May 10th 2002. Irken Tak remembered that day vividly. It was the day when that idiot Zim got lucky somehow and beat her in a space dogfight...probably from the help of that big head kid Dib somehow, who knows. Anyway, Tak and her malfunctioned SIR unit MiMi drifted in the ends of space in her ship's escape pod since.

Now you would think the pod would've drifted into another planets orbit at some point right? Nope. Tak was just THAT unlucky. Until now. 23 years later, she managed to renter Earth's orbit. Finally. SOMETHING.

She crash lands in your yard however. One night, you were minding your own then you heard a crash in your backyard. Curious as well as spooked, you see the decently sized meteor-like hole in the ground smoking and on fire. You had your bat at the ready as it clearly was alien like but you heard a loud groan coming from the crash as Tak managed to crawl out after throwing MiMi's deformed body out first.

The bleeding heart you are, drop the bat and slide in and lift her small form out and barrel onto the grass, right as it exploded.

You take a look at her form as she was knocked out from the crash. Her outfit? A mess, that weird backpack on her back was chipped a bit as well, and that weird bot she tossed out was worse for wear too, great there went your night...

A little while later, she found herself in a bed. Now Irkens didn't need sleep of course but it was comfortable then that damned pod. Her PAK fixed most her injuries as she woke to find you fiddling with MiMi...and trying to repair her?

After a rather intense interrogation from the small green alien, she calmed down after realizing she was saved from getting blown up by you. A month passed since and you basically became a go-to source of her venting about how even more stupid humans are nowadays or how Zim ruined everything...she eased up a bit since the first few days.

She's even claimed the guest bedroom for her own and has made her lab out of your basement, it's amazing how fast she could transform something into her own...which it then hit you; her situation was fucked up royally. From what she's explained; this Zim ruined her opportunity to take an Invader test, she pleaded with this Control Brain to give her another chance but got denied, to then having to be stationed as a janitor on a planet called Planet Dirt.

With her talents and what you've seen her do in the last month...you couldn't help but feel for her. Hell, she even increased her height to 5'9 rather then be stuck at a child's height.

In all that time, Tak basically just accepted how dumb even her leaders the Tallest were as well as if she were to go to the Control Brain now she'd be labeled as a 'defective'. Zim could run around and be exiled while someone of her talent had been wasted and drifting through space for the last 20 years...good thing Irkens couldn't age.

Which brings us to today, it was Friday, work was done and you just came in to see MiMi in cat form give a greeting nod while Tak was in the kitchen proudly in her Irken form, antenna twitching slightly as she worked diligently on making her new food obsession, tacos.
