so i was doing some reading and is it true those monsters out there don't have any eyes?

[he asks because, well, from the sound of it he's going to have to fight one at some point. normally, Tobias' battlemorph is his normal body- the red tailed hawk. but if these things don't have eyes, then that'll pose a problem. the hawk always goes for the eyes, he's used that to his and the other Animorph's advantage before, but he'll be useless like this, and he can't think of any other morph that would be useful. the polar bear will get too warm, he can't fight as an Andalite, not well at least, and Ket will be too tall to hit something at knee level.

not that. he's going to mention any of this.]

also i know we can't actually GO home but, is there a way to send a message back home or something? or maybe send out a distress signal for help? they always do that in the movies when a ship is in trouble and from the look of it we're in trouble.

[he winces at his own post, because it sounds pretty lame, but hopefully it'll keep him under the radar as well as get him some answers for the time being.]

Logic?

[nothlit]

yes?

[he doesn't really understand what she's asking him..]

[chuffle]

How will they get it before we die, if we presume everything we know about space travel is right?

Granted, we could all be very, very wrong.

[nothlit]

i think that depends on who you're talking about. i mean i don't know much, but Spock is here. and Kirk. and Obi Wan Kenobi. and R2D2.

[that's gotta count for something]

[chuffle]

Old Kenobi or young Kenobi?

(Same question for Spock and Kirk)

[nothlit]

they're all young.

[chuffle]

Well.

Okay then.

[nothlit]

does it matter?

[chuffle]

It might!

[nothlit]

why?

[chuffle]

Who knows. There are a lot of variables.

[nothlit]

well what do you think?

[chuffle]

I think we all better get used to freeze-dried ice cream.

[nothlit]

they don't actually have freeze dried ice cream up here.

[chuffle]

They seem really content to ruin my childhood perception of space.

[nothlit]

you obviously never watched star trek.

[chuffle]

Guilty as charged.

[nothlit]

that's okay, it's kind of nerdy anyway

[chuffle]

What's your name, friendly nerd?

[nothlit]

i'm Jake

[it still looks funny to type, and to say. he wonders what Big Jake will say if he finds out Tobias took his name for months on end.]

[chuffle]

Daphne.

[nothlit]

nice to meet you.

[chuffle]

You, too.

For what it's worth, I hope you're right.

[nothlit]

about which part?

[chuffle]

Getting a message home.
