(Hey All - so a little context beforehand. I really enjoyed some of the characters in Evolution, and the little moments we get of them interacting with one another - so I wanted to try and add a little more depth to those wonderful characters the Frontier team created in a short fan-fiction that attempts to loosely tie Evolution into Canon. I've only written the chapter below so far, but if people enjoy it, I may work on more

Chapter 1 – Welcome to Isla Matanceros
In the years since the death of Doctor John Parker Hammond, the face of the International Genetics Technologies (InGen) had changed significantly. The company had filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, but had been purchased in its dying days by the massive, multi-national conglomerate known as the Masrani Corporation. Helmed by the innovative and, some would even argue, brash Simon Masrani, the company was a textbook example of a massive global company with power in every industry imaginable. Masrani had all kinds of entities – from a private security wing with close ties to the armed forces, to a renewable energy research department focussed on bettering the world. One could argue, that perhaps, the purchase of InGen had been a logical one – acquiring top-of-the-line equipment which the company could repurpose for their other ventures. Perhaps, a private island would make a perfect research facility – allowing new technology for military application to be developed in secret? Or perhaps ownership of Isla Nublar, Isla Sorna and stakes in the surrounding islands would allow Mascom (Masrani’s communications network) to cover more of the globe than any other communications provider – providing a service which could not be competed with? Despite all the wonderful prospects for making huge amounts of revenue, Simon Masrani did not purchase InGen for its equipment, it’s shares or it’s land. Simon Masrani purchased In-Gen for something far simpler – history. Because Simon Masrani, like many others his age, had heard tales of wonder and awe. Tales of where that rogue Tyrannosaurus Rex which had popped up in San Diego had originated. Tales, of Jurassic Park.
Masrani had wasted no time in acquiring Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, alongside two more islands – Isla Matanceros, and Isla Pena. He then proceeded to track down Doctor Henry Wu – renowned geneticist and a leader of the original Jurassic Park programme. Masrani had been able to ascertain lots from the Jurassic Park remnants his initial teams had discovered from both sites. He had learned how the dinosaurs were created, and who had been involved in training them. It was unfortunate that certain people – like Robert Muldoon – had perished, as their experience would have been invaluable to Masrani now. But he was determined to rebuild. Work started quickly on Isla Nublar – building a five-star facility which was to be an attraction which people would want to visit the world over. Nublar was set to have everything – a waterpark, hotels, a monorail system, a shopping district, and, of course, plenty of living attractions to immerse guests within the past. Species here included many which had been unlocked in 1993 – such as the nimble Gallimimus, the behemoth Brachiosaurus and the terrifying Tyrannosaurus which the world had already seen in all its glory. The goal here was to mix these with new species Masrani’s corporation would uncover – such as Edmontosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus, creating a truly remarkable attraction for the world to see. There was even speculation that Masrani had assigned some of his assets to keep an eye out for an aquatic-based asset, but this was pure speculation at best.
The work on Nublar - and the dinosaur production facilities present on Isla Sorna, were kept relatively quiet. Apart from Masrani’s extravagant viral marketing campaign in the months leading up to the 2005 opening of Jurassic World, there was not much discussion about the park. Barely anything leaked before the announcement – just as planned. There had been a few mishaps, and an incident with the tragic death of an intern during a transfer of an asset from Isla Sorna, but these had been dealt with, and the park was now open to the public. The year was 2015 – and business was booming. Production on Sorna had hit an all-time high, and a new, top-secret asset was in development at Nublar’s research facility. But demand for new dinosaurs was rapidly outweighing public interest, and Masrani needed a solution to the issues facing him. With a need for faster, quicker genetic research, Masrani decided to use one of the other islands as a resource to perfect dinosaurs ready for breeding on Isla Sorna. He had deemed Isla Pena too small, so Isla Matanceros had become the choice island where Masrani would allow his brand-new research sandbox to be constructed. Here, science, security and entertainment division heads would work together to test, strengthen and deliver new features which could be implemented on Isla Nublar – bringing more guests to the island and creating more revenue for Masrani Global. Isla Matanceros itself was a relatively nice island – providing the perfect landscape for a research facility. It was adorned with tall, towering giants of rock in the northern quarter, and low, luscious grasslands filled with vivid and vibrant trees further south – before it reached the coastline. Here and there, pools of bright blue water bubbled to the surface – providing natural outlets for local activities to utilise. It was a perfect landscape – beautiful, but barren, and ready for usage.
Masrani had appointed three members of staff on the island to oversee operations on Matanceros. The first was Dr Kajal Dua – a stern and blunt lady of Asian origin with a well-pronounced and well-spoken voice. She was a relatively young lady, but she was someone who was very job focussed – always seen wearing a white lab coat and nearly always ready to scrub in. She reported directly to Dr Henry Wu, and was tasked with completing animal genomes on Matanceros so that they could be passed onto Isla Sorna’s incubation team to create a faster paced development cycle. In sharp contrast to Dr Dua was Isaac Clement – a brilliant young Caucasian man whose passion for entertainment was about as long and wild as the afro which adorned his head. He was tasked with creating entertainment, so guests wanted to visit and interact with the Masrani Global facilities on Isla Nublar. Isaac had been brought in late in the game – and had been given a tough job considering his predecessor had come up with the now symbolic Gyrosphere. But Clement had ideas – and he was working to make them a reality. The glue holding these sides together – and keeping them from each other’s throats – was George Lambert. George Lambert had been hard drafted from Masrani Global’s private security division – a muscular African man of about thirty-five with a serious demeanour and a sometimes-violent demeanour to back that up. He was the leader of the security on Matanceros – overseeing ACU (Asset Containment Unit) response times and always being ready for potential situations. He was usually found in sleek, black clothing – going further to instil his sense of ownership across the rest of the island. He worked in close liaison with Katashi Hamada – who oversaw security operations on Isla Nublar – to oversee ACU drills and operations to ensure all personnel were equipped and ready.
Matanceros had strong leadership in place for each division – with even stronger foundations in place for infrastructure on the island. Masrani global had invested money in a localised port at the South tip of the island – with a large port designed to allow big vessels to ship large quantities of finished embryos from Matanceros to be hatched on Sorna. This port also provided ample opportunity for many of Matanceros’s buildings to be delivered. The large majority of them were high-tech, prefabricated structures developed by Timack Construction as part of a revolutionary overhaul of construction support for Jurassic World moving forwards. The first structure put in place on Isla Matanceros was a small but functional power facility. The facility had tapped into the volcanic nature of the island, using hot air to produce geothermal energy which would power a grid spread out across Matanceros. The power station itself was a rugged, cuboid-type building, with extra gasoline supplies store in large drums on the exterior in case of a sudden power outage. The building also featured rugged metal panelling to protect it from the un-predictable Costa Rican climate, and thick, immoveable support struts locking the entire frame together. The building itself was two storeys tall, with a series of exterior walkways and stairwells allowing power workers easy access to all the necessary equipment they would need to keep Matanceros’s power grid functioning.
The next building constructed was a state-of-the-art ACU facility, after Lambert had demanded it be placed in the centre of the island to allow response to any issues which may occur. This building was rugged and tough like the power station, but it featured several more areas which alluded to its role on the island. Big, heavy metal shutters on the front face of the facility concealed ground response vehicles which ACU personnel could use to get to localised events quickly and efficiently. Storage crates adorned the structure as well, holding everything from tranquilisers to animal captures devices – all with the intention of containing the equipment that the team would need access to. The roof of the building was also adorned with solar panels and a heavy gasoline container, providing alternative sources of power to arguably the most important building on the entire island. And then there was the defining feature – the Helipad. The octagonal shape on the rooftop had a moderately sized Blue Helicopter with a sizeable cargo bay. It was a heavy single-rotor helicopter, adorned with In-Gen logos and featuring a rugged landing skid and a heavy-duty spotlight. This helicopter had clearly also received careful consideration for the climate – providing localised ACU teams with quick transportation to objectives which were further away. The ACU building was where George Lambert’s office was situated – a mixture of high-tech computer technology, and weaponry – both live-round and stun varieties. It was also where Isaac Clement’s small office was shoved – with no room for a full entertainment office block on Matanceros itself.
Not to be out staged by her colleagues more rugged facilities, Dr Dua’s research building was a shining marble of modern architecture. Beautiful white walls blended seamlessly with thick, tempered glass – creating a clinical but practical looking facility. Various sensors and vents adorned the rooftop, hinting at some of the work occurring inside – and CCTV cameras could be found everywhere. Dr Dua had been very specific about the importance of the research being done in this building, and had wanted the highest-quality security – much to Lambert’s agitation. This had created tension between the pair, with Dua questioning how seriously Lambert was willing to take his job – something which he did not appreciate. Stemming from the facility were long concrete and glass corridors – creating an enclosed pathway. Here and there, smaller tunnels stemmed off – leading into large concrete paddocks which adorned the area behind the research centre. It was clear that the dinosaurs were transported from the facility into enclosures through these tunnels – allowing them to be released into enclosures where they could be closely studied. The facility ate up a large portion of the island – but was crucial in completing Matanceros’s purpose and providing Jurassic World with new attractions. The rest of the island was fairly barren – with some areas separated with concrete walls and path connections so Isaac could conduct experiments. The only other area was a fenced of thicket of trees to the North near the mountains – which was cordoned of as restricted. This was a developmental build for the Brachiosaur Treetop attraction – a brand new addition for Jurassic World’s second phase.
Work was going well. Matanceros had been under development for a while and a solid infrastructure was in place. Jurassic World had avoided an incident for 10 years. Nothing could go wrong. Everything was accounted for. Or so, they thought…
