#Mr Dr Ian Malcolm

[twelvebooksstuff]

LOL that is an understandable urge in light of some recent plot events. It would definitely force him to help humanity and probably give him an identity crisis at the same time, since he’s so attached to the idea of “not help[ing] humanity” (in his own words)

…yeah Ian’s leading the charge which is nice it’s own way

you can always give your blorbos mobility aids btw . you can always make them disabled its always morally correct

The package left on your doorstep was a large brown box unceremoniously taped closed. There was no return address, but you suspected you knew who it was from. See, your boyfriend Ian just got back from his book tour, and he loves to surprise you with a romantic night out. 

You opened the box, the true surprise inside. There were several beautifully wrapped boxes of different sizes, each completed with a neatly tied bow. Sitting on the very top of the pile was a note. 

Y/n,

Pamper yourself today. I’ll pick you up at 7:30 for dinner, and your outfit is included in the box. I can’t wait to see you, Beautiful. 

Ian

You did exactly that. You spent the morning in the shower exfoliating, shaving, and doing anything else that you could think of in preparation for your surprise date. Ian had bought you an entirely new outfit—new lingerie that contrasted your skin beautifully and gave you the perfect amount of cleavage. A small box contained a pair of thin, silvery dangling earrings that looked like stars falling from the sky when the light hit them just right, as well as a matching bracelet. A large champagne-colored box contained the dress that hugged your body like a second skin. But there was another box, baby pink, wrapped in a champagne bow. 

Your brows furrowed, and a complete outfit was sitting on your bed in front of you; you couldn’t imagine what was in this box. Gently, you untied the bow and opened the lid, a note falling from it as you did. Inside sat an oddly shaped hot pink silicone device. It was kind of egg-shaped, with a long, thin “tail” extending from one end to a small circle that had a button. 

You inspected the smooth surface of the device before picking up the note. Ian gave you directions to the app to download and instructions on how to share control of the device. Taking it to the bathroom, you gave the device a quick wash with mild soap before setting it on a clean towel to dry and setting an alarm for six-thirty. 

Your heart raced as you stood in front of the mirror, dressed in the gorgeous black body con dress that accentuated your features. The vibrator was surprisingly easy to insert with a little bit of lube, and the shape allowed it to sit inside your vaginal canal without slipping out; it was quite a snug, comfortable fit. The tail sat outside of your body, curling up toward your stomach, held against your skin by the crotchless panties Ian had bought you. 

You inspected your appearance. You looked hot. Ian really knew how to dress you, and telling you what to wear was one of his favorite things. He wasn’t the type of guy who told you what to wear because he didn’t want other men to think you looked sexy. In fact, his intentions were almost the exact opposite. Ian loved buying you clothes and dressing you because he wanted other men to be jealous. He wanted to show you off to the world and show them the gorgeous woman he bagged. 

Seven-thirty on the dot, there was a knock at your door. Ian stood on the other side, towering above your short stature, with a single rose, dethorned, and a mischievous grin on his lips. 

“Hi, Sweetheart,” He scanned your outfit and caressed your cheek, “Don’t you look beautiful.” 

You couldn’t fight the smile on your face as heat rushed to your cheeks. He’d just arrived, and he was already turning you into a melty puddle of girl goo. “Thank you.” 

“Spin so I can get the full view.” 

You obeyed his request, turning slowly as he inspected you. The second your back was fully turned, he landed a swift smack to your ass, making you yelp. 

“Just as I thought,” he mused, “You’re perfect.” 

His praise filled you with warmth and an inexplicable desire to please. You were frozen in place as he leaned in to whisper in your ear, “And after dinner, I’m ruining that beautiful makeup of yours.” 

And there it was. A rush of arousal shot through you, making you shiver in anticipation. 

“Are you ready to go?” You asked, swallowing down your nerves and taking his hand. 

“Just waiting on you, Beautiful,” He grinned, leading you downstairs to his car. 

The restaurant wasn’t the fanciest in town, not that that mattered to you. You didn’t care if you went to an Olive Garden as long as you were with Ian. It was a lovely white tablecloth restaurant located on the bay with outdoor seating that overlooked the sea. Once parked, Ian reached underneath your dress and turned on the vibrator, connecting his Bluetooth to it so he could control the vibration. 

The lowest setting was a soft steady rumble that pressed against your G-spot with every step as Ian led you to the host stand. 

“I have a reservation for Dr. Malcolm.” He said suavely. 

“Oh!” The host beamed, “Right this way, we have your private table ready.” 

She led you both outside to the patio seating, half of it blocked off with beautiful flowered hedges on rolling planter boxes. You passed through the deliberate gap in the hedges, your table sitting center in the decorated space. 

“Ian,” You squeezed his hand, nerves crawling up your spine, “This is so fancy.” 

Of course, by fancy, you meant expensive. Expensiveness made you nervous - guilty. You didn’t want to be a financial burden. 

“Hey,” He gave you a comforting smile, “Only the best for my gorgeous girl.” 

You let out a shallow breath, letting him guide you to your chair. He pulls it out for you like a gentleman before scooting you in. 

“Here are your menus,” the host said, placing the hard-covered menu books on the table. “Your server will be by shortly.” 

Every aspect of the dinner was lovely, only heightened by the vibrator buzzing inside you. Throughout dinner, Ian had adjusted the settings, making it difficult for you to sit still, but somehow, you managed. You were more worried about wether or not there would be a wet mark on the butt of your dress from how much you felt like you were soaking. 

The vibrator suddenly stopped, making your brows furrow in confusion. You honestly missed the sensation now.

“Y/n, I often used to make jokes about how I’m always looking for the next future ex-Mrs. Malcolm. But I’ve realized I don’t want another Ex-Mrs. Malcolm.” He paused, and your heart sank. Was he breaking up with you? 

“I just want the next Mrs. Malcolm.” Ian got down on his knee. Your breath caught in your chest. “I want you to be the next Mrs. Malcolm, and I am determined to make it last this time. Will you marry me?” 

Tears welled in your eyes as you nodded. You hopped out of your chair and pulled him into a hug. 

“Yes, I will.” You kissed him, refusing to let your tears spill over and ruin your makeup. Ian slipped the beautiful moss agate ring on your finger and kissed your hand. You chuckled, “For a second there, I thought you might be breaking up with me.” 

Ian laughed as he helped you back to your seat, “I don’t want to break up with you ever.” 

Finally, the bill was settled, and the server brought out dessert and two glasses of sparkling wine. 

“Congratulations, you both,” The server, Richard, bid his farewell as you enjoyed the final moments of your meal. 

You were completely filled with warmth as Ian drove you both back to your shared apartment. The second the door clicked shut behind you, Ian’s lips were on yours, and his arms wrapped around you. 

“Ian!” You protested with a giggle, “Can we at least make it to the bedroom first?” 

“I don’t know, Sweetheart,” He growled slightly, “You just look so damn good as my fianceé. I can’t wait to make that makeup run.” 

Arousal rushed through you again, practically making you salivate. You managed to separate yourself from him just long enough to get to your knees, hastily undoing the belt to his sleek dress pants, freeing his thick member. 

Ian let out a groan as you licked him root to tip before taking the head of his cock in your mouth, smudging your recently reapplied lipstick. 

“Fuck you’re good at that,” His hand fell to your hair, pulling the strands away from your face. “I remember we we first got together, you could barely get it in your mouth without gagging.” 

You relaxed your throat, inching your way down his cock until your nose pressed to his groin. 

“Look at you now.” He praised, “Deepthroating like a champ. I’m so fucking proud of you.” 

Ian slowly rocked his hips, gently fucking your mouth as you forced yourself to sit on your hands and relinquish control to him. You loved pleasing him, listening to the string of praise falling from his lips as he fucked your throat until tears spilled from your eyes, and arousal was practically pooling on the floor underneath you. 

“I need to feel you,” He pulled his cock out with a satisfying pop, helping you up from the floor. Ian stripped off his shoes and pants before ushering you to your bedroom, swiping the boxes off the bed. “Be a good girl, and let me strip you.” 

You gave him a grin, turning so he could unzip your dress, letting fall to the floor around your heels. 

“You’re so beautiful,” Ian praised, running his hands over the lacy lingerie that he’d picked out for you. Large, warm palms cupped your breast as he kissed your shoulder, taking his time with you. You let out a satisfied sigh at the feeling, relaxing into his touch. He undid the clasp to your bra, letting that, too, fall to the floor, leaving you in nothing but crotchless panties and heels. 

He laid you down on the bed, pulling out the vibrator with a wet pop and tossing it to the side. Your hands fumbled with his shirt buttons as he caressed your pussy. 

“So wet already, Sweetheart?” He teased, making you huff. 

“You’re the one who teased me the entire dinner,” You spat back, pushing his shirt off his shoulders, light glinting off your new ring. 

Ian stroked his cock twice before lining the head with your entrance; you let out a breathy sigh as he slid in with ease. As always, his cock filled you to the brim, making you feel pleasurably stretched out. He kissed down your neck to your shoulder as he slowly pumped in and out, taking his time, allowing the pleasure to build in you. 

“God, you feel so good.” He praised, reaching over to grab the Hitachi wand sitting on the bedside table, slotting it perfectly between the two of you. Even the lowest setting built a wave of pleasure in you, “I missed this pussy on my tour. Next time, I’m bringing you with me so I can have it every night.” 

You rolled your hips up into his, moaning softly. “I’d like that. I love pleasing you.” 

His lips met yours again, moving in unison as each thrust pressed the vibrator harder against your clit. 

“Ian -“ you whined slightly, wanting more from the vibrator between you. 

He turned it up to the next setting, stating his condition, “You’re not allowed to cum until I tell you to.” 

You nodded helplessly, grinding into the vibrator. Ian picked up his pace, clinging to you like you were the last life preserver on a rocky ocean. Each wave builds that pleasurable pressure within you. A hot coil of arousal burning in the pit of your stomach. 

“Ian -“ You moaned, this one like a warning. “Ian, please, I can’t last much longer.” 

He gripped your hips as he leaned up straighter, one hand holding the vibrator in place. “Come for me, Y/n, be a good girl and come for your Finacé.” 

It was like he pulled the ripcord as your building orgasm released and your entire body spasmed around his cock.

“Good girl.” Ian praised. His name fell from your lips, fragmented by moans as he turned up the vibrator again, fucking you stupid. “Good girls get rewarded.” 

It was like you were floating into space as he held the vibrator to your oversensitive clit. Every thought left your mind as you drooled into the pillow, riding out the aftershocks being sent through you. Another orgasm built in your core as he continued to rock into you, washing over you the second it hit its peak, no longer able to maintain control. It was wave after wave of orgasms rolling through your body.  It wasn’t until you hit your fourth that Ian’s hips finally stuttered as he spilled his seed deep in your cunt. 

He collapsed on the two of you, turning off the vibrator and removing it. His heart pounded in his chest against yours as you regained your breath and your soul returned to your body. 

Ian peppered kisses to your cheek as he held you close, both of you exhausted from your romp. 

“Good night, future Mrs. Malcolm.” He whispered in your ear as you both drifted off into a very restful night of sleep.

ok so here's my oc's lore

so pretty much she originally was stuck on the island with the other six but wasn't part of Camp Cretatous (knows Kenji's dad and decided to take a self-guided tour) and after the events of Camp Cretatous biosyn reached out to a couple of the campers they refused (manta Corp flashbacks from Sammy and Ben was too busy with bumpy and idk why Darius said no but imma figure it out) so pretty much biosyn wanted a perspective on how dinosaurs interact in untouched nature for their "conservation project" and she obliged.

Every week was something new and exciting from seeing the resurrection process to feeding the smaller dinosaurs, distracting her from the scheming in the background. Eventually when they no longer needed her help she asked for one thing as a parting gift, an unfertilized utahraptor egg for her to do her own little studying. They saw no harm and let her have the egg (wu was not informed because it seemed fine at the time) and ahe was sent off on her merry way.

As she's leaving the facility she bumps into a familiar face, Dr. Ian Malcolm who had just been hired as their in-house philosopher, she gets his autograph and a picture and leaves, but something itches at the back of her brain about this place and she can't put her finger on it, but for now, it doesn't matter.

So the MC is pretty smart and has read pretty much every one of Malcolm and Grant's books and knows that in the right conditions that egg could hatch. (I'm not sure how that works so we're just gonna roll with it till I find a paper on it)

She raises the raptor and nurtures friendly traits in it. Using Owen grady's tactic with the clicker to communicate with it.

She learns about Brooklyn's death and finds the circumstances suspicious looking a bit too much into it she ends up where Mr. Kon is serving time, and instead of intervening in their conversation, she lingers back, watching. After a while, she witnesses the dinosaur attack and comes to the conclusion the atrociraptors think of her as their alpha so they listen.

She decides to follow raptor lady around, trying to not be seen, but is eventually confronted and after that I genuinely don't know how the fuck she gets out of that with bother and her dino alive 👍🏼

(I also have plans for her to put together some stuff about biosyn and the dpw and practically be on the run from everyone)

Also yes she is being targeted as she was on the island like the rest of the kids but she wasn't home when they got there and wasn't answering her phone so they just worriedly hoped she was OK while they went to go get Kenji

Its a work in progress and I still need to wrote out some kinks

Ooooooh I like this I like this a lot. Eating it up om nom nom nom

Feeling compelled to make a Jurassic Park hot take this morning. Ian Malcolm is a fucking idiot and franchise treating him like a prophet entirely misses his character.

Ian Malcolm is a dumb asshole whose whole gig is making predictions with zero context that have a statistically likely chance of being correct even tho8gh he can't tell you how or why.

He's like the venture capitalist version of a fortune teller who can read just enough context clues to give you a reading that's just vague enough to *feel* specific while also being vague enough that you can't hold him accountable for it.

His whole "life finds a way" line is delivered with the narcissistic certainty of a false prophet. Does he know that the dinosaurs can reproduce at this point? No! Does he know about Nedry and the issues if the parks personnel? Again, no. But he delivers that line in that way, and if he's right he gets credibility and if he's wrong he can wave it off.

And both the book and the movie *show* that he's an egotistical ass. "I'm always looking for a future ex-Mrs. Malcolm" like you couldn't have predicted how the complex social interaction of a marriage was going to work out you stale end piece of white bread. I don't have the book in front of me, but I remember reading it for the first time after watching the movie and. Eing really surprised how much I disliked the character.

To even further pick apart his bullshit, chaos theory is about the inherent unpredictability of complex systems. He uses the water droplet thing on the back of Dr. Sattler's hand to demonstrate saying that minute differences impossible for the human eye to perciev3 change the outcome of where the droplet will roll to make it inherently unpredictable.

Except that's not how the scientific method works. The system isn't inherently unpredictable, you've just failed to account for the variables that would allow you to predict the outcome. If you photographed the back of Dr. Sattler's hand, denoted the direction and angle of all the hairs, made notes for s ar tissue and placed the drop at precisely the same spot e ery time, you could build a baseline from which you *would* be able to predict the direction a drop of water was going to roll.

It's not unpredictable, you just haven't done the work to be able to predict it. In sum, Ian Malcolm's "chaos theory" is fundamentally un-scientific horse shit, and thus I suggest we stop engaging with him as a mathematician and more like a palm reader or snake oil salesman. He's very charismatic and very fun to watch/read, but he's always been a con man.

- I have an extremely confidential issue I'd like to discuss.

[10:08] Ian Malcolm:

- We share so much in common, you and I, having both escaped the islands, and yet we're still somehow still involved with them.

- And besides, I'm intrigued to know the nature of this conversation.

- Discretion is a trait not often associated with me, but for you... I'll make an exception.

- Do go on.

[10:10] Claire Dearing:

- The Foundation just brought in someone new to oversee development of the islands.

[10:10] Ian Malcolm:

[15:22] Henry Wu:

- Is it true?

[15:24] Ian Malcolm:

- Given the right set of circumstances, anything can be true.

- Time and perspective are key variables.

[15:24] Henry Wu:

- That's not a denial.

[15:25] Ian Malcolm:

[18:44] Kajal Dua:

- And Claire told you this?

[22:05] Owen Grady:

- She suspects that Dr. Wu's team is trying to create some weaponized hybrid.

- A hyper-hybrid.

[22:06] Ian Malcolm:

- Why should this concern you, Owen?

- Did you not think that your domestication program was anything more than the first step toward something more... kinetic with the dinosaurs?

[22:07] Owen Grady:

- Look, I know that these animals can be trained. I understand them. You just have to know how to listen.

[22:07] Ian Malcolm:

- It took thirty thousand years of evolution to turn the wolf into the Labrador.

[22:08] Owen Grady:

- So you're saying you won't help?

[22:08] Ian Malcolm:

- I'm saying I'll keep an eye on Dr. Wu.

[22:08] Owen Grady:

- Really? Didn't sound like it.

[22:08] Ian Malcolm:

- Maybe you just have to know how to listen.

-------{{MULTIPLE INCIDENTS}}-------

Participants: George Lambert, Ian Malcolm;

[09:33] George Lambert:

- There have been incidents.

- Multiple incidents.

- And you can assure me that this new Director of Operations isn't involved?

[09:34] Ian Malcolm: 

- To the best of my knowledge.

[09:34] George Lambert:

- And how good is that?

[09:35] Ian Malcolm:

- Better than most.

- Much better actually.

- Isn't sabotage always an on-going concern on the islands?

[09:36] George Lambert:

- Outside threats I can deal with. It's the ones from the inside that worry me.

-------{{MISSING SCIENTISTS [1/2]}}-------

Participants: Kajal Dua, Ian Malcolm;

[14:22] Kajal Dua:

- Dr. Malcolm, we have another incident. I've had two scientists go missing. They've been gone two days now, I believe.

- Lambert went searching for them.

- They'll turn up, eventually.

- One way or the other.

[14:23] Ian Malcolm:

- Yes... the other. I can see how upset you are about this...

[14:24] Kajal Dua:

- Look, everyone here understands that there are certain dangers associated with our work.

[14:24] Ian Malcolm:

- But these scientists weren't working for you, were they?

[14:24] Kajal Dua:

- We are all part of a team...

-------{{THE WATCHER}}-------

Participants: Ian Malcolm, Cabot Finch;

[12:57] Ian Malcolm:

- I don't control them, Cabot. I only offer advice.

[13:01] Cabot Finch:

- So your new charge isn't spying on me, then?

[13:01] Ian Malcolm:

- Far as I can tell, you've been watching them.

[13:02] Cabot Finch:

- I watch everyone.

-------{{A BROKEN SEAL}}-------

Participants: George Lambert, Ian Malcolm;

[15:46] George Lambert:

- It was Dr. Wu. And as far as I can tell, Dr. Dua. They've been hatching this plan for a while.

[15:46] Ian Malcolm:

- Hatching... yes. The, uh, perfect way to describe it.

[15:47] George Lambert:

- That hybrid is too dangerous to be anywhere other than the islands.

[15:48] Ian Malcolm:

- And it's too dangerous for the islands as well.

[15:50] George Lambert:

- So what do we do?

[15:52] Ian Malcolm:

- We wait.

- It is only a matter of time until it bites the hand that feeds it.

- Then we will know where to look.

-------{{HYBRID RESURGENCE}}-------

Participants: Claire Dearing, Ian Malcolm;

[09:42] Claire Dearing:

- Are you seeing this?

- Did you know about this?

[09:42] Ian Malcolm:

- I'm going to, need a little help here...

[09:43] Claire Dearing:

- The research into hybrids. It's happening again.

[09:43] Ian Malcolm:

- Okay.

[09:43] Claire Dearing:

- Okay?

- It's not okay, Malcolm.

[09:44] Ian Malcolm:

- I was acknowledging that I'm aware of the program. Not that I approve.

- Which, I don't have the power to do anyway.

- Nor would I want it.

[09:44] Claire Dearing:

- But this new Director of Operations you've been counselling, they're part of this research.

[09:45] Ian Malcolm:

- The security Division has always been a bit of a misnomer, if you will. We all know what they're really interested in.

- Pretending to be naive isn't your strong suit, Claire.

[09:45] Claire Dearing:

- As always, it's the blind leading the blind.

[09:46] Ian Malcolm:

- Correction. It's the blinded by ambition leading the blinded by greed.

- Present company excluded, of course.

-------{{WHERE IT ALL BEGAN}}-------

Participants: Ian Malcolm, Isaac Clement;

[16:22] Ian Malcolm:

- You are really doing it, aren't you?

[16:23] Isaac Clement:

- People are hungry for nostalgia.

[16:23] Ian Malcolm:

- Hungry, yes.

- Interesting.

- Appropriate.

[16:24] Isaac Clement:

- Hey, maybe this could be part of our marketing campaign.

- "Are you hungry for the past?"

[16:24] Ian Malcolm:

- Oh, I wish you wouldn't.

[16:25] Isaac Clement:

- Too soon, huh?

[16:26] Ian Malcolm:

- No, it's just, well... on Isla Nublar, the past is hungry for you.

-------{{ON SCHEDULE}}-------

Participants: Kajal Dua, Henry Wu;

[11:25] Kajal Dua:

- Things are proceeding as scheduled. This new Director of Operations seems to be on task.

[11:28] Henry Wu:

- That's good to hear.

- I'd say we are less than ten years ahead of the competition, and we're losing that advantage faster than I'd like.

[11:29] Kajal Dua:

- Then stable hybrids are the best shot we have to remain on top.

[11:29] Henry Wu:

- Correct. I've heard rumours a revitalised Biosyn has some significant investors behind it.

[11:30] Kajal Dua:

- That's concerning.

[11:30] Henry Wu:

- Maybe. Or maybe we need to find out how much they'd be willing to pay to get back in the game.

-------{{A CLOSE BOND}}-------

Participants: Ian Malcolm, Owen Grady;

[21:33] Ian Malcolm:

- You know I don't get involved with corporate politics.

- It's too chaotic.

[21:33] Owen Grady:

- I'm not worried about me, Malcolm.

- I'm a survivor.

[21:35] Ian Malcolm:

- Something I allow myself to also take some pride in.

[21:36] Owen Grady:

- It's her.

[21:36] Ian Malcolm:

- Claire?

[21:36] Owen Grady:

- Blue.

[21:37] Ian Malcolm:

- Oh. Yes, of course.

[21:37] Owen Grady:

- Masrani Global had a plan.

- And it didn't die with Simon.

[21:38] Ian Malcolm:

- Man is mortal.

- Ideas can last forever.

[21:38] Owen Grady:

- Blue's basically the apex of the apex now.

- And with Ingen needing new sources of income, they're going to try creating a lot more of her.

- That's my guess anyway.

[21:39] Ian Malcolm:

- You're worried that they'll take her away from you?

[21:39] Owen Grady:

- She doesn't belong to me.

- But, yes.

[21:40] Ian Malcolm:

- Owen, you realise that what you and Blue have, however you want to define it, is unnatural, right?

- This is a relationship that shouldn't exist.

[21:40] Owen Grady:

- So you're siding with them?

[21:41] Ian Malcolm:

- No, I'm on the fence.

[21:41] Owen Grady:

- Malcolm, you and I both know from personal experience that fences don't last forever.

-------{{INTERNAL CONCERNS}}-------

Participants: George Lambert, Ian Malcolm;

[11:13] George Lambert:

- As crazy as it sounds, I'm convinced that some of this sabotage is being perpetrated by in-house actors.

[11:15] Ian Malcolm:

- Doesn't sound that crazy to me.

[11:16] George Lambert:

- Yeah, maybe.

- It's happened before.

[11:17] Ian Malcolm:

- That's, not a question, is it?

- Because, yes, it has.

[11:17] George Lambert:

- Why?

[11:18] Ian Malcolm:

- Motive and opportunity.

- And passion.

- Oh, and one other thing... the new Director of Operations.

- They're proving things can be done differently.

- Success, can be threatening to certain individuals.

[11:18] George Lambert:

- That sounds like something Hammond would say.

[11:19] Ian Malcolm:

- Hmm... yes, it does.

- And as much as I disagreed with the man, I'll take it as a compliment.

-------{{TRUST ISSUES [2/2]}}-------

Participants: Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing;

[10:11] Ian Malcolm:

- Trust issues, is it now?

[10:11] Claire Dearing:

- Now and always.

- You know my concern is the well-being of the dinosaurs.

- Those animals have rights that need to be protected.

[10:11] Ian Malcolm:

- Rights, Ms. Dearing?

- These animals shouldn't even be, well, anything.

[10:12] Claire Dearing:

- Chaos theory says otherwise, doesn't it, Doctor?

[10:12] Ian Malcolm:

- Ah... perhaps you've been paying attention to my reports after all.

[10:12] Claire Dearing:

- Look, we both care about the same things.

[10:12] Ian Malcolm:

- Do we?

[10:13] Claire Dearing:

- Yes. I believe we do. In fact, I know we do.

- And someone is up to something on the islands.

- What and why is my interest here.

- Maybe this new person is the problem. Or maybe they can help us idenitfy who is.

[10:14] Ian Malcolm:

- Well, if the problem is me, then this whole plan... scheme... of yours has already failed.

[10:15] Claire Dearing:

- Well... has it?

[10:16] Ian Malcolm:

- No.

[10:17] Claire Dearing:

- Good. I'll be in touch again.

- Soon.

-------{{MISSING SCIENTISTS [2/2]}}-------

Participants: Ian Malcolm, Kajal Dua;

[14:25] Ian Malcolm:

- A team, yes. You and Dr. Wu. History repeating itself. I've seen this all before.

- First, the disappearances.

- Then the hunting...

[14:25] Kajal Dua:

- Look, if... and that's a big if... if Dr. Wu created a new hybrid, your Director of Operations helped him. So we're all in this together.

[14:25] Ian Malcolm:

- And then comes the running.

- And the biting.

- And the dying.

Hallo Mr Holmes, what’s your opinion of the Jurassic World films? Have you seen them? If yes, who’s your favourite character? Mine is Owen and Blue :]

Hello.

At first glance, the science behind the Jurassic Park movie seems plausible and should thus pique my interest. However, even with a basic understanding of biotechnology, it quickly becomes clear that the science in Jurassic Park is largely unrealistic. Perfectly preserved ancient mosquitoes are extremely rare, and the blood they contain does not have recognisable DNA, as this delicate molecule degrades rapidly. Even well-preserved whole animals like mammoths can not be cloned with today's technology.

Nonetheless, Paleontology is one of my many hobbies and I am rather fond of dinosaurs. And even tho it was difficult to endure sometimes due to the scientific errors, I did watch the Jurassic Park movies, not the Jurassic World nonsense. I was quite entertained by Dr. Ian Malcolm.

The Countdown to Happiness - Day 10

Picture: Panorama Helsinki / Finland - Dom und Parlamentsplatz (by   tap5a)

From November 24th on, I will post one chapter of

“We only do this for Fergus!”

[From @outlanderpromptexchange - Prompt 3: Fake Relationship AU: Jamie Fraser wants to formally adopt his foster son Fergus, but his application will probably not be approved… unless he is married and/or in a committed relationship. Enter one Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp (Randall?) to this story]

every day until it’s “Happy End”. Yes, you might not believe it but there is a Happy End coming around New Year’s Eve / New Year :) I hope you enjoy reading this little story (again).
