[ Kakashi isn't sure what Marco means by "alien," but an invasion, he can understand. From what Marco describes, these aliens are parasites that take over human hosts, and the invasion is one predominantly concerned with the infestation of human bodies.

What a horrible thing to have to fight. ]

Are you able to turn into other human beings as well?

[guerrilla_morph]

I could. We don't really use it that way often since it can be a risk.

[ Marco decides not to explain the moral reason why the Animorphs don't morph sentient beings. Maybe later, if Marco feels comfortable about talking the technicalities. ]

Not to mention morphing people here is a little useless - the wings they sewed on their back don't change at all. If I morph you right now, it won't take long for people to know you well can notice the wings are different.

[ura_no_ura]

Would those wings also end up being copied over onto other creatures as well? For example, if you were to morph into a wolf or something along those lines, would you have wings?

[guerrilla_morph]

Yeah. They will be smaller or bigger depending on the animal, but they will still be the same. For birds it will be a little hard to notice, but it's there.

[ura_no_ura]

Hmmm, so it'll still be very obviously you, for anyone who is familiar with your wings.

[ That could be a bit of a limitation. ]

[guerrilla_morph]

It's a serious flaw, I'll admit. Back home I can just morph some bird and look at some outdoor meeting and no one will the wiser. Here it is a little tricky, and some of the things I can do easily are just not an option any more here, like morphing people. Not if anything requires not to blow my cover. Fighting is something I can do, but that's a last resort for me. All of my morphs are not suited on an open battlefield.

[ Marco shrugs. ]

My resume is kinda shoddy thanks to the wings, sorry.

[ura_no_ura]

[ The kid looks like he's beating himself up about it pretty hard... Kakashi sighs after a moment. ]

I think you can still be pretty useful, especially if you have the ability to fly. Up in the air, it won't be noticeable if you're a bird with four wings or two. Would you be able to perform recon? Or maybe morph into even smaller creatures, such as an insect, to infiltrate a building?

[guerrilla_morph]

[ It's less on beating himself up and more showing his frustration at the whole thing. The Animorphs aren't Power Rangers by any means, but Marco knows his limitations. It's his thing, really, to use the limitations and not just work around them, but work with them. Except this time, there is no real way to get around the wings, and there is nothing he can do to make any real advantage to them. ]

Birds and insect morphs are just fine.

And there's another thing: in morph, I have something called thought-speak. It's basically I can talk to you in with my thoughts, within a certain distance.

[ura_no_ura]

So, telepathy is essentially your main method of communication when you're morphed. How far is this distance?

[guerrilla_morph]

I don't know, exactly. Maybe one or two kilometers? It depends. Long distances if there is nothing between us. But if I'm underground, it'll be faint. It kinda works like a radio. But it also works like the messages on the journals: I can contact you privately and no one else can hear it, or I can make it public.

[ura_no_ura]

So, are you able to broadcast to a large group of people at once?

[guerrilla_morph]

If I want too.

omg totally lost track of this thread

[ura_no_ura]

That could be very useful. Is it very taxing?

It's cool!

[guerrilla_morph]

What, thought-speak? Nah. Morphing can be, depending on the animal.

[ura_no_ura]

So, you're saying it doesn't tax you at all to use thought-speak on a very large group of individuals?

[guerrilla_morph]

Does it hurt your brain when you are thinking your thoughts?

[ Marco shrugs. ]

I also want to talk to you about a few things from my world, should they ever come here.
