NSWRPF Archive Jurassic Park: Murphy's Law

[image=http://www.dphs.ocps.net/Teacher%20Web%20Pages/Lombardi/jurassic_park.jpg]?Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.? ? Murphy?s Law

Murphy?s Law is an RP based primarily on the Jurassic Park novels, but also drawing on the films. It takes place during the events of the first novel/film, but in a different location: Isla Sorna, also known as Site B.

The Plot
It is August, 1989, and International Genetics Technologies, Inc. is set to open its newest venture, a multi-billion dollar zoo/wildlife preserve called Jurassic Park. Spanning the island of Isla Sorna, off the coast of Costa Rica, Jurassic Park will showcase the culmination of years of meticulous scientific study by InGen?s top engineers and geneticists. InGen scientists have discovered a means of extracting the blood of dinosaurs from mosquitos and similar insects preserved in amber. Using the latest in genetics technology to manipulate the DNA within, CEO John Hammond?s dream has become a reality, and living breathing dinosaurs now once again walk the Earth. They will be shared with the world.

That is, if Jurassic Park ever opens.

A series of problems with the park and on the job accidents, not to mention a number of incidents involving the park?s animals, have caused many of the project?s considerable Japanese investors to consider pulling out. To ease their fears, John Hammond has assembled a team of outside experts to assess the park: a paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician, a lawyer, and Hammond?s own two grandchildren. He plans to parade them around the facilities, showcasing the marvels his company has created, including, for example, the technilogically advanced hatchery, where the parks dinosaurs are created.

At least, that?s what park visitors and investors are told. The real nitty gritty, the research and development, the majority of the breeding and testing takes place on another island, InGen?s ?factory floor,? Isla Sorna, known as Site B. Here, most of the actual production, research, development, and testing happen, an island devoted less to wonder and awe than to scientific study.

InGen is not the only company with plans in motion. A major competitor, Biosyn Corporation, has launched a double pronged effort of corporate espionage. Seeking InGen?s heavily guarded secrets, Biosyn has simultaneously dispatched two missions to steal dinosaur embryos and other specimens from both of InGen?s Costa Rican facilities. As a deadly hurricane approaches the region and Biosyn?s inside man at Jurassic Park, Dennis Nedry, prepares to steal embryos from Isla Nublar, a team of Biosyn operatives and mercenaries in the company?s employ approaches Isla Sorna?

Characters
I think RPs are more fun when people put thought into their characters, as it helps with the storytelling and makes things more vivid. That being said, have fun with them. As we?re dealing with a story that will have action, but is still about corporate espionage, not everyone has to be a scientist, a mercenary, or an animal specialist; lawyers, accountants, computer technicians, consultants, electricians, and anything else you can think of would all be welcomed along for the ride as well. My only request is that you know something about what your character does, or are willing to put in some research. Please don?t, for example, sign up as a paleontologist if you don?t know jack about dinosaurs or paleontology and aren?t willing to make a trip or two to Wikipedia!

Name: Dr. Galen Snyder
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Appearance: This guy makes you think of a wise owl. He has narrow brown eyes that are like two tiger-eye gems. His fine, straight, black hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a mysterious mask. He is short and has a graceful build. His skin is deeply-tanned. He has nearly-nonexistent eyebrows. His wardrobe is dignified, and is completely green.
Allegiance: InGen
Skills: Broad knowledge of Geology (specifically Geochronology)
Bio: Snyder was born and raised in Hartford, Connecticut where from a very young age he was enthralled with science. As he progressed into middle school, his knowledge spanned from regular science to that of earth sciences, and participated and won local science fairs based on his research with localized deposits of bedrock. As high school rolled around, Galen managed many scholarships to renowned universities of science even as a sophomore. His studies narrowed on rocks and paleontology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece. Upon graduation, Snyder received his doctorate in geoarchaeology and geochronology, returning to the United States upon gaining an offer to work for InGen as a "rock expert". Snyder accepted and has been working close to Hammond's scientists ever since.

 

Name: Demetrius Green
Nickname: Demetri
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Demetri is tall, muscular and tan. He has a scar on his cheek and many more on his arms and chest. He wears bunched cargo pants and skin tight t-shirts and tank tops. Demetri has brown hair that reaches his chin in the front and is parted on his left side to allow for better sight. He has blue eyes that have a ring of gold in them.
Allegiance: InGen
Skills: Skilled hunter and quite knowledgeable on the subject of dinosaurs.
Bio: Demetrius? parents are both scientists and they were studying genealogy in Africa when he was born. They lived with a small tribe outside Congo. At a young age Demetri learned to hunt with the other kids in the tribe. Because he was always outside he developed a deep tan. When Demetri wasn?t hunting he spent his time on his parent?s computer reading about dinosaurs.

When he turned 18 he decided to go to America and find a job and worked on a ranch. He was discovered as a hunter by InGen and was offered a job when he was 26. He has been working with them ever since.

 

OOC: Just a note, I'd like to keep characters human, mostly, in order to A) make sure we have enough people on the island and B) to keep people from both God-modding and from anthropomorphosing the animals.

Great two profiles, guys. I'm still trying to decide on one for myself. Tell your friends! lol

Any questions? Comments? Requests?

Kid Tested, GM Approved!

Name: Dr. Akio Fujikawa
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Appearance:
--Eyes: Brown
-- Build: Thin
--Hair: Black
--Height: 5?8?
Allegiance: BioSyn
Skills: Marine Biology, specializing in fish and aquatic reptiles
Bio: The sea has always been in the blood of the Fujikawa family and brothers Shinichi and Akio Fujikawa. Raised in the metropolitan Tokyo area, their father was captain of fishing boat for a local firm, spending much of his time in the nation?s outer islands. Both brothers spent much of their time by the bay and enjoyed spending time in and under the water, observing the vibrant sea life around them.

As they grew, the boys goals grew apart, but both remained connected to the sea. Shinichi would become a fisherman, serving under his father, while Akio would attend the University of Tokyo, studying Marine Biology specializing in the study of fish and marine reptiles. Early on in his career he would work at the university?s Ocean Research Institute until he was recruited by BioSyn Industries to help develop a new breed of Pale Trout for the Department of Fish and Game of Idaho.

Early in 1989, Akio received a report from home that his brother?s fishing trawler had been attacked and sunk off Izu Ôshima. His brother and father were both killed in the accident, along with most of the crew, but no bodies were ever found. Examination of the ship wreckages revealed large tooth marks in the hulls and the damage caused almost made it look like the ship had been pulled apart. Dr. Fujikawa examined the eye witness reports of those who managed to survive, but was as equally puzzled as the government officials investigating the case. By the way they described it, the creature sounded as if it were some kind of Pliosaurus species and a rather large one at that, perhaps a Kronosaurus or Liopleurodon. But how could that be true? Both species had been extinct for Millennia and neither was known to have swam in the waters around Japan. Shortly thereafter, Lewis Dodgson approached Fujikawa about his involvement in a special project for the corporation in Costa Rica? something that might help him find the answers he needs to discover the truth behind his family?s death.

Now, Akio finds his feelings a bittersweet mix, his childhood love mixed with the grief that somewhere out there was something that claimed the lives of those closest to him.

Akio Fujikawa?s personality is driven and he is passionate about his work. He has an amiable and friendly demeanor and is not combative. From spending many late hours on his work both in college and professionally, he has become and coffee and cappuccino addict.

Name: James Halak
Alias: Jimmy Hal
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/sites/country/img/8167_character.gif
Allegiance: Biosyn
Skills: Detective. He has great attention and observation skills. Very smart.
Weapons: 9MM, Dual .44 Magnum Revolvers.
Bio: Jimmy is a prodigy. He developed his detective skills while being in a Military Academy School. He excelled in all of his classes, but seemed to have taken a liking observation tests and challenges. After graduating early, because of his grades and his father's influence on the school, Jimmy opened his own small detective service when he was 16 and started to serve his community.

After 5 years of solving major cases dealing with murder, fraud, infidelity, and many other types, he attracted the attention of major organizations. One such was BioSyn. They approached him with the idea of working for them, which he rejected at first, but knowing that every man has a price, they raised the gambit by offering him 50 million dollars.

No doubt, Jimmy jumped for the opportunity to get the money, but he had to work his way up to the opponent they wanted him to take on.

An Urgent Message From Your GM (As Transcribed by R_Zion): Because of some issues on the Lit. board that were deemed Spoilerific, BobaMatt has been banned for the past few days. So if you haven't gotten a reply to your character sheet yet, don't worry. As soon as he returns, he'll take a look and then, hopefully this weekend, he'll start the game.

Thank you all for your patience.

ooc:

1. Sorry about the double post

2. GM, you should RP the actual characters from the Movies. Like Hammond, Grant, the grandkids, the dinosaurs, ect.

 

From my conversations with our good GM, he will be using at least one of the novel/movie characters, but I don't believe they'll be featured majorly. There may be cameos but the majority of the action in the game will be taking place on Isla Sorna, Site B.

If I'm off-base on any of this Matt, feel free to correct me.

 

I will indeed be RPing movie characters, when they become relevant or convenient for the story. I'll also be RPing other NPCs. First post'll be up later today. Actually, not too much later...

 

Opening Post

Chapter 1

"The temporary problems that have arisen in the past have been ironed out, and the appropriate measures taken to assure they do not rise again. Mistakes have been made, and for that we are regretful, but we can assure you these setbacks are no more serious than one would expect to encounter in an undertaking such as this. InGen is moving forward with the project. Jurassic Park is on schedule and running smoothly, and we're very excited to share our wondrous discoveries with the young and young at heart. And, of course, to share their money with all of you."
- Statements made by Peter Ludlow, January 1989 InGen shareholders meeting

IC: John Arnold, InGen cargo helicopter, en route to Site B

Security issues on Site B were a pain in the ass. Not because they were serious. Quite the opposite: no one knew about Site B, and no one cared, so any problem with security probably wasn?t much of a problem at all. It seemed something had breached. Chances are it was nothing, or maybe it was a fallen tree. Anyhow, there was a camera out, and they had called John Arnold to deal with it. If it was serious, he?d have to call over his colleague, Irwin Uberstein, to take care of it. It probably wasn?t serious.

Arnold turned to the pilot. ?Mind if I smoke?? he asked. The pilot shrugged. Arnold took that as a yes. He lit up, took a puff, and watched as the smoke trailed out the side of the chopper over the blue-green water. Remembering himself, he turned around to look at the man sitting behind him, a scientist by the name of Galen Snyder. He was a geologist that had been a major help to InGen?s digs all around the world. He sat now twirling a piece of amber in his fingers. Snyder had asked Hammond just what exactly all these tons of million year old tree sap were being used for and Hammond, in true John Hammond shock-and-childlike-wonder style, had told him to follow the latest shipment and find out for himself. Arnold didn?t understand that. He would have just told the man.

He patted Snyder on the leg to get his attention, then held up his cigarette. ?You mind??

IC: Ed James, Isla Sorna jungle

Five days in this jungle, and they hadn?t found out much. James Halak said it was because he preferred to work alone. Ed figured that was a load of crap. Anyway, he wasn?t really working with Halak so much as babysitting him for Dodgson. He had to hand it to the guy, though: he was the one who figured out there was a Site B at all. He was more or less responsible for everything they did know so far: what security looked like, what the buildings were for, crew shifts, etcetera. Apparently there was something called ?DX,? but they couldn?t figure out exactly what that was, yet. Most of the work they had done was done before they even got here. Once they got to Isla Sorna, they?d been caught at a standstill.

So maybe it was outside of Halak?s experience. Oh well.

Biosyn HQ in New York was getting nervous, but one of the few things Halak and James managed to agree on was that there may not be much more they were even able to find out, and there was no reason for the mercs to be uneasy. There was nothing here but scientists, technicians, a game warden or two?there were the animals, but they were in cages, and the mercs had the best in animal control equipment. No match for soldiers of fortune. They could take this whole island. Piece of cake.

Ed sat down in their camp and opened up a can of beans. He hoped the Go order would come soon. He and Halak would work out how to get the security down, the mercs would arrive, and Ed wouldn?t be stuck in a jungle alone with this guy anymore.

IC: Tim Cooper, Puerto Quepos, Costa Rica

Tim Cooper reclined in his wicker seat and took a sip of his Piña Colada, relishing the feeling of the breeze and the sound of the surf. Julius Hayde had made fun of his choice of drink and resolutely order

 

IC: Dr. Akio Fujikawa
Puerto Quepos, Costa Rica

A cool sea breeze blew across the tarmac of the Quepos-La Managua airport, rustling the pages in the folder Akio held in his hands. Dressed in brown loafers, khaki slacks and a light blue, short-sleeved dress shirt, he tried to look relaxed, but in reality was only a neck tie and lab coat away from being dressed for work. Of course, that actually seemed rather appropriate considering that Dodgson wasn?t sending him down here on a vacation. The man hadn?t met him in person when he had departed from Boise Airport but had sent an assistant to meet him and give him his ?marching orders.? Apparently he was supposed to meet two gentlemen now in BioSyn?s employ, Tim Cooper and Julius Hayde. One looked rather rough in the photos attached to the packet, not the friendliest of characters, while the other looked more of an American ?everyman?. Closing the folder and putting it under his arm, he sighed and shook his head. What in the world was he getting himself into?

Making his way through the terminal and claiming his luggage after dealing with customs and heading to the exchange, Dr. Fujikawa followed the flow of arriving travelers to a row of cabs and buses lined up at the front of the airport. He walked up to one of the idling, flaking green and white automobiles and tapped on the window to wake up the driver, who waved him in. Apparently Cooper and Hayde would be waiting for him at a small bar along the sea called ?Bahía De la Tortuga? so that?s where he directed the cabbie on towards. Akio rested his head back against the stained back seat and tried to get a little rest as the taxi traveled. He never did like flying, especially long flights. He didn?t like it when he left Japan for America and he certainly didn?t enjoy the flight from Idaho to Costa Rica. Such trips always left him unable to eat or sleep while he was in the air, left only to sit there and watch whatever outdated movie the airline decided to show. Of course, from what he saw from the food the other passengers were eating, perhaps it was best that he didn?t eat anything.

As they drove along an oceanfront road, he glanced out the window and looked at the private fishing boats out on the waters. Puerto Quepos, so he heard, was supposed to be the sports fishing mecca of Costa Rica. While normally the chance to study the local aquatic ecosystem, more specifically what species of fish were living in the area. Better to examine things up close and personal than from a book?or, at least, more enjoyable at any rate. Still, the site of the boats out there drudged up bad memories of his brother and his father?of the mysterious attack off of Izu Oshima. Dodgson said that if he helped out here, he might be able to find some answers to the cause of their deaths, but what was he going to find here? Had BioSyn sent him here to try and find something that had been extinct for millions of years? What was next, then? Yokai? Dragons? Gojira? Ha!

Finally, after nearly five minutes, the taxi came to a stop outside the ?Bahía De la Tortuga?. Giving the driver the correct amount of colóns, Akio gathered his things and then wandered into the bar?s patio. Scanning the crowd, he soon found the pair sitting at a table near the fence and the beach. One of them, Cooper, stood out in his colorful Hawaiian shirt as he sipped his drink. Akio stepped up to the table, removed his sunglasses and held out his hand in greeting before speaking up in his accented English. ?Mr. Cooper? Mr. Hayde? My name is Akio Fujikawa. Mr. Dodgson has instructed me to meet you here.?

Name: Mikhail Kuranov
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Appearance: Very pale, contrasted with a dark beard. Dark blue eyes and black hair, about 6'2".
Allegiance: InGen
Skills: History, Astronomy
Bio: Mikhail Kuranov was born in Leningrad on Febuary 9th, 1932 to two upper-middle class parents. Despite Communism's favoring to the working class, Mikhail became very wealthy due to his heavy Soviet support and businesses. Mikhail opposed Stalin during his rule which brought him into favor with Kruschev and many contemporary Soviets. With the Soviet Union quickly advancing collapse, Mikhail has begun to fund InGen's park in order to make sure he will have steady income should the entire nation switch to a different government. Frustrated with how many things have been going wrong, and with many of the Japanese investors pushing out, Mikhail has scheduled to visit the park and see if things are still to his satisfaction, including a visit to Site B.

Demetri sighed at the creature. It looked as if it would kill it self before the vius did the work. The dinosaur was extremely pitiful looking. It hobbled around it's surroundings and was crying constantly.

"Are we sure there is no cure? Because, if there isn't that dinosaur isn't going to get better. If you scientist types can't fix her, I'm shooting her tommorow. Keeping her here is a waste of space and her existence. Not to mention, it looks as if she is in a great deal of pain."

He ignored Nedry, and turned away, picking up one of the large blueprint-sheets he kept near his desk. Main Building-Overview was clearly labeled at the top. "They really should have listened to me. We need a guard-house in the main building, not a seperate bunker near the raptor paddock. Nedry is right, a power outage would make this Island hell." He said to himself as his computer restarted it's status-check on the fences.

He watched as Nedry walked out, "Where the hell could he be going? Most likely another visit to the vending machine." He said with a smirk.

Dr. Galen Snyder

InGen cargo helicopter, en route to Site B

Snyder found himself so engrossed in twirling the amber within his palm that he barely was able to respond to the question he clearly hadn't heard. Galen's eyes trailed to the cigarette in Arnold's hand and scowled slightly. "Are you aware of how many carcinogens you're directing towards your lungs with a single puff? And at this altitude where air is thinner, it's almost hard enough to breathe as it is without smoke being blown about this tiny space." Snyder wasn't accustomed to flying in a helicopter, in fact, flying in general. He'd taken a boat when he went off to college in Greece, sailing across the Mediterranean. Flying made him uncomfortable, because at least if a ship was sinking, he could swim away. Snyder couldn't flap his arms and fly to safety.

Ignoring the question posed to him by Arnold, he preferred to ask a few of his own. "What are we carrying with us anyway? This sap in my hand probably pre-dates the Cretaceous period, and knowing Hammond, he isn't going to start a sap museum." Snyder removed his sunglasses and looked out to the water, eyeing a few birds as they flew by. "Children would be bored out of their minds."

"No," said DeAngelis, "no cure. I have...ideas about how to slow the spread, but the big-wigs won't got for them. Either way, there's nothing we can do for this poor girl." He regarded the dilo, who was ignoring him, wandering in small circles to the left. "Anyway, you know Hammond doesn't want you killing any of his babies. For now, she's isolated. We'll figure out what to do with her later."

He stood straight and cracked his back. They'd lost a number of animals to DX already, and more still were getting sick. Killing the infected animals - and burning their bodies - would be effective, for some time. No doubt that's what Greene planned to do. But that would only be addressing the symptom, not the cause. The cause...DeAngelis had some ideas.

He turned to Greene, exhaled, and smiled. "Hungry?"

IC: John Arnold

Arnold watched as Snyder slowly snapped out of his stupor, his face slowly contorting into an expression of disgust. "Are you aware of how many carcinogens you're directing towards your lungs with a single puff? And at this altitude where air is thinner, it's almost hard enough to breathe as it is without smoke being blown about this tiny space."

Arnold snorted, took a drag of his cigarette, still staring at Snyder, then turned around to blow the smoke out the window. He didn't really need this crap right now. Just wanted to enjoy a cigarette. But Snyder didn't stop talking, although he seemed a bit offended that Arnold had continued to smoke. What are we carrying with us anyway? This sap in my hand probably pre-dates the Cretaceous period, and knowing Hammond, he isn't going to start a sap museum. Children would be bored out of their minds."

Arnold took another pull on his cigarette and turned again to face the geologist. "You asked Hammond that question back in the States, didn't you? And didn't he say to follow the amber and see for yourself?" He blew the rest of the smoke in his lungs out through his nostrils before continuing. "Now, I happen to know the answer to your question. I know exactly what this amber is used for. But it sounds to me like Mr. Hammond is setting you up for a surprise. I don't know about you, but I don't like to ruin surprises. And trust me, you're in for a surprise all right. A big one. I promise you it'll blow your frickin' mind." He turned back around in his seat and reclined.

IC: John Hammond, Jurassic Park Helipad

The old man scurried up the hill to the landing pad. An unexpected visitor. The team of outside consultants wasn't supposed to arrive for some time, and this man wasn't even on the guest list. Mikhail Kuranov, an important Russian investor in InGen, was approaching in his helicopter. The security team had had to scramble to prepare for his arrival, as he was mostly unannounced, not calling anyone to say he was coming until he had already arrived in Costa Rica. Troublesome.

The old man shielded his eyes from the debris being kicked up from the large red chopper blades and walked forward, using his cane, towards the door. It opened, revealing Kuranov within. The old man yelled above the sound of the machine. "Mr. Kuranov! I'm John Hammond! What a pleasant surprise to have you here with us, but...uh...you couldn't wait a week?"

TAG: Raditz

 

IC: Mikhail Kuranov
Location: Jurassic Park Helipad

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics, Great Russia has welded forever to stand...

Mikhail sighed as he looked down at the seemingly peaceful jungle beneath his helicopter. It reminded him much of his beloved Union: serene on the outside, yet inside it was full of turmoil.

Gorbachev had become increasingly more capitalist in his dealings, attempting to make the Union more accessible and more of a "modern" nation. Through the glasnost and perestroika policies, it was pleasing his enemies while making them strong at the same time: private media was ridiculing the government under the guise of glasnost and bringing up distrust for the government. This was not to mention that Kruschev had already publically disapproved of the Great Purges, but what the media was doing was applying such destructive material to modern day Russia. Gorbachev was making Communism more streamlined but as of a result of that making it weaker. Just this April they had had elections for the Congress of People's Deputies, which seemed intent only on making the nation an eastern America...

But what troubled him the most was how things were going in East Germany. Tensions were rising incredibly as Reagan and other nations put more and more pressure to bring down the Berlin Wall...which would be a fatal move to Russia's claim in East Germany and it's influence on Yugoslavia. This troubled Kuranov greatly: he had a large portion of money invested in East Germany. To lose that would possibly bring him to ruin. His business empires would be destroyed in the midst of all the pressures in his mother country unless he began to plan for such a disastor immediately, which he had been doing so far.

One of the things he had done a while ago was fund InGen's Jurassic Park project, gaining shares, with the promise of good lucrative money upon the park's opening. This would be a nice and steady income which could possibly stabilize him if the Soviet Union was to fall. The elections had sufficiently scared him as well as the threats of the wall breaking. He had to see if Jurassic Park would be ready and ready soon, and if it would be worth the money. Otherwise he would have to pull out of the investment immediately and look for something else. Such was his hurry that he hadn't even had the chance to contact the team until he had arrived in Costa Rica. Now below him was the very island...

"Sir!" shouted the pilot in Russian. "We're landing."

"Good."

As the helicopter landed, a Mr. John Hammond approached the vehicle and smiled when he saw the investor. "Mr. Kuranov! I'm John Hammond! What a pleasant surprise to have you here with us, but...uh...you couldn't wait a week?"

Mikhail shook his head sadly as the hum of the helicopter began to die down. His deep Russian accent marred his English, but it was still spoken quite correctly to those who could understand it. After the formalities were done, Mikhail said, "No. In the Union we are facing a great many problems. I need to see for myself whether further investment in this project is worth it. I have come with haste, so I apologize for the short notice I've given you."

IC: James Halak
Isla Sorna;Jungle

The sounds of the jungle weren't unnerving as much the lack there was of them. Frankly, James Halak was sick of it all.

The idiot he was traveling with had no problem showing his resentment towards Jimmy. Either the imbecile had forgotten that Jimmy was a detective or he had decided that he just didn't care that his emotions were showing on his back, while tempting Jimmy to slam his foot on the man and plow him facefirst onto jungle floor.

At least the feeling was mutual.

Jimmy knew some of the areas on the island since without him, BioSyn would be walking around in the dark and InGen would kick their nosey sorry asses off the island, but luckily for them, Jimmy had done his job. He had risked his ass to get the information they needed. Security routines, surveilance cameras, passages, and the whole works.

In short they had been given the Jimmy Hal special, with eggs and bacon on the side.

As Ed sat down and opened a can of beans, Jimmy almost coughed up his breakfast, but was quickly brought back that he needed his energy. They had been eating beans and greens for the past 5 days and he was disgusted everytime he had to eat. He walked over to a tree he had set his sleeping bag against and pulled his cantine to his mouth and let the tiny droplets drip onto his chest and into his sweat soaked tanktops. He had brought suits along just in case he had to do more espionage or make a formal appearance, but he had since abandoned his shirt and jacket because of the morning humidity that almost dehydrated him and killed him in his sleep.

He, reluctantly, pulled the cantine from his mouth and clipped it back onto his belt clip. He watched as Ed devoured more and more of the beans that were still in his can before grabbing one himself and opening it with his pocketknife. He looked at the round inhabitants of the can before digging into it himself.
