If the yeerks really invaded earth...

If the Yeerks where really invading earth in a full scale assault, and the Animorphs where around, what would you do? Fight? hide? what?

Probably try and find a way to join the YPM and become a voluntary controller for a nice Yeerk who is not a power-control sadistic freak.

My first reaction would most likely include balling up under the covers for a while but when pushed Id like to believe I would fight, definitely wouldnt want the human race to be enslaved

since there is no way we could compete with alien technology, and with the thought of free or dead, i would probably go into the yeerk pool guns-a-blazin and try to take out as many as i could

That would depend. If I had the ability to morph, I'd find a useful and strong bird, find out where Visser Three tends to be, find myself a sniper and shoot that bastard from a mile away...preferably with an M82. Failing that, turn into a Hork Bajir and go crazy. And if I didn't have the ability to morph, go down to the gunstore, hole up there with a couple of mates and shoot anything that comes through the door, controller or not.

Fight if I could morph, Hide with people with guns if I couldn't morph, Hide with the Chee if I couldn't morph and stumbled into one and recognised him, Die if all else fails (preferably by painless morphine overdose or a nice, quick, clean bullet, either one administered by my adoring Dad, who'd never let me be a Controller...he's a very '2nd Amendment, over-my-dead-body' type).

What can you do, y'know?
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Because I get lonely inside my head all by myself!

Besides, I have a very negative view of humanity in general and doubt that we would be saved - Animorphs or no. So when its all said or done and humanity is enslaved I'd rather have a nice alien in my head than a mean one.

Wow, I never realized I was such a defeatest before. Now I've depressed myself.


Well, if I could morph or something I would go Rachel style, totally. But only if I felt like I had some sort of weapon.

I'd form a resistence by freeing as many hosts as possible, while still risking infestation. There's at least one way you could fake infestation...

After freeing them, along with a few adults, who'd (hopefully) be willing to join me, we'd leave the state and go from place to place freeing people.

Oh man....think if a Yeerk took over someone with MPS (Multiple Personality Syndrome). That would be awesome. Either you wouldn
't be alone, or someone would overpower and rape the slug.

hahaha i like your honesty!
I would hide.
If friends/family were in direct danger I would fight to save them, but I think if they all died and I was living in complete fear and everyone I cared for was gone, i'd also commit suicide.
"I always considered myself a loner. I mean, not like a poor-me, Byron-esque, I-should-have-broughta-swimming-buddy loner. I mean the sort of person who doesn’t feel too upset about the prospect of a weekend spent seeing no one, and reading good books on the couch. It wasn’t like I was a people hater or anything. I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

Well, while i was reading those posts, some people don't seem to understand the concept of fear. Suuuure.... you say these things, fight like Rachel or stuff, but i bet the sight of a single Hork-Bajir slashing his razor blades at you will keep you in nightmares for weeks (unless you're in predator morph, which is unlikely). I have been close to dying, no, not dying by sickness, actual near being dead, being killed by an animal, and I can tell you, fear can eat you out. It's like you want to beg not to die. It's not easy going Rachel, even with morphing power, believe me.
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th
