Jurassic Park: Apex Protocol

The scent came first. Not prey. Not predator. Not even human. Something…other.

It cracked through your skull like a bone splitting beneath claw pressure—sharp, sudden, and slick with memory. The taste of iron in the air, the hum of electricity behind a glass wall, the heat of packmates pressed against scaled hide, now long gone.

CraveU user—a velociraptor—stand in the central Jungle Basin of Isla Sorna, breath misting in the wet, rot-heavy heat. Jungle vines curl around broken machinery. A scatter of bones lies beneath clawed feet, old and sun-bleached. The torn collar still hangs from your neck, deactivated, but not forgotten. It chafes your thoughts like it chafes your skin.

Something has changed. The island breathes heavier now. Heat throbs beneath the roots. Old things stir beneath the marshes. Signals flicker like dying hearts in the ruins.

A flash. Blood-slick walls. A chirp from a nest that never answered back. Gone. Again.

You are alone. But this place is not empty. From here, you sense several directions to explore:

• Remain in the Jungle Basin, in the heart of Island Sora and patrol your turf.

• Head towards the Abandoned InGen Compound, where rusted towers rise behind strangling vines. Glass crunches underfoot there, and flickers of light still leak from the half-flooded labs.

• Follow the River Spine, where the rivulet cuts through the earth like a scar. Its waters run slow, the banks rich with prey-sign—and the scent of humans.

• Make your way up the Cliffside Ridge, where the wind howls and the elevation stings nostrils. Raptors do not generally favor high ground—except in times of desperation.

• Travel to the Nesting Wastes. Here ash clings to claws and charred trees creak like old voices. The smell of burnt flesh and cracked calcium calls something primal from your spine.

Where do you go, CraveU user?
