When the door is next open to Warp Aitim emails Makel.

Makel grabs Peka when she's walking by and kisses her and shows her the email.

Amenta 1.0 has Yeerks, these gross slug aliens who crawl into your brain and control your mind. We need to know whether conjuration can distinguish between things written by a person and things written by the Yeerk controlling them. We're probably going to advertise for volunteers (on Earth, because Amentans are going to find Yeerks exceedingly gross) but I thought I'd check first if you and Peka wanted it. Perks include permanent Andalite shapeshifting powers, drawbacks include the 'crawl into your brain and control your mind' thing.

"Why would I want to crawl into somebody's brain?"

"Other way round, I think, he wants me to."

"Oh. Huh. Do you wanna turn into a slug alien?"

"...mildly down on slug alien, pretty tempted by the permanent shapeshifting powers? How do you feel about it, it sounds like the scary part's yours -"

"I mean, I trust you."

"I love you. Want to go for it?"

Kiss. "Sure."

Makel tells Matirin that they should both get shapeshifting powers even if this is not strictly necessary because it'll be more fun.

<...on Amenta is that usually considered a justification for illegal military tech sharing?>

"Not in the slightest! But I figure if this is illegal military tech sharing it's better to share it with an alt and that means I have leverage and so i would like you to give Peka alien shapeshifting also. - wait, how illegal are we talking about, are they going to come hunt me down."

<...of course not, you would not have broken any rules and will not be a risk for Yeerk capture.>

"Good. Okay. Then yeah, I want a shapeshifting wife."

Matirin acquires a box and morphables them. 

"What are you planning to do with your shapeshifting wife?" wonders Peka.

"Elves are supposed to have this hair thing."

"Hair thing?"

Tail-swish. <This is treason, you know. How about you do the experiment.>

"Right, sorry, okay. If Peka's ready - are you ready -"

"Wait, this is treason?"

<None of you will be in any trouble, don't worry.>

"...okay, uh, I'm ready."

Makel turns into an alien slug off a demon-provided sample!

Peka puts him near her ear!
