After Orville's plans got interrupted and his big announcement was cut short due to the immensely agile hybrid fleeing from its containment and going on a killing spree across the yacht. The remaining survivors are left stranded on the ship as most of the guests had already taken the emergency boats, with the other dinosaurs still under the captivity of the corporation. But as humans caused chaos by themselves, the hybrid itself managed to prey upon the containment team in the time span of minutes, taking them down one by one, having several victims on its very own hands, which was already predicted for this creature.

Katerina covered her eyes as she led the way past the havoc going on through the vessel. Many staff members dived into the ocean, attempting to swim their way back to safety while others weren't so lucky, and remained onboard. The superyacht was close to the Bari Ferris Wheel and the rock piers. Which gave them all hope, Katerina then lit up the way looking for any shuttles left, "They left."

Alice found this to be the perfect opportunity to show some sass, "What do you suggest we do then."

"We split into groups." Katerina indicated to the small group of survivors, seeking forgiveness from her former allies, "Everett, you lead a team to the cockpit and try to redirection the yacht to the land, meanwhile, Natalie will take the second team and head downstairs and search for any emergency escape routes that might be of use."

Slowly recovering her eyesight and catching small glimpses of the surroundings, Natalie assumed Katerina was the woman she was next to as she was tall blonde and her voice was coming from that direction, characteristics resembling the woman, she proceeded to ask while squinting her eyes,  "Alright, whos coming with us then."

"I am." Missy enlisted herself as she felt guilty for how she behaved toward Natalie these past few months, hoping she could make up for her demeanor by assisting her on this task. Yvelisse then walked up in their direction, standing next to Natalie, "I'll go with them."

"Great." Katerina counted the number of heads coming with her, giving out specific orders one last time,  "Everett just head to the highest level of the yacht, there shouldn't be anyone to bother you up there." Before the two groups went their separate ways Katerina pulled Everett and Natalie aside and whispered, "I hope you understand this is my way of making up to you."

"Don't even worry about it." Everett assured her. With his intonation, Katerina was under the impression there was no longer any conflict between them, as now the only thing that truly mattered was surviving.

Natalie and her group slowly descended the stairs as the two most capable members carried Missy down and Natalie simply held herself onto the handrail. When they reached the first lowest floor, there was nothing much other than the loud alarm that blinked in red. Presumably, every human left the area, searching for safety upstairs, away from the rampage. The girls had one more series of stairs to go down now, and then they were all ready to move on with their duties. This time, the alarm was becoming much louder and the blinking lights much stronger. Yvelisse and Katerine both kept their chins down and eyes on the steps, with Missy, figuring out the plan, but the lights were only damaging the woman's sight even more.

Once they reached the lowest deck in the superyacht, Melissa was able to move around by herself. The group stealthily made their way around the level keeping an eye out for goons or even worse, the creature. Yvelisse stretched her neck as she attempted to find the Utahraptor mother and daughter that were presumably kept under this department, she suddenly hears a chippering sound and goes after it, the group followed her with no idea of what her intentions were. Yve finally found the adult Utahraptor, standing in front of her glass cell and placing her hand on the barrier, "Hey girl."

Omega responded with a stressed growl, as her baby was noticeably absent. Missy approached the glass standing in front of the animal, "Omega."

Yvelisse was surprised to hear the animal had a name, even expressing it with a soft hum. She then stands up and looks around for Theta, "We have to find her baby."

"That is not the plan." Katerine soon brought her cold attitude on this situation, as being emotional wouldn't be that much helpful, "That animal is dangerous."

"She will be if we don't find her offspring." Yvelisse argued back, rushing to the other cells while looking for the baby. Katerina scoffed while simply ignoring the distraction and sticking to what they actually had in mind, Missy wheeled herself to Natalie and held her hand.

Missy opened her mouth and began to unburden some facts, "Listen, Natalie, I have some things to say."

"I'm listening." Natalie responded with the dullest voice ever,  there was not much she could do other than listen, "Go ahead."

"Look I haven't been the best person with you and I just wanted to let you know th-" Before Missy could even finish her sentence, Natalie bowed down to the sound of her voice and gave the girl the warmest and most supportive hug, which could only be reciprocated. When Yvelisse finally found what appeared to be the juvenile's cage. Yvelisse opened it, but unfortunately, it was empty.

When they least expected, Orville crawled out of the shadows with Katerina in his arms and a gun pointed to her head, "Nobody move." Shortly after he came into the scene, the juvenile creature crawled out of the shadows while being kept on a leash. Omega screeched at the scene and tried to break through the glass.

Everett, Alice, and Waden departed from the group and headed to the center of the yacht, there were still people camouflaging in the furniture, including Simon who simply observed the group rush to the staircase. The group runs to the control room, which mirrors a ship piloting functionality. After being forced to climb two series of stairs they had finally reached the last level of the 6-floor yacht, but something was troubling their minds while entering the cockpit, it felt like there was something in there.

Everett rushed to the monitors and he quickly settled his sniper on the board, he began to search for alternatives across the control keyboard. Waden jumped in beside him attempting to assist him as he was much keener on technology than Everett was. Meanwhile, Alice snooped around on the security controls, where she had the brilliant idea of looking through the camera footage. She begins to sort out the exact locations of the incident and such, increasing the size of the screen to make it easier. The girl rewinds the tape back to the exact moment the hybrid was released from its containment, she rolled the video back a few moments until she spotted a slim figure pulling a trigger on the maintenance room located backstage, the same individual escaped from the room, once again she returned back to that point of the footage and zoomed into the persons face.

Waden remained on the maneuver trying to figure out how to unravel the yacht and get it back to safety. Everett walked over to Alice as he began to ponder what the girl was doing, "Who's that?"

"I think I know him." Alice zoomed into the individual's face, it was quite indescribable due to a bandana covering his mouth, a cap, and a hoodie, but one single detail led Alice to figure it out, "That's Simon. He's the guy who saved us."

Everett asked while leaning over her shoulder, "How do you know it's him?"

"The run." Alice said as a matter of factly, "It's one of his very obvious features."

"So he was the one who released that beast." Waden complained, already pointing fingers at the man, "Also good news is, I got this covered." As soon as he spoke, the motor popped and the yacht was already on the move. Alice and Everett head to the control panel and observe the short path of water they've yet to face.

"YES." Waden cheered to himself high-fiving Alice repeatedly, "I knew this wouldn't be that complicated."

Both of the groups deal with their own situation. The consequences will lead to two separate risky situations, happening at the same consequential time, with no assuredness as to whether things will go smoothly or not.
