Plot summary

The Animorphs find out from Erek that the Yeerks have taken control of a meatpacking plant and a laboratory. They acquire chimpanzees and infiltrate the lab. They don't find very much information so Tobias and Ax morph into bulls (thinking they would morph into steer but not realizing that the DNA does not include surgical procedures) to go to the meatpacking plant. Inside the plant, they discover a room with humans in cages. The computer tells them that it is an experiment designed to destroy the free will of the human population so that the Yeerks can take over easily, but a Yeerk scientist eventually confirms that the experiment was a total failure.

gollark: Also, the SC community, if it could somehow all be on a kitchen sink server, would probably result in basically the same thing but with more automation and stuff.
gollark: Most kitchen sink packs, even if it's not as explicit as in quest packs, do have some kind of end goal.
gollark: They don't exactly "fail" as much as "become completed".
