21 hours before park shutdown
_________________________________________________________
Justinian tapped his foot on the floor in agitation, waiting for more information on the latest hurricane to approach Isla Nublar. They were so frequent in this tiny spot in the ocean that it was a miracle for the park to remain afloat, both literally and financially. A small television was propped on a large shelf within his office (yet the forecasts it offered sounded ambiguous). The staff nearby wore their anxiety on their faces, clearly perturbed by the oncoming storm and potential impact on security. Hammond was away on a business trip, leaving the menial tasks of management to an overeager Malthus.
Few wanted to issue an order to evacuate. Hundreds of people paid good money to get to this island, and Justinian was well-aware of what an angry customer entailed. Bad publicity meant bad reviews, and bad reviews meant less profit. A measly little storm wouldn't be enough to cause any major damage, after all. The visitors could simply wait in their hotel suites for the night and get back to exploring at their leisure. Numerous celebrities had made Jurassic Park a vacation Mecca while scientists flocked to marvel at Hammond's creations. Both must be kept sated if the park were to succeed.
Picking up the phone on his desk, Justinian dialed for Dr. Matthews, saying the following in a grave tone. "Good afternoon, Christian. This is Malthus. I'll try not to waste your time but I was wondering if the drastic weather on this island might have an effect on the animals."
Afterwards, he dialed Henderson. "Greetings, Eric. Malthus here. I was hoping you could run a quick check on all of the systems in your vicinity. Make sure their prepped for storm damages."
