Chapter 10: Morning Approaches, But Light Is Scarce
I take a few steps backwards, tripping over a box and falling to the ground. My eyes are wide as I cry out a little. A deep shudder starts in the center of my body and radiates outwards, sending me in series of shudders that take over my body and rattle my brainmeats terribly. I look towards the horror of a dismantled S.I.R on the ground. Every peice of him laying all over the floor. Control systems shattered, memory chip broken, and guidence systems smashed. Screws and wires everywhere on the floor around the small body of my loyal Sir.
As I lay there shuddering and staring at my dismantled friend my mind starts to go numb. I'm filled with a strange sensation that I've never felt before. My eyes close and my organs seem to explode with this new feeling I have. I curl up shuddering making little squeeky noises as my mind flashes back to my first S.I.R unit encounter.
~a S.I.R drops from above and unfolds. It saluts and reports.
"S.I.R! reporting for duty master!"
"good sir! lets go!"
"yes master!"
we walk off to get our pods and our Irkan utility paks and start our mission.
"Now Sir, sit in here and i'll b right back." I say
"Yes master!" he says and jumps into the pod-thingy.
I turn and rush off to get my utility pak. when i return I see a blinding light and a burst of energy shakes my vehicle.
"OHNO! WHAT'S HAPPENING!" i scream and rush over.
The light leaves and my sir is lieing on the ground outside my pod, dazed. It's eyes are flashing from purple, to green, to red, to black. They turn red again and my sir sits up.
"SIR! u ok? data and status report!"
"stata scannnnning...." bleeps my sir.
"sunny and warm with a high temperature of..."
I reach over and whack my sir in the head and his eyes fizzle and come on strong.
"data fine, status, fine, a bit dizzy, memory shaken but repairing. ready to go master."~
A strange liquid fills my eyes and rolls down my cheeks, sizzling as it slides downwards to fall on the ground. Pain comes to me, ignoring it, I go on flashing back....
~"did you get that?"
"..."
"sir?"
"...zzzfffffffff...." the sir buzzed with static.
" sir! answer me now or..."
"...zzffff...zzzttt.zztttffff....not again! did you use that old cream again? why not get SUPER WHIPPYCREAM! it gives you super taste on all your supe....zzzfffttt..."
"what are you talking about??"
"...zzzzfftttt...i ain't happy, i'm feeling glad...i got sunshine in a bag...i'm useless but not for long, my future is comin on...it's comin on..it's comin...zzzzfffttt..."
"what? I SEE NO SUNSHINE BAG! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SIR?!?! TELL ME THIS INSTANT!"
"zzfffttt...oops i did it again...i played with your heart, got lost in the game, ooo baby baby baby...zzfftt.."
"NOOO! STOP THE USELESS DRONING!!! ARRRGGGHHH! MY SANITY!"
"zzfft...zzzfffff....zzzttt..."
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!"
"zzfffaggggrrraaaaaiiieee!!!!! yes! master! reporting for duties!"
sir saluted~
ooooo....I even miss the way he's always blank out and start talking and singing nonsense! More shudders came as I lay curled up helplessly crying, as it was called, and shuddering like a limp dishrag.
~"why can't i have a name master?"
"what? you do have a name! you're a sir!"
"but everyone's a sir! can't i be a flir or a gir?"
"gir's taken..."
"aww...but y can't i have a name? everyone else does...well except me..."
"well, ok. what do you want?"
"how about Reilghatina jadeian-mouska Fernia Lartouskatina Alavamba Kioskia?"
"huh?...NO! SHORTER!"~
"Oh sir...I should have given you a name, then you could have at least been called by it while you were...still...in existance...*sniff sniff*...my poor sir..." I cry staring up into the darkness of my eyelids.
~"OK SIR! GOOD JOB! now, can u..um...stop please? they're gone now..."
Sir keeps playing and fuzzing out and back in with other transmissions. This is really getting tiering. I sigh and start to walk over to Sir. Again I trip.
"AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKK!!"
I tumble into sir and we go rolling until we hit a huge fluffy peice of stuffs. My brain is ratteling now and I'm sure that sir is ratteling his gears too. When I sit up and look around I find it's quiet. Finally! he's stoped his infernal singing! I sigh and stand up, picking up my sir and turn to walk back home and stratigize.~
infernal singing? i luved it, and now i've lost it forever...
~sir pops up and throws a little, pink piggy plushie at her. She screams and catches it as it tumbles her into the rip. It sucks her in and a last dieing wail fills the air. I feel the revenge in her voice as she calls to us as she falls deeper and deeper into the rip.
"You'll pay you dirty rotten..."
then it's lost in a deep sucking sound and a rumble followed by flashes of light. The rip closes and i'm standing there in amazement with sir at my side.
"how's you know what to do?"
"um, it's called sir connection, or SIRCIT. it's a little time when us sirs get together and discuss each other's assignments. We feel the need to be able to talk with one another and share our stories. just a couple months ago, while you were out scanning the area, i was chatting with Gir, ya know, Zim's Sir? ne way, he was telling me about brainfreezies, pigs, and how he pushed Rye into the wormhole with one on accident, but then he got confused and decided to go get tacos, so i left. It's very informatory, really, and us sirs really love SIRCIT! I've told them about this mission so farm and now i have another thing to tell tonight! Icant wait!"~
He saved me and I wasn't around to save him...I can't belive this has happened to me. I must be a horrible invader to let this happen! I curl up tighter and cry harder, sizzling my skin and bringing more pain to myself. How am I going to report this to the Tallest? They will be so dissapointed in me...They might even turn against me and banish me for letting this happen! WHY O WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?!?! well, @ least i'll have company if i'm banished to FoodCourtia...i guess i can look forward to an eternity of frying things...
(Later...)
I pull myself up from the ground and from the shadows of yestereday and force myself to pick up the limp body of my comrad and head back to the lab. When I get there I put down sir and stare at him for a moment with a heavy sadness, as i found out later that was what it was called, and sighed. I turned to contact the Tallest, but turned back before I left to look at sir once more.
"I'll call you Link...that way you can at least have a name i can call you by when I recall what happened in the report before I....before I..." I stop for I cannot go on any longer. With a stinging tear in my eye I turn to go, shutting off the lights on the heap of metal that I once called my friend. Morning has come, but it has brought only darkness with it...
