHS WITH THE CAR AND NOT ANSWERING BRAND SHIt

- also Darius was scaring me at the beginning, he seemed really depressed. I had seen 5 seconds of spoilers by accident of him in a bathtub and kenji walking in AND I WAS CONVINCED IT WAS SOME DARK TWIST AND THE SHOW WOULD END WITH HIM killing himself! I know it’s a kids show! But I watched legend of korra… so. There.

- Also at first I was uncomfortable with the way Yaz was being characterized as traumatized the most, but I ended up loving because it felt like a Purposeful Mis characterization only for it to be turned on it’s head. Let me explain, at the beginning us as viewers are told that Yaz has been really fucked up by all the monster attacks, and had to go to therapy in Wyoming. So we as viewers get worried that she’s going to relapse her ptsd after learning they’re being hunted. But while yes, she has normal reactions to Dino’s (fear) we learn therapy actually WORKED and she wasn’t SHELTERED. She ACTUALLY LEARNED COPING SKILLS and ended up being the most well adjusted among them. It was written so well. Because now we see Sammy who we thought was doing well, have horrible coping skills and fall into an anxious attachment style because her parents don’t talk to her anymore, her girlfriend is ignoring her (avoidant attachment kinda) and all of her friends are going through their own shit on their own and don’t talk to her. She’s having panic attacks and struggling, and Yaz got to be able to pay her back for all the compassion by showing her how she handles all the fear and sadness. I FUCKING LOVED THAT. THAT WAS SO GOOD. AND I ONLY REALIZE HOW GOOD IT WAS THE MORE I SIT IN IT. I spread out my watching because if I binged I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much.

- I also loved that they all represented different outcomes of trauma, and different coping mechanisms. Darius with the survivors guilt (again), Sammy with keeping herself busy so she doesn’t have to think about it, Ben becoming even more hyper vigillant/conspiracy theorist. Etc.

-Sammy was season mvp. She was the best character by far for me.

-She definitely needed to give Yaz her space tho, but I also hated how Yaz just assumed Sammy thought she couldn’t handle herself only because Sammy hadn’t seen her since her breakdown after the Dinos got loose. I loved watching it tho, the argument was so needed.

- I didn’t once think “there’s no way they’d act that way” because they were all characterized so well as trauma survivors.

- the only things I was like ehhh about were Kenji being a climber (since when??) and Ben having a girlfriend 😂.

- I loved that Darius was living on his own and brand was calling a ton because he was worried about him. Because Darius has only gotten MORE independent, his way of dealing with this problems is having alone time and doing things himself. I LOVE THAT AGGHHH.

- I was disappointed kenji had a new voice actor tho. He didn’t necessarily do a bad job, it was just really distracting for me.

- Not with Brooklyn though, I didn’t notice at all, I just thought Jenna Ortega was going something different now that Brooklyn is older. Her voice actor did so well. I loved all the layers I felt in all the flashbacks.

- One thing tho, I would’ve loved it if Brooklyn was actually dead (although the way they handled it made me REALLY believe she was dead, and I was pretty positive she was alive for most of the show)

- I love brooklyn!! But I do think killing one of the main characters would’ve upped the stakes more. But all of the drama and new dinos did that by itself. I felt on the edge of my seat the whole show!

- I also liked that Brooklyn and Kenji broke up. Might get some hate for that but it’s true. I never shipped it. But this show actually did make me like the ship more if that’s insane. Because I do think the dynamic of “we’re both jokingly egotistical and we bring out each other’s worst sides in a silly way”. I also think kenji needs happiness.

- And while I’m disappointed Ben has an off screen girlfriend, hopefully she shows up as a character later. Or they at least break up so he can have his bisexual king moment (go cry about it)

- I would also love mateo’s daughter becoming a character later, like her being a part of Brooklyn’s secret crew to take down the DPW etc. I don’t usually like the new characters super late in a series, but because of the way they’ve hinted at these characters, it makes me want to see them.

- I think she’d be a hacker or someone like Brooklyn just cause of what we’ve been shown of her.

- One thing I didn’t love, was not getting to see a complete wrapped up conflict. Like, kenji and Darius got better but mostly cause the action distracted them from getting to be genuinely hurt. And ESPECIALLY Sammy and Yaz’s conflict, although by Yaz helping her breathe it did kind of solve the conflict without words. But that’s just me.

- I also thought that Ben should be a lot less well adjusted. He’s had A LOT of trauma throughout the show, basically breaking his entire original archetype and replacing it with a new one. His whole character development was going from being scared and being a burden, to getting immensely used to hurting and living in the wild just to survive. When I originally thought of how he’d be out of the island, I thought he’d really struggle getting into fights to solve his problems, (like when he got into a fist fight with kenji) and being a little too wild for “civilization” (school, work etc.) and not fitting in. We also don’t really know why he’s not in college anymore. Did he graduate? Is he taking a gap year? We saw him in a dorm and it’s only been six years. Wasn’t he like, 15 at the start of the show? Well, I guess he would’ve graduated by then, but idk it depends. We actually have a lot of loose ends I want to be explored, like where is Sammy’s family? Why don’t her parents talk to her anymore? Is it cause she’s gay? I thought she had siblings?? Idk.

- tldr, I want ben to have more violent tendencies because he can’t work through his emotions. Not everyone heals in non harmful way 🤷‍♀️

- also cause I want his pyromania to come back idc if it was a facade to protect himself.

- ALSO IM SO GLAD KENJI’S DAD IS DEAD I ALMOST FORGOT

- AND ALSO IM SHOCKED THEYRE EVEN INSINUATING THAT BROOKLYN IS EVIL NOW CAUSE REMEMBER HOW PISSED SHE WAS AT KENJI FOR DOING BASICALLY THE SAME THING? DAMN, HYPOCRITICAL MUCH?

- BUT IT WOULD BE COOL IF HER MORALS ARE NOW MORE MORALLEY GREY LIKE HATING DINOS OR HURTING PEOPLE FOR THE GREATER GOOD

- LIKE NORMAN FROM THE PROMISED NEVERLAND MANGA OR ROSE QUARTZ

- THATS MY FAVE TYPE OF CHARACTER

- That’s why I liked it so much when Darius said “I don’t chase dinosaurs anymore, just one…” BECAUSE IT INSINUATED HE WANTED TO KILL A DINO WHEN HES A DINO LOVER. Him not liking Dinos as much would’ve been badass but also out of character I guess

- it also made me think of that meme from totally spies “I don’t want to kill all the world! Just half! THE MALE HALF-“

- but omg this made me realize… if his boss that he talked to during that scene was talking to Brooklyn this whole time… if brook asked how Darius was she could’ve told her about how bad he was doing and Brooklyn wouldn’t have been able to tell him at all that it wasn’t his fault.

- although… I’ll be real with u… it totally was. When we found out WHY he wasn’t there? Eyah it was his fault 😭💀. I know that’s horrible it say and if I was him I would’ve done the same (just cause it’s awkward and he wanted to give her space) BUT THAT WAS ALMOST INCEL-LIKE BEHAVIOR FROM HIM, WHAT???

- anyways I made a lot of jokes I might copy and paste in a reblog we’ll see

That’s about it for now. Thanks if you read this far.

RAW REACTIONS TO JWCT

Spoilers below the cut, and warning it's long. My thoughts are all over the place rn so you'll get more organized posts tomorrow

Ep. 1

“Just the one.” FML

Darius you’re such a funny little guy

“I’m not talking about the island I’m talking about what happened after.” AHHHHHHH. The way this line was delivered and animated.

The family photos on the wall feel so symbolic. 

It’s sad how Darius has to go through this process of grief again.

What’s Brand doing to get himself into trouble?

*soft music plays* “And here with me live are the improbable survivors of the Jurassic World incident, the Nublar Six” CAN YOU HEAR ME FUCKING SOBBING.

Ben scrunched over that little compute please I can’t 😭

What’s especially sad about Darius’ grief is that he’s not just sad and depressed as if he’s accepted her death, it’s that he pushed himself into a sort of state of almost denial where he’s still calling her and stuff.

These raptors are freaky

1st episode over yayyyy

Ep. 2

Not the keys Darius 

The tensionnn

Ben and his driving skills 

Ben’s poor van

Ben still being the well prepared man he is

Ben…I’m concerned what is that board you have going on there

Why are these grown ass men living such horrible lives? Eating canned cheese out of a dirty mug? A spoon in a boot that makes sloshing noise?

Ben back at it w the shaving cream/ whipped cream. 

Darius is so unconvinced

BEN throwing Darius phone out like it was nothing plssss and his reaction 

BROOKLYNN I MISS YOU 

She’s so pretty though

Very ominous great way to emphasize Ben’s paranoia 

These poor traumatized kids

“Is your friend okay?” “No.” PLSS I’m glad he knows it

THE FUCKING FORESHADOWING 

OH THE SUSPENSE 

Ep. 3

Sammy’s ranch is so cuteeee

SAMMY MI AMOR THEIR REUNION IS JUST SO PRECIOUS 

The locs thing omg 

“Have you seen my pitchfork” she asks casually as if she’s a witch hunter during the Salem witch trials 

What do you mean Sammy isn’t talking to her parents 

Their reunion is soooo cute 

Sammy you are a queen and I love you.

FUCK YOU CARL

I forgot we were in Texas lmao

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT’S SAMMY SEEING BROOKLYNN FOR ME 😭 now it’s definitely for sure that Sammy died her hair in honor of B. Brooklynn’s jacket 😭

SAMMY 😭😭😭 “or Yaz pulling away from me”

“Did you have Brooklynn killed?” Oh going in hot ig

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997, Steven Spielberg)

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a 1997 film directed by Steven Spielberg, sequel to Jurassic Park and inspired by the novel The Lost World by Michael Crichton.

The franchise continued with Jurassic Park III (2001), Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022).

Four years have passed since the dramatic events at Jurassic Park. Professor Ian Malcolm, one of the survivors, is contacted again by the now ex-head of InGen, John Hammond, and informed that Isla Nublar, the place where the park stood, was in reality just a showcase for tourists. In fact, the prehistoric creatures were actually created on nearby Isla Sorna, the so-called "Site B" where, following the destruction of the fences caused by the hurricane called Clarissa, they were able to escape from their cages and live undisturbed without the whole world knowing, but now the target of her greedy and corrupt nephew, Peter Ludlow, eager to plunder her to recreate a "city Jurassic Park" in San Diego. At first Malcolm, knowing the very high risks, declines the proposal but, discovering that his girlfriend, the paleontologist Sarah Harding, has already gone to the place, he decides to leave immediately to bring her back, aided by the photographer Nick Van Owen and the engineer Eddie Carr.

Not long after Peter Ludlow, together with a team of hunters led by Roland Tembo, arrives on Isla Sorna to begin the capture of some dinosaurs and in particular, an adult male specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex.

After a day's march, Dieter Stark, Tembo's deputy, loses his life in the jungle, devoured alive by the small Compsognathus and that same night the camp is attacked by T-Rexes, attracted by the smell of the puppy's blood left impregnated on the jacket by Sarah. In the general escape, the hunting team crosses an expanse of tall grass falling victim to an ambush by seven Velociraptors; despite this, Ian, Sarah, Nick and Kelly manage to reach the communications center, where Nick requests reinforcements from the mainland while the others have to deal with the Raptors.

Jeff Goldblum is Professor Ian Malcolm: a mathematician expert in chaos theory. He is, together with Hammond (and with the exception of the children, who only appear in a brief cameo), the only main character from the first chapter to also reappear in the sequel. At the end of the first film, Malcolm managed to escape from Isla Nublar, and during these four years he revealed the facts of Jurassic Park to the public.

Julianne Moore is Dr. Sarah Harding, Ian Malcolm's girlfriend.

AUTISM BLAST. wild west au gunslinging outlaw robin but shes on the verge of death and gets domesticated by sammy (its totally not obvious that ive been playing rdr2)

plus a helpful fit from this, the creator of which is linked there

BEWARE! gratuitous yapping below!

robin's gang was wiped out by their rivals mantah corp, leaving her as the only survivor but gravely injured. after trekking across the heartlands of america on a stolen horse, searching for somewhere to lick her wounds without being recognised, she stumbles upon sammy and yasmina's ranch. her intent is to rob them and bribe a doctor in a nearby town, but instead she nearly bleeds out on their doorstep

the only survivors of a shipwreck on america's coast a number of years beforehand - after which they were found and taught to use guns by outlaws until they discovered kenji was heir to a large fortune and turned on them - the nublar six decided to look out for each other and formed a small gang. they've since taken more honourable paths in life:

yasmina raises and trains horses after an injury stopped her from riding,

after sailing from england where she was staying with family, sammy returns to her parents' ranch to find them killed and the place looted by mantah corp,

darius studies paleontology under dr mae turner,

ben is a veterinarian in town and often visits yasmina's horses,

brooklynn works at a newspaper agent in town,

kenji becomes a sea captain, but never strays far from america's waters

to repay them for saving her life, robin helps out around the ranch. sammy offers her wages as she does all her workers, but robin rejects it. after healing a little, she first tries going into town to look for bounty work, but overhears discussion about mantah corp being in the area so she decides its better to lay low somewhere remote like the ranch until she's healthy enough to move on. spoiler alert she never does

Darius Field Guide #4

(Español)

Sobrevivir no es tan duro cuando ya conoces el terreno de antemano y sabes cuales son los lugares más seguros y dónde están los recursos.

Yo jugué al videojuego ARK en su momento, me había pasado los cuatro primeros mapas de la historia, y la verdad era bastante bueno. Solo lo dejé, para jugar al videojuego de Jurassic Park y ganar el viaje al parque.

La verdad, siempre me encantó jugar en este mapa, por su estética, es impresionante y las criaturas me encantan, creo que soy el único al que los Ravagers le parecen bonitos. Pero si hubiese podido elegir, estaría en La Isla y no en este lugar, es demasiado peligroso, no es lugar para un crío del siglo XXI, en cambio La Isla… Sería como regresar a Nublar, se sentiría más como en casa.

o ——–– o ◆ o ––—— o

(English)

Surviving is not so hard when you already know the terrain beforehand and you know which are the safest places and where the resources are.

I played the ARK video game at the time, I had passed the first four maps of the story, and I actually was quite good. I only quit playing, to play the Jurassic Park video game and win the trip to the park.

The truth is, I always loved playing on this map, because of its aesthetics, it's impressive and I love the creatures, I think I'm the only one who finds the Ravagers pretty. But if I had been able to choose, I would be on The Island and not in this place, it's too dangerous, it is not a place for a 21st century kid, instead La Isla… It would be like going back to Nublar, it would feel more like home.

A Look Back at my Benji Fics 1: Kenji's Family

So the first fanfiction I wrote was called Sweet Survivor. This was right after season one and before we knew when season two was coming out.

I had written it as a gift to my sister, as we both fell in love with one Benjamin Fitzgerald Pincus.

However...all I had was my knowledge from the books and movies. I had no idea where the story would go. So like those Pteranodons...I winged it.

But seriously. It led to my own lore when it came to the campers. If I was going to write my own ending, I had to make some guesses and choices how I saw characters. And I would reuse these characters again and again.

So first: The Kons

(Btw, this was pre-Daniel Kon. And I will collapse as not to cause endless scrolling for passers by)

Kosei Kon

Kosei was what I hoped Daniel could’ve been.

I had created him between Season 1 and 2 of Camp Cretaceous when writing Sweet Survivor and kept him as “Kenji’s Dad” in every one of my fics since.

Kosei was someone who was selfish and needed a reality check. Someone who pushed his son to the side, but would do anything to keep him safe and sound. Who would be able to look at himself and do anything for Kenji’s safety.

Daniel Kon, he is not.

A lot of the background with Kosei was he was in construction and/or finance. I also put in a few fics he and Simon were best friends in their twenties and while Simon got more whimsical, Kosei got more serious. He was also from a traditional family who valued hard work, but not really family ties.

A very "I bust my ass, so you don't have to" mentality that backfires tremendously.

This would change during his second marriage and the Jurassic World incident.

I’ll go into Candy later, but she was the fuse that started the fire under his ass when it came to not only finding his son, but repairing their relationship. Most fics also had him a little awkward with his younger daughter, another OC,  since I had a theory Kenji was only raised by nannies and saw his dad once a day in person or on facetime. So he being around for nightly feedings and the terrible twos and first everythings were something he had yet to experience.

 Another funny quirk is he tries to learn about things he doesn’t understand, like phrases or other sexualities, hence why he’s a little overenthusiastic about Kenji being bisexual because “You’ve trained for this possibility, Kosei!”

A big part of making Kosei was making him terrible at poor communication and posturing instead of comforting his obviously emotionally neglected son. He would find it hard and way too new, but he was always written to, despite being a bit aloof and closed off, ready to finally step up when his son needed him for life advice or just to pass the time.

He’s also not afraid to put his career and reputation on the line when it comes to his children.

Candela "Candy" Kon

Candy was kinda a throw away line from Kenji and never mentioned again.

We didn’t know back then if she was his dad’s girlfriend, his stepmom or just an assistant for Mr. Kon. I went to the stepmom angle cause it almost felt like the scene from “Up” when Russel talked about his dad.

I really really reeeeeeally am tired of the evil stepmother trope.

So I created Candela Kon, Kosei’s wife.  (I will be referring to my OC Kosei Kon rather than Daniel Kon as Kenji’s father.)

I wanted her and Kenji to have an awkward relationship rather than a hostile one. It was more important to me that she was trying, and it just was…awkward. I 100% believe Kenji’s Dad, Daniel or Kosei, would marry without informing Kenji or Candy. And she would ream him out and immediately try to bond with Kenji, cause her husband may be a clueless dolt, but there’s a child now and his feelings are the most important thing right now.

Since Jurassic Park is located on Isla Nublar set in Costa Rica, I wanted her to be an orphan who grew up there and later immigrated to America before returning to work at Jurassic World.

Her being an orphan was never really touched on, but it would help her connect with Kenji, as she knows how it is to want parents and they're not there.

On top of that, she often had the stereotypical health crazes, though toned enough that it was more a pursuit of knowledge to see what was good or beneficial to her family. Hence why she would like Ben so much, as I wrote him not only as food conscious, but also with an interest in herbology for medical purposes. (More about that later.)

Before the series, she and Kosei would meet and start their romance because of a pregnancy that unfortunately didn’t make it to term. Candy would have built a relationship with Kosei, and both agree to stay married as they make each other happy and both love Kenji.

Carmen Kon

Carmen was the daughter of Kosei and Candy, and Kenji’s baby sister. In most stories, she is Candy's rainbow baby.

Most of the time she’s between the ages of yet to be born and 15. At any age, she’s a pretty chill little kid who loves games, her babysitter/nanny Dave and Kenji.

As a kid under 6, she’s obsessed with Kenji and later Ben. Usually getting very excited any time Kenji enters a room, she’s often corralled by Dave, who I love too much not to come back in every fic.

As a teen in Sweater Weather, she is very self-conscious, as she’s being bullied for not being like her brother by other schoolmates. She keeps to her games and loves the mall, but will have bad days where she shuts off her phone and walks around the properties. She bonds with Ben over being bullied and shares her interests in video games and gender studies.

So that's the Kons.

Thank you guys for dealing with my breaks. I am trying to write when I can. Have a good summer.

"Giganotosaur Paddock" - 1/28/2022

A hypothetical piece of art involving a Stan Winston stylized Giganotosaurus taking the rex's place in the original paddock breakout sequence. The set piece was also inspired by the paddock level in the 1999 game, Jurassic Park Warpath.

Hammond thought the Tyrannosaurus rex would be an amazing choice for Jurassic Park, he wanted something large, breathtaking, a true spectacle of an animal. But when he heard about a giant southern lizard, he didn't spare an expense towards its research. She showed an aggressive nature since birth and though Muldoon worked day and night to secure the growing beast, on the night of the Nublar Incident... it showed no mercy.

"Winston styled Albertosaurus" - 5/5/2022

A smaller, quick reflexed relative to the Tyrannosaurus rex, the Albertosaurus is a plains and mountain dwelling theropod on Los Cinco Muertes. Though not as destructive as its larger cousin, the Albertosaurus is still an extremely dangerous animal to encounter, as it utilizes its reinforced head as a sort of battering ram. Its muscular body and lengthy legs allow this dinosaur to rush with hazardous speed, which allows it to take down prey items and potentially unaware survivors.

I was inspired by some artwork used in the creation of Stan Winston's iconic animatronics and decided to take my own hand at making a stylized take on Albertosaurus to make it fit within Jurassic Park, depictions from Warpath and Tresspasser were also utilized. And another frame of reference was the description of the novel's juvenile Rex and the Big Red Rex from the Kenner toyline.

These are all my old fanmade concepts for an alternative interpretation of Jurassic Park, maybe I'll elaborate more on this someday. Who knows.

Is This the End?

A job offer. A kidnapped clone. Two missing velociraptors and the mysterious locusts. Ten survivors.

One can't help but wonder, is this the end?

Chapter Seven, Land of the Frost, is up now!

AO3

“I worked at Jurassic World, with the velociraptors,” she responded. “And then I was on Isla Nublar when that volcano blew, and in California when the dinosaurs escaped.” She lifted her prosthetic up a little. “That’s where I lost this.” Kayla whistled. “Damn girl. And you came back?” Lizzy shrugged. “Anything for my friends.” Owen smiled up at her.

[ID: A collection of six images of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory promo material. The images are in the style of a magazine, with a cover and interviews from each of the Nublar Six, minus Brooklynn.

The cover has all of the Nublar Six lined up on the docks in Costa Rica, just after they made it back to the mainland. Yaz and Sammy are holding hands, Kenji has a hand on Brooklynn's shoulder. All the kids are smiling nicely, with the exception of Darius whose smile is kind of awkward and looks a little uncomfortable on camera. The title of the magazine, The Dino Times, is splashed across the top of the page. Just below it is the subtitle "Who are the Nublar Six?". Below the photo of the campers is text that reads, "Meet the miraculous survivors of the Jurassic World catastrophe in this exclusive, celebrating the anniversary of their return."

Each of the interviews has a picture of each of the Nublar Six as a young adult, their name printed large, and a little logo for The Dino Times in the corner. A transcript of the text of each interview reads as folllows:

Darius: Dino Nerd Turned Hero

Darius Bowman never would've expected a shy, nerdy kid from Oakland could become the leader of the Nublar survivors.

"Back at Camp Cretaceous I had to learn to trust myself and my friends to make it through. It was a terrifying experience, but what they were doing to those dinosaurs at that facility just wasn't right. Somebody had to do something."

Since his return, Bowman has traveled all over the country giving talks about dinosaur conservation, and has worked with the Department of Prehistoric Wildlife.

Ben: Brave Soul Against All Odds

Ben Pincus had perhaps the most dramatic metamorphosis as a result of his experiences at Nublar.

"I was terrified of pretty much everything," he said. "Germs. The dark. Non-organic snacks. And then all of a sudden we were up against actual dinosaurs."

Luckily, Pincus found an unlikely ally in a baby Ankylosaurus he named Bumpy.

"Bumpy is my best friend. She helped me face my fears and see how much I had to contribute to the group."

We'll have to see if the campus office can make an exception for Bumpy as Ben gets ready for college in the fall.

Sammy: Cattle Rancher, Dino Wrangler

Sammy Gutierrez lived with her parents on a Texas ranch before Camp Cretaceous. Ever the optimist she remarked, "At least I was already used to big animals before that whole fiasco! There;s really not much difference between a longhorn and a Triceratops if you think about it."

Back at home, Gutierrez maintained that positive attitude by staying busy.

"I have my own ranch, now. And my girlfriend, Yaz. And tons of pies to bake! We don't have time to keep worrying about all that running for our lives stuff!"

Yaz: A Track Star and Her Team

Yasmina Fadoula went from national track star to Nublar Six survivor in the span of months, and the aftermath hit her particularly hard.

"I wasn't used to feeling helpless. Before, I would just push through to the finish line no matter what. Nublar made me realize you can't win all your races alone."

She credits her relationship with fellow survivor Sammy Gutierrez as a major source of support.

"I've been going through a lot of anxiety since coming back, and Sammy's been there constantly. I want to show her I can be the strong person she sees in me."

Kenji: Cool Kid Finds New Family

Kenji Kon has declined to comment on his father's incarceration.

"All that matters is my new family. They're the ones who always had my back."

The Nublar Six have been instrumental in Kenji's return to normal life, from his relationship with Brooklynn, to his best friend Darius.

"All I wanna do is chill, you know? I've moved out somewhere peaceful. Started my climbing school. All is good in Casa de Kenji."

End Transcript. The page of Kenji's interview has a ragged edge, like the page next to it has been torn out. There is no interview for Brooklynn. End ID]

Craig Rosenberg's Jurassic Park III

Hi everyone, taking advantage of the fact that today is the 23rd anniversary of Jurassic Park III, I decided to share with you a story I created 😊

In 2021, a podcast called Stuck on Sorna had revealed the two proposed scripts for the third film in the Jurassic Park franchise, but which were discarded by Joe Johnston in favor of a simpler story for the film. Even though I've never heard this podcast, I saw the artwork and storyboards for both scripts and was surprised by it.

Soon, I had the idea of ​​creating a story for one of the two discarded scripts to imagine what Jurassic Park III would be like if this script was approved by the director. So I chose the first discarded script for the film, which was written by Craig Rosenberg. In addition to writing my version of JP3, I also made a drawing for this story.

At the end of last year, I was thinking about rewriting my version of JP3, because I wanted to make it even better. In May of this year, I decided to remake the story from scratch, where I was not based exclusively on the script written by Rosenberg, on which I was also based on the film Jurassic Park III, the book The Lost World by Michael Crichton and Jurassic Park: The Game.

Furthermore, I also made a new drawing for my story, a collab I made with my friend, Camila Vytória.

She is a super talented artist who makes realistic arts and watercolor paintings, as well as being a kind and very friendly girl. I've drawn the dinosaurs and the logo, but Camila did most of the work, where she drew the characters and painted the entire drawing.

Despite this, I helped her when she designed the characters, as only I knew what they would look like. Thank you very much for doing this collab with me, because the drawing was incredibly wonderful ❤️ If you want to see her work, click here: https://www.instagram.com/vcamilart/

The characters in my drawing are (from left to right): Amanda Santos de Oliveira, Nicholas "Nick" Harris, Ellie Sattler, Alan Grant, Alexander "Alex" Santos de Oliveira, Lewis Dodgson and Gisele Thorne. And the dinosaurs that are in the drawing are: Spinosaurus, Velociraptors (male and female), Tyrannosaurus rex, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops and Pachycephalosaurus.

To draw Alan and Ellie, Camila was based on Alan as seen in Jurassic Park III and Ellie as seen in Jurassic World: Dominion, respectively.

To draw Lewis Dodgson, she had based herself on a fanart of this character made by a fan. Unfortunately I don't know what this artist's name is :/

To draw Alex, Camila was based on myself, except for the hair, because besides me not being redheaded in real life, she was inspired by the hair of the human version of Ray, a character created by Elise M. Syvertsen (oomizuao).

To draw Alex's twin sister, she was based on the singer Avril Lavigne.

To draw Nick, Camila was based on my best friend, NOTG. As for Gisele, she was based on a random image of a black girl when she went to draw this character, lol

Well, now that you know the whole story behind my version of JP3, have a good read ^w^

In 1995, two years after the events of the first film, the story begins with dinosaur attacks on the mainland of Costa Rica, such as Compsognathus devouring a baby, Pteranodons attacking a small group of people at a baseball game, Velociraptors devouring a farmer, his son and his cows, etc. Because of these attacks, the Costa Rican government realized that the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar were migrating to the mainland and to prevent further attacks, the government secretly bombed the island. InGen was held responsible for the attacks, paying millions to the victims and for their absolute silence, as no one could know anything about this, just as no one could know everything about the events of the first film until then.

In addition, it is also revealed that after the events of the first film, InGen signed a total confidentiality agreement with all the survivors, where everyone was forbidden from disclosing any information about the incident that occurred on Isla Nublar. However, despite all those involved having signed a term committing to complete secrecy regarding the facts and the fact that most of them are unwilling to talk about what happened, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm still revealed to the media everything that happened, from InGen's attempts to clone dinosaurs to the collapse of the dinosaur park, which almost destroyed their credibility, as they had no way of proving their claims under the threat of legal action from InGen.

When Alan, Ellie and Ian tried to find evidence for their claims, they discovered Biosyn's alleged involvement in the incident, including a supposed man who works for them, Lewis Dodgson. Unfortunately, the trio were unable to find any more clues about Biosyn's involvement in the incident and what exactly it did. In 1998, a year after the events of the second film, Alan Grant spoke at a paleontology conference alongside his wife, Ellie Sattler, about his most recent research: his discovery of the intelligence of Velociraptors. However, Alan and Ellie are struggling to secure funding for their research, as people are more interested in the dinosaurs created by InGen than in the real dinosaurs that lived over 200 million years ago.

During the Q&A session, someone in the audience asks Alan if he would be willing to test his theory in practice. The paleontologist identifies the person as a 17-year-old teenager, Alexander Santos de Oliveira. The red-haired boy has been attending the renowned paleontologist's lectures and he seems to be very interested in his research. Alex then talks about InGen and Jurassic Park, saying that now that dinosaurs have been brought back to life through genetic engineering, Alan could finally test his discovery by studying the Velociraptors of Isla Sorna alongside Ellie. However, Alan and Ellie are not at all interested in this, saying that the creatures that inhabit the island are not dinosaurs, but rather monsters created in a laboratory by John Hammond and his company InGen, who claim that the real dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago and what remains of them are fossilized.

The couple ends by saying that nothing in this world will make them return to an island full of dinosaurs due to the traumatic experiences they had during the events of the first film. After the talk, Alan and Ellie are approached by the redhead boy, who really wanted to talk to them. Alan refused, because he saw that teenager with bad eyes, since apparently he was a rocker and in his view, rockers, metalheads, punks, skinheads, etc. are rowdy and ill-natured people. However, Ellie sympathized with Alex and convinced Alan to talk to him, because in addition to the fact that he was the only one interested in her husband's research, it was the first time she saw a young man his age admiring their work.

During the conversation, Alex says that he has always been a fan of them and that he has admired their work since childhood, in addition to the fact that he is passionate about dinosaurs. In addition, they discuss the intelligence of Velociraptors, raising the hypothesis that Velociraptors were intellectually and socially advanced, surpassing even primates. If it were not for the extinction of the dinosaurs, Alan believes that raptors could have become the dominant species on Earth. He theorizes that their intelligence came from their ability to communicate with each other, using their resonance chambers. This new discovery could change the view of these dinosaurs in paleontology as a whole.

Later that day, Alex went on vacation with his girlfriend, Gisele Thorne, and their friends to Nau'i Island, an island a few kilometers away from Costa Rica, which is a resort and tourist attraction for many people around the world. However, during the trip, the plane suddenly crashed, where the crash was caused by a dry run caused by a lack of fuel. Most of the passengers died after the plane crash and the only survivors were Alex, Gisele and their two friends, Ash Campbell and Nicholas "Nick" Harris.

After the private jet crashed on a mysterious island, before meeting up with the others, Ash had found a dead baby dinosaur in the wreckage of the aircraft, where after reuniting with his friends, the 4 teenagers were attacked by the Spinosaurus, who was apparently very angry and wanted to kill them at all costs, chasing them relentlessly. However, after a long chase, the 4 teenagers managed to lose him by entering an area that was protected by a fence that was still electrified. 3 weeks later, after giving another lecture and failing once again in their attempt to get some funding for their research, Alan and Ellie receive an unexpected visit from a billionaire couple.

This couple claims to be Alex's parents, where they both discovered that he had disappeared on Isla Sorna after the plane he was taking off in crashed. The US and Costa Rican government agencies refused to help them, due to the fact that the island is a restricted area. The couple then offers the two protagonists funding for the research if they rescue Alex and his friends. Initially, Alan strongly refuses the offer, but Ellie manages to convince him to accept the couple's proposal, saying that this was their chance to get the money for the research and the mortgage on the house, since they are about to lose the house if they do not pay the mortgage by next week.

That same day, after discovering the existence of a second island inhabited by dinosaurs due to the repercussions of the events that occurred in the second film, Biosyn's chief scientist, Lewis Dodgson, meets with two men: George Baselton (an biologist) and Howard King (a Biosyn geneticist). Dodgson explains that 2 years after the failure of Jurassic Park, several dinosaurs were migrating to the Costa Rican mainland, which forced the country's government to take drastic measures: bombing that island. Since Isla Nublar no longer exists, all of Biosyn's plans went down the drain. However, a year ago, the T. Rex attack in San Diego brought the truth to light, and now the whole world knows about this incident, the Isla Nublar Incident, and the bombing of this island.

Now that Biosyn knows about the existence of Site B, InGen's main breeding and research site, this is their only chance to turn things around and clone their own dinosaurs to exploit them and make tons of money from these animals, where Dodgson, George, and Howard need to collect all the information and biological material, in other words, steal all of InGen's research and dinosaur eggs. The next day, a 17-year-old girl with long, brown hair named Amanda went out on a date. However, what her parents didn't know was that she was actually going to the port to look for someone who could take her to Isla Sorna by boat, as she is Alex's twin sister and wants to save her brother on her own.

After her brother disappeared on that dinosaur-infested island, Amanda is willing to do anything to get him out of there, as she believed that her parents' plan would fail, since it was very likely that Alan and Ellie would never accept their proposal to go to the island to rescue him, not even for money due to the traumatic experiences they both witnessed in the Isla Nublar Incident in 1993. However, after the girl arrived at the port, everyone there refused to help her, because even if she paid them a large sum of cash, the island she wanted to go to is a restricted area, in addition to the fact that it is a very dangerous place due to the dinosaurs.

Before she could give up, Amanda runs into a group of fishermen, who were already preparing to leave. She asks for a ride to Isla Sorna, but one of the fishermen refuses, saying he doesn't want to babysit a teenager. The girl then offers the fishermen $10,000 if they take her to the island, which they all accept. Near Isla Sorna, the boat is attacked by several Pteranodons, who kill everyone except Amanda, who managed to save herself by shooting one of the Pteranodons that attacked her, where she ended up falling into the sea. Minutes later, Amanda is unconscious on the beach, until she feels something like a rough tongue passing over her face. When she opens her eyes, she sees a Microceratus on top of her. She is frightened by the animal and it runs into the woods.

When she gets up, all sore, she hears human voices further ahead. As she goes towards the voices, she sees the boat that took Dodgson, George and Howard docked on the coast of the island. She hears Dodgson's entire plan to steal everything they can from the island, from information to biological material. She leaves cautiously so as not to attract attention, while Dodgson and the others board the jeep and head to the island. In the jungle, Amanda tries to search for her brother, but is attacked by 3 Velociraptors, who ambush her. Before the dinosaurs can devour her, Alex, Nick, Gisele and Ash appear, dispersing the attack with tear gas bombs, and taking Amanda to a mysterious place where they were taking shelter.

Hours later, Alan and Ellie, along with a group of 7 armed mercenaries, are taken to the island by helicopter and parachute to land there. As they begin their search for the teenagers, the group is attacked and chased by Velociraptors, who kill 2 mercenaries. During the chase and much shooting that results in the death of several Velociraptors, Alan and Ellie lose the remaining mercenaries, but are saved by the teenagers, who are riding motorcycles. The group is chased by the Velociraptors to a cliff, where in an effort to escape the scaly predators, each of the teenagers takes a parachute from their backpack and jumps off the motorcycles to safety, while Alan and Ellie hold on to them.

After jumping, 3 Velociraptors jump in an attempt to catch the protagonists, but fail and fall to their deaths. In parallel, the mercenaries escape into a herd of Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus, causing a stampede; one mercenary gets lost from the others, who take refuge in the trees. The Velociraptors injure her and try to attract the other mercenaries to rescue her, but their trap is unsuccessful and they soon kill her. As they slide to the other side of the island, the teenagers take Alan and Ellie to their hideout, which is an underground laboratory that has been abandoned for years. At this time, Alan and Ellie meet Alex's sister and his friends. After telling them everything that happened, Gisele says that the Spinosaurus continued to chase them for some time, during which it tries to kill them for no apparent reason.

However, Nick and Ash deduce that the Spinosaurus wants revenge on them for the death of its cub, since one of them saw the body of a baby dinosaur that was in front of the private jet, implying that the aircraft killed the Spinosaurus's cub during the crash. In addition, the protagonists discover some secrets of InGen in that underground laboratory, such as the fact that in late 1997, InGen scientists came to Isla Sorna illegally with the intention of creating new dinosaurs (which explains why the Spinosaurus is one of the dinosaurs that are not on InGen's official list), InGen's plans to clone more dinosaurs with the intention of controlling them, and their plans to sell the dinosaurs as military weapons.

Not far away, Lewis Dodgson and his team found the Staurikosaurus nests. They throw gas bombs to scare the animals away. They take some eggs and put them in their backpacks, where they then leave for the next nest. A few hours later, Alan, Ellie and the teenagers meet up with the remaining mercenaries. However, the Spinosaurus, which had appeared by surprise, relentlessly pursues the group, but they manage to escape by entering an area that was protected by a titanium fence. However, to their great surprise, the great predator, which did not want to give up on chasing them in any way, manages to get through by destroying the titanium fence using all its absurd strength.

However, before the Spinosaurus could kill them all at once, the protagonists manage to escape by entering an abandoned observatory that was a few meters away. After looting eggs from several dinosaurs, Dodgson, George and Howard finally reach the nest of the Tyrannosaurus rex. In addition to the eggs, there was also the Tyrannosaurus couple and their cub. The wind was changing and foreshadowed a storm. The two were afraid and wanted to leave this one for last, but Dodgson insisted and said it was the most precious. In the nest, Howard threw the gas grenades and agitated the adult predators, while the cub fell asleep thanks to the effect of the gas. Even though they were agitated, they remained in place, refusing to abandon the nest.

Howard shouted for George to act. George entered the smoke with a gas mask, passing between the legs of one of the T. rex. He grabbed one of the eggs, but when he returned, the dinosaur's tail hit him and Howard caught the egg in mid-air. The wind began to disperse the gas. Dodgson started the car and Howard jumped into the jeep with the egg. When he stood up, George came face to face with the T. rex. He stood still, trying to keep the animal from seeing him, but the predator pressed its snout against him, clearly confirming that it had seen him. The Tyrannosaurus grabbed him and shook him. Howard regretted having left George behind and blamed Dodgson for everything that was happening. In the middle of the argument, the other T. rex emerges from the woods and headbutts the jeep, which plunges into the ravine.

Dodgson wakes up after a while. The jeep is upside down, on vines. As he gets up in great pain, Dodgson hears the roars of Tyrannosaurus rex not far away. He then takes the T. rex egg and puts it in his backpack along with the eggs of other dinosaurs that he had stolen earlier. Before escaping from the large predators, Dodgson ends up finding Howard, who is very injured; apparently he had broken his leg. Howard asks for help, but Dodgson abandons him right there, leaving him to die in the clutches of the Tyrannosaurus rex. Nearby, he finds a bunker. After devouring Howard alive, the Tyrannosaurus rex quickly go after Dodgson. He manages to open the door and closes it quickly, before the Tyrannosaurus rex can catch him.

In parallel, the group unknowingly enters an underwater tunnel, which turns out to be an underground aquarium. Luckily for them, there is no sign of any aquatic predator that could attack them. At that moment, while the group rested after all the running around and chatted among themselves, Alan began to feel more sympathy for Alex when he realized that he was a good-natured boy, since as the saying goes: Appearances can be deceiving. In addition, Alan and Ellie ended up developing a feeling of protection towards the teenagers, since the friendship between them was like a pleasant relationship between parents and children. Meanwhile, Dodgson finds a passage to the basement. He enters the dark place, but when feeling the wall, he notices a circuit breaker and turns it on.

The corridor lights up, revealing it to be a system of underwater tunnels. In one of the tunnels, Dodgson breaks down a door that takes him to a very luxurious office. Except for the thin layer of dust, everything seemed to be intact. Dodgson starts rummaging through the drawers and finds documents that indicate that InGen had bigger plans for the dinosaurs beyond entertainment: agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and even robotics. He takes everything he can find and puts it in his bag. Not far away, Alan and Ellie try to find a way out, while the mercenaries take care of the teenagers. Upon entering the underwater tunnel system, the couple meet Dodgson, who lies and says he is Steven Cameron, a paleontologist who went on an expedition to the island but ended up getting lost.

The couple offers to help him, as they also want to leave the island, and he accepts their help. When Alan and Ellie introduce Dodgson to the others, Amanda quickly recognizes him and denies what Dodgson said, stating that he is not a paleontologist who came on an expedition to the island, revealing his real reason for being on the island. At that moment, Alan and Ellie realize that he is actually Lewis Dodgson, the man who works for Biosyn, the same company that was supposedly involved in the Isla Nublar Incident. Before Alan, Ellie and the mercenaries could do anything, Dodgson, who had been discovered, quickly draws his revolver and shoots Alan, in addition to taking Alex as his hostage. Dodgson threatens to kill him if anyone tries to do anything against him, whereupon the villain slowly backs away.

He then kicks Alex's ass and manages to escape in time by getting into an elevator. To make matters worse, before leaving that place, the villain finds the aquarium control room located in the first dome and frees the Kronosaurus, which had been trapped in its cage for a few years. Alan, Ellie and the others are attacked by the Kronosaurus, which at all costs tries to break the tunnel glass to devour them. At one point, the marine reptile hit the glass again, where the crack in the glass allowed water to enter the tunnel, flooding it. The protagonists lock themselves in the aquarium's second dome before the rotunda above completely floods, only to discover that the damaged pressure seal on the door is causing the moon pool to slowly flood the room as well. Left with no choice, the protagonists don their respective diving gear and try to find a way out while trying to avoid the marine reptile.

The protagonists manage to lose the Kronosaurus and finally find an exit, which is a cave that leads them to the surface. Upon reaching the surface, they go to a port and find a boat that appears to be seaworthy, but is low on fuel. Alan goes to the port's warehouse to find some gas cans to fuel the boat. The place was damp and the moonlight illuminated the interior through the broken parts of the roof. There were many containers that formed a sort of maze. Alan hears deep breathing and heavy footsteps. Alan hides inside a half-open container and observes. It was a 7-foot-tall Carnotaurus, illuminated by the moonlight. Alan noticed that the animal's color pattern changed as it moved.

It was a camouflage mechanism. In addition, the dinosaur had chameleon-like eyes and a prehensile tail, suggesting that InGen created this dinosaur using chameleon DNA and that it also has 360-degree vision. The predator gets closer and closer to the container where Alan is hiding, but the others appear with flashlights that confuse the predator. The dinosaur invades the container while Alan escapes from under the animal's hind legs. The group trap the Carnotaurus inside the container. Knowing that this would not hold it for long, they hurry to set sail from there. They finally find a can of fuel and fill the vessel.

The theropod manages to free itself and chases the group, but Ellie manages to save herself and the others by shooting the Carnotaurus in the eye with a flare gun, slowing the dinosaur down and giving the group enough time to lose it. The next morning, during the boat ride, they encounter a group of Parasaurolophus, Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Ankylosaurus grazing in a field. Alan and Ellie marvel at how they coexist with each other and their environment. At dusk, Alan manages to call Alex and Amanda's parents, telling them that he and his wife have the twins. The billionaire couple says that they will arrange for a rescue helicopter to take them off the island tomorrow.

At one point, the protagonists see the silhouette of a man a few kilometers away. It was Dodgson, who was still trying to find a way out of that green hell. Alan then shoots Dodgson, stunning him. The group then ties him up using ropes that they had on the boat, trapping him. After capturing him, Alan and Ellie demand answers, wanting to know the whole truth. Dodgson reveals that he does in fact work for Biosyn, InGen's rival. Dodgson says that he has been tracking InGen's work for years and that he was the one who hired Dennis Nedry to steal dinosaur DNA embryos, which resulted in the collapse of Jurassic Park. He claims to have found valuable information from InGen's research and the most ambitious intentions it had for the dinosaurs.

Now it will be Biosyn's turn to make these ambitions a reality. In addition, Dodgson says that now that he has eggs from several species of dinosaurs on the island, he intends to create a hunting reserve, where dinosaurs could be hunted for sport, in which only very rich people could enjoy it by paying him millions of dollars. Upon learning everything, Alan, in a fit of rage, punched the villain in the face, who still mocked him. The paleontologist was going to beat the criminal, but is stopped by the others. At that moment, the protagonists went to discuss what to do with Dodgson; Alan, Amanda and Ash wanted him dead, while Ellie, Alex and Gisele wanted him arrested for all his crimes. Nick and the mercenaries were really unsure of what to do with the villain, since both options (killing or taking Dodgson to the police) had their ups and downs.

Before they could definitively decide what to do with the villain, the protagonists are attacked by the Spinosaurus again. During the attack, Ash sacrifices himself to save Amanda from the Spinosaurus, dying in the process. The Spinosaurus then turns the boat over, opening the engine and spilling fuel oil into the river. As the boat was submerged, Dodgson manages to free himself and barely escapes the Spinosaurus's clutches, which almost devour him. The protagonists swim to the surface, where the 4 remaining mercenaries try to protect the others with their guns, using all their ammunition against the largest predator on the island. At one point, one of them fired a missile at the theropod, which, despite having seriously injured the dinosaur's right eye, was of no use.

Despite their efforts, the mercenaries were unable to kill the large predator, which killed two mercenaries. While the other two remaining mercenaries were still trying to kill the Spinosaurus, Alan fired a flare, igniting the spilled oil and scaring the Spinosaurus, which fled into the jungle, finally giving up on avenging the death of its cub. At the same time, after fleeing into the forest, Dodgson was attacked by a Dilophosaurus, which cornered him. When the Dilophosaurus was about to kill him, the same pair of Tyrannosaurus that Dodgson had stolen the egg from appeared and scared the dinosaur away, scaring it far away. Dodgson quickly stood still, trying not to be seen by the pair of predators. However, to his great surprise, the male T. rex grabbed him by the leg, making him scream in pain. The villain's backpack was slightly open, where the female T. rex sniffed the backpack and realized that it lost egg was inside along with eggs from other dinosaurs.

The two Tyrannosaurus roar angrily at Dodgson, who then removes the egg from the backpack and rips it open. The female Tyrannosaurus, along with it mate, take the egg and Dodgson to their nest, where Dodgson is eaten alive by the T. rex cub. The next day, near the coast of the island, the group hears the sounds of a helicopter, and upon seeing where the sounds were coming from, the group realizes that a military helicopter had in fact landed on the coast of the island. Alan, Ellie, Alex, Amanda, Nick, Gisele, and the two remaining mercenaries are rescued, and they all leave the island safely. As the helicopter heads towards the North American continent, the Pteranodons fly by, apparently looking for new nesting sites. Later, Alan and Ellie receive the money for the research and the mortgage on the house, as Alex and Amanda's parents had promised.

WIP Wednesday

With any luck, this should be the last Wednesday where the Jurassic Park fic (now titled 'Incident at Isla Nublar', but I'm open to suggestions) counts as a WIP.

“This is it?” Anakin would freely admit he didn’t know much, when it came to heavy weaponry, but he could recognize tranquilizer darts when he saw them, and the only things in Rex’s armory cabinet in the emergency bunker that weren’t tranquilizer guns was one shotgun and something that looked like a small missile launcher.

Rex came very, very close to rolling his eyes in Dooku’s direction. “These assets represent a significant financial investment” – he started to say, very obviously repeating what he’d been told when he’d undoubtedly asked the same question when he’d been hired as game warden.

“Ah.” Anakin got the picture. Dooku hadn’t wanted dead animals on his hands. (Of course, now he was going to end up with dead humans on his hands, which was an even worse look, but that was between him and Maul’s survivors, now.) “Can I have the shotgun?” he asked Rex.

“No,” Rex said firmly. “What I do not need is a civilian who I now have to carry because he shot himself in the foot.”

“I promise I won’t shoot myself in the foot.”

“That’s what everyone says before they shoot themselves in the foot.” Rex took out the rocket-launcher-thing and then closed the cabinet. He’d placed Ahsoka on the table in the center of the room, as there weren’t any chairs to speak of, and she was breathing heavily but otherwise conscious and capable of speech, which Anakin had to guess was probably a good sign. Dooku was just going to have to stand and watch over her, because they didn’t have anything else for him to do.

Then Anakin had a thought. “Hey. If either of you” – he pointed to Dooku and Ahsoka – “hear a knock on the door, please let my family inside.”

Ahsoka attempted a smile. “What if it’s a raptor, though.”

“Who knows how to knock?”

“Your boyfriend said they’re really smart.”

“Well, if they learn how to knock on doors then we’re all doomed,” Anakin said with a grin, and only belatedly realized Ahsoka had just called Obi-Wan ‘your boyfriend’ and also that Anakin had both known exactly who she was referring to and hadn’t corrected her. Before he could be too embarrassed about this – or how smugly she was smiling – Rex told him it was time to move out.

“Hey, Skywalker?” Ahsoka called weakly, just as Anakin put his hand on the door handle to turn it.

“Yeah?” He twisted around to catch her eye.

“They’re okay, you know,” she said, as firmly as she could manage. “Your kids. You’re going to find them. Who better to get them through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert?”

Anakin threw her as brave a smile as he could manage and went out the door before anyone could see him start to tear up.
