Title: If you were a grub, a newly born yeerk
Post by: 2005004219 on October 17, 2009, 05:57:59 AM: What would you do about your situation on earth, your host, your life, about visser 3, about the yeerk peace movement and about the 'heroic' andalite bandits, and your fellow yeerks and more?

Post by: Chad32 on October 17, 2009, 08:30:41 AM: I'd probably try to get myself a good host, and stay as far away from visser Three as possible.

Post by: Azguard on October 17, 2009, 10:10:53 AM: if I were a Yeerk I'd probably have dreams of becoming Visser one. this might involve me getting killed somewhere around me being subvisser 2.

Post by: Adrian Malacoda on October 17, 2009, 09:54:48 PM: If I were a newly born Yeerk I probably wouldn't really "think" anything, assuming Yeerks don't come into the world smarter than the average sentient one-hour-old lifeform. Eventually I'd probably be taken away with all the empire propaganda like most of the other Yeerks out there.

i can sympathize with yeerks in many ways. living a permanently-blind and deaf life would be miserable.
of course, if i'd never gone into a host i wouldn't know what i was missing.

Post by: Dameg on October 18, 2009, 06:26:16 AM: It'd depend of who I meet during my life... might be eaten by propaganda; must have a host; may go in the peace movement; must try to become a Visser ^^'

Post by: Shark Akhrrana on October 24, 2009, 01:43:10 AM: I wonder what Yeerk grubs do in teh pool i mean they probably have the minds of children as grubs. do they have happy yeerk games. Do they play echolocation tag or something? Do they go to Grub school?
i mean they have to get their education somehow before they even get a host.

Post by: JFalcon on October 24, 2009, 07:03:03 AM: In HBC I think they say that Visser 3 was studying up on Andalites before he had a host so they probably have some way of learning, maybe school or a computer they can access in their natural state or something.

As for me, if I were a Yeerk grub, well that's easy. I already know that had I been a Yeerk they wouldn't have lost the war, and I'd be emperor right now, as a grub I'd have been extremely busy learning everything about humans, especially military tactics (learn about your enemy and all) just as Visser Three had learned all about Andalites, with all this human study I'd have been interested in the peace movement but would never have accepted noninfestation, it's too detremental to my grander scheme you see, so while I would do nothing to hinder them (providing they in turn did nothing to hinder me) I would not join them.

As for the Andalite Bandits, I'd hate them of course, this is from a Yeerk's perspective after all, and even Aftran the friendly Yeerk hated Andalites at first, I'd need some sort of major event to change that, just like she did. Infesting my eventual Andalite host (bwahaha) might eventually lead to some understanding, but alas by then I'd be all grown up, and I've already discussed what I'd do as an adult Yeerk :P

Yup... They've got sensory nubs or something so that they can access information much like they do in the human brain...

Post by: Shark Akhrrana on October 24, 2009, 04:11:48 PM: but i think when he did that study he was already a yeerk not a grub. He was just a Yeerk with no host. and it was not till he got his first Host that he got obsessed with getting an Andalite Host

Post by: Keleyn on October 26, 2009, 02:53:37 AM: I'd infest something, and then let it have its own mind for a third of the time and be with the yeerk peace movement.
