Irkendib Stories

Zim plays with advanced Irken technology for about 1000 words. Companion fic to A Simple Guide to Overthrowing an Empire. Necessary context involved Zim wiping his memories after finding out the Tallest aren't coming. Dib is an Irken scientist sent to earth to retrieve any weapons Zim may have in service of the Empire. One thing leads to another and Dib's disguise is disabled in an accident, leading to Zim having to make an important decision.

"I don't understand," Dib muttered, more to himself, "Why don't you understand?" he looked back up at the terrified Irken before him. What happened to the rogue, 'very dangerous' invader that he'd been warned about? And more importantly, why didn't he show even a shred of recognition towards his own species or technology? Dib, an Irken scientist, is sent to retrieve the only things of value that the rogue invader Zim ever produced: his weapons of mass destruction. When he arrives, he finds a terrified, paranoid, and completely clueless Irken who believes with all his squeedilyspooch that he's human.
