OOC: sry i havent been able to post IC: After picking me up at my base's airport the whirly bird I was riding in headed out into the ocean, and I cant begin to describe seeing an ocean of water after seeing that ocean of sand day after day. "Where are we?" I shout into the headphones. "A about 30 miles south of Isla Sorna an island off of costa rica" I hear the pilot say through the head phones. After a few minutes I can see the island, lush in greenery and life. "Now thats a good site" I say, "That it is son" I hear the pilot say. After landing on the helipad a red and whitish jeep took me to what was the Visitors center (when i was a kid I had the toy one of them, and let me tell yah, it would make sounds at random, would never shut teh hell up!) "Nice gun soldier" The driver of the jeeps says after seeing my beretta pistol, "Thanks, isnt loaded though" I laugh. I walk into the building and I see a group of people working a T-rex skeleton, sispending it in the air. "Hey buddy wheres the lab?" I ask the nearest worker, after looking me over the worker points in a direction "That way". I walk to the door and knock on it.

The jeeps split up, one going to the power station bunker, another towards the raptor pens, after a truck with a live cow in the back, and ours headed towards the visitors centre, dropping us off at the side entrance.
"Nice place, what the..?"
In the main lobby two huge skeletons are suspended in a combat pose, a T-Rex about to bite into a Alamosaurus.
"Spared no expense eh?"
After gawking for a few minutes I head towards the cafe. Taking a seat at a bar.
"Coffee, cream, no sugar."

IC: "I know I should be more patient but..." I say to myself after waiting for a bit, "they must be busy, I'll go get me something to eat." I say as I walk over to a map and plot my course to the Cafe. Walking up to it I see a older man in a very loud shirt (my eyes are hurting just thinking about it IRL lol:D) "hey can I get a beer?" I ask the guy at the counter, "ID?" damn! I say to myself. OOC: BTW I am wearinf civvy clothes, the only way to see that I am a marine is my dog tags and the pistol on my hip.

Miranda head towards the cafe with a laptop and a few files in hand, hoping to get more concentration arround all the detailed statues. She takes a seat, across from the man with a quite...vibrant Hawaiian shirt and left of a man with a sidearm. "Hello boys" She says as she gets a cup and fills it with coffe and she grabs a sandwhich.

I laugh as the clearly underage kid tries to order himself a beer.
"Better luck next time slick."
I tip my head to greet the woman, must be one of the geneticists.
"Afternoon ma'am."

"You look like you work here miss, have you seen my uncle? His names Inman" I ask the women. All the while saddened by the fact I can't get a beer.

Miranda turns her head towards the kid who curses himself for being unable to get any beer. "Aren't you like 19? A little too young for beer right? And the last time I checked it's 1:22PM, too early to become intoxicated." She adds with a roll of her electric blue eyes. She turns back to the man who greeted her. "And a Afternoon to you." She says defty as she returns to her work. "Oh and I think he's over by Sick bay..." She trails off not lifting her head from her laptop.

"Anthony Rogers, my friends call me Tony. I run one of the boats by the dock."

IC: I accept the handshake "Justin Inman, 1st Sergeant" I turn to the women. "I'm 20 lady, and if fighting over in a desert dont merit me being able to get a beer then what would?" I say with some iritation. I grab my pistol and start twirling it slowly on my finger, something i do when I am thinking.

She looks at the kid with the berreta. "Ah, A soldier? Well then, you're prone to taking orders. Gun. Away. Now. Last thing I need is for you to accidentaly discharge that firearm or panic somebody." She say only lifting her head from her laptop momentarily. She focuses her attention onto the other man. "Ah, so you're Tony? I expected you to be more...younger." She says disapointed.

Another jeep would pull up in front of the visitor centre, pulling into one of the staff parking bays there. It looked different from the tour jeeps - faster, and capable of doing more off roading, for one, and it had a Green Cross emblazoned on the hood and doors.
A haggard looking man in Jeans, t-shirt and a labcoat would enter the main facility, heading over to the cafe with an old fashioned doctors bag clutched under one arm - only, instead of the staff and snake emblem it had a green cross in the background, with the park's trademark T-Rex skull in the foreground. Ahh, the vet, apparently.
"Double latte please... uhh.. make that triple." He turned to the others, more for someone to witter to than anything else. "Hehe.. you have no idea how draining treating an Brachiosaurus for electricity burns is.." His good humor drained for a moment, scowling. "I wish they'd hurry up and fix the fences... one of my babies might get seriously hurt!"

My ears perk up. I've been looking forward to the parks opening, so I'll try to talk with anyone who gets to see the inside.
"Wow, you have Brachiosaurs? Those things must be huge."

Khallos put the bag down on the counter in front of him, taking his latte with a grin and flashing his ID card to the tender, before looking to the curious stranger next to him. "Hehe, ohh, yeah... but not our biggest. Not the half of it... you a visitor here, then?" He grinned, taking a sip. "I think that your going to be.. impressed, to say the least."

"Oh, I'm just working down at the docks in my spare time. Mr Hammond hired me to get some of the employees to and from the island."
I catch a glimpse of the ID. A vet, so he gets to see these things daily?
"But I've been looking forward to the opening. Mr Hammond must be very generous to open this place to the public, most guys would close it up for the rich people."

"Oh? Hehe, ahh, I see... Hehe, we,, i suppose your one of our more important employees, hmm? Hehe, after all, we wouldnt be anything without out guests.." He grinned, before taking another sip, beating down his Einsteinien hair with one hand
"Hmm.. Me too. Its been hard work, though... The dino's all keep getting hurt, or come down with a foot infection or something.." He sighs, and then grins. "Allthough.. Heh, I suppose Kids will be Kids. Im just glad that me and the medical team came up with vaccines so quickly..." He sniffed some. "And.. nooo. Mr Hammond isnt like that.. Heh, hes like.. I dunno, a big kid, i guess.. he just wants to share his amazing work with the world." Khallos grinned. "Hes a nice guy."

"Yeah, nice guy."
I finish my coffee and order second.
"By the way, I just dropped off some of your people, and a guy asked me to wait a few hours before I bring the other employees back to the mainland. What's up with that? Did something happen?"

Khallos blinked a few times. "Uhh.. Not that i know of.. allthough, tonites the grand Opening. Mr Hammond wanted to give a big speech... maybe your invited." He grinned widly, chuckling and raising an eyebrow as the guy outside shouted. "Check the signs!" He yelled, poiting to the big sign on the wall in the T-rex Skellington room.. one of the arrows on which pointing to sickbay. Guest health and saftey, and all that...

OOC: we all r gonna go on the tour right? IC: "Thanks dude" I shout back. Following the signs I get to the sick bay. As i walk in I see my uncle flirting with the nurse. I stay back for a bit and watch it play out, all the while chuckling slighty. "Still doin it huh Unc?" I say as i finally let myself know. "Of course what else?" My uncle says while laughing. After getting reauquanted (sp) my uncle shows me to cafe I had just left. "Hey clerk two beers" my uncle tells the guy behind the counter, "But sir he is undera-" the clerk starts to say "But nothing this lad right here was up untill a few days ago fighting for his country and if that dont mean be'en able to drink a beer then we can discuss it with Mr.Hammond" the clerk looks pale and gets out two glasses of beer, all the while I am smiling at the vet and the women. Me and him sit down and start talking, getting to the subject of the tour.

"Hell, that'll be good news."
I watch the kid walk in with one of the doctors, they must know each other.
"Heard In-Gen's putting the squeeze on Hammond though. They must want to make some serious cash out of this place. They might as well just buy some stock, Hammond could have this place raking in the cash."

"Yeah, they've developed a lot of the genetic engineering equipment and hired most of the scientists here. But they're getting edgy about Hammond making this place a family resort rather than try and profit by it."

David left the Tech Center soon after John started shouting at the interns. Deciding he would enjoy a coffee at the moment, he headed to the lobby cafe.
"I'll have a double latte'." he said, after a clearly underaged guy with a Berretta and an older man purchased a pair of beers. "I was up all of last night. Friggin things were screaming, so I had to check it out."
He took a seat. "Heya Doc. How that one Brachiosaur go? You know, the one with the burn?" David had been warned by some of the personel about the vet here. He had an odd...bond with the dinos. He might be a problem if an "emergency" occured.

"I dunno. I'm paid to make sure nothing comes out of the pens, and to make sure the animals are behaving about like they should. I think it was one of those tinier ones, the ones that travel in packs?
Hey Doc, what are they? You know, the ones that have that numbing enzyme in their saliva?"
