( I heard a knock on my door "you Derek Quaritch" "Yes?" "you're father sent us, saying he needs you to join him on Pandora" one man hands me a latter as I look through it "what day do I need to go?" "Today sir" "save humanity uh" I whisper "I'll do it" "get ready to leave...") My body was in Cryo sleep going towards a whole new world...I felt like I just went to sleep for a day.... someone pulls me like I'm in a morgue. I see blind lights "wake up sunshine" "are we here?" My voice cracks "yes,and get ready"they leave as I get out "People, you have been in cryo for five years, nine months and twenty two days You will be hungry, you will be weak. If you feel nausea, please use the sacks provided for your convenience. The staff thanks you in advance.!"

                                    ~*•✨•*~

I move towards my locker grabbing my stuff as I put my dog tags on me "you a marine?" "No army" I say to the guy next to me "jake sully" "Derek Quaritch" we shake our hands "why come to pandora?" "brother got shot,they want me to take his place. You?" "My father wants me to join him" I cross my arms "I guess we're going to see each often" "yep"

                                   ~*•✨•*~
-Hell's gate-

"Exopacks on!" I grab the mask and safety put it on (a little bit of a struggle) "Remember people, you lose your mask you're unconscious in 20 seconds and you're dead in four minutes. Let's nobody be dead today, it looks bad on my report." He tells us as I grab my bag "Exopack on, let's go!" I push the button to reveal air. I walk down the ramp waiting for jake "Go directly into the base! Do not stop!Go straight inside!" He tells everyone "Look at all that new meat" as jake rolls down "Check it out, man.    Meals on wheels." We leave the ramp heading towards the base till we see a big tractor as it roll by us we see arrows on the tires....

                                     ~*•✨•*~
-Base-

I follow jake but we stop "You are not in Kansas any more... You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second
of every day." (It's been long since I seen my father....my mother die along time ago) "Out beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubees." Everyone is quite "We have an indigenous population of humanoids here called the Na'vi. They're fond of arrows dipped in a neurotoxin which can stop your heart in one minute.We operate -- we live -- at a constant threat condition yellow. As head of security, it's my job to keep you alive.I will not succeed ---- not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need a strong mental attitude, you need to follow procedure..."

"Let's go" I move away from my father (he probably already saw me) I keep walking as jake follows me "Hey, you're Jake right? Tom's brother? You must be Derek Quaritch? You look so different then you're father.You look just like him." Jake gives me a look all I could do is shrug "Sorry, I'm Norm Spellman, I went through avatar training with him." He offers a hand and we shakes it " He was a great guy -- funny. It was a big shock to all of us." "Yeah" jake said as we follow norm "And duh! -- obviously you look like him.I mean, if you weren't genetically identical, you wouldn't be taking over his avatar." (Damn) "That's why I'm here." "So -- you guys want to go check it out?" "Sure..."

                                    ~*•✨•*~

-Lab-
 
I see three big tanks "Me and Norm were out here to drive these remotely controlled bodies called avatars. They're grown from human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives here." Max said "holy shit" "the last one is yours Derek" "damn. They got big" jake says... I move to the last tank "he looks like me" I put my hand on the tank "I can't believe I'm doing this" I whisper "Yeah, they mature on the trip out.So the proprioceptive sims worked pretty well.Yeah, they've got great muscle tone. Give us a few hours, you guys can take them for a spin." Max tells us..... I'm on the computer looking at the camera "I'm here to be like a guard or help if something goes wrong - my body turns "do I have to do this"  "Yeah. You just need to get in the habit of documenting everything -- what you see, what you feel -- it's all part of the science. Good science starts with good observation." I turn back to the camera "I'm not really a scientist...all I can do is help them or at least try..." I brush my hair "all I'm doing this because my father say so" "Log off. It's time to meet your boss for the next five years." I turn off the camera.....

-Link room-

"Grace Augustine is a legend. She's the head of the Avatar Program, and she wrote the book -- I mean literally wrote the book -- on Pandoran botany." I sigh hearing norm talk "That's because she likes plants better than people" "Who's got my goddamn cigarette?!"I cross my arms watching this go down as she lets out the smoke "And here she is, Cinderella back from the ball. Grace, I'd like you to meet Norm Spellman, Derek Quaritch andJa-"Norm. I hear good things about you. How's your Na'vi?" "May the All Mother smile upon our first meeting." Me and jake look confused what he just said "Not bad. You sound a little formal."
"There is still much to learn." They keep talking as we wait "Uh, Grace, this is Jake S----"Yeah, yeah, I know who you are, and I don't need you. I need your brother.You know -- the PhD who trained three years for this mission." I'm watching them talk about jake "He's dead. I know it's a big inconvenience to everyone." "How much lab training have you had?Ever run a gas chromatograph?" "No." "Any actual lab work at all?" " High school chemistry.But I ditched." I laugh but when Grace looks at me I cough it out...

                                    ~*•✨•*~

"You see? You see? They're pissing on us without even the courtesy of calling it rain" she leaves "I'm going to Selfridge." "Grace, that's not a good idea." But she already left "Here, tomorrow, oh eight hundred. Try to use big words." Max tells us as everyone leaves doing their own tacks.....
