Heck Yes, Animorphs!

“Captain Asculan, we know that the Andalite fleet is devoted to the destruction of the Yeerk threat. And we know that you must be personally committed to that goal. Because of your devotion to duty it may almost seem a disappointment to reach your goal at long last, only to discover that your foe has essentially surrendered. At this point we have to set aside the necessary ruthlessness of war, the suspicion and hostility, and turn instead to the more satisfying duties of making peace. Our victory could never have occurred without the support of our Andalite friends. I look forward to our two peaceful peoples working closely together, to forming a deep and abiding friendship. We have so much to learn from our Andalite brothers, just as we have already learned so much from the great Elfangor and his no less courageous and resourceful brother, Aximili.”

Translation: ‘We know you’ve come here to turn Earth into a great big charcoal briquette because you think it’s the only way to stop the Yeerks. It’s over. Your people back home are watching and if you come in guns blazing, annihilating a peaceful people, your own peaceful civilians will never stand for it. Look, we’re willing to share the credit. You people did squat for us, but we’re willing to spread the kudos around freely. The Dome ship Elfangor is going to come in and annihilate all of the real Elfangor’s work? Kill his little brother who happens to be a ready-made Andalite hero? Guess again, you mean old fart.’
