My name is Rose, I am Na'vi born into a human body as I have been tease by my friend Tom. Tom Sully, a man that has knowledge that he loves to show or tell to me. My buddy and I meet through my sister. Tom and I didn't really have anything in common as my sister is the one who is in the Avatar program as we call it.
When you are in Cryo, you don't dream. I am glad that don't have to dream for it felt like yesterday that I lost my last connection to Earth. It is two days, before she gets sent off that a man rapes her, and stuck a knife into her heart. I could feel her cold body under my fingertips as I cup her face as I lay my forehead against hers for the last time. You see I have been blind, since an accident when my sisters and I were younger. My sister and I were once triplets with our other sister, Yucca. She had dead years ago, so it was Lily and I for a while now. Lily was paralyze, so she couldn't use her legs. Yucca was mute, and I am blind. The accident took different senses from us, but I am the last sister left of the three.
I am remembering their words, as I am floating against my straps, "Your sister was going to be a significant investment for our government. We know this is a time of grief, but we would like you to take over your sister's contract."
Another man's voice speaks over my left shoulder, "You were once a set of triplets, your genome is identical to her. You would right into her shoes, nearly in her own skin."
The first man spoke, "You'll have a new adventure on a new world."
"The pay is even good, too."
I let a tear fall, even when I feel floating around as I feel the slide moving back as I hear a man talking, "Are we there yet?"
"Yes, we are there." I snort, that nearly sounds like Tom, "Hey, Tom? Are we good?"
The person came close to me, "I'm Jake. Tom is not here."
I blink my eyes, "How come?"
He clears his throat, "Tom is dead."
I blink my eyes as I wipe them away as I sigh, "Damnit, Tom didn't know then."
"Know about what?"
I could hear the man yelling, "You have been in cryo sleep for five years, nine months, and twenty – two days. You will be weak. You will be nauseous, if you feel nauseous use a sack."
I am help out as I am floating as I feel a hand on my wrist, as I turn to the person, "Whose there?"
"Jake, what you can't see me?" I shake my head as I point to my eyes as I lift the black glasses to show the white of my eyes as I hear the gasp as I laugh, "Blindness, due to an accident."
He scruffs as he let go of me as I am hanging around in the air, as someone comes to help me as I am dress as I am on the plane as I feel the jerk as we enter the atmosphere. The rockets loud as I hear someone yelling, "Exo – packs on! Let's go!" Someone else is yelling the same thing as I lift my mask on, putting it on, feeling it as it grips my face as they continue to yell, "Remember, people, you lose that mask, you're unconscious in 20 seconds, you're dead in four minutes. Let's nobody be dead today. Look's very bad on my report."
I ignore everything else as I felt something heavy as I lay a hand on my chest, something deep like a deep hole in the earth. I hold a hand to my chest as I feel sadness as I feel someone put a hand to my wrist, Jake. I look back at him, "I'm fine. My sisters say I was a nature physic. We must have went over something that felt like a mine."
Jake laughs, "Oh no, a nature geek."
I feel the nature leaving us as I sigh feel the plane land as the men are yelling, I take my harness off as I feel Jake's harness off. Right now he is being my lead as everyone stands up. I wait for Jake as I feel his bag on his back as he yells back, "Hang on, Rose."
The man yells, "Come on, special cases. Don't make me wait for you."
I walk fast with Jake as he rolls down the ramp, it is loud. My ears are vibrating with sounds as I try to get my senses. Air pressure is coming near us as Jake takes a sharp left as I hear someone hollering, "Look out, hot rod!"
I blink as I sigh as I hang on tight as Jake rolls onward as he stops as I hear a large machine driving in front of us. I could feel sadness and angry as something rolls by us. They have been digging as I fist my hand. Greedy bastards! I didn't like this as I tilt my head listening as I hear a man talking, "Oh man, that is just wrong!"
Jake gets me into the building as I have someone help me as I pop my walking staff out as I start clicking it against different areas getting the sounds and vibrations going as I got a sense of echo location like what bats have. I see in a way as there is long hallways with different doors as I must have follow Jake as I hear a man yelling, "You are not in Kansas, anymore."
I walk away from that direction, hatred is soaking in that man. I walk away, when someone comes up behind me, "Hey! You are Rose."
I turn to the voice as I blink, smelling his scent. A scientist as I try to shift my ears as I tilt my head, "Norm Spellman that is your name."
Norm laughs, "That's right, how you knew that?"
I smile, "You were dating my sister, Lily. I remember your scent, due to your scent always was around her."
Norm clears his throat, "Yeah, um…I am sorry about Lily, but you should know I was going to ask her to marry me, when we had come to Pandora."
I nod, "Yes, Norm. I would have love to have you in the family. It would have been good to have her here with you. We both have taken a lost, but now we must move forward."
Norm smiles as I hear wheels as he excuses himself as I smile as I am guide forward as Norm catches up with Jake. I listen as Norm explains everything as we reach the lab. Norm and Jake walk toward the avatar's. I have been told by my sister that half the dna is combine with the natives dna. I smile as I hear a welcome call, "Hey. Welcome. Welcome to Pandora."
Jake is quiet as I stand still as they move around, I stand back to listen as I hear, "Damn. They got big."
Duh, Lily told me that the natives are huge, taller than the normal tall person. I smile as I listen, "It'll take us a few hours to get them decanted; you guys can take them out tomorrow. There's yours."
Norm came to my side, "Come on, I know you can't see, but you can…"
"I want to see my sister." He guides me as Norm puts my hand on the container as I lay my head against the container listening to the splashing of the water as I feel the connection to my sisters. Bubbles from the water, and a heartbeat that is strong. The both of them as I smile, we are going to be one again. They are with me once again.
I hear someone come to my side, "Welcome. I am Dr. Max Petel. I heard about what happen to your sister."
I turn my head as I inhale softly as I nod my head, "She taught me things, and describe things to me. She would tell me things about Pandora."
Max sets me up with a log camera as I hear Jake talking on his as I look toward my camera as I lift my shades as I blink as I feel the thing staring at me, "I am not going to do it like a research log, but I am going to be speaking to this thing like I am talking to my sisters. Yucca, Lily. I am here. I am here on Pandora…without you guys. I am going to be an Avatar driver. Lily… I am going to try to do my best to fill your shoes as I know it is going to be strange, due I will be able to see again. I have use my other senses for so long that it will be strange. Today date is May ninetieth, two thousand one hundred fifty – four, Happy Birthday to us, guys," Tears fall from my eyes. I shuddery inhale as I took a breath, "Happy Birthday to us. Six years already, but to me it seems like yesterday Lily. Yucca, oh my goodness, it has been twelve years. You all know how long it has been, since I have seen little Lucas. He would have been thirteen this year. The thing told me it is seventeen hundred nine. It is nearly eighteen hundred, when Yucca, then Lily, finally me. Happy Birthday to us all. Going off now, before I get emotional."
Six years of this, good science is what Norm told Jake. I will not be able of use to them while I am human. Max has us go to see Grace, the woman full of knowledge of Pandora as I smile, Lily told me so much about Grace. I follow behind as Jake is my lead dog again as Norm is behind Max. Norm is telling Jake about Grace, a living legend as I smile. Very true. I tap everything, so I can remember the sound of the lab as Norm is bragging about Grace.
Max turns to us as Norm softly exclaims, "She literally wrote the book on Pandora potany."
Max laughs, "Well, that's 'cause she likes plants better than people." Great! "Here she is. Cinderella back from the ball. I would like to introduce to Norm Spellman, Jake Sully, and Rose Lupus."
I smell cigarette smoke, lovely she is a smoker. "Norm. I hear good things about you. How's your Na'vi?"
"May the All Mother…smile upon our first meeting."
"Not bad. You sound a little formal." The cirgette smoke moves near me as I wave my hand gently in front of my face.
"I studied for five years…but there is much to learn."
"Grace? This is Jake Sully." I hear Jake raise his hand as he say, "Ma'am."
He must be doing a handshake, when Grace pops, "Yeah. Yeah. I know who you are and I don't need you. I need your brother. You know, the PhD who trained for three years for this mission?"
Jake say in a dead voice, "He's dead. I know it is an incovernice for everyone."
I mostly ignoring this, when Grace snaps at me, "And I don't need her."
"Moron." Grace must have caught that, "What did you say?"
"I say you are moron. Lily taught me the Na'vi language as a way to study. I have the language down to a way, but you can fly off!"
"How much lab training have you had?" She must be talking to both of us as Jake smirks, "I dissected a frog once."
I turn toward her as I snort, "Lily took me to the lab training as she use me as a study buddy, when Norm couldn't show. I have had nearly a hundred thirty hours of lab training is all I got."
"You see? You see? I mean, they're just pissing on us without the courtesy of calling it rain. I'm going to Selfridge."
"No, Grace." Oh, shit! I must have said the wrong thing. I sigh as I rub my forehead, "This is such bullshit!" I listen as she starts walking over grates as the metal rattles as I listen closely as she yells, "I'm gonna kick his corporate butt. He has no business sticking his nose in my department."
I groan as I put my hand on Jake's shoulder as I sigh, "Cranky, isn't she?"
Jake snickers as he keeps himself quiet as Norm sighs, hearing footsteps come toward us. Max leans toward us, talking quietly, "Here tomorrow, 0800. Try to use big words."
Jake sighs as he starts going somewhere as Norm sighs, "This is going to be fun."
I turn my head, "Lily said that she has a temper, and can get piss off, when something she loves is getting ruin. Lily told me that Grace is a redhead, those are the most dangerous kind."
Norm chuckles, "That is true, hey can I ask you something?"
Norm and I are walking down the hallway, "Sure, ask away."
Norm clears his throat, "What do your eyes look like?"
I turn toward him stopping as I lift my shades as he gasps softly as he leans closer as I tilt my head as I put my shades down. I had put them back on after the video log as Norm softly speaks, "They are nearly white, they almost blend in with the white of your eyes. Lily told me that people would say you look like a demon."
Yes, that has happen to me. I once had ice blue eyes that is nearly a whitish look to them, but then the accident has given them an appearance of white look to them, with a small rim of ice blue still in them. The pupil is also white with a cloud look over it. I wear my shades, so people are not creep out by it. Norm shows me to my room as I get myself down to sleep, tomorrow I will have sight back once again.
