Seerow

As I'm reading through the Hork Bajir Chronicles, there's something that stood out to me about Seerow. The fact that his crime is called Seerow's Kindness is a bit ironic. As he's with the Hork Bajir, he is miserable. Possibly the kindest species out there, but because they're not intelligent, he's not interested, and he's unwilling to interact with Dak because while Dak is incredibly intelligent, he was raised in a simpler society and needs to be taught all the new concepts he didn't know. Seerow may have shared his knowledge with the Yeerks, but he's just as arrogant as other andalites in a different way. He is only interested in intelligence because the Yeerks are smart, he is also unwilling to see them as enemies. I don't know how coherent that was, but it was interesting to think about as I was reading.

I also wonder if KA Applegate had some thoughts on how men and women handle change, as Aldrea and her mother thrive in the new environment, but her brother and father wilt.

Just some thoughts :D

I was gonna draw Aldrea's family portrait, when I realized just how small my sketchbook is, so here's just her parents.

“<You fool,> Alloran said again. <You coddled them. You trained them. You showed them the universe. You showed them all the things they could not have, living here on this planet of theirs. You even built them portable Kandronas and thus freed them.>

<The Yeerks are intelligent, sentient creatures. They have a right to join other sentient races. They have a right->

<A quarter million highly intelligent, ruthless, and determined parasites have just been loosed upon the galaxy,> Alloran said flatly. <They have six Andalite ships. How long before they learn to build their own ships? How long before they become a plague? How long till they find some race more useful than the Gedds, some race they can infest and transform into shock troops? There are thousands of inhabited planets in just this arm of the galaxy.>

Alloran turned all four of his eyes on my father. <Prince Seerow, you are relieved of duty.>

<You can't relieve me!> my father cried.

<When a commander has become incapacitated due to injury or mental defect, his subordinates may relieve him,> Alloran quoted from the regulations.

<What mental defect?> my father demanded.

<Stupidity,> Alloran said harshly. <The stupidity of kindness. Charity to potential enemies. You're a fool, Seerow. A soft, sentimental, well-meaning fool. And now my men are dead and the Yeerks are loose in the galaxy. How many will die before we can bring this contagion under control? How many will die for Seerow's kindness?>”

Alloran prepares, Seerow hopes, Garoff watches, and Aldrea, a child, is too young to fully grasp the implications of the history being made - but she is old enough to sense the tensions and tell the story.

Since no one answered me the first time I posed this question, I’m going to try again - is there seriously no fic about Seerow?
