Subject: Your help please
It has come to my attention that you were a prominent member of the world- (or rather, galaxy-) famous Animorph guerrilla fighters against the Yeerk invasion. Like you, I experienced this war first-hand. However, we differ in that I was a Human Controller, while you actively and secretly fought the Yeerks with your friends and the ability to turn into any animal you touch. I understand that this is Andalite technology that was given to you by Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul. This technology is now being used by the U.S. Military.
The reason I am contacting you is because you may have information on the whereabouts of my son, David.
When my wife and I were infested two years ago, we learned of the circumstances that led up to it. Our son David had found the "blue box" or Escafil device and was planning to sell it on eBay. Visser Three, as he was called at the time, was going to buy the device. I came home that day to find that the house alarm had been tripped. The next thing I knew, wild animals and aliens were in my house, destroying it. My wife came home and both of us were whisked away to be infested. Meanwhile, David disappeared.
The other human-controllers told my Yeerk and I that David had escaped, and if he wasn't hiding out of fear, he had been kidnapped by the "Andalite bandits". The Andalite bandits, I was told, were the most likely suspects. "Why else would a bunch of animals with one Andalite attack a house where the Escafil device was?" they said.
After that, everyone was desperate to find David again. My wife and I - because we loved David so much, and the Yeerks because David had seen Andalites, Hork-Bajir, and a Dule Fansa. They were also desperate to find him because if the Andalite bandits had found him, they would have him join their forces. Using my position in the National Security Agency, the Yeerks (and some normal humans) began their search.
It came to a head at one point when David called my cell phone from a pay phone outside a 7-Eleven. His end disconnected prematurely and instantly we traced the call and arrived at the spot in 2 minutes. David was not there, but a rhino and a gorilla were. This fed the Yeerks' suspicions that David was with the Andalite bandits. We haven't seen him since.
By now, you know where I am going with this. The secret is out: The Andalite bandits were actually the Animorphs, and you were a member. I know you know something about our son, Miss Logan. Please help us.
Sincerely, Stan Debassy, Director of Internal Affairs, NSA
