I think I added to that confusion as well. It's more likely that the geneticists worked off-site on new dinosaurs and that's how Chicklet came to be.

New dinosaurs were bred at Site B on Isla Sorna before being shipped to Isla Nublar as eggs. In the Lost World book they stated that only about 20% of the eggs tended to be viable, and the idea of hatching a mutated, stillborn dinosaur in front of the visitors wasn't something Hammond approved of. Instead only the healthiest, prime specimens were given the opportunity to come to term, the others were 'disposed of' cleanly.

Chicklet would most likely have been one of the last batch of eggs produced for the park, but didn't make it to being shipped before the park was closed.

There had been a few soldiers and scientists on the island beforehand, meaning: Tanya [@Lmpkio], Raymond [@King Kindred], and another few NPCs. They were meant to secure the docks, so our team could arrive safely, and without being eaten by a T-Rex immediately after stepping off of the ferry.

I introduced the idea that at the moment there's a dozen or so ferry workers helping to unload the ship we arrived on, but they're not meant to be part of the expedition and will be away on the boat in the next few minutes. So as Kelly said, it's not worth bothering to learn their names.

The trimline is out of order. It would have to be repaired to travel faster into the inner island. The group having already been there did not do it. If we don't do it, we'll have to walk through the thick forest. Therefore, the main goal is right now to arrive at the original Jurassic World theme park buildings.

Just as a quick note, the canon size of the island would mean that walking along the roads to the main buildings would take about two hours without some means of transportation (which hasn't been mentioned yet so I'm assuming we don't have any) and without taking into account transporting any large equipment we may have brought with us.

The tramline would take ten-fifteen minutes and would be able to move the gear more easily, but as [@choraki] said we'd need to find some way to get it operational, if we even can. Most trams on the island were self-contained electric motor systems, but they drew power through the lines from a central generator. If the generator's offline the tram's not going anywhere.

Are there any service buildings nearby which may have vehicles in them? This was a functioning ferry port just before the park was closed and I doubt they took the time to salvage all the equipment.
