Chapter Summaries

Dilos and Lex continued their plan to take control by targeting Simon Masaroni, whose blocking device had protected him from memory alteration. Dilos disabled the device and began tampering with Masaroni’s thoughts, while Lex told Lionel Luthor that he had a business opportunity involving Harrison Wells.

• Dilos had altered the memories of three board members, but Simon Masaroni remained protected by a Mental Control Blocker.
• Lex warned Dilos that his father, Lionel Luthor, might say offensive things, then greeted Lionel while Masaroni stepped between him and Dilos.
• Dilos secretly used An Jin to give Masaroni an overwhelming urge to use the restroom, then followed him after changing his appearance.
• Lex told Lionel that he had come with a business opportunity involving a new particle accelerator requested by Dr. Harrison Wells.
• Dilos confronted Masaroni in the restroom, froze the bodyguards outside, and switched off the blocker around Masaroni’s neck.
• With Masaroni’s thoughts halted, Dilos began tampering with his mind.

Dilos and Lex worked together to secure Dilos a place on International Genetic Technologies’ board while hiding their actions from Lionel. With the company weakened, Dilos prepared to revive it by focusing on Jurassic Park and its dinosaurs.

• Dilos used memory alteration and hypnotic suggestion on chairman Simon Masaroni, then concealed his exhaustion from Lionel and Lex.
• Over the next month, Dilos and Lex met board members, altered their memories, arranged share transfers, and prepared Dilos to join the board under a false identity.
• Lex helped Dilos obtain eight percent of the company’s shares and presented him with contracts for office buildings and land, while warning that he could no longer handle everything for him.
• Dilos thanked Lex and said he would soon repay him, then revealed that he planned to restore International Genetic Technologies by making Jurassic Park profitable and building secure dinosaur enclosures.

Dilos brought four squads to Isla Sorna to begin securing the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park, but a burly squad leader challenged the operation’s risks and Dilos’s authority. After the helicopter landed, the men prepared to move out while Dilos remained unconcerned.

• A burly squad leader objected that their weapons and manpower were insufficient to face the island’s carnivores, especially Velociraptors.
• Dilos offered the team two days to reconsider and promised compensation if they chose to leave, but demanded obedience if his concerns proved unfounded.
• Dilos reflected that his authority came from altering board members’ memories and that the islands held more dinosaurs than they had in the movie.
• The transport helicopter reached Isla Sorna, where Dilos spotted dinosaurs moving across a distant clearing.
• The burly leader addressed the forty men, got them into position, and opened the cabin door to begin the operation.

Dilos tested Jack Milton and his soldiers by sending them to capture herbivorous dinosaurs on Isla Sorna. After they efficiently tranquilized a herd of Stegosauruses, Dilos ordered Jack to keep the young ones and dispose of the rest.

• Jack arranged the soldiers and supplies at the base, then insisted Dilos agree that the capture operation would follow his orders and avoid suicidal risks.
• Jack led half the men into the forest to find herbivores, while Dilos followed the squad to observe.
• The squad found a herd of Stegosauruses and quietly surrounded it under Jack’s command.
• Jack’s men fired tranquilizer darts and brought down the entire herd in one minute.
• Dilos praised the soldiers’ efficiency, then told Jack to take all the young Stegosauruses and dispose of the others.

Dilos’s team captured young herbivorous dinosaurs, but the tranquilized Stegosaurus died in a strange way, their blood vanishing into the air. After finding the corpses, Dilos and Jack suspected an unknown danger was spreading across the island.

• Jack defied Dilos’s order to kill the Stegosaurus and had C Team transport their hatchlings to the base.
• Dilos stopped provoking the hunting team as they continued across the island and captured young Triceratops and Pachycephalosaurus.
• The tranquilized Stegosaurus awoke in agony, bled from their eyes and mouths, and died while Dilos’s team was away.
• Dilos’s team returned to find the Stegosaurus corpses shrunken and bloodless, and Jack discovered that blood on his dagger vanished within seconds.
• Dilos told Jack he had found no similar cases in International Genetic Technologies’ records and feared the strange phenomenon had spread.

Dilos sensed that more than fifteen hundred Compsognathus were tracking the group as it returned to base, and Jack ordered his team to defend themselves. The soldiers killed or wounded around two hundred attackers, but the relentless horde kept charging.

• Jack led the group back toward base in a defensive formation.
• Dilos's Spider-Sense warned him of danger, and he detected more than fifteen hundred Compsognathus closing in behind them.
• Dilos warned Jack, who halted the group and heard the creatures approaching.
• Jack ordered his team to switch to machine guns and form a fan-shaped defensive line.
• The soldiers opened fire, killing or wounding around two hundred Compsognathus, but the rest continued their attack.

Dilos used his mental powers and grenades to help the soldiers survive the Compsognathus attacks, then disappeared during their retreat. Jack led the team back to find him, and they were stunned by what they saw when they reached the area.

• Dilos stopped a group of Compsognathus from breaking through while the soldiers reloaded, then the team killed more than five hundred creatures.
• Dilos sensed Compsognathus moving through the vegetation on both sides and threw grenades into their groups, triggering another attack.
• Jack led the soldiers in a retreat, and they blamed Dilos for abandoning them when they noticed he was missing.
• Jack defended Dilos, then returned to the base with the soldiers and set out in vehicles to search for him.
• Jack and the soldiers found Dilos, but they stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Dilos held back the attacking Compsognathus while investigating their strange bloodless, shriveled corpses and suspecting they had been poisoned. He used grenades and machine guns to kill hundreds more, leaving the remaining swarm dead or still a threat.

• Dilos immobilized the Compsognathus with repeated psychic attacks while Jack's team escaped, then noticed their red eyes and bloodthirsty psychic waves.
• Dilos examined the dead Compsognathus and found their corpses bloodless and shriveled, like the dead Stegosaurus herd.
• Dilos decided the Compsognathus might be infected and used his five remaining grenades to kill more than three hundred of them.
• Dilos chose firearms over exhausting his psychic power, then enhanced his senses with vital energy and attacked the swarm with two light machine guns.
• Dilos emptied both machine guns and left at least two hundred Compsognathus corpses within five meters.

Dilos slaughtered nearly all the Compsognathus and captured three for research before Jack and his team arrived. He disarmed the startled team with his mental powers and challenged Jack as he reached for a gun.

• Dilos paralyzed the charging Compsognathus with mental shocks, then used two machine guns to kill most of the herd.
• Dilos lured the remaining creatures into a narrow area, shot all but a few with his Viper Pistol, and knocked the last three unconscious with his mental powers.
• Jack and his team arrived and stared in disbelief at the Compsognathus corpses and Dilos's weapons.
• Dilos asked Jack's team for a cage to hold the three surviving Compsognathus and leaped onto Jack's vehicle.
• When a team member tried to shoot him, Dilos used his mental powers to make the man drop his weapon, then disarmed the others.
• Dilos noticed Jack reaching for a gun and asked if he really planned to use it against him.

Dilos returned to the base with Jack’s squad and arranged for support and supplies after reporting the dinosaurs’ mutations to Masaroni. He kept the squad under his command, and the chapter ended with Jack confronting him about his intentions.

• Dilos lowered his gun after Jack challenged him and ordered Jack’s squad to return to the base.
• Dilos told Masaroni about the mutated dinosaurs and arranged for transport planes, medical staff, supplies, and standby aircraft.
• Dilos reflected on how he had repeatedly altered Masaroni’s memories to create a false identity and advance his plans.
• Dilos ordered Jack’s squad to guard the base while the company’s support was on its way, and the men obeyed out of fear.
• Jack entered Dilos’s tent and asked what he was trying to do.

Jack weighed Dilos’s offer to join him, torn between distrust and the need to help his disgraced men. When Robert suddenly collapsed and standard emergency medicine failed, Dilos tried to save him with an experimental antiviral serum.

• Jack recalled how the Day of Purgatory and false charges had ruined his and his men’s lives, and considered whether to accept Dilos’s offer.
• Jack hesitated because he distrusted Dilos and feared the risks of joining forces with someone who seemed inhuman.
• Robert collapsed, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, and Jack’s teammates injected him with emergency medicine that did not help.
• Dilos pushed through the crowd, admitted he was unsure he could save Robert, and injected him with his experimental antiviral serum.

Dilos and Lex developed a serum from Lex’s blood that could destroy viruses and cancerous cells, though its early version caused severe pain and baldness. In the present, Dilos used a diluted dose to save Robert, earning the team’s gratitude.

• Lex told Dilos that a meteor shower had left him with unusually high white blood cell levels and immunity to viral illnesses.
• Lex arranged equipment and materials so Dilos could develop a serum using Lex’s blood, and they agreed to pursue the project together.
• Dilos and Lex tested the serum on terminally ill volunteers, whose infections were quickly eliminated despite painful side effects and hair loss.
• Dilos determined that adjusting and diluting the serum could reduce its side effects, then made over a thousand tubes and kept some for emergencies.
• Dilos injected Robert with diluted serum, stopping his convulsions and restoring his breathing as Jack and the other team members thanked him.

After a virus spread from Compsognathus bites infected Robert and the others, Dilos investigated the outbreak and found that anesthetic darts triggered a dangerous reaction in dinosaur blood. He treated three Compsognathus with Super Anti-Toxin Serum and moved them to his tent to observe them, where Jack arrived with an explanation.

• Robert and the other people bitten by Compsognathus fell ill, so Dilos injected them with diluted serum and realized the infection spread through bodily fluids.
• Dilos planned to use a sprayer to disperse serum across the island and contacted Masaroni for equipment.
• Dilos examined dinosaur blood and found that anesthetic dart liquid caused the cells to become abnormally active, blacken, and die.
• Dilos injected three sick Compsognathus with diluted Super Anti-Toxin Serum, restrained them as they cried out, and confirmed they had lost consciousness without dying.
• Dilos carried the Compsognathus in their cage to his tent to monitor them, and Jack arrived saying he could explain what had happened.

Dilos altered the memories of Jack’s team and began using the serum’s value to accelerate his takeover of International Genetic Technologies. He enlisted Lex to raise the serum’s price and force the company’s directors to sell shares, leaving them ready to approach S.H.I.E.L.D. as well.

• Dilos altered the memories of Jack and the rest of his team before the transport plane arrived.
• Jack took charge of spreading the serum over the dinosaur islands and capturing dinosaurs while Dilos returned to the company.
• A week later, Dilos explained to Lex that prehistoric viruses threatened the dinosaurs and that International Genetic Technologies needed more serum.
• Dilos asked Lex to negotiate an extremely high serum price so the directors would sell their shares and Dilos could become the company’s largest shareholder.
• Lex agreed because the money could help him gain control of LuthorCorp and escape Lionel Luthor’s influence.
• Dilos proposed approaching International Genetic Technologies and then S.H.I.E.L.D., confident they could not replicate Richard Parker’s serum.

Dilos and Lex planned to use the Super Anti-Toxin Serum to secure wealth and protect their ambitions from Lionel Luthor. After S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military placed lucrative orders, Nick Fury decided to deepen ties with Lex and target Lionel, while also sending Black Widow to meet Bruce Wayne.

• Dilos and Lex agreed to approach the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. with the serum before selling it through International Genetic Technologies, postponing Dilos's bid to take control of the company.
• Dilos increased his involvement in International Genetic Technologies and prepared for Jurassic Park as Lex demonstrated the serum to the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., both of which placed orders worth billions.
• Coulson told Nick Fury that S.H.I.E.L.D. could not replicate the serum and that Lex's apparent success raised questions about how it had been developed.
• Nick Fury ordered Coulson to increase S.H.I.E.L.D.'s orders and strengthen its connection with Lex, then said they would take Lionel Luthor down.
• Nick Fury ordered Black Widow to go to Gotham City and meet Bruce Wayne.

Lex told Dilos how Lionel’s execution freed him from years of abuse, and Dilos secured control of the Technology Development Department at International Genetic Technologies. With access to its laboratory and equipment, Dilos prepared to simulate a new serum.

• Lex told Dilos that Lionel had been executed for his crimes after shutting down the Luthor Chemical Factory in Smallville, and he described his hatred and relief at watching his father die.
• Lex spoke about his mother’s suicide and the advice she had given him, while Dilos listened and comforted him.
• Lex took complete control of LuthorCorp, while Dilos acquired more shares and became its second-largest shareholder after Masaroni.
• Dilos took leave from school and told Chloe and Gabe he would work as an assistant in LuthorCorp’s science department.
• Dilos gained the Technology Development Department and prepared to run simulations for a new serum using its laboratory equipment.

Dilos tested the Metamorphosis Serum on Adam Jones, a corporate spy turned into his captive stand-in, and explained how Lex supplied him with test subjects and Tina’s genetic material. After imposing safeguards on Adam, Dilos returned to his serum research, where a dinosaur simulation had reached 82% progress.

• Dilos tested the Metamorphosis Serum on Adam Jones, whose bones and skin could now transform to imitate other people.
• Dilos explained that Lex had sent captured corporate spies to him and had arranged for Tina’s blood to be used in the serum research.
• Dilos warned Adam not to reveal anything and gave him a notebook of instructions before sending him to learn his abilities.
• Dilos relied on hypnotic suggestions as a hidden safeguard that could make Adam carry out programmed actions without remembering them.
• Dilos checked his dinosaur simulation and saw that its progress had reached 82%.

Dilos planned to enhance dinosaurs with serum, using frogs and related amphibians to develop a method that would prevent their immune systems from rejecting mutations. His work reached a milestone when a dinosaur hatchling began emerging from its egg.

• Dilos planned to raise the combat value of dinosaurs by giving them powerful, stable mutations.
• Dilos studied Richard Parker's research and reasoned that animals related to dinosaurs could help induce safe mutations in them.
• Dilos identified frogs and other amphibians as suitable subjects for developing dinosaur serum because dinosaur gene samples had been supplemented with amphibian genes.
• Dilos watched a dinosaur egg crack open, revealing a hatchling with a golden eye and sharp teeth.

Dilos studied the genetic changes behind his durability and used his findings to create a powerful mutant juvenile Velociraptor. After testing its lethality, he planned to develop controllable dinosaur infantry to win corporate and military support.

• Dilos found that increased ATP and altered tissue composition explained his strength and durability, then began simulating genetic components to create a safer serum for dinosaurs.
• Dilos produced a mutant juvenile Velociraptor with extraordinary strength, speed, and resistance to impacts, and estimated that it could eventually withstand ordinary bullets.
• Dilos tested the juvenile Velociraptor against a corporate spy sent by Lex, and it killed the man in less than ten seconds.
• Dilos decided to reduce the creature’s strength and speed and develop controllable Velociraptor infantry to attract backing from major corporations, the military, and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Dilos analyzed the corpses from the attacks and discovered human, wolf, and unknown genetic material, leading him to suspect Werewolves. In Gotham, Bruce Wayne decided to investigate the creature himself, leaving Alfred to turn away anyone who came looking for him.

• Lex asked Dilos to examine the mutilated corpses and analyze traces of an unknown virus found in their blood.
• Dilos identified human, wolf, and unknown genes in the samples and said the unknown sequences could belong to Werewolves.
• After learning the employees had been killed in Gotham while transporting stolen genetic material, Dilos decided to go there.
• Bruce Wayne asked Alfred about the dead employees' families and learned that two groups of bodies bore identical wounds.
• Bruce canceled his date with Rachel and entered a hidden passage, telling Alfred that the police could not handle the creature.
