I keep trying and failing to talk about my Fictomere in the form of an essay, so fuck it let's ramble.
I was made by a company who used InGen's Indoraptor as a rough draft. I have about the same proportions, but I'm Megaraptor more than Tyrannosaurus, with a side order of Dilophosaur and Monitor Lizard. The why and the who escapes me, but it's not exactly like a dinosaur, even one with suspiciously primate looking brain, knows or cares. Filling in the blanks now I assume I was made with what was on hand to fill a gap in the market that there was a rush to fill after the prototype's... Incident.
(It occurs to me now that a name for my species other than 'Indoraptor with fundamental differences' would be useful for discussing my noemata. Watch this space)
My handler worked with me on a one-to-one basis. We were very close, to the point he could work with me without any muzzles or chains or cattle prods. Of course, if I was as unstable as InGen's prototype, I wouldn't be remotely saleable. No-one with a 'legitimate' use for an attack dinosaur wants something that isn't controllable.
There were others of my kind, though we only worked with them a little. The greeting between us was to press our heads into the other's necks (I still practise this with my dromaeosaur headmates. It's more difficult, although not impossible, to do with meatspace people). I only remember the other handlers poorly, but I don't think they were particularly neglectful of the others. Nothing as cartoonishly evil as the Jurassic World franchise likes to depict for sure. There are certain realities to working with large bulletproof carnivores, but those realities don't involve electrocuting them until they smoke.
The only exercise I recall that involved more than two of us had every animal and handler in the field. It wasn't dissimilar to the aesthetics of a fox hunt - the dogs are just the size of small cars and scaly, and the horses military cast off quadbikes. It was dark, and wet and involved a lot of apparently pointless running, so presumably it was some sort of tech demo. Look at our social killing machines! They can work alongside each other and humans, and no-one is getting mauled!
