History[]
- "Thirty minutes to reach Radio Shack, find what Ax needs to make his transmitter, buy it and get back to catch the eleven-thirty bus home. That gets back here at five after twelve. Ten minutes to spare."
- ―Marco to Jake
A Radio Shack store was located inside the mall of the Animorphs' city.[1] In 1997,[2] Jake, Marco and Ax went to the mall to visit Radio Shack, believing that Ax could acquire parts from there to build a Yeerk Distress Beacon. Going to the back of the store, Ax removed many components from the pegboards, remarking that they could work as a primitive gairtmof and a primitive fleer. Ax then grabbed other items as well, including coaxial cable and batteries. As Jake went to the counter to pay for the items, Ax misinterpreted Marco's words to throw out his empty coffee cup and threw it at a Radio Shack cashier's head. As the man yelled, Marco rushed to the counter to apologize, and Ax used the opportunity to run out of the store. Jake, who had finished paying, joined Marco in telling the cashier that Ax had a condition, but the cashier said he was just glad that Ax had left. Jake then grabbed his Radio Shack shopping bag and ran out of the store along with Marco to find Ax.[3]
