I kept an eye on the floating monitor as I continued writing down notes. The elevator was running down to the lower levels of Zim's lab. "Welcome comrades have a nice day at work. And remember The blue light is watching over." I stopped writing and looked at the monitor. Several different screens were up showing different aspects of the new society. One was a line of human workers, each wearing a blue jumpsuit with "Hail blue" written on the back and the PAK insignia on the breast pocket. Another screen was a classroom of children, younger and older, being taught by the improved robo-mom Zim didn't want to throw away. And the last was a line of Probations. Each one wearing the collar I designed. Zim was standing in front of them and talking about their choices.
"level 36"the computer stated and I stepped out of the elevator. Most of this level was black and empty. Rows of glass holding cells lay empty and possibly never used. One however was dimly lit. I passed the many containers and stood in front of the last one. I took out the goggles from my pocket and dropped them into the food bin. It's occupant didn't even give them a second glance. Just like the untouched food next to it.
"You really should eat. You must be hungry." the occupant didn't reply but pushed the food farther away with it's foot. "Now don't be like that. It isn't poisoned or anything. You watched me make it." I smiled watching the creature squirm. I knew it was starving. It hadn't eaten since yesterday morning. Two honey colored eyes looked up at me.
"I also... watched you give up on your own planet." he whispered hoarsely and spat blood on the glass. "how could you do this to us? To me?" I laughed and knelt down.
"How could I? How could I not. I have done what humans failed at. I haven't given up on earth I'm just trying a new method. If one way doesn't work try another. You told me that once... professor" my father cringed and refused to look at me. His lab coat was torn and dirty and his face nicely bruised up it was strange not seeing him so perfect.
"He's using you. That alien. I don't know what he's done to make you do this but he's using you. And as soon as he doesn't need you anymore he's going to throw you away." I clicked my tongue holding back a laugh. Pathetic. So pathetic. I stood and went over the the holding cell control panel. "You'll see the pain he's caused." I typed in a few commands.
"silly human. Zim won't cause anyone pain." a red button appeared and I pushed it. Screaming ensued. "that's my job" I whispered. But I don't think he heard me.
