Claire's car parks at paddock 11, as Claire herself, Owen, and y/n get out. Owen stares up at the towering walls, looking unconvinced and more than a little uneasy.

claire: "We've been pre-booking tickets for months. The park needs a new attraction every few years in order to reinvigorate the public's interest. Kinda like the space program"

She walks over to the flight up steps leading up to the observation tower as  Owen and y/n follow.

CLAIRE: "Corporate felt genetic modification would up the "wow" factor"

owen: "They're dinosaurs. "Wow" enough"

claire: "Not according to our focus groups. The Indominus rex makes us relevant again"

Owen can't believe his ears. He grins.

owen: "The Indominus rex!"

claire: "We needed something scary and easy to pronounce. You should hear a four year old try to say ”Archaeornithomimus”"

owen: "You should hear you try to say it.."

Y/n: "arc... Archae... Uh... Something, something... Gallimimus?"

Y/n looks at Owen, who shrugs, before entering the observation room behind Claire. Y/n looks around, before following him inside.

Nick was sitting at his desk on his lunch break, munching a sandwich. Besides them he's the only one present. They walk over to one of the windows. As before, they don't see the I. rex immediately, just the dense jungle of the paddock interior beyond the glass.

owen: "What's this thing made of..?"

claire: "The base genome is a T. rex, the rest is... classified"

owen: "You made a new dinosaur but you don't even know what it is?"

Y/n: "well.. I don't even know-"

Y/n looks up, seeing Claire put a finger over her mouth. Y/n nods, and looks back down.

claire: "The lab delivers us new assets and we show them to the public. Can we drop a steer, please?"

An annoyed Nick presses a button.

owen: "How long has the animal been in here?"

claire: "All its life"

owen: "Never seen anything outside of these walls?"

claire: "We can't exactly walk it.."

There's a rumbling noise outside and a huge crane lowers a hunk of beef down from above.

owen: "And you feed it with that?"

Y/n: "I didn't see that before.."

claire: "is there a problem?"

owen: "Animals raised in isolation aren't always the most functional"

Y/n looked at Owen, the tilts his head towards Claire, who mentally groaned at the obvious hit towards himself.

claire: "Your raptors are born in captivity.."

owen: "With siblings. They learn social skills. And I imprint on them when they're born. There's trust. The only positive relationship this animal has is with that crane. At least she knows that means food"

He seems increasingly concerned, but Claire isn't sharing his opinion. She adopts a very patronizing, sarcastic tone.

claire: "So she needs a friend? We should schedule play dates? That sort of thing?"

Y/n: "play date?"

owen: "Probably not a good idea"

Y/n: "aw.."
