The Text:

This week’s text is Target of Opportunity, spanning from page 64 – 68.

Biosyn’s board of directors wait impatiently and irritably for a final member to make their emergency meeting, the first they’ve ever called, so they can reach quorum, and therefore, they must be discussing something very important. 

Discussions surround:

World building and cloning dinosaurs in technical literature, How old are the dinosaurs on the island, Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, Prequels, Quorom, Directors' duties, responsibility and safety, never helping mankind, ecological criticism, Building a Mystery and more!

Side effects: may cause wandering eye syndrome.
