You're welcome. Is there anything else you want to know while we wait?

Yeah, I guess - is this response going to be typical or are some of the others going to be in trouble, if the Visser does order compliance are there going to be people who try not to comply - if you happen to have pen and paper I could tell home -

I don't think that many Vissers and Sub-vissers are looking for a way out of having to answer to the Council? Maybe they all are and they're good at covering their tracks. This was a pretty good way to get us to do what you want but I don't know that it'll work all the time, anyway. The Visser might pretend we're doing something else that isn't surrendering if he doesn't think we'll all fall in line with a surrender. We don't write things that way and all the computers here are for Hork-Bajir hands but I guess you could type it up from here anyway. There's terminals - Directions.

Sure. To the terminals.

Letter to Cam. Records are because of an embarrassing illness incident in which a lot of hosts died. As a result, Visser expected to like not being in trouble for it. I like Keften and if you run into problems expect he'd be happy to help us with them.

And then he deletes it, of course. Thanks.

You're welcome. The languages thing is weird from here.

Oh?

Well, I speak Hork-Bajir, and all the languages you actually speak, but you also have the magic languages thing and I don't, but I can understand anything you understand.

Oh, huh, I didn't think about that. Is there a way to transmit languages between hosts? A lot of people'd be super jealous of that...

I don't think so.

Too bad. ...will it attract attention if I sing?

Yeah. Nobody would know what you were doing.

Okay.

He sits quietly and does not sing.

Keften cannot consistently resist the urge to look around at things but otherwise does not puppet his host.

He doesn't mind this. Races that aren't Elves have terrible eyesight, he's familiar with that from various city planning projects. How long until the Visser arrives?

Probably depends on how busy he is. They might just talk remotely. Or send us where he is.

Okay.

He really wants to sing; all this is overwhelming without that. 

Sorry. Hork-Bajir don't really have music and neither do Yeerks.

I'll be okay. 

There was some debate about whether involuntary Quendi hosts would die anyway after a week or so - we can't handle being imprisoned, don't know if this would count - but this isn't negatively affecting me - and the forest's pretty - I'll be fine.

Would you definitely be able to tell if it were hurting you?

Maybe not this fast, but definitely within a couple days, and I think I'd have an inkling even this fast. 

Okay.

Your planet is so interesting. Will I be allowed there?

You know as much as I do -  I think they're hoping to have everybody cooperative resettled within a year, though, when the prince called me in he was also working on sparing enough people to process all the Yeerks efficiently -

An Endorë year?

Yeah. Yeerks have more like humanlike time priorities? How long do you all live?

I think the very oldest are fifty or sixty in Endorë years but we don't usually die of old age. I'm not actually sure if that's ever happened? It must have before the war, probably, it can't be that it was always murder or starvation or predation or something, but we don't wear out like Hork-Bajir do, really.
