Y/n POV

We entered the tunnel and I heard the door close behind us. "Guys come one," said Kenji quietly as we followed Brooklyn to whatever she found. It was another door and a small blue screen with a locked symbol. Brooklyn slid her finger on it and it turned green with an unlocked symbol and the door slid open. We gasped at the sight, it was a whole new environment. Far too different from the desert, it was vast greenery of a forest or woods. We walked into the forest and the door closed behind us. "Guys, do you remember how, like five seconds ago, we were in a desert?" asked Brooklyn. Sammy responded with, "What the heck is this place?"

Suddenly the ground started to shake and there was a rumbling. Yasmina whispers, "No, it can't be." Well judging from the fact we saw a saber-toothed tiger in the desert, I wouldn't be surprised if our luck was so bad we never managed to escape those dangerous marvels of the resurrected world. Sammy says, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that feels like a...", she stops speaking as a snort-like sound is heard. Finally the creature entered the scene and Sammy finished, "T-rex." It sees us, roars at us and begins to run towards us. We all scream and start to run away "You gotta to be kidding me!" yelled Kenji as he ran. We hid behind a tree and saw another T-rex appear.

They start to roar at each other and seem to want to fight. "Does every island have dinosaurs now?" asked Brooklyn as she covered her ears. Ben responds with, "Let's ask her," as he points somewhere. I turn my head and see a woman behind a log with a tablet watching the T-rexes. She types on her tablet while holding her sandwich in her mouth. "Who's that?" asked Kenji then the woman finally saw us, and her sandwich fell out of her mouth. She jogs to us and says with an authoritative voice, "You're trespassing. What are you up to?" Then she gasps and pulls her table closer to her, "Are you here to spy?" Kenji responds sarcastically, "Yeah, we're an elite band of teenage secret agents."

Brooklyn gets closer to her and whispers, "Are you crazy? You're eating a sandwich in the middle of a T-rex fight?" The woman responds, "First of all, they're not fighting. They're pla--", she gets interrupted by Darius, "Playing!" I peek over the tree and what I see surprises me. I smile and say, "That's Cranio-facial biting! I can't believe I'm seeing this." "Uh, yes. Don't change the subject!" says the woman. Yasmina responds to her, "Lady, we don't wanna be here, either. We just wanna go home." The woman responds to her, "Oh, yeah, we'll see about that. Follow me." She starts to walk off somewhere.

"You really expect me to believe that children survived alone on Isla Nublar for six whole months?" She questioned our validity. Brooklyn adds, "Trust me. It's hard for us to believe, too." The woman thinks a little then says, "I suppose you must be telling the truth, because who would make up such a crazy story if they didn't have to... Not saying that you don't have to, or that you're crazy, but who knows? I don't know you, you don't know me for that matter... Am I yammering on? I've been out here for the better part of a month with no one to talk to, and I guess I had more to say than I realized." Darius kept on looking at her and finally said, "You look so familiar."

There's a roar in the distance which worries us but the woman reassures us, "Don't worry. They're almost tuckered out. They won't bother us." Ben asks, "How could you know that?" She responds excitedly, "I study dinosaur brains. Behavioral paleoneurobiologist. I'm Mae Turner--" she's interrupted by Darius, "Turner! That's it! You're Dr. Mae Turner! It's an honor to meet you. I read your book. A Theoretical Emotional Journey with Theropods." Dr. Turner responds, "Ah, you were the one!" Kenji butts into their conversation, "If you could just point us to a phone, we'll be on our way." Dr. Turner responds, "Yeah.. slight problem with that. This island is completely shut off the grid. No communications in or out."

We are all surprised by the revelation but Brooklyn tries to ask, "Wait, you can't use the tablet to call out?" She apologizes, "Sorry. Closed circuit. Mainly I use this to connect to a doodad in their brains... Oh! Can't tell you, actually. Proprietary research." Yasmina sighed, "So, there's no way home." "Don't lose faith. You can all rest up with me until we figure out how to get you out of here", Dr. Turner tries to reassure us as she turns and continues walking. Kenji whispers, "Do we trust her?" Brooklyn makes a face and Kenji laughs, "I'll take that as a no." As we walked she stopped us, "Hold up. Important announcement time. Whatever you do, do not go down there. Super dangerous." She gestures to a dark part of the forest. Her tone was so dark and then suddenly lightened up immediately, "All right, off we pop."
