So this is kinda a sequel/side story/whatever to the "Tale of a Na'vi huntress and an Avatar"/Neytiri's POV (If you haven't read it, advise you do. It's brilliant. Look it up on my profile) Anyway, there's a lot of stuff in the brilliant movie called Avatar that happens when Neytiri isn't around, but Quatrich is, and vice versa.

And, since Quatrich is bad guy number 1 in Avatar, well-this should be interesting...

However, please note that like before, I am using the original, unedited script for Avatar. Some stuff will be different-and some of the stuff I have just added-like the Selfridge/Quatrich Conversation at the start of this.

Anyway, Enjoy.

Chapter 1-Old-school safety brief

I watched out the window of the control tower, looking at the passengers filing out the valkyre. "I guess you want me to give the briefing again, sir." I sighed.

""You're head of security here." Selfridge replied. I didn't like Selfridge. He was weak-nothing like the leader of a potentially great civilization-like the one of Pandora-should be.

"What the hells he doing here?"

I said, looking down at a man, in a wheelchair, going out the ship.

"Oh, that's Jake Sully." Selfridge explained "He's an Avatar driver."

"Oh." I said. "Avatar." The Avatar's were another thing about this place I hated-a bunch of science geeks trying to make friends with the natives-whgo didn't want to be friends with them.

"He's different." Selfridge protested.

"As in-he's a cripple?"

"No-he's a marine."

I looked at him. "You mean-he's a solider?"

"Yes-he could be useful." Selfridge answered, nodding "He's the only Avatar arriving today either-there's a scientist coming-"

I groaned. "I'll talk to this Jake at a later date-maybe he can be a spy for us or something..."

"That's exactly what we need." Selfridge said "Now-why don't you go and give the safety brief to those guys..."

A few minutes later, I was done in Hells Gate's dining hall. All the new miners and SecOp's recruits, were sitting in rows, watching me. I saw Jake wheel himself into the hall.

"You are not in Kansas anymore." I began "You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every single day."

I remembered how, in my first few days, I'd been too overconfident, and ended up having some Na'vi slash my face with her knife. She'd run off, and probably still was alive.

I pointed out the window, towards the fence. "Out beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, fly, and squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubee's"

They went quiet, shocked. I continued "We have an indigeonous 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."

I watched as it sank into the SecOp's and the miners. They'd heard it was dangerous-but I guess me saying it, out loud, or Pandora, made it sink it.

"As head of security, it's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed-" I paused for the effect, watching shock form on there faces "Not with all of you. If you wish to survieve, you need to have a strong mental attitude. You need to follow procedure.

"And then, you could still be killed." I continued. "The Na'vi hate us-they will kill us at any opportunity. They hide in trees, and sometimes SecOp's can't defend you. That is our past, present and future people. It could happen to any one of you people sitting here today."

The whole lot of them looked scared. I suppressed a smile.

"You may go-you received your room numbers a while back."

I followed Jake out, eager to watch him and see what he was like. But he was a marine, not a scientist. He wouldn't be like the others.

A man who staggered under the wait of his duffel pushed past me, muttering an apology and ran up to Jake. "Hey! You're Jake right? Tom's brother? You look just like him!" Jake gave the man a wary look. "Sorry, I'm Norm Spellman. I with through Avatar training with him."

So that was Norm. The two new Avatar's had meant-I guess I could hope Norm didn't corrupt Jake with stories of how great and misunderstood the Na'vi were-like Grace had tried to.

Norm offered Jake his hand, and Jake shook it. "He was a great guy." Norm continued "Funny. It was a shock to all of us."

"Yeah." Jake agreed.

I followed them down the corridor. "And-Duh!-You look just like him!" Norm continued "I mean, if you weren't genetically identical you wouldn't be taking over his Avatar."

"That's why I'm here." Jake said.

Norm opened a door and put his bag in. This part of the corridor was empty except for them. If I wasn't peeking out from behind the wall, they would have seen me. This was the part that held the Avatar's room. And the Avatar's were probably all linked up.

Jake tossed his bag into his room and turned back to Norm. "So-you want to check it out?" Norm asked.

Jake nodded. They walked down the corridor-or in Jake's case, wheeled, and then took the lift down. I took the stairs.

I saw them again when they were in the lab where the new Avatar's were assessed. "Damn-they got big." Jake gasped, surprised.

"Yeah, they mature on the trip out." Norm said, not surprised at the size. "So the Proprioceptive sims worked pretty well?"

"Yeah, they've got great muscle tone." Max agreed "Give us a few hours-you guys can take them for a spin."

"It looks like him." Jake said, sadly.

"No." Norm disagreed "It looks like you. This is your Avatar now, Jake."

"Right." Max said "Time for your first Videologs."
