Chapter 1-Memories of a Beta

Owen was making his way directly West, as in the center of Sorna were two structures, the Operations Center/Worker Village & farther West the Embryonics Administration/Laboratories Compound. One was a more likely bet for housing Wu than the other. Then again, it was entirely possible that new, undocumented structures had been built. Hell, Wu could've had stuff built on Sorna while he was working at Jurassic World for 10 years. Once that park had opened, it had drawn considerable attention away from Sorna, which was good, as casualties from trespassers would've decreased enormously. But it was bad in that it could've also drawn attention away from any secret construction on the island. Owen had a hunch that both had been put into play. He stopped for a minute & took a look around, then took his walkie-talkie from his belt.

“Hey Barry, what's your 20? Over.” Owen would've been a fool to have gone on this mission alone, even if he might have preferred it that way. The way he saw it, if it was just him, the only person he would have to be concerned about would be moi. But his fellow raptor trainer, Barry, was as good a choice as any to accompany him.

“I'm in the Southeast, making my way up. Over,” he replied.

“Alright, let's say we meet at the inner tip of this lake that's coming up. Over,” Owen said as he studied his map.

“Copy that. Over,” was Barry's response.

Claire Dearing, Owen's newly rekindled flame & former Jurassic World operations manager, had insisted on coming with him, but despite her newfound vigor for life that didn't revolve around her job, as well as a keen sense of determination for doing things perhaps a little more recklessly than she had before, Owen felt she wasn't cut out for this type of adventure, not yet anyway. Perhaps it was the alpha male attitude & instinct in him, as well as having gotten used to Claire's former modus operandi, but still, he thought it was for the best, even if they had told each other after the fall of Jurassic World that they would “stick together, for survival”. But perhaps most of all, it was because Owen wanted to keep her safe. Was it sexist? Maybe, according to some people, mostly of the fairer persuasion. But he knew for sure it was better for her to stay safe in Costa Rica than to put her life on the line just to prove that she was as competent as Owen, & that she could make her own decisions. That wasn't worth her life he thought, & it wasn't a matter of him being better than her in any way. It was simple concern for her welfare. As he put his walkie-talkie back on his belt, & took another glance at the map for confirmation of his new direction, Owen's mind wandered to another significant female in his life. Though this one wasn't a fellow human being, but the sole survivor of his pack back on Nublar, the raptor Blue. It was unknown how raptors faired on their own, without a pack, but it was reasonable to assume, with them being pack animals, that it would be hard to adjust to the solitary life. Aside from Rexy, Nublar's veteran Tyrannosaur, there wasn't much for her to worry about, as Nublar's other resident carnivores, even if they were a bit larger than her, would know better than to mess with Blue. Still, her effectiveness at hunting would be severely impaired, & she'd be forced to hunt smaller prey, which would only sustain her for so long. Even though InGen, as well as the consulting Dr. Grant, had taken a shine to the name Velociraptor for the species that had been bred, their actual identity was that of Deinonychus, which was larger than the actual Veloci species. Blue, as well as the other three raptors in Owen's pack, Delta, Charlie, & Echo were actually a new species, the Novaraptor, a cross-breed of the two subspecies of Deinonychus bred by InGen. One of said subspecies was a more savage breed, which Charlie had resembled in behavior, & Echo in coloration, while the other was so intelligent that they seemingly had their own language. Delta & Blue had been like the latter. Once he was done with the task at hand, Owen intended to return to Nublar, & check on Blue's status. If he ever got the opportunity, was the question at hand.

so he has his own Raptor buddy like John Carter had his loyal beast
and David in hollo earth had his prehistoric wolf pack? nice
The dialogue for some reason made it refreshing to read. It broke nicely from the inner-logue
I like the comment explaining how his need is not to be sexist, how frustrating that everything
invokes a cry of disdain on natural behavior. you wanna protect someone cuz you love em, not because sexism. I hope no one gives u crap on that still. looks good so far,
