After Spider was taken by Quaritch and loaded onto the ship, the human boy was knocked out once again after he was on board. Without his knowledge, he was taken back to the main base of operations of Ardmore's military HQ.

He was unconscious for a long time after that, and when he gained consciousness, Spider looked around with panic and saw that he was in a secured and locked room with cameras and a large mirror on the far side of it. He was also laying down on a metal table when we woke up. He knew that there was somebody on the other side of the two-way mirror.

Spider did not hesitate to rush at the mirror and start to bang his fists against it as he hissed and groaned from the force he was putting in. He rushed at it multiple times with his hands to try and get any sort of damage and escape. After that didn't work, Spider rushed to the sealed see-through door that kept him inside the room, pulling as hard as he could.

When he couldn't do that, he came back towards the mirror with a defensive stance, slamming his hands on the surface in front of him when he was close enough. He hissed again, trying to look as menacing and threatening as he possibly could to whoever was watching him on the other side of the wall.

"Let me out of here!" Spider yelled out as he stepped away from the mirror and looked directly at the cameras. After that, Spider began to yell and scream, most likely curses or threats in Na'vi at the cameras, knowing that somebody was seeing it.

Shortly after, Spider grabbed a chair from across the room and began banging and slamming it against the mirror with hopes of breaking it and escaping. With every attempt at banging at the mirror with the chair, he groaned with slight exhaustion. The scientist on the other side of the wall watching Spider, along with Quaritch, was completely baffled by the behavior of the human boy. He had never seen anything like it before in his life, or anyone so out of control like this.

"He's completely feral," The scientist pointed out as he looked over to Quaritch, who was leaning against a table with a coffee mug as he watched the whole ordeal. The scientist could not only see through the window but also on his monitor which showed him various angles of the cameras set up all over the room.

"He thinks he's one of them," The scientist continued, referring to the Na'vi. Spider grew up with natives, especially with Sully's family, so it makes sense that he would adopt some of the mannerisms and traits that his friends, whom he would consider practically family. Quaritch watched nonchalantly through the window as he took a sip of his coffee mug. His eyes narrowed and focused on Spider.

Later that night, after you and your family had gotten back from the forest, the happiness and relief that you and Jake felt for finally getting your family out of that situation in one piece were quickly replaced by frustration and misunderstandings by a simple suggestion.

You and Jake were arguing inside your family's hut while the kids were out and about in the cave. This was probably one of the worst fights you and Jake had ever had, and it's very rare, because the two of you rarely argue, especially since your children were always present and you would never want to subject them to that. Also, you and Jake weren't prone to fighting since you and him were almost always on the same page on everything. If there was a disagreement, you two would work it out normally, but this was a much bigger problem.

Thinking that they were alone and that they weren't being loud enough for their kids to hear, unbeknownst to you and Jake, Tuk and Kiri heard everything and were now peeking through the cracks of their hut, seeing their parents in a serious argument. You and Jake were at a crossroads, and it was getting so heated that it got the attention of your kids outside. Tuk's bright yellow eyes softened with concern as she continued to look through the slits of space she found, while Kiri stayed seated next to her sister listening.
