We waited, and we planned, and we found a good entrance. There were some people in cages waiting to either be infested or for their Yeerk to return from its Kandrona bath. Rachel and Daine were with me, and it felt good, it felt normal — and that was awful, wasn't it? That sneaking into the Yeerk Pool was reassuring, and familiar. But it didn't matter, because it was happening. Rachel was here, and the Yeerks were here, and this was what we were meant to do: fight them off, fight them back. Try to help anyone we could.
The Hork-bajir I'd first seen arrive were slouched in their cages, almost all hope gone from them. I'd seen this before. It still twisted my stomach. And the new people, the ones from Darrow, still railed against the bars, screaming to be let go. The echoes were haunting.
<Okay. If we split up, try to hit them from different angles, we might be able to distract them,> I said. I didn't feel right being the one to give orders. That was Jake's role, and it didn't suit me at all.
