"Yeah, yeah, the Compys. I hate those things. Last week, one managed to slip the fence during a very short power outage, and it took a chunk outta my leg. I ended up tranquilizing it, because Mr. Hammond specificly stated that I was not to use deadly force unless 'something that could endanger the safety of the guests' happens."

Looked over to the newcommer, frowning a little. "Its fine, now, allthough you cut it kind of close, man.. couldnt you turn the voltage down? I thought we were displaying these creatures, not BBQing them."
He sniffed a little "Hrmm.. i think thats what yer talkign about." He said, nodding over to the Kid. "Heh, livley little buggers, they are.. but soo, cute." He grinned... and then got a shocked look at the secirty managers words. "That was YOU?! Dude, why did you use such a huge tranq! They're only small, it nearly died!"

"Well, I thought it was justified, as I couldn't feel my leg for a solid four days. And besides, it was the only thing I had at the moment. It was either almost OD it on anasthetic, or kick it."

Khallos blinked a few times, and then pouted. "Hrmmph.. only scared is all... after all, your about 18 times bigger than them.." he took a sip of his coffee. "Ive got it on a drip, now, and it should recover.. but the rest of the swarm are pissed. Might wanna give em a little more to eat to plactate them.."

John thought he needed to get upstairs. For one, it was cold down here, and two, he wanted to smoke. Thought he'd get a cup of coffee while he was at it. He made his way up to the main lobby and headed for the cafe. There were a couple eople sitting at the bar.
"Coffee, black. Thanks." The bartender go to filling a mug, and passed it to him. John noticed the Doc sitting a few seats away and moved over. "Hey, doc. We got a small problem with the Brachiosaurus pen, nothing serious. Damn computers, they're always malfunctioning." He also nodded to the security chief and went to shake the visitors' hands. "Names John Winnfield, head of computers here on Isla Nublar."

After the dinner was over, Hammond informed the guests that they'd have several hours until the tour began. Dr. Jeffrey decided to take the opportunity to go down to the cafe for a cup of coffee. When he got there, he realized he wasn't the only one with the idea.
"Uh, coffee... cream, 2 sugars please," he said to the bartender.

Khallos nodded to the other newcommer. "Heh, I got it, man... You know me, im not gonna let one of my babies spend long in pain..." He grinned, nodding tot he newcommer. "Heh, Heya, sir.. i guess this is what happens if you have free coffee for staffmembers."
Khallos' grin faltered for a moment, looking to the two computer techhies. "..Umm. if you two are here.. whos in the controll room?"

Wow, the cafe was filling up pretty quickly. There was Mr Hammond, more of his scientists. and was that Dr Jeffrey? The Chaotician. I think Trejo's wife had his book on the bedside cabinet.
"Wow, you've got a serious crowd here."

"Uh, yeah, seems like it." He offered the man a handshake. "I don't think we've met. I'm Dr. David Jeffrey; I'm one of Hammond's guests. You work here?"

"I've got some of my interns working on it, don't you worry none. And, of course, I needed to smoke." John lit up a cigar, tobacco grown and hand-rolled locally. As always, it was excellent. He noticed the cafe was starting to fill up with more visitors, the first of many waves of tourists. One of the squirellier lokking ones had just ordered coffee. John sat back down and enjoyed the coffee.
Ah... what the hell.
"Ham and cheese as well, thanks."

"I'm Tony Rogers, I'm kind of a part time guy. I work down at the docks."
I return the handshake.
"You probably found out on the way over, but the helicopters get shaky landing here, if you ever get airsick, I'm always ready for more work."

"Well, uh, thanks for the offer, but the helicopter ride was okay... at least on the way here." He glanced over at the striking blonde woman a few seats down at the bar. "Say, uh... you wouldn't happen to know who that is, would you?"

I look back at the lady working away at her laptop.
"Hell, I'm an ex fisherman, I'd be lucky to know her name."
I turn back to the doctor.
"Besides, I read one of your books, aren't you married?"

After going over the perimeter of the fences, David parked the jeep back in the garage. Everything was fine, unbeliveably. This crazy scheme of Hammond's might just work.
Heading back to the cafe, he ordered another coffee, and sat back down.
"Amazingly, the fences are okay, integrity-wise."

"Uh, divorced, actually," Dr. Jeffrey replied to Tony. "But I'm always on the lookout for a future... ex-Mrs. Jeffrey."

ooc: Had to give him the opportunity to say that.
ic: "Hmm, I know what you mean. So, what do you think of the place?"

OOC: Thanks, I was hoping to use that line. ;D
IC:
"Well, uh, Hammond got an earful of what I think earlier. But to give you the short version, uh... I think this whole thing is a dangerous mistake. The whole park is a... disaster waiting to happen."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. One time, I was hired to take a party out on a hunt for this cheeta who'd been terrorizing farmers in this one area of Nairobi. Anyway, long story short, two people wind up dead, I get mauled and spend months in a hopsital, and the cheeta ends up missing a head.
All it would take is one power outage for a long enough time, and we'll have a lot more than a single annoying Compy running around."

"That's a bit of a downer. Hammond's a smart guy, it's not like he cages these animals up. They get to run around."
I order a glass of water after my second coffee.
"I'm mean hell, you ever see King Kong? All the jerks lock the big guy up and scare him with flash photos. Hammonds not like that."

John overheard the conversation and jumped in. "Hey now, as the chief computer technician, I can assure, nothing will ever go wrong on this island. We've got this place locked down tighter than Alcatraz on a bad day, if you get my meaning."

"Yeah, john, I know that I for one trust you with the computer system, but I'm just saying one bad storm..." Like the one we're about to get. David thought.

Finally speaking up, "Yeah well in my experience when something can go wrong, it will." I say as my uncle leaves to his lab. "So I take it that most of you guys have some worries, in that case I am started to wonder if I should get out here" I say while drinking the last of my beer.

"Nah, like John said, the only way something big will get out is if the power goes out for more than three or so minutes. Even then, only the raptors may get out, but that'd be a pretty bad emergency."
