"Parker, wait. Stop! These are people you're about to~" Grace started, but Selfridge cut her off.

"No, they're fly-bitten savages who live in a tree! Alright, look around! I don't know about you but I see a lot of trees! They can move!" Selfridge snapped at Grace.

"For God's sake, there are children in there. Babies! Are you gonna kill children,"

"Look, Selfridge, you don't want this kind of blood on your hands. Let me try to talk them out. They trust me."

Selfridge pauses, considering this.

Selfridge and an escort of armed troopers accompany Jake, Nate, and Grace into the link room and to the links. The three enter their units, as Norm and Max prep the system.

"You've got one hour. Unless you want your girlfriend in there when the ax comes down, you get them to evacuate. One hour." Selfridge demands and Jake.

Jake lowers the upper clamshell. Norm starts the sequence. In Hometree, the entire clan is gathered, with Eytukan and Mo'at presiding. Jake looks around, feeling the gaze of the people upon him. He steels himself and speaks in clear Na' vi.

~𝘔𝘢'𝘌𝘺𝘵𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘯, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦.~ He speaks quickly.

~𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑙𝘪𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛,~ Grace pushes.

Ke'Kaya squeezes Nate's hand, and the male Avatar looks down at his mate with worried eyes. He squeezed her hand back, and she placed her second hand on his arm, hugging his arm to her body.

~𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘, 𝐽𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦,~ Eytukan answered.

~𝘈 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘬𝘺 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘛𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦. 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺!.~ A murmur of fear and anger goes through the crowd.

"You have to leave, or you will die."

"Are you certain of this!?" Mo'at asks in confusion and worry.

There was a pause, and Jake sighed.

"They sent us here... to learn your ways... So one day I could bring this message, and you would believe it," Jake begins in a defeated voice.

Nate clenched his eyes shut, his ears falling flat against his head as he turned his head away.

"What are you saying, Jake? You knew this would happen?" Neytiri stepped forward, her hands hovering over Jake's body as she looked him in his eyes, her expression pained.

Neytiri's face fell into a pout, her eyes glued to the floor as Jake continued to speak. Her eyes welled with tears, and she stepped back. She can barely breathe. She is shaking with the enormity of it, her voice cracking with rage and pain.

"I trusted you..." She cried weakly.

"Neytiri~" Jake tried.

"I trusted you~!" Neytiri raised her voice, pulling away from Jake's hold.

"Please, I only wanted to~" Jake tried to speak again.

~𝘓𝘐𝘈𝘙~ Neytiri screamed, silencing everything.

~𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦...~ She exclaimed in Na'vi.
