0.00006 inches is 15 microns, and a human body cell is 50 microns across. So yeah that's around the range where you could plausibly be eaten by a microbe or maybe a very very small bug.

My assumption is V2 is in charge of the space war against the Andalites, and is thus a permanently panicking and overwhelmed grand strategist who nobody dares interfere with, lest the whole thing collapse instantly.

V2 is at best going to be angrily posting on a blog about how her daughter and the yeerk assigned to infest have both estranged themselves from her.

It seems like they really sacrificed everything else into order to get as much ghost pirate action as possible

Ax is going around all these places as an Andalite too. Dozens, maybe hundreds of uninfested humans have seen a knifedeer alien wrecking stuff.

So this takes it from X Files “there’s something weird going on in this town but nobody knows what” to XCOM “it’s public knowledge that an alien is doing crimes with a gang of animals”

I feel like this sort of shenanigans is the kind of stuff the gang should have been doing semi-regularly by halfway through the series. More ruining the Yeerk’s plans in incredibly public and insane ways that can’t be covered up by local police. Rather than irrelevant plots like the seastar thing or the Australia thing.

Stealing 1000 lb bombs is so complicated and dangerous. There has to be a better way!

Not sure how it’s possible to lose 80 gallons of fluid while in a Yeerk pool but ok?

glad you’re on the mend!

Clearly one of those weird new aliens that only show up for one book.
