An interesting job for the Yeerks, but I'm on Alex's side. Yeerk revolution, anyone? The Yeerks may have been the ones enslaving people during the war, but they don't deserve to be used like this as prisoners either. And it looks like while Arissa enjoys her job she has no choice in whether she does it or not, nor even a choice of whom she infests. Not exactly just.

I like this idea, let me know if you ever expand on it.

Amazing concept, amazing fic. I love reading about regular, unambitious, non-Visser yeerks because it shows a more sympathetic side to them. I didn't like how they were sorta just..pushed aside by the end of the series, cause there's so much potential for them (as demonstrated by your lovely fic).
anyway, I'd love to see more stories like this from you!

Type your review here...

Dear Dragon:

You're being far too easy on this guy. Arissa should just take total control over him. The Thirteenth Amendment allows for that, and it's a more precise statement of exactly what we the people think of what he's done. (At least, I assume it is. Since I don't know exactly what he's done, I can't be quite sure, but, from the way she talked about it, I doubt it's anything that merits less than a complete loss of liberty.)

Sincerely,

Qoheleth

Makes perfect sense, and is both a practical and logical idea of what Yeerks can do for a job. Actually, it's the best idea for all involved; the society has no longer has to pay to feed and house criminals, Yeerks can both have a host through which to experience senses, and the criminals themselves no longer have to stay within jail, and can be integrated back into society. In addition, this system helps both Yeerks and criminal offenders (hopefully) form close bonds of companionship with others, the Yeerk can tell if someone is falsely accused of a crime, by viewing the criminal's memory of the crime, and can preemptively report if their monitored host is planning a crime, whether or not it is the same crime, and both report their host and prevent the crime.

Here's an idea for you: a "typical" lawyer drama in which Yeerks, who have passed the Bar Exam and so are lawyers, cross-examine their subject through a memory examination, similar to what happened to the former Visser One (Edriss 562, Host: Eva, Marco's mother) in the book VISSER.

Adorable! I loved it. D

Hah! Even though I've seen the idea before, this is good.

Cool.

nice! :)

hmm finally a usefulness for yeerks

This was awesome! I wish there could be more.

Very interesting and original fic. I always wondered about yeerks helping human society at the end of the war.. I'm guessing this is at the end of the war, right. I would've thought theyd've at least got paid, though..

Anyway, I enjoyed it. Good job!

That was so cute! I loved the idea of Yeerks having a place in society. I wonder whether humans will ever use a system like this, if it were possible...

Funny- I never thought about that before. Good story.
