Surprise surged through Mab's mind as visions of the Yeerk's secret invasion surged through her mind, suprise later replaced by...outrage. Earth was her home, it was where she lived, and where she worked! She would not let these infiltrators turn her people into slaves, lacking control even over their own bodies! More to the point, though...Mab saw it as increasing her own power, her own holdings. So she said:

"We will fight them, or at least, I will." In her mind, she already knew this; those of her staff that lived in her mansion full-time were not suspects, as they would not have the opportunity to go to the 'Yeerk Pool'. That's a pool of people to trust.
