Alloran's Betrayal (challenge: Theft)

"So the Andalites have ships in all these sectors... and in these positions..."

"Forrr a disgrrrace, Alloran sure knew-rrr a lot..."

Alloran heard the comments the Controllers made. He felt the metal restraints on each of his limbs, tail and neck. And he swore he saw Esplin laughing softly in the Yeerk Pool, though he knew it was impossible.

But what Alloran felt most, beyond the jeers of the Controllers, the probing of the thieving memory dump, the pain of the restraints...

Most painful, most piercing of all to the Butcher of Hork-Bajir was the shame of betraying his people.
