It took a while to find something to plug in the hole in the boat, but using the equipment from the penthouse, and a metal tray they found on board the boat, they managed to finally piece it together. Peter was going one round around the tray using the sealant while Brooklynn and Yaz held it over the entire hole.

"It ain't pretty, but it should be watertight," Brooklynn said.

"Yep," Peter confirmed as he finished using it, tossing it to Darius. "All finished."

"Dope. Let's leave already!" Kenji cheered.

"Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it's really happening!" Sammy cheered.

"Buh-bye, Isla Nublar!" Brooklynn cried out to the island.

"We are out of here!" Yaz cheered.

"Hey, hold up, guys," Darius said, reading the tube. "It says here we have to wait 48 hours for it to set.

Everyone moaned when they heard that.

"Really?" Sammy asks.

"They have to say that for insurance and junk," Kenji stated as he walked over to the boat. "As your captain, I pronounce this vessel seaworth..."

Kenji then knocked the tray, causing it to fall proving him wrong. Everyone gave him an angered or annoyed look, while Laura snarled and snikt her claws, preparing to use them on him.

"Um, I've got some captain-y stuff...to do over there." Kenji scurried as he handed the tray to Peter. "Carry on."

"A few more days," Peter whispered to himself. "And then we can throw him overboard."

"Yeah, I am still on board with the mutiny idea," Yaz promised.

Peter, Yaz, and Brooklynn were back to working on the sealment. Sammy seemed nervous about something as she approached Brooklynn.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Sammy asks.

"Kind of busy right now, but..."

I need your help with something... personal." Sammy said.

Brooklynn was quick to drop everything as she let go, spinning around, causing Darkus to jump in and catch it so Peter could finish the job.

"Spill everything!" Brooklyn said.

She then began pushing Sammy away to talk out of earshot of the others. With Peter's advanced hearing, they needed to take a small stroll over to the docks.

"So, I was thinking..."

"Let me guess! You have a secret crush." Brooklynn asks. "Is it Darius? Kenji? Yaz? Laura?! It better not be Peter, because me and Yaz-"

"What?" Sammy was a little confused about what was happening. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing, forget that last part," Brooklynn said as she blushed, trying to hide her face.

"Look, since we've got two more days on the island, I wanna try and figure out why Mantah Corp sent me here," Sammy explained. "Maybe If I can find out what they're really up to, I can use that against them and-"

"Protect your family?" Brooklynn was following.

"Uh-huh!" Sammy confirmed.

"Say no more! Of course, I'll help!" Brooklynn promised. "It's gotta be related to E750. Maybe even the Cross-Species creatures that are here."

"I've got some-"

"It was on Wu's computer, the key card, that door on the monitors!" Brooklynn started to get all the conspiracy again. "But never anything related to Richard's experiments. Did he know? Or was it something even about him? And who was he making the Cross-Species creatures for? Was it Mantah Corp? A third company? It can't be a coincidence they're all DNA-related, creating intelligent creatures."
