Act One: Petting we go
Visiting Trueno, the Gorkon crew has to determine the safety of the park the company BetaGen Inc. has established on the asteroid. For this reason, four teams have beamed down to the planet. Each team exploring and being in awe with the amazing work the BetaGen Inc. has delivered in reviving creatures that were extinct for millions of years.
- At the Dino Petting Experience
- Team: (Genkos Adea), Pholin Duyzer, Ayiana Sevo, Bavo Miri
- Visiting the BetaGen Science Complex
- Exploring the Aquatic Exhibits
- Driving through the Herbivore Paddocks
- Gorkon: Searching for the Vikartindur
- Team: Caedan Nkai, Vorin, Lojah Oded
Entering the main building of the BetaGen Science Complex, the group consisting of Samira Neathler, Arlo Thornton, Loxley wearing a cap with the BetaGen logo and the always joyous Corliss Fortune were greeted by a holographic projection giving them a brief explanation of what was being done in the complex, yet in essence it was just another commercial for the BetaGen Inc. Being late, the leader of the science team, doctor Bertrand Hankins led them to the dome above that gave them an overview of the green, lush environment outside.
The next part in the tour, the slim doctor took them to the primary lab where they were given a demonstration of how the Reclassifier[1], a machine that stripped DNA, worked. Next on there tour they ended up in the Incubation Room, where they observed the hatching of a Pteranodon, later named Kylie[2].
The sightseeing tour was cut short, when a BetaGen employee Zhad, came to warn Doctor Hankins that something was wrong with the one-day old Pratloraunus. Which allowed the group to unexpectedly visit the Neonatal Unit.
