It wasn't Zim. It wasn't Gaz. It wasn't even an annoying skool child.
It was Dib.
MiMi put up the hologram disguises instantly, so Tak once again resumed the guise of a human girl. She didn't THINK the human had noticed anything right away... but then, she could be wrong.
"I KNEW IT! Tak's an alien, too!" Dib cried. He was pointing avidly at the real human girl, who merely stood there looking bored, a skeptical expression on her pretty human face.
Dib dashed foreward and grabbed the girl by the arm. "I knew it! Tak, you're an alien too, and you've come to help Zim take over the earth! I knew it! I KNEW IT! And now I can prove it!" he babbled. The girl didn't budge.
Tak got an idea. It woiuyld help her save her "mission", at any rate, but it would cost her her SIR unit for the time being...
"MiMi," she whispered. The SIR unit turned to her in its cat disguise, at attention.
"Go with that human girl. Act like she's your master, for the time being. It's for the good of the mission. If the humans think SHE'S the alien, I can go ahead with the plans undisturbed," she explained hurriedly.
MiMi's eyes turned upwards. It was confused for a moment.
"It's not counterproductive. If the humans think she's the alien with the little robot, I can carry out the plan as planned and you can rejoin me later," she whispered again. Meanwhile, in the background, Dib and the girl had gotten into a little fistfight. It seemed the girl was winning.
"Is master relinquishing ownership of this SIR unit?" the robot asked quietly, but crisply.
Tak smiled.
"For the moment, until the human gives you back up. And she will. You tell her," said Tak, and with that, she pretended the ltitle robot didn't exist.
It was actually a bit depressing. MiMi was her only tie to Irk here on Earth, a prefectly good evil minion and obedient in everything it was commanded to do. Dare she say MiMi was even sort of a friend? She had grown attached to the little robot, devoid of personality as it was.
The girl had won in the end, it seemed. Now Tak could spy on Zim and make sure her plans would go undisturbed, having MiMi rejoin her at her convenience. With Dib convinced this human lookalike was her, Tak, she had free reign.
The girl wasn't stupid. She knew the moment the little robot joined her side, the moment she saw Tak's small, satisfied smile, what Tak must be thinking.
"My name's not TAK, it's JOANNA!" the girl growled at Dib.
So her name was Joanna... human names were so different, she mused.
"No, it's not. I'M Joanna," Tak insisted, trying to change her voice. Before anyone could say anything else, Tak dashed out of the room and out of the Skool building. The entire episode hadn't been planned, but it had worked in her favor anyway.
She turned the corner that led to her base, feeling strangely alone without her SIR unit accompanying her as usual. Was it really such a good idea to leave MiMi with the human?
She decided not to dwell on it. Her pump still needed minor repairs. They could be done without the help of her robot.
For now, she had to report to her Tallest.
She pressed a button that would hail the Massive. Their faces appeared on screen, looking a little confused. She hadn't reported in a day.
"My Tallest, the mission has been compromised, but it's nothing detrimental. I can still go ahead with my plans for this miserable little rock," she announced.
"Hey.. where's that creepy SIR unit?" asked Purple.
"I unwisely chose a disguise similar to a real human at the Skool and was momentarily seen out of it by a human. Luckily, I managed to correct my mistake, but the human thought my lookalike was the real alien. I almost had no choice, really, but this suits me fine. It gets the human out of my antennae and lets me work on my plan for you, my Tallest," she explained.
There was silence.
"You GAVE your SIR unit to a human? Are you INSANE!" cried Purple.
"I assure you, my Tallest Purple, it is only temporary. I left MiMi with specific instructions to keep the humans away from this place until my plan is complete, at which time the human will return her to me," she assured them. The human would give the robot up if she knew what was good for her, anyway...
"Oh... okay then. Say, you'll put Cheezy Sticks in there, right? And donuts?" asked Red.
"AND LICKY STICKS!" cried Purple from off screen.
Tak sighed, but forced a smile on her face.
"Of course, my Tallest. I shall include Licky sticks, if that's what you want. The pump should be finished in a couple of earth days, without MiMi," she reported in.
"Yeah, sure, that's fine, Tak, hey, we have things... to eat, yeah, report back in when the pump is done, will ya?" said Red, and the Massive severed communications.
She stared at the blank screen for a moment and once again went to work.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I know, it was short, but I only wanted to describe what went on and why Tak ended up with no SIR unit, You won't hear from Joanna much- these are Tak's memories, so you won't hear from joanna until later. So be patient.
