I'm heading towards the end of the recovery road, I think. And I wanted to start a few projects soon. How does the science group operate here? Do you work closely together? I'm a biologist but I've done a lot of interdisciplinary cooperations. I've got a basic understanding of physics, chemistry, psychology, anthropology and, of course, mathematics and computer science as well. The last two for statistics and computational modeling. So if there are any projects to get involved with, give me a shout.

Otherwise, do you guys have regular meeting and give regular talks about newest findings?

And are there people here (regular people, not us weird scientific freaks) who would like to join the dark side of knowledge? You don't seem to have a university here and I did some tutoring during my PhD. I would be happy to teach things, whatever the interest is.

	[She is, yes. And she likes you. She listens when you act like a children over plants and thinks it's cute. She brings food to you. Really good food. She likes you. Trust me on this, brother.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tifnu. Y'know, you should take over from where Norm and Neytiri got to. So's I stop embarrassing you every time I speak Na'vi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For learning the language for the whole of three months, your skills are extremely poor. You know you might try to give your best to hide it but you are pretty smart, brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I was busy learning more than just the language, y'know? I had to learn the best way to fall off a Pa'li and how not to get eaten by Palulukan and all kinds of shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then your bad grammar is excused. Those are more important things to learn. I never asked you, how is it to live with them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Amazing. Terrifying. Every damn day, there's something that'd make you think "I am actually insane to be considering this," but then you gotta go do it anyway. Throwing yourself off trees that are, like, hundreds of feet tall and using giant leaves to slow your fall, or going through Iknimaya... Jesus, I thought I was gonna die before I got to make tsaheylu with Banshee, any number of times.

But then you go hunting and when you eat that night, you're eating food you killed and prepared yourself, you're keeping the People alive and Eywa is pleased. And they make all this stuff, and I didn't need to learn all of that, but watching the looms going is brilliant, and Neytiri explained all kinds of things, like how everything has meaning, every single thing. I had to make my own bow, though. And now that I'm Omaticaya, I'll get to make a new one from the wood of Hometree.

You'd love it. Maybe not all the hunting or being a warrior, but just seeing everything, how it's all one, everything ties together under Eywa... I wish I could show you.

	It sounds amazing. But I guess here is good, too. When you are better on your feet, we'll go to the forest together and do some explorin. I'll show you all the interesting stuff I've found so far and you can tell me stories about the Pandora plants. You knowthat's the good thing about here, we can go there together.

	Have you got a map started yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notaskxawng 2013-08-05 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	Just notes but I read that people on the island have made one. I want to get a copy of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, get on that. I'm good at maps, I can help you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notaskxawng 2013-08-06 09:59 am UTC (link)
	You know what, you can get on it. The man you have to contact is James Bond. His dead friend Q made one. I hope that he still has copies of it. Hopefully even a digital version but with this time you never know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
