Chapter Text

Deep in an alien forest, with foreign plants, insects, and aliens.

As the morning sun slowly rose to view, light.

To reveal a young human man lying in a small area of short grass. But once the light was shown in his eyes.
His eyes burst open, inhaling a deep breath, causing him to breathe hard.
But once he breathed at an average rate, he memorized a breathing pattern.
"One, two, three, breath." He thought.
Once he controlled his breathing, he looked around and started to get up, grunting from the unexpectedly sore muscles.
He was looking to see that he was inside some terrestrial jungle.
"Where am I?" He asked himself.
Before he could do anything else, he checked himself to see he had a pair of light green military jeans and a grey sports short-sleeve t-shirt.
A pair of grey-colored hiking boots.
And some belt buckles attached with small side pouches.
Opening one of them, he pulled out a swiffarmy knife.
He noticed on his shirt that he was wearing a shirt with a rectangle-shaped patch with a name on it.
Conner.
"I guess that's my name." He thought.
That's when he heard a branch snap, causing him to look around.
Before he could react, a Thanator came out from its assumed hiding place, slowly approaching him.

He noticed it growled at him, making a predatory stance as it slightly circled him.
As if it were about to strike him, he took his stance, noticing that he was still holding the swiffarmy knife.
Slowly, the Thanator stopped and stared into Conner's eyes.
Conner gestured with his hands to show no harm, slowly putting the army knife on the ground and returning his hands to show no sign of attack or damage.
The creature looked from the weapon to Conner, repeating the process.

The Thanator slowly started to walk toward him, looking at him at eye level.
Conner realized that the Thanator was slightly taller than him; it was again walking closer to him.
Conner was confused by this, slowly walking backward, concerned about what it was doing.
That's when he accidentally tripped on a sprouted root of a terrestrial tree—causing him to fall on his butt.
Assuming what Cooner thought that the Thanator was going to kill him.
It continued to walk toward him.

Conner started scooting himself away but was met by a tree trunk.
Facing the Thanator, he assumed it would attack him.
But once it came close to him, inches away from his face.
The Thanator sniffed at Conner and looked him in the eyes again.
It slowly backed up and walked off before stopping again to look at Conner.
Then it was gone, "What...what just happened?" Conner thought.
Slowly getting back up, he grabbed the swiffarmy knife, looking around again for a moment before walking deeper into the terrestrial jungle.

Bridgehead City, RDA HQ
General Frances Ardmore was at the RDA surveillance deck, checking the workers' progress in monitoring Na'vi's activity.
"You look good, gentleman, " she said as she walked by two men working diligently, patting one of them hard on the shoulder.
"Yes, Ma'am." One of the RDA military uniformed men said in a straight, serious tone.
Everyone on the deck spoke or focused on their monitors, listening and speaking through traffic and authorization.
The General was looking through a window that showed the bay port of the city, taking a sip from her mug as she observed from the surveillance deck windows.
Someone called her before she could have another sip of her coffee.
"General, you might want to take a look at this." A female RDA soldier said.
"What is it? Na'vi?" The general asked.
"No general, it's something else." The RDA soldier said.
The general was confused by the RDA soldier's response.
She was walking over to see and lean over the RDA soldier.
Looking at what the soldier was looking at.
The soldier enhanced the video and picture to see what confused the general as she saw a young man walking through the pandora jungle.
Without a breathing mask.
"What in the..." The general said.
"Could you zoom a little bit closer?" The general asked.
The soldier complied and zoomed a little closer to see to both the soldier and the general that the young man wasn't wearing a breathing mask.
"How? Is he still breathing without a breathing mask?"  The general thought.
When the RDA soldier zoomed in, the general leaned over to figure out who he was.
But she had never seen the young man before.
"Can you run a facial recognition on this guy?" the general asked.
The RDA soldier nodded.
Typing a few keys.
The soldier scanned the young man's face, but after a facial search, there was no ID. It was titled Unknown.
"What the hell?" The general muttered.
That's when she left the soldier and speed-walked toward a door. Once it was opened, she entered a corridor that led to another part of the RDA HQ.
I passed by a few genetically engineered Na'vi's in RDA military uniforms.
She stopped at a closed door that Alec into a dorm room.
Pressing a button on the keypad, she entered to see a female RDA military uniformed Na'vi lifting waits.
"Jones." The general said.
The Na'vi did another push-up with the waits before putting them back on the resting rack and lifting her torso upward.
To look down at the general.
"General." The female Na'vi said in a casual Western tone.
"Jones." The general said in the same casual tone.
"I have an assignment for you." The general said.
The female Na'vi gave the general a toothy grin, showing her canines at her.

Somewhere in the pandora jungle, 
Conner continued to walk but felt a little dehydrated and started looking or hearing for running water.
After an hour of searching, he found a small river of running water.
Quickly rushing to the running water, he kneeled and took a handful of water, putting it into his mouth.

Conner took handfuls of water into his mouth.
Taking a breath from the aggressive drinking from the water, he continued on his walk through the jungle.
But they didn't notice that the Thanator was watching him and quietly continued to follow him.
Jones was packing her gear in a locker room of the RDA HQ.
That's when the RECOMS came inside the locker room—half human, half Na'vi hybrid RDA soldiers, just like Jones.
"Hey, Jones!" One of the RECOMS said to her.
"Hey, Keith," Jones said in a casual tone.
Jones finished packing and addressed the rest of the RECOMS.
"I take it. Are you all wondering what our mission is today?" Jone asked.
The RECOMS acknowledged with snickers and nodding their heads.
"A few hours ago, General Frances Ardmore ordered us to find and detain an unidentified human out of the outer jungle regions of Pandora," Jones said.
"A human?" Keith asked.
"Unidentified?" One of the other RECOMS asked.
"That's all that I know from what she has told me, so let's go, pack your bags, and head to the hangar in 12 minutes," Jones said.
Grabbing her bag, she headed out of the locker room down a corridor filled with other RACOMS and human RDA soldiers passing by.
That's when she entered the RDA HQ hangar.

Conner continued through the jungle.
It was starting to get dark, and he needed to find shelter.
But it was not knowing where he could find any.
That's when he started to hear the sound of train tracks.
Carefully hearing where the noise of train tracks was coming from.
He stopped to hear that they were coming from the right side of his original where he was going.
Quickly running and quickening the pace.

Outside the jungle was an edge from it, and I saw a straight line built of a train track.
Before anything else could happen, he quickly noticed a train.
It was called the Meg-Lev Jungle Train. Waiting for it to pass by.

He waited a few steps back to see if he could find a cargo train with a sliding cargo train door open.
Taking a moment, Conner noticed a cargo door, but it was closed, not when he saw a ladder built on the side of it.
Quickly making a run for it.

He ran as fast as he could and made it to the ladder.
Grabbing it by hand, he used his arm strength to lift himself.
Once on the ladder, he spotted the handle to open the sliding cargo door.
Slightly reaching over, he grabbed the handle instantly, and the door slid open.

Once inside, he looked around the train's cargo to see bins and licked up the bin tilted with the three letters' initials RDA.
Conner was confused about what RDA met but was too tired to think or do anything else.
So he rested on the floor against a plastic crate and drifted asleep.
But letting fresh air come inside to cool him down.

Jones and the RECOMS, we're all ready and loaded.
All in a Samson vehicle.

Once they were ready, she ordered the two RDA Samson pilots to take off and head to where the unidentified human was spotted last.
In the Pandora jungle.

Mag-Lev Jungle Train

Conner slowly woke from the sound of the train blaring its horn.
Looking out from the cargo door to see a starry night sky. And to see the planet that looked like Jupiter.
And to see the trees and plants glowing in a bioluminescent color.
"...Wow," Conner muttered.
"That is beautiful," Conner muttered again.
Admiring the fantastic view.
Suddenly, the train started to slow down.

This caused Conner to slightly look over from the cargo door and see a bunch of RDA soldiers looking through every piece of cargo in the train.
Some RDA soldiers are wearing Skel Suits.
Helping with moving the supplies inside each of the cargo.

Conner didn't know what else to do until he realized, looking to see that they stopped at some base camp in the terrestrial jungle.
Quickly and quietly, he made his way out of the cargo train and back to the jungle.
"Hey!" A male voice yelled.
"Shit! I've been spotted." Conner thought.
Without a destination, he ran.

But to hear the sound of a machine running after him.
I was caught off guard to be greeted by an RDA soldier in a Skel Suit.
He looked down at Conner, confused.

But he was interrupted when Conner tried to make a run for it, only to be caught by the robotic digit fingers grasping his forearm.
Slightly lifting him, the RDA soldier drew Conner closer to him.
"Why do you not have a mask?" The RDA soldier asked.
Conner strikes the man's face, crushing the man's mask.

Once he did, the soldier let go of Conner's arm.
That's when Conner was about to move but was knocked out by the butt of a gun from an RDA soldier.
Falling unconscious on the ground.

The RDA soldier turned to an incoming RDA soldier.
"Take him to the camp for questions." The RDA soldier said.
The soldiers left with Conner toward the camp, but the Thanator watched us from between the trees of the Pandora jungle.

Conner was in a portable interrogation room.

A single overhead light illuminates the room as if we've seen those action and spy agent movies when the villain is stuck or inside an interrogation room.

In zip fabricated ties.

From the other side of the room, a surveillance cam was monitoring him by two RDA soldiers.

"So what? You're telling me he didn't even have a mask on, and he was breathing within Pandora's atmosphere?" the first RDA asked, looking over to the second RDA soldier.

"Yes, sire, we got a scan, but we don't have the right equipment to do so, so we're waiting for the results we have now."

"All right." the second RDA soldier said.

"Also, were you able to get an ID for him?"

"No, we tried facial recognition or even fingerprint scan, and nothing came up."

"That's it? It's not like he was smuggled into one of the transport ships and landed here that easily," the second RDA soldier said.

"Yes, but we're still uncertain why he's not appearing in any I.D. records. The only thing that we were able to know was at least the name on the uniform he's wearing." the first RDA soldier said.

"Sigh, fine." the second RDA soldier said.

Conner's POV

I was sitting alone in the room and looked at the reflection interrogation glass; somehow, I could see through the glass.

"What the hell?" I thought. 

Suddenly, the side door to the right side of the interrogation room opened, and I saw an RDA uniformed soldier entering the room and walking over to the opposite side of the table where I was sitting.

"I'm Officer Paul, the leading operator of this camp, and we would like to ask a few questions," he said in a straightforward tone.

"Okay," I said In a regular, confused voice.

"First off, what is your name?" Paul asked.

"...Conner," I said.

"And your last name?"

"I don't know my last name," I explained.

"Okay, what's your middle name?" Paul asked, his tone slightly irritated and also somewhat confused.

"I don't know that either," I said.

"Wait, you only know your first name but don't know your last or middle name?"

"Yes," I said.

"so then what do you know?" Officer Paul asked, seemingly unpleasant by me and my reasons and not getting any answers.

I was back out from the interior part of the interrogation room to where I was, looking through the other side of the glass of the interrogation room, where the two RDA soldiers were watching the whole scene play out.

That's when the door to where they were from, observing me, swung open, and an RDA soldier came in, heavily breathing, assuming he came in as fast as he could.

"Sir, there's something that you two should see." the RDA soldier said.

The two looked at each other in confusion, then walked out of the room to follow the RDA soldier who wanted them to see something.

Out from the RDA camp, the Thanator and the Navi watched as the sky people walked around. A few walked around the perimeter looking for unusual activity, watching and surveilling the camp area's base.

Her yellow feline eyes look at the sky, and people are marching and securing the RDA camp, where they took the strange human. 

She then slowly pulled out her bow and an arrow and, taking a moment to wait and make sure her target was precise, she let the bow, and then it launched the arrow at an overhead lamp that illuminated where an RDA soldier was surveilling the area.
