The Twin
« on: November 12, 2008, 08:37:57 PM »
1) Who do you think burned down Joe Bob's house

2) And much more importantly: The yeerks never seem to have a hierarchy based on birth, maybe the council did, but the general population seemed to advance via individual effort. And Esplin and bro seem to have no connections to power based on birth from the get go
So why is it that Esplin 9466 secondary says that only the prime on got all the good jobs and host and etc?
There were no other implications that one twin would be favored over another was there?
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

There was one brief mention in the HBC, where Esplin mentioned he had a twin, and was actually chatting with him, although his twin was the "lesser". But other than that, there was zip, nada, squat about it.

maybe when they're born, a superior automatically says one is prime and another is lesser regardless of anything else.

maybe lesser isnt like an official **** list, but it is an official title, so anyone in command looking for people to promote through the ranks is gonna see lesser in his name and be like haha no way I don't want some lesser, wheres the good one. And he just never advances because nobody makes the choice to advance him.

even if it's one of their own.

I'm not sure who burned down JB's house.

It wasn't Jake, that much I'm sure of.

Unless of course Rachel suggested it, Marco jumped in because he doesn't want to look like a wimp, Jake decides to because Tom might find out about the websit and get killed, Cassie does it because Fenestre is a sick, sick *******, and Ax does it because 'he must follow his Prince' but he really just wants to. Oh, and Tobias would follow Rachel to the ends of the Earth Universe every Universe in every galaxy in every dimension. Except for when she dies. Yeah, that's the only time he doesn't follow her. And he wants to get back at the dude who froze her for a while.
I used to be V, before that I was Tobiasfan21. Then I disappeared for several months after being kidnapped by the Twilight series. Don't make me talk about it, it was horrible. Now, I'm V2113.

I am currently a Heroes fan who enjoys writing more than anything in the world.

why would he burn the house himself, if the house gave him protection from the animorphs?

to spite an Andalite perhaps? He was hoping for an Honourable death and dieing from an Andalite seemed  like a happy ending for him (or so he said) maybe he was trying to die from an actual Yeerk enemy not as a traitor.

 well, maybe because they needed to avoid confusion.

Maybe, and this is more likely, its like a myth thing that one twin has to be designated the lesser because genetically a twin is a curse, or something like that.

it aint a curse, Fenestre said that in several situations the twins were powerful allies, but Visser 3 wanted complete tyranny over Earth and his twin messed that up by being competant.

Yea, remember Fenestre became a valuable asset to the invasion of Earth all on his own by building a vast computer network that could easily be used to spy on people. By that time, He accomplished more than the abysmal amount Visser 3 did, and Visser 3 does not credit subordinates. Thus, by being competent and clever, Fenestre forced Visser 3 to exile him as a traitor.
