Chapter 2 part 2: Flight to Nublar
The passengers filed one by one into the jet. Grant was puzzled at why they were going on such a small plane. Surly, he thought, the filming equipment and animatronics could not fit in this thing. Billy must have noticed the same.
“What about all of the equipment?”
“Our main crew is already on the island, they’ve been there for two days,” Simone answered. Robert Dalva boarded the plane, and sat down near the front.
“Why is the editor coming,” Billy asked, “I thought they waited until the film was completed before editing.”
“That used to be the case,” Simone replied, “But now they edit as soon as the scene is filmed. That’s the great thing about digital cameras.”
The rest of the crew gathered on the plane. Grant had met most before, but there were five unrecognizable faces in the group.
“I see you’re wondering about the others, Dr. Grant.”
“Yes, it had crossed my mind.”
“To your left is Igor Karev. He’s your character’s stunt double.”
“Why am I Russian,” Grant asked.
“Trust me Dr. Grant,” Simone said, “You won’t notice in the film.”
Grant grunted, and inquired about the others.
“Up front we have Denis Serhiy, Malcolm’s stunt double. Next to him is Mary Slusar, Ellie’s stunt double.”
“Where do you get these people,” Alan said, “They look nothing like us.”
“As I said earlier,” Simone said impatiently, “You won’t notice when you see the film.”
“I still don’t like it. Who are the other two?”
“Marlin Dodge is Gennero’s stunt double.”
She hesitated. Simone wasn’t sure how Alan would respond to the other person.
“The other man is another consultant.”
“Well, who is it,” Billy asked.
“ Michael Nedry, Dennis Nedry’s brother.”
Grant looked shocked, but deep down he was not surprised. After all, he thought, they need people from both sides.
“Everyone settle in,” Jim, the pilot, interrupted. “It’s a long flight to Nublar.”
Flying high over the Pacific Ocean, the esteemed paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant had just fallen asleep. The rest of the passengers discussed the filming of the movie so far. Billy walked over to Dalva, who was reviewing film clips of the cast dodging invisible dinosaurs. Looking at the pictures, he just had to laugh. It just looked so unnatural.
He, abruptly, stopped laughing when he saw the next clip. He shuddered, it looked frighteningly real. The animatronic Velociraptor hissed at the camera.
“That robot malfunctioned and almost killed someone,” Simone said as she walked up behind him, “I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be around the real thing.”
“Trust me, you wouldn’t want to know.”
Grant jumped out of his seat. He had been dreaming again.
“Are you alright Alan?”
“Yeah Billy, I’m fine.”
Grant was drenched in sweat. Billy knew what Grant was going through. He had experienced insomnia himself for a month after his ordeal. Alan’s would come and go, but Billy could see that it was getting worse. He worried that this trip might be too much for him.
“We are approaching Isla Nublar now,” Jim said.
Everyone on the plane looked out the windows. Grant’s body shook with fright at the memories. The distant outline of Nublar was as ominous and mysterious as it appeared fourteen years before.
