“Entry three. It's been about a week since I've made a log entry.” He looks around the Vlink chamber. It was spacious for an avatar sized body with a large table on each end for avatars that were not linked, one table was in use.
“The avatars that have chosen to remain with the clan are falling into place well, most of their teachers have taken a liking to their new students. With a few exceptions. Those are the ones that lost family and friends in the War and the destruction of the old Hometree. I am sad for them for their loss but they will get over it.
“So we're all moved in now, a fully functioning clan once more. I am glad, their minds are back to daily tasks rather than the sadness of so much death. All of the Na'vi have been found and buried by the customs of their respective clans, as have their pa'li and ikran. So much loss. It makes me sick that I was born a member of that species and not this one.
“So, you may notice a difference in my location, I am in one of the avatar link pods placed not too far from the old school where doctor Grace taught the Omatikaya and learned from them. Neytiri showed me Sylwanin's grave just this morning and that also made me sad. Killing in war is one thing, when there is a purpose, a reason. But to kill mere children is just disgusting.”
He turned his head and ears towards the door, having heard someone coming up the stairs and it opened then closed. Neytiri walked over to her mate and sat in his lap side saddle wrapping her arms around him. “Are you alright my love?” she kissed him on his brow.
“Yeah, just making a VLog.” He turned to face the camera once more after giving her a soft kiss and putting an arm around her shoulders. “Our tech at Hell's Gate has informed me that he has picked up the beacons of the other RDA ships inbound, turns out there are three in convoy formation and at an extreme speed. I had no idea that they could get upwards of ninety percent of light speed. He says they will be here in two to three months. He also told me that the Venture Star has stopped in deep space just outside Alpha Centauri A's system near the belt.”
He had a look of worry on his face for a brief moment before sighing, taking a deep breath and then continuing. “So we are going to begin training with the blank rounds on the avatar rifles and in other military skills. The students will be the teachers. My scouts have located a large enough utral near Hell's Gate that we may observe what is happening within the walls at a distance.
“With three fully manned and equipped ships inbound I have no idea what to expect. I am beginning to think that Quaritch jumped the gun on this one, that these ships, this convoy, was to be the true attacking force. Which also leads me to believe that it will be mainly military oriented rather than mining. With Site A nearly depleted from what my personal remaining advisers at the Gate tell me, they were going to push to Site B, that site being the location of the old Hometree.” Neytiri sobbed for the briefest of seconds placing her forehead on his shoulder, memories flooding her mind.
He turned to her once more and kissed her. “I won't let anything happen to the clan, or you, ma muntxate.” The camera angle was not enough to show that he moved his hand softly to her belly. I won't let anything happen to the baby.”
He shut off the camera.
