[IC] Jurassic World - A New Dawn

[Genni]

"Yeah. I'm the Dinosaur Health Technician. Thank You, but I'm good. What's the plan?"

@TheHunter

"A palaeo-veterinarian, huh?" Kelly asked, not really paying attention as she watched the security specialist and the monster trainer verbally sparring with each other across the dock. "I think the plan is for us all to stand around here shouting at each other until the T-Rex turns up and eats us all." She commented with a wry smile.

Glancing around the dock area Kelly spotted a couple of small sheds set back away from the main passenger reception area. Turning back towards Julia with a beaming smile she jerked her head towards the huts. "You wanna wait to be made into dinosaur poop, or should we check out what InGen left behind when they ran from this place?"

Raymond listened to Owen's advice about disciplining his Velociraptor whenever she did something wrong. Before now he had never thought about punishing her, but he understood what he meant. Spare the rod, spoil the child. If he let her get away with things like this now then when she got older she could very much be dangerous. Then Thomas came in with his two cents saying that because he has Chickie that they'd all be dying sooner than he thought they would and that she was vermin. She wasn't a killer, not yet at least. She was still just a baby not prone to the world that she lived in.

He was lucky that he left when he did or else Raymond would have argued him down talking about her like that. He really didn't like the guy at all. Fortunately Owen was able to defend her and even called the guy a dumbass. It didn't escalate and then Owen waved him goodbye. He did the same and looked down at Chickie and said, "You're not murderous vermin. Don't listen to guys like him."

@Genni@TheHunter

Raymond had realized that he had been ignored by the girls as they were too busy talking to each other. They didn't seem to need his help anyway. In fact the former intern told Kelly that she didn't need any help. "Well, girl. It looks like right now it's just you and me." He didn't know what to do at the moment. Everyone was off doing his own thing and he wasn't the type to be able to help where it was actually needed at the moment. He stared off at the ocean wondering just how this expedition would work out. He hoped that no one in this group would end up getting killed or eaten by one of the dinosaurs still running wild on the large island.

@Lmpkio

The former trainer all but huffed at the eventual response he received from the redhead. If the previous barking and yelling had been anything to go by, he should have probably expected such a harsh reaction, but he was a little surprised nonetheless. However, the blond tried his best at hiding said surprise, as he simply glared at the Chief of Security.
"If you know who I am, you're probably pretty sure, that I won't just shut my mouth! Especially not if you're being the one attracting all the pretty dinosaurs around here, like a goddamn living bait!" he finally retorted, and his previous anger and disgust regarding the whole expedition only increased. For god's sake, if this wasn't for his own Velociraptor family, he would have never joined this stupid bullshit. And this woman was only proving his previously aversions towards said mission.
"The only thing I am saying is, that if you keep yelling around the docks, we're gonna be eaten sooner rather than later. And I, personally, would rather not be torn apart by a goddamn T-Rex!" Well, perhaps he was shouting himself right now as well, but that didn't matter. "So if you'd be so kind to keep your voice down, that would be really much appreciated." He was going to hate this. To loathe this, even...

However, the whole conversation was now pretty much ended for him. And instead of listening to any further protests of the readhead -- unless she would significantly insult him now --, he finally turned his attention back to Kelly; but just to watch her already 'flirting' with Blondie. Well, if this was actually going to be a damn dating mission, he might as well 'date' some left-over Jeeps now, as he finally marched past the female Chief of Security.

@choraki

Tanya was already quite pissed at such disrespect. Sure she already knew that he was disobedient enough, but good lord this was worse then she had realized.

"And haven't you heard your own voice too?" she asks calmly but with a nasty after taste, "I hate people who have a bad case of hypocrisy you know!"

She gives a nasty glare at Owen as she turns back to Thomas. Boy isn't he quite rowdy for an individual, she would think to herself. Normally she would've slapped him silly, but thankfully her temper kept her in check. He is also useful for communicating with the dinosaurs, at least with raptors from what she heard. But if he continues to be such disrespectful to she and other people, she will have to give him a painful lesson...

@Genni

Julia stood watching the forest line. The breeze pushed and shove against it, making it appear like it was moving. That forest held thousands of monsters that could easily eat them. She gritted her teeth. The arguments that surrounded were beyond stupid. All because everyone's egos were so big that they couldn't set it aside. Their egos were bigger than the T-Rex. Her eyes narrowed at the people around her. if they continued on like this, they wouldn't make it through the first night. Julia finally jumped out of her thoughts, and turned to Kelly.

"We're all gonna get killed if we continue on like this," Julia said her blue eyes turning stormy. She manage to cool her small bit of temper. "Yeah. Let's go find some jeeps. " Julia took off toward the shed, not caring if Kelly was following. She walked along the small beach and finally reached the shed. The jeeps looked old and rusted down. Some pieces had rust so thick that it looked like a penny. Her eyes continued watching the forest. Something felt wrong.

David West

David woke up to the sound of the ship stopping and the comotion up on the deck as everybody was leaving and workers were beginning to unload the cargo. It looked like the journey that seemed endless was finally over and Isla Nublar was at their feet. He imidieatly put his boots on and took his belongings that were in a medium sized duffle bag and afterwards started looking rather dissapointed at his weapons that were lying on the nightstand in his quarters, a Barrett MRAD sniper rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, a .10mm Kimber 1911 and a Gerber Gator kukri. He remembered one of the other soldiers telling him that they would be using some kind of taser rifles with an output of 12 amps to pacify the dinosaurs if any of them would get crazy. A thought that wasn't making David feel very secure. Regardless of that however, if the situation gets crazy he won't be walking around with an electric gun in his hand as dinosaurs would try to chew him up like chewing gum. He would definetly go down fighting and throwing dangerous led at the bastards. If it would come to that though, David relied 100% on his skills as a sniper to survive the dangers. He definetly wasn't determined to let some T-Rex's stomach be his grave. As David cleared all those thoughts from his head he put the kukri and the 1911 inside the duffle bag, the Barrett MRAD on his back and the military cap on as he got out of his quarters, climbed up the main deck and started dodging people getting out of the ship and on the ground.

Once outside David noticed a scrawny looking worker trying to lift what seemed like a pretty heavy box, at least to him anyways. He rushed to the worker as he left his duffle bag on the ground and picked up the box for him. "Here let me help you out!" Said David with a smile on his face. "Thank you sir!" Responded the worker. As he was helping the workers unload the cargo David payed attention to everybody's discussions, trying to realise what kind of people they were. That soldier, Thomas, David didn't like him at all. He seemed very hateful and misterious. "I'm gonna have to keep an eye on that guy." Said David with a silent tone as he put a box inside a truck. He also noticed the black leather clad redhead with a very outdated hairstyle that went by the name of Tanya. She was Chief of Security. David was looking at her as she was screaming her lungs out and barking orders left and right as if she owned the island. David nodded his head in dissaproval as he grabbed his duffle bag and headed towards Tanya. Once reaching her he put the bag on the ground and gave her his papers. "Hello maam! These are my belongings, these are my papers." Said David with a serious and uninterested look on his face.

[Genni]

"We're all gonna get killed if we continue on like this, Yeah. Let's go find some jeeps."

@TheHunter

"Or as hot tub, a hot tub would be nice too." Kelly said with a chuckle as she followed Julia towards the storage shed. Inside the three Jeeps were parked up in an orderly fashion, but time and lack of maintenance had left them a lot worse for wear than the computer geek had been hoping for. The fact she'd been hoping to find a fleet of fully refurbished, refitted and charged vehicles with the keys in the ignition and a cute redhead chauffeur was completely beside the point.

Quickly moving between the small two-person vehicles Kelly tried their ignitions, just on the off-chance one of them was just a little rusty, but of the three two simply glowed a little with stored power while the third seemed completely dead. Moving around to the front she quickly popped the hood on the unresponsive one, peering down at the electric engine inside as she pulled out a voltage meter from her pack and took a couple of readings.

"The good news," She began turning back towards her veterinarian friend, "is that all three are still powered. Unfortunately, none of them seem to want to start for some reason." As she spoke Kelly moved to the second car and repeated her checks, with the same result. The batteries seemed to be holding a charge, but without some repairs, or some better equipment, Kelly had no idea just how much, or whether the vehicles would be salvageable.

Smiling over at Julia, Kelly nodded back towards the main group, "This is beyond me; do you know anything about the others in the party? Would they know anything about electric engines, do you think?" She asked hopefully, while at the same time trying not to stare down at Julia's loose-fitting top, which was beginning to stick to the attractive blonde with sweat from the hot, humid environment. Kelly was glad she'd chosen to wear the loose blue top and tight pants for the trip, functional and efficient, while at the same time allowing her best features to stand out.

[Jambo1117]

Thomas was about to reply to Tanya when he saw Owen join his side again, even after their little confrontation, Thomas was fine with the man, both have done actions they both deemed justifiable. Thomas had lost loved ones, Owen was the Dinosaur whisperer. "She called me a mercenary" Thomas said, looking towards Owen, some genuine hurt on his face and then looked back at Tanya. "I don't like the term mercenary, I will only fight for country. Let's just say.. I'm a man with a mission. A man not clever enough to enter the labs, wherever they should be.. Although, I bet he has access to the labs, hm?" Thomas pointed towards Owen. "..But still a mission. That is to make sure nobody else dies from these Dinosaurs." Thomas said, taking his papers back, putting them inside his tactical vest. He watched the following exchange between the Tanya & Owen. sighing as he shook his head. "Good job we've resorted to being 12 again. Using words, and retorts, 'Watch your big mouth' When we've got a T-Rex ready to eat us all not too far away. I'll be surprised if we survive past the first day here" Thomas said, then turned towards David, as he approached, and gave a polite nod. "Greetings" He smiled, picking up the bag he carried off the boat to help, handing them to a dock worker.

"I'm going to go, help make sure things a safe. Don't want a Dinosaur sneaking up on us, do we?" Thomas asked, gripping his non-lethal weapon, and started a patrol around the docks, yes, it was probably made 'safe' by Tanya and the ones who came here before there expedition, but Thomas wanted to double check. Heck, he wanted a to triple check. All things Jurassic related, never ended well. People with some money in their hands, do stupid things. Thomas wasn't here to die, he was here to stop this park from even opening again.

[Lmpkio]

Tanya Robertson

Tanya was about to go back to Thomas's deal when David came along with his belongings and papers. She quickly reads over the other soldier's papers and nods as she reads through them.

"Your good." she said while handing him his papers, "You may go."

She then turns back to Thomas, who says that he's not a mercenary, but rather 'a man on a mission'. He then mentions that he may not be 'clever enough' to get into the labs, but yet he thinks that Owen is allowed, before the two got into a fight. Thomas then remarked about the small fight Tanya and Owen had, which slightly peeved the Chief of Security off.

"Don't mind him..." she said to Thomas, "He can be a bit... rebellious, from what I heard."

He then mentions on going to help and make things safe, giving the OK sign with Tanya's nod. Even she herself didn't exactly want to be put on this island either, despite accepting InGen's offer. Yet at least it was a better experience then being back in the city... kinda. She continues to overlook the dock as several guards pasted by her.

John White

As the geneticst was walking towards the jeep into the mainland, he overheard the conversation via Tanya and Owen. He remembers Owen from the old park, the hot-headed, Velociraptor trainer. Despite his problems over authority, White respected Owen for who he is, especially when he trained a pack of raptors. However, he senses the man's 'hate' over the scientists, and for good reason too. If only Owen knew how he felt about the Indominus as well... if only. He shrugs as he begins to pack his bags into the jeep...

[choraki]

Owen Grady

@Lmpkio

Of course Owen heard that last snarky comment of Tanya, and of course he gracefully ignored it. If he got even more provoked and aggravated right now, they really wouldn't make it out of this bullshit alive. Because, sadly, he was probably the only one of this whole goddamn team, that was neither about to kill anything that moved and had scales, nor tried to hug it. He was the one understanding dinosaur behaviour -- or at least he liked to think that --, and that would ultimately come in handy, he supposed. Maybe not exactly against a T-Rex, but definitely against anything else, that they may came across.

@Genni @TheHunter

A sigh passed his throat, as he now finally arrived at the Jeeps, accompanying Kelly and Blondie. He stayed silent for a good few minutes, simply watching the female IT specialist checking the rather rusty looking cars for any electricity still left within them. Unfortunately, InGen had fuelled anything remotely technology-containing with electricity, basically supported by the huge main generator, that was also attached to the giant trimline they were probably unable to repair. And with those Jeeps not working with mere gas, there really was little chance they would be working at all. After all, none of the participants of the expedition had a giant car's battery with them, now did they...?
"Guess we're gonna have a long walk," he finally commented the women's doing, one hand being supported by his own hips, the other one still tightly clutching at the little sniper rifle. "'S gonna be about two hours, I guess. From what I remember about the island, anyways. Through that thick forest, since I'm not gonna be capable of repairing a Jeep, that's only working with electricity." For god's sake, this turned worse from second to second.

@Lmpkio

And just as he commented on Kelly's doing, he already saw one of the scientists loading his stuff into one of the Jeeps. Owen arched a brow at that, not quite sure if he had listened to them at all. Probably not. All hatred towards those idiots aside, who had created the infamous Indominus-Rex, this was just plainly stupid.
"Hey, man, the Jeeps're not gonna work. We gotta walk to the park," he eventually just announced, a little louder this time, so everyone on this goddamn dock would hear him; and not start to load their stuff into impractical, not working Jeeps. He sure as hell wouldn't wheel that car through the whole woods just because people didn't want to carry their bags.

A quick look towards the sky outside of the small storage room for the Jeeps, though, revealed that they would either need to be extremely quick with moving through the thick forest towards the park, or would spend the first night still at the docks. The weather was getting worse with every minute that passed by, and once again a small sigh left his lips.
Great. Just great...

@Genni

Julia let out a smile as Kelly wished for a hot tub. They had been on this Island, not even a day, and someone was wishing for the luxuries of another life. She hadn't thought it would be Kelly. Julia jumped in one of the jeeps and tried to turn it on. It sputtered, but didn't rev to life. She let out an exasperated sigh. This wasn't going to be easy. The sky was rapidly darkening over head. The group had arrived late on the Island, and it wasn't looking good. They had no jeeps, the park was a good while away by walking, and everyone was ready to kill each other.

Julia listened as Kelly diagnosed the jeeps. Julia popped the hood, a small thunk resounded. The blonde jumped out of the jeep and opened the hood all the way. The blonde had worked with some cars in her father's auto shop, but it never interested her. Now she just wished she had paid more attention. Julia knew the basics, but they would need more than basics to get these jeeps running. Julia let out a sigh, and closed the hoods.

"No," Julia said simply," I don't know if they are." The vet looked over at Kelly and once again noticed her checking her out. This was getting old. "Look. You seem nice, and I don't want to get off on the wrong foot, but you're looking at me like a velociraptor looks at its prey. You seem nice, but stop treating me like some blonde headed bimbo."

Owen Grady

"Guess we're gonna have a long walk," "'S gonna be about two hours, I guess. From what I remember about the island, anyways. Through that thick forest, since I'm not gonna be capable of repairing a Jeep, that's only working with electricity."

@choraki

Julia stopped her little speech as Owen came into view of the jeeps. He watched them for a little and then started to speak. A two hours walked to the hotel. Damn. Julia's mind went into over drive. They were going to go on a walk in a jungle with animals that went extinct 65 million years ago. Perfect She took a deep breathe and then prepped herself mentally. Docks or make a run for the park? Logic said they should stay at the docks until morning where they wouldn't be in the jungle. But if they went in the jungle tonight, they might have a better chance of sneaking through. Either way was dangerous. Either way was a bad idea, but everything on this Island was a bad idea.

[Genni]

@choraki@TheHunter

Holding up he4r hands Kelly smiled playfully, "No offense intended. I was just admiring the view." She said, waving her hand in Julia's rough direction to indicate exactly which view she'd been talking about.

Just then the guy who seemed as much in charge as any other came walking up, telling her he wouldn't be able to fix the electrically powered Jeeps. "I already checked, and there's nothing wrong with the power systems on these two. There's something up with the engine mechanics which is preventing the vehicles running." She tried to explain, hoping a clearer understanding would change the stranger's mind. While the idea of a woodland walk was appealing at first though, the idea of that woodland also being home to 'Raptors, a T-Rex and whatever else the crazy scientists on the island may have cooked up made the idea a little less appealing.

[King Kindred]

Raymond finally started to make his way over to the jeeps with the others. Chicklet was following closely behind him. She seemed to be taking note of the different people with weapons. She didn't know what they were, but she knew to be cautious around them. Ray happened across them as they started talking about how the jeeps wouldn't run and that they might have to trek through the forest of island for two hours. It was a dangerous idea, but it wasn't one as dangerous as staying out in the open for too long. He wasn't sure about what to say. Usually when he talked among them his words were ignored. Only a few had actually paid attention to anything that he said so far.

He of course didn't know how to get these things to work so he was pretty useless in that area, but he was one of the best people to lead the forest trek. He knew and understood how most of the animals thought while in a wild environment. They've been out of captivity for so long that they'd be even more dangerous now than they were when they initially broke out of their different containment areas. At that point they were just adjusting to freedom. By the time that now passed they would have been adjusted enough to be more wild than docile. He had a feeling that, that was one of the reasons why T-Rex didn't finish off Owen and the others after she finished her brawl with the Indominus.

He finally decided to speak up. "Owen's right. Despite the risks it'll be better to walk until we find out how we can fix the problem with the Jeeps. It's safer than just staying out in the open, especially with that storm coming." As he said that he pointed up at dark clouds nearing the island to remind the others of their current situation.

[choraki]

@Genni

At response of the computer girl, Owen cocked a brow. Only the engines were wrong, and the electrical system was still working fine? In this case he might be capable of doing something, but depending on what exactly was wrong, he could neither make promises that the Jeeps would work afterwards, nor how long he would need for checking them through, and possibly repairing them. And with that in mind, he figured spending the night at the docks would be somewhat... safer. Even more so if there was at least a little chance of driving with the Jeeps towards the closed park, instead of taking a two-hour walk through a forest. A sigh passed the blond's throat, finally, and he nodded his head.
"I'll have a look at the engines," he finally announced, then used his free hand to vaguely point around the storage room and the docks. "Guess you should get comfortable around here, then. Don't think we're gonna leave the docks before the storm catches us, we could very well just use the remaining time to create a somewhat dry and warm camp." He once more shrugged his shoulders, though being then interrupted by the young scientist, who happened to be against their plans. Understandably, really.

@King Kindred

"Look, I'm not really sure if we'd actually make it through the forest without being caught by the rain." Another look towards the sky was revealing the clouds taking on more speed, they would soon swamp the island with thick, tropical rain. And for his own liking, he would prefer to stay dry... Even though it would be definitely more dangerous out in the open, but perhaps all these stupid, narrow-minded soldiers were at least good for some protection...
"We could use some guards. I guess all these soldiers aren't here for some free holidays. Raptors usually don't hunt at the coast, especially not if there's so much light and noise around. And the T-Rex... if we're lucky, she's somewhere at the other side of the island, near the park. Or we just run if she finds us..." He swallowed a little, hand one now being placed onto one of the Jeeps. "Not that it would help."
