The Way Of The Heart

Chapter 6

Mila pov.

"The signal was intermittent, and they lost it over open water but if you project the track. It hits this island group." Quaritch says as he does what he means on the hologram map.

"That's hundreds of islands. That's a big search box with lots of villages." General Ardmore says. We were back at base camp that was starting to look more and more like a city.

"This is our guy. You give me ships and aircraft, I'll bring you back his scalp." He assured. Now that's a bit crude but I wouldn't put it past him.

"Fine." She said before giving him details. I walked away to go find Spider to bug him. I had a feeling something bad was on the way.

"Hey Mila. Can you come to the lab real quick we'd like to do a check up on you." A science guy said walking up to me.

Every time we came back to base they pulled me aside for tests that they took to calling check ups. Really all it meant was making sure their creation -me- was running the way they wanted.

"Sure." I said following him to the lab.

They had me lay down on a table as they ran scans of me. I saw they concentrated on my head. Which means brain scans.

"Well you look great! Good brain activity. It looks like you got your animalistic instinct under control, yes?" A guy asked me as I sat up.

"Yes I do." I answered shortly. The trick was to not tell them too much.

"Alright then. Your free to go. Just let us know if anything odd happens, alright? Alright." The guy said as I got up and walked away taking a breath from my air mask.

Now we were flying after a ship that had just cleared the water gates and was headed to the ocean. We circled above it as it slowed down. We landed on the top where two guys were standing outside. Bahloo let out a loud roar as I landed and got off.

Quaritch, Wainfleet and Spider jumped down in front of the two men. I just crouched above by my ikraruk.

"Hey." Spider said for some reason.

"You Scoresby?" Quaritch asked one of the men.

"Uh-huh. Are you the asshole who's commandeering my ship?" He asked. I laughed lightly. Then glared at the other guy who was staring at me. Jeez don't people get it to not stare! I mean yeah I'm a white Na'vi, but come on!

"That would be me." Quaritch said as his ikran squawked behind him.

"Come on." Scoresby said leading us inside to the navigation room. (Idk?)

"The target's pretty much this whole island group." Quaritch said showing them where it is he thinks Sully is. Spider ran under his arms and over to my side before glaring at some of the humans that were staring at me.

"Never been up there. You know those waters, doc. What kinda indigenous we got?" Scoresby asked the other guy. Oh no he's a doctor. Eww.

"Uh Metkayina, mostly. Some Ta'unui. Maybe fifty villages." The 'doctor' said. I scooted away a bit more.

"And you are who?" Quaritch asked the guy.

"Oh. Uh I'm Ian Garvin. Marine biologist." He said before extending his hand to Quaritch awkwardly.

"Fifty villages. A hundred villages. I don't care. We'll search 'em all." Quaritch continued, ignoring Ian's hand. I took him off my watch list when he mentioned he was a Marine biologist. I hope it was a good decision.

"I hunt tulkun. That's what I'm rigged for. That's all my guys do. I've got quotas to meet." Scoresby said to Quaritch. Oh no here we go.

"I'll be nice once. Then I won't." Quaritch threatened as he leaned forward a bit. Wainfleet took some air in through his mask in the back ground adding to the dramatic affect. I just rolled my eyes yawning.

"Well if you can't get out of it, get into it! All crews to stations!" He yelled running off.

"Hey don't touch." A crewman said to Spider pushing him away from where he was standing. He literally only had his hand on the monitor. I hissed softly glaring at the man. He just gulped scared and I smirked victorious as Spider nudged me smirking too.
