2-1.Current survey request:

There are currently three types of survey requests that you can cooperate with on Dinosaur Island

Survey Request No.F201Tiny Challenges.
Client: Dr. Maya Amberton, Ph.
*Deputy to Dr. Victor Valles, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology Education
Survey Description:Orange Tyrannosaurus rival

Client Comments:
　A big T-Rex baby (or so I think)The smallest orange T-Rex on Dinosaur Island"The theme 'Carnivorous dinosaurs also engage in parenting behavior' is actually quite similar to the research of Dr. Harding, whom I've always admired! I'm really happy that I was able to achieve reproducibility!"
Dr. Victor also told me that he wanted to know about the developmental stages of the little Tyranno, and we decided to investigate.
Apparently, it's necessary to solve the mystery of dinosaur resurrection. ......
　I think the dinosaurs (and plants) will come alive in the coming summer. Take care in your research!
Correction: "Diforosaurus" in the research request form is a typo for "Dilophosaurus"! Sorry.
[Update] Summer is dinosaur season! There might be a slight change in the color of the little orange Tyrannosaurus. When that happens, be sure to look for the “smallest Tyrannosaurus”!

Survey Request No.K201"Free Wings."
Client: Dr. Dean Striker
Specialties: animal behavior, aviation physics, air traffic management, etc.
Survey Description:Where the pteranodon has its stronghold.

Client Comments:
　Yo! Nice to meet you. I'm the Dean of Animal Behavior. I'm usually working on migratory bird migration routes, aerophysics, and how to cook a good frozen chicken. (What's that last one? I use it a lot in my experiments!)
　What I want to know is about pteranodons. They fly, they eat meat, and they're big. Let's say they're after my Navy burger. Well, they'd probably take me with them.
　If such a pteranodon were to look for a "snack" in the city, hit an airplane, or get hit by a motorcycle with a large booty, it would be in big trouble! To prevent that from happening, I need you guys to investigate.

Survey Request No.M201They'll eat it.
Client: Mr. Loid English
Specialties: paleontology, animal behavior, environmental resources, cultural anthropology, etc.
Survey Description:How the dinosaurs procure and transport their food

Client Comments:
　Dr. Silas tells me that you have some excellent investigators working with you.
My request was, "How do the dinosaurs prepare food on Dinosaur Island?"
Everyone else is probably buying food and snacks at the supermarket or convenience store, but not the dinosaurs.
　My request may be difficult, but food information is essential for the survival of the dinosaurs. And is Dr. K., who claims to have brought the dinosaurs back to life, a "mad scientist" (as they say in the short video for imprementation purposes)? Once we know what steps he took for the dinosaurs, we can set the course for our next investigation.
I'm counting on you.

2-2.Next survey request:We are planning a special survey for a limited time during summer vacation.

Survey Request No.Ext-M1"Tyrannosaurus Step Measurement"
Client: Dr. Victor Valles, Ph.
Specialty: Paleogenetics
Survey Description:The distance between the largest Tyrannosaurus and the largest Triceratops

Client Comments:
　Hello. I’m Dr. Victor Vales. I’m leading this special survey. I’d like to ask you to participate in a “pacing” survey, where we measure distances by walking. Summer is hot, and the climate is closest to what it was when dinosaurs lived. In other words, we believe this is likely the season when they were most active.
　So,To determine how far apart Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, which lived during the same era, lived during what is believed to be their most active periodThat’s what I want to do. Once you know that, it serves as a rough guide for a safe distance from a giant Tyrannosaurus. I’m measuring the distance by pacing for safety’s sake. Even if you’re at an excavation site staring at the ground, thinking, “The truth about dinosaurs lies in their fossils,” you won’t get hit by a living dinosaur’s “tail lash”—but on Dinosaur Island, that’s not the case (and it has nothing to do with my lack of technical skills, by the way).
　It’s a huge help to have people actually go out and get involved rather than just imagining it from the safety of their own homes. (And,Summer Vacation Independent Research Project(It would be the greatest reward for me as a researcher if you could make use of these ideas and “step counting” in your work.)

Survey Request No.Ext-K2"The Role of the Corner"
Client: Dr. Silas Rockwood, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology
Survey Description:Field Research on the Function of Triceratops’ Horns

Client Comments:
　Hey! It's Dr. Cyrus Rockwood here. I'm always amazed by the quantity and quality of your research reports. Thanks to your work, a lot of people came to my lecture where I presented the findings.
　Anyway, let's talk about the details of the special investigation.A research-style report from me on the function of the Triceratops' horns, based on my observations of actual dinosaursI want you to do it. Don't worry—I've made sure it'll be easy to finish.
　On the day of the lecture, I was advised to take a taxi to the university and then switch to the subway because the roads were congested. It was a casual conversation I had with a researcher I happened to meet on that subway—about the limitations of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and such—that led to the idea for this study. It just goes to show that you should observe everything!
　In Japan, at school, “Summer Vacation Independent Research Project"I heard that's the assignment. If you approach it the same way I did with my research report, I'm sure you'll come up with something great!"

404: 3-1. Results of the Most Recent Survey

Survey Request No.K101
Client: Dr. Silas Rockwood, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology
Survey Description:Colors of the largest Tyrannosaurus

Client Comments:
　We don’t want to be spotted by a hungry Tyrannosaurus—and neither did our ancestors (who were just little mouse-like creatures back then).
　Thanks to everyone who reported the color of the giant Tyrannosaurus,"Color and Perception: How to Spot a Tyrannosaurus Rex First"Research on this has made progress. Even Dr. K must have made sure not to eat it while conducting his research. We're one step closer to solving the mystery. Thanks!
　I got to see some old friends at the conference, and ever since I met you guys, everything’s been going great.

Survey Request No.K101(in Japanese history)K102(Amended to)
Client: Dr. Maya Amberton, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology Education
Survey Description:Where the smallest Tyrannosaurus is located.

Client Comments:
　My paper has been published! Yay!
Thanks to everyone who helped with the survey,Carnivorous dinosaurs raising their youngI’ve started to get a sense of the dynamic between the kids’ dinosaurs and the parents’ dinosaurs!
　It seems that when the dinosaurs on Dinosaur Island are taken into custody after the investigation, it would be best for the T-Rex family to stay together. Dr. Victor also seems concerned about the dinosaurs and their young.

Survey Request No.F101
Client: Dr. Victor Valles, Ph.
Specialty: Paleogenetics
Survey Description:Types of items involved in dinosaur resurrection

Client Comments:
　Thank you to all the survey participants for your cooperation.
The investigation revealed that Dr. K had hidden a small cryogenic canister inside the lab coat on Dinosaur Island. A special investigation team was assembled to retrieve it at night, and its contents wereDinosaur Embryo(Think of it as the contents of an egg.) It’s not hard to imagine that dinosaurs were brought back to life from these. The problem is that, according to the analysis results,Some of the embryos had "different" genetic characteristicsThat’s what I’ve learned. I haven’t been able to settle down since I heard the news. I have a bad feeling about this.
　In any case, I never dreamed the investigation would have progressed this far in just three months. I ask for your continued cooperation with the investigation.

　Once the images from your survey have been analyzed at the island's survey headquarters, they will be sent to Cyrus's computer.
　This may seem like a minor point, but research is, simply put, “the process of finding answers.” Strictly speaking, therefore, there is no “answer” at this point. That said, we do have research findings that appear to be the most promising. We have therefore communicated these findings to the field investigators as the “answer.” We appreciate your understanding.

　Your courageous actions and keen eye as investigators will provide us with extremely valuable data that cannot be captured by drone cameras or satellite images. There is no doubt that your efforts in the field will greatly advance our understanding of the migratory patterns and social behavior of the island's apex predators, and our understanding of the dinosaur revival and the mystery of Dr. K.

　The island is constantly evolving and your role in its history is now firmly established. We look forward to hearing your research reports.

For the Advancement of Science.
Dr. Victor Valles
Dinosaur Island Event Chief Investigator
