correct copies of the notes and treatment that I wrote in 1980-81 for “Mother” are<br />
attached hereto as Exhibit 18.<br />
61. In Mother, humans have plundered Earth and look to exploit another<br />
planet. As I wrote in 1980-81: “It was a … plan, born of desperation. For Earth<br />
was becoming hell too, crushed beneath a sea of homo sapiens, and they needed<br />
new territory. Not simply a new continent: an entire world was required. And so<br />
they came.” Exhibit 18 at LIGHTS003197. This effort is spearheaded by an<br />
international and interplanetary consortium called Triworld Development<br />
Corporation, or “the Company,” which sets up mines on another planet, possibly<br />
Venus or an extrasolar planet or moon such as Titan. Id. at LIGHTS003199, 3192.<br />
Due to the planet’s extremely high temperatures and a toxic atmosphere of carbon<br />
dioxide at high pressure, humans cannot survive there without environment suits.<br />
Id. at LIGHTS003196, 3198. But that does not stop the Company.<br />
62. I used this same scenario in Avatar: The international consortium<br />
called the Resources Development Administration (RDA) sets up mines on<br />
Pandora, a moon that orbits an extrasolar planet, whose atmosphere is toxic to<br />
humans.<br />
63. In Mother, in addition to mines on this planet, the Company sets up<br />
stations devoted to research and development. Because the planet’s environment is<br />
dangerous to humans, a “xenomorph,” my term for a genetically engineered alien<br />
creature, is created based on a local life form in order to serve the needs of the<br />
Company. As my notes for Mother show, I conceived the idea that these<br />
genetically engineered aliens could be used as workers in the mines. Exhibit 18 at<br />
LIGHTS003192, 3205. In my scriptment for Avatar, a primary purpose of the<br />
Avatar Program is to create a human/Na’vi hybrid which can live and work on<br />
Pandora, which will ultimately lead to a workforce. Exhibit 3 at LIGHTS000313.<br />
