Planetshine's Space Odyssey Book 2

We entered a gate, door, whatever, it was sliding though, really nice, legit not lying. The inside was, uh, huge? Maybe not huge, looked huge, but ahh whatever, huge. There were signs are whatnot, blah blah, whatever. One led to I think the personal quarters, and Jake was around us. We all went to him, he looking strangely at us. We asked, 'Jake, what's this place?'

'Oh, just an RDA building, do you want a tour of this?' he replied.

We answered yes, and we had a full-on tour of the place. The place seemed great, or not, depending on where we were. The part I liked the most was the canteen and dining halls. They looked sweet, quite literally, as there were desserts on the counter, I so want to eat them, like so want to.

Great thing I snuck some, and also some food, which was definitely more like just asking them, and hey, the food was free, so I didn't steal. The food I stole was, good, only one problem, there was meat in it. As a pony, I wasn't supposed to eat meat, as us ponies eat vegan, or we are herbivores. When I realised it I was still eating it, but the meat tasted, uh, good. Good thing the others didn't see me eat it, they would think I'm crazy or something. Guess I might eat meat again, not sure.

We walked out, Jake going to his personal quarters. Looking around, I noticed something, another building, this time looking different. We trotted there to investigate, or look inside, that building. One thing, the building was smaller than I expected, but when we went inside, it was very, high tech is the word I would call it.

The inside had tanks and stuff and it also had Na'vi in it. They looked like they were mature, but they still had a cord attached to them, which made me think it was not a full grown one. Could the Na'vi be born like that, I mean, that would definitely hurt, right?

A human walked to us, right in front of us, looking down. She said, 'What are you small horse things, wait, where's my cigarette?'

'I don't know,' Flamerider said.

The human responded, 'I was talking to somebody else about the cigarette, also how the absolute fuck do you know English?'

'I don't know, since I learned it?' Flamerider replied, looking a bit nervous.

'Oh well, my name is Grace Augustine, I'm one of those xenobiologists, also part of the Avatar program, those things in the tanks.'

'Cool, what are they?' Sandbar asked.

'Na'vi, human hybrids, now you guys don't cause any trouble ok, I'll be going, bye.'

I looked at the first avatar. It looked exactly like the Na'vi, only with the cords. Other than that, they weren't very interesting, so we just walked out the building, a bit bored. Good thing for me I hid some snack packets in my mane. Yes, my mane was large enough to store 2 packets of chips or snacks or whatever. Flamerider, Lyra and Sandbar have also done the same, but only with one packet, I got 2, one for Starry.

Now that the exploration was over, it was time to head home. We kept the cards, just for future use and whatnot, and set off. Just before we left, I saw a few trucks pull in. And it was just huge, carrying some strange black material. We all aborted going home and went back into the RDA building to ask what it was.

Lyra went in first, looking around. We then went to one of those control rooms or whatever they were called and saw Grace. It was strange how we saw her in there, it was just by chance though. I asked her, 'Grace, so I saw some trucks outside, what were they carrying?'

She replied, 'Unobtanium, a type of material that is basically fuel, and why the absolute shit are you guys here?'

'Just asking, also, we're just exploring the place, can you tell us more, please,' I begged.

'Alright, alright, so the unobtanium is scattered around Pandora and there is a big deposit of one under a hometree of a Na'vi clan. So we are going to deploy an excavation mission on that tree in a while.'

'When?'

'In one week's time, and it's on the Omaticaya clan's tree.'

I gulped, they were going to send an attack or a mission on the tree, and the others seemed frightened. We went out, trying not to seem suspicious, and we started to go back to our home. I had no idea why the humans would do such bad things, we had to warn the Omaticaya clan right away.

Thank goodness we knew where they were, and where their hometree was, after all, they lived pretty close to us. We all flew down, with the exception of Sandbar and Lyra, Derpy was almost forgotten, still at home. I dropped Sandbar and Flamerider dropped Sandbar. I ran to one of the Na'vi, and warned them, 'The humans are going to launch an attack here. They are going to dig up your home tree.'

The Na'vi I was talking to then nodded his head and ran to the clan leader, or what I think he did. I decided not to follow, just so I don't get into any trouble or anything. Now that the clan would know about the attack, they should be fine, or not. We went back to our home, which was safe. There was another thing, keep our home safe. The tree was pretty close to our home, and a missile from the humans that headed our way would be devastating.

Derpy ran out, hugging us immediately. I don't know why, but she must've missed us, after all, she wasn't with us at all. That night, I had nightmares, what could the humans do to our neighbouring Na'vi, what woud happen to us, I guess we would never know until it comes.
