HistoryEdit

Series 2Edit

Oliver Leek teamed up with Helen Cutter and together, came up with a plan. All throughout Series 2, Leek sent his SAS mercenaries to anomaly sights to capture and bring back creatures for him to use. They collected a number of prehistoric and futuristic creatures and kept them in cages inside a massive an abandoned bunker ( his base of operations. ). The pens were equipped with laser defences to prevent the animals from escaping. When Connor traced Caroline's location through her mobile Nick, Jenny, Connor and Abby headed to the bunker, they were ambushed and taken prisoner by Leek's SAS guards. Nick was knocked unconscious by one of the guards. Once he woke up, Leek showed them his collection of captive creatures. Connor and Abby were placed in one holding cell, while Nick and Jenny were placed in another. When Connor's computer virus paralysed Leek's mainframe, the animal containment field went offline, freeing the creatures. When Cutter escaped and killed one of the neutral clamped, captive Future Predators, that Leek had, he revealed that he had another 24 neural clamped Predators (his "praetorian guard").

After Jenny, Connor and Abby escaped the bunker, along with Caroline and Rex, they returned to the ARC and Jenny gave Lester the coordinates of Leek's base. As a final deterrant, Leek revealed he still had Cutter prisoner, and unless Lester called off his search party, he would order the Predators "dismantle Professor Cutter joint by joint." When Lester refused to cooperate, Cutter took the neural clamp from the dead Predator and destroyed it, short-circuiting all of them. Cutter narrowly escaped as the freed Predators tore a screaming Leek apart, as a dispassionate Lester and ARC staff watched.

After Stephen arrived to rescue Helen, he found her and Nick, and as they fled Helen told Cutter and Stephen that a way to stop the creatures was to activate the siren as the creatures associated the sound with food. When they set off the siren to lure all the creatures back to destroy each other, all was going to plan. Until as Helen sealed the door, a Raptor attacked her and grabbed her foot. As Stephen shot the Raptor, they realized that the door could only be sealed from inside the main room now. Cutter volunteered but Stephen punched him, preventing him from doing so. Stephen then sacrificed himself as he was eaten by the creatures. The creatures then turned on each other where none survived. (Episode 2.6/2.7)

Post-Series 2Edit

In the novel Fire and Water it is revealed that after Leek's death, the ARC took over the facility and used it as a storage base for creatures that couldn't be returned through the anomalies. It is explained that the creatures are held there until an anomaly to their time opens and they can be returned home. This happens to a pair of Deinosuchus. Although not all creatures are kept in this prison, the ARC and it's new second building has a storage facility where the Columbian Mammoth (S4 Prequel Episode 2) and the Dracorex are kept. (Episode 4.1)

During Episode 3.8, the ARC team travel into the Future to track down Abby's brother Jack. During the time the team are attacked by Megopteran and Future Predators. Near the end of the episode, Danny sets off a bomb and we see the building that the Megopteran have been roosting in is identical to the building Nick and Jenny where imprisoned in during Episode 2.7. This means the whole area may have been Leek's Creature Prison. (Episode 3.8)

The creatures' bodies must have been cleared, however, as most of the creatures would have killed each other; nevertheless there had to be at least one survivor in technical terms.

Under Oliver Leek's controlEdit

Under the ARC's controlEdit

Destiny of the creaturesEdit

The ARC took care of the creatures Leek imprisoned in the sense they were either killed, or may have been brought here and kept here. Most people believe the captured Convergence creatures were taken to the Creature Prison to save space in the ARC's menagerie.
