Book 16-The Warning

I don't know what she'd have become in her life if this war with the Yeerks hadn't happened.  But once it did happen, it was like Rachel had found her place in the universe, you know?  Like it was all some inevitable part of her destiny.

<Tobias!  It's me, Aximili.  Reassert your individual consciousness.>
--Ax

<Tobias, I think the reason it got dark is that someone sat down.> --Jake
<Wait.  You're saying I'm in a toilet bowl.  And someone sat down.  But then...oh, man.>  --Tobias
<Caution:  falling objects.>  --Marco
<What does all this mean?>  --Ax
<Tobias, I think that for the sake of safety, and also for the sake of avoiding something way too gross to even think about, you need to get out of there.>  --Jake
<How?  How?  The exit's blocked to say the least!>  --Tobias
<Try the space between the toilet seat and the porcelain.>  --Jake
<Oh.>  --Tobias
<Look for the light.>  --Jake
<Go into the light.>  --Marco
...<Will someone please explain what has been going on?>  --Ax
<When you get older maybe.>  --Marco

<Okay, this is cool.  Once you get past the fact that your own body makes you want to throw up.>
<Marco feels that way in his human body.>
--Tobias, Rachel

<Everybody ready?>
<Yes.  But I just want to say this is totally undignified.>
<Do you have your mop?>
<Yes, I have my mop.>
--Jake, Rachel

"A leader may be just as weak or scared or doubtful as anyone else.  But he isn't allowed to show it.  People say they want leaders to be just like them, but I don't think so.  People want leaders to act the way people wish they could act themselves.  Marco and Rachel and Tobias and Ax don't want me to give them permission to be scared.  They want me to help
them be brave."
"We didn't do you any favor when we made you leader, did we?"
"There's something else a leader doesn't do:  complain about being a leader."
"We did pick the right person, though."
--Jake, Cassie

I laughed the way I should and thought to myself, the day will come, Yeerk, when I will tear you out of his head and destroy you for what you've done to my family.
--Jake
