Extract from ARC Report 532 by Captain Becker

At this point one of the velociraptors seized the anomaly detection device that Mr. Temple had place on a picnic table and carried it through the anomaly. I took the decision that the risk of contamination of the time line was low and opted not to pursue.

I was not aware, at that point, that the velociraptor had also stolen half a dozen coke cans, a toy car and a comemorative silver jubilee plate - all left behind by members the public. I believe Miss Lewis is dealing with the claims for compensation.

Jenny slammed the phone down and took five deep breaths, reminding herself that it was not the BBC's fault that Nick Cutter had once again haranged the Queen, this time in front of a startled Clare Balding, while a Protoceratops disrupted a Royal Ascot race in the background.

It did not help that this was a day of escaping Diitodons, an ill-judged practical joke involving Becker's shotgun and a phone call from the Minister.

An anxious looking Connor stuck his head around the door.

"Whatever it is, no!" Jenny said. "I need coffee break!"

"Umm... the coffee machine has broken?".

"Where's Jenny?" Lester asked Lorraine.

"She's in bed with 'flu. Thought it better not to come in and spread it further."

"Sensible woman, if only the scientific team had thought similarly," Lester said drily.

Half the ARC seemed to be ill, and Lester was pretty certain Nick Cutter was patient zero. The man had been wandering around the building for a week now, drinking Lemsip and breathing over the remaining staff.

"Jenny knows we can manage without her for a day or two," Lorraine agreed.

Lester reflected ruefully that they actually had considerably fewer competent PR staff than mad scientists.

Title: A Fresh Start

Character: Jenny

Jenny was armed with a brand new moleskine notebook, an expensive Parker pen and as many multi-coloured post-it notes and sharpies as she could fit into her bag.

Her first day as PR executive for Smith-Halloway Holdings (owners of three popular cosmetics brands) was going entirely as expected. Nothing more untoward than a mild Internet spat about the new colour of one of the toothpaste packets had occurred.

She glanced out of the window to see an anomaly in the plaza. Her first thought was "this was supposed to be a fresh start!", but her second thought was "thank God!"

Following convergence, there was an enquiry. In fact there were multiple enquiries, both internal and external, but only the first threatened reputations and careers. Jenny gave evidence at that first one and was impressed that Lester got out of it with a commendation and continued control of the ARC. She could recognise a stitch up when she saw one, and Lester was intended as scapegoat.

She met him at an art gallery opening several weeks later and said as much.

Lester smiled blandly. "Over a long career, I somehow fell into the habit of documenting my objections to ministerial decisions."

Character: Jenny

Jenny took a deep breath as the raptor charged towards her. She'd practised with the gun in the range at the ARC, as they all had, but this was the first time she'd been out in the field with nothing between her and a dinosaur except 4 kg of aluminum, steel and plastic.

In her peripheral vision she could see Becker running and shouting. He wouldn't reach her in time.

With a strange sense of calm, she looked through the sight, lined up the pointer with the center of the raptor, braced herself against the kickback and pulled the trigger.
