Ax followed the human male silently. He had not performed the morning ritual, about which he was normally more dutiful than enthusiastic. He wished to do it now. However, doing it aloud would have been the equivalent of plastering his species on his artificial skins. Human artificial skins were all much the same to him, but these were not the clothings he had been wearing when he left the mall. These were mostly black, and more complicated than what Rachel had given him.

From the water that gave birth to us..., he thought, and felt somewhat better.

He reached I, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, Andalite warrior-cadet, offer my life, as he was led into a room full of humans, male and female, young and old. He no longer had a tail blade to press against his own throat, but he felt it was having done as well as he could that mattered. Wasn't that a human concept? Sometimes they were wiser than they seemed ( ... )

While the Legion had never really been involved in anything of the sort, the conflict with Imperiex had come close and the following battle with Brainiac 1 ( ... )

"I have found the same to be true. They progressed from barely any, an-ee, controlled flight to manned space missions in less than seventy of their years." Ax looked down at his cleaning work, in hopes of masking that this was something of an affront to his pride. It was much, much more quickly than his own people had advanced ( ... )

Brainiac 5 managed, just barely, to keep his face carefully neutral at that comparison. Not ever species was capable of advancement at the rate that Colu had advanced, though in light of their progress in more recent years, he wasn't certain how much further into the future they would be able to call themselves the most intellectually advanced in the galaxy ( ... )
