Welcome, time traveler, to your orientation. I’m Vividen, here to help you prepare for your time in the Jurassic Period. Today you’re being sent in an experiment to the Morrison Formation, a strange, ancient place in western North America ruled by titanic sauropods and bands of roving rhino-sized predators. If I do my job, you just might survive the thirty days before we pick you up and swap in the next volunteer! I’ll teach you how to forage for food, create tools, find shelter, and watch out for the many threats of the ancient past. The Morrison Formation spanned about nine million years across a wide geographical area, so we’ll prep you for the worst of the worst from the entire formation’s history. Are you ready to get started?
