“ It’s not a name, it’s a species as I said. ” Of course she didn’t care of the calm demeanor of the other, but she herself calmed down a bit as well.
“ Whatever, it means nothing now. I want to know what you are. Perhaps I could get a name, too? I don’t recall you giving me one. As a side note- i’d agree with you on humans if that means anything. I’ve been around for quite awhile now- long enough to see how much humans are stupid, useless piles of garbage. Therefore, perhaps we can agree on that. ” The entity stood there, lying about what he was and everything, that wouldn’t stop until this facade was completely seen through, which would be hard to do for sure.
“ There are lots of entities on this planet that aren’t human as well. Plenty, to be honest. I don’t know how much that appeals to you, but they’re less dumb most of the time. ”
"It’s the name of your species.”
“If you must know, my name is Tak. I’m Irken; though I doubt you’ve heard us. I’m not from here. I’m from another planet.” Space travel is hardly an accomplishment in her mind, but this planets technology is so primitive that they’ve yet to overstep the boundaries of their galaxy; perhaps being from a distant planet will inspire even a small amount of fear. Or something.
“Human or not, it doesn’t matter. I’ve yet to meet more than three people who aren’t affected by my mind control abilities, and that’s including you.”
“ Gee, someone’s in a worse mood than me. Hate to burst your bubble, cute face, but I’m not going to run into that wall. Why don’t you take the liberty~? ” And with that, she seemed to… vanish. Gone out of the knowledgeable field of vision. She was a satori after all, one that manipulated subconscious, and one of her abilities was to make people ‘forget’ her existence to the point she’s invisible, however next thing she was behind the other.
“ I’m sorry that i’m not a dumbass. I don’t like it when people make me mad and I don’t like it even more when people think that they can outsmart me. I can see into the subconscious mind, you see- I’m not human and I doubt you’re aware of what a satori is. ” Saeko had pretty much two stages - one where she revealed what she was and became more sinister but not exactly HABIT, and the cutesy human-acting one. This stage was… for the most part, the first of those two mentioned ‘stages’, which also was the worst to be in.
To add to that, HABIT’s natural ability to sense if things are human or not came into play, and-
" You’re doing a nice job disguising yourself too, if I do say so myself. ”
The vanishing act is surprising, but it’s nothing she hasn’t seen before. She can even do it herself; though the situation hardly calls for it. She tenses, but remains calm, eyes narrowed and searching for a sign that her foe is near. And when she appears behind her, the irken almost jumps with fright – but she doesn’t. Years of training have not gone to waste, and her calm demeanor when faced with a threat is something that stuck with her.
"You’re very intelligent, aren’t you? It’s almost a relief to talk to you; most people on this rock are nothing but blubbering idiots.” The not-human part didn’t come as a shock, as by this point, Tak has already figured that out. “What you are is irrelevant. I don’t care what you are. If the name Satori is supposed to impressme, it isn’t working.”
“ Say it again and i’ll tear your vocal cords out and shove them down your throat, tear the flesh off your face, sew it back on, and then we’ll see who’s ugly, fuckface. "
yeah okay perhaps that wasn’t the best idea.
” Anyways, I’m Saeko. Don’t you dare insult me again. People know better. Even non-humans know better.”
The sudden outburst is surprising, but amusing. Humans are quite feisty when they want to be; nothing short of mild entertainment for the Irken, of course. A smirk spreads across her holographic mouth. Adorable.
“It isn’t nice to threaten people, Saeko.” A purple spark of light flashes across her eyes. She’s really only using her ability for her own amusement, but whatever. That’s allowed. “You should apologize, and —- run into that wall over there.”
A… wonderful greeting. Nervously, Saeko shifted from left to right, reaching up to her face and rubbing. She… didn’t have a mask, right? “ Uh, you’re mistaken. I don’t have a mask on at all. I’m just myself, Saeko… “ Of course, there was the fact that she wasn’t really a ‘she’ and he wasn’t really named Saeko- but that was besides the point. It was so well hidden that it’d take a lot to find out, probably. Then again, if the other could see right through it this entire act would be lost in a split second.
Oh, wow; these creatures really are idiotic, aren’t they? If they can’t even comprehend a simple insult, maybe the planet actually is worthless. But then – it’s all the more easier to dominate. "It’s a joke moron. I was calling you ugly.”
Oh, and a few more things—keep a low profile if you’re going after Zim. To be quite frank I’d rather you not waste your time chasing after a loss cause. You can try, or you can find another assignment—or I’ll find one for you.”
it may sound like he’s being generous, but generosity had nothing to do with it. Yes, he was forgiving and giving, but with Operation Impending Doom II going so well, he couldn’t afford even the minimalistic of mistakes.
Also, he didn’t like soldiers going to waste. Tak may be of value to the Irken cause but he has no proof to present to the newly elected Council since Zim messed up the Control Brains. It wouldn’t be the rite of passage to just give anyone an invader rank to anyone should a monarch see fit. Tak had to help him before he could help her.
“A low profile will be easy; Zim is far too oblivious to notice me.”
“Personally, my tallest, I don’t consider Earth to be such a lost cause. Aside from the small amount of smart ones, the humans are actually extremely idiotic. Once Dib and his sister are out of the way, it should prove an easy take over.”
Okay, sure —- she really wants to beat Zim, but she isn’t lying. Even if the stupid rock has no valuable resources, it’s still another planet for the Empire. More planets mean more power, and besides, there’s nothing wrong with having a spare one hanging around, just in case.
“But of course, if you believe I am ready for a different assignment, I will be more than happy to abandon this one.”
