Topic: Invasion (Dangerwolf1 & JimothyKudos )

[JimothyKudos]

"Do they at least have breaks to eat and rest, would you know? Slavery is fucked up and they could die if they're all over-worked." He looked to Major and nodded. He could understand not being for violence but at the same time. "Desperate times call for desperate measures... I would hope they would send some things, maybe not people but objects that can be used to fend ourselves off or something."

He listened to him talk about pirates next and was worried about if they were offered more money until Major said they wouldn't betray them and he sighed in relief. "Not like human pirates then." He chuckled and looked to Zim. "Do we even have monies to hire pirates?"

[Dangerwolf1]

"...Zim is not sure sorry...Once the other irkens noticed that humans have to have those things then Zim is sure the humans will get it"

"Maybe they might help in one way or another but it's really hard to know"

Zim nodded his head"Yes Zim has some monies he can use to hire some pirates...Pirates might also be a good idea as well because of the fact that there are some that do not like the empire"

[JimothyKudos]

"I'd hope so. I would hope no one had to die for them to realize that." He was glad to hear Zim had monies to use to hire pirates. "Uh where did you get monies from anyway? Would it be able to be tracked if you did use it? I'd assume all of the Irkens monies would be being tracked if they're all being controlled in some way by the leaders or something? Or they don't track it?"

[Dangerwolf1]

"...Hopefully not but...Sorry if anything like that happened"

"Zim has plenty of monies"

"True Zim does have plenty of monies and no the empire has no control over that monies...Zim gained it without the empires help"

[JimothyKudos]

"I'd say you don't need to apologize but I'm sure you've captured humans before in your time here where some of them might be being held there." He listened to them about the money topic and he nodded. As long as they couldn't track the use of the money, Dib had no issues of Zim using it. "Alright, but I am confused on how you gained the money without the Empire's help?"

[Dangerwolf1]

"...Zim has a lot to apologize for...The money is from a long time ago after Zim's first and only successful mission. Zim was able to leave the empire for awhile sorta like a vacation or something and back then Zim couldn't see right from wrong only what he was taught by the academy and other irkens. Zim found an planet and caused a lot of trouble but the end result was it turned into a black market planet so Zim got a lot of monies from that"

"Not by himself though he was influenced but another being named Frenzo who pretended to care about Zim just to be able to kind a control him in taking over the planet"

[JimothyKudos]

Dib grimaced, trying not to get mad about it. Of course, it seemed even a 'defective' Irken could be successful in invasion. He found himself wondering about the races Zim had conquered, not only the successful mission but the other planet he landed on that turned into a black market. He frowned at the thought. Black markets were never any good even on Earth so he could only imagine a WHOLE planet based around it.

"Sounds horrible. I hope both of those planets would be able to change back to what it was too. Unless the first one is destroyed?" He glanced to Zim.

[Dangerwolf1]

"It is. It didn't use to be though the planet use to have rules and laws when Zim had control over it before Frenzo paid him off to leave"

"Cyberflox is a terrible place...Hopefully Zim can fix it after everything else is dealt with"

"To fix it you'll have to get rid of Frenzo, are you able to do that"?

Zim made a face as his antennas twitched in a nervous manner "Does Major want to kill Frenzo?"

"Ha! He would have me killed on sight. You Irken's are so strange even though he betrayed you, Used you, lied to you you seriously still have some type of feelings towards him"

"Not Zim's fault its written into his pak...Zim can't harm Frenzo his pak won't let him...can we get off that subject Zim has enough to be depressed and irritated about"

[JimothyKudos]

Dib looked from the screen to Zim as they continued talking about Cyberflox and frowned. He looked to Zim. "Written? So it can be changed, can't it? It's coding? Can't it just be erased somehow? Or is it more in your brain that you're so attached to him?" He groaned as Zim said to move off the subject. "Fine but we can get back to that another time." He looked to Major. "We could let you go so you can speak with the Elders. Call us back when you get the answers, please."

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim glanced towards Dib but the more he spoke the more his antennas fell back and he chose not to answer his questions. He let out a breath of air to relax again as Dib agreed to let the topic go for now.

"Yes I will go speak with them and then call you back when I have an answer. Be careful you two" He said before ending the call.

Zim gave a slight wave before going to typing another number into the computer waiting to see if the Meekrob would answer.

[JimothyKudos]

Dib waved to Major just before the Dragonling hung up. He looked to Zim. "Do a lot of aliens know Earth and what humans are? I was a bit surprised at that. You told me Earth was on the edge of the great map so does that mean we've been contacted before by aliens? I suppose at some point we must have but I likely wasn't alive to see it. I just remember people claiming UFO sightings, but their accounts were rocky at best, with shaky evidence that could have been faked or none at all. Then there's the Roswell incident. I wasn't alive then but I was interested in it as a kid. The government claimed the UFO was just something they were testing but really, governments can't be trusted." He rolled his eyes. "They probably have so many secrets they're hiding from the public."

[Dangerwolf1]

"Many aliens know about Earth but not anything really good about it as humans are seen as almost primitive to most or nearly all other inhabited planets. Yet Earth was also known as a safe planet to hide on as a refugee but clearly not anymore. Any aliens on Earth most likely fled once they knew the irken empire was heading this way. It is possible that some of those stories are true but its hard to know" He said as he watched his call go unanswered and let out a sigh waiting a bit more before ending the call. His claws tapped on the keyboard as he thought about who else to call.

[JimothyKudos]

"We're not nearly as primitive as they have been in the past but I guess to aliens, it would be, huh? But still..." Dib didn't think all humans were that stupid. His father, while stupidly ignorant about the existence of monsters and aliens and whatever else he deemed un-scientific, DID in fact make very useful machines, one being Foodio. It was what he was known for other than his anti-Santa security system (although that invention, to Dib, was actually really stupid).

"My dad made the Foodio 3000. It practically eradicated world hunger."

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim listened to him and gave a nod "It's to be expected as humans are the youngest race out here that Zim knows about anyway. To all other races of aliens humans are just smeets learning to walk...Professor Membrane though is very interesting and it's that foodio machine that drew attention to him. The technology used for it is similar to that of Meekrob and the empire would love to get their claws on Meekrob technology...It would be the end of all freedom as we know it. Hopefully your father is not as smart as the meekrobian people or that he can play dumb or everyone not just Earth will be doomed"

[JimothyKudos]

"Oh, I see. And as far as I can guess, I would figure that goes for the lifespan as well? Can other aliens live longer than one hundred Earth years? How old are you? How old can Irkens get?" Dib listened to Zim telling him that his father's invention reminded him of Meekrob technology. "Huh, that's weird. Think it's a coincidence? Because there's no way that dad would have had any contact with aliens when he hadn't even believe in them until this invasion."
