So I rewatched Jurassic Park 3 for the first time since I was a kid, and here's a bullet list of stuff I liked (because I love this movie):

divorced couple with divorced couple tropes yayyyy

Téa Leoni is so beautiful omg no wonder I ended up a bisexual

"How did you meet the Kirbys?" "...Through our church" says the mercenary who looks like a mercenary and absolutely nothing else

Alan Grant/Billy Brennan. Look, if you want to see a father-son dynamic there, have fun. I'm seeing that and a student-teacher mutual attraction that simultaneously has married couple vibes, with 2000s flavor to boot. Old bitter academic/cocky twink with a hero worship, what's not to love?

a clever, competent child in a movie. The JP trilogy has always had cool kids (the worse being Malcolm's daughter, but she was still good enough and whatever flaws she has, I attribute to having Ian Malcolm as a father), and Eric is my absolute favorite. That child is gonna need a lifetime of therapy but he rocks!

"I have never been on this island." "Sure you have, you wrote that book." "That was Isla Nublar. This is Isla Sorna." Alan Grant is in this mess because of a guy's poor reading comprehension and ignorance of geography, that's so funny

"You mean there's two islands with dinosaurs?" DO YOU NOT WATCH THE NEWS OR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GO DO A RESCUE SOMEWHERE

Spinosaurus, my favorite dino as a kid!

the phone ringtone is my ringtone, so I jumped every time

this movie is so funny guys

the freaky shit: corpse stripped of meat behind the paraglider, dino embryos in vats in the lab, misty aviary

the Ingen aesthetic. All the metal and rectangles, and flat stuff. The buildings, the doors, the locks.

Billy's sad face because senpai is mad at him :(

great french dub (but that was the standard at the time, quality took a nosedive approx. 15 years ago)

the way Eric looks at Alan lovingly cleaning the hat Billy rescued, after discovering that Billy lived. That kid knows what's up, his smile says "your boyfriend survived, good on you, you old gay"

Check Out A Brand New Look At Jurassic Park Survival

Courtesy of the folks at IGN, we have a brand-new look at what Saber Interactive have been cooking up in their creation lab with a closer look at some new screenshots and concept art from their upcoming game Jurassic Park Survival, alongside an internal Q&A where Universal Pictures and the Saber team discuss the upcoming title.

An interesting note in the Q&A is how focussed both the Universal team and developers at the game’s studio are on bringing to life locations which are both familiar and new on Isla Nublar. The interview references how we might see distant buildings and visitor accommodation, and the concept art gives us a flavour of this – showing that the decrepit and overgrown emergency bunker we see in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom may have actually been a functional and state-of-the-art piece of island infrastructure in the early 90s.

I really love how the focus here feels firmly on the experiences that visitors would have had when visiting Jurassic Park. In-universe this is, of course, meant to function as a luxury resort – with the novel even referencing swimming pools and tennis courts as mainstays of the luxury location. It is exciting to think about where the creative teams may choose to pull from this reference material. If we get to see a tunnel behind a waterfall created in the style of the Jurassic film universe, then I may explode with excitement. Needless to say, there is a lot of potential to craft a really compelling environment to explore on Nublar.

Whilst the team were still tight-lipped on whether we would see any dinosaurs in the game which do not appear in the 1993 film, they did share that consideration for the terrain on Isla Nublar is a critical part of gameplay. How this transitions into what Maya is doing within the game remains to be seen, but I imagine that a wet and slippery environment may make rock climbing or other accessories much more dangerous, therefore presenting interesting and challenging dynamic which players are likely to have to weigh up.

 There is also a reference here to the importance of patience – something which we have seen in other survival titles like Alien: Isolation, where the player sometimes needs to take shelter and wait for the Xenomorph to pass. The article does also hint that there may be more characters left on Nublar than just Maya – implying the InGen evacuation was not as thorough as we would like to believe, or that there may be other shady individuals attempting to take advantage of the ensuing chaos.

Addressing the elephant in the room, Saber Interactive did confirm that the game will not release in 2024 – meaning that recent rumours of a 2026 release date may be accurate when considering recent news about a third entry in the Evolution franchise. In my opinion – let them cook! This is shaping up to be an exciting adventure game which will allow us to truly immerse ourselves in Isla Nublar in a way which has never been realised before. I believe that taking the time to really develop this game and deliver an interesting and immersive story with compelling environments is critical, so I am VERY happy to wait for as long as this game needs.

It’s fair to say that Jurassic Park Survival is one of, if not the most, anticipated projects which is currently being developed for the Jurassic franchise. A survival-adventure game grounded in the nostalgia of the 90s era is something which many fans have been longing for, and I know that I personally cannot wait. I’m incredibly excited to see more from this game – with this initial update already having me VERY excited for what might be in store.

What do you think? Are you excited for Jurassic Park Survival? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to The Jurassic Park Podcast for all the latest news on the upcoming title.

timeline —

jw: “fallen kingdom” — it will be named something else cause nublar doesn’t fall but also it didn’t really matter that much in this movie anyways right,, anyways what if the main focus was of lockwood and his granddaughter, but scrapping the bad plotline of “oh she’s a cLoNe-“ cause it wasn’t good and it never went anywhere, but lockwood being hammond’s partner during the development of ingen and jp? that’s so interesting and needs more development. also masrani would be a bigger character in this series but he wouldn’t have an enormous role in this film. and, you guessed it, claire would be introduced in this film as a business mogul with an ulterior motive aka The Villain

jurassic world — yep the actual movie abt the new park is the second film, though there will probably be a “short” in between the two, just for some setup, cause in this we’re not gonna see the thriving park as much as the first one,, more of claire being a double agent and actually being the one who asked for the indominus to be constructed, with a few tweaks to enable claire to control indy. instead of the “unstoppable force” that the indominus is in the first film, she’s now just another weapon being controlled and used for a greater evil. see now claire obsessed with trying to get maisie with the indominus and owen coming to her aid. also a better control dynamic with the raptor squad so maybe they don’t just betray and die at the end

jw … Not Dominion: haven’t gotten this far yet, but dominion was such a shitshow to begin with that really having nothing is just as good in comparison

oh yeah also fun fact i’m gonna expand on this with my boy lyle cause he’s my world and i need more of him in everything. so !! maisie now has a brother >:))

That said, the politics of Jurassic Park are definitely a mixed bag, and it's a little worrying when people just nod along with it as a subversive anti-capitalism film, since on the one hand, it does have appropriate messages about capitalism, ecosystem equilibrium, and using science responsibly - but on the other hand, the idea of safety regulations are represented by the Obviously Evil Lawyer as a small-minded nuisance to genius, even though regulations are a good thing and someone like Hammond should be held accountable to them, and there's a Good Billionaire/Corporation (Hammond and InGen) versus Evil Billionaire/Corporation dynamic going on where at worst, Hammond has sone flaws and hubris, but we're meant to like and sympathize with him as an idealistic and kind grandfatherly figure, even though his hubris costs several people their lives; there's also a weird Luddite science and progress are inherently evil and we should revert to nature kind of sentiment which is also not great and lacks nuance, and it's timely how those kinds of attitudes are re-emerging right now, and honestly, it's not just the right being anti-science tbh

Unofficial WIP Intro

___RISK IT

So I have bad luck doing official-sorta WIP intros, but I want a little bit of accountability (and also to be a bit more active on here), so... here’s a brief dot-point overview of the one that’s currently consuming my brain:

inspired directly by spite (because of a book I read recently that annoyed the crap out of me)

bodyguard/protectee dynamic (ultimately friends-to-lovers, I think)

urban fantasy in a World Not Our Own But Close

magic system TBD, but the MC is Barren (aka, has no magic -- this is kinda a big deal)

incorporating bits and pieces from other WIPs I’ve played with, most significantly the arcane demon dog Shade (who is also a disobedient little shit)

seriously messed up characters who don’t want to process their trauma

murder mystery! Maybe! Sort of! Think urban fantasy fare with the characters investigating something. It kicks off the plot. It maybe is the plot. Who really knows?

magic havers vs have not (read: privileged vs others)

dual POV (in first person! Wish me luck separating their voices ahaha)

loyalty and codependency and love that leaves scars

...aaaand, cuz why the hell not, have a little snippet from the first scene under the cut:

Caden took half a step back. We got within arm’s reach of him just as the shadows solidified into a coherent form.

It looked like a dog, as much as a creature made out of shadows can look like anything. Tall, though, taller than any real example of its breed, which looked mostly like a dobermann. Its shoulders easily reached Caden’s waist. The tips of the pricked ears were level with his chin. The smouldering red eyes  bored into his neck. And the steely metallic fangs, revealed when it slowly opened its mouth, were just the right height to rip out his throat.

The shadow creature made a noise that sounded like a cross between metal in a garbage disposal and a chainsaw. Caden’s step backwards was quick enough that his ankle turned and Ilya had to catch his elbow to stop him sprawling on his ass.

“That’s…” Caden gave me a cursory glance before he fixed his horrified gaze on Ilya. “That’s a—”

“Shade,” Ilya said.

“Holy shit.” What little colour remained in Caden’s face drained. He slowly turned his face back towards the shadowy dog, adam’s apple bobbing in a deep swallow. “That’s a Shade.”

“No,” Ilya said. “Well, I mean, yes, it is, but I meant — Shade.”

The Shade — that Ilya ingenously named Shade — tilted its head. The wisps of shadow that made up its long and pain-in-the-ass tail began to swish back and forth.

Ilya cleared his throat and tried, with great and heavy gravity, “Shade.”

Shade bounced — all four feet off the ground, shoulders at the pinnacle, an expression of joy if I’ve ever seen one — and landed in a play bow. He made a sound similar to an unbalanced washing machine and then turned and bolted off down the alley.

Share a biography paragraph of an OC

Dr Elizabeth “Lizzy” Armstrong was born in Govan, Scotland in 1958, the oldest of 5 siblings. After a turbulent upbringing she left home at the age of 15.

Branded in high school as an ‘out-of-control delinquent who would never amount to anything’, Lizzy set out on her life’s journey to prove everyone wrong. Against the odds, she was offered a place studying Zoology at the University of Glasgow.

After graduating with 2nd Class Honours, Lizzy began a doctorate in partnership with New York University, relocating to Namibia where she began to study the herd dynamics of African elephants. Once awarded her PhD in Ethology, Lizzy continued to split her time between Africa and her long-term partner in Brooklyn.

Often co-authoring papers with her mentor, the esteemed yet unorthodox Dr Jeffrey Blacklaw, Lizzy regularly haunts the pages of Nature and Ethology Review, among others.

Lizzy’s first non-fiction novel Okaana: Making a Matriarch was released last spring to critical acclaim. The book follows a year in the life of a female elephant calf, interspersed with the author’s own anecdotes of life in the African bush.

As of 1992, Lizzy is employed by bioengineering firm InGen, founded by multibillionaire John Hammond. His new visitor attraction located on an island in Costa Rica is scheduled to open in Fall 1993.

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Season 2 Official Trailer Analysis and Thoughts

So, like many today and the next few days until January 22nd, I have been watching the new trailer for season 2, repeatedly. I got wind of it this afternoon even before it was officially released via Jurassic World and Netflix’s YouTube channels, and I’ve watched them along with the extended trailer on the Netflix site proper. A lot of things appear to be happening this new season, potentially more than I expected. 

If you watched the trailer on Netflix, not YouTube, there’s a bunch of extra clips that could help clue us in to what we could expect to see, and the possible order of events, at least based on the trailer. I start with stating some moments in that version of the trailer that stood out for me, then run through a predicted sequence of events for the new season. 

One moment that you see in this trailer that isn’t present in the YouTube versions are a small clip of Sammy and Darius running through a location with cages being chased by one of the three Baryonyx. Sammy appears to be clutching a bag with a circular blue and white logo on it. In the cages surrounding them, there are Stegosaurs, one on the right and one on the left. This scene appears to line up with Darius and Brooklynn climbing up a fence or cage onto a platform with a Baryonyx closing in, only for Brooklynn to whack it up side the head with a plank. I think this could be Mantah Corp. They could be already on the island, preparing to access the dinosaurs in the wake of the park’s failure. Or it could InGen mercenaries, or someone else. 

A moment that I find kind of funny is Darius reaction to seeing Rexy, and the other campers reaction to his. Its great, and reminds that at the end of the day, Darius is still a dino-nerd at heart. I also feel that we will be receiving plenty of Kenji and Darius bro time, and Yaz, Sammy, and Brooklynn girl time. I like the idea of the three girls forming this trio. That said, I’m looking forward seeing different group dynamics, such seeing the Yaz, Kenji, and Brooklynn motorbike trio (its hilarious that Brooklynn is the one riding the bike, while Kenji is holding on at the front). 

Now, for my timeline of events. Starting with the end of season 1, the group are searching through the jungle for a stopover when they hear dinosaur roars of the predatory kind, which leads to them running through the woods with Yaz being supported by Sammy and Brooklynn. Then, they come across Main Street, with Kenji appointing himself, or is appointed, to lead them around to a potential communication station, where Sammy finds that yellow book and Brooklynn gets her GoPro. Then they discover Rexy, too which they either try to get away from, or less likely, try to lure her away from Main Street, which fails. Either way, they retreat back into the jungle, where they come across their old campground. They decide to create a shelter (the Camp Kenji), which maybe where Darius comes across his raptor tooth necklace again. (One thing I’d like to add; the moment where Kenji looks into the GoPro and we hear the words Camp Kenji may not align with each other. I think the scene itself actually takes place in whatever building on Main Street the kids were in where Brooklynn acquired the GoPro and Sammy the book. You can see just before Kenji block out the camera that Sammy is reading something, likely the same book.) Either before or after that, Darius goes out to get water, with Kenji in tow, leading to the scene of the dinosaur water hole. But things go awry when theropods approach, either with Rexy coming in to hunt the Parasaurolophus, or the Ceratosaurus that the duo encounter in the trailer. They end up running for it, leading to Kenji’s encounter with Rexy in the trailer. Now after this point, it gets more tricky to try and piece together a workable timeline from the trailer, as there are things occurring in an order that I am uncertain of without actually watching the series. 

So, there you go, my initial analysis of the official trailer. Its exciting and I cannot wait to see the full season. January 22nd isn’t that long away, but it’ll seem like forever. Let me know what you guys thought of the trailer, if you have ideas about the timeline of the season based on what we’ve seen, and I hope y’all have a fantastic day!

Det brukes ikke tau i buldring, men tjukkasene på bakken minimerer risikoen for å skade seg ved et fall - there are no ropes in bouldering, but the crash pads on the ground ensure a minimal risk of injury if one should fall

Kalk (m), flytende kalk, kalkball (m), kalkpose (m) - Chalk, liquid chalk, chalk ball, chalk bag

Under korona-pandemien begynte mange klatresentre å anbefale å bruke flytende kalk, siden det er alkoholbasert og desinfiserende - during the Corona pandemic, many climbing gyms started recommending using liquid chalk as it is alcohol-based and disinfecting

Klatrere og buldrere knyter en kalkpose rundt livet når de klatrer slik at de har kalk tilgjengelig hvis fingrene deres blir svette og glatte - climbers and boulderers attach a chalk bag to a belt when climbing, so that they have chalk available if their fingers become sweaty and slippery

(Sports)teip (also -tape) (m) - finger tape, climbing tape

Mange klatrere bruker teip for å unngå skade eller beskytte huden på fingrene sine - many climbers use tape to avoid injury or to protect the skin on their fingers

Klatresko - climbing shoes

Det fins mange forskjellige typer klatresko: noen er veldig gode på pittesmå, smale fottak mens andre er spesialtilpasset slabs - there are many different types of climbing shoes; some are particularly good at tiny, narrow footholds, whereas others have been specially fitted for slabs

Pump (m), å være pumped - to be pumped; the tight, swollen, feeling that occurs in the forearm from lactic acid

Akkurat i det hun kom til det siste taket satte pumpen inn og hun klarte ikke å holde seg fast lenger - just as she reached the final hold, she could feel the pump in her forearm and she could not hold on any longer

Strake armer (m)- straight arms

Det er god teknikk å klatre med så strake armer som mulig, for da sparer man mye krefter - good climbing technique includes climbing with as straight arms as possible, because it saves energy 

Tyngdepunkt (n) - centre of gravity

Ved å bøye beina og huke seg ned, senker man tyngdepunktet sitt og oppnår bedre balanse - by bending your legs and crouching down, you lower your centre of gravity and gain better balance

Vannblemme (m) - blister

Jeg må gi meg, jeg fikk en stor vannblemme av det taket der - I have to call it quits, that hold just gave me a big blister

Hudflik - a ‘flapper’, a loose piece of skin, usually a result of a broken blister

Han teipet fast den løse hudfliken og gikk tilbake til veggen - he taped up the flapper and went back to the wall

Plaster (n) - a band-aid

Et plaster kommer ikke til å holde like godt som teip - band-aids will fall off more quickly than tape

Underarm - lower arm, forearm

Fingrene våre har bare sener og ingen muskler; alle musklene som styrere fingrene ligger i underarmen - our fingers have no muscles, only tendons; all the muscles that control the fingers are situated in the forearm

Finger (m, irregular plural: fingre) - finger

Klatrere og massører har sterke fingre - climbers and masseuses have strong fingers

Fingerstyrke (m) - finger strength

Man kan trene fingerstyrke ved å bruke et hangboard - one can train finger strength by using a hangboard

Skulder (m, irregular plural: skuldre) - shoulder

Klatrere har sterke muskler i ryggen og i skuldrene - climbers have strong muscles in their backs and their shoulders

Bar overkropp (m), baris (m) - shirtless, to walk around without wearing a shirt

Mange menn tror at det å klatre i baris gjør dem til en bedre klatrer - many men believe that climbing shirtless makes them a better climber

Dyno (m) - a dyno, short for ‘dynamic move’, typically a jump or other swift movement

Jeg syns dynos er vanskelige fordi man ofte må hoppe veldig langt - I think dynos are difficult because one often has to jump very far

Statisk - statically, the opposite of dynamic moves, usually involving more sustained strength and balance than a powerful dyno

Damer klatrer ofte med statisk stil fordi de er kortere, men mykere, enn de fleste menn - women often climb using a static style because they are shorter, but more flexible, than most men

Kom igjen, heia - come on, allez; general cry of encouragement. ‘Allez’ is French for ‘let’s go’ or ‘come on’, and is widely used for cheering someone on in the climbing community

Kom igjen, du klarer det! Ikke gi deg! Heia, heia! - Come on, you can do it! Don’t give up! Allez!

Kinktober Day 10 - Cybering - Tomura Shigaraki/Eijirou Kirishima

[Ao3 Mirror] Rating: Teen (series will be Explicit) Word Count: 2,732 Summary:  Running the League of Villains and being on the run without any resources is really stressful. Sometimes, Shigaraki just wants to relax, play a game, and virtually kill people.Kirishima feels the same way. Contains: Among Us shenanigans, future Kirishima/Shigaraki

I’ve been wanting to write this fic for a while and once again I can’t make it short enough to write in one day so here’s a like 2 or 3 part series.

=====

He's tired. Exhausted. More than anything in the world Tomura Shigaraki misses his bed- his room- his consoles and games from the time before. Before Kamino, before Sensei had gone and-

Tomura scowls, chases the thought from his mind. He's been over this a hundred times, been stewing in it even day for weeks, there's no point getting worked up again. So he does what little he can to relax, to lie back on the old, dingy mattress and the rotted, half-ripped sheets. His coat will act as a fine enough blanket tonight, but for now- now he's too tense, too angry to sleep. Normally, he'd invest some time in his latest game, a series he can drop an hour into until he's finally relaxed and ready to get the sleep that eludes him.

But then. He's lost that too, hasn't he? He's left with only his phone and a data plan on someone's bill somewhere that has yet to be traced to him. (At least he hopes; would be rather awkward if the heroes were aware of his late night search history).

There are few games he can play and enjoy, mindless things, but damn if there isn't one that keeps his attention. Tomura sets his name to Dust and loads into the first lobby he sees. As soon as he loads in he moves to the laptop to change his color to black. The chat explodes:

KingExplos (orange): you made it public dumbass KingExplos (orange): gtfo rando

Tomura sneers at the next one, considers finding another lobby.

AllMight (green): Welcome! Floaty (pink): hi!

The prospect of being imposter and killing him first makes Tomura stay.

RedRiot (red): Oops sparky (yellow): but we got 10 players now! RedRiot (red): Ignore orange, Dust Alienqueen (purple): He's cranky lol

They must all know each other, probably all in a Discord together. So long as they're not teaming, it doesn't matter, he can put up with their too-friendly chatter for now.

Dust (black): start RedRiot (red): Right!! Sorry!!

Tomura rolls his eyes, but settles back into his pillow as the timer counts down. The first round goes smoothly; he's a crewmate and works through his tasks with stunning precision, except for the damn card swipe that takes three attempts. He ends up doing the refueling task at the same time as red, the energetic little bean circling his own black avatar a few times in enthusiasm. Tomura scowls, considers the likelihood that red is an imposter all too happy to follow Tomura to the engines, but lets that worry fade- as halfway through the first refueling someone reports orange's body.

Alienqueen (purple): where Froppy (lime): where? Shouto (white): ?

Then, the location come in one by one, all except for the reporter:

AllMight (green): froppy and I were in admin! Froppy (lime): yep sparky (yellow): afk in caf lol Shouto (white): elec with alien

It takes a minute, and Tomura begins to suspect a self-report, until at last:

Ingen (blue): KingExplos's body was outside Navigation and I am sure I saw Floaty running away towards Oxygen! Therefore, pink is an imposter! Floaty (pink): what!! I was at up engine, blue's lying

Tomura grins, he does so love this part.

Dust (black): pink's lying. Dust (black): i was in up engine. RedRiot (red): Yeah!! RedRiot (red): Dust and I were doing refuel together! Floaty (pink): I was just outside, going to medbay Floaty (pink): Ingen don't lie to them!!

The banner pops up: Dust has voted. The rest of the group follows, ringing in one after another.

Froppy (lime): sorry floaty Floaty (pink): dang it Ingen!!

Sure enough, a little pink bean floats out into space followed by Floaty was an Imposter. Easy. Even if blue was slow on clarifying, it should be an easy game with only one dead and one imposter left.

The game resumes- and Red excitedly follows Tomura's avatar back to the upper engines to finish refueling. Tomura finishes first and- watching as Red's avatar remains stuck to the console- waits for Red to finish. It's logical, Tomura decides, to go in pairs and not get split up. Even if he wins, it still sucks to die. And when Red runs to him, circles him again, they pass by the reactor to go get more fuel to do lower engine.

There's no body interruption this time. Tomura only has one task left and it's trash. The bar's not far enough over yet for him to use his visual task- but Red circles him obnoxiously again and moves back and forth back towards storage. He has nothing better to do, Tomura decides, and follows him. Red leads him past storage, past comms, and up the corridor into weapons. He stops next to the console- and sure enough, the ship's lasers fire as Red does the asteroid game.

Well, at least Tomura knows he wasn't running around with the only other murderer on the ship. Red circles him again, excitedly following as Tomura wanders back into the cafeteria.

Just in time to watch green snap lime's neck.

Tomura blinks, then huffs a single amused half-laugh. But Red is the one to get there first, smashing the report button as green still just stands there over lime's bisected corpse.

RedRiot (red): DEKU!!!!!!!! RedRiot (red): WHY!!!!!! AllMight (green): I'm sorry! Alienqueen (purple): where RedRiot (red): YOU KILLED HER??? AllMight (green): I'm sorry, Froppy!!!! Shouto!! Chargebolt!!

Sure enough, the crewmate list shows not just lime dead, but white and yellow too. Impressive, actually. Tomura wonders where the bodies were, if only the one they witnessed is the one that got reported. Probably electrical. Red continues his caps ranting.

RedRiot (red): UNMANLY! Ingen (blue): Where was the body found, RedRiot? Dust (black): its green Alienqueen (purple): omg! all might's an imposter!

Tomura resists snorting. The votes come in fast- ending with green voting for himself. He spins off into space and Tomura is rewarded with the winner's screen. He's shocked to see everyone- everyone load back into the lobby. Not a single leaver? They're definitely in a group together.

KingExplos (orange): WHY THE FUCK DID YOU KILL ME FIRST?? Floaty (pink): gg lol sparky (yellow): killed by all might sparky (yellow): what a way to go AllMight (green): I said I'm sorry! Shouto (white): It's alright, that's how you win. Alienqueen (purple): no its alMIGHT KingExplos (orange): SHUT UP AND START

Tomura allows himself to laugh at that at least, orange's frustration more so than purple's joke. They're not terrible, no obvious cheaters thus far- and their ingroup dynamics keep the focus off him.

This time, the text pops up red. Imposter. Tomura grins- and notices the character off to the side of his avatar. Red. Well. So long as he isn't following him around like a lost dog, maybe Tomura can carry him to a win.

The game starts and Tomura immediately heads down to admin, stops in front of the wiring panel and waits, watches the other characters filter in and out- for a moment it is just him and green (an urge to kill All Might no matter who catches him is intense), but pink and purple both wander in and Tomura has to move on. He heads down to storage, finds nobody idling there (too close to admin anyway). Electrical is obvious, a great kill spot, but on a whim he heads right into communications- and finds orange by his lonesome.

He drops into the room, slits orange's throat, and is back out heading up past shields, nav, and weapons. On the way he passes Red, who stops to wiggle back and forth at him before continuing on down the way Tomura came from. Tomura makes it all the way into the cafeteria and presses up to the wiring panel next to blue. He waits for the kill cooldown to reset- is just about to tap the button when--

Body reported! Tomura scowls- and blinks at the megaphone under Red's name. Blinks at the second red X in the crew list, white also having been killed and not by Tomura.

RedRiot (red): Stop killing Explos first! I can hear him yelling up there!! Alienqueen (purple): where? RedRiot (red): Comms AllMight (green): oh no RedRiot (red): Came from nav and didn't see anybody

Tomura stares at the chat. He'd killed white and reported orange's body to look innocent, not a bad plan-

Ingen (blue): I was doing the trash removal in cafeteria with Dust who was doing wiring. Floaty (pink): was in the middle of reactor game :( Alienqueen (purple): f Alienqueen (purple): in medbay waiting on samples sparky (yellow): wait shoutos dead too Froppy (lime): deku is it you again? AllMight (green): what!! no!! RedRiot (red): You can't kill your way to being at the top of the class!!

Students. Ah. Makes sense how they all know each other now, the dynamics at play. Perfect.

sparky (yellow): all might sus lol AllMight (green): i'm not!! AllMight (green): i was in elec doing the spinny thing Dust (black): alone? AllMight (green): i think so sparky (yellow): sus lol Alienqueen (purple): yeahhh sparky (yellow): wait sparky (yellow): dust where were you???

Tomura rolls his eyes.

Froppy (lime): ingen said they were in cafe with him Dust (black): wires in cafe w blue sparky (yellow): oh Floaty (pink): read chat spark lmao sparky (yellow): sorry dust llo sparky (yellow): lol* Alienqueen (purple): youre so dumb omg Ingen (blue): Dust and I were in the cafeteria completing tasks. Froppy (lime): are we voting? sparky (yellow): green is sus for sure!! Floaty (pink): idk :( RedRiot (red): Elec is near comms and he was alone...

Tomura's finger hovers over the vote button. Too aggressive and he'll look suspicious... but voting someone off immediately would definitely help.

Alienqueen (purple): im skipping for now Alienqueen (purple): but ur on thin ice!!! AllMight (green): its not me!!!

The votes rolls in one by one. Red's appears in the list- and Tomura wishes he'd been more clear how he was voting. He plays it safe, skips. There's plenty of time to coax out that suspicion. The results tally up: pink, yellow, and sure enough Red had voted for green. If Tomura had voted the other way it would've been enough to eject him- damn. It's fine, he can work with it.

The game resumes and Tomura guides his avatar through rooms, pauses at task locations to seem genuine, to wait for a good opportunity. He finds the perfect one, at the bottom of storage blue leads him towards the trash chute. The grin that curls at his lips is cruel, but he can't help it. They're the perfect target, blue's precision could be a problem if Tomura needs to lie. Blue wiggles then stops to complete the task- trash explodes out from the side of the ship, proving blue's innocence. Tomura already knew that. Before blue can step away somewhere more visible, he taps the kill button and his black avatar skewers blue's.

He runs towards electrical, dips in and makes it all the way to the vent, stopping there- and waits for just a moment. It might be risky to leave electric so close to the body, so he jumps in the vent and slides his way over to security, popping out when he's sure no one is around. Easy. He stands by the cams but stares at the hallway, waiting for a potential victim as his timer ticks down. People probably aren't done, not concerned with using security yet- and just as Tomura is about to give up and seek out prey for himself, a little pink bean comes running by.

They turn into the reactor room and approach one of the tasks. Tomura sits at the other task, right next to each other- only seconds left, 5, 4, 3- he just needs them to be below average at the memory game- 2, 1-

He jams the button as they begin to run away and his avatar stabs theirs and- Body reported!

It's fine, it's fine. Nobody else was in reactor with him, he's sure.

Dust (black): where Alienqueen (purple): KIRI....... AllMight (green): where? sparky (yellow): ? RedRiot (red): uh Alienqueen (purple): KIRI KILLED TSU....

Shit.

sparky (yellow): riot!!! how is that manly!! Alienqueen (purple): RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME IN MEDBAY AllMight (green): omg Dust (black): lol

Tomura is definitely not laughing out loud, but if he doesn't respond he'll look suspicious.

RedRiot (red): Look!! RedRiot (red): You weren't supposed to come in!! sparky (yellow): hahaha ok vote kiri Alienqueen (purple): YOU KILLED TSU! RedRiot (red): You weren't supposed to see!!

That does make Tomura shake his head, perhaps a little amused at Red's explanation. No use trying to defend him. He taps the vote button and they come pouring in. Tomura can still win this, he's pulled it off with worse- so long as Red sticks around to pull out some sabotages for him, there's a good chance. The voting ends, green being the last hold out-- and Tomura's mouth drops open.

As one final parting gift, Red has voted for green.

Red's body goes spinning off into space, the confirmation RedRiot was an Imposter appearing after

It doesn't always mean something, but maybe, maybe, the rest of the crew will think it was Red implicating green as his co-conspirator. The game resumes and Tomura wanders over towards medbay. They'll probably be grouping up soon, he needs to work fast to separate them- and the alarm makes his screen flash. Red's already at work.

Tomura crosses cafe to go to oxygen, stands at the console there- and yes. yes. purple comes running in from nav. The cooldown from the round starting is rough, but it's enough, it has to be- the sabotage ends (damn, if he could've killed her before that, he could've won immediately) just as it comes off the timer. The black avatar rips open to reveal a mouth and takes a chomp out of purple.

Tomura runs to the cafeteria- and watches as yellow slams the emergency button. He'll notice purple is dead, they were together, shit-

sparky (yellow): deku!!!!!!!!

and yellow. Yellow votes. Tomura full-on fucking laughs.

AllMight (green): what!! sparky (yellow): you been sus all game its you isnt it!!! AllMight (green): no!! it's you! accusing me to get the rando to vote me out and win! sparky (yellow): omg no! Dust (black): actually Dust (black): it's neither of you

and Tomura votes for green.

sparky (yellow): OMG sparky (yellow): R U FR AllMight (green): i told you!!!! sparky (yellow): how do u change ur vote???? Dust (black): you cant AllMight (green): that was too sneaky dust

Green accepts his fate, votes for himself. Tomura wishes he was actually All Might- that'd certainly be a novel way to kill him, to eject him into space. The winner's screen appears: Black's avatar and the ghost of RedRiot standing as menacingly as little bean creatures can.

He taps through the ad, loads back into the lobby.

RedRiot (red): Haha! We got y'all! KingExplos (orange): you fucking dick Alienqueen (purple): denki ur a moron LMAO Floaty (pink): that was amazing dust KingExplos (orange): fucking killing me first again Floaty (pink): but omg :( AllMight (green): i told you!! Floaty (pink): I just needed to do reactor :( RedRiot (red): Dust you were beast!!

Tomura blinks, feels sweat gather on his palms. A few of the players from the previous game didn't return.

Dust (black): thanks RedRiot (red): Do you have discord?? RedRiot (red): I have go to sleep but we made a great team! RedRiot (red): Should play again some time!!

He shouldn't. It's not like his discord is private or obviously him or anything, Tomura only uses it for the gaming servers, a quicker way to look for group before loading in- but he hasn't needed to do that in some time. He'd been swiping away any notifications, set himself on do not disturb and didn't open it to not make himself miss his consoles.

But he liked this. Red was good, good instincts, wasn't overly annoying or stupid, and more than anything, they had good synchronization. What harm could it be? At worst Tomura just blocks him, at best they play Among Us some more. He waits for two more people to leave the group, probably also headed off to sleep if they're all students before typing out his username.

* INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL RAPTOR INTELLIGENCE STUDY (IBRIS).

On April 4th, 2012, Simon Masrani gives Doctor Henry Wu full authorization to create a new species after the board of his company requested a new Jurassic World attraction to satisfy investors, resulting in the creation of the Indominus Rex.  Earlier within that very same year, Dr. Wu recreated hybrid dromaeosauridae, specifically combining genes from birds, reptiles, the achillobator and its close relative the velociraptor, both of which share a place among the raptor family. The Integrated Behavioral Raptor Intelligence Study was created under the pretense that “velociraptors” would become a main attraction of Jurassic World. Owen Grady was hired as chief researcher and animal handler for the project. IBRIS was conducted by INGEN’s Security Division. The program was privately conducted by INGEN, and is a completely separate entity from Jurassic World.

The fact that the Indominus Rex and the IBRIS Project were founded within the same year is not a coincidence. Under the command of Vic Hoskins, INGEN’s Security Division had evolved from a small security detail into a powerful paramilitary organization in partnerships with Aerospace Dynamix, Mascom Network, and the United Nation’s Security Council; utilizing five satellites for a GPS navigation system known as ‘Centaurus’ developed and launched by Mascom, it is one of the most formidable security companies in the world.

A retired Recon Marine, Vic Hoskins saw an opportunity in weaponizing the predators of Jurassic World. Unknown to Simon Masrani, he cut a deal with Dr. Henry Wu to develop a deadly hybrid super-weapon under the pretense of creating a new attraction for Masrani’s theme park. Vic greenlighted the IBRIS Project in order to test the theory that raptors were able to be trained and controlled for military field operations. 

When Owen was hired, the circumstances were complicated, and he had not been informed of what his role in this new job even was until he was shipped off to Isla Nublar. While Owen had no idea of the Indominus Rex’s existence, he had developed an inseparable bond with the raptors and quickly discovered that Hoskins had ulterior motives for the IBRIS Project. Owen actively fought to delay and stop these plans. Because his expertise was invaluable, and he was already making considerable progress with his research, they could not replace him. He was the key to the project’s success.

The IBRIS Project had not started smoothly. Since its conception in 2012, there have been a number of raptor subjects created for IBRIS using DNA from raptors taken from Isla Sorna. An incident with Subject V2, a hyper-aggressive raptor, resulted in their termination via euthanasia (the autopsy revealed that the aggression was likely due to the raptor’s sex changing to male through their pogona DNA). The mortality rate of cloned raptors were high, as they were extremely fragile as newborns. In 2013, upon realizing that training the raptors would be incredibly complex, Owen had recruited a French zoologist and long-time friend, Barry Sembène. They began working together to develop strategies and techniques to care for the raptors. 

By 2015, there was a pack of raptors consisting of Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo, all trained to follow over 40 different commands. 

In a typical hierarchy among pack animals, the alpha is not designated as the "strongest, most violent aggressor commanding the pack". This is a gross misconception based on flawed, outdated research with random subjugated wolves in enclosed spaces (zoos). In free wolves, alphas (often coming in pairs) are parental figures with the necessary skill set to protect and sustain the group dynamic.  “Betas” are typically the alphas’ oldest children. An authentic wolf pack is a family. Evolution is about progeny, not power, or strength, or dominance.

When Owen confirms he is the raptor pack’s alpha to Zach Mitchell, he is literally admitting that he is their surrogate parent. In turn, the IBRIS raptors recognize Owen as their caregiver and “matriarch”. 

Owen was present at each one of their births, and had them imprint on him; this was essential to the process of training them. He cycled through several training methods, derived from his experience training Belgian Malinois, bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, and other marine animals. These training methods included Clicker training, Target & Transference training, and Hand-rearing. As an animal behaviorist, it was not difficult to learn from the raptors and accommodate their unique needs. Owen began hand-rearing them before they could even walk, rarely leaving their side. He fed them by hand. As the raptors began growing large enough to socialize, Owen would eat pieces of raw meat as he was feeding it to the raptors, in order to establish himself as the pack’s alpha. He was often required to exude dominant behavior, body language and posturing, which compelled the raptors to behave submissively and recognize his role as leader of the pack.

The raptors’ dynamics and hierarchy are not very different from typical pack-hunting predators, but they were born in captivity;  their behaviors adapted to their environment and training... and the fact that they had imprinted on a human.

Owen was the only handler allowed to work directly with the raptors. No other staff member was allowed to hand-feed them. Because he is essentially their surrogate parent, Owen spent twelve hours a day with the raptors in order to maintain this bond. For this reason, he has a mobile office-home in the facility where they built the spacious Raptor Research Arena. He had four alarm clocks, and slept five hours a day, every day, except on weekends where he was required days off.

The raptors are measured between 6 to 7 feet tall and twelve feet long; their average weight estimated between 150 and  200 pounds. Their intelligence was equivalent to lower primates and socially intelligent canines:   specifically, wolves. To create the unique raptors for IBRIS, Dr. Henry Wu created a custom hybrid genetic code for each clone. The four raptors were born separately. Blue was born in 2012, as the oldest member of the raptor pack, surviving the initial trials of the IBRIS project. Delta was the second eldest raptor, born in 2013. Later in that same year, Echo was born as the second youngest raptor in the pack. Charlie was the youngest, born on the first month of 2014. The average raptor was “lethal” at 3 months old due to their accelerated growth rate; it only takes them one year to grow into their fully adult bodies.  

[Owen Grady’s expertise as an animal handler is canonically inspired by Military Dolphin Handlers. I personally added that he was a Navy SEAL Military Working Dog Handler training Belgian Malinois before MK9, which are the primary canines used in military field operations and bomb detection for DEVGRU. Intelligent, protective, and with an excessive prey-drive, these dogs were known as the “Furry Raptors” of domesticated canines for their extremely high energy, almost to the point of neurotic. His ability to train raptors and become their proverbial alpha can be paralleling the famous ex-military animal behaviorist Werner Freund, a former paratrooper and career soldier whom dedicated his life to rearing and raising wolves in his own wolf sanctuary in Merzig, Germany. Freund would raise them from a very young age, and acted as their pack leader.]

Take me to church | Owen Grady/Male OC | Jurassic World Fanfiction

Because I want to share some of my old work I guess? I don’t think this is particularly good, but it’s a way to see how I progressed over the years and I think that’s pretty cool. Also, I’m in my Jurassic World/ Detroit Become Human phase right now. So, have some old Jurassic World fanfic.

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Mentions of mpreg, mating cycles/in heat, Alpha Beta Omega dynamics, canon typical violence, creepy old men.

“Attention all Masrani Corp. employees heading for San Jose, we are now boarding flight eighteen. Please check-in at Gate twelve.”

He stood up with a soft sigh and hoisted his backpack on his shoulders. This was it, the chance of a lifetime. His big shot in getting somewhere in life. For years he had studied and worked his ass off to get where he was now. A smile worked its way upon his features as he slowly sauntered his way to the gate.

Like always, people stared after him wherever he went. It was sort of a given thing if you were 6’8 tall with a muscular frame. People were scared of him and nobody was stupid enough to piss him off by coming closer. Even if he was as harmless as a puppy.

His golden blond hair and bright blue eyes stood out on his angled and well-defined face. Not to mention the faded scar that ran across his face. People were terrified of him, but none of that was going to matter anymore.

Jarek Pitka had done it, he’d finally achieved his dream. Not many vets could say that they worked with actual living dinosaurs, but in just a few hours' time, he’d be one of the first to call himself a Dino-vet.

Jarek chuckled and smiled softly as he thought on the start of his new life. This could be the break he so desperately needs. With the money he would be making he could- He collided with another solid object, so lost in his thoughts that he hadn’t seen what was right in front of him.

“What the-?”

It wasn’t an object, Jarek deduced, as he looked down and cringed at the sight of the man sprawled out onto the floor. “I am so, so sorry.” He quickly apologized as he helped the poor man back onto his feet. Why did these things always happen to him? Big clumsy log that he was.

The man was smaller than he was, like everybody else. Around 6’2 to his own 6’8, with dark sandy blond hair and green eyes. The man was wearing a leather vest with a clean blue shirt under it and a pair of simple jeans and combat boots. He was a pretty average, but yet a good looking man.

The man brushed himself off and looked up at him in annoyance. “Dude, you gotta watch where you’re going.”

“I know, I know. I’m so sorry, I-”

“Hey” The stranger reached for his jacket and tapped the Jurassic World Logo that was stitched onto it rather sloppily “What did they hire you for?”

“What? Oh, yeah. I’m the new lead veterinarian. I got a call yesterday.”

“Really, yesterday, huh?” The man seemed rather amused at his answer, the frown on his face slowly turning into a friendly smile. Maybe he hadn’t screwed this up completely. “So you just packed your bags and jumped on a plane, because you got a call?”

“Well… when you say it like that, it sounds kinda crazy.”

“No offense, man. But it kinda is.”

“Then why are you here?”

The other man laughed and grinned up at him “I like you, you’re funny when you’re not barging into me. I got a call a couple of weeks ago. They hired me outta the Navy, now I get to work with raptors.”

“That’s so cool..” It didn’t explain the ‘why’ though, Jarek had been hired because of his outstanding credentials. But this guy just came from the Navy? Sure that was impressive, but why this guy specifically? “But why were you hired? I mean, no offense, but what did you do in the Navy?”

“I trained the canine unit, and I studied animal behavioral patterns on the side. Got my master's degree six months ago.”

That explained it. Sort of.

“Flight eighteen is now boarding at Gate twelve. Attention all passengers, flight eighteen is now boarding at Gate twelve.” The female voice of the intercom sounded through the gate, urging the remaining passengers to stand up and get onto the plane.

“So what’s your seat number?” The raptor guy looked up at him as he picked up his bag.

“B two, it’s an aisle seat.” Jarek pulled the ticket out of his pocket and showed it to his newfound friend.

“No way.. I got B one. Guess you’re my flight buddy. I’m Owen, by the way, Owen Grady.”

Jarek chuckled and took the hand Owen offered him. “Jarek, Jarek Pitka. And it’s an absolute pleasure to meet you, flight buddy.” He liked Owen so far, the man was nice. Despite Jarek’s initial clumsiness, Owen had been friendly, and he seemed genuinely interested in what Jarek had to say. Owen seemed so different from those he’d met before.

Owen let out a soft laugh and patted him on the shoulder. “Come on, let’s board before they leave without us.”

Jarek shook his head but followed Owen to the boarding desk anyway. He couldn’t wait to see the island or the dinosaurs. His new life was starting right now, with a new friend to support him along the way, and with Owen as a friend he doubted his new life would be a boring one.

~*~ ~*~

Flying was a pretty boring way to travel, even with Owen at his side. Five hours into the flight and he was ready to jank the door open and jump out of the plane. Anything to counter the mind-numbing nothingness that he was experiencing right now. “What time is it?”

“About eight pm, we’ve been in the air for five hours,” Owen mumbled, barely lifting his head off Jarek’s shoulder. The behavioral expert had fallen asleep an hour ago and was now dozing, using the veterinarian as his personal pillow.

Jarek couldn’t stop the yawn that escaped him and groaned softly. “That means we got two and a half hours to kill.” There had to be something he could occupy himself with...

“I’m not gonna tell,” Owen smirked, looking up at Jarek.

“Tell what?” What was Owen talking about? He couldn’t possibly be talking about that one little thing. Jarek didn’t have much to hide, but what he did have to hide was kind of a big thing.

“About what you are, you hide it well, but I can smell it.”

He tensed up, slowly turning to look more closely at Owen. “What?” How did he figure it out? He usually wore scent blockers to prevent anyone from finding out. Would this change the budding friendship between them? Would Owen see him as the others saw him? He didn’t really want to find that out to be honest. He didn’t want anything to change.

“Hey, hey it’s okay. I’m not gonna tell, or try to get into your pants.” Owen gently pushed him back into his seat and squeezed his shoulder in an effort to comfort him.

Not that it was working… “How? I hide it, I block my scent, suppress my cycles…” Owen knew… Owen knew and this little friendship between them was probably shattered until eternity. The raptor trainer had to hate him for what he was, all the others of Owen’s kind did. Jarek knew what he was, he was weak, he was disgusting, an outcast, he should never have gotten this far...

“Hey, cut that out. I just have a freakishly good nose, alright?” Owen sighed and made himself comfortable against Jarek’s side once again. “Now stop squirming, and stop worrying. One, I’m trying to catch some sleep, and two,” Owen leaned a little closer, whispering as he spoke his next words “I don’t fucking care that you’re an Omega.”

Jarek blinked at the smaller Alpha and stared at him for a moment or two. He was studying Owen’s face for any sign of dishonesty, any sign that the Alpha was gonna turn on him. But he found none. Owen was telling the truth as far as he could tell. “Really?”

“Really. Now lean back, a little. I’m trying to sleep you big log.” Owen yawned and made himself comfortable again, curling up against the Omega once more. This was gonna be a long flight, but at least he had Owen at his side. Just as he should be.

~*~ ~*~

It had been nearly one month since their arrival at Isla Sorna and so far, things were running smoothly. InGen had secured an area near the Southern docks and isolated it from the rest of the island. The Lagoon was their safe haven, base camp, the place they returned to every night after a day in the forest.

Jarek looked up from his book as laughter echoed through the camp. Owen and Barry had returned from their observation of the raptors and were having a good time by the look of it. Currently, the vet was sitting on a log right by the campfire. A chirp next to him made Jarek look down with a slight smile. “Who’s that? Who’s coming, Mishu?”

The little Compsognathus next to him chirped again and jumped around in excitement. She had been somewhat of an accident because they usually didn’t try to domesticate the dinosaurs on this island. Their studies wouldn’t be reliable or scientific, otherwise. Mishu was the only exception. Jarek had found her egg, lying abandoned on a small path near the lagoon. Her egg was still warm when he picked it up and he decided to hatch her after recognizing it was a Compsognathus egg. Jarek had been the first creature she ever saw, causing her to imprint on him. And the rest was history.

Mishu rumbled softly and stared up at Jarek, almost as if she was pleading at him to let her go over.

“Okay, okay. Go say hi.” Jarek laughed, grinning as he watched her run across the campsite, dodging and zigzagging her way across. The little Compy jumped in front of Owen and Barry and chirped loudly to gain their attention, much to the amusement of the two humans.

“Hey girl!” Owen bend down on one knee and scooped up the little Compy. The tiny dinosaur made herself comfortable by perching on his shoulder.

“Hello, Mishu.” Barry gently stroked the top of the Compy’s head and chuckled. “N'êtes-vous pas une douce petite fille?” The dark-skinned Cajun petted the Compy one last time before making his way over to Jarek. “She’s getting cheekier every day.”

“Only when it comes to you, my friend,” Jarek answered, smiling at Owen as the Alpha sat down beside him, before turning his attention on Barry once more. “She respects Owen and I.”

The Beta simply rolled his eyes and shook his head in amusement. “Really? Maybe she doesn’t want to upset mama and papa?”

“Oh, haha. Funny. I know Owen’s not as tall as me, but that’s no reason to call him mama.”

“Hey!” Owen elbowed in the ribs and faked an insulted look on his face, but Jarek could see the corners of his mouth curl up, the Alpha was fighting back a smile. “Be nice, or this mamma’s gonna spank both your asses.”

“Yes, dear.” Jarek dodged Owen’s hand and laughed at the Alpha’s pout. That was Owen alright, always up for a good laugh or prank. Usually at Jarek’s expense.

“Well, if it isn’t the little trio..”

Vic Hoskins was a pretty rounded man, particularly around the stomach, and at first glance, he seemed like a normal guy. Mid-forties, grey hair, a little beard and a general air around him that screamed Alpha. One conversation with him though, and you knew just what to expect from the military man. Hoskins was obsessed with the dinosaurs. Jarek couldn’t tell for what reasons, but he knew it wasn’t gonna be a good thing.

“Hoskins, what’s the occasion?” Owen instinctively leaned into him and laid his hand on Jarek’s thigh. Jarek knew what Owen was doing and he didn’t like it one bit. Owen was always saying he wasn’t weak, and yet the Alpha still pushed him to the background and defended him. It was kind of a contradiction, an unintentional one, but a contradiction nonetheless.

“I’ve got a proposition for you boys, one that’ll benefit us all.”

“Not interested.” Jarek glared at the older Alpha, staring up at him in defiance. Oh no, he didn’t like Vic Hoskins at all, but working with him was one of the job requirements. He hated it, but he had to take the bullshit Hoskins was badgering him with.

“Now, hear me out-”

“Sorry man, but the big guy has spoken.” Owen was picking his side again, which wasn’t surprising, considering that Vic had ticked Owen off more times then he could count. And it had only been one month since their arrival at the camp. That had to be a new record.

“Don’t forget who brought you here, Grady. You still work for me.”

“That doesn’t mean I gotta take shit from you, Hoskins. You’re not getting into his pants.”

“He is sitting right here and he can speak for himself, thank you.” Jarek stood up and faced Hoskins right on, he wouldn’t show his discomfort around the man, wouldn’t become weak. “And the answer is still no. Not interested.” He started to walk away from the scene when a thought occurred to him, and he turned to Barry and Owen once again. “You know where to find me.”

And with that, the Omega stalked off. Disappearing into the campsite that housed the tents and bungalows.

The Crow’s Nest

@bastxrds​ & @mvltis​ are free to repost as needed for their muses. any others, please credit me :). sourced from s1e1 pilot.

Crows Security operation surveillance center, nicknamed the Crows Nest, is located within Crows HQ & functions as the nerve center for the security company. Whoever is in charge of manning the nest oversees visuals & auditory surveillance regarding events the Crows are currently contracted to oversea, as well as surrounding areas for paying clients.

The Nest’s structure is set up with main monitors positioned with four marginally smaller monitors across the top & three larger monitors centered immediately underneath. All seven are set in front of a large digital grid monitor to include what appears to be public transportation for the entirety of Gotham. 

From left two right, starting with top left, monitor 1 appears to be a cell tower grid, but could also be camera locations. given the level & calibre of Crows technology & Hamilton Dynamics’ funding, it’s possible that there’s some overlap & it contains data for both. monitors 2 & 3 are stationary camera feeds monitor, while 4 is audio surveillance monitoring. 

On the bottom row, monitors 5 - 7 are for larger static surveillance cameras similar to monitors 2 & 3 above them. Each static surveillance monitor displays 12 camera angles laid out so that there are four large images & eight smaller images ( three columns by two rows, but the middle image for each is four smaller images ).

There's an additional 8th monitor to the top left & slightly away from the others that provides real time monitoring of the vitals of agents in the field, similar to technology utilized by the InGen Security Divison at Jurassic World for their Asset Containment Unit. 

To the left of the monitor’s seating is a digital surface with outlines of Gotham’s expansive waterways. The rest of the desk is clear bar a phone & a keyboard. Behind the Nest & in the center of the room is a table with the same digital inlay technology that appears to be used as a situation briefing table. The table is flanked on either side by additional monitors & digital maps, as well as additional workstations & miscellaneous cubicles, presumably for Crows management.

The direct opposite wall of the Nest houses a meeting room that is set back into the wall & raised up a level, accessible by its own set of stairs. It can be secured & is fully soundproof so it can be utilized for the highest priority & most sensitive Crows clients. All Nest screens can be generally seen from here.
