#park-operations

Spared no expense, huh? Interesting choice of words from the guy who hasn't approved my raise request in 18 months. I'm literally the only programmer running the entire park security system. By myself. For 50K a year.

Dennis, this is not the channel for compensation discussions. Please schedule a meeting with HR.

We don't have an HR department. I checked. There's no HR. There's no backup programmer. There's no redundancy. It's literally just me. One guy. Running everything.

System check: Main power grid operational. All 13 fence perimeters showing green. Feeding schedules automated. Tour vehicles charged. We are go for tomorrow.

Robert, the fences are electrified at 10,000 volts. They're dinosaurs, not engineers.

Good morning. Just want to say that bringing dinosaurs back from extinction using frog DNA, putting them on an island with minimal staff and a single IT guy, and then inviting children is, um, what we in the chaos theory community would call "a spectacularly bad idea."

Dr. Malcolm, you were invited here to endorse the park, not critique it.

I just examined a sick Triceratops in the south paddock. She's been eating West Indian lilac berries. Not fatal but needs monitoring. Also, the plants in the park are extremely aggressive. These aren't normal growth patterns.

Has anyone else noticed the dinosaur breeding? You said they were all female. I found eggs. In the wild. They're breeding.

That's impossible. We engineered them all female. Population control is built into the DNA.

Life, uh, finds a way.

WARNING: Sector 7 — Tyrannosaurus paddock fence: OFFLINE. Cause: Power grid interruption.

WARNING: Sector 4 — Dilophosaurus paddock fence: OFFLINE.

WARNING: Sector 9 — Velociraptor paddock fence: OFFLINE.

WARNING: Sectors 1-13 — ALL FENCES: OFFLINE. Full park power failure detected.

NEDRY. WHAT DID YOU DO.

Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word. Ah ah ah. Ah ah ah.

PLEASE. God damn it. I hate this hacker crap.

What's happening? Why are the fences down? Someone tell me what's happening.

The raptor fences are down. The raptors are out. I TOLD you about the raptors. I told EVERYONE about the raptors.

THE FENCES ARE DOWN. THE GUESTS ARE IN THE TOUR CARS. THE T-REX PADDOCK FENCE IS DOWN AND THE GUESTS ARE SITTING IN ELECTRIC CARS THAT NO LONGER HAVE ELECTRICITY.

I'm literally being chased right now. I would like everyone to know that I predicted this. Every part of this. Can someone note that in the meeting minutes?

Update: the T-Rex is very fast. Faster than I expected. This is very bad. Must go faster. MUST GO FASTER.

I'm going to try to reboot the system. I need to shut down the entire park grid and restart it. It's the only way to purge Nedry's code.

You turned off ALL the fences to reboot? Including the raptor fences? The raptors that were ALREADY testing the fences?

I'm heading to the maintenance shed to manually reset the breakers. Ray went 10 minutes ago and hasn't come back.

Found the breakers. Also found Ray's arm. Just the arm. The rest of Ray is not here. There are raptors in the building.

Clever girl.

FENCES ARE BACK ON. I got the breakers. We have power. Please tell me everyone is alive.

We're in the main building. There are two raptors inside. The kids are with me. We need extraction NOW.

Never mind. The T-Rex just showed up and killed both raptors. I think... I think the T-Rex just saved us?

I'm lying in the back of a jeep with a broken leg. But I want it noted: I was right about everything. Chaos theory. The frog DNA. All of it. Put it in the incident report.

Perhaps... the park was a mistake.

Perhaps?

Extraction helicopter inbound. ETA: 5 minutes. Destination: Mainland. Park status: CONDEMNED.

I really did spare no expense.

All fences: IRRELEVANT. There is no park anymore.
