Back at Aperture Zim Dib and Wheatley were taking a break in a corner that Wheatley said was a 'blind spot', "You see, a blind spot is usually a small room in the facility that she can't see us in because the scientists who used to run this retched place didn't think or were too lazy to put sirvalance cameras up in said areas," he explained.

"Wait? Is your den a blind spot?" Dib asked as he put his Portal Gun at his side. "Yep, well, mostly. You see, the room with my safe, yeah it's not a blind spot..." Wheatley trailed off. "So that's why GLaDOS was asking what was in the safe," Zim exclaimed. "Wait WHAT!" Wheatley cried. "Oh this is not good! Not good at all! We have to go back for my safe! I don't care if I reveal the contents of it to you two anymore! Matter of fact, I actually trust you to see what's inside of it now! Well c'mon then, we can't just lounge about if we want to protect my horrible secret from her!" Wheatley exclaimed as he began rushing towards the direction of his den with Zim and Dib struggling to keep stride with him.

"Slow down Wheatley! I know this is urgent but we can't run that fast!" Dib called after him, "What do you mean 'we'?" Zim asked as he darted alongside Wheatley with his spider legs. Dib just moaned as they continued to dart from hallway to hallway after Wheatley. But unaware to them, GLaDOS was watching there every move now that they were out of that blind spot. "Idiots, there leading me right to the reason that little moron is back on Earth," she chuckled with malice in her voice.


Finally Zim, Dib and Wheatley arrived at his den. "Alright boys, before we go get the contents of my safe so I can hide it somewhere else, I need to get something off my metaphorical chest. You see, I used to accompany another test subject, though her name escaped me until I returned to the facility, Chell. I grew attached to her over time and eventually we escaped the testing area, sabotaged the turret production line and neurotoxin tanks and then we infiltrated her lair, helped me gain control of the facility, turned GLaDOS into a potato, and then I almost killed her after going mad with power. apparently I only exist to feed her bad ideas to keep her in check after she flooded the facility with neurotoxin and I obviously was not meant to take control of the facility. And when I found her alive, I put her through horrid tests just for my own personal gain. It ended with karma hurtling me into space as a wave of guilt overtook me, but by then it was too late to say that I was sorry."

Zim and Dib looked at Wheatley, dumbfounded by his words. "Wow..." Zim said. "Words to make you think of your sins if you ask me," he added. "So, the thing that helped you get back to Earth is the thing in your safe?" Dib guessed. "Yes," Wheatley said without his usual excitement that he had in his voice. "Well that explains why GLaDOS wanted to know what's in the safe," Zim pointed out as the three began wordlessly began heading towards the safe.

Meanwhile GLaDOS had her eye fixated on a camera pointed at Wheatley's safe, her excitement growing at every footstep raising in volume. Finally after what felt like an eternity of waiting Zim, Dib and Wheatley came into view, each of them staring at the safe with anticipation. "Hold on! Zim, get that camera," Wheatley commanded, Zim happily obliged. "Damn it!" GLaDOS shouted in frustration.

Wheatley inched closer to the voice activated safe as he whispered, "AAAAAAAA," and with that the safe popped open to reveal...

"What's one of my dad's inventions doing here?!" Dib exclaimed in confusion.
