Even amongst the shredded electric fences and blood-splattered cretaceous ferns, life finds a way.

Long ago, when Jurassic Park collapsed under the bloodied talons of ancient human-hungry lizards, Isla Nublar was bombed. Destroyed. Blown to smithereens, dinosaurs and all. After the deaths of so many innocent people, doing so was the most obvious course of action.
In just a few years, a new team of scientists were at work, determined not to make the same mistakes again with things such the park’s setup and faulty DNA sequences. But in the end, Ian Malcolm’s chaos theory still held true, and before long, the momentarily successful Jurassic World spiraled into an utter disaster.
This time, though, it was completely different. The whole planet knew about Jurassic World, whereas only a select few had known about the park. The decision about what to do with the island had been easy then, with Jurassic Park, but now, with a hugely popular international attraction turned upside down, it’s guaranteed all the breaking news coverage and every nasty cobweb of politics the world has to offer.
A good many agree that bombing the heck out of Isla Nublar would not only be the safest, quickest way to deal with the dinos, but also the best way to avenge the heart-shattering deaths of the Jurassic World victims.
But then there’s the whole other side, arguing that the dinosaurs shouldn’t be harmed at all. It’s not their fault that we brought them into the modern world and slipped up a few times. They don’t deserve to be killed. What about the plant-eating dinosaurs, who wouldn’t hurt a fly? Do they really deserve to have their lives cut short due to the bloodthirsty nature of their carnivorous brethren?
Among all this, there’s still the American military, clamoring for their standpoint on combat glory. The urge to train raptors and other intelligent carnivores hasn’t died down; if anything, the Jurassic World massacre has only encouraged them further.
What’s to be done? Several months have passed since Jurassic World closed, and things are far from settled. Attempts to isolate the remaining herbivores from the hungry carnivores have been nearly fruitless, and by now the island is a run-down dinosaur reserve, ridden with trampled fences and shattered Jurassic World attractions. It seems like no one wants to set foot on the island. A pack of velociraptors may be roaming the beaches or cluster of compsognathus could be making their home in an abandoned gift shop. A t-rex might be waiting on the docks, eyeing the horizon for the coming ships and growling in anticipation.
But then again, there are always those who can still ignore the horrors of Jurassic Park and World and see only the glimmering mirage of a successful attraction, the gem of success: a Jurassic Paradise.
Meet Walter Hammond Polk, multi-billion dollar entrepreneur and third cousin removed of John Hammond, the man who first made his dream come true and created Jurassic Park. It's this guy who dishes out the dollars to the members of an ultimate Isla Nublar exploration team, to see if it's worth buying the island and investing in a new attraction. Polk dreams of a third reincarnation of the park in a much more controlled fashion, with trained dinosaurs and a simpler, more exclusive layout.
He's planned to hire a chaos theorist, a dinosaur expert, a scientist, a survivalist, and two hunters from the Jurassic World days. He's also bringing his dinosaur-adoring grandson along and permitting two more people - a journalist and an eager tourist - rooms on his cruise ship to the island.
