This text will play over the game's graphical opening sequence. It begins dispassionately, like a history lecture, but the final phrase has a sudden vehemence – something bitter from Hammond's past.
[Anne: From the writings of John Hammond, founder and chief executive of the InGen Corporation.]
HAMMOND001MysteryCode: Select all
By 1989, International Genetic Technologies had succeeded in their design, to genetically recreate the dinosaurs. It was an unprecedented accomplishment, the pinnacle of 20th-century science, a work to rank with the work of Galileo, or Einstein But it was not all so easy or so simple as it appeared. One seldom hears the true history of such events - what happened at the place where the world changed. How it began, what were the reasons, what was the cost.
These passages should be spoken with some seriousness – Hammond is introducing a story of importance – in a sense, he is giving testimony, speaking for the record.
HAMMOND002Code: Select all
My name is John Parker Hammond. I was born on March 14, 1928.
HAMMOND003HAMMOND004Code: Select all
What follows is a record of certain events in which I took part, between the years 1980 and 1997, on an island I will call Site B.
Almost like a fragment of ghostly voice, somewhere on the beachCode: Select all
Site B was not to be a theme park, but a research station. This was where we did the real work.
HAMMOND005HAMMOND006Code: Select all
…the greatest discovery of the 20th century…

HAMMOND010Code: Select all
The technology, the real trick of it, is still in there. In a darkened room, in an empty building with a dirty floor, it waits. The flashpoint, the origin of Jurassic park.
HAMMOND011Code: Select all
The main laboratory and administrative buildings. This was where we made our discovery, where the real magic trick happened. When they come to dig up our secrets, they will come here.
The story of InGen
This set of lines lays out, in fragments, the history of InGen, and needs a brisk delivery, a sense of Hammond's excitement and pride at his accomplishments.
HAMMOND012Code: Select all
An idea brought me awake one morning in New York. I almost didn't write it down
HAMMOND013Code: Select all
Sunlight angled down through the dusty air of Norman's office. I leaned against a solid oak table as I outlined my plans for International Genetic Technologies.
HAMMOND014Code: Select all
It was the flowering of an ambition born 50 years ago – 50 years of struggle come to this.
HAMMOND015Code: Select all
Isla Sorna. Costa Rica lay to the east, a quiet neighbor. To the west, open water and the shipping lanes of the Pacific.
HAMMOND016HAMMOND017Code: Select all
The southern beach looked out over trackless ocean. Down past Peru, all the way to Antarctica.

A few weeks after we first landed, we went to the summit to put up a crude satellite link.
HAMMOND018HAMMOND019Code: Select all
We went up by helicopter. Young technicians scrambled to set up the dish as the wind howled. High-speed uplink…state of the art.
Code: Select all
If we succeeded, the InGen technology would be historic. We were planning to conquer time's power over life, its power to extinguish and erase. It would change all of our lives, as profoundly, as irrevocably as the atomic bomb.
HAMMOND020In control room, dealing with Nedry's sabotaged computerCode: Select all
1982. Robert Muldoon I already knew. Dennis Nedry I found in Cambridge – despite his idiosyncracies, he was years ahead of his competition.
HAMMOND021Henry Wu's houseCode: Select all
Dennis fancied himself quite the hacker. He had his own locks for his door. His office decorations were quite outside company regulations

In a quiet, locked room, the extinction of species, the history of life on earth is being methodically reversed.
HAMMOND026Code: Select all
The first task was genetic recovery — acquiring Jurassic or Cretaceous amber, extracting preserved DNA, and reassembling the completed sequences. "Bringing it up the well," we called it.

I spared no expense, permitted no failures.
HAMMOND028Code: Select all
By 1985 we held 13 new patents.
HAMMOND029Code: Select all
I began to have my first inkling of the seriousness of our work – how deep the well was. This was life from 65 or 100 million years before mankind.
HAMMOND030Code: Select all
November 1985. Test fertilization of an artificial ovum. My hands shook as I held the tiny eye dropper. One drop, two drops. There! The genie was out of the bottle.

The raptor took shape inside its egg. I watched it on the ultrasound monitor. It looked like a ghost, or a puff of smoke.
Near Town Wall
HAMMOND032Code: Select all
We released the first raptor on April 22, 1986. It wandered back and forth near the wall for four minutes and twenty-two seconds, before hearing a noise which drew it further off into the brush.
HAMMOND033Code: Select all
In the jungle, the forest, and the mountain three raptor tribes staked out territory. Albertosaurs and the seven T-rexes chose their dominions. Uneasy borders drawn around forests, ridges, and ponds.
HAMMOND034HAMMOND035Code: Select all
Not all the original species survived. In the end, only a few adjusted to the new world. These became dominant.

A third tribe of raptors took the mountain for their territory. A leaner, tougher breed, quick, living on birds and tiny lizards.
HAMMOND036Code: Select all
We tagged the most dangerous animals with radio collars that transmitted a warning signal. Workmen carried little boxes that played a tone when a tagged animal came near…at which point the workers would panic and flee in terror.

In May the rains began. The smell of the jungle was everywhere.
Rusting metal rails and wood piled by the side of the tracks
HAMMOND058Code: Select all

HAMMOND067Stepping into ForestCode: Select all
On the plain the heat was extraordinary, like a solid wall.
HAMMOND068Code: Select all
When I was little I dreamed of a time when the entire world was covered by an ancient first-growth forest. Great hunters stalked in the cool darkness, among silent, huge columnar trees - oaks, and sequoias.
A point by the roadside
HAMMOND069Code: Select all
I stepped out of the jeep and stretched my legs. The two guards attended to the wheel, and just for an instant I stood alone, unprotected in the Jurassic wilderness. I felt the air currents around me, heard a single tree rustle.

Diary Entries
These lines are excerpts from a diary Hammond kept in his mid-twenties, and they have a vivid directness that contrasts starkly with all the rest of the text. Although they have an adolescent, self-indulgent quality, they should reflect an emotional pain that is sincerely felt. As with all the text, they should be pronounced simply, with a natural and understated feel.

Lyrical Epiphany
These passages form a monologue. It begins conversationally, Hammond describing his legal downfall following the events of Jurassic Park. When he is asked to explain his actions, there is a break, and what comes to mind is the beauty of the woman he lost. He recalls it, then, describes the way in which his love for her drove him into his solitary ambition. The passage at the end should be spoken as if in a dream or trance. There is a strange, cold wonder to the realization.

Ozymandias
Code: Select all
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said – "two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert…. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away."
And thanks to tatu for this.
