Timeline (Movie Canon)

## *1525*

* *Isla Nublar is discovered by Spanish navigator Diego Fernandez. The name "Isla Nublar" often being credited to cartographer Nicolas de Huelva. They learn the existence of an indigenous tribe on Isla Nublar, known as the Bribri tribe. The natives refered to Isla Nublar as Guá-Si (meaning Water House or House beyond Water).*
* Officially discovered in 1525 by Spanish navigator Diego Fernandez, the naming of Isla Nublar is often credited to cartographer Nicolas de Huelva, who, on the Spanish carrack *La Estrella* (The Star) described seeing a "cloud island" while mapping the western coast of Costa Rica. The Spaniards learned the existance of a local indigenous tribe to the island, known as the *Bribri* tribe. The natives referred to the island locally as *Guá-Si* (Water House, or, House beyond Water) and themselves as *Tun-Si* (Water Men). Four centuries of history displaced many of the local inhabitants, and in 1987 those few remaining were resettled off the island. The Masrani company wish to acknowledge the indigenous *Bribri* tribe and the contributions they have made to the history and culture of Isla Nublar.

* One of InGen’s major competitors, Mantah Corporation, has so far failed to perform de-extinction.CC
* Dr. Wu creates a contingency plan in the event that animals escape from the facilities, inserting a faulty gene into their genome which causes them to become dependent on weekly supplemental lysine in their food. Without this, the animals will become comatose and eventually die.JP,JPTG This method is approved of by InGen, but vehemently opposed by Dr. Laura Sorkin. Despite her protests, all new InGen employees must agree to uphold the lysine contingency. The successes of Dr. Wu cause him to become favored over Dr. Sorkin.JPTG

* Behind-the-scenes notes suggest that Jurassic Park was originally projected to open this year. The planned opening date was pushed to 1994.JP
* Biosyn Genetics begins planning a heist of InGen trade secrets from Isla Nublar.DPW
* September 20: Dr. Wu discovers that genetic structures in the yellow-banded poison dart frog (*Dendrobates leucomelas*) makes its DNA incompatible with some dinosaur genomes. While it successfully integrates into *Dilophosaurus* DNA, it failed in *Velociraptor* embryos 4x, 6x, and 7x, leading to death by karyolysis. This was remedied by Dr. Wu utilizing genes from the common reed frog (*Hyperolius viridiflavus*) instead.MSRN
	+ This implies that *Dilophosaurus* and *Velociraptor* were created in or after 1991. Older versions of the *Jurassic Park* script imply that *Gallimimus* would have been created after this point as well.JP All of these species would eventually be introduced to Isla Nublar.
	+ Eventually, InGen would succeed in cloning a *Tylosaurus*. Independently, Dr. Sorkin would go on to create *Troodon pectinodon* using modified DNA that Dr. Wu abandoned. They are assumed to have been created sometime in the early 1990s.JPHandbook,JPTG

* At some point InGen leases a tract of land in the Azores for Jurassic Park Europe, an upcoming location, as well as an island near Guam for another location servicing Japan.JP

**1993**

* *Utahraptor* has been described by this time. It was discovered earlier in this continuity than in real life, most likely due to paleontologists in the United States being funded by InGen.JPTG
	+ In real life, *Utahraptor* was given its scientific name in June 1993, shortly after *Jurassic Park* was released in theaters. Its earlier discovery date is known from *Jurassic Park: The Game*‘s InGen Field Guide, in which Laura Sorkin mentions that InGen’s *Velociraptors* are approaching the size range for *Utahraptor*.
* *Herrerasaurus* is first cloned by InGen by this point, most likely this year as all specimens were still juveniles by that summer. In addition, *Jurassic Park: The Game* suggests that *Pteranodon longiceps hippocratesi* had been cloned and introduced to Isla Nublar by this point.JPTG Some plants, such as a Cretaceous species of veriforman, were also cloned and introduced to the island.DPG,JP,JPHandbook,JPTG
	+ Animals cloned by InGen by 1993, but not introduced to Isla Nublar, include *Geosternbergia*, *Mamenchisaurus*, *Baryonyx*, *Carnotaurus*, *Pachycephalosaurus*, *Edmontosaurus*, *Stegosaurus*, and possibly *Apatosaurus*, *Hadrosaurus*, and *Maiasaura*. While *Compsognathus* had been cloned and was planned to be introduced to the Park eventually, it had already been introduced to Isla Nublar unintentionally at this point. The DNA of other species had been recovered, though many had yet to be cloned.DPG One of these species was *Corythosaurus*; InGen documentation suggests that it had been cloned sometime before 1993, but none were alive as of this year.TLW
* Henry Wu starts researching hybridization of different genera, based on his archived email about *Karacosis wutansis* dated 5/21/1997.MSRN
* The *Brachiosaurus* Dot hatches by this time. It is not known if she ever lived on Isla Nublar during the old Park era.EoC
* Eventually, John Hammond and Benjamin Lockwood part ways due to Lockwood’s interest in using InGen’s technology for human cloning.FK Despite this, the Lockwood Manor laboratory remains connected to the InGen network.JWA Charlotte Lockwood remains at Site B despite her father parting ways with Hammond; she stays for as long as the facility is operational.JWD
* April 29: At least one of the Isla Nublar *Triceratops* is reported to have an unidentified ailment by Jurassic Park veterinary staff. Her symptoms recur every six weeks. While her diagnosis remains inconclusive for now, she will eventually be identified as suffering from periodic *Melia* toxicity.Social
* Jess Harding is caught shoplifting. Her mother concedes to let her spend a weekend with her father on Isla Nublar in the hopes that he can change her behavior.JPTG
* A *Velociraptor* is introduced to the paddock, which already contains seven other animals. This newcomer attacks and kills all but two of the others, leaving a total of three. At some point, the raptors breed. The new alpha has her subordinates attack the electric fences when the feeders come, systematically attacking different points to test for weaknesses. The decision was eventually made to move these raptors to a holding pen for security reasons.JP
	+ According to *Jurassic Park: The Game*, this incident resulted in Hammond bringing in a pack of replacement raptors from Site B, as well as deciding to use *Herrerasaurus* in what was originally going to be the raptor attraction.JPTG
* May 24: An incident of unknown nature occurs at Jurassic Park’s geothermal power plant.JPTG
* At this point in time, InGen is in negotiations with China to lease property in Beijing that will be used for an upcoming Jurassic Park location.JP
* Early June: Building continues on Isla Nublar until Jophery Brown, a gatekeeper, is killed by a *Velociraptor* during a transfer to the holding pen. (This is erroneously said to occur in 1992 in the *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Survival Guide*.) Due to this incident, the Board of Directors demands an inquiry into the stability of the Park, including an endorsement tour including chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm and paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant.JP According to the Tour The Island interactive site, a geologist was also planned to review the island (in particular the geothermal power plant), but Donald Gennaro advised against having the geologist invited.TTI
	+ Tour The Island also gives several other details about the Board’s review of the island at this time:TTI
		- Species (IG74726f6f646f6e) is to be euthanized, all embryos and DNA shelved, and all records of its existence eliminated, regardless of Dr. Sorkin’s protests, as the species is dangerous and has no tourism appeal
		- Dr. Sorkin is under review, pending possible reassignment to Site B population research and development
		- Access to geothermal power plant control systems is to be restricted to trained personnel; the site is to be monitored for new magma vents as per Hammond’s insistence
		- The Bone Shaker rollercoaster, while 90% complete, is scheduled for Phase II opening; Robert Muldoon’s concerns about proximity to the herrerasaur and raptor enclosures are taken into account, but security measures currently in place are deemed sufficient
		- Marine facility scheduled for Phase II opening; marketing and public relations campaigns are ready for approval, marine biologists have been hired, and new safety protocols are in place
* Early June: Donald Gennaro is meant to meet John Hammond at the Mano de Dios amber mine in the Dominican Republic, but as Hammond’s daughter is going through divorce proceedings, Hammond does not show. Instead, Gennaro meets the mine’s proprietor, Juanito Rostagno, to discuss the endorsement tour. Hammond has agreed to take his grandchildren to the island for the weekend to keep them away from the divorce proceedings.JP
* June 7: John Hammond arrives in the Montana badlands to meet with Dr. Grant. While there, he also meets Dr. Sattler and invites her along as well, despite her not being on the list of invited experts. They agree to visit the island when he promises to continue funding their digs for a further three years.JP
* June 10: Lewis Dodgson meets with disgruntled InGen programmer Dennis Nedry in San José, Costa Rica. Nedry has agreed to help Dodgson obtain stolen dinosaur embryos in exchange for $750,000 up front and a further $50,000 for each viable embryo.JP
* June 11 through June 13: See 1993 Isla Nublar Incident.JP,JPTG
* After June 13: The incident at Isla Nublar starts the downward spiral of InGen. Sarah Harding ventures to see Ian Malcolm in Costa Rica to see if the rumors of resurrected dinosaurs were true. He confirms that they are, and the two eventually form a romantic relationship.TLW
* July 7: Dodgson follows up on the Isla Nublar disaster. Nedry is still considered missing, according to Biosyn agents in Costa Rica and within InGen. The cryopreservation canister is missing along with him. Biosyn begins Project Footprint, an effort to locate useable DNA samples to catch up to InGen.DPW
* Malcolm reaches out to his daughter Kelly and becomes more present in her life. They move to Austin, Texas where she helps him with his research; Harding becomes a maternal figure for Kelly during the time she spends with Malcolm.TLW
* Having had a change of philosophy, Hammond begins protecting Isla Sorna from InGen (and particularly Peter Ludlow) by ramping down production on the island. Over time, Hammond falls ill and is bedridden by 1997.TLW
* The deaths of Donald Gennaro, Robert Muldoon, and Ray Arnold, despite being covered up by InGen, result in lawsuits from the victims’ families which push InGen toward bankruptcy.TLW
* *Mononykus* is described, originally under the name *Mononychus*. This name is preoccupied by a genus of beetle, and so the dinosaur’s name is changed within the year.

They also discover that *Compsognathus* have established on Isla Nublar, likely having stowed away on ships while the Park was under construction.DPG The operation was infiltrated by Biosyn agents in an effort to locate DNA specimens they can use.DPW
* November: Henry Wu returns to Isla Nublar to assist the clean-up teams in cataloging the animals and to determine how they were breeding. He discovers that the DNA from the common reed frog, which he had used to fill gene sequence gaps in dinosaurian DNA, included genes that allowed protogyny as a response to life in a single-sex environment. All of the DNA samples on Isla Nublar were lost to sabotage, temperature exposure, and water damage.MSRN,DPG Project Footprint concludes with the successful recovery of DNA samples by Biosyn agents.DPW

* Ian Malcolm publicly breaks his nondisclosure agreement on a television interview about the 1993 incident. InGen representative Peter Ludlow begins a smear campaign against Malcolm, discrediting him in the eyes of many. The Costa Rican government, attempting to preserve their reputation as a tourist paradise, publishes a comment: “John Hammond and InGen’s work is filed under genetic research for an ecological preserve. There is no evidence or credibility to far-fetched claims of living dinosaurs.” Jurassic Park is dismissed as a hoax and Malcolm a fraud. He eventually loses his tenure at the University he works at for “allegedly” receiving money to spread rumors of dinosaurs, although he denies ever accepting any. Ludlow gets *The Washington Post* and *Skeptical Inquirer* to publish articles harshly ridiculing Malcolm’s claims that InGen has recreated dinosaurs.DPG,TLW
* Sometime after his television interview, Dr. Malcolm publishes a book entitled *God Creates Dinosaurs*.JW
* According to an earlier script for *Jurassic Park ///*, this was the last year that Alan Grant saw his and Ellie Sattler’s pet blue-and-gold macaw Jack until 2001. This suggests that Grant and Sattler’s relationship ended at around this time.JP3
	+ As Jack was said to be able to speak when he and Grant last saw each other, this suggests that Jack was an adult by this year; blue-and-gold macaws mature over a period of several months, and so he may have hatched as late as 1995.

* October 28: After numerous worker injuries in attempts to deconstruct Jurassic Park, the people of Costa Rica sue InGen for damages incurred. The Costa Rican Department of the Interior acts as plaintiff, represented by the law corporation Muñroz, Fernandez & Estrada. InGen is ordered by the Superior Court of Costa Rica to pay ten million U.S. dollars pursuant to Penal Code Section 2933 for injuries sustained on InGen property. Records of the trial are sent to the Records Office located in Sun Valley, California.TLW
* December 14/15: A British family on a yacht cruise eventually stumbles upon InGen’s Site B. The family’s young daughter, Cathy Bowman, is injured severely by a flock of *Compsognathus*. She recovers in a hospital, but the Bowmans sue InGen following the incident.TLW
	+ The incident with the Bowmans occurred between December 14 and December 15. Paul Bowman can be seen reading the weekend edition of the *Financial Times* with the headline *Ghana’s Kofi Annan to become UN chief*. Annan was selected as UN Secretary-General on December 13, 1996 and took office on January 1, 1997.

* May: Sarah Harding meets with John Hammond, who is anticipating that InGen will soon pillage Site B for its dinosaurs. He sends Harding to Isla Sorna to document the dinosaurs in the wild, hoping to sway public opinion in favor of protecting the dinosaurs. Hammond also contacts documentarian Nick Van Owen and field equipment specialist Eddie Carr for the mission, and hopes that he can coerce Ian Malcolm into joining them. Meanwhile, Peter Ludlow plans his own expedition, hiring paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke, big game hunter Roland Tembo and his parter Ajay Sidhu, and Roland’s associate Dieter Stark.TLW
* May 21: Henry Wu and his research team at InGen have created a hybrid genus of flowering plant, *Karacosis wutansis*, which they present to the International Society of Geneticists.

* Claire Dearing, now twelve years old, is enthralled by the photographs of dinosaurs now surfacing in the news, despite many people calling it a nightmare situation.EoC Similarly, seven-year-old Eric Kirby rewatches the footage of the San Diego incident many times and expresses an intense desire to see dinosaurs in the flesh. This is dismissed as unrealistic by most of his friends, who view him as strange for being excited about the ramifications of the San Diego incident.Survivor
* Claire Dearing is gifted a hand-built telescope from her father.EoC
* The US House Committee on Science begins reviewing the Ethical Negligence within Paleo-Genetic Resurrection Bill (ENPGR), which would extend endangered species rights to de-extinct animals, restrict access to the islands where these species live, and prohibit further de-extinction practices. John Hammond and InGen work on this bill as well.DPG
* Sometime after the existence of dinosaurs becomes common knowledge, Dr. Alan Grant publishes a book entitled *Lost World of the Dinosaurs*. It includes information about his experience in Jurassic Park, being one of very few publicly-available sources of information about the incident. However, Grant’s tone is more cynical in this book, so many people prefer his earlier work.Survivor,JP3,CC Eventually Grant’s works are converted to books-on-tape.JWD
* Claire Dearing encounters a dog that is kept chained outside near her school by a warehouse owner in poor conditions. Animal Control claims that the conditions are not bad enough to allow them to take action, since the dog is fed and watered and has some shelter. With help from her father, Dearing maintains a photographic record and written log of the dog’s situation. Eventually, the owner leaves for two weeks and the dog goes hungry, which Dearing demonstrates to Animal Control. The dog is taken to a local rescue and rehabilitated. It is adopted by a family in Maine and named Roo; the family sends Dearing pictures of Roo every Christmas.EoC

* Within 100 days of the merger, InGen illegally restarts operations on Isla Sorna. It is not known if Simon Masrani was aware of this. Only a select few InGen members were involved, whose names are unknown. Over a period of nine months, animals were illegally bred on the island, including new species such as *Spinosaurus*, *Ceratosaurus*, *Corythosaurus*, and *Ankylosaurus*. These animals were experimented on during these nine months, and incubation was accomplished rapidly to avoid detection. The research and growth of these animals were filed under “Early R&D for Jurassic Park’s second incarnation” and simultaneously “Amalgam Testing.”DPG

* A complex viral marketing campaign, initially perpetrated by an unknown company, begins. Amber-capped paleontological tools are sent to people around the world, initially journalists, celebrities, and scientists, but eventually random people. No notes are attached, simply a card with a tyrannosaur skeleton stamped on. Over the next few weeks, two more mystery gifts are delivered to the recipients. The second contains a compass with a tyrannosaur skeleton imprinted on the back. The third contains a dinosaur tooth, a piece of parchment featuring an ink drawing of a gate, and a key which does not appear to fit any lock. Once of the recipients, the son of a Bolivian farmer, finds an indentation on the box lid and inserts the key; this activates a hologram chip that displays a message: *They’re coming.

**2003**

* February 20: Henry Wu and his colleagues discover why their dinosaurs cannot grow feathers. The culprit is a null allele, a nonfunctional copy of a gene created by mutation; it was caused by the long-term manipulation of DNA in the animals and the inclusion of DNA from non-dinosaurian species.MSRN
* March: A supposed representative of Masrani Global Corporation (whose name has been omitted from all records) makes a case for watering down the Gene Guard Act. Specifically, the prohibition of cloning and genetic engineering new species is asked to be removed in order to allow further medical research that would benefit humans, dinosaurs, and other animals. The UHCS allows the rollback of restrictions, but key members of the board were bribed by InGen to arrive at this decision.DPG Unbeknownst to anyone but a few, the representative was a corporate spy for Biosyn Genetics.DPW

He comes to her room to verbally attack her, but after Dearing’s roommate Regina makes a show of solidarity with her, Jackson avoids her on campus instead of harassing her further.EoC
* December: A secretive internship program for Jurassic World’s early stages is opened. Isobel James is among those selected for this classified operation. Wyatt, the son of a Masrani Global subsidiary board member, attempts to learn about the program from his father, who denies its existence; when his father leaves on business, he breaks into his office and records the names of the interns.EoC
* Before December 19: Darius Bowman is born to father Frederick Bowman.CC

**2004**

* Scientists report a mysterious and alarming drop in dinosaur populations on Isla Sorna. Speculation on the cause includes territorial disputes, disease, poaching, or behavior patterns. However, the true cause (which would not be revealed until 2015) is the sudden influx of new animals cloned by InGen illegally on the island in 1999, which strained the ecosystem more than it was capable of handling.MSRN,DPG,EoC
* Masrani Global Corporation begins shipping the surviving animals from Isla Sorna to Isla Nublar. The corporation is credited with saving the dinosaurs from death by ecological collapse, despite being covertly responsible for precipitating it.MSRN,DPG,EoC
* January 15: A group of interns arrives to monitor the arrival of the two *Brachiosaurus* Olive and Agnes to Isla Nublar, including Isobel “Izzie” James. Herbivores are now being returned to what will become Gyrosphere Valley. Natural water sources are expanded, and a calcium-boosting chemical substance is added to the water to ensure the health of their bones and teeth. It reacts with the igneous rock left over from the 1525 eruption of Mount Sibo, the resulting compound causing a mutation in indigenous cyanobacteria in the water. The cyanobacteria become incredibly acidic.EoC
* January 31: Isobel James discovers a swelling on the neck of the *Brachiosaurus* Olive. She reports this to the head veterinarian Savannah, who dismisses it due to her dislike of James.EoC
* February 1: James measures the swelling on Olive’s neck and finds that it has increased in size. Worrying that it is a tumor, she reports it to Savannah’s assistant Dr. Tim O’Donnell. The park’s veterinary staff prepare for the first-ever surgery on a de-extinct animal. Savannah attempts to reprimand James for circumventing her authority, but this is interrupted by Simon Masrani. James spends the rest of the day hiding near the other brachiosaur Agnes.EoC
* February 2: Olive’s supposed tumor is found to be only an abscess, and is successfully removed by Jurassic World paleoveterinarians along with all infected tissue in her neck.EoC
* February 3: Olive will recover from her surgery in a quarantine pen. The other *Brachiosaurus*, Agnes, is found to have a similar abscess on her neck. It is caught early enough that sugery is not needed; the brachiosaurs are put on heavy regimens of antibiotics.EoC
* March 1: ACU test-drives gyrospheres in the central valley. Isobel James retrieves plant and cyanobacteria samples from Sector C of the valley, testing them for acidity. She discovers the acidic qualities of the cyanobacteria, but does not relay the information to her superiors because she violated protocol to obtain the samples.EoC
* March 4: Last known entry in Izzie James’s journal. It contains the usual feed and waste logs for Agnes and Olive.EoC
* March 5: A severe storm strikes Isla Nublar, forcing the island to be evacuated. Olive the brachiosaur is threatened when an overloaded fuse box blows out and starts a fire; as she is still recovering from surgery, smoke inhalation could kill her. Izzie James refuses to evacuate, manually opening the paddock to free Olive, and the boat is forced to leave without her; she is eventually found to have crashed her jeep on the way to the dock and died of her injuries. In Boston, an obituary is printed for Isobel James, though it claims she died “Sunday morning.” March 4, 2004 was a Thursday, which is most likely an error due to the obituary itself being misinformation as the cause of James’s death was covered up. Simon Masrani believed that this is what James would have wanted, rather than risk a PR disaster and legal investigation slowing down the park’s development.EoC
* When rumors of the failed internship program surface online, Wyatt contacts some of the interns from his father’s list over the internet. Each of the supposed interns denies having ever been to Isla Nublar and claims to have interned at other companies, but Wyatt finds that all of these other companies are actually Masrani Global subsidiaries.EoC

* August: The interns arrive in Costa Rica, boarding a ferry and traveling to Isla Nublar. At this point, the only dinosaurs officially on the island are *Brachiosaurus*, *Parasaurolophus*, *Triceratops*, *Gallimimus*, juvenile *Ankylosaurus*, one *Tyrannosaurus*, *Dilophosaurus*, and *Compsognathus*. Most of these animals are contained, but the compies are still free-roaming on the island. The sixteenth *Triceratops* is introduced to its habitat while the interns observe.EoC
* August: A Starbucks is under construction on Main Street, along with the monorail and most other buildings in the area. The Innovation Center’s holoscape is fully-functional by this point. Henry Wu receives a particularly unusual amber specimen from the end of the Cretaceous period which contains multiple DNA profiles; he reluctantly allows the Bright Minds interns into the laboratory to observe it. At the time, the eight species intended to be present in Jurassic World on opening day have already been created, but there are many on the “most wanted” list, including *Baryonyx*. This indicates that in addition to discovering new species, Dr. Wu intends to refine already-created species using new DNA samples.EoC
* August: The interns have been on the island for two weeks and continue to monitor the dinosaurs. The gyrospheres are put to the valley to assist in their intelligent learning program, so that they can recognize hazardous terrain and protect their users. Pearl is suggested by the current head of ACU to require isolation due to her playful behavior around gyrospheres.EoC
* August: Interns Claire Dearing and Tanya Skye are assigned by Dr. Wu to monitor *Pteranodon longiceps masranii* eggs and administer antibiotics and steroids to the embryos. These are to be the first new breeds of animal created for Jurassic World.EoC
* August: Claire Dearing and three of her fellow interns develop a positive reinforcement program for Pearl the brachiosaur, discouraging her from playing with gyrospheres by giving her more appealing toys. By this time, the Skye twins have sent some of the tranquilizer darts in the mail to Mosby Health, and Victory Skye begins receiving treatment for her heart condition free of charge.EoC
* September: A female *Velociraptor antirrhopus nublarensis* is introduced to Isla Nublar, the first of many. While it is being kept in quarantine, Tanya and Eric Skye release it by mistake, causing the death of intern Justin Hendricks. The twins are apprehended and the raptor is euthanized. The FDA plans to cut funding for the Mosby Health medical trials, but at Claire Dearing’s behest, Simon Masrani steps in to fund the trial to completion and also pay for Victory Skye’s future education. Claire also tells him about information she found from Izzie James’s journal, and he gives her an explanation of who James was and how she died. Masrani invites Claire to stay at Jurassic World until opening day and also offers her a job opportunity in the future, which she accepts.EoC

**2009**

* February 10: One of the last video logs made by Charlotte Lockwood before her death. By now, Maisie is close to a year old. Charlotte has used a pathogen-borne gene modification to cure Maisie of their shared genetic disorder, but does not have the time to cure herself before she passes away. Sir Benjamin Lockwood and Iris Carroll create a story in which Charlotte died in a vehicular accident on June 31, 2008 to keep her research and Maisie a secret (human cloning is illegal in the state of California). Her celebration of life, according to Lockwood family records, was held at 9:00am on July 5 at St. Anne’s Church, but of course this never actually took place. Maisie’s existence is hidden from most people, and the select few who do know about her (but not Charlotte’s research) are taught that Maisie was cloned by Sir Benjamin in an act of grief at his daughter’s death. Only an extremely small number of people who Lockwood absolutely trusts know the real truth.FK,JWD
* April 9: A hybrid animal was hatched. Further information is restricted by Masrani Global.MSRN

* On or Before May 15: A female *Carnotaurus* hatches on Isla Nublar.DPG
* With the announcement of the first official *Carnotaurus* destined for Jurassic World, the genetic engineering controversy is stirred up again. At a public lecture, a man named Jack asks Dr. Ian Malcolm whether he thinks genetic engineering should be banned, and Malcolm states that doing so would be impossible. Another audience member, computational genomicist Dr. Amelia Everett, converses with Dr. Malcolm about his book and whether it was known that Jurassic Park would fail; Malcolm states that he didn’t “know” this, just merely predicted it and saw his prediction proven accurate. He goes on to claim that concepts like fate and karma are explanations to instill a sense of meaning into a universe that is extremely difficult to predict. They end with the final question: whether the course of the future can be corrected.JWA
* June 6: Simon Masrani states that he believes Henry Wu has an answer as to where genetic engineering will go next.MSRN
* Eventually it becomes clear that E750, belonging to the entirely new genus and species *Scorpios rex*, is unfit for the park due to its ghastly appearance and unpredictably violent behavior. It is also highly venomous; Wu’s staff develops an antivenom. Following an incident in which the specimen attacked and nearly killed Wu after breaching containment, Masrani demands its destruction. Wu does not comply; he keeps it preserved in cryonic stasis, alive but frozen solid, to use it for later research and determine what went wrong. Only Wu’s top-ranking staff know about this; the hybrid’s tank is kept secret by being held in a wing of the field genetics lab that is incorrectly marked as under construction. His efforts to build a park-ready hybrid theropod resume with new tactics.CC

	+ Because 2012 was a leap year, the 176th day of the year was June 24. Since IBRIS began in 2012, this is the earliest day on which this training session could have taken place. Blue and her sisters were about eight weeks old at this point in time, while the project itself was in its twenty-fifth week.FK
* July 10: A project review meeting for an NMS project is held, with Dr. Wu and computational genomicist Dr. Amelia Everett in attendance. Earlier this week, Dr. Everett and her superior Dr. Svetlanda Mashir completed mapping the *Velociraptor* genome. The project is now proceeding with protein isolation and live trials; a specimen was recently hatched with genetic alterations resulting in elevated mesotocin levels. A/B testing is underway, and the specimen is responding well to its conditioning. Wu promotes Everett due to her success; she now reports directly to him, with Dr. Mashir out of the loop.JWA

* September 13: An email reply timestamped 19:35 from Jurassic World employee Carm Ricci to H. de Vries covers some new upcoming technologies in development at Masrani Global. The main focus is the Virtual Interface Assist, a kind of universal wrist-mounted remote that will permit employees to access many technologies remotely. Simon Masrani wants to roll these out to all his employees soon; a prototype has already been produced at the NMS Genetics Centre. One major criticism of the technology is that it enables one-click email access which allows all employees to see one another’s emails (therefore eliminating privacy). It is also highly expensive, and presents a security issue since anyone can access any terminal remotely at any time. Due to the issues surrounding the device, it falls into development limbo and is never cleared for production.JWA

* July 7: A review of the NMS behavioral genetics program is held between Dr. Wu and Dr. Everett. They discuss Simon Masrani’s presence at the recent incubation and the fact that Dr. Everett was not introduced, despite her exceptional performance working on non-coding identifiers. She is angry with Wu for leaving her anonymous.JWA
* August: A hurricane in the East Pacific severely damages Masrani Oil’s Platform L-12, causing three of the legs to collapse and completely removing the derrick. Internal damage poses extreme threat to the rig’s crew, though no deaths are reported. A total of $12.5 million dollars in damage are caused.MSRN
* October: Repairs begin on Platform L-12. Sixteen mooring lines will be installed to replace the original twelve, and the new lines are said to b 50% stronger than the old ones. Plans are in place to, five years from now, replace L-12 with a semisubmersible platform.MSRN

**2015**

* January: Simon Masrani announces a $225 million boost to InGen funding, which will be distributed across the course of the next three years. Much of this will go to Security. He also publicly reveals *Indominus rex*, though most members of the public are not privy to the animal’s name or appearance. The *Indominus* is explicitly named and described on Masrani’s corporate blog and the Jurassic World website, but these appear to be limited-access sites since most of the public only knows that Jurassic World will be bringing a new theropod into the park by the end of the year.

* June 15: Aiden Foster sends E. Durand to the secure warehouse, but does not give him the access code, instead claiming that he will discover it along the way. Durand emails Freya Jostad at 9:48 to ask her, suspecting that he is being hazed because he is new to the company. Similarly, Jostad does not give him the code, telling him he will “figure” it out by letting his imagination “soar.”JWA
* July: Intended date for the opening of the *Indominus* exhibit.MSRN By this time, the older of the two animals had cannibalized the younger. Due to the creature growing larger than expected, her exhibition was delayed until January of next year and the holding paddock had to be expanded. The animal also began to anticipate where her food would be delivered and almost tore off a worker’s arm during feeding time; Claire Dearing made the executive decision to feed it by crane instead to avoid similar incidents.JW
* August 3: A monthly update is sent to the NMS staff by T. Fischer timestamped 17:12 regarding the altered raptors’ behavior. They have found that when raptors focus on their target, their peripheral awareness diminishes. These raptors also have a poor ability to detect concealed visual stimuli, unless their attention is drawn to it or the stimulus is directly ahead of them. Finally, the raptors have highly acute hearing, responding to and quickly locating any and all sounds within range.JWA

The remaining campers tour Dr. Wu’s field genetics laboratory in Sector 5, where they witness the female *Ankylosaurus* Bumpy hatch three weeks premature. Brooklynn and Sammy both separately investigate the lab for different reasons; Brooklynn is caught by Wu and the campers are kicked out of the lab. At the same time, Kenji offers Darius a view into the off-limits *Carnotaurus* paddock, where they have a run-in with one of the male carnotaurs which they nickname Toro. During the night, Sammy delivers a USB flash drive to a drone, which smuggles the data to Mantah Corp Island. A facility has been built there, almost completely through automation, at the order of Daniel Kon without the approval of the Board of Directors. Many dinosaurs and DNA samples have been smuggled to the facility; Sammy is the latest of many corporate spies. The facility is administered by Kash D. Langford, one of exceedingly few employees to know about the facility at all.CC
* December 21: Dr. Ellie Sattler posts a new column about microfossils online.CC
* December 21: The campers are given a tour of the Sector 5 herd using gyrospheres. A thunderstorm cuts the tour short and the counselors move to assist the Rangers. Lightning spooks one of the *Sinoceratops*, and the campers attempt to herd it back but cause a stampede; in the process the gyrosphere driven by Darius and Brooklynn lands in a deep mud pit and sinks. The other campers utilize a *Sinoceratops* to drag the sphere to safety, and Sammy takes a skin sample from the animal while no one is watching. While editing a video of the events, Brooklynn notices Sammy taking the skin sample in the background.CC
* An incident occurs in which Jeanie escapes Facility 4 and enters Gyrosphere Valley, harassing herbivorous dinosaurs and two tourists in a gyrosphere. The incident is resovled by Jeanie’s handlers and ACU under Kurt Reed.JWL
* December 22 through the rest of the year: See 2015-16 Isla Nublar Incident.MSRN,JW,CC,JWL
* Late December: Masrani Global COO Richard Wiesner sends an urgent memo throughout the corporation as he and the other remaining leaders attempt damage control after the incident. An emergency board meeting is held.MSRN
* December 22: Masrani Global’s NASDAQ share price index is $158.12\* -3.36 ⇓ 2.08%.MSRN
* December 23: An email from A. Onsario to S. Harris timestamped 11:21 arrives; it was probably sent before the evacuation and was delayed due to technical issues during the incident and shutdown. The email is a notice that file compression has rendered the text on the schematic for the NMS power plant illegible. This is the third time Onsario has requested the schematic from Harris, and the maintenance team is said to be falling behind.JWA
* December 24: Date at which Simon Masrani would have obtained his helicopter pilot’s license.JW
* Late December: Jeanie reproduces through parthenogenesis, laying two eggs without a mate.JWL
* Daniel Kon is promoted to President of Mantah Corp. after the fall of Jurassic World. He now has far more power for overseeing the secret facility on Mantah Corp Island.CC
* Late December: Following the incident, Claire travels with Owen Grady, but the two eventually end their relationship and go separate ways. After this, she briefly moves back to Wisconsin to stay with the Mitchells. Eventually she moves out into an apartment on her own in San Francisco.EoC,FK
* Late December: Claire Dearing speaks at a public testimonial regarding the incident at Jurassic World. She acknowledges that fallout from the disaster will spark outrage, but that this anger should not be directed at the animals. She speaks out against attempts at weaponizing the dinosaurs as InGen Security attempted. Henry Wu and InGen are under investigation for bioethical misconduct, but as Wu is nowhere to be found, he cannot represent himself. During the trial, a paper trail is uncovered leading to the discovery of corruption in the 2003 rollback of Gene Guard Act regulations. It is discovered that higher-up InGen members bribed the officials behind the rollback. An anonymous hacker under the username “JUR@55!\_H@K3R” also leaks documents pertaining to the illegal creation of species prior to the rollback, finally revealing the real reason behind the ecological collapse on Isla Sorna in the early 2000s. Many of the responsible members of Masrani Global who engaged in corrupt practices are tracked down and arrested.DPG
* December 27: Email from A. Newman to T. Newman timestamped 12:03 reaches the NMS Centre, including a simple note from their son George. It also includes an access code for the elevator to the geothermal plant.JWA
	+ In the actual film canon, this email could not have been sent any later than December 22.CC
* December 28: The evacuation notice from Park Management reaches the NMS Centre at 16:59. A message between S. Harris and Dr. Everett regarding the evacuation and backing up the analysis system is timestamped 17:08. Another message, this one a conversation between Dr. Horn and Hendrick de Vries regarding the evacuation and the fate of hatchlings in the NMS nursery, is timestamped 17:26.JWA
	+ In the actual film canon, this email could only have been sent on December 22.CC
* With the fall of Jurassic World, Biosyn Genetics under Lewis Dodgson begins revamping its mining facility in Biosyn Valley to instead function as a research and development headquarters coupled with a de-extinct animal sanctuary. The entire valley area is made Biosyn property, likely displacing its residents. The Vajont Dam is acquired by Biosyn, becoming the only dam of its size not managed by the Italian government. Dodgson has Ramsay Cole in mind as his second-in-command.JWD

**2016**

* Continuing from last year until June: See 2015-16 Isla Nublar Incident.CC
* Mantah Corp breeds the hybrid *Spinoceratops* by modifying *Sinoceratops* DNA with *Spinosaurus* genes.CC
* March: Kurt Reed and an InGen Security detachment land on Isla Nublar to covertly capture Jeanie. Her nest is discovered, but the eggs are left behind as they are deemed unnecessary to the mission and therefore a waste of resources to keep.JWL
* March: The United States Congress opens up inquiries into bioethical misconduct performed by InGen and Dr. Henry Wu. Congress also opens up an inquiry as to the possible violation of the Gene Guard Act around this time. Some employees of Masrani Global Corporation step forward to present proof of corrupt practices. Wu’s laboratory is raided and all his assets are seized; he is also stripped of his credentials. He remains hidden from the authorities with the help of Eli Mills.DPG,FK

* April: A female *Brachiosaurus* hatches at the Mantah Corp research facility; her DNA originated from an Isla Sorna specimen. This is the dinosaur which will later be named Firecracker.CC
* June: See June 2016 Isla Nublar Incident.CC,FK
* June: Through their mutual contact Lana Molina, Lewis Dodgson and Daniel Kon enter into negotiations for Biosyn to purchase V-55 neural interface technology and dinosaur assets from Mantah Corp.CC
* June: See June 2016 Mantah Corp Island Incident.CC
* Dr. Mae Turner contacts American authorities, who arrest Daniel Kon upon his arrival to the United States. He is fired and imprisoned for embezzlement, but tells no one about Mantah Corp Island. The campers return as well, reuniting with their families; they are dubbed the “Nublar Six” by the news media. Kenji, and the others, aid Dr. Turner in maintaining Mantah Corp Island as a hidden research facility and sanctuary.CC
* Though Dodgson does not receive the dinosaurs he purchased from Mantah Corp, he has obtained DNA samples and V-55 chips, so he takes the partial loss and uses what he did manage to acquire to start building Biosyn’s new facility.CC
* Using the recovered DNA sample, Wu is able to complete the miniaturized version of *Indominus* which he and Hoskins had been planning. It is accomplished by increasing the proportion of *Velociraptor* DNA incorporated into the genome, as well as adding genes from several new modern animals. The resultant hybrid genus is called *Indoraptor*.Guide,FK
* *Viavenator* is described. InGen had already discovered this genus by the early 2010s.FK
* November 18: DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office holds a Proposers Day for its Insect Allies program, which suggests the use of plant viruses to genetically modify crops using agricultural insects as vectors.46 This will be followed by similar Biosyn research in the coming years.JWD

**2017**

* Year by which Masrani Energy had hoped to mass-produce the first FAA-approved ethanol-blended airplane fuel.MSRN
* February: A shift in the Middle America Trench subduction zone opens fissures underneath Isla Nublar, causing Mount Sibo to become active for the first time since 1525. Plant life and other biological matter begins to combust in the region near the mountain as the temperature rises. The Costa Rican Institute for Volcanology (CRIV) reports that there is no threat to the island. The volcanic status level (VSL) of Mount Sibo currently is set at Magnitude 1.DPG
* March: Claire Dearing founds the Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG) in San Francisco’s Mission District. Around thirty volunteers have already joined, including Zia Rodriguez and former Jurassic World IT member Franklin Webb. Marches have been organized and Claire has contacted Congress in support of dinosaur rights. One of the marches takes place outside Masrani Global offices, demanding that action be taken to provide veterinary services to Isla Nublar; corporate officials state that they lack the resources.DPG
* Dennis and Mariana, parents to Kadasha and Mateo respectively, are married. They will have a son together within a year or so.BBR
* May: The Martel excavation concludes.MSRN
* June: Mount Sibo’s VSL is set to Magnitude 2.DPG
* A Biosyn vessel in the Gulf of Fernandez, posing as a tourist ship, is apprehended by the U.S. Coast Guard for trespassing. Biosyn agents pay off the captain of the Coast Guard ship and his crew; the official cover story is that the Coast Guard heroically aided a civilian vessel in distress. Biosyn threatens legal action against other parties that threaten to reveal their espionage. The ship was likely carrying specimens acquired from Isla Sorna which had been hidden away by Masrani Global, including a mated pair of *Tyrannosaurus* known to have lived in Biosyn Valley as part of its first generation.DPW
* September: A helicopter flies illegally over Isla Nublar, approaching Mount Sibo. The passengers witness lava actively roiling within the mountain’s crater and report it to the authorities. The CRIV investigates using harmonic tremor readings, satellite thermal scans, and seismic equipment to determine that Mount Sibo is becoming more active. High-energy particle scans of the crust under the island reveal previously unknown high-pressure magma chambers. If the chambers were to be breached, a catastrophic eruption could occur, burning the entire island. The DPG begins planning a mission to evacuate the dinosaurs to safety.DPG
* October 5: Mount Sibo’s VSL is set to Magnitude 3.DPG
* December 8: The DPG website goes live.DPG
* December 21: Claire Dearing sends an email to the DPG’s followers, inviting them to support the cause further. The Costa Rican Department of Biological Preserves and local lifeguards are already willing to volunteer for the mission.DPG

**2018**

* Original planned date for the opening of “Treetop Gazers,” a Jurassic World attraction that would have put *Brachiosaurus* on display.MSRN
* January: The Costa Rican government pulls all remaining research teams and technology from the area near Isla Nublar as the eruption appears to be getting closer. It is predicted to occur on June 22 based on current data. Masrani Global has still made no effort to assist.DPG
* February 4: The DPG website is updated with content written by Claire Dearing, Franklin Webb, and Zia Rodriguez. Franklin Webb hacks the Jurassic World website, using it to further spread public awareness of the danger posed to Isla Nublar. By this time, dozens of dinosaur species have become extinct on the island, including *Metriacanthosaurus* and *Edmontosaurus*. The *Mosasaurus* is reported missing.Web,DPG
	+ In the weeks following the hack of the Jurassic World site, all references to the mosasaur having escaped were scrubbed from the site, and its status was changed from “Missing” to “Endangered.” Later additions to the website would acknowledge that its status was unknown, despite avoiding directly stating that its location was also unknown.Web

* June 9: Extinction Now! opens a website and starts a Twitter account to counteract the DPG. On the same day, the DPG released a video debunking some of the beliefs against saving the dinosaurs; the creation of Extinction Now! social media immediately afterward is likely not a coincidence. The DPG also posted thanking its contributors for their help, which led to the first public confrontation between the DPG and Extinction Now! social media accounts.DPG
* June 10: Increased activity is reported in and around Mount Sibo.DPG
* June 11: Ross S. of the DPG writes an article, “Investigation: The Old Park.” It finally discloses details to the public about the 1993 incident which had been hidden or skewed by InGen.DPG
* June 18: Emma E. of the DPG writes an article titled “The Sibo Effect” about the ecological effects Mount Sibo is having on the island. Based on scientific investigation by the DPG and the Phillane Institute of Volcanology, the eruption (initially predicted to occur the 22nd) could take place any time between two days and two months from today.DPG

* June 25: The United States Emergency Broadcast System issues a nationwide emergency alert. Rebecca Ryan’s husband, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee in northern California, witnesses a territorial conflict between a *Triceratops* and an *Ankylosaurus* while responding to a call from the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary. The *Tyrannosaurus* is found to have broken into the zoo, engaging in a territorial display against the zoo’s pride of lions. Zookeepers usher the cats and visitors to safety while local and national authorities herd the tyrannosaur into a nearby ravine outside the zoo; it flees into the pine forests nearby with the authorities in pursuit.FK,MC,DPW
	+ A calendar seen in the *Jurassic World* motion comic originally established this event place during a month that began on a Sunday; this placed it in July. It is said to be on a weekday, later in the week. However, the Dinotracker site has since established the date as Monday, June 25.MC

* September 10: Planned date for a march on Capitol Hill carried out by DINO and the DPG to attempt to gain support from the US government to save Isla Nublar. The march would start at 6am on the corner of 12th Street SW. As Mount Sibo had already erupted by this time, it is unlikely that the march took place.DPG
* December 24: Internal message sent to Biosyn legal counsel regarding the opportunity to collect de-extinct animals from the wild with government approval, the necessity of purging evidence of prior wrongdoing from Biosyn archives, the importance of tracking down and potentially recruiting Henry Wu while keeping him in the dark about Biosyn’s prior interference, and a summary of the 2017 encounter with the U.S. Coast Guard. Wu is considered an asset for furthering Hexapod Allies, a secret Biosyn project intended to use hybrid locusts to revolutionize agribusiness.DPW,JWD

**2019**

* January: The Department of Prehistoric Wildlife is formed.DPW
* *Moros* is described.

* Hexapod Allies moves on to its next phase: releasing genetically-modified locusts into the American Midwest. This at first starts with small swarms of a few hundred, which are supposed to die off without breeding excessively. However, since they cannot eat Biosyn engineered crops (a safeguard to protect profits), they eat everything else, and their genetic modifications have made them longer-lived and more prolific than anticipated. The swarms grow rapidly in size and consume vast amounts of cropland. Because they affect independent farmers first, the media ignores them for now.JWD

* A pair of *Quetzalcoatlus* begin nesting on the One World Trade Center in New York City, leading to debate among New Yorkers on whether to allow the animals to stay. For now, the controversial decision to preserve the pterosaur habitat remains in place.JWD
* Rainn Delacourt poaches *Parasaurolophus* from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, as their powdered bones are worth a fortune on the black market as a supposed folk cure. Fish and Wildlife works to safely relocate the animals and discourage poaching; Owen Grady finds work with them.JWD
* Realizing the hybrid locusts are stronger, longer-lived, and breeding more prolifically than anticipated, Henry Wu starts searching for a way to end the plague. Dodgson supports his efforts, not wanting to have the destruction traced back to Biosyn and himself. Referencing video logs recovered from the Lockwood estate, Wu discovers that Charlotte Lockwood created Maisie and used a viral vector vaccine to cure a fatal genetic disorder in Maisie before passing away herself. Wu tries to apply these techniques to the locust swarm superorganisms, but he fails. To further his research, he requests that Dodgson bring him Maisie and any parthenote offspring Blue has produced. By cross-referencing their genomes, he hopes to find the modified parts of Maisie’s DNA and complete the puzzle. Information about Maisie’s existence leaks to the media, probably through Dodgson, who hires his trusted broker Soyona Santos to capture their targets. Santos hires Carolyn O’Hara and Rainn Delacourt to do the job.JWD

* Claire Dearing and her remaining DPG allies film evidence of de-extinct animal breeding and abuse at the Saw Ridge Cattle Company in Nevada, rescuing a sickly juvenile *Nasutoceratops* there. They narrowly escape capture by the ranch’s owners. The evidence is submitted anonymously to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; after this, Rodriguez and Webb convince Dearing that this is no longer the best way to enact change.JWD
* Dr. Sattler obtains a live giant locust from the Peréz ranch in West Texas, providing her with a genetic sample that she studies.

* Delacourt tracks Owen Grady back to his cabin after observing Blue and Beta in the area. His hunters have trapped the area near Blue’s nest, but O’Hara pressures him not to finish the job until Maisie is captured too: he has spotted her at Grady’s residence.JWD
* Maisie encounters Beta and Blue, prompting Grady to try and locate the nest. Maisie, put out at not being allowed to come, storms off toward town. Beta is captured by Delacourt’s hunters, and soon Delacourt aids Carolyn O’Hara in kidnapping Maisie. Grady witnesses these events but cannot stop them in time. Blue, enraged, wounds him. Grady vows to rescue both Beta and Maisie. He and Dearing head across the state in the hopes of getting help from Franklin Webb, who now works in the CIA Dangerous Species Division. Meanwhile, Delacourt prepares Beta for transport to Valletta for further transport to Biosyn, while O’Hara does the same with Maisie separately.JWD
* Webb identifies Delacourt for Dearing and Grady, getting them quietly to Malta where they will meet with Barry Sembène. At this time, Sembène is working as a deep-cover anti-poaching agent for French intelligence. Delacourt has a sale to make in the underground market tomorrow, and both the French and American intelligence communities are preparing a sting; when they have him, they will get Maisie’s location.JWD
