Yes it is clear, but I don't have that option! Is it cuz I'm still new?

Hm... I don't see it either. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

No...you should have it as far as I know.  I remember having it as soon as I signed up...

Might want to ask Richard in the "Suggestions/Feedback/Issue" forum at the bottom of the mainpage.
you sure? I didn't get it when I was still a newbie.

Rachel did take on a risky mission, but someone had to do it. 


But did someone really have to?  Was the Blade ship that much of a threat that they couldn't have gotten it later?

Uh...probably, yes.  Especially with a wiley crafty leader like Tom's Yeerk at the helm.  The humans certainly couldn't have tracked him down, and once in Z-Space the Andalites could probably only by chance.

And we know a Blade Ship turned the tide in the initial battle with the Dome/Pool ships in book #1, so they're pretty freakin' substantially powerful.

Tom could absolutely not get away, it was just a matter of how to do it.  Rachel was the obvious choice, and both she and Jake knew it.  No wrong decision made there whatsoever.

Ok, good point.  I guess they couldn't take the chance that the blade ship would stick around and fight (though it seemed more likely they would have fled - pool ship v. blade ship?)

But I seriously doubt a single ship of Yeerks (which still got away anyway) could have made that much trouble.  And they found them again later anyway.

Smart people don't congregate simply to agree on things.  Sorry.
Nor do they get together and insult each other.
Until then we fight.

Have you ever watched a political campaign?

Joking aside, most are.  Honest, no.  Smart, usually yes.

How about you don't try to restart an old argument that has finally stopped.

Yeah.  Those lowly Harvard graduate simpletons.  I totally hate them.  SO dumb.

You could blame no one at all because it's JUST A BOOK SERIES!!!!! 7 This one I don't really believe all that much but I just put it up because no one remembered that fact.
who says? I remembered it, just didn't bother mentioning it here because there were plenty of other threads about the ending and rachel's death.

I meant no one remembered to put it up
I used to be V, before that I was Tobiasfan21. Then I disappeared for several months after being kidnapped by the Twilight series. Don't make me talk about it, it was horrible. Now, I'm V2113.

I am currently a Heroes fan who enjoys writing more than anything in the world.
