Professor Membrane opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a tube filled with a green jelly-like liquid. A small green creature with antennae, large red eyes with no pupil and a silver and blue backpack on its back marched in and pared at him. It fiddled with some machinery and symbols appeared on a screen. The creature smirked.
"You're quiet, human," it said. "Do you not recognize me or are you still clinging to what you thought to be true like so many of your species attempt to do?"
Such an odd dream. "The only explanation for this is that I'm dreaming or insane."
"I find it ironic that your own son notices so much more than you do," it chuckled. "You even den the truth when it rubs itself in your face! Ugg! Look at me. I've spent way too much time among you humans. I wish I could be done with this planet."
"Is this the dream where I see my wife?" Membrane asked, ignoring the green creature.
It raised a nonexistent eyebrow. "Membrane-human, what do I have to do to get you to stop speaking nonsense? I've just captured you! I'm he one responsible for the disappearances that so baffle your law enforcement humans. I've taken our daughter and am trying to destroy her will. I was the green earth child that you said was your son's 'foreign friend'. I'm an Irken and an alien to your people yet you still believe that this is a dream? What is wrong with you humans?"
"So you don't know if she's coming?"
"That's I, I'm putting you in sleep mode," the creature huffed and pressed a button.
Professor Membrane began o feel drowsy. Slowly he closed his eyes and began to snore.
"I wish the Dib would find Gir soon," Zim mumbled, fiddling with the controls. "I'm starting to talk to go insane talking to these humans! Besides, I miss Gir."
