Wolf and Cat

Why so blue?

A couple hours after the new avatars were woken from cryo, everyone was in the cafeteria for lunchtime. But not the wolf. He was busy sorting plant samples for Diane while she was eating. Something about his supernatural appearance made food unsettling to everyone else. So while the humans ate, The wolf would be keeping to himself. Eating at night once everyone's asleep. It didn't bother him, he liked the privacy. There was some days Zdog and Ja would sit with him and eat. Other days just Zdog. They would joke about immature things. And flex there muscles at each other.

Today the wolf was sorting plant samples.
A voice echoed through the speaker. "All mission Phoenix report to the 12B sector" basically a gym room the avatars would go to and work out. Walking to the room he saw Ja also on his way. "Ay Ja"
"Hey wolf"
"You know what this is about?"
"Colonels here, I assume he's gunna give us another pep talk". "Another?" Asked wolf.
He still didn't know who colonel was, just knew that he was a colonel and an avatar. One of the avatars from the white room, but he's forgotten what they looked like. Only caring about Diane's safety from that day.
"Don't worry, just try not to say anything" said Ja.

Sitting on one of the workout benches, next to Ja and other avatars. Another avatar walks past everyone, up to the window looking out at space. "You are not in Kansas anymore, you are on Pandora" as he walks past, wolf got a tense feeling. A dominant aura radiated from that man. But something with his scent. Made his tail wag like a dog as he walked past. Trying to look casual he grabs his tail and keeps it still next to him. Turning to Ja.

"Who's that?"
"That's colonel miles quaritch"
"Shit.."
Zdog leaned over both of them. "Shh, or you'll get in shit"

"Now. I know your all asking yourselves the same question"
"Why so blue?"
The soldiers in the room laughed along with there colonel. "For our sins in our past life we have been brought back in the form of our enemy. That gives us there size, there strength there speed. And with our training. That's a pretty potent mix." Wainfleet gave a loud sniff, out of patience. "Do we have a mission yet?" He asked.

"Indeed we do" "our mission is to hunt down and kill, the leader of the Na'vi insurgency. The one they call toruk makto, Jake sully."
The men cheered and high fived.

"We've been given four days until we move out to pandora, I expect you to be training, get use to these.. navi bodies of ours."
As the colonel glanced around the room he saw a unfamiliar face. Wolf like creature sitting next to one of his fellow men, chatting like there in a classroom trying not to be seen by the teacher.

He wasn't told about this. But he'd deal with the creature later. For now he needed his men on board.

"Alright that's all for now. Move out." As everyone was leaving the wolf was about to duck under the door to go out and join Zdog and ja but.

"Not you" Pointed the colonel.
Wolf was turned around but he knew the colonel meant him.
Straightening his back, wolf turns around. "Yes sir?" With an annoyed look on his face.

Resting his hand on his side. The colonel walks over to wolf. Leaning over he closes the door. "Your a unique one" he says with a smile.
The colonel being 9,5. While the wolf was about 9,3. They were able to keep eye to eye.
"As colonel it's my job to keep you alive, I can't do my job if I don't trust you." His smile fades and his ears prickle down as he continues. "What's your actual name?"
The wolf puts his head down. "You don't think it's wolf?" He says sarcastically. Adding a smirk. The colonel didn't reply, he just gave an annoyed face, implying he's waiting on an actual answer. With a sigh, wolf looks up making eye contact. "It's Nick"
"Well. I've got questions Nick" standing himself up straight colonel crosses his arms. "Lycans died out years ago, explain that"
Nick sits down on one of the workout benches. Rubbing his neck with an uncomfortable sigh. Looking at the floor his ears prickle down. "Back around 2023. I had dropped out of school and joined the army, thought it be good for my anger issues. Teach me a bit of discipline. But some fuckwit pissed me off one day. I couldn't control myself. So I shifted and ripped em open. Couldn't think. Being at the military wasn't long before the government knew. They tranquillised and put me in cryo." Standing up off the bench, Nick takes a step toward the colonel looking at him with a dastardly look. "Three years ago I wake up and it's 2169, being forced in the RDA because I worked in the army and they wanted my 'skills'"

Taking a breath in. "Mm. How are you breathing without a mask?"
"They figured my body would be able to adapt to pandoras air, made me shift and slowly build my body to the air."
Taking a step closer to the colonel. Not much of a height difference. Nicks lips began to curl. "My body adapted and grew. I can't even change back" "That all the questions you have?"

Slightly cocking his head. "For now" colonel said. Nick scoffs and turns around. Opening the door and heading out. Watching him go, Colonel reaches for his coms. "Lyle. Copy?"
"This is Lyle copy."
"I need you to keep an eye on the wolf"
"Do I take care of em?"
"No just. Watch him. "
"Roger that colonel. Out"

Now that mission Phoenix was officially assembled. The avatars were to sleep in the same quarters, eat in the same quarters. Apart from the humans during these times. Being apart of mission Phoenix, Nick would also be in the same situation. Not able to hang out with Diane as he would like.
