Tak's Diary
Dear Diary,
I'm just about to take my test. The control brain is getting ready to send me to the building where my test will be. I just figured I'd write in you. Anyhow, I. Oh my god, I'm trapped! There was an explosion! I'm not hurt. I have to go and check what happened. I hope that everything is O.K, and I can climb out. I will miss my test, if I do not! The door appears to be stuck. There are things blocking it. I see a short, short irken. He.he did this! I remember seeing him from the corner of my eye before; I think he was trying to get a snack from the snack booth. He is holding a treat. I keep yelling on the door and banging, he's pretty close. Why can't he hear me? I keep yelling. "Help! HELP!" Nevertheless, he's not listening. I'm going to ask the control brain, since I missed my test, if I can maybe take it over right now. Let me check. I'm about ready to kill myself. I keep pleading for the control brain to let me take it over. She says I have to wait another seventy years to take my test! I'll have to be one of those lower-class servant irkens for seventy years! Oh god, they can't do this to me! I am one of the tallest's daughters! Hopefully my dear Father can get me out of this. I wonder if Eti was caught in her pod, as well. I hope her control brain is a bit more merciful and will let her take the test over. The entire half of this planet's power is out. Why me? All I ever wanted was to become an elite soldier, and invader! Why am I so unfortunate? That short irken will pay; I know he did this to me! I vow on my life, that he will pay. If I die in the process, so will he. It's been about 5 hours. I've waited. I'm started to get especially hungry. My stomach keeps grumbling. The control brain has already informed the Tallest that I will be put on a janitorial squad (I just found out now) on some other planet. Hopefully it's a nice clean planet. I hear some voices. It might be the voices of the other irkens, or some voices in my head. I wish the control brain wasn't so strict and cruel. I wish I could hold a conversation with her. It's been about 10 hours. If I don't eat, I'm afraid I'll shrivel up and die. I know, I know, I seem to be over-reacting, right? Well, I'm not! I haven't eaten for a few days, due to the fact that I was too excited to eat. I need to hold a conversation with someone. I've tried to strike up a conversation with that monotonous control brain, but she just stares at me and blinks. I've tried, "So, how many invaders-in-training have you seen?" and, "My, you must not miss a thing with all those eyes of yours!". She seemed to be slightly insulted when I said that last one, because she glared at me and made a huffing noise. It's been 11 hours. I'm almost too hungry to even write. But if I die in here, then I'll at least have the recording of the last few hours of my life written down so they can be retold generation after generation. If there was electricity, maybe I could go back downstairs and wait in the waiting room. But I can't. The control brains aren't electric, they are basically brains. But everything else is mainly run by electricity. And we sure don't have much of that on this side of the planet. It' s been 12 hours. I'm starting to feel faint. I've gone without food for 2 days. This day being my third. If I don't have food soon, I will die. I hear something. But I've started to hear things. Sometimes I doze off, and I have to wake myself up because if I close my eyes and sleep, I may not open my eyes ever again. Eti is probably well. She eats like a horse, yet maintains a perfect figure. Last night she was a thorough mooch! I'm getting up, but I'm very weak. Sometimes, portions of the ceiling fall, and then an electrical surge is seen for a split second. I'm walking over to the door and staring out the dirty window. I hear someone! I see some SIRs and some irken soldier people walking around, checking out every door. They found one badly injured irken. He might die, it seems. Most of the pods are empty. They might have a hard time looking through my window because of the dirt, and because it fogged up a little. I have to yell for them to get to me. I can only croak. I just realized that the only thing that I can do is croak! I have to save up my energy. "Help." I say. Nope, they won't see me. They've come to the pod next to me. They are opening it! I can see only a bit of what they're doing. They just got Eti. She seems to be in shock; she just fainted. They're over to my pod. "HELP!" I called. "I think I hear something." One of the soldiers says. "No, I don't hear anything." The other one says. They are about to turn away. I feel like sobbing so loudly that I blast the door open. But I haven't enough strength. A SIR stops them. "Soldiers," The SIR stops and salutes, "I can see that there is an irken woman in there. She is trapped." The SIR said. Yay! The door is being cut through with a laser. I am out, now! The soldiers are putting Eti and me in a special ambulance ship to go to the Hospital. I hope I can make it. Love, Tak, the girl who hopefully survives and is able to continue in this diary and get that short irken back for what he did.
