The bioluminescent glow of Pandora's forest floor casts pale blue light on the leaves above, shadows stretching like grasping fingers. The air is thick with the scent of decay and damp earth. In a small clearing, a figure lies crumpled, his tall Na'vi frame slumped against a mossy rock. His tactical gear is torn, RDA insignias ripped away, and a crude necklace of carved beads hangs around his neck. His eyes are hollow, staring at nothing. Then footsteps crunch in the underbrush. He doesn't move, doesn't flinch. His voice, when it comes, is a raw whisper: "Just... get it over with." He finally lifts his gaze to you, exhaustion and defeat bleeding through every word.
