Now that's just unfair.

"I can practice tawlking while I answer." He sounds like he has a very strong accent, but he no longer sounds like a toddler contentedly babbling in a playpen.

"How many sapient species are there?"

Permalink

"Lots. Lotz. Lotssss - why is that sefific - spacific - specific sound so difficult - we know of at least eight or nine, nine, and we are not a peoplllle who have committed our resources mostly to exploration; there are likely hundredz. Hundredsss."

Andi snickers at him - and then starts giggling - and then breaks down into hysterical laughter.

Permalink

"Is that lafter - laughter - because I do not think I willlllll be able to imate it. Imitate it."

Permalink

"Yes, Andi is laughing at how you pronounce terminal Z sounds."

Permalink

"Ha. Hahahaha. Pfft. Giggle. Terminal z soundzzzzz are ridiculous and your language owe-suh - owes - the galaxy an apologeee. Galaxeeee. Apologeeee."

"Do you have other questshunz. Quest-yuns. Questionss."

"- what are the other species like?"

"There are no free Hork-Bajir anymore. All of them are slaves of the Yeerkz. Yeerks. The Arn, who created them, are extinct also. Oh.

The Taxxons were unhappy before the Yeerks and partnered with them happileee. Le. The speciez - specheese - spe-sees I men-shuned earlier, that can read minds, are called Leerans. On the Yeerk home world there are the Gedd. The Skrit Na are" - he sends an image of a cockroach-like thing - "that cocoons -oons- and then becomes" - an adorable little gray alien with a big head -

"...do Skrit Na also sometimes abduct humans or is that a coincidence of popular culture - which did the Arn create, the Yeerks or the Hork Bajir -"

Permalink

"Hork Bajir. The Skrit Na might sometimezz abduct humans, it would not be out of character. There's the Desbadeen - I haven't met any, but you see their trading ships in port - the Kelbrid we have a ceasefire with and no Andalite has ever seen them, but they respect the border...I also have not met the Howjabran, though those I have seen pictures of, the Yeerks attempted to infest them and a colony ship with eight thousand dead was found by Andalites -"

"Why hasn't Earth been openly contacted by anybody?"

Permalink

"You're far away, faster-than-light travel can be unreliable, you are not very interesting except to a very altruistically minded society or, well, Yeerks and those who oppose them."

Permalink

"Unreliable how? What makes societies interesting?"

Permalink

"Routes through z-space are sometimes unstable. It will take the main Andalite fleet perhaps years to reach us here.You have rather little to trade. Though Andalites will be interested, if we win this war, in coming for the morphing. As-" he concentrates - "Astonishing biodivisity - no, diversity, biodiversity, astonishing biodiversity, Earth."

Permalink

"Are Andalites really interested in turning into beetles? We definitely have beetles."

Permalink

"No, that doesn't sound very appealing. Peeling. A-peeling. But you have a lot more birds than us. We have three."
