"Eddie [...] just got back. And he brought the baby with him."

Hello Internet! As much as I hate having to say it, this may be my last blog post; the situation on this island is too chaotic.

When I last left you, I had just found out that we (Doc Thorne, Richard Levine, Eddie Carr, Sarah Harding, and the kids, Kelly and Arby) were not alone on the island; Lewis Dodgson was also here, with two of his assistants(Sarah said their names were King and Baselton). I suspected he was up to no good, and I couldn’t be more right; those idiots were attempting to steal the T-rex eggs!   

I’m not certain what they planned to do with the eggs (knowing Dodgson, he probably intended to sell them). But I do know that they were disrupting the island’s ecosystem by stealing them.

Anyways, as they approached the nest, both T-rex parents showed up! Dodgson was prepared. He brought a high-frequency sound emitter that stunned the T-rex parents. This gave Dodgson’s assistants the time to nab an egg. But just as they did so, the sound emitter’s battery died. Serves them right.

Once the battery died, the sound died with it, and panic among Dodgson and his assistants ensued. Dodgson and King ran for their jeep and drove the heck out of there, while Baselton froze in his tracks. He was completely motionless.

Some may think that he was crazy to do this, but really, he was just misinformed. He thought that considering the similarities between a T-rex brain case and a frog’s, the nervous system of a T-rex was adapted to motion only. Therefore, it cannot see what doesn't move. However, this doesn't make sense because many animals freeze or play dead when in the presence of a predator. In order to overcome this defense mechanism, a T-rex had to be capable of seeing prey that is not moving.

So, considering the T-rex was really able to see him, what happened next was obvious, but very disturbing. The T-rex proceeded to tear him Baselton to shreds, one limb at a time, until he was dead. It was the most gruesome sight I've ever seen. Yet somehow, I don’t really feel sorry for him; after all, what would you expect to happen if you tried to steal eggs straight out of a guarded T-rex nest?  

Once Dodgson and King started driving away, both T-rex parents chased after them angrily, leaving the nest unattended. We took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the casualties: out of the six T-rex offspring, one was missing and one had a broken leg. For such a young T-rex, a broken leg is a fatal injury, so I told Eddie to put the baby out of its misery by shooting it.

After business at the nest was taken care of, we left to track Dodgson but never found him. So we parked near the edge of a cliff, far from any carnivore’s nests. This was when Arby told me over the radio that Eddie returned to his trailer, holding the injured baby T-rex in his arms. I don’t understand why Eddie couldn't follow a simple instruction: shoot the damn T-rex!

Well, it was too late to return the baby to its nest, so we set it down on a table and started making a cast for its broken leg.

The events that followed were too traumatizing for me to speak of, so I will show you a few videos taken from the security cameras in the trailer and in the jungle surrounding us:

Luckily, Eddie threw us a rope which we used to climb back to the top of the cliff. I badly injured my leg in all the chaos. As I upload this post, the deep wound in my leg is excruciating, and Sarah is preparing a dose of morphine for me so she can clean it out. I have no clue when I will wake up or be able to get back to you, so this may be the last blog post.

Until next time (or not),

Ian Malcolm.
