《Written in Bones [ Jurassic World]》Scientific Concerns
Advertisement
A stegosaurus eyed Lily and Simon who were standing behind a field worker by a river.
"I can't believe it!" Lily squealed quietly to herself. "It's a stegosaurus. An actual stegosaurus."
"Is that your favourite?" the worker asked her.
"They're all my favourites." she told the man. "I haven't met a dinosaur I didn't like."
Simon followed the river down.
"Our visitors can rent kayak and canoes and travel down the river getting an up close view of our dinosaurs at the river. "
"Do you think that's safe?" Lily asked.
"Our stegosaurus's do not bother with the tourists." the worker told her.
"That's not the point, what if people get in the middle of a dinosaur dispute. Stegosaurus's have been known to fight over territory especially when it comes to nesting grounds."
"You will not find nesting grounds here Ms. Goodwin. We don't allow it."
"How can you manage to control something that even the first park was unable to do?" she questioned.
"No males are able to leave the hatchery-"
"Not to sound cliche' but do you not remember the famous words of Ian Malcolm, life finds a way."
"And we cover our grounds daily Ms. Goodwin, all eggs are removed."
Lily frowned. "You ...get rid of the nests?" she asked bewildered.
"Indeed we do. We control the population Ms. Goodwin, our dinosaurs our tagged and all accounted for."
"But you're messing with nature removing a mother's nest. "
"They seem to get over it pretty quickly." the worker said.
"Oh is that something you discuss with the dinosaurs in therapy?" Lily asked slightly annoyed.
Simon grimaced slightly.
"How about we move on, there is still a lot to see."
From the brief visit in the carnivore territory and the Gallimimus Valley, Lily found herself hungry. Simon either read her mind or heard her stomach as they made their way back into the main centre.

"So what do you think so far?" he asked her.
"The park is impressive Mr. Masrani. I never thought I would see a dinosaur standing before me unless they were made of clay."
"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. There's still the lab and hatchery that you need to see. I think that will complete your day."
Simon swiped his card entering the lab with Lily behind him. Lily examined all the equipment a few people in lab coats moving around, computer screens showing a whole bunch of DNA sequencing.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Masrani." a man walked towards them.
"Ah, Henry, how are you?"
"I'm fine. Yourself?"
"Pretty good. Who's this with you?"
"Henry, this is Dr. Lily Goodwin, Lily this is Dr. Henry Wu."
"Nice to meet you Dr. Wu. I've read some of your work from InGen." Lily said extending her hand.
"Likewise Dr. Goodwin, we've heard a lot about you from Masrani here."
"Don't worry, only good things." Masrani smiled.
"Oh yes, all good things. We used a lot of your work when it came to determining which dinosaurs we would select, especially for our carnivore territory. Like the Baryonyx." Dr. Wu told her.
"Really?"
"Yes, your research on their fishing habits definitely made us want a couple." Simon agreed.
"Goodness, I'm flattered." she said.
"Well, Masrani's been trying to get you here for awhile." Dr. Wu told her.
"Really?"
Simon nodded. "It was difficult to track you down for awhile, you kept switching dig sites."
"Not on purpose." she admitted. "The funding was cut for most of them."
"The important thing is, we got you here now." Simon said. "Do you want to show her around Dr. Wu?"

"I'd be delighted."
A man walked in and whispered to Masrani. "Right, I completely forgot about that. Lily, I must go attend some business matters. But rest assure you are in good hands. I will have Ms. Dearing show you to your new home after you finish the tour."
"Thank you." Lily told him.
"I've read some of your work," Lily said to Dr. Wu as he showed her around. "The way you fill in the DNA sequencing with other animals like the common reed frog."
He smiled. "And?"
"I'm just curious and don't take this the wrong way, but after the failure of the first park, why did you continue doing this work?"
"We learn from our mistakes don't we?" he said.
"Yes I suppose we do."
"Well, I learned from my mistakes but it wasn't a mistake it opened up a door for me. I was able to learn about how these dinosaurs could adpat and be so modable in our hands. They could change their sex, I had to think, what else could we change?"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"A female could develop the ability to have male organs to have the ability to breed due to it's DNA sequence. I imagined, we could do so much more here in the lab. Perhaps we could have a carnivore with a herbivore temperament."
Lily swallowed. "You mean like a hybrid?"
"Exactly."
"It seems rather far fetch though, a carnivore is meant to consume meat, with an herbivore temperament it would lack the necessary abilities to be a stealth hunter, unless you made them all scavengers."
"If you think about Ms. Goodwin, all these dinosaurs are in a sense a hybrid, we have included other animals in their genetic code. There's no harm in adjusting a characteristic."
Lily didn't agree but she didn't want to argue either.
"Would you like to see the hatchery?" he offered.
"Sure."
Lily was surrounded by nests and eggs. "Oh my goodness, look at all of these eggs!" she exclaimed.
"Impressive isn't it?" an older man said walking over to her with a slight limp.
"You must be Lily Goodwin." he said. "I'm Dr. Winston Falls."
"Nice to meet you Dr. Falls."
"Oh please, don't be so formal. Winston works just as well."
"Winston oversees all of our hatchings." Dr. Wu said. "I'll leave you here with him."
"You're just in time too." Winston said. "We got a hatching in the process."

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
