My new labs were, of course, dark magenta and violet in color, like any other Irken lab.
Tools hung from the walls, and pieces of violet sheet metal were neatly stacked on top of one of the many work tables I would find. I raised my line of vision to the ceiling, and found state-of-the-art Irken speakers hanging by the tentacle-like tubes that were common for an Invader's labs. Knowing Computer, he'd probably made a room for a top-of-the-line sound system.
Further exploration of the many pods of the underground labs revealed a chemical reaction chamber, an experimentation subject room (filled with tubes that contained preservatives), and a monitor room, filled with screens showing every inch of the base and surrounding area. That's not even close to all there was in the labs, I just named three of the rooms.
After finding the 'main room' as I call it (the main room, by the way, was the smallest room in the base, consisting of a big C-shaped chair, a computer screen, and an electronic keyboard. Nothing really fancy, but I'd most likely spend all my time there, so...yeah. Main room.), I sat down in the chair and began to search for a place where I could both learn about the social tendencies of this planet, and learn about the planet in general...
This 'Library' thing looked interesting, but it didn't look like many people went to that place. If few people went there, then it must be a bad place to learn about social patterns... NEXT!
The 'Skool' seemed to meet all the requirements, so I picked that one. All I had to do was make my hologram look a little bit younger, then I could enroll myself in that filthy humanoid school.
After tweaking my hologram (I lost an inch of my height. Not very happy.) and electronically enrolling myself in Skool, I ran out of stuff to do, so I decided to test KiWi's memory chip. She seemed to have a problem with that, and I wanted to make sure it wouldn't need fixing before I left tomorrow to go to the human-school.
"KiWi, who is your master?"
"You are, Master Kit."
"Good. Tell me, what is our mission here on Earth?"
"Our mission is to gather as much information as possible on both Earth and the Ex-Invader Zim and report all information back to the Almighty Tallests." She saluted after finishing her sentence, eyes flashing red. KiWi had gotten the question right, except for why we were gathering the information, but she couldn't be blamed for not saying it-I hadn't told her yet. I just kept putting it off because I never really had the time or just didn't feel like it.
"Good job, KiWi, just remember, we're gathering all this information to help the Tallests in their final decision on whether or not they should destroy both the planet and the Ex-Invader, so we CANNOT provide false facts. Understood?"
"Yes, ma'am!" KiWi saluted again, eyes narrowed in (what looked to be) determination. I'm so proud of her~
I built her myself, you know. I had gotten bored and thought, 'Hmm, wouldn't it be cool if I took the designs for a SIR unit and changed them up until I got something brand new?', then yeah, Kiwi happened. I called her that for a really dumb reason, now I think about it...
The Tallests had been in office for about a year when I started working on what would become KiWi, and they had often questioned me about her. I think they were just trying to figure out if I was a 'defect' because APPARENTLY, creativity isn't allowed to exist on Irk. Stupid rules. Anywho, I called her KiWi because I had gotten really annoyed at the Tallests (i know they're my leaders, but they're kinda... idiots) and wrote out 'KiWi', telling them that it was the name of the robot, and if they could figure out what the letters stood for then I'd say I was defective in front of the Control Brains, but if they couldn't figure it out, they would forget about thinking I was a defect. Problem was, KiWi had been the first thing to pop into my head, and it doesn't stand for anything.
Needless to say, they haven't figured it out, to this day. I don't even think they realize that the acronym is just four random letters.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by my PAK beeping, then activating the holo-screen I installed to talk to other Irkens.
A female Irken appeared on the screen. She had pitch-black eyes, pale green skin, antennae that went back then bent up, and a black uniform with small vine-like patterns scrolling around it. Her arms were crossed, and her eyes were narrowed ever so slightly.
"RAE! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER~!"
"Hi, Kit. I've got a question for you."
"What is it? If you're asking about purple bananas again, NO. I WILL NOT GENETICALLY ENGINEER THEM. I almost lost my arm last time I tried!"
Rae laughed, something that was kinda rare for her. She was normally a very moody, dark Irken, and as such never really laughed. However, there WAS that one time someone had slipped her a 'loony pill' as most Irkens called them.
That was a funny Hatching-Day for me. Rae, however, had nearly slaughtered the poor soul who gave it to her.
"Oh, so THAT'S why you wouldn't talk to me a few months ago... but no, that's not it. I was wondering how many day's notice you would need if I told you I was coming to Earth and wanted to visit you for a while."
"You're coming to Earth!? That's awesome! Come to think of it, I wouldn't need much time, but you can't come tomorrow. I enrolled myself in this weird thing called 'Skool' to help me with my mission."
Rae grinned. I was getting a little scared- she didn't smile much, either. Except for the few times when she's really nice, and not Rae-like at all.
"That won't be a problem at all. I'm landing in about...ten minutes ago. I'm in your base right now. I asked Computer to not tell you I was here, and don't ask how I got past security. Let's just say there is now a very charred rat-thing in your yard, and leave it at that."
A/N: Rae belongs to Invader Nae, I own whatever isn't owned by Jhonen and Nikelodeon (Kit, KiWi, her Computer and base).
