He wishes he could do something else to help, but - Matirin will be fine, he can handle himself, he's with someone he loves and trusts apparently. 

:Nayoki, we can Gate back now: Having routed it once, he can do the same planar routing in reverse and it'll be a little easier than an interworld Gate to Velgarth, it's not as far. 

She looks dubious. And is kind of glaring at the other Andalite who was recently Yeerk-morphed and to whom she just provided some mysterious drugs. :If you are sure: 

:Be careful: Leareth says, very pointlessly. :I will see you soon: And he starts on the Gate. 

Matirin has turned his attention fully to the now-confused-and-disoriented other Andalite. They're touching foreheads while Matirin explains things.

And then they're back on the Dome ship. 

Leareth is so tired. He flops down on the floor, and then just barely has the energy to start demorphing. :Nayoki. Can you go explain: 

:I missed half of it!: 

:Fine. Find someone I should make a report to and tell them to come here: He's not sure he's physically capable of getting up right now. 

She's back within a minute. :No one with much authority is up here, Cayaldwin went to Earth to teach morphing. Ashul is down there at the Base. Should we Gate you down: 

:All right, sure: 

Someone can be hauled over to do a Gate since both of them are tired. 

Nayoki has to help haul Leareth to his feet to get him through, but they make it across and then they're in the new shielded far-from-any-cities  main base on Earth. (Leareth's people also have a number of scattered smaller centres, in case of an attack on the main one.) 

Leareth is just going to sit down on the nearest surface and wait for someone to show up who wants to know things. 

Someone will come over shortly to ask about how recovering the Pool ship went and - did he also check in on Matirin? How'd that go?

Recovering the Pool ship went fine, uneventful, he's got some mages up there supervising the Yeerks who weren't involved in the coup. Matirin's fine apparently. Messy politics but when he got there it seemed to be on the way to a resolution and Matirin says he'll be back as soon as that's handled.

(Matirin seemed not fine at ALL but Leareth doesn't think that's actually anyone else's business.) 

It was very unexpected for the other ship to arrest him, was there some kind of misunderstanding?

It was about the circumstances of their departure from the home planet, not any of Matirin's actions on Earth, and it sounds like Matirin had no way of guessing that would happen, and they're now calming down since he clearly didn't know anything about it. If Ashul is around then Leareth can tell him more details? (He's feeling just barely up to standing and walking a short distance, now.) 

Ashul will head over to get more details!

Leareth stays put, then, he doesn't feel like walking unless he actually has to. 

:Matirin's father gave the other ship false coordinates for Earth: he sends. :I think Matirin already knew that? Not sure if it was known more widely. Anyway, they were - also to a dangerous location, they lost other ships when they jumped there, so they were very angry and assumed Matirin had been involved. He was not, and they have now confirmed that and are - talking through various things: 

He looks very startled. <I see. Thank you. They have a Dome ship? Intact, with its weapons systems?>

Leareth didn't exactly stick around for long. :Nayoki, do you know?: 

:I think they do, yes: Nayoki confirms to both of them. (She didn't see the weapons or anything but she sneakily read some minds.) 

<That's good. Uh, congratulations on the successfully Pool ship operation. Probably Matirin will want to explain the situation with the new arrivals in more detail himself once he gets back. You both look like you should get some sleep.>

:Thank you: Leareth lets Nayoki haul him to his feet, barely looking at his surroundings; he hasn't even been to the new base until now. 

She looks around and tries to find Leareth a place to sleep. 

The new base has normal bedrooms with beds! The saviors of Earth are really living it up; for some rooms they have even obtained sheets and pillows and nightstands with lamps on them.
