"But won't the other Control Brains still locate your PAK signal?" Tak narrowed her eyes with suspicion.
Skeeto shook his head. "Modified my PAK.... we need to get to work on modifying both of yours too..." He dug through a drawer full of blueprints. He furrowed his brow.
"Wh-what?" Tak was beginning to feel nervous again. "Modifying a Pak is deadly!"
Without looking up, Skeeto replied flatly, "Propaganda."
"Propaganda!?"
"I'm not dead yet-"
Wendy scuttled her way over to her master, holding the blueprint he was looking for.
"Thanks Wends" Skeeto gently patted her head with his finger. He unrolled the blueprint across his desk, ignoring the bits and pieces of pet projects that fell from the surface and clanked onto the floor.
Tak shook her head. "How do I know that you're not trying to kill us?"
Skeeto looked up from his desk, "There are easier ways to kill you."

Mimi piped up.
"Seeeeeee?" Skeeto gestured towards the S.I.R. as if what she offered was more than enough evidence.
Tak growled. "Why is everyone that I know a complete idiot!"
Skeeto frowned to himself quietly, looking back down at his blueprints. Mimi jumped up onto his desk to take a look as well.
".-- .... .- - ... / - .... .. ... ..--.." Mimi pointed to a small, unlabeled chip hand-drawn into the blueprints.
"That's the most important part!" Skeeto smiled. "It's complicated to make, but that's what disrupts the connection with the Control Brains!"
Zim peered over Skeeto's shoulder, "That's it? That little thing is the key to taking down the Armada?"
"Well... it's an important part, but the true key is teamwork."
Tak rolled her eyes. "Ugh. What are you, gay?"
Skeeto looked up. "No? I-" he paused. "No, I'm definitely not. Not sure I can feel any attraction now that you bring it up..."
".. ... / - .... .. ... / .-. . .-.. . ...- .- -. - / - --- / - .... . / .-. . -... . .-.. .-.. .. --- -. ..--.." Mimi tried to bring the focus back to the blueprints.
"At the moment...no, you're right Mimi." Skeeto went back to looking at his desk. He began to write down a list of materials, handing it to Wendy. "Wends, can you tell me which of these parts we still need?"
Wendy took the list energetically and began gathering the items listed.
"Is shoving that chip in our PAKs gonna hurt?" Zim asked.
"Nope! You'll be unconscious!"
