Meet the Scientists.. They're good at what they do...

Tim led the visitors off the ship. To their right was a building with a banner that said "When Marine Reptiles Ruled The Sea" in all blue letters. The building was made out of stone until it got to its roof, where it sloped upwards and inwards in a pattern of wood then glass, and ended in glass. To their left, a tall lighthouse stood on a large hill. Directly in front of them was the first paddock. It was full of four creatures with heavy, boney armor and large tail clubs. Ankylosaurus, she thought. Jurassic World used to have Ankylosaurs, but they escaped the Gyroshere Valley. That made a small hole in the wall which they had to cover up with yellow tape until repair men could work on it. Already they had seen something that her former job hadn't had. They were off to a good start. "Our tour guide here, James Beavers will be the main tour guide. I will just introduce you to the staff. They went down a few pathways until they finally came across a large volcano-like building made out of stone. A large pillar at the top held up a version of the globe in the Triassic Period, which circled a full 360 and then repeated. They went inside to see the walls were lined with green cultivators about the size of a full grown human. Two men at the back- both in lab coats- were arguing over by some embryo storage compartments. "How many times do I have to tell you, Mosasaur goes with the water dinosaurs! How do you always get it mixed up with the Ice Age ones?!" Said one of them, who was American. "And how many times do I have to tell you guys that nothing in the Ice Age was a dinosaur?" Tim began. "Neither was anything that was in the sea- especially not Mosasaurs!" Zara shivered at the mention of the beast. "Will that be on the tour?"

"Preparations for you have been made in the hotel. You may disembark the tour when you feel it necessary." Tim said.

"Right, thanks."

"These two are our scientists. They may not be bright on dinosaurs, but they get the job done. Meet Cody." He said, gesturing at the American. "And Joe." He said, turning his attention to the other one. He didn't have to speak- he was the typical Londoner, you could tell that just by looking at him. "Oh, sir, you remember the  Sarcosuchas (I see you guys going to the Google search bar) DNA the dig teams dug up last week? The one you wanted us to cultivate?" Joe said.

"Quite well, it was an extraordinary find." Tim replied. "Have you finished it?"

"Well, kind of. We got most DNA extracted, but there were gaps. We need to find out if Sarcosuchas was a crocodile or an alligator, to see what animal we can use to fill in the gaps."

"Ah." Tim said, amused. "One of the biggest debates in paleontology- almost as famous as the mystery known as Spinosaurus. We'll have to find some fossils, and compare them to skeletons of both the other two creatures. In the mean time, start making the Deinonychus I need. Those two function slowly without a larger pack."

"We'll get right on it."

"Then our small detour here has ended. Time to go behind the scenes, and meet the masterminds at work."
