"Well met," Illim echoes, his tone now relieved. "Serid?" he beckons to the Andalite.

Serid takes a step forward and then balks, eying the War Prince carefully. <<I hope you do not think less of me,>> he tells Ossanlin privately before walking fully into the room and lowering his ear to the pool. His hands shake as he grasps the nearby table's surface. It had been a long time since he had accepted a new Yeerk into his brain, but he was propelled by the thought that this will be the very last time. Perhaps he could return to his own people now.

[Terenia]

 Terenia automatically moves closer to the pool when Serid approaches it. She has to stop herself from reaching out and yanking the nothlit back. Something about Corliss infesting a stranger does not settle well with her, and she glares at Illim, as if this is entirely his fault.

"If this is some sort of trap, I will kill you." she growls.

[Chad32]

<Man that guy's got problems.> Derrel said about Terenia. There wasn't any point in trying to run away, but he wished Illim was armed. Or would it matter, with the Andalite there?

[Myitt]

Corliss steels his nerves and starts writhing his way into the human ear canal, wondering what sort of business Myitt has gotten him into now...

When he touches Serid's mind, however, his irritation is replaced by shock.  Memories of an alien world, an alien life and body, flood his mind.  He is so absorbed in the flickering Andalite memories that he doesn't even greet his new, albeit temporary, host.  How different they were from anything he'd experienced!  Not just two eyes, but four.  Not the compound eyes of a Taxxon.  He pushes further into Serid's mind with the giddiness of a grubling at training.  

<Wait a minute, Corliss,> he whispers tremulously to himself.  <Get it together, mate.  You've got to focus here...>

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver tried to shake the weariness from her system and her hearing was better now. She looked at the portal as she had over heard the conversation. "I'm in." she said with a wince of soreness and tried to stand.

[Chad32]

"Are you sure about that, Silver? I mean, you may not be able to talk to your family again. I like you and your folks, and I wouldn't want you to go off to unknown space alone." Temrash said.

<That is brave of you Silver. Braver than I, to be honest. Of course even if I wanted to go, I'd have to clear it with my Prince.> Claxter said.

[KitsuneMarie]

<<This arrangement,>> Serid tells Corliss after watching him eagerly rifle through his memories, <<is strictly temporary. I understand that few Yeerks have the opportunity to infest an Andalite, but please focus on the task at hand.>>

With the practiced ease of a longtime host, he guides more recent memories to the forefront of his mind: Illim speaking with Myitt, Derrel's hesitant agreement to accept Illim into his head, Serid's tumultuous reunion with Tora, Myitt's sleep-hazed instructions from her Bug Fighter.

Of course, other memories are ripe for the picking, including his initial revulsion at being infested by the morphed Tora, his despair as she abandons him in the Yeerk Pool and his frightened determination to become a nothlit rather than a second Abomination, Illim's giddy excitement as he completes his deadly Gleet Biofilter, Serid's first step onto the lush grass of a Dome ship, watching a young Tora attempting not to look bored in the Academy, Serid's heart racing as he and Illim escape Earth after being dismissed from the Peace Movement, hours of Imperials cataloging every nuance of his memories, and his parents' pride at his acceptance into the military.

The memories are complex, filled with emotion-laced thought-speak conversations and views from four angles, filled with fear of dishonoring his race and of his own emerging sympathies for some Yeerks. Bitterness towards what has been done to him, made all the more biting after his recent conversation with Tora.

Serid feels a smirking satisfaction that his memories will reveal a new side of Ertoran, one she has not likely shared with her rebellion friends. He wonders if Corliss will now share his own revulsion of her.


Illim gives Terenia a halfhearted smile. "It's no trap. He's got the Dracon," he waves vaguely towards the now-infested Serid.

He starts to drum his fingers on his arm nervously as he waits for the verdict. <Yeah, reckon you're right,> he tells Derrel in response to his comment. <Hangin' in there?  Look, I'm sorry about this... I really do think we're safe, though. Assuming this Corliss fellow doesn't, you know, decide I'm public enemy number one.>

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver stood, swayed slightly, then made fists at her side. "I'm dead certain. For two reasons. One, choices like this are what led me back to my family. Two, he saved my life back there when you were unable to. I apologize for it I can't control it yet. He saved my life, its the lesst I can do." she said seriously and unafraid.

[Nero's Fury]

Blast walked to Silver and smiled at her before brushing his fingertips against her cheek, ''You are a fighter through and through. Very honorable...'' And then he brought his fingertips to her forehead where he pushed back the energy he had taken before.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She wasn't sure now to react to the gesture with her cheek but when he placed her energy back she took one step back and then felt stronger. She closed her eyes. When they opened they were glowing and then returned to normal with a determined look.

[Chad32]

"I understand. Maybe he can help you with your abilities, as well. I wish the both of you the best of luck. May you both accomplish your goals and come back alive." Temrash said.


<Yeah. I'm ok. It's just that whenever people start glaring at me I find somewhere else to be. That's why I'm not eager to go onto a battlefield. I don't think I'm really a coward, though. I'm just nonconfrontational.>

[radgeek]

Taylis jumped back a bit when the portal opened.  "I'm sorry Blast, but I believe the battle that I must fight is for earth," she said staring at dark hole in space.  "Unless... your people are offering hosts."  That would be a win, win.  I get to leave Amy and get a new powerful host.

[Nero's Fury]

''Well in my dimension there are no species even tainted by Yeerks yet, therefore im sure you can find a powerful host. And we have entire planets made of prisons. So you could find a good host with no difficulty on one, once you explain what you are. Its up to you however what you do, as ive said.''

He then turned back to Silver again, ''I dont know why...but I feel very connected with you...''

[Midnight_Huntress]

What he said surprised her but she offered a smile. "Maybe the drive we share to fight for what we care for. For what we believe in. Mt name is Artemis. Friends call me Silver." she said. Grr golden eyes glittered and then shown the silver overcoat that glazed the gold.

[Nero's Fury]

He stared in her eyes for a moment, ''Thats pretty...'' Then his own eyes shifted to a sky blue color and began showing lightning sizzling around.
