Meeting a t-rex in the flesh was unexpected, but meeting a chaotician wasn't very uneventful either. Maya Hyde is the newest paleontologist on the market, her name being tied to finding a new dinosaur skeleton, but obviously not just any cluster of bones, as she managed to dig up an infamous tyrannosaurus-rex with her team. It made headlines the second she arranged the excavation. Although she caught the attention of people she didn't want any. For example, her uncle, John Hammond, invites her to this mysterious island to see some stuff she had never seen before. By nature, she rejects him, but upon hearing that he would be funding her t-rex project she quickly changes her mind. That's how she ends up getting too close to dinosaurs for her comfort. Not the dead ones... But that's also how she meets Ian Malcolm, who only manages to add to the chaos Maya experiences on that damn island.
