Chapter 1 of The Underground, part 17 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

Summary: The Animorphs have just found a new weapon against the Yeerks: oatmeal. Yes, oatmeal. But only the maple and ginger flavor. Instant maple and ginger flavor. It drives the Yeerks insane, giving their hosts some freedom...but also eliminates the Yeerks' need for Kandrona, which means they can stay permanently in their hosts' brains. Should the Animorphs use it? Is some freedom better than none, or should total freedom be the goal?

Sorry for my voice not being quite up to its ideal smoothness for Rachel. I still have lingering congestion from that awful sickness I had last month. Just pretend Rachel has a cold, too.

I was going to be so productive this weekend, and then my body had the audacity to go and catch norovirus! -_- Don't get norovirus, it sucks.

Also, Cassie says in this chapter that she thinks moles don't bite. 10-year-old me can categorically assure you that is NOT the case. A scared little mole will definitely bite your finger! I don't know how likely it is that one would get rabies or some other infection from a mole bite, but luckily for me, I didn't, cause I wouldn't have known to mention it.

Thanks for being so patient with me, friends! I got the last chapters of my latest audiobook submitted for review last night. I'll be immediately starting on the next this week, but I should still have some breathing room for a bit, so hopefully that means less delays for you!

Big red buttons to press, and weapons that conveniently need a middle finger to push? I feel like there's some kind of symbolism here...

Sorry this is such a short chapter. If the next one had been short too, I would have uploaded two, but as it's not, and I could use the extra time to start recording book 18, I'm afraid you'll have to make do with just the one.

I wish I could include memes in the description here, because Lord Farquaad's "That is a sacrifice I am willing to make" would be SO appropriate for this chapter!
