Jurassic Park - Group One
Lauren had heard stories about the station 'beaming' the inhabitants down to exotic locales from some of the longer-term residents and frankly, they sounded just as unpredictable and dangerous as life on the station could be. It wasn't enough to have the station randomly trapping them and attacking them with wolves, they could also be attacked by pirate zombies somewhere off the station. She had made her mind up to resist any attempt to send her elsewhere, but then there had been those tantalising images of double helixes and other compounds on her communicator, and Lauren's geeky side had pricked up its ears.
And where had it gotten her? Apparently beamed onto a movie set, or what had seemed like one at first. It was hard to miss the iconic logo plastered everywhere as she made her way from the woods to the visitor centre, guided by a disembodied voice that she had only vaguely recognised as someone else from the station. She was grateful for him, however, as the noises that had been coming from within the enclosure - the raptor enclosure - had sounded very... realistic for a movie set and reassurance that she wasn't alone was a good thing. Apparently there were at least a few others nearby as well, and she looked forward to meeting up with them sooner rather than later.
Eventually she made her way inside the centre and was able to find the main hall, which was quite impressive with its sweeping staircase and domed ceiling. "Hello? Is there anybody else here? I could really use someone to pinch me right now..."

Then Abed had let Troy geek out as he got on the computer system. It was simple enough to check that all of the paddocks were still safe, since Abed had seen the movie (and more than once, at that), get the footage of the surveillance cameras, and get a hold of the audio system within the visitor's center.
"Welcome to Jurassic Park," he told the three people he had spotted on the cameras. "Please proceed to the control center. Logan, please cross the room to the hallway opposite, and take the third door on the right. Lauren, please take the second door on your left. Caroline, please take the stairs to your right, walk down the hallway to your left, and take the third door on your left."
And then, he just waited to greet them as they came in, with Troy by his side - as soon as he was done freaking out. He adjusted his Indiana Jones hat, checked that his (new) whip wasn't going anywhere, and smiled over at his Han-Solo-dressed friend.

She can't stop herself, mounting the stairs that're to her right, but she doesn't go left - she goes right, she's following the exit signs and she doesn't process what he's said or that Klaus isn't with her or anything else, just that she's gone right and there's exit signs and she's outside.
And she's standing in the sun, she's under the real, honest to god sun, and she can't stop the way her eyes tear up, the way she just sort of exhales in a rush. She's outside. She's outside, and she never thought she'd be outside again, and even though she's thanked him a million times she presses a kiss to her ring, and then turns back to the door - only to see the sign.
Jurassic Park.
"Oh, wow. That's...." And that's when she realises that she heard Abed, and she tips her head back, her voice rising. "Abed?" She goes back inside after she looks over her shoulder. Well-groomed topiaries and cut grass all look normal, but she's seen this. She knows how this is supposed to go. "Sorry, I just- how do I get to you?"

He glances back at the screen, only to see that Caroline's back inside, and looking inquisitively up at the ceiling. He doesn't know how long she's been waiting for directions, but it can't be more than a few seconds.
"Caroline," he says into the mike. "Follow the hallway for twenty feet, then turn right," he tells her, an eye on the blueprints. "We're the third door on your left."

She's got her game-face on, and she's been listening for people - any people, besides the ones in this room, and she's got a big fat zero so far, even though her sense aren't really as up to par as they used to be.

He looks at the air beside him - at Troy - and nods slightly before looking back at Caroline. "You will need blood. And there's no telling how long we're here for."

The hell...
The big window in front of him is looking down on some kind of science lab -he can see empty work stations and a table covered in what look like giant chicken eggs, one of which is cracked open.
Like a giant chicken just hatched. Which can't be good news.
Logan pushes against the lap bar and it yields with a groan, and before he can decide whether to break the glass and check out the lab or beat it post haste, he hears a familiar voice over a loudspeaker.
"Welcome to Jurassic Park, please proceed to the control center. Logan, please cross the room to the hallway opposite, and take the third door on the right. Lauren, please take the second door on your left. Caroline, please take the stairs to your right, walk down the hallway to your left, and take the third door on your left."
The fact that Abed can see all of them and apparently knows the layout of the building is reason enough for him to follow the instructions.

"Just Lauren and Caroline?" He's not actually sure he knows who Lauren is, either. He can see the security screens behind Abed, so he trusts his information about as much as he ever can.
no subject
He tilts his head slightly, not his usual headtilt, but the very slight one he makes towards Troy when he is listening to him by his side. "We haven't seen the T-Rex yet either."
Everybody Together
So. She's standing in the visitor center, and she knows Abed knows what's going on, too. But the fact that there's her and Logan and Lauren - Abed and Lauren were vulnerable, and she and Logan-- they weren't really buddies, anymore, as far as she knew.
Still, she's looking around, seeing if there's anyone else. "Hello?" She calls it, and she listens, closes her eyes and really listens, and there's not anybody else.

"Caroline? It's really good to see a familiar face."
Re: Everybody Together
She paused, and then her brows rose. "I mean, you're from a place with the movie, right? Or like, is this totally new to you?"
