51 Chapter 48 (Draft)

The tech in medical scrubs floats weightlessly around Gabriella who squints as the lights flicker on, revealing cryo vault as med techs pull themselves about in ZERO-G, tending to Elijah who was checking through his Holo pad as he turned to see his sister awake,so he gave are you okay gesture.

Gabriella smiled and gestured I am good,she with

a hoarse whisper

"Are we there?"

Med tech smiled and replied"We're there,Ms.Swan.Your brother is waiting for you."

The Med tech floats among them, using his announcement voice explained" You have been in cryo for five

years, nine months and twenty two days.You will be hungry, you will be weak. If you feel nausea, please use the sacks provided for your convenience. The staff

thanks you in advance."

Gabriella pushes away from her capsule, gliding to the personal locker across the aisle as Elijah slowly glides next to her saying"We are going to arrive in Pandora soon,It's been sometime since we saw either Mom or Dad."

Gabriella nodded she missed her father a lot it has been 10 years since they last saw each other face to face,after his company became huge,intergalatic travel and hiding the supernatural world from ths humans caused him to be busy,while he always tried to make time for both of them.

FutureTech became do big,that dad had influence to create a separate coloney in Pandora,but he was not alone this was another organization

called the  Resources Development Administration, or RDA, is the largest single non-governmental organization in human space. Its power is such that it outmatches most of Earth governments in wealth, political influence, and military capability. The RDA also had shared monopoly rights to the products shipped, derived, or developed from Pandora and any other off-Earth location.While FutureTech didn't mine Unbotanium instead they focused on the species present on the planet,The planet Pandora had a human like species called Navi.

But with time they were able to gain their trust thus they showed places with great Unobtanium deposits,it was huge gain.Unobtanium has no use to the Na'vi, as their laws forbid them from mining the earth for metals.

Against the cold infinity of stars glides an interstellar spacecraft ICUV STAR. As it moves past like an endless train, we realize this thing is enormous over half a mile long.We see a gas-giant planet called POLYPHEMUS, ringed with dozens of moons which cast beauty-mark shadows on its vast face.

The ICUV diminishes away from us toward the largest moon a blue and surprisingly Earth-like world called PANDORA. The

ship dwindles to a speck against the blue moon.As we enter pandora's orbit

ROSE drifts above a spectacular vista the sapphire seas and unfamiliar continents of Pandora.

The massive "ROSE" shuttle are mated to a docking node. One of them separates from the starship and

moves away, its thrusters firing in short bursts.As the shuttle moves away,descending toward Pandora, we hear the sound of drums, building, louder and louder until Gabriella saw the rainforest down below with great intrest flying over a landscape of massive cliffs and towering mesas carpeted in rainforest. Great scarves of cloud swirl around the mesa tops. A primeval landscape, vast and forbidding.

The trees are alien, the color too cyan. There are

waterfalls, rivers, and distant flocks of winged creatures.Suddenly the carpet of virgin rainforest gives way to a lifeless crater as if a giant cookie cutter took a chunk out of the world.Gabriella look down among the terraces are excavators and trucks the size of three story

buildings.

Gabriella questioned"Are those the Unobtanium mimes dad talked about?"

Elijah frowned and replied"Yeah.They are still at it,I remember Dad was against this because Unobtanium mining has caused with a local species."

Unobtanium at It's is a room-temperature superconductor for energy, which makes it very valuable; worth $20 million per kilogram (2.2 lbs) unrefined and $40 million per kilogram refined on Earth.

Gabriella remembered her aunt Alice talking about how Unobtanium would become the backbone of Earth's economy.If not for her father for finding Alternate means like the variant if Arc Reactor or Power Core,even then FutureTech had created many enemies with their rise,so many still pushed for Unobtanium to be mined.

As a powerful energy conductor, unobtanium has countless specialized uses. Notably, it is vital to Superluminal Communications and the manufacturing of computer hyperchips. It is also essential for running the RDA's global, high-speed maglev train system. Perhaps most importantly, unobtanium facilitates the containment and direction of energy in the matter-antimatter annihilation system which propels ships like the ISV Venture Star or ICUV, enabling them to travel at incredibly fast speeds and reach the Alpha Centauri system in as little as 6 years.

So without unobtanium, interstellar commerce on a massive scale would not be possible. Unobtanium is not only the key to Earth's energy needs in the 22nd century but the enabler of interstellar travel and the establishment of a truly spacefaring civilization.
