h the floor over there�察�but�察�overall�察�remarkably clean。;
;Too clean�察─�Eddie said。
Thorne shrugged。 ;If it's a clean´room environment�察�then it's probably air´sealed�察─�he said。 ;I guess it just stayed the way it was years ago。;
Eddie shook his head。 ;For years�拭�Doc�察�I don't think so。;
;Then what do you think explains it�拭�
Malcolm frowned�察�peering through the glass。 How was it possible for a room this size to remain clean after so many years�拭�It didn't make any ´
;Hey� ─�Eddie said。
Malcolm saw it�察�too。 It was in the far corner of the room�察�a small blue box halfway up the wall�察�cables running into it。 It was obviously some kind of electrical junction box。 Mounted on the box was a tiny red light。
It was glowing。
;This place has power� �
Thorne moved close to the glass�察�looking through with them。 ;That' s impossible。 It must be some kind of stored charge�察�or a battery。。。。;
;After five years�拭�No battery can last that long�察─�Eddie said。 ;I'm telling you�察�Doc�察�this place has power� �
Arby stared at the monitor as white lettering slowly printed across the screen��
ARE YOU FIRST´TIME USER OF THE NETWORK��
He typed��
YES。
There was another pause。
He waited。
More letters slowly appeared��
YOUR FULL NAME��
He typed in his name。
DO YOU WANT A PASSWORD ISSUED TO YOU��
You're kidding�察�he thought。 This was going to be a snap。 It was almost disappointing。 He really thought Dr。 Thorne would have been more clever。 He typed��
YES。
After a moment��
YOUR NEW PASSWORD IS VIG/&*849/。 PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF IT。
Sure thing�察�Arby thought。 You bet I will。 There was no paper on the desk in front of him�察�he patted his pockets�察�found a scrap of paper�察�and wrote it down。
PLEASE RE´ENTER YOUR PASSWORD NOW。
He typed in the series of characters and numbers。
There was another pause�察�and then more printing appeared across the screen。 The speed of the printing was oddly slow�察�and halting at times。 After all this time�察�maybe the system wasn't working very ´
THANK YOU。 PASSWORD CONFIRMED。
The screen flashed�察�and suddenly turned dark blue。 There was an electronic chime。
And then Arby's jaw dropped open as he stared at the screen�察�which read��
INTERNATIONAL GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES
SITE B
LOCAL NODE NETWORK SERVICES
It didn't make any sense。 How could there be a Site B network�拭�InGen had closed Site B years ago。 Arby had already read the documents。 And InGen was out of business�察�long since bankrupt。 What network�拭�he thought。 And how had he managed to get on it�拭�The trailer wasn't connected to anything。 There were no cables or anything。 So it must be a radio network�察�already on the island。 Somehow he'd managed to log onto it。 But how could it exist�拭�A radio network needed power�察�and there was no power here。
Arby waited。
Nothing happened。 The words just sat there on the screen。 He waited for a menu to e up�察�but one never did。 Arby began to think that perhaps the system was defunct。 Or hung up。 Maybe it just let you log on�察�and then nothing happened after that。
Or maybe�察�he thought�察�he was supposed to do something。 He did the simplest thing�察�which was to press RETURN。
He saw��

VIDEO NETWORK
A�察�1´20 CCD NDC。 1。 I
So it really was an old system�此�files hadn't been modified for years。 Wondering if it still worked�察�he clicked on VIDEO NETWORK�察�And to his amazement�察�he saw the screen begin to fill with tiny video images。
There were fifteen in all�察�crowding the screen�察�showing views of various parts of the island。 Most of the cameras seemed to be mounted high up�察�in trees or something�察�and they showed ´
He stared。
They showed dinosaurs。
He squinted。 It wasn't possible。 These were movies or something he was seeing。 Because in one corner he saw a herd of triceratops。 In an adjacent square�察�some green lizard´looking things�察�in high grass�察�with just their heads sticking up。 In another�察�a single stegosaurus�察�ambling along。
They must be movies�察�he thought。 The dinosaur channel。
But then�察�in another image�察�Arby saw the two connected trailers standing in the clearing。 He could see the black photovoltaic panels glistening on the roof He almost imagined he could see himself�察�through the window of the trailer。
Oh�察�my God�察�he thought。
And in another image�察�he saw Thorne and Malcolm and Eddie get quickly into the green Explorer�察�and drive around the back of the laboratory。 And he realized with a shock��
The pictures were all real。
Power
They drove the Explorer to the back of the main building�察�heading for the power station。 On the way�察�they passed a little village to their right。 Thorne saw six plantation´style cottages and a larger building marked ;Manager's Residence。; It was clear that the cottages had once been nicely landscaped�察�but they were now overgrown�察�partially retaken by the jungle。 In the center of the plex�察�they saw a tennis court�察�a drained swimming pool�察�a small gas pump in front of what looked like a little general store。
Thorne said�察 �I wonder how many people they had here�拭─�Eddie said�察 �How do you know they're all gone�拭�
;What do you mean�拭�
;Doc ´ they have power。 After all these years。 There has to be an explanation for it。; Eddie steered the car around the back of the loading bays�察�and drove toward the power station�察�directly ahead。
The power station was a windowless�察�featureless concrete blockhouse�察�marked only by a corrugated´steel rim for ventilation around the top。 The steel vents were long since rusted a uniform brown�察�with flecks of yellow。
Eddie drove the car around the block�察�looking for a door。 He found it at the back。 It was a heavy steel door�察�with a peeling�察�painted sign that said�此�CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE DO NOT ENTER。
Eddie jumped out of the car�察�and the others followed。 Thorne sniffed the air。 ;Sulfur�察─�he said。
;Very strong�察 ─�Malcolm said�察�nodding。
Eddie tugged at the door。 ;Guys�察�I got a feeling。。。;
The door opened suddenly with a clang�察�banging against the concrete wall。 Eddie peered into darkness inside。 Thorne saw a dense maze of pipes�察�a trickle of steam ing out of the floor。 The room was extremely hot。 There was a loud�察�constant whirring sound。
Eddie said�察 �I'll be damned。; He walked forward�察�looking at the gauges�察�many of which were unreadable�察�the glass thickly coated with yellow。 The joints of the pipes were also rimmed with yellow crust。 Eddie wiped away some of the crust with his finger。 ;Amazing�察─�he said。
;Sulfur�拭─ �
;Yeah�察�sulfur。 Amazing。; He turned toward the source of the sound�察�saw a large circular vent�察�a turbine inside。 The turbine blades�察�spinning rapidly�察�were drill yellow。
;And that's sulfur�察�too�拭─�Thorne said。
;No�察─�Eddie said。 ;That must be gold。 Those turbine blades are gold alloy。;
;Gold�拭�
;Yeah。 It would have to be very inert。; He turned to Thorne。 ;You realize what all this is�拭�It's incredible。 So pact and efficient。 Nobody has figured out how to do this。 The technology is ´ ;
;You're saying it's geothermal�拭─�Malcolm said。
;That's right�察─�Eddie said。 ;They've tapped a heat source here�察�probably gas or steam�察�which is piped up through the floor over there。 Then the heat is used to boil water in a closed cycle ´ that's the network of pipes up there ´ and turn the turbine ´ there ´ which makes electric power。 Whatever the heat source�察�geothermal's almost always corrosive as hell。 Most places�察�maintenance is brutal。 But this plant still works。 Amazing�察�
Along one wall was a main panel�察�which distributed power to the en´tire laboratory plex。 The panel was flecked with mold�察�and dented in several spots。
Doesn't look like anybody's been in here in years�察─�he said。 ;And a lot of the power grid is dead。 But the plant itself is still going ´ incredible。;
Thorne coughed in the sulfurous air�察�and walked back into the sunlight。 He looked up at the Year of the laboratory。 One of the loading bays seemed in good shape�察�but the other had collapsed。 The glass at the rear of the building was shattered。
Malcolm came to stand beside him。 ;I wonder if an animal hit the building。;
;You think an animal could do that much damage�拭�
Malcolm nodded。 ;Some of these dinosaurs weigh forty�察�fifty tons。 A single animal has the mass of a whole herd of elephants。 That could easily be damage from an animal�察�yes。 You notice that path�察�running there�拭�That's a game trail going past the loading bays�察�and down the hill。 It could have been animals�察�yes。;
Thorne said �察�Didn't they think of that when they released the animals in the first place�拭�
Oh�察�I'm sure they just planned to release them for a few weeks or months�察�then round them up when they were still juvenile。 I doubt they ever thought they ´ ;
They were interrupted by a crackling electrical hiss�察�like static。 It was ing from inside the Explorer。 Behind them�察�Eddie hurried toward the car�察�with a worried look。
;I knew it�察─�Eddie said。 ;Our munications module is frying。 I knew we should have put in the other one。; He opened the door to the Explorer and climbed in the passenger side�察�picked up the handset�察�pressed the automatic tuner。 Through the windshield�察�he saw Thorne and Malcolm ing back toward the car。
And then the transmission locked。 ; ´ into the car� ─�said a scratchy voice。
;Who is this�拭�
;Dr。 Thorne� �Dr。 Malcolm� �Get in the car� �
As Thorne arrived�察�Eddie said�察 �Doc。 It's that damn kid。;
;What�拭─�Thorne said。
;It's Arby。;
Over the radio�察�Arby was saying�察�Get in the car� �I can see it ing� �
What's he talking about�拭─�Thorne said�察�frowning。 ;He's not here�察�is he�拭�Is he on this island�拭�
The radio crackled。 ;Yes�察�I'm here� �Dr。 Thorne� �
;But how the hell did he ´ ;
;Dr。 Thorne� �Get in the car� �
Thorne turned purple with anger。 He bunched his fists。 ;How did that little son of a bitch manage to do this�拭─�He grabbed the handset from Eddie。 ;Arby�察�God damn it ´ ;
;It's ing� �
Eddie said�察 �What's he talking about�拭�He sounds pletely hysterical。;
I can see it on the television� �Dr。 Thorne� �
Malcolm looked around at the jungle。 ;Maybe we should get in the car�察�he said quietly。
;What does he mean�察�television�拭─�Thorne said。 He was furious。
Eddie said�察 �I don't know�察�Doc�察�but if he's got a feed in the trailer�察�we can see it too。; He flicked on the dashboard monitor。 He watched as the screen glowed to life。
;That damn kid�察─�Thorne said。 ;I'm going to wring his neck。;
;I thought you liked that kid�察─�Malcolm said。 ;I do�察�but´;
;Chaos at work�察─�Malcolm said�察�shaking his head。 Eddie was looking at the monitor。
;Oh shit�察─�he said。
On the tiny dashboard monitor�察�they had a view looking straight down at the powerful body of a Tyranno
