"I think I need more context."

"I don't think I can say it. Not if you don't know. Can you - hold me - and sing -"

Permalink

Sigh. 

 

"Were you - hurting like this - before that, or -"

Permalink

"I've been hurting like this forever. I don't - the other ones are happy, now, they got therapy."

"Where can I read whatever it is I need to know?"

"They keep it on chiplocked computers, I think. There's - probably a sufficient overview on the crystal ball, I'll go get mine -"

 

He doesn't move.

He holds him. He sings.

There are days of latency between the Andalite homeworld and Earth. Bella gets their panicky message about the disappearing Blade ship.

She asks Matirin if there is any good reason she shouldn't show up on the Andalite homeworld and clear that up. She's pretty sure she can keep a straight-enough face for Andalites who don't know humans very well.

Matirin thinks this is hilarious. By all means, she should do that.

"Do you want to sneak along invisibly or something?"

Permalink

"...I'm actually not doing too much, here, it'd actively be unhelpful for me to make an appearance in relocations - sure."

 

So he goes invisible and comes along.

Hello Andalite homeworld. It's the Imperatrix Isabella.

Permalink

Has she been apprised of the fact a Yeerk ship disappeared - wait, how did she get here -

Permalink

"Yes, I'm very sorry about that - the Yeerks don't have teleportation, we do."

<And you teleported a Blade ship out from a course of attack ->

Permalink

"Right. We received the Council's surrender and we've been clearing up loose ends but we were planning to notify you soon."

<We are eager to learn how you did this.>

Straight face. Straaaaight face. "I'm sorry, the people who taught us how to teleport aren't currently prepared to share the information with the Andalites."

Permalink

<At what time will they be prepared to do so?>

Permalink

"There isn't a timetable for that."

Permalink

<Teleportation very dramatically changes the postures necessary to keep the galaxy secure.>

Permalink

"Yes, for example, you will no longer need to worry about Yeerks, we're taking care of that."

Permalink

<How are you taking care of that, and do we have any reason to believe you?>

Permalink

"I'm sure you understand that I can't disclose all the details of an ongoing military operation," she says. "I suppose you don't have to believe me, but I did want to reassure you that it's us with the teleportation and not the Yeerks so that you won't have to be alarmed about that. The Andalites have always been good friends to Earth."

Permalink

<It is our hope that Earth will mature into a race willing to return that friendship.>
