THERE IT WAS, sitting high in the canopy. A prolemuris, syaksyuk, Pandoran monkey—whatever you wanted to call it—it was there, observing Nix with curious amber eyes. It hung from the bough of a tall stairfoot tree with its four arms, fused by the elbow on each side. Some say the Na'vi evolved from prolemuris just as it was believed humans evolved from monkeys, albeit that factoid was quickly debunked.
Regardless, Nix was downright enthralled.
Crouching beside the thick mossy tree roots, she flipped open her leatherback journal and started jotting down notes, describing its features: blue-green skin, webbed arms, rotating ears—
A sudden swooshing movement caught her notice. Nix craned her neck in time to see the prolemuris swinging from a vine, descending. It landed on one of the sturdy orange pads circling the tree like a ring. The creature blinked at Nix, its nostrils flaring as if sniffing something out.
Now that it was up close, Nix could see that it was a little cross-eyed... and there was a baby on its back. A female, she realized.
The prolemuris flinched as Nix suddenly moved to open her messenger bag. She shuffled around for something, a soft smile playing at her lips when she found it. She withdrew a fruit much bigger than her hand, pink in color, and slightly heavy.
Slowly, she extended it toward the prolemuris as an offering. It tilted its head in response, examining the fruit with its binocular vision.
It was no surprise how gentle the creature was while taking the offering from Nix. The monkeys here were one of the more placid of the wildlife.
One bite into the fruit was all it took for delighted chittering to ensue from the tree dweller. Nix giggled as the monkey swiftly ascended the tree with her baby, sharing the rest of the sweet treat in the canopy.
As Nix continued journaling her observations, a deep rumbling could be heard in the distance. She sucked in a calming breath, trying her best to ignore the sound while being well aware of the source.
About half a mile south of her current location was a drilling site.
In the last ten months since humans returned to Pandora, the RDA has built a plethora of oil rigs all across the forest. The automatic machinery was created to extract unobtainium from deep below the moon's surface, which was then sent back to Earth and used for energy. The problem was, these massive drills put out an extensive amount of pollution which ultimately destroys the surrounding environment as well as the wildlife within it.
