Terror Infinity - The Third Side
Chapter 2-1, Jurassic Park

Chapter 2-1, Jurassic Park

Two  large, open-top jeeps were driving toward us. Both had the Jurassic Park logo on its door sides.

Five people came out of those two Jeeps. Which I recognized all those characters.

John Hammond,the owner of the bio-engineering firm In-Gen and a well-known dinosaur fanatic, also he is the owner of this park.

Dr. Alan Grant, the protagonist I guess, Grant is athletic and down-to-earth meaning he easy to talk to. He's a paleontologist.

Dr. Ellie Sattler, Sattler is an attractive, twenty- four-year-old specialist in paleobotany. The partner of Dr. Alan Grant when it comes to fossil digging.

Dr. Ian Malcolm, a mathematician who specializes in the emerging field of chaos theory,with a vibrant personality and a wardrobe that seems to consist only of black (Damn a wannabe protagonist here) . He has always been skeptical that the idea of a park filled of dinosaurs could work.

Donald Gennaro, he forces Hammond into bringing Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm in to evaluate the park. Nevertheless, Gennaro's firm has a stake in In-Gen, and as soon as he sees the dinosaurs he starts thinking about all the money he can make.

I know all these characters. I also know their perspective. Sadly none of them had a direct cause of releasing the dinosaurs.

Hammond, the bearded old white man, walk toward the entrance. Grant spot a look at us.

Grant: "Mr. Hammond, who are those people over there."

Hammond: "Dr. Grant, those people are just the new consultants for Jurassic Park."

Malcolm: "I guess you can't have too many of those. You don't know when something possibly bad would happen right."

Annoyed by that expression Hammond continued on.

Hammond: "Right."

Hammond leads Grant, Ellie, Gennaro, and Malcolm up the stairs, talking as he goes,  Two ladies open the doors to the Visitor Center.

Businessman: "Remember you newbies, that we are given a identity, the identity is our role. You can interact with the cast, but don't do so in a way to change the plot. And no spoilers. That a minus 10 points per sentence."

The businessman lead us the way as he walk forward toward the cast. The rest of us followed through.

Hunter: "Okie dokie boss."

As we followed the cast inside through the the lobby of the still-unfinished visitor's center is a high-ceiling place, and has to be house its central feature, a large skeleton of a tyrannosaur that is attacking  bellowing sauropod.  Workers in the basket of a Condor crane are still assembling skeletons.  A staircase climbs the far wall, to another wing of the building.

Hammond: (continuing on, we don't know what he said before) "The most advanced amusement park in the world, combining all the latest technologies.  I'm not talking rides, you know.  Everybody has rides.  We made a living biological attractions so astonishing they'll capture the imagination of the entire planet!"

Uh, even though I know the plot here. I think that's quite the statement. I mean it's pretty correct in a sense.

Grant stares up at the dinosaur skeletons and just shakes his head.  Ellie catches his reaction.

Ellie: "So what are you thinking?"

Grant: "We're out of a job."

Oh yeah, Grant and Ellie are fossils diggers.

Ian Malcolm then popped in between them.

Malcolm: "Don't you mean 'extinct'?"

I heard the hunter holding his laughter in the background.

After a while of walking, we finally a room that resembles a theater, a real small theater. I believe it was a show room I guess.

The audience chairs all had those roller coasters safety bars that were usually on the ride.

Then I heard a message in my head.

       A player had died. Six players remaining.          

Then I turn around and look at the other players. Some faces were filled with a bit of despair, the rest has a blank face.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Hammond: "Why don't you all sit down."

Grant, Ellie, Malcolm take their seats in the front row of the fifty seat auditorium.  Gennaro sits behind them.  Hammond walks over to the giant screen in front of them.

Us players all took a seat, I was the only one who sat in the front row.

Behind Hammond, a huge image of himself beams down at him from the giant television screen.

Hammond (screen): "Hello, John!"

Hammond (stage): "Say hello! (then, fumbling with his three by five cards) Oh, I've got lines."

He scans them, looking for his place.  The screen Hammond continues without him,

Hammond (screen): "Fine, I guess!  But how did I get here?!"

Hammond (stage): "Uh..."

Hammond looks around trying to find his place.

Hammond (stage):"Here, let me show you.  First I'll need a drop of blood.  Your blood!"

The screen-Hammond extends his finger and the stage-Hammond reaches out and mimes poking it with a needle.

Hammond (screen): "Ouch, John!  That hurt!"

Hammond (stage): "Relax, John.  It's all part of the miracle of cloning!"

While the two Hammonds rattle on, the screen image splits into two Hammonds, then four then eight, and so on, like a an old shampoo commercial.

Grant, Ellie, and Malcolm huddle together excitedly in the audience. They were not the only ones too. I was doing it and so was middle school girl.

Grant: "Cloning from What?!  Low extraction has never recreated an intact DNA strand!"

Malcolm: "Not without massive sequence gaps!"

Ellie: "Paleo-DNA?  From what source?  Where do you get 100 million year old dinosaur blood?!"

Gennaro: "Shhhhh!"

The screen-Hammond is joined by another figure, this one animated.  Mr. DNA is a cartoon character, a happy-go-lucky double-helix strand of recombination DNA.  Mr. DNA jumps down onto the screen-Hammond's head and slides down his nose.

Hammond: "Well!  Mr. DNA!  Where'd you come from?"

MR. DNA: "From your blood!  Just one drop of your blood contains billions of strands of DNA, the building blocks of life!"

Mr. DNA has taken over the show, and is speaking to the audience from the screen.

MR. DNA: "A DNA strand like me is a blueprint for building a living thing!  And sometimes animals that went extinct millions of years ago, like dinosaurs, left their blueprints behind for us to find!  We just had to know where to look!"

The screen image changes from animated to a nature- photography look.  It's an extreme close-up of a mosquito, its fangs suck the deep into some animals flesh, its body pulsing and engorging with blood it's

drinking.

MR. DNA: "A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes, just like today.  And, just like today, they fed on the blood

of animals.  Even dinosaurs!"

The camera races back to show the mosquito is perched on top of a giant animated brachiosaurus.

The image changes, to another close-up, this one of a tree branch, its bark glistening with golden sap.  Mr. DNA leaps on the sap.

MR. DNA: "Sometimes, after biting a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on a branch of a tree, and get stuck in the sap!"

The engorged mosquito lands in the tree sap, and gets stuck.  So is Mr. DNA.  He tugs his legs, but they stay stuck.

MR. DNA: "WHOA!"

Now the tree sap flows over them, covering up Mr. DNA and the mosquito completely.  Mr. DNA SHOUTS from inside the tree sap.

MR. DNA: "After a long time, the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito inside!"

Well that was a bit interesting, if watching this as if it was on the movie was one experience, but watching with the characters is a whole another new experience.

Basically Jurassic Park runs on old Dinosaur DNA which they get from extracting fossilized mosquito.

Then the scene in the film changes to a science laboratory.
