Big helicopters burst through the fog, thundering and wheeling over the landscape, their underbellies heavy with armament, causing the raptors to scatter.

Synopsis:
Gennaro is forced down the rabbit hole where they land in the raptor nest. It’s filled with dozens of raptors, of various ages. Grant supposes there have been multiple generations born on the island, and then they get to counting the eggs, the egg shells, but are ultimately distracted by the animals’ conspicuous and unusual behaviour: why are they all lining up in this unusual northeast-southwest formation? Then, the raptors are sprint out of the nest and “into the darkness beyond.”

The Text:
This week’s text is Almost Paradigm, spanning from pages 380 – 384.
Synopsis:
Hammond is uncomfortable with Malcolm’s sepsis, and leaves for a walk believing that the park is under control now, and is safe. On his walk back to his bungalow, he stews over how unfit everyone he’d hired to work at Jurassic Park had been, blaming them all for its downfall – and taking no responsibility of his own. Then he hears the roar of the juvenile tyrannosaurus, and panics. Out of fear and anger, he winds up falling down a ravine, landing in a river below, with a broken ankle. It turns out the tyrannosaur roar is just a recording being broadcast over loud speakers, as Tim and Lex are playing around on the computer in the control room, and there was no danger after all. 
Discussions surround:
Dramatic Irony, Responsibility and Safety, Considering whether or not you should, and Almost Paradise v. Almost Paradigm.

Intro: Sally Ride.  Outro: Shelter Dog.
The Text:
This week’s text is Under Control, spanning from pages 369 – 379.
Synopsis:
Things are back under control. The computer’s functioning properly, the Visitor Center and Safari Lodge are secure, there aren’t any dinosaurs in the norther sector,  and the authorities are on their way. Even the air-conditioning is working again! And a medic is coming for Malcolm.
The carnage has been measured: out of 24 people on the island, eight were dead and six were missing (p. 269). The National Guard is on its way – and the Costa Rican guard is surely speaking with Washington D.C., to discuss what these Americans are doing out on Isla Nublar. This international conversation may be slowing down the medical response, the novel suggests (p. 369).
Grant recruits Muldoon, Sattler and Gennaro to investigate the velociraptor nests, to inspect them and estimate how many animals have been born in Jurassic Park. Before they go, they discover a secret bunker at the maintenance shed equipping them with nerve gas for defense against the raptors.
They travel to the southern fields and follow a juvenile velociraptor to the nest.
Discussions surround:
The Dinosaurs, Equilibrium, Shipping News, Damned Gennaro, Timeline, Contrivances in Plot, and Big Questions.
Corrections:
I incorrectly correlated “rediscovered” animals with cryptid animals – they are categorically different. A rediscovered animal would be a known animal, if from nothing else, at least fossil evidence – cryptids on the other hand, are known anecdotally or only by witness accounts – not from verified evidence. So – that was not a correct line of thought, though I’m glad we were able to talk a bit about cryptids!

The Text:
The Seventh Iteration, “Increasingly, the mathematics will demand the courage to face its implications.”
This week’s text is Destroying The World, spanning from pages 367– 369.
Synopsis:
Hammond believes they’ve saved the world by stopping the raptors from reaching the mainland, but Malcolm says that “life” would survive – that life finds a way to overcome all odds. “Life” is the greatest power; Hammond is deluded if he thinks otherwise. 
Discussions surround:
Life Finds a Way, Semantics, Power is Magic, Crichton Tropes 
Corrections:
I said Ernst Stromer was a paleontologist from the 1800s – which isn’t quite correct. Yes, he was born in 1886, but his work on Spinosaurus and his career as a paleontologist was spent almost entirely in the 1900s, including the famous trip the Bahariya Formation in 1910. So, he was a 20th century paleontologist whose magnum opus was certainly in the 1900s. I was incorrect in describing him as a paleontologist from the 1800s.
Also, I wondered if the expression “Crocodile Tears” may have come from crocodiles excreeting excess salt via tear ducts, and, upon looking into it, saltwater crocodiles are known to have tears which help rid them of the excess salt that they take in with their food.

Synopsis:
Malcolm relates the importance of showing humility before nature, as the raptors gnaw through the bars. Meanwhile, Lex and Tim escape the raptors into the nursery – sacrificing the infant raptor to the three other raptors pursuing them; before being reunited with Grant and Gennaro.
Grant weaponizes his knowledge of dinosaurs, and the toxins in Wu’s lab, to defeat the three raptors, before racing to the Control room.
