All of them want to know how to spaceships. Every single one.

Andalites will share with countries with a suitable record of competent and professional handling of internal matters and an interest in an alliance for war against the Yeerks and a willingness to commit not to conquer inhabited planets except for Yeerk ones.

...so, Biyani guy is sent packing?

Biyan does not have a record of competent and professional handling of internal matters at all.

Can he convince the aliens that that was an anomaly.

They are open to being so persuaded. What sort of protections are in place against similar stupidity in the future, what happened to the architects of the stupidity, have reparations been made.

Mumble mumble.

Andalites are not convinced at this time that an alliance with Biyan is to their advantage.

Tapa makes a better case for it. Voa still has reds under the traditional arrangement because they want to see how Tapa's decontamination goes before emulating it and Anitam.

They both seem competent. He does some online reading that more or less confirms this. Voa maybe had some past mishandled internal matters; do they have a good answer to 'what protections are in place to prevent it from occurring again, what happened to the people responsible, have reparations been made?'

Allocators and some other jobs that can be obtained without solid track records now have better oversight and peer review of their actions. Allocator Savo is now a stay at home dad. Tapa made off with Imde province and they have not attempted to take it back.

And do they want an alliance with the Andalites to destroy the Yeerks, after which the Andalites would be delighted to aid them in claiming and defending a claim to the Yeerk planets?

Yes, and they're happy to work out with other allying nations how to divvy up the planets.

Andalites will give Voa and Tapa a tech talk too!

Hurray!

(Tapa wants a large fraction of the first planet and is willing to take smaller ones of subsequent planets to get it. Voa's allocation means that they will have an awkward time booming the grey population without doing the same to all the other castes, so whether they want to contest that or go along with it depends on how likely it is they should allow a boom before they get a planet.)

Matirin expects Amentan forces to be bottlenecked by producing starships rather than by producing crews for them and therefore does not think a grey boom is necessary though casualties will probably be substantial enough that it'd be warranted given certain preferences about caste balance.

In the long run they probably have too many greys leftover from a more violent time in history and it wouldn't actually be that bad if they had half as many afterwards and the remainder grew at the same rate as the other castes.

The incentive to have more greys around than you have grey jobs is quite apparent. He'll let them decide all of that.

Other, smaller countries also want in. Everybody wants in. BABIES.

What a peculiar species. Smaller countries are less assets and more complications but if they've got a sparkling domestic record he'll discuss it. 

How do they feel about Orvara.

Uh the Andalite understanding of a sparkling domestic record involves not herding any of your loyal citizens off to their deaths but perhaps the government can offer more insight.

They weren't technically citizens, reds were their own class of thing exempt from many of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

...aliens are also their own class of thing and a country being incompetent with peaceful and law-abiding people who are in their power is precisely the thing that bodes poorly for their competence at handling interstellar relations.

They were highly competent! They managed a complete transition without any clean casualties!
