Camila hissed with irritation as yet another wave crashed into the boat, knocking her off balance and making her hand, wielding the tiniest little screwdriver Camila had ever owned, slip and almost stab a hole through the little contraption she had made. Muttering curses in many different languages under her breath, Camila realigned the screwdriver and carefully screwed in the last thin sheet of copper plating to her creation. Setting it down on the small table in from of her, Camila admired her handiwork; a small, copper plated figurine of a long legged crocodile with large, tusk-like teeth. Carefully, she wound up the small tag between it's shoulder blades and waited, holding her breath. After a moment of hesitation, the mechanical dinosaur began to move, tail thrashing, head turning, jaws snapping. Camila grinned as the movement slowed to a stop. Perhaps the thing she was looking forwards to the most on this trip was the chance to spot her favorite dinosaur; the Kaprosuchus, or boar crocodile. The tiny likeness sitting in front of her was nothing compared to the life sized animatronic she could create back at her workshop, if only she could get a good, close look at the real thing, she could replicate it and it's movements almost perfectly in metal, cogs and gears. Camila had no love for InGen, after what they used her machines for she could barely find it in her to trust them, but the temptation of seeing dinosaurs again was too much for her to resist. One of Camila's favorite things to do when she worked on Isla Nublar was watch the baby dinosaurs hatch. Camila would never forget the day she saw a Spinosaurus hatch; they are surprisingly adorable when little, not at all the toothy monstrosities they turn into. Camila was jarred out of her memories by the sound of voices outside the cabin. Looking out the window, Camila spotted two pretty girls conversing on the deck. Camila sized them up for a moment, debating whether to approach them, but since she had never been the best at first impressions, Camila was torn. Sighing in resignation, Camila cradled the mechanical dinosaur in her hands and approached her two colleagues. Leaning on the doorframe, Camila took a moment to look at them in detail. one girl, Calla, Camila thought her name was, seemed nice, and Camila could see that excited and scared look in her eyes that most had when confronted with the possibility of seeing dinosaurs. The other, Hazel, looked a bit nervous, wringing her hands together, and Camila smiled when she saw the pride pins on her jacket. "Are you guys looking forward to seeing dinosaurs? Let me tell you, they really are all they're hyped up to be." Camila kept her tone neutral, not sounding too enthusiastic, but certainly not deadpanning. The mechanical dinosaur in the hand not leaning on the doorframe gave a small twitch and a light whirring sound as her thumb brushed over the wind-up tag.

“No I haven’t yet but I would expect to meet some more people soon.” Hazel heard the new voice and turned around to see who spoke. She recognized here as the mechanic, Camila. She recognized her because she looked like someone you do not want to mess with. “I am interested but also nervous. I have seen what a polar bear can do. I’m not super excited to figure out what a predator bigger than an elephant can do.” She looked at Camilia’s hands and noticed the figurine and smiled. She recognized it as a Kaprosuchus and couldn’t help but smile. “That’s a pretty awesome Kaprosuchus. I can see the crocodilian resemblance. It’s always quite fascinating when I get to work with those of the Crocodilia order. One of my favorites,” she told her with a smile. She stepped closer and leaned in a little to look at it.

Calla nodded as she listened to Hazel, before both of their heads turned at the sound of a new voice. The mechanic, Calla would guess, if the tiny machine in her hands was anything to go off of. As she spoke, and Hazel responded, the small auburn head took a moment to observe the new presence. Tattoos littered her skin, and Calla felt a small tingle of relief that she wasn't the only inked crew member. As far as the girl's comment went, she was partially right.

Offering a small smile, Calla lifted herself onto the railing to sit on the upper rungs, hooking her feet around the lower rails for stability. "I'm pretty psyched to see them. Dinosaurs are just like all other animals. Once you figure out what their instincts and communication is based in, you can understand them, survive them you know?" A small, modest shrug accompanied her next statement. "Besides, I'm pretty sure InGen brought me on as a formality. But it'll be a good adventure."

A bright smile and the green eyed woman held out her hand, leaning forward from her perch, "I'm Calla by the way. Calla Minola Leon. What's your name?"

Camila was momentarily surprised at Hazel's knowledge of the kaprosuchus, but her surprise was quelled when she realized Hazel was the veterinarian. Of course she would know about a wide variety of dinosaurs. Giving Hazel another one of her rare smiles (strange, how this girl was already able to make her smile) Camila wound the tag of the dinosaur's back and watched with pride as it began to move. Turning her head, Camila looked at Calla, and took her hand for a firm, but welcoming handshake. "Camila Rose." Camila stated simply, offering Calla a reserved smile. "Spoken like a true handler. For me, dinosaurs are a bit like machines, in a sense; created by humans, complex, dangerous, and, if given the opportunity, can be our destruction." Camila tilted her head, memories of the Indominus Rex as an adolescent, when she learned of its existence, flashed through her head. "InGen always has an ulterior motive, if you ask me. I have no love for this company. They have taken my machines and used them to create something evil, los tontos." Camila couldn't stop her lip curling slightly in indignation as she thought about the company. "But I admire you both for agreeing to come on this mission. Not everybody would want to travel to a doomed island full of deadly creations to retrieve a creature that is very well capable of taking us all out." Camila surveyed Calla's face, and then Hazel's. They were both very pretty, and young, and ambitious. "I like the pins, Hazel. Always nice to meet another queer woman who isn't afraid to show her pride." Camila smiles. The kaprosuchus's movements began to slow, and come to a stop in her hand.

“That is true Calla. Though you have to be careful. These creatures don’t know just how ruthless humans are so they don’t fear us. I love animals but you have to be careful that you don’t forget to respect them and their power,” Hazel said. “The only reason I’m doing this is for the animals. I have no love for this company either. They are idiots that can’t seem to remember what happens when they try to play god.” She crossed her arms and sighed. “Good thing I’ve worked on apes before. I have a feeling someone may get hurt.” She noticed the figurine moving and her feelings quickly got replaced with curiosity. “How long did it take you to build this?” Hazel went to touch it but pulled her hand back since she didn’t ask. “Hmm? Oh yeah my patches.” Hazel straightened back up She had gotten so used to them and rarely got compliments on them so she often forgot about them. “Maybe someday they will help me get a partner,” She said looking down with a smile.

Camila grins at Hazel. "You'll find somebody. You're both kind and cute, those two qualities are often difficult to find in the same person." Camila shuddered as she remembered the many times she's been spurned by pretty girls who turned out to be quite ugly on the inside. Camila brought the mechanical figurine up to her eye level. "I started on him when I boarded the boat, finished him a minute or two before I approached you guys. Not my best work, but I was looking through my supplies and figured gears this small wouldn't be too useful in the kind of machinery I'll be working on on the island." Camila shrugged modestly and held it out to Hazel. "You can touch it if you want. Although, I would keep my fingers away from the mouth if I were you; sometimes these things are a bit finicky and those teeth are sharp, trust me." Camila held up her other hand to show a collection of criss-crossing scratch marks littering her calloused palm and fingers.

“It’s amzing for how quickly you did it.” Hazel gently ran a finger along the figurines back. She was careful how avoid it’s head so she wouldn’t get bit. She smiled to herself before switching her attention to the cuts on Camila’s hands. “Would you like me to disinfect those? They look like they will be fine but better safe than sorry. I was planning on finding the rest of the group but it would only take a minute.” Hazel looked up and gave her a sweet smile.

Camila was a bit taken aback by Hazel's offer, but regained her composure quickly. "If it isn't too much trouble for you, I'd like that." Camila returns Hazel's smile. How can this girl be so sweet? Camila thought to herself warmly. "Always better to be safe before embarking on a journey through a island full of flora and fauna from a different time period." Camila states quietly, wincing as the Indominus Rex once again popped into her mind. That monster would haunt her until the day she died. It was their creation, but my creations enabled its creation. By extension, I am responsible for all those deaths. The blood on my hands is too thick to wash off. Camila cast a fond glance at Hazel's face. And I'll be damned if anyone else dies because of my mistakes.

xxxThe island always seemed so far away when it was forbidden. It was the one place that my parents had never taken me and they actually whent to the extreme of having me miss out on a school trip when they decicided to go to the island to explore all that the wold of dinosaurs had to offer. I cleared my throat clearig my mind from the thoughts of a world that was so udiscovered. Yet one that I was so scared of.

xxx Since the wid from the ocean was startig to get to me I stepped away from the deck closer to the wall of the boat. I was not hungry, but my mind was hungering for some caffene. It was almost like I coud feel the pouding in my head begin to arrise. What a perfect start to this already perfect day. I rubbed my temple as I got the door to the boat open. I walked down the main streach of the walkway and took in a deep breath to try to get the coming headache to just hold off for a little longer while I was off to get coffee. However when I rouded the corer I almost crashed into a group that had gathered talking there. My green eyes widened, probably looking like a slab of jade. Instinctively I reached for my knife that was tucked away in my back pocket. I had far too much faith in the small object to keep me safe. I also had decided to just bring one as having the entire belt with me was not going to be helpful. I blinked a few times asessig the group to the best of my ability. I believe that these were the other members of my team. But the tension in my body remaied.

"Ill go grab my bag you can stay here," Hazel said and went to go grab it. She noticed the guy who she recognized as Dorian Clarke due to his eyes that stood out. She didn't pick up his tension so she just greeted him, "Hey you must be Dorian." She gave him a small smile. "I'm Hazel Murphy the Veterinarian. I also can double as a doctor when needed." She remembered that she was going to grab the stuff and pulled her hand back before waiting for a response. "Sorry i'm all over the place. I need to go grab something." She quickly walked off to go get her bag. Man my mind is all over the place. The joys of ADD. Once she found her bag she made sure what she needed was in it. After confirming she had everything she took a deep breath to calm herself down because she felt like she was going 90 miles a hour. Its a wonder I even got this job you would think that I would go so fast I would implode. She fixed her bun and made it neater than before then started to walk back.
