Ein Bussard im Fenster / A hawk in the window
Tobias: <Let me in! I can't fly around out here forever.> Jake: "I'm hearing Tobias talk inside my head.“ Marco: "Me too“ Jake: "Yes, that means...“ Marco: "Tobias morphed a eagle or something. Look, he is flapping in front of your window.“ Tobias: <A red- tailed hawk, to be exact. Now open the window.> You hear a window open. Marco: "Hey, Tobias, I thought we decided not morph no more.“ Tobias: <I never agreed on that.> Jake: "Alright, Tobias. Now change back. You know, what the Prince said: Never stay more than two hours in another form.“ Tobias: "That was the coolest thing, I've ever done!“ Jake: "How in the world did you morph a hawk?“ Tobias: "There was an injured hawk in Cassie's barn. I touched this one and absorbed his DNA. That way I can always turn into a hawk from now on.“ Jake: "DNA? What's that?“ Tobias: "It's a short-term for a living creature. Some kind of code, which is in every cell of the body. However, I flew around and looked for the Yeerk Pools.“ Jake: "What's a Yeerk Pool, Tobias?“ Tobias: "The Yeerks live there in their natural form. Every threee days a Yeerk has to leave its host body and go to the Yeerk pool, to absorb nutrients. Especially Kandrona rays.“ Jake: "Did you know this, Marco?“ Marco: "Not at all.“ Tobias: "When you two were in the spaceship, the Prince gave me a lot of information through telepathy.“ Marco: "Not that loud, Tobias. Tom is one of them.“ Jake: "Don't make me hurt you, Marco! Tom isn't a Controller!“ Tobias: "Hey, hey ,hey! Cool, guys. So. The Kandrona is a device, which produces Kandrona particles. It's some kind of portable mini version of the Yeerk's home sun. They need the rays to live, like we need vitamins. The Kandrona rays are collected in the Yeerk pool.“ Marco: "Remember: We decided to stay out of this.“ Jake: "No. We wanted to decide later.“ Tobias: "I decided for me.“ Marco: "Oh, suddenly, this coward is a hero.“ Tobias: "Maybe I just found something that's worth fighting for.“ Marco: "You don't even fight for yourself!“ Tobias: "That was before I met the Prince. He gave his life for us. So, no matter what you decide, boys, I'll fight and find the Yeerk pool.“ Marco: "Remember the policeman, who is probably a Controller, Jake?“ Jake: "What's with him, Marco?“ Marco: "Think of it: He invites you to the Sharing. Then Tom comes by, asks you about the construction site – and invites you to the same club.“ Tobias: "This Sharing is maybe an organization for Controllers.“ Marco: "Right, Tobias. To me, This policeman is a Controller. And no matter, what you say, Jake: Tom is one, too. Now I'm curious how determined you are to fight the Yeerks, if it turn out that you have to fight against your own brother.“ Jake: "I think, we should first check on a Sharing meeeting this evening.“ Marco: "We just take look at this? Then I'm in.“ Jake: "Good. I'll call Rachel and Cassie and tell them. I'm sure, Tom will take us to the meeting. Tobias, you look over the task as a hawk from above.“ Tobias: "Where is this meeting, anyway?“ |
