Meet N' Greet!

[cityship]

It's big meeting time! Word of mouth gets everyone gathered in the Obs Deck--everyone. New, old, the entire crew is there and that makes it clear that there's close to a hundred of them, if not more.

When they've all arrived, a blue bubble pops up around them, courtesy of Blue Beetle, to block them all from Stacy's sensors. Most of the new people were given the basic rundown by Cybil or Chief when they were first released. Some of them have already joined a discussion with a the Commanding Officers and department heads. Some have had a chance to explore a bit. Some were only just recently released.

Elfangor had found Tobias and Aximili after the meeting Aximili recommended he go to ended. < There's no reason to be ashamed, Tobias. In fact, I have a need to talk to both of you of using your morphs, which I'm almost certain is an extensive range, far beyond the four I have, for communication rings that are being built. They don't want them to break when communication might be essential because of a morph. Only if you wish to volunteer, but it may be better in the long run. > Eflangor thought spoke to his two family members.

< And what would your ability be, miss? > Elfangor asked Elle. It was Andalite unwritten code to not morph for no reason. While he wasn't sure how well Tobias or even Aximili followed it, if they didn't want to do it in front of everyone, they didn't have too.

Unless what this girl could do was something that should be seen. Something that might help in the future, but he would do the morph instead of making Tobias do it.

So the aliens talked, too. Or, at least... Thought at her. They didn't really appear to have mouths. This didn't unnerve her quite as much as the funny eyes on top of their heads, like the ones on snails. She decided to focus on the face-eyes instead.

"It's not really any fun to just say it," Elle explained, grinning. "It looks pretty cool though."

< Yeah I heard about that. Not really workable in this body. > Tobias replied privately. < It ought to work in my human form though. > He thought through his morphs. < I also have a morph of Ax I could use. It was part of an attempt to stop a Yeerk project, an anti-morphing ray. It's a long, painful story, and I don't talk about it much. I still have nightmares about the way it backfired. I have a Hork-Bajir, like I said, but it's a little too big. Any of my other morphs that are big enough are four footed animals -aside from the Taxxon, which I never want to morph again-and probably wouldn't work well. >

He was nervous about Elle, and a little relieved to see Elfangor. He'd know what to do in this situation.

< I have forty-four morphs, > Ax said privately to Elfangor and Tobias. < Seven of those are human. Would these communicators even work with thought-speech, or would they require modifications? >

Being able to communicate with the others was certainly preferable. Seerow's Kindness forbid the sharing of Andalite technology, but he imagined that Dox might be able to construct something to deal with that.

< We could put the ring on your leg. If it can shift it's width, then it wouldn't matter much where we put it. You'd just have to move it from your leg when you're human. > Elfangor thought. Though upon hearing Tobias had an Andalite morph...

It made him happy inside, to think there was another time he was genetically close to his son, as odd as that sounded. < We could modify them. A device to pick up telepathic communication couldn't hurt anything. It's not like it can read people's minds. > Though if someone was smart enough to make it so...

Well, they could figure out how to make it pick up thought speak on their own if that was the case.

He looked at Elle thoughtfully. < I could show you the Kafit bird. > Letting Elle hear him this time. Knowledge was a good thing on this ship. And showing didn't cause any harm.

< I have either three or four including my own, it's hard to keep track. Anyway I agree about not knowing if it works in thought-speech, and about having to find a way to work them without breaking your laws anymore. > Tobias wondered what the two would think if he told them about how the Yeerks had gotten the cube and how many other humans were now morph capable, as well as many Yeerks themselves.
