Raya leaned back against one of the support beams in the stable. Her eyes flit back and forth, following the conversation. Every once in awhile they fall on Tora/Ertoran, and it is with some difficulty that Raya pulls her gaze away.
<You need to get over it, chica> Marisol commented, <she's an Andalite and she's here to stay.>
Raya ignored her hosts input, not wanting to get into it with her. Instead, she focused on Garrett's concerns, as he seems to have a lot of good points. Ben, on the other hand, seemed to be a bit clueless. Raya sighed inwardly.
<Humans...> she muttered, pushing herself away from the support beam and into the conversation.
"Obviously the majority of nothlit's are in a non-human form," Raya said, "there are a number of Yeerks who were selected to be trapped in human guise, but those Yeerks are unlikely to want to risk losing their sentient bodies. It is likely that there will be a few human nothlit's on board, certainly a driver and some security, but what else I do not know. The Andalites -" she cannot help but curl her lip slightly, -"have worked tirelessly with the humans to ensure that most Yeerks do not become trapped permanently in bodies that are deemed dangerous.
In addition to that," Raya went on, taking a deep breath. This is the most she has talked since meeting up with the small group, "the humans and Andalites that attend the parade will not see this float as an attempt for the Yeerks to show their pride. In fact, it will be viewed as an opportunity to publicly renounce their former tormentors. I think the situation has the potential to be a lot more dangerous than any of us are accounting for. With that in mind, we need a more secure plan than simple surveillance in case like this."
