Short: Nina Dreadnoughtus is a lawyer and activist in St. Genevieve.
“We thought to create life. Conquer death. In our wisdom we sought to bring forth a gentle giant, not a predator. But instead… what we revived sued us.”
– Doctor Anat Dean, head of the dinosaur revival team at the Calm Science Center.
Nina ‘Subject 18799c’ Dreadnoughtus is the chairdinosaur of the Re-Animated Rights Society. She lives in a parking garage.
Early Life
Mostly a test tube, then an egg, then a surprisingly ill-thought out series of English and law lessons.
Settlement with the Calm Science Center
“Gentlemen, ladies, and other of the jury, I tell you now what went on at the Center was no calm science. I would say it was mad science. Mad science that created me without a means to support myself, in a world that cannot handle me. That is why I am asking for sixty million dollars in settlement for living expenses.”
–Nina’s opening argument in court.
The first dinosaur lawyer, Nina’s demand for her creators to take responsibility paved the way for several other cases like her. As a result, she formed the Re-Animated Rights Society which helps clones, ghosts, zombies, and anything else pulled forth fro the sweet embrace of death into the present.
Extra facts
She took her species name Dreadnoughtus as a surname, saying that her original one, ‘Test Tube #32’, was too much trouble to hit the # key when filling out forms.
It is understood that corners cut during the cloning process means the species she was cloned from probably looked very different.
Nina wistfully hopes they were more colourful.
In 20–, she was brought forth in a civil suit for indecent exposure where it was ruled that dinosaurs don’t need pants.
‘A triumph for dinosaurs everywhere,’ she said to reporters after.
