0_0 -_- 0_0 i thought trudi and Tsu'tey both died ?? or am i misinterpreting stuff

0_0 -_- 0_0 i thought trudi and Tsu'tey both died ?? or am i misinterpreting stuff

Its his own interpretation, where they managed to save both of them 

[archaic]

Oh, I thought you were referencing some kind of overthrow conspiracy within the Omatikaya, my bad. I guess I misread.

Noeees, Na'vi are nice and kind and don't do assassinations, only the nasty evil humans do that.

0_0 -_- 0_0 i thought trudi and Tsu'tey both died ?? or am i misinterpreting stuff

If you read from the beginning it is all explained, well more kind of hinted at. Scene 7 is the one you want (second post on page two).

I'm kinda thinking about copy-pasting this into a Word document when its done so I can read it when ever I want. You mind if I do that archaic?

[Ikranä mokri]

ahhh interesting, this could make for some very interesting developments (although a cool flashback/sidenote would be how they were both saved, thats if you want my opinion as a writer)

Go right ahead.

ahhh interesting, this could make for some very interesting developments (although a cool flashback/sidenote would be how they were both saved, thats if you want my opinion as a writer)

If I was writing this as a book, I would have, but as a movie script, I left it just hinted at to save running time.
Did you see this thread?
http://forum.learnnavi.org/avatar-2/who-died-and-who-survived/

Human troops & AMP's are dropped off before the bombing run starts, the Direhorse riders have some distance to travel from the tree of souls area to reach them, Tsu'tey falls from the dragon late in the bombing run maybe as much as 20-30km from the ground battle.
Could a human soldier really have reached him that quickly? How? (and why would he break all his bones as in the script?)
It was a moving scene, just too implausible, I felt it was right to cut it.
But in the scene where the aliens are being loaded into the shuttle, Jake is wearing Tsu'tey's choker and necklace combo, so they have met since the battle.

[archaic]

Here's another shortish one.

Scene 19

Spoiler

Hells Gate, Bio Lab
Much of the equipment is gone, benches are pretty much bare. but there is some equipment.
An unnamed science type in a lab coat is by a microscope, Lars Pope walks up.
Lars "Well, what did you find?"
Scientist "Science is about observation. I can tell you what I have found, just don't ask me for a how or a why."
Scientist gestures to look down the microscope.
Scientist "Blood sample, nothing unusual so far, so I get the DNA sequenced, nothing unusual there either. I send enough of the profile back to earth, to see if they can find a match. They do."
Scientist taps at a view screen, then turns it toward Lars.
Scientist "Stephan Iolanthy Cartwright, known as Steve. Left high school having failed to graduate, bit of a loner. No close living family now. Worked as a cleaner. In the same place for 35 years, colleagues describe him as not overly bright, not to good with his hands. Struggled to change a light bulb according to one co-worker. Now heres the interesting bit: He worked in a maintenance hanger. The same maintenance hanger that as the replacement shuttle was prepped in. It gets better, the only close family was his mother. She died in the early hours of the morning, the same day as the shuttle was signed off. He was told of her death at lunch break, and was given the rest of the shift off." pauses for effect "He failed to collect his mothers body, in fact nobody has seen him since lunch time that day."
Scientist walks over to the electron microscope.
Scientist "But before they sent me all that I found something else strange. This works by putting things in a vacuum. the sample of human blood I put in here should have stayed human blood, it didn't I got an oily substance with out defined cell form. I went to lunch to think about this, and while in hells kitchen I over hear a few people talking about what happened in the control tower."
Scientist walks back to the microscope, removes the slide.
"After lunch I rigged up a chamber with a microscope in side,"
Gestures to the plastic bag with a microscope inside it has been taped up so the eye pieces poke out of the bag.
"and slipped in the sample of human blood,"
He slips in the slide and tapes up the hole and sucks the air form the bag with a pump, The tube is already connected.
"and filled the bag with pandoran atmosphere."
He flicks a manual valve on a hose that winds across the lab to a fitting on the outside wall bellow a window, and turns the pump back on, in the opposite direction, the bag fills, he kills the pump.
"Now look"
Lars looks down this microscope.
Lars "It looks different."
Scientist "That's Na'vi blood."
Lars looks at the scientist.
Scientist "I rigged the sequencer the same way, recovered a viable Na'vi profile. Doesn't match any one in our data base though."
Lars "So what does it actually mean?"
Scientist "Search me! As I said, don't ask me for a how or a why."
Lars "Best guess?"
Scientist "We are dealing with some sort of alien who is able to change their appearance in order to to blend in with the indigenous, and probably has very highly advanced technology."
Lars looks at the scientist as if he's looking at a mad man "I'm sorry, that might fit with what little we know, more or less. But I just find that scenario rather....."
Lars hesitates for an instant ".....far fetched."
Scientist incredulously lowers his eyebrows, "Do you?"

Camera pulls back, right back, and suddenly we are no longer in the lab with lars and the scientist, but watching them on a wall sized view screen in the pandoran humans new base. Max Patel is watching, so is human Norm, Trudy with a 5 year old Esparenza, Bill, Stan, a couple of the other flight tech's, Jake in an endopack and Steve (the shape shifting alien, cleaner impersonator, stowaway and replacement outcast). 
Max stops the play back.
Steve "All it takes is a good sniff of the atmosphere, the change is automatic. If I don't want to change, I hold my breath. That usually works, and as this doesn't require air I can hold it pretty much indefinitely."
All look the him.
Steve "Pity they didn't add sea water to the slide too."
Max "Why's that?"
Steve "They'd get Bottlenose DNA."
All look at Steve like he's on some thing.
Steve looks round at the others "We're a marine creature, we have more affinity with Dolphins than we do with humans, plus we both use echolocation. Eye's aren't much use when you evolve in 24/7 total darkness."
Long pause as the humans and Jake take this on board.
Steve, to Stan, "I brought you a present,"
Steve hold up a bag, and takes out a stretchy net sleeve "wrap these over your electronics, should provide at least partial protection from the flux."
Steve hands Stan the bag, "There's a hundred to get you started, plenty more where they came from."
Trudy "Will it give us missile lock?"
Steve "I can't be 100% sure, but it should do. At least a fair bit deeper into the vortex than the Earthlings can manage."
Stan "I'd still be happier if we could run unmanned."
Steve takes a small pouch from some where. "This is my second, and I'm afraid, last gift."
Two thin flat pieces, half an inch square "A micro pocket of stable folded space, kind of like a worm hole, you should be able to broadcast data into one and it'll come out of the other in real time. No interference from the vortex. They are much harder and much, much slower to make, but you'll have a at least couple more before this all kicks off. Have fun." He says as he hands them over.
Jake, slightly disappointed "So no ray guns then."
Steve laughs "No. I'm a deep cover field researcher, not a one man alien invasion fleet. I have a few bits technology, but that's it, no weapons. Not here any way."
Jake "But you had some on earth?"
Steve "A modified geological sampling device, handy, but not very powerful."  Looks at the floor in shame, deep sigh, with genuine remorse "I'm sorry, but that's how the real Stephan Cartwright met his end."
There is another long pause.
Bill "And his mother?"
Steve shakes his head, wipes away a tear "No, I kept her alive for months. I'm not a murderer, but I don't have my own transport, it was the only way I could get here."
Jake "You said you fought in our wars."
Steve nods, "In the heat of war is one thing, but pure premeditated cold blooded murder of a total stranger is not the same." Long pause "And Jake, what we saw in that church in venezuela will haunt me for the rest of my life too," Turns to look Jake in the eye "but for what it's worth you did the right thing in there. That took courage."

[Kätsyín te Zotxekay Tsyal’itan]

That's short.  Kidding.

I just realized Peyral, would that be the same Peyral that Neytiri references as the good hunter in the Tree of Voices scene in the movie?

[Muzer]

I'm really getting into this now - don't know how I managed to get so confused about it before, I'm obviously just a skxawng

Can't think of any criticism of the most recent chapters! Keep them coming!

Don't worry, it took me this long to realize that Peyral had been mentioned in the movie. LOL.

[archaic]

would that be the same Peyral that Neytiri references as the good hunter in the Tree of Voices scene in the movie?

Yes it is.

How bad is this?.... :-

I've edited so many things in and out, reworked parts of it over and over too. I now can't remember if I mentioned Tsu'Tey is with Peyral before. I'll just have to go back and read my own script!


Edit: I reread script and find the answer.


Yes I have (Scene 11).

[archaic]

Another scene, this is the first scene that I have written purely on screen, without any notes.
There is some more setting up for Avatar 3 in there too.


Scene 20

Spoiler

Hells Gate, maintenance hall.
Main outside doors are closed. The area has human air. Lars and the Chief engineer are walking together, there is lots of noise coming from one end of the bay. There are a dozen C21's, a dozen Samsons, and a dozen Scorpions. 1 of the mine dump trucks has been out fitted as a troop transporter.
Chief engineer "We're nearly ready to go, parts and ammunition have been replaced, there's well over 300 tons of Unobtainium on board the promethius."
Lars "Excellent, how soon can we go to phase two?"
Chief "End of the month, but I'm still not sold on this. We lost last time, with more men and equipment than we have now. And they've had 6 years to train and prepare."
Lars "Your point?"
Chief engineer "All the equipment and ordnance Parker and co left behind is missing. No prizes for guessing where it went."
Lars "There was one working Samson when Parker withdrew."
Chief engineer "So that's the word for it now. Stan stayed behind, damn fine engineer Stan."
Lars "Stanislav Korienski is just one man, and any way how many aircraft can he put in the air? They have only one pilot. And he has no combat experience. Ikran are the aerial threat, not aircraft."
Chief engineer "Nine aircraft technicians stayed behind, and they have two pilots, Bill and Trudy Chaccon. Plus they could have trained more."
Lars "Trudy Chaccon is dead, she was killed in the fighting, no ifs, no buts. She's dead."
Chief engineer "I thought so too, but she was picked up on the camera we installed in Hegners Avatar, it's a positive identification. It's given us some good intel, that camera."
The two approach a large black guy in camo gear from behind, he is in the lotus position and appears to be meditating. Camera swings round to look past Magnus at the approaching Lars and the chief engineer.
Chief engineer "And any way if you are so confident we will win this why are you prepping the deuterium station to take the cryo units?"
Magnus, eyes still closed "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
Chief engineer "Baden Powell?"
Magnus screws his face in disgust, but doesn't yet open his eyes "Benjamin Franklin." Magnus open his eyes, turns and looks at the two.
Magnus "This is not going to be a walk in the park but it is perfectly winnable. We have the element of surprise. We know exactly what we are dealing with, and if Jake has trained them all to be blue stripy marines, then at least we know what they are trained in. And now we have sat imaging back on line we can see they do not have the backing of the other clans, not that they counted for much last time. It was the fauna that gave Miles a hard time. And this time, we have the right ammo to deal with it."
Lars, "Not to mention the twelve C21's, they should make quite a difference."
Chief engineer "There was an airframe for another C21 left behind, So I think we can assume they'll have one."
Camera cuts to the maintenance bay control room. It is empty, stripped bare, two workers are repairing the wiring under one of the grid floor sections.
1st "Oh shoot."
2nd "What you found?"
1st points to a small box, around a half an inch square, its wired into the main trunking.
1st "What does that look like to you?"
2nd "Another one. They were busy."
1st "How long did they have?"
Magnus, Lars and the chief engineer enter.
Lars "Objection duly noted, but the existing mine site is effectively exhausted, we need to relocate."
Chief engineer "Granted all the easily available material has been extracted, but there is still plenty in that pit, it just needs...."
Lars interrupts "We have our instructions. Fill promethius from the existing mine, then move to the secondary location and open up the site, the over burden will be used to fill the existing mine. It gets landscaped and we prepare the site for settlers from earth."
they walk across the room, avoiding where floor sections are missing.
Lars "How big a problem do you expect from shape shifting Steve?"
Magnus "Not sure, had to use us to get here, didn't kill us all when they had the opportunity. Have we found anything else about them?"
Lars "Earth followed up on a trail, some one went into Steve's apartment block a couple of hours before he got home on the night before, and wasn't seen leaving. We don't know who they are, no facial ident matches. He was tracked some way back to a busy maglev station. He came out of the can, but we can't find him going in, couple of minutes before Reinhardt Twain Willhelmsen did go in, and he hasn't been seen since."
Magnus "Hell!"
Chief engineer "Who's this 'Rhinehardt Twain Willhelmsen' then?"
Magnus "Assistant to De Wolf Dasilver, Reinhardt personally over saw the design phase for the next gen ISV's. Didn't have any hands on, but they'll know exactly what's coming. Down to every last rivet."
The three leave the two workers alone in the stripped control room. we hear their voices as they make their way down a flight of stairs behind the room.
Chief engineer "I didn't know that. Can we postpone their departure?"
Lars "Already on route, left over a month ago."
Door in the corridor bangs shut behind them.
The two workers look at each other for a moment.
1st worker "I'm not over confident about what's coming."
He picks up a pair of cutters, cuts one of the wires on the device. All the power across the whole of Hells Gate fails. Quick micro montage of pieces of equipment powering down, lights going out, cut to total black.
Voice of 1st worker "Crap."
Emergency lights come on, fading on like some one is using a dimmer switch.
2nd "We're gunna get our butts kicked out there."
Out in the bay some one breaths out nosily, "That explains why you let me spend time with the Omatikaya." Hegner climbs out of one of the C21's runs to the office area behind the amp storage/maintenance, past 11 amp suits there is one gap in the row. Past a selection of parts of amp suit bits, the limbs seemingly ripped off, and the canopy twisted, the flat bullet proof glass smashed. Hegner finds a piece of paper and a pen. He starts writing.

[archaic]

Another scene, another short one, again all written on screen, no notes.


Scene 21

Spoiler

A Hospital private room.
Wainfleet is struggling into a Tux, the pants are a real pain, he slips off his bed and into a wheel chair, an expensive one. A small rda logo on each wheel center, they remain right way up as the wheel turned. he folds forward and starts to tie his shoes, there is a knock on the door. Wainfleet wheels over to it, he's not as skilled in it as Jake Sully was, he opens the door.
A Suit "Your ride is here"
He wheels along the corridor to the lift which is being held open for him. The doors close he folds forward again and finishes tying his shoes.

A hotel room.
Pasha is being helped into a black cocktail dress by Bethany.
Bethany "I still think just a touch of eye liner."
Pasha gives Bethany a withering look, then taps the plastic visor of her endopack, "Besides Na'vi women don't use make up."
Bethany "You bought that perfume."
Pasha "When in Rome."
Bethany "But not the eyeliner."
Pasha "No."
Bethany "Fine. Your done. Give us a twirl then."
Pasha stands up and gives a twirl she looks amazing. Pasha looks down at Bethany "Nice of them to get rooms with ceilings the proper height."
Bethany "That was me, I insisted on it."
Pasha"Well thank you then. Your turn."
Bethany slips into her matching black cocktail dress. She looks good in it, but there is no avoiding the fact that she is almost 4 feet shorter than Pasha.
Pasha "Shall we go?"
Bethany "Are you sure about this? I didn't get an invite."
Pasha "Positive, I called and sorted it."
now in Na'vi "I need a translator, everyone knows I don't speak english."
Bethany giggles, in Na'vi "No of course you don't."
Now back in english, "Besides I could do with the company."
Bethany "It's a really big room full of people."
There is a knock on the door, pasha reaches across and opens it. It's a suit.
Camera shows the suits point of view.
Another Suit "Your ride ... is .. . .  .   here . . . . " he trails off as he looks up at pasha.
Pasha smiles and blows him a kiss. In Na'vi no subtitles "We'll be there when we are good and ready." Looks at Bethany.
Bethany smiles "We'll be there in a moment."
Camera view is out in the Corridor looking into the room.
Suit closes the door, looking shocked. From behind the door we hear both Women laugh.
Bethany in Na'vi, no subtitles "Did you see his face?"
Pasha in english "I know."
The two laugh again as the suit walks away.

[archaic]

Scene 22

Spoiler

We see the same distorted vision that we saw when we saw Jake wake up in his avatar the first time.
Cindy "Jake, Jake, can you hear me? Can you hear me Jake?"
A bright flashlight shines into the camera.
Bill "Occular reflex good."
Cindy "How you feeling Jake?
A pair of pink hands reaches in front of the camera.
Camera changes to look at Jake still looking at his new human hands.
Human Jake "Hey guys, do you ever get déjà vu?"
Max "Welcome to your new body Jake."
Jake sits up gently
Max "Are you going to behave this time?"
Jake "I notice you didn't bring my chair."
Bill "No."
Jake "So I cant run off this time?"
Max "Exactly. Now are you going to behave this time or not?"
Jake "Think I know my way around my own body."
Cindy "But it isn't, it's an avatar. It just looks like your old body, the scars, the tatt's, even the paraplegia we had to re-do them all, just to make it convincing."
Jake "I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but was the paralysis really necessary"
Max "I'm afraid so Jake."
Jake looks to the other two, they both nod.
Bill "Sorry Jake."
Jake slightly angry, "Fine. Look I can touch my thumbs to my fingers. See?"
Jake touches his fingers to his thumbs.
Jake still annoyed, but calmer "Would you like me to pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time? Or how about I field strip an assault rifle with my eye's closed?"
Max "Chair."
Cindy brings the wheel chair, it was hidden in the airlock. Jake looks at the chair, then at the three, then at the chair again. After a moment he sighs deeply, and slides himself on to it. He wheels himself round the room a few times, lifts the front wheel off the floor and balances.
Jake "Happy now?"
Max "How do you feel."
Jake "Do you want me to be honest? Trust me you don't want to know. Three minutes ago I could walk."
Pauses total silence fills the room, Jake sighs
Jake calm now "Being stuck in this thing is like a prison sentence, it changes you, and how people treat you. But in time you kinda get used to it. I got used to it. Then I get a new body, OK its blue and stripy, and the face in the mirror isn't quite what I grew up with. But absolutely none of that matters. I can walk again, I'm me again." pause "Now I've got my old reflection back, but it's not me. It's like the last six years where a dream, the best dream ever. Now I've got the nasty feeling that it was only a dream."
Long pause.
Jake, looks up at his three human companions, now on the edge of tears "I'm terrified. I know it was real, but I'm finding it hard to believe."
Max "It wasn't a dream, it is all real, Neytiri is real, you do live in a tree with the Omatikaya, you can walk. This, this is not real. You are a ten foot high blue stripy creature with a tail, and a blue stripy misses. Damn it Jake, don't go to pieces on me now."

Avatar Hegner is in a samson, it flys across the forest, sweeps in and lands in a clearing, he climbs out, he gesture to the pilot to kill the engine, pinches his throat mike.
Hegner "I'll be around two hours."
He looks at his watch, a normal human sized analogue watch has had it segmented metal strap sewn to a bead decorated leather strap, so that it now fits his avatar's wrist. The rotors spool down as he walks away.

Omatikaya new hometree.
Trudy in an exopack and Neytiri are preparing the fish from earlier.
Trudy in Na'vi with subtitles "... And you haven't seen him at all since you caught these first thing this mourning?"
Neytiri "No, he's not normally far away, not for long anyway, I wonder what he's up to."
Trudy "I have a feeling should know, something I can't put my finger on."
Jake comes running up to Neytiri, she stands as he gets close, Jake gives Neytiri a massive hug, squeezing her tight for several seconds. He relaxes his grip just enough and kisses her on the neck, then he pulls away slightly and looks deep into her eye's.
Jake in english "I need you to know. I love you so much, I never want us to be apart, not ever. You are the best thing that ever happened to me, the best thing that could ever happen to me."
Jake kisses her passionately on the lips, then hugs her again.
The whole clan have stopped what they are doing and are watching.
Peyral to Tsu'tey in Na'vi "How come you never say any thing like that to me?"
Tsu'tey also in Na'vi "Must be a human thing."
Peyral gives him a look.

Avatar Hegner walks up Jake.
Hegner "Hello Jakesully, brother, I have some," he drops something changes to english "Oh rats" He looks at the floor, there are some tiny beads, he picks them up one by one, but he is waving a small piece of card in his hand behind is back. On it is written simply 'Jake', Jake takes it and Hegner squats down and busily picks up more of the beads Jake turns it over.
'I am wearing a wire, Lars can see what I see, hear what I hear. I don't know when this was fitted, I am sorry, I had no idea. Hide this from me and touch me on the shoulder when it is safe to stand up.'
Jake shows it to trudy, she reads it. she looks at Jake, as cool as it gets "Jeeze. Is that the time? I need find Stan, see if that Scorpion will ever fly again. He's had what, six years now?" Trudy stashes the note in a pocket, gives Jake another look and walks away nonchalantly.
Jake touches Hegner on the shoulder, he stands, and pours the beads he has collected into Jakes palm,
Hegner "I'm sorry."
Jake "It's Ok, really don't worry about it. It's not your fault."
Hegner "I'll go back, see if I can find any more beads."
Hegner walks away.
Neytiri "What..."
Jake drops the beads and places his fore finger across his lips, and holds it there until he is sure Hegner is too far away to hear.
Jake "They put something inside him so they could spy on us."
Neytiri "I thought they might."
Jake "You knew?"
Neytiri "I had a feeling."

I did mention it was going to run to more than 22 scenes?


Scene 23

Spoiler

Tall corridor.

The corridor is 15 feet high and around the same width, around 200 feet long. A series of doors in one wall at floor height, the doors in the opposite wall are 4 feet up with steps leading to them. They are chained and locked shut. A row of old fashioned looking light fittings hang from the high ceiling, one is out. The corridor is empty, apart from a large solid heavy looking table which sits against on wall, a chair to one side of it, and an empty waste bin on the other side.
The floor height doors open and a large crowd files out, chatting among them selves about this and that. All are wearing formal attire. All head out of the doors at either end. Some of the last to appear are a guy in a wheel chair at one end of the corridor, and Bethany. Bethany leans against the far side wall, waiting. moments later, the crowd thinning Pasha deep in conversation in Na'vi with De Wolf Dasilver.
De Wolf Dasilver, in Na'vi, no subtitles "Well I am very happy to have met you at last, may the all mother smile apon our next meeting also. Eywa be with you."
They shake hands.
Pasha also in Na'vi, no subtitles "Eywa be with you."
As the tall slim man walks away, a waiter comes into the corridor, looks at Pasha, then Talks to Bethany.
Waiter "I regret I must inform you, your ride has been delayed, ETA around ten to fifteen minutes."
Bethany to Pasha in Na'vi, with subtitles "Will's got lost again."
Pasha to Bethany in Na'vi, with subtitles "Nothing new then."
Bethany to the waiter "Thank you, is it alright to wait here?"
Waiter "Um, sure."
There is the sound of breaking glass from the other side of the open doors, the waiter winces.
Waiter "Forgive me."
Waiter disappears via the nearest open door.
The guy in the wheel chair reappears at the end of the corridor, and makes his way to Bethany and Pasha. It's Wainfleet.
Pasha sits down on the table, its the perfect height to be a chair for her. Bethany climbs the steps and sits on the top step, her head almost at the same height as Pasha's.
Wainfleet arrives "Kaltee." in bad Na'vi, no subtitles.
Pasha and Bethany together in proper Na'vi, no subtitles "Kxalti."
Pause.
Wainfleet "I'm Lyle, I heard a rumor you can speak English."
The last guests leave the corridor, they are alone.
Pasha in Na'vi, with no subtitles "These stories speak with the voice of a demon."
Bethany translates.
Wainfleet "Six years ago, on one of the tours, some guy basically accuses you of being a monster, you bit his head off. In English, I met some one who was on that tour."
Bethany and Pasha exchange looks.
Pasha leans forward, looks both ways along the corridor, quietly "OK, busted, but you do not tell another living soul."
A youngish man, in overalls, appears at the doors at the nearer end. Walking backwards he's pulling a set of library steps, the steps look very old, and not very safe. As he gets close a new bulb is visible in his pants pocket.
Pasha looks at Bethany, Pasha stands. The 'out' bulb is pretty much right above her, she reaches up easily, unscrews the bulb and places it on the table. Holds out her hand. The guy is taken aback, but hands over the new bulb. Pasha screws it in, it comes on as she does.
Overalls guy "Umm, thanks."
Pasha sits down, looks at the old bulb before dropping it in the waste bin.
Pasha in English "Don't mention it."
Bethany automatically translates this into Na'vi the overall guy looks more confused.
Pasha "If you bought better bulbs they would last longer."
Again Bethany automatically translates this into Na'vi the overall guy looks even more confused.
Overall guy "I've been saying that for years."
He turns, and wheels his steps away. When he has gone Bethany and Pasha burst out laughing.
Pasha to Wainfleet "OK, So what did you want to talk about?"
Wainfleet "Me and you have some thing in common."
Pasha "That we are both only here because it suits the RDA?"
Wainfleet "Pretty much."
Pasha "Go on."
Wainfleet "Do you miss it, Pandora."
Pasha "Pretty much every waking minute, but I have friends here, so it's not so bad really."
A suit opens the door at the far end of the corridor and shouts "C21 waiting for corporal Lyle Wainfleet?"
Wainfleet calls out "Coming."
Pasha pulls out a business card and hands in to Wainfleet, he looks at it, goes to put it in a pocket, then looks at it again.
Wainfleet "Doctor Pasha?"
Bethany "Phd's in biology and theoretical medicine, Msc in exobiology. She's way more qualified than I am."
Pasha leans forward and say's quietly "I got sick of being told the doctors knew best, and being told what I could and couldn't do."
Bethany "If you can't beat them join them."
Suit at the far end of the corridor shouts "We leave in two!"
Pasha also in Na'vi "Eywa be with you."
Wainfleet unsure "Err, and with you."
He wheels his chair to the suit and disappears as the door closes.
Pasha in Na'vi "I wonder what he really wanted?"
Bethany shrugs "Absolution?"

I did mention it was going to run to more than 22 scenes?


Scene 23

Spoiler

Tall corridor.

The corridor is 15 feet high and around the same width, around 200 feet long. A series of doors in one wall at floor height, the doors in the oposite wall are 4 feet up with steps leading to them. They are chained and locked shut. A row of old fashoned looking light fittings hang from the high cieling, one is out. The corridor is empty, apart from a large solid heavy looking table which sits against on wall, a chair to one side of it, and an empty waste bin on the other side.
The floor height doors open and a large crowd files out, chatting amog them selves about this and that. All are wearing formal atire. All head out of the doors at either end. Some of the last to apear are a guy in a wheel chair at one end of the corridor, and Bethany. Bethany leans against the far side wall, waiting. moments later, the crowd thinning Pasha deep in conversaton in Na'vi with De Wolf Dasilver.
De Wolf Dasilver, in Na'vi, no subtitles "Well I am very happy to have met you at last, may the all mother smile apon our next meeting also. Eywa be with you."
They shake hands.
Pasha also in Na'vi, no subtitles "Eywa be with you."
As the tall slim man walks away, a waiter comes into the corridor, looks at Pasha, then Talks to Bethany.
Waiter "I regret I must inform you, your ride has been delayed, ETA around ten to fifteen minutes."
Bethany to Pasha in Na'vi, with subtitles "Will's got lost agian."
Pasha to Bethany in Na'vi, with subtitles "Nothing new then."
Bethany to the waiter "Thank you, is it alright to wait here?"
Waiter "Um, sure."
There is the sound of breaking glass from the other side of the open doors, the waiter winces.
Waiter "Forgive me."
Waiter disapears via the nearest open door.
The guy in the wheel chair reapears at the end of the corridor, and makes his way to Bethany and Pasha. It's Wainfleet.
Pasha sits down on the table, its the perfect height to be a chair for her. Bethany climbs the steps and sits on the top step, her head almost at the same height as Pasha's.
Wainfleet arives "Kaltee." in bad Na'vi, no subtitles.
Pasha and Bethany together in proper Na'vi, no subtitles "Kxalti."
Pause.
Wainfleet "I'm Lyle, I heard a rumor you can speak english."
The last guests leave the corridor, they are alone.
Pasha in Na'vi, with no subtitles "These stories speak with the voice of a demon."
Bethany translates into english.
Wainfleet "Six years ago, on one of the tours, some guy basically acuses you of being a monster, you bit his head off. In english, I met some one who was on that tour."
Bethany and Pasha exchange looks.
Pasha leans forward, looks both ways along the corridor, quietly "OK, busted, but you do not tell another living soul."
A youngish man, in overalls, appears at the doors at the nearer end. Walking backwards he's pulling a set of library steps, the steps look very old, and not very safe. As he gets close a new bulb is visable in his pants pocket.
Pasha looks at Bethany, Pasha stands. The 'out' bulb is pretty much right above her, she reaches up easily, unscrews the bulb and places it on the table. Holds out her hand. The guy is taken aback, but hands over the new bulb. Pasha screws it in, it comes on as she does.
Overalls guy "Umm, thank's."
Pasha sits down, looks at the old bulb before dropping it in the waste bin.
Pasha in english "Don't mention it."
Bethany automatically translates this into Na'vi the overall guy looks more confused.
Pasha "If you bought better bulbs they would last longer."
Again Bethany automatically translates this into Na'vi the overall guy looks even more confused.
Overall guy "I've been saying that for years."
He turns, and wheels his steps away. When he has gone Bethany and Pasha burst out laughing.
Pasha to Wainfleet "OK, So what did you want to talk about?"
Wainfleet "Me and you have some thing in common."
Pasha "That we are both only here because it suits the RDA?"
Wainfleet "Pretty much."
Pasha "Go on."
Wainfleet "Do you miss it, Pandora."
Pasha "Pretty much every waking minute, but I have friends here, so it's not so bad really."
A suit opens the door at the far end of the corridor and shouts "C21 waiting for corporal Lyle Wainfleet?"
Wainfleet calls out "Coming."
Pasha pulls out a business card and hands in to Wainfleet, he looks at it, goes to put it in a pocket, then looks at it again.
Wainfleet "Doctor Pasha?"
Bethany "Phd's in biology and theoretical medicine, Msc in exobiology. She's way more qualified than I am."
Pasha leans forward and say's quietly "I got sick of being told the doctors knew best, and being told what I could and couldn't do."
Bethany "If you can't beat them join them."
Suit at the far end of the corridor shouts "We leave in two!"
Pasha also in Na'vi "Eywa be with you."
Wainfleet unsure "Err, and with you."
He wheels his chair to the suit and disappears as the door closes.
Pasha in Na'vi "I wonder what he really wanted?"
Bethany shrugs "Absolution?"

Hmm, looks like our friend Lyle Wainfleet is doing pretty good for getting wrecked by a titanathor. I thought you were gonna introduce him in a full body cast instead of just a wheel chair
