Jurassic World; Codename: Shadow Rex Part 1

The Idea

Isla Nublar, 2014

Business is booming at Jurassic World. People come from all over the world to see the one of a kind attractions; Dinosaurs. Business has been booming since the park opened in 2005. Nine years later, and people still come to see what the park has. There's a new attraction every two years. Not even the owners expected to have the funding to get a new dinosaur every two years, but people are willing to pay for anything on the island: hotel rooms for up to $600 a night, plane tickets for over $1000 for the fastest plane, a ferry ticket for $500 on top of the cost of a plane ticket to Costa Rica, and much more.

2013's new attraction was a beast known as the Indominus Rex, I-Rex for short. The I-Rex was a combination of Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, and Giganotosaurus. People had mixed feelings about the creature, but most people loved it. It was big and weird, but people, especially children, thought it was super cool to watch it change colours.

The I-Rex was popular among tourists. The employees were a different stories. The vendors didn't care, the scientists loved it, the boss loved it, Owen and Hamada were concerned about it, and the crews who clean it's paddock and clean it hate it with a passion. Owen and Hamada are the ones who want to do something about it the most.

Two men are looking at the I-Rex from the viewing platform. It's after park hours, so it's just them. The younger man looked at the older man and sighed.

"Hamada, what if this thing escapes?"

"I don't know Owen."

"We need something. We can tranq it, but that only lasts a few minutes."

"I know. At least the T-Rexs are down for a half hour with the same dose, and then they're more docile for a little bit."

"Yeah. This thing though, oh man. Tranq her, in and out as quick as possible, she's up, she's pissed right off, and you'd better have locked up properly."

"I don't like this thing. It's nothing but trouble and a pain in the ass. If it escapes, the park may be history. Why was thing created again?"

"Money. The scientists have an ego to maintain. Look how far science has come, look what we can do."

"Look what we can do alright. We can create a son of a bitch that's immune to almost any tranquilizer, that's capable of running over fifty km an hour, and is as big as a T-Rex. Why couldn't they use science to make a T-Rex that grows to the size of a house cat and is friendly? It would be adorable and child friendly."

"Make it the size of a Rottweiler and easy to train and I'd take two in a heartbeat."

"Haha, that's something I'd get alright."

"Where were we now? Before the midget T-Rex talk."

"What are we going to do about the I-Rex."

"Oh yeah. What will we do?"

"What if, instead of a highly trainable T-Rex the size of a large dog, we get a highly trainable T-Rex bigger than I-Rex?"

"Perfect, just perfect. They're planning their next attraction anyway. Aren't we having a meeting next week?"

"Yes. That's why I wanted to talk to you. To talk about what we need in case the I-Rex escapes."

Owen and Hamada decided they had discussed the issue enough, and they decided to call it a night. Over the next few days, they discussed what they wanted this Tyrannosaur to be like. It was going to unique.
