The morning saw the Home Tree bustling with activity, Jake was coordinating the newly formed teams into their routines and agendas for reconstruction of the reborn Omaticaya tribe that was now under his leadership.
Grace was shuffling her papers as she approached Jake.
"Good thing we're acquiring this equipment from the RDA, I can only imagine the funding required to acquisition all of this!"
Jake smiled.
"The cost would only be one aspect of concern, most of the trouble is going to be teaching and assigning everyone to their appropriate sectors"
Grace nodded.
"I just hope that all of this effort doesn't go to waste, we're going to need all of the support we can muster to defeat the RDA"
Jake's face soon enveloped itself in concern, in which Grace promptly noticed with due concern in return.
"What's wrong Jake?"
Jake then turned and positioned himself towards Grace, both Avatars' eyes meeting each other like daggers.
"Look at all we're trying to build: Infrastructure, defense, healthcare, education...families. All of it can can be destroyed again by the RDA when they make their way to our planet...what then?"
Grace soon turned her head to look towards the Omaticaya tribe, full of chatter, laughter of children, and tribesman and women carrying out their daily activities and occupations for the village.
"Jake, we understand what we had to sacrifice to recover and rebuild once again. The mistakes and obliviousness of ourselves and our intuition will not fault us once again like last time. This time we are vigilant and prepared, we know our enemy and what they're capable of, but they do not know us, our resilience and resolve. Not to mention with you as the Omaticaya leader, I saw through Eywa's eyes how you led them against the Colonel, you displayed every attribute a leader should have and exemplify to others. I.....WE believe in you Jake Sully"
Jake provided a slight smirk that stretched on one side of his face.
"Thank you for your words Grace, they were very heartfelt"
Grace then shrugged.
"It's the least I could do, now there was something I was going to make privy to you. This information that I am about to disclose to you is not to be discussed with any of the Omaticaya tribe, not even Neytiri"
Jake's eyes widened.
"Well this must be serious if you're putting a disclaimer in front of it"
Grace chuckled.
"I'm placing a disclaimer on this because you have an innate tendency to be overly rambunctious when introduced to new things, including information! They basically coined the term "loose lips" after you!"
Jake crossed his arms.
"That bad?"
Grace nodded.
"THAT bad"
Jake let out a hearty laugh.
"Alright then Grace, what is the confidential information that you wanted to disclose to me?"
Grace shuffled a few papers and finally stopped at one with an enlarged photo with a subtext underneath.
"I believe I've found a device that can act as a shield generator for the entire Home Tree, it does not require a power source, and it naturally recharges off of the element unobtanium!"
