Animorphs Forum Classic / Re: What should have happened to Aftran 942?

Aftran was a known traitor to the Yeerks. She was being tortured for information regarding the Yeerk Peace Movement and she might well have given up what she knew about the Animorphs.
Try to remember, Cassie risked not only her own life, but the life of Ax to go to the Yeerk Pool alone to rescue her.
She was useless to both the YPM and the Animorphs at that point. She was a low ranking Yeerk who's only saving grace was apparently figuring out that Cassie was one of the so called Andalite Bandits, a piece of information she wasn't even willing to share with her superiors. She probably didn't even have access to the Pool Ship, let alone any of the information higher ranking Yeerks would be privy to. So she was more of a liability than an asset.
Letting her become a Nothlit was the merciful thing to do.
