Chapter one


Pandora, a planet filled with life. Something that has been drained and smashed to pieces on planet earth. Our waters, polluted. Our air becoming toxic. But the only thing that still held purpose was the papers in your wallet.

It was one of the reasons why this facility is here. For money.

You left earth in hopes of learning of the nature around. You read Dr. Augustine's book front to back, it inspired you to finish your schooling, and come out here. Thousand of light years away from the dead planet you called home, in hopes of learning. Learning of the animals, that thrive on this planet, the plants that glowed every night and had special properties, and learn of the Na'vi, a civilization that lives amongst the trees, the ocean, the plains and so on. You've read of many tribes and absorbed all you could.

Then you met Dr. Augustine in person, a fiery woman who had a passion for all things Pandora.

Dr. Augustine saw your thirst for knowledge of this world and took you under her wing for 2 years you've been on Pandora. You've Learned and perfected the Na'vi language, what is known about their culture and the awful things that have been done to them.

When Dr. Augustine told you about what had happened at the school, you could not look at what you were doing the same way. You had thought you came to teach, learn, and grow close to the people of Pandora. But now all you see is the greed, greed that is consuming what should have been a good thing from the inside.

The Na'vi didn't stand a chance against the advanced technology, the fact that your race took advantage of that made you feel gross.

If your were being honest, being an avatar made you feel more like yourself. In this blue skin you felt as though you had meaning, you felt at home, breathing the air through your cat like nose. Pandora was definitely your home. You felt it. You belonged here, you were meant to be on this planet.

You looked up to giant planet above you, sweat dripped from your chin as you admired the sky above.

Your breathing slowed, body aching from your run.

Your ears twitched, hearing soft thumps. You looked to your side, wiping the sweat off your brow.

Your eyes landed on a very angry Dr. Augustine. Her tail thrashing angrily behind her "you won't believe the shit I just found out." She stated, holding up a paper. She shoved it into your hands, you let out a a sigh. Mentally preparing for what ever bullshit that your department was taking.

You could barely read the small text but from what you could make out It was a print out of an email saying how Tommy, a man who had spent 3 years working for a Phd and learning everything Na'vi, would no longer be joining us. In his place, his brother Jake Sully would be taking over. An ex marine, who was discharged because of an injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down.

You looked to Dr. Augustine ears twitching "why the last minute change?"

She ripped the paper from you grasp.

"that's the thing! Apartently this isn't last minute. He's been in cryo for 5 years! They wait till now to inform me that Tommy wouldn't be joining us?! Are you kidding? Selfridge is doing this shit on purpose!" She growled crumbling the paper in her hands.

"What happened to Tommy?" You asked, taking the paper that seemed to be the source of Grace's anger from her hands.

"Who knows! they didn't even give us the courtesy of telling us." She seethed, large blue hands coming to her forehead. She massaged her temples in frustration.
