Chapter 6
The Past Three Days
The lab was quiet, until the sound of the elevator doors opening broke the silent. Out stepped Rogue, she looked around the lab to see that Zim wasn't there. Breathing a small sigh, she held up her wrist and pressed some buttons on her cyborg arm. It made some 'beep' noises, then a computer voice from it said, "Log Program Ready." Rogue looked around the area once more to confirm no one was there. She took another sigh and began the entry.
"Mission Log number 274, Day 3. Since I didn't have time to put in an entry the last couple days, I'm doing it now while my target is busy with something."
"Day One: To start things off, the orders from my Masters were to seek and destroy the Irken named Zim. They would not tell me why, but I have heard stories about this so called "Zim". Besides, I must be loyal to them."
"Finding this planet, Earth, wasn't easy. It's practically on the other side of the universe! And to make things worse, my ship got damaged when I lost control of it and crashed just outside the city that my target is being posted at."
"Although I survived the crash, my ship is tolled. When my assignment is done, I'm going to have to ask my Masters to send someone to get me."
"Anyway, I began to observe the Earth people so I could program a good disguise for myself. I went with a simple "child" look, since my height seemed to match the height of the Earth young here. Speaking of disguises, my target's is lousy. He is lucky that the people on this planet are dense. His idea of camouflage is a black wig and fake looking contacts. He doesn't even bother adding a skin covering to hide his green."
"I first encountered my target at what the Earth people call a skool, a place of study and learning for the Earth children. During the whole day, I had a couple good chances to do my job, but there was this one Earthling that kept getting in my way. I believe Zim called him "Dib". My target seems to know this child very well. Because of this, I decided to follow "Zim" to his home."
"After I got passed the outside security, I spied on him until nightfall. Getting in was so easy, it was a joke. His SIR looks and acts like something from the scrap pile. I then lured my target to the sub basement of his home, were I got him into a pursuit. His SIR interfered at one point. But as it turned out, the target was a little more resourceful then I thought. I was forced to undergo plan B: Win the Target's Trust, Then Strike."
"Day Two: I'm not sure how long it will take me to win my target's trust. I want to be 100% sure he would trust me with anything in his base or around him, helping me to finish what I came here for. One thing is for sure…he's just plain stupid."
"His SIR, which he refers to as Gir, is truly bizarre. All he did today was sit in front of a huge monitor, and stared at a creepy looking monkey while eating [face turns purple] Earth food. I had to spend most of the day with that poor excuse for a SIR while my target worked in the lab. I kept telling myself that it's for the good of the assignment, but even as I think about it now, I could throw up…all that…UGH!"
*Amem* "Day Three: As for today, it was slightly better. I believe Zim is on his way to putting more trust in me. He allowed me to help him with an experiment involving an Earth creature called a chicken. I sense it will not be long now…the sooner the better."
"During the experiment however, that Earth child that interfered with me a couple days ago, tried to break in the target's base. I find that this Dib is not only determined on, I now found out, exposing Zim, but he's also very eccentric. I stayed inside the lab as Zim went to take care of the Dib child. I watch on a monitor to see my target and Dib yelling at each other and telling one another who will be the victor of their little war. As I watched, I wondered why didn't "Zim" just vaporized him right there. I've always been told if there is someone always in your way, get rid of them. I didn't bother asking my target why when he got back. It's not going to matter anyway when I…"
Before Rogue could finish her last entry, the lab's elevator opened up and out came Zim.
"What are you doing down in the lab, Rogue?" He asked. Rogue threw her wrist down and turned around to face Zim.
"Nothing." She answered as truthfully as she could.
"Nothing?" Zim said giving her a look.
Rogue grit her teeth. "Can't I be alone for five minutes!?" She snapped.
Zim's round eyes slightly grew as he was a bit taken back by her response. He looked at her for a brief moment. She stares angrily at him with her sharp eyes. He was going to reply with a comeback, but he suddenly, for some reason, noticed just how purple her eyes were. The way she looked right now…her shade of eye color was something he's never seen before in Irken eyes. He as never seen quite a hue before. They were deeper, darker, more…
"Well?!" Rogue shouted waiting for his response.
Zim all of a sudden was snapped back by Rogue's second verbal attack. He was just taken in by that purple, that deep color…
'…What just happened??' The male Irken thought. He saw that Rogue was just about ready to explode at some point.
"…Uh…sorry, I…" Zim tried not to sound weak or give hint as to what the heck just happened to him. "…I…forgot what I was gonna say…"
Rogue's stare soften a bit, but she was still pretty ticked. "…You "forgot"…? …Fine…whatever."
Unexpectedly, they heard an explosion coming from the kitchen.
"THE MUFFENS ARE READY!!!" Gir screamed.
Zim was now looking mad. "GIR!! NOT AGAIN!!" He ran to the elevator.
As Zim went up to check what got damaged from Gir's cooking, Rogue just stood for a moment before reactivating her log. She finished the entry saying…
"…I will say this…went this job is over, maybe I'll inform my leaders that I'll need a break. Being around this Zim and his messed up SIR is beginning to slowly drive me insane. Just now, for no real reason, he started to stare at me…looking at me like he was looking right THROUGH me…freak."
"End entry."
