To save themselves the cost of replacing Tom's investment, they instead offer their contract to Jake since their genomes are identical and Jake accepts, so they then put him into cryo-sleep and send him on a nearly six-hour journey. years to Pandora upon awakening, along with The other newcomers are given EXO packs to help protect them from Pandora's toxic atmosphere and are sent to an RDA facility to receive a briefing from Colonel Miles qual Rich, their head of security, who explains the biggest dangers you can find on Pandora. Of these are the Navi, an indigenous population of humanoids.

Jake was then taken by Dr. Norm Spellman, a biologist who had been working on the Avatar program with Tom, to see his Avatar, which is revealed to be a genetically created human Navi hybrid body using its driver's DNA as part of the genetic template that allows said driver to transfer their Consciousness and we also see that each Avatar has been given facial characteristics similar to those of their driver. Norm also introduces him to Dr. Grace Augustine, the head of the Avatar program, but she does not seem happy with the RDA's decision to replace one of their scientists with someone with no prior laboratory experience and expresses her displeasure to the senior administrator of the grd on Pandora Parker Selfridge, though he doesn't care much about the complaints, as his main concern is getting hold of Pandora's extremely valuable ore in getium, which is the only reason he chose to fund his research in the first place.

The next day, Jake and Norm take his

One of the GDR Marine pilots, Trudy Chacón, took him to meet Colonel Quarrich, who learned about his past as a Marine and sees his current one. He positions himself in the Avatar program as an opportunity to learn the information he needs about navigation from the inside, so he proposes that Jake act as his informant and in exchange he will arrange for him to get his legs back and Jake later agrees. will follow.

Jake convinces them that he is a dreamwalking warrior seeking to learn their ways and they eventually agree to teach him and assign him an outback to be their guardian and after falling asleep next to them in his home tree, he returns to his human form. in the laboratory and informs them of the situation in which he finds himself.

Being shot right in front of his sister Despite this disturbing story, Jake and Grace are able to continue to regain their favor now and Jake is soon deemed ready to participate in the ritual of economaya, a test that every young hunter must pass in the one who climbs the path to the nest of the banshee and learns to control and form a sahelu or neural connection with one of the aerial creatures that Jake finally manages to make to the excitement of Natiri and the shock and disgust of the increasingly jealous of the next warrior in line to become a clan. leader and who is supposed to be paired with Natiri since she is next in line to take on the role of Sahiq, now that he has chosen his own Banshee Jake goes out on an aerial hunt with Natiri, but the two were soon interrupted and attacked by an even larger aerial predator. in Optics known to the Navi as a Taruk, which they narrowly managed to avoid, and later that night, Naturi explains the meaning of the creature by informing Jake about his great-great-grandfather, who was only one of the five Taruk Maktos in their history, a Navi individual. who success

In a successful ceremony, Natiri takes him to one of the clan's most sacred places, the tree of voices, where they can connect with the trees and hear the voices of their ancestors, and there the two finally express their unspoken feelings for each other. the other and shared a kiss. before linking their neural signals and pairing them for life, the two sleep in the forest all night until Natiri is awakened the next morning by the sound of several RDA bulldozers tearing down the sacred land, although the destruction does not wake Jake, since he hasn't yet entered their link unit in his human form, but luckily he connects in time to avoid being demolished and attempts to stop them by destroying one of the machine's chambers, but this only results in the GDR soldiers open fire, so they are forced to flee. and they return to the tree of origin where we see the omotakaya preparing for war, once there, an enraged sute quickly approaches him and pushes him to the ground and his attack continues upon learning that he and natiri had achieved it, but Jake manages to overcome him .

It fails completely as the team ends up dead and his team is destroyed, so Quarrych pushes for the green light to simply kill the indigenous people and Selfridge reluctantly agrees.
