The Text:

This week’s text is Approaching Dark, spanning from pages 395 – 397.

Synopsis:

Big helicopters burst through the fog, thundering and wheeling over the landscape, their underbellies heavy with armament, causing the raptors to scatter. The Costa Ricans question the survivors, eager to find who was in charge, but nobody is in charge. The island is bombed and destroyed, as Grant takes a final look back as Isla Nublar, which is a diminishing bright spot in the darkening night. 

Discussions surround:

Island Layout, Control is a Hoax, Feminism, Almost Paradigm.

Corrections:

Side effects: 

May cause you to miss the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turle phase."
