Jurassic World: Reign

Chapter 5: Giant Southern Lizard

February 2016 (Biosyn Valley)

"Do you know truly understand the weight this job will put onto you?" Lewis asked.

"Yes. But I'm willing to put as much effort as I can, sir." Henry replied.

Lewis clapped his hands.

"That is nice to hear. Been looking for a good geneticist for a while now. InGen's gonna regret demoting you if they ever find out about this." Lewis added.

"Oh, believe me. They will." Henry proudly voiced.

After the failure that was the Indominus Rex, Henry Wu was upset but saw some potential to improve upon his previous concepts and further them and by extension, make them better.

But he wouldn't be granted the luxury to continue his work. When everything was settled, Henry was demoted by InGen because he was the one who designed the Indominus. He should've designed a failsafe in case she ever got out.

Henry however, didn't take it well. Because he wasn't able to further his work into something more grand, he felt as though he lacked a purpose. It's why he decided to secretly join another company while still being employed in InGen. Although, for them all they think is that he might be retired or is trying to find another job.

He'll make them see what they're missing. Now that he has joined Biosyn, he'll have fewer constraints when it comes to his research. No more men in suits telling him what to and what not to create. Unless Lewis says so, Henry can make almost anything he wanted.

"Are there any projects you want me to work on right now?" Henry queried.

"Slow down, Doctor. You just started. No need to rush." Lewis assured him.

"It's quite alright. I'm used to spending time doing nothing but making new assets. So if there are any you want me to make, then just tell me which and I'll start planning." Henry insisted.

Lewis was very impressed with Henry's eagerness. It shouldn't be a surprise after what InGen did to him. He'd want to get back to his work as soon as possible.

"Very well then. Here's what I need you to make. Firstly, I've reviewed your work on the Indominus. Very outstanding but in my opinion, a smaller predator would work better. It can fit into places the Indominus can't and can sneak around easier." Lewis answered.

Henry thought that was the only other logical step when it came to improving what was wrong with the Indominus. Sure, it was big, and strong. But it lacked speed and had trouble getting into smaller areas. But by condensing that into something like a Velociraptor, it could be used more efficiently.

"Interesting. Is there anything else you'd want me to work on, sir?" Henry continued.

Lewis pulled out a document. It was a green folder with text on the front that read "Specimen G-1".

The geneticist opened the documents to find pictures of multiple bones. The first ones were of ones that were stuck in the ground. The second picture showed what looked to be a ship transporting the bones. And the third showed the bones being secured to a location within the facility.

"I sent an excavation team to Nublar back in 1995. Some of them were killed. It can't be helped since the place was crawling with dinosaurs but they were able to retrieve this." Lewis explained.

"What is this?" Henry questioned.

"That will be your main project. You see, InGen has always had their own trademark dinosaur that they put on almost all their branding." Lewis responded.

"Tyrannosaurus." Henry said.

Lewis nodded.

"Correct. Wouldn't it be nice if we also had a flagship? But don't worry about parks. This thing isn't supposed to be a mascot." Lewis said.
