Chapter Five

  Jurassic Park

  Day 153 Helionia Calendar

  The starship Dagger arrived at the cratered moon Galafrey, and landed in the large crater that was home to the portal. Near to the portal, a small survival dome had recently been erected by the Helionians as a base for their men coming through from the dark domain. Two men in space suits stepped down from the starship and onto the surface of the moon, and then they walked across to the dome hoping to see signs that the team of men who had kidnapped Marot Pallas had returned, but the dome was empty, and there was no sign of any recent occupation either. They were supposed to rendezvous with them here when they had deposited Pallas in the second domain. Why they were so late was a mystery that the captain would have to solve by sending a small team through the portal in search of the missing men, but first he would contact Fortuna and advise him of the situation. Above their heads, the beauty of a giant planet went unnoticed by the men as it cast an angry red eye down upon the men who served General Ares Fortuna.
