Chapter Three
Technician Meets Engineer
(Ax)
FLASH!
I found myself staring into the eyes of a female with light brown skin, a ridged forehead, wearing a yellow suit, and holding a small scanning device in her hand. Her pupils dilated, and her hand tapped the small badge on her chest.
"Security to Main Engineering! Hurry! Bridge! Intruder alert!"
"B'Elonna, we have intruders appearing in multiple areas. We'll send the EMH to your location."
I did not know where the voice came from, nor did I know what an EMH was. Suddenly, a human shimmered out of thin air. He was holding a weapon. I assumed that he was the EMH.
"Please do not move until additional security personnel arrive. In the meantime, please inform us of your species and name."
I am War-Prince Axmili-Esgarrouth-Isthill of the Andalites.
"This is not true. The Andalites were wiped out by the Romulans over a century ago. And War-Prince Aximili was captured by the Kelbrid, now known as the Borg, and was then killed when three of the original Animorphs rammed the Yeerk Blade ship that the Kelbrid leader was on. So you cannot be Prince Aximili of the Andalites. Tell us the truth."
Just then, the doors at the other end of the room slid open. Three human adult males, carring what appeared to be hand-held weapons, came into the room. They pointed the weapons at me.
If you kill me, you will be eliminating the last of the Andalites. I am actually of the past, sent here by the Ellimist, whom you call a god. The other twenty-five Animorphs have also been sent here.
B'Elonna spoke up. "Why are you here?"
A very powerful being called Crayak, whom you refer to as Satan, has sent you to the Delta Quadrant. The Ellimist has sent all twenty-six of us Animorphs to assist you in getting this interesting vessel back to Earth.
B'Elonna tapped the device on her suit, which I believe held a mico-communication device of some sort. "B'Elonna to bridge. Captain, this intruder claims to be an Andalite, and has information that you might want to hear."
"I'm on my way," came the reply.
Suddenly, I heard thought-speak. Whoa! Jake! Ax! Anybody! It was Tobias.
Tobias, please calm down. I am here. The others might be on this ship also. I am in the room that these people call "Main Engineering." Where are you?
He replied in a hurried tone. I'm in the crew lounge, and Neelix is shooting at me with a hand phaser!
I'll see if I can help, I replied.
I turned to B'Elonna. One of your crewmen, named Neelix, is attacking my friend Tobias in the crew lounge. Please tell Neelix to cease fire, I asked as politely as I could at the moment.
B'Elonna quickly tapped her badge. "Neelix, stop firing! That's Tobias, one of the original Animorphs! I'll explain later."
A moment later, a reply came from the comm unit. "B'Elonna, he's asking where his friends are. Besides, how'd you know it was Tobias?"
She smiled, and then answered. "One of his friends is here with me."
