Approx. 120 miles off the coast of Costa Rica, 87 miles away from Isla Sorna. "There are several paleontologists missing on Isla Nublar. They had an expedition to explore and excavate the island for bone samples from several dinosaurs for extracting DNA sequences. The other important mission is to find the missing embryos from the Barbasol Cryogenics Can. On behalf of Simon Masrani, the science research team had to find out where those specimen are and check some important documents at the abandoned foliaged InGen Reseach Compound, which is decaying and overrun with vines deep in the dense afforestation now. Prof. Lytton and his research team have to survive the island for wildlife roaming the Restricted Area. Masrani Global Corporation sends special ops security forces to find them and bring them back home. The InGen Mercs and Asset Containment Unit try to handle the situation when there is an unexpected asset out of containment, causing havoc roaming the island."
