2-1.Current survey request:

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

Survey Request No.F301"The First Expedition"
Client: Dr. Victor Valles, Ph.
Specialty: Paleogenetics
Survey Description:Clues Left Behind by the First Expedition

Client Comments:
　Hello. I'm Dr. Victor Vales.
Thanks to everyone’s cooperation with the investigation so far, we have determined that there is a high probability the missing First Expedition Team is still alive “in some form.”
So, with the assistance of Dr. Stryker, an expert in animal behavior (the person seen riding a motorcycle in the photos from the summer survey), we decided to conduct this survey.Please look for the green wooden crate.. In that situation, we should be able to determine the current status of the first survey team.

Survey Request No.K301"Things I'm Not Good At"
Client: Dr. Silas Rockwood, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology
Survey Description:What the Largest Tyrannosaurus Rex Is Afraid Of

Client Comments:
　Hey there. I'm Dr. Cyrus Rockwood, and I'm not very good at driving a manual car. Do any of you have things you're not good at?
The biggest concern on Dinosaur Island is the Tyrannosaurus, which is about 10 meters long. If there’s anything he’s afraid of, I’d like to be considerate of him. So,Investigating the things that even the largest Tyrannosaurus rex seems to dislikeI want you to do that.
　To put it in meta terms, our goal is to convince the public to support the protection of dinosaurs.
So, we’d like him to act like a gentleman (even if that’s just our own arbitrary idea). Of course, if he were to bite us, it would definitely be more awkward than failing to start off on a hill.

Survey Request No.K302. "The Missing Submarine"
Client: Mr. Loid English
Specialties: paleontology, animal behavior, environmental resources, cultural anthropology, etc.
Survey Description:The Whereabouts of the Missing Small AI Submarine

Client Comments:
　There's good news and bad news.
The bad news is that my small AI-equipped submarine has gone missing. It’s equipped with an AI that operates autonomously by interpreting pre-programmed commands without any wireless communication. If something happens, it uses the Fulton recovery system to transmit minimal information to the surface, waits a sufficient amount of time, and is then retrieved by an aerial drone. In other words, we need to figure out what happened to the submarine based on that minimal information. This time, as foolish as it sounds, it appears to have been bitten by a dinosaur. Since minimal information about that dinosaur has been sent to us,Identifying a Dinosaur That Took a Bite Out of a SubmarineI'd like you to do that. We'll handle the data collection afterward.
　So, what's the good news? I found a place that serves delicious fish and chips.

3-1. Results of the Most Recent Survey:

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 small orange T-Rex—which I think is a baby T-Rex. As it’s grown, its color has gradually turned brownish, and it seems to have matured.
Thanks to all of you, believe it or not, the person he was facing wasSpinosaurusIt turns out that theory is the most likely explanation!
　What size other dinosaurs do young dinosaurs compete with? What kind of dinosaurs, with what kind of lifestyles, do they compete against? …If we could figure this out,Protect the dinosaurs to prevent fightsI might be able to do it!

Survey Request No.K301"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:
　Looks like you've found some Pteranodons. Judging by the results of your investigation, they...They've made their base near the roof of Dr. K's lab on Dinosaur IslandI found out that the lab is located in the center of the island. If they were planning to go hunting outside the island, they would usually be at the waterfalls on the edge of the island, but that wasn't the case.
　City centers with lots of people are like "candy stores" for those meat-eating creatures, but it doesn't seem like that's what they're doing.
In other wordsPteranodon is safe (at least for now)That's the gist of it.
　But that's unnatural in its own way. Why don't they do that? Are they always full?
The general consensus is that we'll find out more as Mr. Lloyd's investigation progresses.

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:
　I can really see that you guys are excellent investigators.
To put it simply, dinosaurs ateSelf-Sufficiency and BarterIt was found that it had been obtained through [...].
Also, surprisingly, the containers used for transportA bag of coffee...it was.
The key points of this survey are as follows.
① Dr. K worked together with the dinosaurs to grow their own food. In other words,Smart Dinosaurs...may have been using it.
②Dr. K was using coffee bags to transport food for the dinosaurs. In other words,Had ties to the outside worldIt is highly likely.
③Dr. K is the kind of person who can enjoy something a little special, like coffee,A Little Bit of a Nice Lifewas doing that.
That's the point.
Based on these points, my conclusion is that “the dinosaurs’ appetites were satisfied.” Dr. Stryker’s findings make sense to me as well.Dinosaurs have little reason to attack humans or other animals.The following is a list of the most common problems with the
However, for ①, ②, and ③,"Did Dr. K do it all by himself?"That leaves us with a question. In other words,Could there be an accomplice?...that's the gist of it.
Other than that, I guess the only real question is: where is this famous café that even Dr. K would go out of his way to buy coffee at?
　

Survey Request No.Ext-M1"Tyranno Stoppage" [Special Investigation]
Client: Dr. Victor Valles, Ph.
Specialty: Paleogenetics
Survey Description:The distance from the largest Tyrannosaurus to the largest Triceratops

Client Comments:
　Here’s some good news. To get straight to the point, we’ve discovered that the dinosaurs on Dinosaur Island are living peacefully. Specifically, carnivorous dinosaurs are not attacking herbivorous dinosaurs—at least not at this time. Although the distance between the large Tyrannosaurus—presumably the island’s apex predator—and the Triceratops, a contemporary and the largest herbivore on the island, was nearly 10 meters, the Tyrannosaurus did not attack the Triceratops at any point during the survey period.
　Based on the information we have so far,The hypothesis that the first expedition team, which went missing, was eaten by dinosaurs may be refuted.Maybe not... If that's the case, I'm suddenly very curious about where they've gone. Going forward, we'll keep track of them in conjunction with Dr. English's research on dinosaur diets.

Survey Request No.Ext-K2"The Role of the Horn" [Special Investigation]
Client: Dr. Silas Rockwood, Ph.
Specialty: Paleontology
Survey Description:The Role of the Triceratops' Horns

Client Comments:
　Your survey results have been taking up my desk’s secondary monitor for the past month, and now that the survey is over and the updates have stopped, I feel a little lonely. When I look through the results, I see so many unique insights that I almost want to make a list and show it off to my friends (though I can’t do that because of my contract). With all this data, everyone should understand just how much interest there is in dinosaurs. One thing I can say for sure is,Your research will help the dinosaurs.That's it. Thank you so much.

　Thank you for your cooperation with our special summer survey.
There is no doubt that the results of your research will benefit the dinosaurs.

　Our goal is to solve the mystery of Dinosaur Island. This involves protecting the members of the first expedition team, protecting the dinosaurs, and uncovering Dr. K’s motives for bringing the dinosaurs back to life. Therefore, our investigation will proceed on multiple fronts simultaneously.
　To solve the mystery,A track record of many investigators cooperating with the investigationThat is what matters most. The courage to take risks and study dinosaurs helps to influence public opinion and organizations—and is already doing so.

　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.

3-2. Archive of Past Survey Results:

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.

Follow in his footsteps and become a dinosaur yourself!
