"I brought Bella's father. Here, learn this chart." She hands him a chart.

Mitros happily reads the chart.

It is not a super happifying chart.

Yeah but knowing how to deYeerk people is a whole lot better than not knowing that.

Yes. "Andalites all clear? I checked you."

"We did a lot of spying with daeva on the flight back, all Yeerks in the universe accounted for."

"Good."

"Uh huh." Alts are fetched so they can all talk strategy in Milliways.

New Bell and her twin stick close together.

"Do you want to start with some kind of overview of -"

<Everything not trivially conjurable?> Tail-nod. <My people are at war with the Yeerks, have been for several decades, and had - before Mitros found me - no particular cause for optimism. Now ending the war is going to be easy to do, hard to do right. Yeerks depend on Kandrona rays for sustenance. We can identify and simultaneously destroy all the Kandrona generators save the Yeerks' own sun and blockade them there. The only drawback is that all of the Yeerks will die.>

"Andalite command regards this as a drawback?"

<Not really.>

"One had our dad."

"How much do Yeerks, like - vary -"

<I have no information about that which is not heavily filtered. They do vary in aptitude and I have no reason to think they do not vary in personality but I have no idea if there are any who object to enslaving innocents.>

"They vary some."

"If you take out all their generators and then tell them you have a generator, but they have to come and surrender..."

<If we had the means to maintain security under those circumstances I anticipate that most of them would come surrender.>

"That's a big if, if you have the only generator they will probably just want to steal it."

<Yes. Even with daeva it would be very challenging.>

"How much latitude do you have on this?"

<I think if the war is over and the Yeerks contained, most scrutiny of how we did it should be survivable.>

"If the generator is on your ship, and there aren't any ships of theirs left, and we have fairies and they don't - sorry, I don't know anything about interplanetary combat, but that doesn't sound hard to secure adequately -"

<We'd have to get millions of Yeerks to the pool, which complicates maintaining security around it, but it's probably not impossible.>
