Crystal was born in the year 2141, she was four years old when her father Tom Sully started his Avatar training. They spoke nothing but Na'vi at home and he'd read her the book on Pandora Botany. Crystal only saw her uncle Jake after her father's de...
The last thing I remember was falling asleep in a cryo-tube. They say you don't dream when in them, but I did. A nurse appears above me. "Are we there? Is my uncle awake?" I ask her.
"Yes sweetie, you're uncle is over there" she tells me nodding her head. She unstraps me and I float over to the window. I smile when I see Pandora, I then float over to my locker and look at myself in the mirror. Wow, I've grown a lot since I went into cryo.
"You've 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" says the head cryo doctor. Wow, nearly six years. No wonder I aged so much.
I grab my bag and sit next to my uncle's wheel chair. "You look more like your mother every day" he states smiling. As the other new recruits enter the shuttle buckling themselves in.
"Thanks uncle, how was your sleep?" I ask him.
"It was fine, though I hate how I didn't get to see you grow up" he states.
"Don't worry about it, we'll make up for lost time" I assure him smiling.
"How old are you now?" he asks me.
"Thirteen, nearly fourteen" I state.
"Can I go back into cryo until you're not a rebellious teenager?" he asks fake whining and I hit his shoulder giggling. The shuttle ejects from the main ship.
"Exopacks on! Let's go! Exopacks on!" shouts a soldier. I put on my oxygen mask as Uncle Jake does the same. "Remember people, you lose that mask you're unconscious in twenty seconds, you're dead in four minutes. Let's nobody be dead today, it looks very bad on my report" he states. I help my uncle put on his mask and he thanks before heading for the exit.
I notice he left his duffle bag and grab it. "Uncle you forgot your bag!" I shout as I ran over to him. He gives me a smile taking it and we enter the compound together. Before removing our oxygen mask. We walk into the hall where the other recruits are gathered receiving a speech.
"You are not in Kansas anymore. You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of every day. If there is a hell, you might wanna go there for some R and R after a tour on Pandora. Out there beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies, or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for juju bees. We have an indigenous population of humanoids called the Na'vi. They're fond of arrows dipped in a neuro-toxin that will stop your heart in one minute. And they have bones reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fiber. They are very hard to kill. As head of security, it is my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed. Not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need to cultivate a strong, mental attitude. You got to obey the rules; Pandora rules" states the head of security. But I tune out as he starts to list the rules, I never been one for following them. Though I haven't been caught, yet.
Afterwards Uncle Jake and I start to head for the lab when Norman appears. "Wow you've grown kid" he states after greeting my uncle.
"I see you haven't changed much" I state shaking his hand. We enter the lab as he told my uncle about Dr Augustine. Before we meet Dr Max Patel, he's en-charge while Dr Augustine is linked with her avatar. I ignore them as I go to check out my dad's former avatar, it now belonged to my uncle. "It looks like him" uncle and I stated together.
"No, looks like you. This is your avatar now, Jake" Norman tells him. "There's yours Crystal" he adds pointing and I walk over to it. It looks just like me, but a Na'vi version. But I look more Na'vi then the others, as I have eight fingers. Not ten like the other avatars.

"Your father thought it best your avatar looked your age, so we stopped the increased aging when it reach seven years old in appearance. It's grown normally the last nearly six years" Dr Max explains. He has Uncle Jake and I do our first video logs.
Soon the link pods start to open and we're introduced to Dr Augustine. Who appears to have no compassion about my uncle and I losing my father. But she was pleased at my skill in the Na'vi tongue and how I studied Pandora botany for three years. However, she stormed off after interrogating my uncle.
Max told my uncle and I to be here at eight tomorrow morning. Also told my uncle to try and use big words. Uncle Jake and I are sharing a room as I was going to share one with my dad. We prepared for bed and fell asleep in our separate single sized beds.
