I take a deep breath as I rush toward the cliff, my bare feet brushing through the grass and leaves, as I get to the edge I take one last step and leap off, diving down into the cool water, sinking fast as I look around at the beautiful surroundings, coral and fauna and creatures more fantastic than I had ever seen...

I groan as I wake up, head pounding, I look around at the small box I was in, people had told me I wouldn't dream in cryo but it seems they were wrong.

6 years, it didn't feel like it had been so long, I sigh softly and carefully climb out of my pod, floating in the zero gravity of the ship, I push myself up to my locker as the doctors wake everyone up and make sure everyone is alive and well.

As we land on my new home I pull on my mask and stand, the soldiers around me rushing off, I glance back seeing one of them setting up his wheelchair, shrugging to myself I head out, smiling widely as I see the wide expanse of forest over the walls of Hell's Gate.

Once inside the base I head for the briefing, knowing it would be boring. Once it was over I see Norm at the door, I smile and come over, gently shoving is arm jokingly "Hey Norm! I didn't see you on the drop ships and I was worried you didn't survive the trip" I joke, he smiles and shakes his head "I probably made it better than you did, the docs told me your cryo system failed half way through the trip and they had to get you on life support for a few days" I sigh and nod "I forgot about that, it sucked, and there weren't any good planets to see outside the ship so I was bored out of my mind, and they wouldn't let me wake you up" I say as we head toward the lab, he smirks "ahh miss me that much?" He teases, I gently punch his arm "ouch! No bruising! Can't be bruised for my first day" he huffed.

As we step into the lab I glance around us curiously, Norm talking with the man in the wheelchair, Jake I think his name was, the new recruit who's brother used to train and work with Norm.

I introduce myself to Max before he shows us into the room our Avatars were being decanted in, my heart jumps seeing them, I wander to mine excitedly as Norm shows Jake his, i watch her as she twitches and moves around a little, almost as if she was restless in that tank, my mind starts to wander as i watch her before Norm touches my shoulder, i nearly jump and look up to him, he smirks a bit "excited? Max says they should be ready to go tomorrow" I smile widely and nod "very excited"

Once i was settled into my bunk i join Norm and Jake to meet Grace Augustine, the writer of books on Pandora, and the one to start a school to teach the Na'vi english and to learn from them as well.

I raise my eyebrow a bit as she speaks with Norm for a moment before being a bit rude with Jake, she glances over me curiously "and who might you be?" She asks, not giving Max time to introduce me.

"My name is Rose Parker, I'm pretty new to the team, I've only really done about 30 hours in the simulations, i was assigned to the team right before we left six years ago, as an assistant for you and the other scientists" I explain, she groans and looks to max "is this a joke? He's sending me ex-soldiers and lab assistants? At this point their just pissing on us without even the courtesy of calling it rain. I'm going to Selfridge, this is such bullshit!" She growls as she heads off, max trying to stop her.

I snort a little "i mean she's not wrong" i murmur softly before heading back to my bunk, tired from the day and wanting some real rest.

There i am again, running through the beautiful Pandora wilderness, sprinting straight for the edge of the cliff, i take a deep breath and leap off the cliff, diving deep into the cool water, gorgeous plant life and creatures surrounding me as i swim down.

I gasp as I sit up in bed, covered in sweat, that same dream again, I've had that same dream for years now, over and over again, but its only gotten clearer over the years.

I take a quick shower and change in the locker rooms before heading down for breakfast, excited, this is the day, the day i finally get to see the forest for myself, the day i get to try my new body.

I finish breakfast quickly and head to the lab, Norm and Jake already there and dressed for the pods, i follow them and grace into the docking room as she points out each to tell us where to go, i open up mine and smile, touching the squishy green material on the inside before i hop up, sitting on the bed bit, grace comes over after she set up Jake "this will be interesting, just don't do anything stupid" she says seriously, i nod and lay down as she instructs, she pulls the metal frame down over me before the pod closes, i close my eyes and wait quietly.
