Site B Abandonment
Science fled in the night; nature reclaimed the island by force.
The Site B Abandonment chronicles the chaotic retreat from InGen’s primary breeding hub on Isla Sorna. Conceived as a secret sanctuary for incubating embryos away from Costa Rican scrutiny, the facility dissolved into disorder when funding evaporated and staff fled overnight. The result was a high-tech laboratory overtaken by the jungle, transforming a controlled environment into a feral prehistoric zoo that would eventually draw InGen’s rivals to its shores.

Lore & Background
Following evacuation, Site B transformed from a sterile lab into a volatile, living ecosystem. Freed from fences and caretakers, dinosaurs adapted with brutal efficiency. Predators carved out territories while herbivores established migratory routes mirroring ancient ancestors. This isolation allowed specimens to mature into fully grown adults—larger and more robust than the juveniles at Nublar—creating a living museum of prehistoric life existing entirely outside human control.
In Their Own Story
The last radio transmission from Site B was not a plea for help, but a frantic command to seal the gates. Rain lashed against the corrugated metal roofs as technicians scrambled to upload the final genetic data before the power grid failed. Outside, the jungle hummed with a new rhythm; the heavy thud of a Brachiosaurus grazing near the perimeter fence was drowned out by the guttural roar of a T-Rex claiming its territory. As the evacuation boats pulled away into the foggy night, the lights of the facility flickered and died one by one, leaving only the bioluminescent glow of lightning bugs and the glowing eyes of creatures that would soon rule the island alone.
Reader's Guide
The narrative arc begins when InGen diverted all resources to Isla Nublar, leaving Site B understaffed and vulnerable. As financial pressure mounted, the board mandated a total shutdown. The evacuation was frantic; safety protocols crumbled as personnel prioritized survival over containment, allowing dozens of species to breach their enclosures simultaneously.
In the wake of human departure, natural selection became the only law. Weaker specimens perished while apex predators matured into formidable rulers without medical intervention or artificial feeding. This period of isolation forged a wild population distinct from the juvenile stock at Nublar, establishing Isla Sorna as a dangerous, untamed wilderness.
Did You Know?
- Backup Protocol: Site B was designed to ensure species survival if Nublar failed.
- Left Behind: Functional incubators and food supplies sustained the initial population before natural hunting took hold.
- Industrial Only: Unlike Nublar, Sorna lacked tourist infrastructure, remaining a purely industrial zone abandoned mid-cycle.
- Wild Behavior: Unmonitored isolation bred unique behaviors unseen in the controlled park environment.
