Jordan was rocking in a old yet comfortable rocking chair with his eyes closed and feet up on a table. He was snoring slightly against the gently sounds of machinery and the sqweels and creaks from other surrounding eggs. His left had was crooked over the side of a cradle type of thing (Its hard to explain. His fingers brushed occasionally against the infant Chasmosaur's side as she breathed evenly as she slept.
As he entered the enclosure, he found his beloved dinosaur rolling on the ground.
"Hey Riot." He said quietly, walking slowly up to the large reptile.
"I heard you won't eat..will you eat for me?" He whispered, patting the stubborn creature's muzzle, "They got Goat for you.." Cai murmured, grabbing a cooked piece of steak from the bag on his back, and tossed it to him.
"There's your treat for the day love." He whispered, slowly creeping away from him and out of the door.
26 opens her large eyes. She sits up and her back rubs against Jordan's 'lifeless' hand. He huffs but just rolls his head to the other side. The infant squirms around and leaps out of the crib like thing. She walks over to a neat pyramid of blocks and other assorted toys and starts to roll around a large ball. She honks quietly as she chases at around the room and around Jordan
A sharp whistle cut through the air as Zora patiently stood in the clearing of her raptor's enclosure, holding a chum bucket. For a moment, it was a complete silence, before growls and the rustling of bushes were heard. Then 3 raptors leaped out of the bushes, each with their own little distinguishing feature on them, ready for a hunt. "A good morning would do." She chuckled as she petted Delta and Alphina before tossing a rodent to Shadow. She looked up for a signal form one of the crewman before looking down. "Alright ready?" She asked as she tossed them a bit more meat, before walking out of the enclosure and looking down from above. "GO!"
Olivia decided to go to the raptors enclosure to see how Zora was doing with the Raptors were doing. “Boss needed a report on them.
Sabriel was content to sit upon Mori as she grazed from the trees. He watched the goings on with interest, yet hadn't the confidence to join in. He was tired, but didn't sleep, just leaned against his dinosaur's great back and watched.
Once he made it out of the enclosure, he walked through the park, not sure what he should be doing now. He absentmindedly searched for Sabriel, hoping he could convince him to join in on a very stupid, but clever prank.
He hadn't yet befriended his coworker, but decided he should at least try.
26 knocks the ball next to the pyramid. she spins around and her powerful yet small tail knocks it over with a loud crash. She honks loudly, jumping away.
Jordan yelps at the noise and jumps up from his sleep. He sighs at the sight of 26. He huffs and picks her up, "You're supposed to be asleep…" He grumbles. She honks quietly a few times in his arms as he sets her back in the crib and starts to gently rock her back to sleep.
Trinity looked at the clock, realizing she had been up all night. Her eyes were bloodshot from the bright screen and numbers. She slammed her head against the desk. The numbers don't make sense. She goes over the binary codes on the printed paper, matching DNAs with charts on the screen. Her desk was clustered with papers, as she scrambled to the phone. "Are the results back from the fragments we found in the Indoraptors bones?" she called in the lab, anxiously.
Olivia got a messages on her phone “We need you at the lab. Information in the bones has come out and you may want to see this.” She sighed and responded with a quick affirmative and went to the lab locking the main enclosure gate behind her.
Sabriel saw Cai coming a long way off from his perch, and hesitated a moment before standing up on Mori's back and waving to him. He hadn't talked much to him yet, but what little he had, he had immensely enjoyed. He hoped that he wouldn't find a way o ruin their friendship before it even started, like he always did.
Maybe I shouldn't have waved, he thought to himself. He's probably busy, and I don't want to bother him…
He began to sit back down,convinced that he had made a nuisance of himself.
Jordan looks around the nursery. There was a large window on the other side that looked into the labs. He sighs and walks to it, watching without really registering.
Olivia walked into the lab “so what’s the new info?” She asked. Looking around she saw many of the scientists working on stuff and others taking notes “Hey Trin! Woah- you look horrible. When was the last time you slept?” She asked
"It doesn't matter," Trin shrugged it off, picking up a sheet from the piles. "It doesn't make any sense, the dinosaurs genetic information seems, I don't know, different. None of the DNA is matching up with the ones we collected last month. DNA doesn't just change. Something is wrong. I've went over the numbers over and over, getting the same results. It's impossible!" Trin chuckled a little. "Well, remember when we thought bringing dinosaurs back was impossible?"
Jordan sighs then looks back at 26. Then to the scientists.
"It doesn't matter," Trin shrugged it off, picking up a sheet from the piles. "It doesn't make any sense, the dinosaurs genetic information seems, I don't know, different. None of the DNA is matching up with the ones we collected last month. DNA doesn't just change. Something is wrong. I've went over the numbers over and over, getting the same results. It's impossible!" Trin chuckled a little. "Well, remember when we thought bringing dinosaurs back was impossible?"
“Yeah. But I’m not sure why the DNA wouldn’t match, I read and reread the analysis about 100 times! There shouldnt be any complications!” She exclaimed
"Don't blame me!" Trin acted up, probably from lack of sleep. She snapped, grabbing a DNA sample from the tube tray, and slammed it on the floor. "I am going on a run." She stormed out of the building.
“I wasn’t blaming her though.” She said quietly. She picked up a lab report and read it over. “Hold on a second, Who authorized a cross breeding?!” She asked the scientists.
One scientist spoke up. "Trinity. She reopened one of her father's cases, mam."
“Who gave her authority?” She asked the scientist
Jordan walks back to 26 and sighs. He crouches down and leans his chin on the side of the crib.
Olivia groaned and looked at the results to see they were positive. She looked at the other lab report and saw something “ somebody page trinity and tell her to come to the lab immediately there’s a problem.” She said urgently
"Her father was the head of the laboratory before, mam. Most of the workers here see Trinity more in charge than she actually is. Although, she may be onto something. Yes, her father was crazy, psychotic, and caused huge problems. But I fear his theories are truthful, mam. The mutations are unraveling." A shiver went down the scientist's spine.
Faster. Trinity pushed on, passed the Sauropod enclosures, passed the Carnivores, the incubators, the nursery. She ran until her legs gave out. She slapped the concrete path, her emotions clouding her pain.
Jordan watches Trinity pass by then looks down the halls to see if anyone was running after her. He had seen her face and how angry or whatever emotion it was.
Addy played with Bleu in her pen. "You want this? You want this?" She asked in a baby voice, wrestling with Bleu over a slab of raw meat.
