Day 4
“C’mon Mack, can’t this go any faster, were almost there!” Yelled Jake. Mack pushed his foot down as hard as he could. Then the Raptors stopped. They slowly shuffled back into the dense jungle. The InGen compound was dead ahead, they knew they couldn’t reach the humans in there. Not now, at least. Mack parked the hummer in a metal garage and walked inside to the old InGen compound. Most of the plants were cut away, most of the equipment was working. It looked pretty nice in there. Kyle handed Jake a paper, keeping his eyes on the computer. The paper said:
Survivors
Jake
Nick
Kyle
Laura
Derek
Bobby
Fred
Mack
Diego
Peter
Terrence
Jeremy
Jody
The last three names Jake didn’t recognize, but he didn’t know everyone there, after all. Sadly, he picked up a marker and crossed off Bobby. Kyle glanced at the paper and sighed.
“So where’s the hover-crew?” Asked Jake.
“We uh....well are last transmission said they were here.” Kyle said pointing to the map.
“That’s in water.” Kyle flipped a switch on a radio. It was the last transmission they recieved.
“Mayday mayday, this is the hovercraft, uh, the uh, the Runner. We’ve been attacked by something, and we are sinking, repeat, we are sinking. Oh no, here it comes ag!----” Jake sat silently. There last transmission.... Jake walked out the door.
“Where are you going?” called Kyle.
“To think up a plan.”
Laura suddenly sat up. “Spinosaurus aegypticus!” she cried.
“Um, what’s a spiny-spina-spinosaurus aegypty-uh-yeah.” asked Nick.
“A large theropod with a fin on its back. Had a crocodilian snout and long arms.”
“Sounds like our friend.”
“That’s because it is.” She sighed and looked in the corner. Her brother laid there, staring at the ground. They weren’t sure if he would make it. There only hope was the others would find them in time. They sat in the leaking hull of the Runner. If you haven’t guessed, the Runner is the hovercraft. Laura guessed they were maybe one hundred feet down, at least, and with the rough seas of Isla Sorna, it would be hard to save them. She sat back.
“Do you think there really is a pack of hyper-intelligent velociraptors on this island?” she asked, almost completely changing the subject.
“Dunno,” Nick replied. “Maybe. Didn’t Alan Grant say the ones he saw could talk to each other?”
“That’s what I heard.” Nick thought a moment.
“Then, maybe some of them got really smart on the last few years.”
“It’s possible. But that’s a pretty big jump from talking to human intelligence. It’s as though..” she stopped. “It’s like the hyper ones were smarter than the others from the start. But that couldn’t be right. Could it?”
“I don’t know.” Nick said, shaking his head. “I just don’t know......”
Scout ran up to another Raptor. He barked a few short notes and some long. He was saying a Spinosaurus had taken down a human craft. Knowing humans, it was likely they would try to save them. An excellent time for an attack. The humans would be surprised, and the Raptors could overtake them easily. They would take three directions, so as they would confuse the humans and attack every last one. The older Raptor ordered Scout to watch the crash site while the Matriarch (someone we humans and “inferior packs” would refer to as the Alpha Female Raptor) rounded up the troops for the largest assault ever staged against human beings on the island of Isla Sorna, Site-B...
“Looks like a storm is blowing in.” said Kyle, staring at a computer screen. “Only a little tropical one, coming in from the northwest, but we should hurry if we want to save the Runner crew. Jake nodded. Him, Mack, and Diego were to raise the crew of the Runner using the Hydronadon, their mini-submarine, while Peter, Terrence, and Jeremy were to scout around to make sure no dinosaurs attacked. Kyle and Jody were to stay behind. Everything was ready. Everything was perfect. Nothing could go wrong. Absolutely nothing. Who could believe in a matter of days, they would be fighting for their lives against an entire pack of enraged Velociraptors with very mysterious origins and hyper-intelligent minds...
