"Certainly. You are reachable via the crystal ball system, am I right?"

"Yes, we are. I'm not on any of the standard channels so you can reach me that way but shouldn't assume I've seen anything."

"Noted. Do you prefer everything to go through you or do you have subordinates who should be flagged for low-priority information disclosure?"

"I will let you know who I've assigned once I have."

She nods and gives him a list of who should be told what on her end.

And a while later he sends some city planners and architects and artists who delightedly get to work on building Elven-style Yeerk pools and surrounding architecture and city designs for straightforward expansion as more Yeerks are able to participate.

It's a little over a month later when someone confusedly remarks that she didn't think Flat Elves could get pregnant without trying to and do any of the genuine visiting Elves know what else might seem like that?

The genuine visiting Elves are. Very. Freaked. Out. 

No they don't know what else could seem like that there's probably a way to check - demons can check, right -

Demons have a lot on their plates besides pregnancy tests do Elves not have a way to check?

How would Elves ever conceivably not know?

Yep she's pregnant.

Well fuck. The Elves will make an announcement on the crystal ball network so all Elves everywhere can be horrified.

Which they are. 

...they shouldn't raise Elf kids on Nest, Yeerks do not seem likely to know what to do with them, but if the parents will object to being uniquely lifted off Nest and want to name some people to come along it's probably a good idea to allow that - 

- Luster comments that they'll take them, being in Wish distance and probably easiest to wish up safe for nested Yeerk parents of Elves -

What? Why do they have to leave? They live here. It's just getting to be really pretty. All their friends are here. Can't somebody just take the kids and give them to somebody with any idea of what to do with kids, Yeerks have no idea what to do with kids, there is literally no such thing as a living Yeerk parent!

...separating kids from their parents is a horrible thing to do, they have adoption but it's for if the parents did die and it's not as if there are Elf couples desperately wishing for children or they'd just, well, have them, but maybe that actually is what is best for the kids - is it only the one pregnant Yeerk-Elf or are there several -

Um, well, there are probably more considering, uh -

- yep there's a few dozen.

...okay they're dropping all of Vanda Nossëo's contraception rings on Nest they should work for Elves just as well as for humans and they should probably contact the mother and father for all of the couple dozen and make sure they both actually want to be separated from their baby forever -

Um, the thing is, most of these people were not just simply - see, not all Yeerks are into humanoid type sex things but the ones that are still kinda -

- they don't know who most of the dads are.

Well. Demons can do that, too, right.

Not if dad candidates were in matching morphs.

...well, they can, but it's much less trivial that way.

Who had the idea of giving Yeerks Elf bodies in the first place.

It was sort of obvious as an idea but the notion that it would suit Yeerks well for psychological reasons (which it totally does!) was Epic.

Who thinks people sometimes do okay with parents who aren't their birth parents, the adopted kids will probably be fine.

That's very relieving to the Yeerks!

...some of the Yeerks! Others are having hormonal freakouts and do not want to send their babies away!

Understandably! But the babies will be Elves and should probably be raised around Elves so are the parents okay with coming with their babies to somewhere they can have Elven childrearing help?

Couldn't some Elves just come live on Nest - are there even procedures for having Yeerks-in-Elves-not-on-Nest, they don't want to leave their passengers behind -
