Tid woke up with a start, looking at the rubble around her. The planet she was on was huge and green, like an endless field. She got up slowly, feeling pain in all her joints, and looked around some more. A giant white flower towered above her, and on this large daisy was the SIR's body. The head was dented, but the Sir seemed to be ok. After a few seconds, the Sir slid off the giant flower and landed in a heap in front of her. The SIR groaned, and looked at its new master with a sour looking face. It was hard to read the SIR's emotions, but it did seem quite annoyed. Tid realised that a bang to the SIR's head could result in temporary personality change, or a reduction in function.
"Are you alright, Tid?" The SIR unit sighed, brushing dust and debris off of its head.
"Yeah, just need to find Toto, set up a camp and live here for the rest of my life." Tid sighed.
"I'll get Toto." The SIR unit smiled, his eye still hanging out. It turned to leave, but Tid stopped it.
"Do you want me to fix your eye first?" Tid asked, worried about her only robot buddy.
The SIR nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
It then ran off, lifting up chunks of the escape pod with new energy. Tid smiled, she was already starting to get fond of her own SIR unit. While she waited, she tried looking around for some food. She walked around the place, looking for snacks, and soon got distracted by the sites around her. She knew it wasn't Irken to love the green plants waving at her like the family members she so wanted to have. She didn't care, and she didn't care about how empty the planet was, either. This was her planet, the planet where she and Toto could live in peace forever. She gave a large sigh, her smile as big as the green world that was poured out in front of her like paint. Her smile turned upside down as soon as the SIR unit returned, which wasn't very long. The SIR unit was holding Toto's unconscious body, which was hanging limp in the robot's arms.
"Alive." The SIR nodded, "Just out cold. He should be fine soon enough."
Tid walked over to Toto slowly, sighing as she looked at his limp body. His lab coat was ripped to shreds, showing off the smooth Irken chest he had. Tid blushed a little, he wasn't lying about working out. Shaking those thoughts out of her mind, she looked at the rest of him. He was covered in cuts and bruises, his left eye slightly swollen from the impact. There was also a sheet of metal coming out of his arm; Tid knew to leave that alone just in case he started bleeding. She stroked the arm softly, and looked up as Toto started shivering and moaning. Tid stepped back, startled, as the Irken rose slowly out of the SIR's grasp, and looked around.
"Where?" He started, still groggy and confused from the trip. The SIR unit beamed at him, holding out what seemed to be a packet of popcorn.
"To get you going." The SIR unit grinned. Toto nodded slowly, and began to eat. Soon enough, he perked up, his good eye shining like a ruby as he looked around him.
"Wow," Toto started, "this is amazing...what is this place?"
"No idea." The SIR unit sighed, "I was supposed to be installed with an intergalactic chip...but I think they forgot about it."
Tid blushed, hoping that the big chip she had removed was not that chip.
"Best thing we can do is find civilisation, and see if they can help us." Toto sighed, looking around. "I see a river up north...might be water though."
Tid shuddered. Water was horrible. One of the worst ways of Irken torture was to dip someone in water repeatedly until they were burned all over. Tid hoped she would never get such a treatment.
"Right, we'll be heading there." Toto said, after a pause. "SIR, get me some paper. I wish to draw up a map."
"Please don't call me SIR." The SIR unit sighed, "Don't you know that you should name me? It makes the experience more heart warming."
"I can't think of a name right now." Toto rolled his eyes, grabbing the paper that the SIR had removed from his head, "And to be honest, we don't have time. We are on a distant planet with no way out, and we have no idea on what is out there."
"All I know is that it is wonderful." Tid smiled, looking around, "You never see this in Irk!"
"That's because Irk is safe." Toto replied, "Come on, we need to make shelter for now...we don't know what is out there." He continued to draw on the map, leading the group towards the river. Tid sighed and followed, along with the SIR unit.
"I just want a name." The SIR sighed, "I don't care if I am ROB or Gaga...just name me!"
"I need to know you more first."Tid scratched the top of her head, "But I'll call you Bob if you want...till I come up with a better name."
"Thank you!" Bob said, jumping up and down, "I have a name!" It shouted to the heavens.
Toto stopped, his antenna in the air. "Wait." He whispered. He hid behind a bush, and seemed to be spying on something behind it.
"What is..." Tid started.
"Shush!" Toto looked at Tid desperately. "Look...I...I know them." He pointed from beyond the bush, and Tid looked on in horror at the creatures in front of them.
They looked like giant green lizards, with four feet with huge sharp claws. The heads were pretty much like a triceratops, a snarling three horned face with eyes that were as red as blood. The tails were long and thin, with what seemed to be blades at the end. Tid gasped in shock, these were the Three horned gattlers: a species that had long gone extinct in Irk. These creatures were known to be more vicious that the Irkens, killing anything in sight (or smell). The only reason why the Irkens (and SIR) had not been spotted was the fact that two of them were fighting over a meal, a strange round creature with stalks for eyes. The spotted creature lay below them as the two creatures tried to bite the other's neck. Before the battle could be watched to the end, Toto ran back to where the ship had landed, tears of fear in his eyes. Tid walked after him slowly, looking at the Irken who was now sitting in the rubble.
"We're doomed." Toto cried, "I can't believe I made that promise...if I didn't have such a bond with you I could have left you...but no. Of course not...Irkens aren't supposed to feel love, specially not to nit wits like you."
"Nit wit?" Tid frowned, "There's no need for that! I haven't done anything wrong!"
"You...stole a SIR unit!" Toto suddenly yelled, causing Tid to flinch, "I hope it was worth it! You've ruined both our lives, and now we are stuck on a planet with terrible predators!"
"Excuse me." The Sir unit said after a pause.
"What?" Toto spat.
"May I add the fact that arguing will not solve anything?" The SIR unit made a small beeping noise. "I have a feeling building a shelter would help us out more than...yelling."
Toto stood up slowly. "You're right." He sighed, "I'm...I'm sorry Tid. You're not a nit wit, just a little dense. Let's try and build a base together, then we can work out what to do."
Tid nodded, and the three began their work on the new base, using the rubble of the old ship and some strange plants they found around the area.
