"Well if you do want to leave, you'll need to find your own way, I'm being paid to wait a few hours."
I take a few gulps of my water.
"Besides, you're all being a little panicky aren't you? Look at all the staff here, real pros. Nothing they can't handle."

"Mainly Velcoraptors. Nasty things. I think we have about 5 or so here, but still, if they were to get out..." David shuddered at the thought. "I've hunted everything that breathes in Africa, but dinosaurs are a tad bit outta my league."

John shuddered. "Personally, I keep away from that bunker you call the raptor exhibit. Those things freak me out." He puffed his cigar. "The worst part isn't the claws or the teeth, either. Hell, half the animals on this island have those. But raptors... when they look at you, you can see it in their eyes. Those sons of bitches are smart." He put his cigar down. "That's why I was so afraid when that bug runnin around made it's way towards the raptor cages. God forbid if those things should ever get loose..."

"Yup. This one takes great joy in scaring the bejeezes outta me. I altered my route around the raptor exhibit, and he, or excuse me, she, all the dinos here are female, adapted to my new route.
If they were to get out, say goodbye Jurrassic Park, hello evac chopper, unless Hammond gives me permission to deal with the 'emergency'."

I start to chuckle at that. "Well then when is this tours starting again?"

"I think Hammond said... another hour or so." Dr. Jeffrey turned to the hunter. "And what's this about all the, uh, dinosaurs being female? How do you know they're all female? Does someone... go around the park and look up the dinosaurs' skirts, or...?"

"No, apparently they're just engineered that way. It's understandable. If they were to be able to breed, we'd be in serious trouble."

"Right, well y'all are getting really depressing, so I'm gonna head back to the docks and wait for my next job. Good meeting you all though."
I nod to the lady at the laptop on the way out.
"Very good meeting you."
I head out the front door and hitch a ride on one of the employee jeeps.

"I thought he was gonna go on the tour" I shrug my shoulders. I again take out my pistol and start spinning it on my finger.

"I think you scared him off," Hammond said, suddenly coming into the cafe. "You know, David (OOC: 'Me' David, not 'Oct' David), it's one thing for you to talk that way to me, but to go around scaring my employees?"
"Well, hey, now don't look at me," Dr. Jeffrey said. "I was just answering his question. These, uh, these guys here are the ones who started talking about all the, uh, potential problems with the park."
"Why, the way everyone's talking, it's almost as if you really expect something to go wrong. The whole park has a state-of-the-art security system; spared no expense. I'm sure any of our programmers will tell you that everything is in perfect working order for today's tour. Speaking of which, I think we're just about ready to start the tour. If you'll kindly follow me..."

"Quite honestly sir, I think the park does have a good chance of working. And you guys are going to see just how hard Mr. Hammond's worked....Even if he won't let me handle emergencies properly..." David muttered under his breath.

"Guess I'd better get going. Nice talking to you guys."
John made his way back down to the control room. Several techs were about, but he was left with almost a skeleton crew due to the upcoming storm.
Hell of a time to start operations... I've got 4, maybe 5 guys and they're not even my best ones. Couldn't he have waited a day?
John sat down at his terminal and logged in. About time for the big show.

Miranda is outside the main facility, on the phone. "Yes sir, I understand...The operation will go as smoothly as I can make it..." She assures her employer. She flips her phone and puts it in her pocket and walks inside. "Boys! We have an incoming storm! And, We need to finish the final testing of ALL security systems. Get to it." She says in the control room. "And you, Spit that cigar out now..." She tells the man sitting at the terminal.

"Kish my ash." John said with the cigar in his mouth, but upon Hammond's entry he reluctantly crushed it out and trash-canned it. "All right, testing security sytems. Ready people?" He waited. A few of the techs gave him the thumbs-up. "All right, East End, brachiosaur exhibit, testing. Positive. East End, triceratops exhibit. A-ok." John listed off the various sytems as they were run through the pre-emptive tests, and a short time later gave Hammond the thumbs-up. "We're a go, boss. Ready when you are."

OOC: Where the hell are we all? The lobby?
"Fascinating..." I exclaim while examining the potted fauna. "These plants have been extinct since the Triassic era!"
I continue walking with the group.
"So when are we going on that big car tour of the park we've been promised?"

ooc: Most people are in the lobby, I think Grig and Rei are at their posts, and I'm at the docks.
ic: I hang around on my boat for a bit, listening to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the '70s" on the radio.
"Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealers Wheel when they recorded this Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite from April 1974, that reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies continues."
"Hey buddy." A dock worker raps on the boat, I stand up to look at him.
"There's a storm coming this way, you might want to head out now."
"I've got a job to do. But thanks."
"Okay, but it'll be a few hours before it passes."
He gives me a key.
"That's for some of the shacks round here, give yourself some decent cover when the storm hits."
He runs off to ready another boat.
"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, Stuck in the middle with you."

Khallos came scurrying over into the control room, a clipboard under one arm and his doctor's traveling case clutched under the other.
"Here are the medical reports, Mr Hammond." He said, handing the wad of thick papers to his boss. "Thought you might like to see them before they're lost in the filing system... Heh, everything seems to be fine, apart from a few little.. accidents.." He frowned a little, looking over to the staff at the computers for a few moments. He'd made sure the burn report was at the top of the stack.

Miranda goes over to her terminal and she activates it. "And now...the show starts..." she says as she severs several minor electricity fail safe protocols. "For the final act...." She rigs the power to cut out by 20 minutes and when 5 minutes are left, it gives a 30 minute warning. She stands up with a grin. "Alright boys! Phase one is in action!" She says as she leaves her post and she stands in front of the HUGE monitoring screen.

Dr. Jeffrey and the other guests got into the jeeps as instructed. Once everyone was in, the jeeps started automatically and followed a track into the park. In front of them, a huge wooden gate with the words "Jurassic Park" at the top opened and they drove through.
"What do they have in there, King Kong?"
OOC: How many more Jeff Goldblum quotes do you think I can rip by the end of this thing?

The screen lights yellow and a robotic female voice says. "Warning, Warning Class 4 storm approaching." It says. Miranda checks her terminal and locks it out. "Alright boys, I thank you for your work." She says pulling a Five-Seven out of her bag. "20 bullets 5 technicians" She says smiling as she fires at the first one killing him.

OOC: Yup. What of it? "All this vegetation is unbelievable..." I mutter while surveying the passing scenery. "And those rock formations..." We pass a sign that says "Dilophosauraus" while simultaneously hearing the radio guide announce it on the transmitor. "Oh my god." I exclaim while glueing my eyes to the window. "Did he just say what I thought he just said?"
