I know Yeerk security isn't as good as it could be, but I really don't think they'd let some voluntary stroll around anywhere near the exit, even if Aftran said her involuntary host had just recently decided she was ok with being a controller. Right in the first book Jake and Marco were spotted not doing anything and someone demanded who they were. Everyone is being watched. If you aren't exactly where you're supposed to be, you're busted. I don't care how voluntary someone is, the Yeerks are serious about what they do.

I said before this is a plot hole. Fill it in however you want, just try not to Voodoo Shark it, if you know what I mean.

I don't remember reading that biofilters killed hosts w/out Yeerks, only that they kill anything that isn't programmed as acceptable - like insects, rats, Andalites*, etc.

*Insert funny image of Visser Three getting zapped by his own biofilters here.

     I don't know if the Yeerks would kill another Yeerk for not wanting to infest a host. They would have been confused, I'm sure, but probably would have just given Aftran's host to another, more willing host.

Unknown User: Ax tells the Animorphs as much.

Quote
<I think we all are,> Ax said calmly. <We're lucky to be just blinded. A Gleet BioFilter destroys all life-forms whose DNA is not entered into the computer controls. Andalite technology, of course. The Yeerks must have stolen the specifications.>

<Ax, are you telling me that filter thing will wipe out any life-form except the one they program it for?> Jake asked.

<Yes, Prince Jake. I'm sorry to say, yes. Everything but the particular human-Controller.>

I always thought that when aftran got out of Karen into the yeerk pool Karen acted as a controller, exited but never came back

When Karen failed to return after 3 days, and stopped sending in reports on her father, wouldn't the Yeerks have sent someone to investigate, discovered that Karen did not have a Yeerk in her, and either killed her, or dragged her back to the Pool to correct that omission?
