Dino Crisis: Stranded Through Time

In the year 2009 it was discovered by the United States Secret Operational Raid Team (S.O.R.T) that a scientist known as Dr Edward Kirk was the head of a research Project for the Borginian Republic, the research was on what Dr Kirk called “Third Energy”. Dr Kirk himself was supposedly killed in 2006 in a laboratory accident soon after the United States cut his funding due to the lack of viable results from his research.

 

It had been discovered from the S.O.R.T Operative that had been infiltrating Ibis Island that his research was bearing some fruit, although noted that Third Energy was still very unstable and is based around forms of time disruption and if the necessary safety precautions weren't taken a time disruption could occur and did.

 

S.O.R.T had been ordered to send a team of four to infiltrate the island, recover Dr Kirk and any needed research for him to continue the project in the United States and extract S.O.R.T Operative named Tom to conclude the operation. As the team landed on the island it had been reduced to three as the Operative Cooper had stopped communicating with the rest of the team and it was soon discovered that the security staff of the Island had been killed. As the team infiltrated the Island they soon discovered that several extinct species of Dinosaur were on the island, confused the team continued to seek out Dr Kirk as they had no communication with their superiors due to Operative Cooper having the long ranged radio.

 

In the end Dr Kirk was recovered the team leader was wounded but survived and the remainder of the team got off the island with the exception of Cooper and Tom who were later declared KIA. With Dr Kirk secured the United States decided that it was still worth exploiting his research and built a research facility, military base and city in an area of the Mid West of the United States to continue Third Energy Research, protect the facility and house scientists and their families along with military staff. In early 2010 the precautions for a Third Energy test were once again not taken, this time instead of transporting pieces of time to the present it sent the Third Energy Research Facility, a Military Base and Edward City through time. Immediately after the events the Time Gate Project was funded by the United States to send a rescue team through time to recover survivors and secure the research once more and they are successful in creating the Time Gate and send the team in May 10th of the year 2010.

 

However in this time the stranded survivors of the incident were stuck for nineteen years the events of this story will be in those nineteen years before the Rescue Team arrived to attempt to rescue the survivors. This story is about characters from the Military Base, Research Facility and the inhabitants of Edward City in their struggle for survival against prehistoric monsters known as Dinosaurs. It has been three years since the incident occurred and travel network  between the three key points and have established various outposts within the region. Patrol boats transport supplies and materials from Edward City to the Military Base and Research Facility. However recently the outposts have suffered attacks from dinosaurs since they were first sighted mere months before the events of this story. Colonel Maison commands the military base and has martial law declared in Edward City. The Soldiers and Police Officers keep all supplies rationed and keep the farms outside of the city guarded from both human and dinosaur alike. Criminal elements in Edward City have established and underground smuggling ring and currencies are still effective for trading for now.

 

Engineers and craftsmen from the city have been conscripted by the Military to maintain the key facilities. Makeshift defenses are put up around outposts, due to the relative peace around the region for three years the outposts are fully constructed and have been fairly well maintained although now the Engineering teams are unable to freely travel as they once did and must travel in large groups guarded by soldiers or military police.

 

Known Dinosaur Species within the period of time the region was transported to

 

Utahraptor/Achillobator: Two specimen often mistakenly called the Velociraptor due to common popular culture and films often taking the name Velociraptor and matching it up to larger dinosaurs. The Utahraptor and Achillobator are the common pack hunting predator around in the time the Third Energy Incident sent the small region in the Mid West. The Utahraptor is slightly taller than the Achillobator however though shorter in overall length. They were first spotted after three years of being stranded and are the main enemy of the Soldiers who protect the three key positions of the Region that were transported through time.

 

Compsognathus: The Compsognathus or commonly referred to as “Compies” are a smaller scavenger, it is evident that it evolved into birds as it has a magpie like attraction to shiny objects such as keys, coins and other valuables. Although not a threat the survivors consider them a pest to be exterminated when possible. Although the scientists have captured some so they may conduct research on them.

 

Oviraptor: The Oviraptor meaning “Egg Thief” is a small raptor like dinosaur that are dangerous in large numbers. It has been discovered that they can spit poison it is unknown if this is a new evolutionary trait for the dinosaur or if this is a localized species of the Oviraptor that has developed this natural ability. They mostly scavenge but do attempt to attack groups if they’re own numbers are large enough. They are easily dispatched however, a handgun shot can stop one and keep it down to bleed out.

 

Allosaurus: The Allosaurus is a large predator spotted around the Jungles that are in between the Base, Research Facility and City. It is odd that the creature is here due to the fact it is from a different time period than the other dinosaurs, it is commonly accepted that these dinosaurs may have themselves been accidently transported in time to the Cretaceous period from the Jurassic Period. They have a soft underbelly that is vulnerable to larger small arms and explosive weaponry and can be taken down by an individual skilled enough.

 

Pteranodon: The Winged Reptile is seen often flying over the lakes, rivers and the Ocean. Often feeding on fish due to the shape of its beak it must go for prey it can easily swallow. However they are territorial and attack humans on sight. They are often preyed upon by the long necked sea creature known as the Plesiosaur.

 

Plesiosaur: A large sea creature it dominates the local underwater food chain. Feeding on fish and smaller sea creatures they are also known to attack humans in their paths. However they are vulnerable to gunfire on the surface, however underwater they are deadly and can rip through any diving suit.

 

Mosasaurus: The Mosasaurus is another deadly sea creature, however they only breach the surface to breathe keeping them a danger to only divers and underwater engineers. The bite force of this creature is enough to rip through even the toughest diving suits.

 

Inostrancevia: The Inostrancevia like inhabit warmer area’s in the region such as volcanic caves. Though they are rarely spotted in the region due to the lack of an active volcano, though have been spotted migrated through the region to another. They are herbivores and only attack those entering their territory.

 

Triceratops: The large herbivore has been found in herds around the region. They aren’t inherently aggressive but will attack when felt threatened, it is advised you stay away from these creatures as they’re charge can kill even the largest dinosaurs yet alone humans. They travel in herds and are fiercely protective of their young.

 

Tyrannosaurusrex: The Apex Predator of the region, several have been spotted in the region though they have a tendency to stay away from the larger human inhabited regions due to the large ordnance that has been used on the smaller creatures, although according to what few facts we have about dinosaurs they appear to be smarter than originally thought and appear to actively hunt individuals that have escaped from them before.

Character Archetypes

 

Soldiers: From the near by military base these men make up the bulk of the defence forces for Edward City, The Third Energy Research Facility and the Military Base along with various outposts. They are focused on defending the Key Facilities from the Dinosaurs although they have engaged in fire fights against criminal elements found in the jungles who are smuggling supplies for a good price.

 

Police Officers/Military Police: The Police of Edward City are under the command of their Chief who answers to Colonel Maison and the Military Officers. They are focused on keeping the peace within Edward City. They don’t often venture far out of the city save for the rural area’s that were also transported keeping the farmlands protected so the populace is continually fed. They are bogged down attempting to stop the smuggling rings within Edward City as the local street gangs united into one syndicate.

 

Scientists/Engineers: The Scientists and Engineers of the Research Facility and Edward City are often tasked with maintaining the facilities and attempting to create their own Time Gate as it has already been three years and no rescue team has come. They are protected and valued by the Military Staff with the Soldiers and Police keeping top priority in the protection of them as without the Scientists there is no hope for returning and without the Engineers there’s no one to maintain the facilities and the defences of the Key Facilities

 

.

Civilians/Criminals: The Civilians and Criminals are out to survive the crisis. The Civilians are comprised of people of many occupations such as doctors, nurses, craftsmen etc. However among those deemed civilian are the Criminal Element that are loose within Edward City. Basic supplies are rationed and are difficult to get a hold of, thus the criminal element smuggle supplies in from Edward City, to Edward City and around the various outposts in the jungles.

Character Name: Jameson O'Brien
Character Archetype: Soldier (Freelance Mercenary more like)

Character Age: 23
Brief History: Jameson was really just another guy in the beginning. He enlisted, became a trooper, and did his job. Then he found out pay was sh*t and so he decided to go rogue. Jameson killed him squad in a rescue op for some egghead that everyone knew was dead, by luring an Allosaurus over which proceeded to attack, kill, and eat his squad. After most of his team was dead or dying, Jameson propped up the rocket launcher to his shoulder, aimed, fired and killed his target.

 

Jameson gathered any gear he could scavenge and then set off to find work where he could by protecting civvies, guarding cargo, escort detail, or maybe some good old fashioned extortion of a local business.

Special Skills:

-Professional Soldier- Excels with weapons and killing

-Survivalist- Jameson can live in the wild if need be

-Inventive- Often able to think of new ways to get through tough situations
