How far back do you think I should read??

Reading everything up to now is a must (eventually), theres a lot of story in there. But if you need to get the gist, about ~6 pages into Ch. 2 should do the trick for jumping in, you can catch up later.

Could you give me a brief(ish) summery of what has happened while I read those pages?

Well, there we go then!  ;)


As for what came before...

The story takes place 2 years before the events in the movie "Avatar". The starship Lightning Star arrived and brought a bunch of people who seem to have been mysteriously rushed through training-- not that they knew it at the time. Some were people brought to Pandora by Dr. Warren Childs, a man who has felt slighted in his past and eclipsed by the well-known and popular Dr. Grace Augustine.

However, other people who were not friends of Dr. Childs were also rushed through training-- a group called the Environment Freedom Front took advantage of the situation and got a bunch of "wild card" types that they hoped would be willing & able to foil what was coming-- Childs was planning to seize control of Hell's Gate, presumably at the request of certain members of the RDA Board of Directors who wanted to shut down Augustine's popular news channel programs about Pandora so they could be free to rape the environment without anyone knowing what was going on.

Childs found out about the group and triedto kill them while they were out at a visit to Kelutral, but they survived because the pilot, Jax, was better than they'd given credit for. The group of humans and Avatars both stayed with the Omatikaya, hidden by the tribe who figured that anyone the RDA didn't like couldn't be all bad-- and by a sign from the atokirina that these people were to have a special destiny.

Now, they have tried to blend in with the Omatikaya without drawing too much RDA attention to themselves... to varying degrees of success. Now, they have discovered a plot in lands to the north, where one of their Na'vi friends, Tseylian, comes from. They are headed north to help her out while also getting away from Kelutral for fear of bringing the RDA down on the tribe.

And that's it in a nutshell so far. But the actual plot, drama, characters, etc are far, far better reading. It really is more fun to actually read it than to hear about. Not that any of us are biased in any way!  ;)

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

No one's killed you off mate, jump right back in. You're gonna have to bust out of the mobile site though, because last I remember we sent you there.

Coyote

For those left back at the Remote Site, we have enough people to do alternate adventures, or go back & forth with the Omatikaya. I left Na'ama there and a few others specifically so we could start up some "meanwhile, back at the ranch" type stuff if desired.

Plus remember the big new toy Childs was working on? It'll come on-line really soon. And there will be a challenge.  :-X

-grins- Sure thing.

How about you have him come into Medical Bay 2 in Hells Gate, looking for a patch up of his hand or something like that? Something simple and quick-healing.

How about the people at the remote site having put oscy in a medically induced coma, so they could study his brain patterns. After all, something really weird happened to him.

This might need a 3-way collab post. Gimme a shout once you've got a rough idea of the next hijinks.

That is actually a very good explanation. Are you ready to have his arms working again, or...?

yup. second reason to have him put into a coma. That way, people can do extensive nerve surgery.
