okay seal genetic matching room
hi and welcome to the avatar program
soon you're going to have a chance to
undertake an amazing navi right of
passage riding on the back of a banshee
by being genetically matched and linked
to an avatar using avatars to fly this
way was all figured out by my boss dr
jackie ogden
she leads her science team which is part
of the pandora conservation initiative
and we're here in the valley of moara
studying banshees and their environment
over a generation ago this enormous
company called the rda created a lot of
damage to the area through their bad
mining practices and conflicts with the
na'vi
just like on earth it can take decades
for ecosystems to recover
one way to understand what's going on
with an ecosystem is to study what are
called keystone species
these are animals like tigers jaguars
seals
the banshee is one of these important
animals
dr ogden is the foremost expert on
studying the ecron and has spent years
researching them unfortunately banshees
live high in rookeries and humans can't
get anywhere near them without
becoming their lunch but the na'vi and
avatars can
in fact the navi have been writing on
the backs of banshees since their
earliest history thanks to science
avatars can write on banshees too
that's why you're linking to an avatar
it was dr ogden who restarted the avatar
program it's because of her that you're
able to go through this rite of passage
today
pandora is a breathtaking natural world
i cannot wait for you guys to see it for
yourselves
okay to get you flying on a banshee we
need to find each of you an avatar
um let's prep the genetic sampling i'm
on it okay
first we need to find the compatible
match of your genetic material
with the genetic material of one of the
avatar bodies that we already have
once we do that you will be able to link
to that avatar
and
fly
help us out and move around a bit
almost
yes got it
now let's find you your avatar mansion
[Music]
all right you've all been matched with
avatars
uh oh looks like they're ready for you
in the next room uh when the door opens
please go inside all the way in and
stand over the same number that you're
standing over now
and uh
and i'll see you in there
[Music]
great you've all made it uh it's
important that you can all see me so
move a little if you can't
before we send you to the link chamber
let's watch this piece by dr ogden who
runs the program
welcome everyone
i'm dr jackie ogden from the pandora
conservation initiative
you're about to experience a ceremony
that's very special to the na'vi flying
on the back of an ekron or as we call it
a banshee
to the navi connecting to an ekron and
flying on its back is an incredibly
important rite of passage they call ikni
maya
with permission from the navi and in
partnership with alpha centauri
expeditions we can now bring this
amazing experience to you
the way you'll be able to fly is by
linking to an avatar that's already on
the back of the necron let's see how
this works
we establish a link using powerful
psionic amplification equipment a human
driver is connected to an avatar which
could be physically hundreds of
kilometers away when you follow our
technician into the link chamber you'll
see a series of 16 linked chairs please
go to the number that matches the number
you're standing on now
first stow your gear in the storage
containers on the back wall this should
include all bags cameras and other items
including cell phones it's important to
push them all the way into the bin then
get onto the chair the same way you
might get onto a bike put one leg over
and straddle the seat
step all the way forward and then sit
down
wait until you're seated before you put
on your flight visors hold on to the
hand grips as shown and slide forward
against the chest pad
it's important to hold on to the hand
grips at all times after you're seated
back and leg restraints will be firmly
engaged
for your safety throughout this entire
experience always remain seated and
supervise your children
once the link takes place you will be
connected to your avatar and sitting on
the back of a necron it'll feel like
you're really there
moments later you'll begin your flight
the navy guide will lead you out you'll
experience the breathtaking beauty of
pandora but you might also face some of
its greatest challenges
some of this flight might be intense
but trust your guide and be brave
as the na'vi say during this important
rite of passage
sivak hope
rise to the challenge
good luck
all right you ready
let's get you into the link chamber then
put on your flight passes
for your safety throughout this entire
experience remain seated leaning forward
holding on to the handwriting
for your safety throughout this entire
experience remain seated
