[edit] Plot Summary
The Animorphs meet other survivors of Elfangor's Dome Ship, the GalaxyTree. One Andalite called Gafinilan-Estrif-Valad suffers from a genetic disease called Soola's Disease while the other, Mertil-Iscar-Elmand, is crippled, or a vecol, as Ax puts it.
Gafinilan attacks Marco when gets a little too close to the human home he owns, while Ax comes to his defense. Both enter his home and Gafinilan asks to meet Ax's prince, not realizing his "prince" is human. Jake decides that he will come to call.
One thing leads to another, and the Animorphs manage to convince Gafinilan to tell the truth. Then they go off to rescue Mertil from Visser Three, who didn't want to infest an Andalite vecol.
