FBI HQ Quantico Virginia

December 8th 2008

The two FBI agents escorted the man into the integration room. Both of them were rather annoyed at having to transport a witness to a crime that had been resolved ten months ago, however, it was a necessary step, each member of the groups had been interrogated and enough information about the events of the past few months had been pieced together. This last one was a mere formality.

The man was slightly tall with dirty red hair and brown eyes, he spoke with a slight southern accent that he didn't even notice. There was a large scar on his left cheek.

They sat him down in the chair and turned on the recorder. The interrogator started off simple.

"State your full name for the record along with any known aliases"

"Erik, Cortez, Bishop. AKA Copper head, burning cougar, and Dr. Morph"

"Occupation at times of incidents?"
"Medical Student at Davidson University in Charlotte NC."

"What was your role in the resistance?"

"I was the leader of a resistance group known as Glass Dagger our focus was to steal information on the invasion, hinder invader's efforts, and kill key members of the invaders army."

"How did you accomplish this without alerting the invaders?"

"Stealth mainly, we would go in and out quickly leaving little evidence of our presence. Most of our work was blamed on the Animorphs."

"The Animorphs are in possession of a gift to change forms are you in the possession of the gift as well?"

"Yes, our organization came across the power sometime after we began our efforts. We obtained it by replicating the technology used by the alien race called Andilites. Which we acquired by intercepting transmissions from the aliens 'secure' radios.'

"Now explain the purpose of Applegate project." The questions would progressively harder from here on out.

"The Applegate project was an effort by members of the resistance force 'Animorph' to warn the public about the infiltration of earth by a patristic race of aliens known as Yerks. The project was carried out in the form of a series of books published through the Scholastic publishing company. Each member of the Animorph group participated in this project.

"The project was valid until late 2000 when the project was discovered and turned to propaganda by the invaders."

"What was the last valid publication of the Applegate project"

"Not sure of the title although I believe it was called The Revelation it told of Marco Rodriguez's retreat into a valley of Hork-Baijar." The interrogator, being a former controller didn't need to ask about the alien word. "Afterwards the books were changed in order to create the illusion that the resitance's backs were against the wall. The final book ended in a 'cliff hanger' as I am sure that you're other interrogations have revealed the book was total fiction."

"Sine the Applegate project was false," The interrogator spoke again. "What were the real events leading to the isolation of the Animorph organization, the merger between them and Glass Dagger, and the final invasion of the enemy base."

"I can't say much about what led to the isolation of the Animorph's since I was not aware of their existence at that time, anything I would tell you would be hearsay."

"We don't care tells us what you heard."

"The group retreated to the colony of Hork-Baijar after the infiltration of the Applegate project to avoid being discovered. It was about this time that my group met with theirs."

"We have learned a lot about your group from Mrs. Bishop, your wife, so I want you start at how you first came in contact with the Animorph resistance group."

"In order to tell you that I'll need to start off with one of our last missions alone…" Erik made himself comfortable, this could be a very long story. He would have a hard time telling it. The events that occurred had taken 4 of his best friends (his group had taken the heaviest casualties) among the dead was his brother-in-law, and his own sister. While he still felt stabs of guilt he though he was over the pain enough that he could tell his tale.

"Hope you've got a lot of them tapes." He said.
