As the big blast doors leading to the cargo bay opened, General Drake motioned me to follow him.
"We were able to recover a 25 ft. by 30 ft. section of the freighter and put it in the cargo hold." Drake began to walk to a large tower of wooden crates.
"And you put it in one of the crates?" I asked. Drake shook his head.
"No, it's right here behind the boxes. Come look at it for youself." He said. I walked behind them to see a large grayish-section of a freighter. But what was on it made me go like this :eek:! There were huge slash marks streaming downwards almost as large as the hull section itself.
"Oh my " I trailed off. "What type of thing could ever do this!?" I said. Drake was unsurprised
"That's why I wanted to know everything about the InGen Incedent, Ian. When we took samples of the metal to our labs and tested them, we found no traces of any physical weapon or laser of any kind. But what we did find was a very small reminiscence of organic DNA." I turned my head toward him, mouth wide open-in disbeleif.
"But that wasn't the half of it." Drake continued. "When we tested the DNA itself, we ran it through a system match of any known animal in the galaxy. The end results confirmed that one-third of the DNA was similar to that of a dinosaur."
I was stunned even further- and speachless
"Do you understand now? Ian? Why we needed to know about the InGen project?" Drake asked. "I mean look at this thing Ian!" He said, gesturing to the hull peice. "What in Zarquon could have done something like this?! We need your help, Ian Malcolm, before whatever this thing is strikes again."
I sighed.
"Well," I said, "I can't be much help in general- but I do suggest one thing." Drake didn't speak. "We need to go to Earth. Go to an Island called Isla Sorna. That is where InGen did all it's research. Maybe we can dig up something there."
"I'll make the order effective immediatly." With that, Drake left the cargo hold. I didn't follow him, though. I just stared at the claw slashes on the hull fragmant.
This was unbeleivable.
