After years of intense legal assault, it's a complete mystery to me as to how Ingen is even able to stand as an entity worthy of any form of lawsuit. The Jurassic Park incident was a slap on the wrist compared to this catastrophe. The United States Senate is in heated debate regarding the ultimate fate of the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar. Once again, it seems that "dinosaurs" are on the verge of extinction. Since after the catastrophe three years ago, what remains of Ingen - as well as the Costa Rican government - have gone on record insisting that Isla Sorna has been completely eradicated of all dinosaur life. Apparently, the ecosystem of the island effectively collapsed, and the survivors were sent to Isla Nublar to become attractions in Jurassic World. However, over the last few months, seismic activity around the latter island has been growing more and more intense, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the island's formerly-dormant volcano is preparing for eruption. This WILL spell doom for the surviving denizens of Jurassic World. Claire Dearing is speaking to the Senate, she's now apparently part of something called the "Dinosaur Protection Group", which aims to save the denizens of Isla Nublar. The main debate opposition to Dearing is apparently coming from Ian Malcolm (Oh god, he looks so old!) who claims the dinosaurs are too great a threat to attempt any kind of a rescue. It looks like the Senate is siding with Malcolm.

Malcolm won. The Senate isn't going to do anything, they'll let the volcano end it all. I can't say I blame them, but I still feel it's a damnable shame that the dinosaurs couldn't have been moved to Isla Sorna for the sake of research on what ecosystem might be set up. I've been contacted by Dearing regarding a rescue mission intended for the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar - she's getting funding from Hammond's old business partner Benjamin Lockwood. Unfortunately, I've broken my leg (Of all the rotten timing!) taking a bad fall down the back stairs, and cannot participate in the mission myself (If anyone thinks I'm heading out to Isla Nublar post-disaster WITHOUT being able to run, they're nuts!). However, I'm intending to watch the footage live from a mini-webcam attached to Claire's bag strap, and advise them from a two-way radio.

June 22

The rescue expedition got off to a bad start: the radio's on the fritz, so I can't say anything directly to the island, but I can still watch and hear what's going on. The last couple hours have been pretty quiet... well what do you know, the Sinoceratops herd has survived nicely. As I recall, they were the last species added to the park before the Indominus catastrophe. In fact, they were so new that the official website never actually added them to the roster before everything went to hell (which is really weird now that I think about it, all the advertising was going to the Indominus and the poor Sinoceratops was effectively forgotten).
