"I mean, it's a very big world."

"Maybe Peka would be into it."

"Is she into - weird -"

"She is secretly red."

"....wow."

"...I'm maybe not all caught up, why does this increase the likelihood of slug fetishism."

"Amentans have a strong disgust reaction. In reds it is attenuated due to both exposure and probably genetic selection."

"They fucking hate their sanitation workers, it's really weird."

"Uh, but humans also think slugs are gross even though we don't... hate sanitation workers?"

"It's going to be more prohibitive with Amentans than with humans. Advertising on an Earth is likely to get more promising results than advertising on Amenta."

"Uh, they've got lots of human hosts right now. Stealth-like. Advertisements are not a great idea till that's sewn up."

"One of the other Earths, yeah - though actually I'd rather daeva not know about Yeerks and morph, all things considered..."

"Hard secret to keep if you do much of anything."

"Could use a couple people who are doing long-term stuff and reasonably discreet, but - still not sustainable long-term, I guess. All right, if Peka doesn't want to do it we can advertise in Revelation, do some testing."

"Do you have any reason to think she would want to aside from that she has naturally pink hair."

"It's not -" sigh. "Uh, adventurous, risk-taking, wouldn't especially mind Makel reading her mind under most circumstances though these are admittedly awfully extreme ones...I'm not asking Shasali, it's not just 'oh reds don't mind that'..."

"Sorry, sorry, you're just all so funny on the topic."

"You really are."

Amentans sigh.

"If this works the way Cam expects it to work, is there a way to conjure for hosts on Earth whose Yeerks let them write or draw or something - start there with our search for Yeerks who aren't terrible..."

"There's no reason for Yeerks to bother with bribery, is there?"

<I do not know of any...maybe a Yeerk without support who needed the cooperation of the host while they fed? But it'd require highly unusual circumstances.>

"So good enough to escalate to a manual filter, all right."

"I'll email next time the door's open to Warp. How many Yeerk planets are there, how hard will it be to get a daeva into range to destroy the generators unnoticed..."

<We can coordinate with the Andalite fleet to accomplish that.> And he pulls up a model and points out Yeerk planets and Yeerk generator sites and Yeerk populations who'd need rehousing.
