Chapter 13

     By the gyrospheres, Marlo stood next to Gray while Zach stood just a bit away from them. The line for the ride was long, Marlo was thankful that not only does she get employee fast tracks but the boys have VIP access to all of the rides. Allowing them to cut in line, skipping hours of waiting.

     "Did you know the soft tissue is preserved because the iron in the dinosaur's blood generates free radicals, and those are highly reactive. So, the proteins and the cell membranes get all mixed up, a-an-and-and-and act as a natural preservative. DNA can survive for millennia that way."

     Zach ignored what Gray has to say, staring at a girl in the line. He began to flirt with the girl who was further in the row, while Marlo listened to Gray intently. She finally had someone other than Lowery to gush over dinosaurs with.

     "So, now, even if the amber mines dry up, they'll still have bones..."

     "Shut up."

     Zach pointed to the girl he was staring at. Gray looked at them then back to Zach.

     "What do you think's gonna happen from you just staring at them?"

     The girls giggled and got onto the ride. Zach looked rather embarrassed, Marlo looked down to Gray.

     "Thanks, man."

     "You're welcome."

     The girls in the gyrosphere disappeared while Marlo nudged Gray's side and held a fist out to him, Gray grinned, checking that Zach wasn't looking and touched his own fist to hers. Marlo placed her arm over his shoulder. She looked over to the manager of the ride as he spoke in a monotonous voice.

     "Enjoy the ride."

     A new gyrosphere arrives. Gray got in with Marlo right behind, she held onto Gray's hand as he got in. Zach followed after them, Gray sitting on the same seat as Marlo, slightly squished together.

     The man on the P.A cracked on;

"Pregnant women and those who suffer from motion sickness should consult with a doctor before riding this ride."

     The woman on the P.A continued in another language. Gray and Zach put their belts on while Marlo just wrapped and arm around Gray. The door closed and the gyrosphere went forwards. While the manager of the ride continues, in the same dead tone of voice;

     "Enjoy the ride."

     The manager's phone started to ring, he answered it. "Hello?" He paused before his voice comes out shocked. "Seriously?" He looked towards the tourists. "Uh...Sorry, folks. The ride is closed." Everyone clamoured and complained. He got out a manual and recited. "Everyone needs to proceed to the monorail and exit towards the..." They all spoke over him. "Come on, guys, I just work here."

-

     Henry Wu entered from one of the back areas of the lab and secures the door with a code. The woman on the P.A cracked on;

"Due to technical difficulties, all our exhibits are now closed."

     The message was repeated in Portuguese. Dr. Wu saw Mr. Masrani looking at him from the tourist's hallway. Wu was drinking tea behind his desk. Masrani stood in front of him. Wu spoke up.

     "You know that I'm not at liberty to reveal the asset's genetic makeup. Modified animals are known to be unpredictable."

     "It's killed people, Henry."

     Wu opened his hands out.

     "That's unfortunate."

     "What purpose could we have for a dinosaur that can camouflage?"

     "Cuttlefish genes were added to help her withstand an accelerated growth rate. Cuttlefish have chromatophores that allow the skin to change colour."

     Masrani sat down opposite Wu. "It hid from thermal technology." Wu took a sip of his tea, he paused in slight shock and put it down.

     "Really?"

     "How is that possible?"

     Wu stood up. He walked over to the table in front of his desk with a microscope and test tubes. "Tree frogs can modulate their infrared output. We used strands from their DNA to adapt her to a tropical climate." Masrani rubbed his forehead. "But I never imagined..."

     "Who authorized you to do this?" Wu turned to face him again.

     "You did. 'Bigger.' 'Scarier.' Um...'Cooler'" Wu laughed. "I believe is the word that you used in your memo. You cannot have an animal with exaggerated predator features without the corresponding behavioural traits."

     "What you're doing here...What you have done..." Masrani stood up. Messing with his blazer as he walked around. "The Board will shut down this park, seize your work, everything you've built. And Hammond won't be there to protect you this time."

     "All of this exists because of me. If I don't innovate, somebody else will."

     "You are to cease all activities here immediately." Masrani went to leave and stopped as Wu replied in a rather harsh and volatile tone.

     "You are acting like we are engaged in some kind of mad science." Masrani continued to mess with his blazer as he paced. "But we are doing what we have done from the beginning. Nothing in Jurassic World is natural." He forced out a laugh at Masrani. "We have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And, if their genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different." He stepped closer to Masrani. "But you didn't ask for reality. You asked for more teeth."

     Masrani shouted back, "I never asked for a monster!"

     "'Monster' is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat."

-

     Marlo and the boys were out in one of the grass areas, soft music from inside the gyrosphere plays as a notice popped up.

"Hey, there. I'm Jimmy Fallon. Welcome aboard the Gyrosphere, an amazing machine made possible by science. Your safety is our main concern. Which is why you're behind our invisible barrier system, which protects you from things like Dilophosaurus venom."

     He turned around and knocked some of the beakers, smashing them.

"One drop of this can paralyze you, so watch out."

     His fingers were covered in the green venom, some on his face.

     "Just watch him paralyze himself," Marlo mumbled to Gray.

"Is this real? It is?"

     He fell to the ground. Both Marlo and Gray watched while Zach steered.

"And for added protection, each vehicle is surrounded by aluminum oxynitride glass."

     It cut to Jimmy being clean again and holding a gun.

"So tough, it can stop a 50-caliber bullet."

     He 'shot' the gun and a fake shot is heard. Knocking more things down.

"The Gyroscopic technology will keep you upright at all times..."

     Gray looked around. "Where are they?"

"...So you've got nothing to worry about,"

     Jimmy continued.

     "Man," Zach mumbled. The boys looked at each other and laughed quietly as they came up to a flock of dinosaurs. Different types walking around. Marlo smiles as she watched a Triceratops stand up from a nap.

     Zach steered them in and out of the dinosaurs. Both Marlo and Gray pointing out and naming the different types. Both the boys end up looking out in silence while a smaller Triceratops roared.

     The screen started to beep catching their attention.

"Due to technical difficulties all our exhibits are now closed. Please disembark all rides and return to the resort."

     Zach looked over to Gray who sighed. Marlo looked around with furrowed eyebrows not seeing any problems near them.

     "Come on, we can stay out a couple more minutes," Zach told them.

     "But they said it was closed," Gray mumbled, a bit confused.

     "Aunt Claire gave us special wristbands, right? VIP, dude. Besides, we have Marlo. She's 'showing us around'. Special VIP tour." He punched Marlo's arm lightly. Trying to get her to play along.

     "Zach, don't," Marlo warned.

     "We're VIP, dude. Come on. It'll be fun." Zach moved the steer shift forwards.

     "Don't ignore me, Zach." Marlo groaned as they are forced back slightly by the force. The other dinosaurs running along with them.

-

     Claire watched the screens, watching people clumped together, looking around. She watched closely, seeing a mother and daughter reunited. She looked down and remembers she left the boys with Zara and Marlo. She took her phone and called Zara, knowing she would be the only one to actually answer.

     "Hello?" Zara answered, out of breath.

     "Zara. I need you to bring the boys and Marlo back to the hotel right away."

     "I don't know...I've been looking everywhere for them. It's just been quite a while."

     "Slow down. I can't hear you," Claire spoke softly while Zara panics.

     "Zach and Gray, they've run off."

     "They what? I thought you were with the boys and Marlo?"

-

     In the gyrosphere Zach's phone started to ring. He took it out of his pocket and answered it.

     "Hey, Claire."

     "Zach, thank God. Are Gray and Marlo with you?"

     "I can't really hear you. We're in the hamster ball."

     "Is that boss man? Tell her I say hi."

     "Okay. Zach, listen to me. I need you to..." Claire's voice started to go static. Marlo looked over to Zach worried as he looked around.

     "Hello?" Zach asked trying to get ahold of Claire once more.

     "Zach?" Claire spoke up.

     Zach pulled his phone away, hanging up after the bad signal. Gray looked out to the side then back to Zach. Marlo watched as he stared at his phone and grunted in response to the bad signal. Something wasn't right. She knew they should have turned around.
