Hmmm... the dodo option would minimize the amount of chimeric additions needed, I would think. We could thus test out the approach more cautiously. And bringing back perhaps the most famous symbol of human-caused extinction, if marketed correctly, could garner support from unusual quarters.
That said, it sounds like Wu is eager to really stretch his technique to the limit (he was disappointed to not go for dinosaurs right away), so the dodo might be a bit too cautious of a step on that front. As long as we don't go for the massive species, they're unlikely to consider humans potential meals; 1-1.5 meters should be reasonably safe on that front (although keep small children away).
Keeping to birds in preparation for meeting in the middle is probably better than going for the curveball, at least for now. Terror birds to start with, then reach back for some other unique-looking birds, finishing with a species or two of archeopteryx.
On the head zookeeper... hmmm. Not honestly in favor of the "hands on" option, as ultimately the species we'll be bringing back are likely to react in ways outside modern experience. Automation is tempting, as is the ability to make nice with one of the local groups.
On systems... Stuart appeals. While the potential of closer US governmental eyeballs could be problematic, if we're careful about how we use our techniques it'll probably not be a major concern. And if there does end up being an "information pipeline" established, that could actually provide reassurance we aren't trying to hide from the US government. The "rock-solid" description also reassures me of competence. The BioSyn option could be useful on the espionage front, but not sure if it's worth the hassle. The eccentric genius is a gamble in my opinion; if he could be induced to buy in to the vision, he'd be spectacular - but otherwise, he'd end up a distraction.

-[x][Wu Focus]Terror Birds. They're quite a bit older so more of a challenge. They also would serve as a good intermediary step to smaller Therapods, and to be frank aren't quite as goofy looking as Dodos.
-[x][Head Zookeeper]Nicte Ehecatl is a member of the indigenous people on the island, but she had elected to go the the mainland for school. You had actually met her during your stint in Columbus, where she had complained incessantly about the weather. Having her on board may give you options to deal with the strife between InGen and her tribe.
-[x][Programming]Gregory Hazzerd. While Deniss Nedry was a rising star in the nascent world of computer programming, Hazzerd was known to be on the bleeding edge, even creating his own proprietary operating system. You'd need to cater to his eccentricities though, the man was considered to be something of an odd duck, and the small team he worked with were all equally eccentric.

Domestic Cats eat people, it doesn't need to be a big animal to consider humans as potential meals.

Living human beings. Their likely live prey would've been small critters; things their size or larger would be threats or to be ignored. The really large ones might try it as an experiment though.
Has a cat never tried to kill you? There is a reason i don't trust them.

It's true. They bide their time, constantly checking your breath to see if you are done yet, and stringing you along affectionately just to keep you useful.

I think the Terror Bird is an excellent proof of concept. Remember we will probably have to show this to potential investors, the Dodo is just a weird chicken and the Glyptodon won't help us reach our actual goal which is dinos.
Edit: Plus, we might be able to patch up its DNA with a surviving related genus, the Seriemas.

[X] Plan: Indigenous Proprietary Glyptodont
-[X][Wu Focus]Glyptodont. Wu wants to push the limits? Throw him a curveball with an ancient mammal. An herbivore, they're still impressive looking and would give Marketing something fun to play with. This could also open up some new directions for the company.

I really want to take the Glyptodont because first of all it will push wu to his limits, challenge him, give him a intresting challenge which he will love that shit and will aprrecite it for us. It also says in the option that it impressive looking and give some fun things for marketing to play with. Which means that our investors will be for it and approve of it since it immrpeive looking and marketing will have fun thigns to do with it the real real thing that I really like about it is this "This could also open up some new directions for the company." I really want to get that so we can expand our company horizon to new areas and expand it over all reach this could open up some cool and fascinating things for us to do esp in the ancient mammal category so let do Glyptodont

Pushing limits is really something to be done after you hit the limits though, and as of now we don't even have a proof of concept.
It gonna get done either way though wu just to good and will eat this shit up, we are still gonna get a proof of concept either way and well I disagree too? I don't think pushing your limits is to be done after you reach your limits cause how can you know until you have pushed them

I never actually stipulated that they had to be plan votes... And I did give them labels to differentiate them.
Okay, so here's what I'm going to do, since I didn't make it clear one way or another. Approval voting is allowed, as is voting by task rather than by plan. This will be the case going forward from here on out. To that end I am extending the vote until 8 AM EST.

This seems like a clarification that should have been made for the next vote?
