I just took a two and a half hour nap, and had the strangest dream. Ima explain it, but bear with me, because I've just woke up. And I'm probably already making grammar/punctuation mistakes. Whatever. Just read...
So I've had recurring dreams about dinosaurs forever. Probably attributes to seeing "Jurassic Park" at a very young age, and playing that super fun jeep console game (I'll still play, but not alone lol!) at the arcade EVERY DAY after school with my big brother and his friends. But this dream today was so weird.
I wasn't in it for once!!
Instead it was Craig Charles (of "Red Dwarf" fame) and Sam Neill (of "Jurassic Park" fame) and they were battling raptors at a seaside Catholic high school in Washinton. This I attribute to reading that piece of shit "Eclipse." Anyway....
So Craig has obviously had some experience with the friendly neighborhood experiments, as he seems determined to talk the head of operations at the laboratory that was placed somewhat aways from the high school. They allow him onto the compound, on the grounds that he wears a blindfold and is escorted by armed guards. Seems like our hero has been quite the badass in the unknown past...
They take him through the museum type-thing in handcuffs. Stupid scientists and rich tourists gape at the sight. He obv. doesn't know he's just walked onto the Washington equivalent of the disastrous resort from the first book. Bars on the moonroofs, y'all! I remember Craig and the head of ops had a lengthy, heated exchange, but that's already fading. Ugh must write faster!
He almost goes quiety back to the car park, but bam! He swings blindly at the guards, pushes his blindfold, and takes off towards the labs, handcuffed and all! It's there that he witnesses the horror. Dum dum dum...
But seriously. It's scary, this part. Deep underground, scientists had been creating dinosaurs, even going to so far as to mimic their former habitats in the earth. Because Craig isn't exactly quiet and sneaky, he gets taken down by security and dragged back up above to be questioned/bribed/tortured, but not before a smooth-talking man with a half-hidden face intervenes, and, and I quote, says: "I'll take it from here." End quote.
And it turns out, our two heroes know each other! And it turns out Craig used to be military scientist working for Ingen, before his SOUL kicked in. Which is why he and Sam Neill get on so well.
So they sneak out to the car park, get in Craig's SUV and drive as far away from the place, all the while constructing a plan of attack to take down Ingen, as Sam's (Grant's?) secret agent spying ain't panning out. They've reached the Catholic high school when they hear the air raids. They freak out, but no one at the school seems concerned. For some reason, they drive through the school and check it out. Just a bunch of punks in uniforms and nuns playing badminton (no srsly).
Everything is a-ok, until Craig drives them down one hallway away from the rest. A few kids are passing a joint around. Craig and Sam get out of the car and tell them to put it out, and get back to a safer, less secluded place. They look at him like he's nuts...and then Craig turns his head and realizes why. There're two raptors stalking them from the hallway gates.
Somehow Sam manages to get the kids to relative safety while Craig distracts the raptors, but this corners him in the "vee" of the gates. But our heroes prevail. Sam gets in the SUV and actually scares the raptors off.
Craig climbs in, and everything is kind of anti-climactic from here on out. They use their SUV (which gets pretty banged up in the process) to push the raptors off the cliff. Yay!
Sam says something like, "well, that was exciting, but now I'm hungry. Mind dropping me off at home." And then Craig, who if you'll remember is not subtle, asked him if he wants to "get dinner." LOL, and a bromance (or romance, if you want to see it that way) was born!
haha, that was long, I know. But the dream was SO DETAILED and I had to write it down before I forgot its awesomeness. And lol, that was so the cliff notes version too. There were a lot of little things like jumping up on a water fountain and watching a light show on the thick night clouds, but...I'll just stop.
So...worth a crack fic? Y/N?
