Welcome To Jurassic Park!!

 Continue to our journey. Hammond say he’ll be taking us to the Safari Lodge. We went down the hill, toward the buildings. We passed a sign which said: WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK. Then, in a minute, we arrive at the Safari Lodge. I’m quite disappointed with the Safari Lodge. It’s different from the plan Hammond told us. The windows are small, and there are bars over them. The doors are made of metal. And look at the sky-lights on the roof. There are bars over the skylight too. Those plans showed a hotel, this is totally like a prison. And I want to know why. In about 20 minutes later, me and Ellie met Malcolm, Regis, Gennaro, Nedry, and Hammond again in visitor center. We are going for tour around Jurassic Park. We sat down there, and then we start an argument again. About is this place safe for tourist? Is the security system is safe? Are the dinosaurs kept safe at the island? Etc. etc.  Hammond starts to get all angry again, because Malcolm starts to complain about the safety of this island. I heard a sound of helicopter outside, we ran outside and see whose coming. It was 2 children. One was a little girl, she’s about 8 years old. And the other one was a boy. He’s about 11 years old. Hammond starts to introduce them to us. “These are my grandchildren, Tim and Lex Murphy” as he starts speaking, “they come to spend a weekend here.” I can see that Gennaro was very angry with Hammond. He yells at him saying that the island security system isn’t totally safe yet. But looks like Hammond didn’t listen to him. He got angry and leaves us. Now I know that Hammond was a really selfish person.  
Well, we continue our tour, while Regis is leading us. He led us to the control room and we went inside. I see many people in the control room; Regis is introducing them to us one by one. There’s John Arnold, chief engineer. Robert Muldoon, the park warden. And Dr Harding, he’s a vet. Then, Regis lead us to the door says: EXTRACTION. He’s gonna show us how they make the dinosaurs. Inside, there were microscopes and shelves full of yellow stones. There’s a short man who was about 30 years old. He was the chief geneticist, Henry Wu. Wu start to explain as he picked up the yellow stones. He said, he get the dinosaurs DNA from that stone, amber. I mean the animal inside it. They extract the blood from the fly inside the stone. That blood contains dinosaur’s DNA. They use Cray XMP supercomputers to detect the DNA. Some of the dinosaur’s DNA is broken. So, using the supercomputers again, we search for the match DNA, and fix it. That’s how they make the DNA. Then, we moved to the other room: FERTILIZATION. They put the embryos into special eggs. He explains about special shells of the egg and the temperature of the room. They inject poison to the egg if something goes wrong. Then we moved to the next room, HATCHERY. The room was hot and there were rows of eggs lying on the shelf. We go to the nursery. There were many incubators inside the nursery. I see a baby velocilaptor inside one of the incubators.  “Two days ago, I was digging up a fossilized velocilaptor’s bone and eggs. And here’s the live one!” as I joke and open the lid of the incubator. The velocilaptor baby squeaked and hop into Tim’s arm. Tim looks excited. Ed continues talking, “we only make female dinosaurs, so they can’t breed outside there.” He says as we walk into the control room.
When we arrived there, that fat guy Nedry went to one of the computers and start working. We saw a supply ship from one of the monitors there. Ed says, that it brings items and supplies item here every two weeks. He will show the park control system after they’ve unloaded the ship. As I wait, I look at the velocilaptor’s enclosure behind the control room. There were 4m strong metal fences surrounds it.The plant's in the enclosure is really high. about 2 m high. I can see nothing but hearing footsteps. But after i looked again, i finally see the raptors. It was a velocilaptor! Very interesting, isn't it? The weird part is, those velocilaptor trying to kill us. He run toward us, and it slam the electric fences, getting electrified, and turn back. Why that velocilaptor want to kill us? i think things will get worst in this park.
