Jake suddenly looks on to the crowd, some of the clan leaders have sat around, they are tired. Jake begins to hear a snoring sound, it is one of the clan leaders dosing off on a nearby bench. Jake looks at him, he does not know what to say. Another clan leader sitting next to the dosed off man observes Jake's reaction, he quickly elbow pushes him to wake up, who opens his eyes in confusion and yawns.

Jake looks at the Doctor with an increasingly worried face, for he knows that the Doctor is being honest and quite skeptic about the operation. Jake tells him in English: "Doctor, perhaps there is time for us to figure out an alternate offensive". Jake then looks back on to the screen as he says: "I just wish I knew their point of entry, and when?". Once again, much to Jake's surprise, and everyone else in the room, one of the clan leaders speak, precisely the one that just a minute ago was dosing off. Jake for once thought the drowsy man was not alert of the situation, but instead the man tells the crowd as he walks closer to Jake and the screen behind him -in Na'vi-: "There seems to be a shallow path that leads from the sea directly into Hometree", he walks closer to the screen and points to it, the path seems like a continuous meandering narrow gorge which in fact does lead from Hometree and into the sea.

Norm, who has become well familiarized with the aerial images and Hometree itself, responds -in Na'vi-: "That's not possible, that's a river, they could never get through there, they would have to travel against the current". The clan leader looks directly at Norm and unexpectedly and to everyone's surprise responds: "That use to be a river, it mysteriously dried a long time ago, water does not flow through it anymore". Norm stays thoughtful, after a brief moment he tells Jake -in english-: "Of course, that's the old creek that ran next to Hometree, it must have dried up when they brought the tree down, or else ….. or else -he snaps his fingers as in discovery-, no wonder I keep finding water under the roots!, it's trying to seep right through" Jake simultaneously says in a more optimistic tone; "The old tree blocked its flow, it dried it up!".

There's silence, Jake momentarily thinks, after a brief moment he says: "I guess it makes sense, we may have no choice but to assume that's the entry point". Norm asks: "how will we know when they get there?"Jake responds: "We won't, we'll just have to go there and stand guard, and perhaps spread our reconnaissance further down the shoreline in both directions, in case we miss, I only wish we had the satellites!".

The Doctor, who has been listening, suddenly asks in loud voice: "Do you mean the Alliance satellites?" Max answers: "Yes, they mysteriously went off a few days ago, we can't reach them!". The Doctor quickly replies: "You should've said so before!". Norm, Jake and Max stare at each other in wonder, the Doctor immediately grabs Max's tablet computer, he begins to input all sorts of commands, Max and Norm look on, Jake gets closer to catch a glimpse, suddenly, a list of satellites appears in the monitor, they all read "off line" on red text, but soon enough, after the Doctor inputs some special secret codes, the text one by one turns green as it reads "on line", "on line", "on line". The Doctor restores all of the satellite communications, since as it turns out, he was the one that had disabled them to begin with just a few days back, as ordered by Joe White.

Norm and Max giggle in joy and wonder, Jake immediately asks the Doctor:" Can you get images of the Ocean Base?". The Doctor begins to type in more commands as he says: "I can try, but first we need to find it". Jake thinks and quickly tells Max:"Max, pull up the image on the Island we looked at the other day". Max finds the image, it displays on the screen, Jake tells him to zoom out to show more of the ocean, enough to estimate where the base would theoretically be located. Jake senses the distance from the Island and into the base from his voyage by boat as a prisoner; he points towards the screen, he tells the Doctor:" should be somewhere around this quadrant, I'm not sure, it looks like the right distance". The Doctor, not sure as to where it could be located, orders images to be taken from all the surrounding quadrants. Jake asks:" how long for any images?" the Doctor replies: "it looks like the first satellite to cross through will take ,let's see, well, looks like a few hours at least". Jake replies: "Good, gives us some time to go check out the shoreline by the river delta".

Jake gets up, he now addresses everyone in the room -in Na'vi-: "Brothers, I will fly to the shores where the river meets the sea, who will fly with me?" The clan leaders all raise their hands in support of Jake, as they will follow him on his mission to scan the shores, Jake turns back to the Doctor and discretely asks: "Doc, is there enough fuel in the Samson?".
