《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."
