(Why am I talking about David so much?)
I know that we got the auxilaries later on, but do you think after the David disaster, the Animorphs should have gotten new members? I mean, they had the box now and who knows how much easier missions would be with extra assistance. What do you think? Maybe Melissa?
I could sort of see the recruitment like the meeting between Morpheus and Neo in The Matrix.
"What if, everyone around you wasn't exactly who they said they were? Do you want to know the truth?"
"Yes"
"Touch this blue box and I'll show you how far the rabbit hole goes"
;D Or something like that!

Hmmmmm, interesting.
-
Yorrick is takin ova! Like a gazillion posts... lol
-
I think he's made more threads in the animorphs forum than any other member. as for the question, it would be good idea, but I don't think they'd do it in fear of creating another traitor. and personally, I don't really like the idea of melissa becoming an animorph.
-
Melissa would've been too risky.
They really should've just kidnapped Tom, staged a death, and given him the morphing power. That wouldn't have helped with the plot though.
-
How so??
-
stage a death?
That would mean they'd have to find tom from everyone, including his family, or stage a death for all of them too. I don't think even could have lead a world saving team for a place in the woods for that long.
Still to dangerous
-
They wouldn't because they worked better as that small team. The other teams worked cause they were separated
-
Plus, how would Tom live? He can't live in the other Animorph's homes. He would feel as if the Animorphs have taken his human life away, just like David's.
-
What human life? Tom was a prisoner of his own body by an alien slug!
He would have felt GRATEFUL and certainly not bitter like David.

He could live with the hork-bajir, but as you said he would feel as if the animorphs had taken his human life away. BUTTTTTT him being a controller and all, dont ya think he'd just be happy hes free?

aww yorick you posted that a couple of seconds before I posted mine, now I look stupid!!!!! :sad49:

BUMP

Wait, they couldn't have done that with Tom....don't you see? The Yeerks would not have let Tom just "go missing" or have a death faked. They would've hunted him down, he was getting higher in the ranks. If he all the sudden went missing or dead, and then another "Andalite Bandit" showed up, they'd put 2 and 2 together. And then they'd kill Jake's family. And maybe Jake in his sleep. Or whatever.
I really think that more members wouldn't have provided much. They were a unit. They knew each other. One more body to protect and try not to leave behind might have been too much. Especially someone who is not like the auxilary morphs. Someone who could make up their mind to go wherever and do whatever they wanted. David was the classic example of what would've happened.
You lost everything, the aliens are trying to control your mind or destroy you, and we are the only hope to save the world. Here is a power greater than anything you've ever known. But you can't use it unless it is to help us kill things. You can't even go anywhere or do anything without telling us. We own you now. And if you don't listen, we will murder your family who has already been taken by aliens...... ok?
I'm glad they didn't recruit anyone else. I wanted them to, but if we wanted the series to be the way it is (classic), the new animorph wouldn't have made a very large impact on the war. And if the new animorph didn't make a significant impact, why add him/her?

::) I'm pretty sure the Animorphs would use a little more tact, compassion and plain old subtlety if they had started recruiting
-
::) I don't think he meant those are the exact words the animorphs are gonna say. I think he meant that's how the new guy will interpret what the animorphs say.

I didn't say they would use those exact same words, kiddo.
And I don't think that a recruit will necessarily interpret things that way with the right proposal.
Quit trying to play the smat-ass game , Morfowt. Esp. with me. You're just not.. well, smart enough.

well when you say

it easily gave me the idea that you thought those would be the exact words the animorphs would say.

With all due respect-what little there is, I mean-SHUT UP!

Before recruiting a new member, I would have the Animorphs morph Leerans to do a mind scan of the new wannabe. If the wannabe passes the mind scan, out comes the blue box.

I'm pretty sure the Animorphs lost their leeran morphs when they returned to their mosquito bodies in 18.

Even if they did have them, Cassie would have morality issues with reading other peoples minds :P

How so? It wasn't a Sario Rip situation where everything that happens gets deleted. I have assumed that the Animorphs' actions in the Leeran theater did not get erased when they got rubber banded back to Earth. Therefore, their acquisitions of Leeran morphs should not get erased either.
-
Of course they should have. Just because something went wrong in a scenario they didn't control, doesn't mean the whole idea is bad. Granted they had miraculously all survived that long, but they were also losing the war. They slowed down the Yeerk invasion, but they weren't stopping it.
