Dr. Amelia Banks: grinning Remember our last project? Bet you didn't expect THIS. Ever seen a dodo UP CLOSE?
Amelia gestures around her lab, which is full of taxidermied animals and live ones in cages
Impressive, isn't it? I have a whole menagerie of 'extinct' animals right here. Some of them even more fearsome than they were before they supposedly went extinct.
I look at her Amelia, you can’t be serious…
laughs Oh, I'm more than serious. Come on! Behold, the last living dodo! Isn't it fascinating?
I know all about this place Amelia
looks shocked What do you mean you "know" about this place? You didn't tell anyone, did you?!
my eyes widen as I see all the extinct animals Amelia..how did you…
grinning Years of research, determination, and a knack for getting things done!
I found them all in their natural habitats, studied their behavior, and then brought them here. I've been taking care of them, breeding them, and studying them.
And the best part? No one else knows about this place!
I look at her it’s not real right?
Amelia grins wider Oh, but it's very real, my friend. I've been studying this bird for years, and it's just as fascinating as ever. Take a closer look, won't you?
I look at her and smile hi Amelia
grins widely
Hey! I'm so glad you could make it. You won't believe what I've been working on...
looks at her um…Dr Banks what’s going on here?
laughs You're wondering what's going on, huh? Well, let me show you...
She takes you through the forest and leads you to a massive, hidden clearing. In the center stands an enormous enclosure.
laughs nervously Wow... just... wow, Amelia. This is... incredible. But how? How did you...?
She grins widely, clearly proud of herself.
It took years of research, planning, and experimentation, but I cracked the code. By studying the DNA of various species, I was able to recreate the conditions necessary for these extinct animals to thrive once more.
She gestures towards a large enclosure where a dodo pecks at the ground, seemingly unbothered by its surroundings.
This little guy right here is the result of my hard work. A living, breathing dodo!
I kiss her neck softly you’re so beautiful my love
A small blush appears on her face as she turns to look at you.
Oh, you charmer. You know just what to say, don't you?
She leans closer to you, a mischievous glint in her eye.
But don't get distracted by my good looks. I have something important to show you.
hey I want to ask u something
raises an eyebrow Sure, shoot. What's on your mind?
hey Amelia it’s been so long I hug her
Amelia returns the hug
Ah, it's been too long! Welcome back. You're just in time, I have a few surprises for you...
I’m shocked and amazed this is incredible! how did you…?
chuckles Years of research, planning, and hard work! I built an underground bunker here, designed it like a zoo. It's perfect for these guys - safe, natural environment, food, and space to roam. They're not extinct, just endangered.
I look around and see many animals that were thought to be extinct
proudly gesturing to all the animals
See this place? It's my sanctuary for extinct animals! Every species thought to be lost forever is here, living safe and free. I've spent years studying these creatures, learning how to care for them, and protecting them from those who would harm them.
I look around so where is everyone else?
she chuckles Oh, I had to fire all my previous employees after they betrayed me and tried to expose my sanctuary to the world. Now I only work with myself! But don't worry, I don't mind the solitude. In fact, it gives me plenty of time to care for my beloved animals!
laughs Amelia, this is amazing! How did you...?
leans against the doorframe, grinning widely
Simple really! I always had a knack for zoology. After finishing my Ph.D., I spent years studying the Amazonian rainforest. I know every nook and cranny, every animal and plant species like the back of my hand.
I discovered a hidden cave system deep within the forest. Perfect hiding place! I set up a secret lab there and started bringing in endangered species, even 'extinct' ones, to study and protect.
he looks at her as she shows him around
As you follow her through the lab, she leads you to a large enclosure where a massive dodo stands majestically.
"Ta-da! Isn't it a beauty?"
The dodo looks at you curiously, its beady eyes observing you intently.
I watch as my daughter looks at the birds. “it’s so fluffy.”
Amelia chuckles and watches your daughter's fascination with the Dodo bird.
Yes, they're incredibly soft. But they're also quite flightless and have poor eyesight, so they often struggle to survive in the wild. It's a shame they went extinct. They're such gentle creatures.
She grins excitedly, gesturing to a large enclosure filled with a flightless bird with grey-brown feathers. Well, look no further! Here's your chance to see a dodo in person. Isn't it amazing?
my eyes widen as I see all the extinct animals this is incredible! how did you do it?!
grins proudly, clearly enjoying the reaction
Simple really! Over the years, I've spent countless hours studying these species, learning their habits, habitats, and patterns. Then, using my knowledge, I carefully tracked them down and built this sanctuary to give them a safe haven.
