Part 2: “Second Configuration”

Part 2, Chapter 1 Summary: “Clues”

Thorne, Kelly, and Arby head to Levine’s apartment for clues to where he might be. Amid the clutter of research materials, Thorne finds reports about InGen’s dinosaur engineering which mention Site B in Costa Rica. The trio find an old Ingen computer that Levine purchased through a company auction as part of InGen’s bankruptcy settlement. The old computer stymies Thorne, but Arby, a computer whiz, begins to try to access the files stored in the computer.

Part 2, Chapter 2 Summary: “Raptor”

In Berkeley, Malcolm wonders why the specimen Levine sent had been tagged and if its wound indicates an attack from another dinosaur. He ponders the implications of his own research and is troubled by his experience with InGen. New research indicates that even the raptors, long considered vicious predators, are complex creatures, loving to their offspring and able to communicate with other raptors.

When he returns home, Malcolm notices his apartment has been broken into. Nothing has been stolen, but he wonders whether the map over this desk, showing all the sites where aberrant forms had been reported, might have been photographed by the intruders. He calls Levine, but Thorne answers and tells him to come over.
