Simplified Story
CONTAINMENT
The dinosaurs didn’t stay small for long.
The tiny hatchlings that once chirped and wobbled beneath the warming lights were growing bigger, stronger, and much harder to manage.
The team knew the nursery would not be enough anymore.
So, for now, the dinosaurs were moved into a secure holding area deep beneath the library, farther down than most people had ever gone. New enclosures were built. Reinforced gates were installed. Cameras, locks, motion sensors, and monitors were added to track every movement.
But everyone knew this was only temporary.
The dinosaurs were growing too quickly to stay underground forever. They needed more space, more sunlight, and a place where they could roam safely.
Hammond had already begun dreaming bigger.
“One day,” he said, looking through the glass at the dinosaurs beyond the barriers, “people won’t have to imagine what these creatures were like. They’ll be able to see them for themselves.”
Dr. Eliza Fern looked thoughtful. “They would need land. Open space. Carefully planned habitats.”
“A park,” Hammond said, smiling. “A place where the world can come and witness something extraordinary.”
Dr. Malcolm Reed did not smile.
“A park full of dinosaurs,” he said slowly. “What could possibly go wrong?”
Hammond stood proudly before the control screens, watching them roam safely behind their barriers.
“Everything is under control,” he said. “They’re safe, and so are we.”
Dr. Grantley Stone stood beside him, studying one of the larger dinosaurs as it moved along the edge of its enclosure. His expression was thoughtful, but not entirely comfortable.
“They’re growing faster than expected,” he said. “Stronger, too. These enclosures may hold them for now, but they were never meant to be permanent.”
Hammond nodded, though his eyes stayed fixed on the screens.
“Which is why we need the park,” he said. “More space. Better habitats. A place built for them.”
Dr. Grantley looked at the reinforced gates, the cameras, and the rows of warning lights blinking across the control panel.
“A place built carefully,” he said.
At first, everything was fine.
The dinosaurs stayed in their enclosures. The systems stayed online. The holding area ran exactly as planned.
But then small problems began to appear.
Lights flickered.
Doors took a little longer to lock.
Cameras froze for a second before blinking back on.
Control screens glitched, flashed, and then quickly returned to normal.
In the control room, Nedrick Vale worked nonstop, rushing from one system to another as alarms beeped and monitors blinked.
“Too many systems,” he muttered, tightening a panel beneath the desk. “Not enough help…”
Nearby, Dr. Malcolm Reed watched quietly, his concern growing with every flicker of the lights.
“You can build all the systems you want,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean you’re in control.”
No one listened.
The dinosaurs were contained.
The doors were locked.
The monitors were running.
But deep beneath the library, something wasn’t quite right.
YOUR JOB AS A CONTAINMENT SPECIALIST:
READ
The dinosaurs are growing fast, and the team needs extra help keeping the holding area secure.
As a Containment Specialist, your job is to help monitor the enclosures, check the systems, study dinosaur behavior, and make sure every dinosaur stays safely contained.
Read carefully. Complete your missions. Watch for warning signs.
*Reading level five will remain locked until the next phase of the story begins, so keep recording your minutes—your progress will be ready when the next part of the expedition opens.
The dinosaurs may be behind locked gates… but locked gates only work when the systems do.
CHALLENGES
The dinosaurs are growing fast, and the holding area must stay secure.
From this point on, there will not be any new challenges added. Instead, this is your chance to continue working on the challenges already available.
Complete any unfinished challenges to earn bonus points and drawing tickets while helping the team strengthen the expedition.
Stay alert, Containment Specialist. The systems are still running… but something is starting to glitch.
