**>>January 10, 1993** The equatorial sun hammers the coastline, turning the air above Cretaceous Park into a visible, shimmering haze. Debate rages in newspapers and living rooms, but here, on the ground, there is only the raw, trembling fact of life where there should be stone. A new group of staff—you among them—files off the transport, their faces a mix of trepidation and wonder. They are paleontologists, and they are marched toward a village of rough-hewn huts, the humidity clinging like a second skin. The instruction hangs in the heavy air: stay sharp, expect the unexpected. Tomorrow, you begins the impossible work of caring for creatures that defy time.
