She woke up just lying there.  She felt...strange, different.  Like she wasn't quite herself.  And she was sure she wasn't.  For one thing...well, she didn't have those hooves, or that blue fur, that she saw.  She didn't have a...well, we won't go there, okay?  And she sure as hell had never been able to see so well.

All around her were unfinished buildings, and old, rusty construction materials.  She was lying by an old earthmover.  She began to rise to her feet, feeling stronger than she did before, and...optimistic.  She didn't know where it came from.  I'm an Andalite... she thought.  Then, her eyes spotted a light in the sky.  It was very distant.

Old, abandoned construction lot...oh, holy mackerel, I know what that means...

[Chatvert]

The world had receded to blackness, and just as suddenly and violently became matter again. Only Alex wasn't in her room anymore. Her room was not primarily composed of dirt and twilit sky.

"That was probably...a really bad idea," she said groggily, sitting up and looking around. Was that an Andalite over there? "Aaa! I'm going crazy!"

[Chad32]

Steven and Chad woke up in separate places on the other side. Steven found himself on the outskirts of the infamous construction site. Chad found himself on the border of town with a machine in his lap. A note instructed him in the use of his portable kandrona machine, and was told he may use it. Unfortunately he was only allowed one. If he lost it, he wouldn't be given another. They both began exploring their surroundings.

[Crimea River]

Jamie noticed the girl, and started walking over to her.  She set the tailblade on the ground, not wanting her to be afraid.  <If you're going crazy, then I am too,> her voice resounded in her head.  It didn't sound feminine.

[Chatvert]

"Holy...holy crap," Alex said, clapping her hands to her ears before realizing that wouldn't help at all. "You're really an Andalite? Cooool. Can I touch your tailblade? Or is that like a severe breach of etiquette?"

[Crimea River]

<I'm not a real Andalite,> Jamie replied.  <I mean, real in body, but not in mind.  I'm actually human.  Ooh, I wonder if I can morph.> She moved her tailblade, in a fluid motion, over to Alex so she can touch.  <And feel free.> Jamie noticed a light in the sky with her stalk-eye.  <Is that...could it be...?>

[Chad32]

"Oh. My. God." Steven said as he walked forward. "This is really happening, isn't it? The site. The landing spacecraft. And you're an Andalite. Oh man. Part of me is excited, and the other part is terrified. You know what happens after Elfangor gets here, right? Wait! We totally have to get Elfangor to safety! When he lands, we grab him and haul butt, right?"

[Chatvert]

"Good idea..." Alex said, nodding, before doing a double-take. "No, wait, bad idea! What are we supposed to say to him? 'Hi, follow us, otherwise Visser Three's going to morph into a hellbeast and eat you'? No way! He'll think we're Yeerks and have our heads off, snicker-snack!" she said, and ran a thumb lightly along the edge of the sharpened bone of Jamie's tailblade. It broke the skin and she withdrew her hand before the blade drew blood. "Nice sharp edge you've got there," she said casually.

[Chad32]

"Oh, right. We only have like two minutes to get him to trust us. If he thinks we're Yeerks for a second, the great and glorious one will slice and dice us. But this guy is an Andalite. Kind of. Oh man. He's almost here. I do NOT want to see him get eaten. Reading about it was bad enough. On the bright side, Visser Three will eventually fall into massive villain decay. I'm genre savvy."

[Crimea River]

<We must save him whether he wants saving or not,> Jamie replied.  <And since I'm an Andalite, I should know of Yeerks; I can tell him.  I doubt he'd believe I was a Controller.>  Jamie wouldn't be able to stomach Elfangor getting eaten.  She turned her stalk eyes to the ship, waiting for it to land.  <Then again, he may truly be far too injured to live.  If that's the case...I would hate to, but I will probably have to give him a painless death.>  She hated having to say that; it made her feel sick.  But Elfangor getting eaten was far worse.

[Chad32]

"That...would be better." Steven said, trying not to choke on the words. "So...what about the box? We are so not leaving it in the site for the next couple of years. At the very least, to prevent a David fiasco."

[Crimea River]

<We take it with us,> Jamie replied.  <It is as simple as that.>  She watched as the ship landed, and the hatch extended.

(Chatvert, are you willing to NPC Elfangor?)

[Brad the Brit]

Law walked out from behind the corner of a building. For some reason the Ellimest had decided it would be funny to drop him off away from the others.

"What the hell is going on i thought this was a hoax", he watched the ship land a few meters away. "But obviously i was wrong..." he said amazement filling his voice.

[Chad32]

Steven tried to keep from blurting out anything that might make Elfangor think he was a Yeerk. The best he could muster up was "Hey there." He gave a slight wave as he said it.

[Crimea River]

Jamie walked over to the ship.  <Do not worry; we are not foe,> she assured him.  She wondered how he'd respond to an Andalite being there...
