((previous)) “Thanks” Pen looks over to Vudof then back toward the Powercore. “If they aren't, they should be! Those bozos should know how the ship they help fly works.” Pen thought it was strange he was picking up swear words from the flesh pig, but their banter back and forth didn’t really help anything. “I know there are “Engineers”... But being a Navigator and not knowing what part of your ship is broken? Just doesn’t sit right.” The idea of having navigators with no idea how their ship runs, it rubbed Pen the wrong way. Then again Maybe Pen took learning how to run a ship a little too far. As he was trying to build one from scratch using human technology.

Pen inspects the ship, the mention of the ship being garbage wasn’t untrue but what else could he do. Humans haven’t really mastered space travel and their technology was rather limited as well.  “Yeah, it's a piece of shit, a piece of shit.” Pen almost growls the next sentence, even though the ship was garbage he still took pride in it. “I will make sure this ship can fly.” He pauses to reminds himself that this Irken was just here to help.

Pen then follows Vudof outside of the shed to were Vudof's escape pod stood.  “Ah, I thought you grew somewhat of an attachment to the Asswhole, But I was mistaken.” They stood rather tall as they looked over the escape pod, He had held back a bit of there excitement. It was great to see a piece of Irken technology, Even though it's not in the best shape.

“Skoodge? Is living in “Zim’s” basement? Why on earth would they want to live in “Zim’s” basement? Wasn’t there that whole betting thing...” He couldn’t quite remember what exactly happened as Pen was rather busy that day. Then again he was busy most days aboard the armada. He then reminds himself that the Irken next to himself was living with Zim too. On top of that, this Irken was helping him, He should try and at least play nicer, though Pen wasn’t the nicest Irken around. He was a rather grumpy Irken. He then states trying to fix things before its too late. “Then again some Irkens have no better option.”

The backyard really didn’t have much to it, it was an average yard. The Fence was tall and brown, and the grass short and green. Though this didn’t really matter to Pen what mattered was the Escape pod Vudof brought over. 

“So... You were able to make it to an escape pod? I am actually quite impressed to tell you the truth. Did you like being a Communications officer? You probably worked with Dingus and shithead at some point, did you?”

(Previous) A rather cocky smile grew upon pens face. He was proud of his knowledge of ships, It made his rather happy to be recognized. “Thanks, Vudof. I’ve always stated if you're going to Navigate a ship threw space. You might as well know how it works.” Not that they did much navigating. He continues to shuffle through the datapads as he awaits the return of Vudof. Finally finding the one he was looking for. It had data on exactly what he said planets very little data on very little planets. The planet Era 9 was displayed upon it at the moment. It mentioned being a rather pretty planet, But there wasn’t much else. Ora 3 was also on there it seems to be similar to earth but with giant mushroom forest.

When Vudof returned he proceeded to place the datapad within Vudof’s reach before grabbing the Powercore. looking every inch of it over, seeing Irken technology like this once more made him more hopeful that maybe he could get the ship done. There was a bounce of excitement but as soon as he noticed what he was doing he halted. “Well it is... it is from an escape pod...It's also a lot and I mean a lot better then” He proceeds to eye the shoddy power core he made with human tech. “This should most definitely work. If not I could..hmmm potentially...” He uses his free hand to tap his chin. “Make it stronger” His eyes narrow, As he checks every inch of the core. It looked in better shape then pen imagined it. It had a better chance of working then the power core he had been working on using human parts he could dig up.

He proceeds to place the power core on the table before looking at Vudof once more “Well I would love to see what could be salvageable from this escape pod of yours.“ He stands still before stating something he wanted to ask earlier but never got a chance to ask. “Hey, Have you seen any other Irkens well besides” The next word was said with pure hatred “Zim” His antenna twitched as he realized what he did “Sorry I did it again” 

[askzelandpenrp]

(Previous) clicking his tongue he states “The Flesh-pig Taught me”  He seems rather annoyed by that fact, having to learn how to cook and to rely so much on this human it hit him the wrong way.  Though deep down inside Pen is actually grateful he met them. “It's an earth recipe. He didn’t stop teaching me until I knew how to cook them... The right way” It was an earth recipe as far as pen knew.

Pen looks toward the door and motions for Vudof to follow them. as he pushes it open and enters the hallway. The hallway has doors leading to the rest of the house and the backyard. Displayed on the wall are many pictures of what looks to be a golden retriever with a human. He quickly walks to the door leading to the backyard and pushed it open. The backyard didn’t have much in it a black Shed with a pointed roof was all that was there. Surrounding the yard was a tall light brown fence made of wood. 

Pen didn’t even check if Vudof was following him. He made his way toward the shed and opened it using the device he had pulled out earlier. When it was open he entered the shed. 

Within the shed was A Small table(perfect for Pen) with a few Irken datapads and tools. (mixed in were tools from Earth) Displayed on the wall above the table was what looked to be badly drawn blueprints. (it's easy to tell pen was no artist) The ship was bigger than a car, From what could be told at first glance it looked like Pen had been grabbing human tech to piece it together. Right now it looked like Pen’s main focus was the electrical work of the ship. But From what can be seen was done with the ship was the main framework. Part of the controls and what looks to be the start of a makeshift engine.  On the side of the ship was the makeshift power-core pen had been working on, There was a note on it in Irken. “Do not use”  Pen walked toward the table and starts shuffling through the datapads.

Pen’s antenna twitched under his wig when he heard the doorbell quickly taking his eyes off the tablet he opened the door, To see Vudof. He was looking at Vudof for a while before he looked away he did not expect Vudof to be this big. Pen didn’t want to admit it but it made him nervous. He was used to having to do all he can for the others to get any recognition and it wasn’t easy he had to show all those above him respect and there was a lot that stood above him.  The front door opened into the kitchen The kitchen had an archway that leads to a rather small living room. You can see a bookshelf with a toybox and books with a singular trophy in the living room.  The kitchen, however, was rather huge It had a black table with 2 stools a Fridge not connected to anything and 3 windows two which were actually relatively normal. The 3rd, however, should be showing the livingroom from where it was placed but it didn’t The outside was clear as day. Everything else is what u expected a kitchen to have a stove, sink, counters, cabinets, a bunch of cooking utilities displayed on the counters and the unplugged fridge(despite it being unplugged it still made noise as if were on). On the table sat a bunch of bags of what could be seen were donuts. The kitchen had another door that leads into the long hallway that connected to the rest of the rooms in the house including the basement. It also had a door that leads to the backyard.

He looks behind the Irken to make sure no one followed them before moving out of the way so Vudof may come inside “Welcome to my house? Well, the flesh pigs house...Come on in, Make sure to close the door behind you.” 

“The ship is in the backyard in the shed,...” An arm stretched out of pens Pak to place a device that was stored in it upon his hand and put away his communication device in return. The device looked to be pink with 3 blue buttons, it was easy to tell this was used to lock up the shed. He proceeds to grab a bag off the table before offering it to Vudof (The bag contained donuts of different varieties) “For you” he pauses saying the next sentence with disgust “I made them myself” The idea of being forced to work as some kind of service drone pegged pen the wrong way but at least he could eat, Also not knowing how long Vudof may be here providing food was a beneficial thing or at least through Pen’s eyes it was. He patiently waited for Vudof to take the bag.

Vudof wasn’t sure how to reply. On the surface he was a loyal officer aiding an invader. Any member of the Irken Empire would have no reason to hide their location from another. But as a deserter he needed to minimize his contact with the Irken Empire so he wouldn’t be found out. He realized that taking so long to answer was suspicious on it’s own, he had to say something! Maybe he could delay cooperating until he found out more?

“First… can you please state your purpose?”

“Ah… well I don’t exactly have very high hopes, but it would be worth looking into.” He could always stay on Earth, Zim’s very presence greatly reduced the chances of being discovered and arrested as a traitor. He was a natural repellent for the Irken Empire. But he’d still love to explore alternative options that didn’t involve Zim or this filthy planet.

“Wow…” Vudof muttered when he saw the makeshift powercore. “That’s pretty impressive for being built from Earth garbage.” It was worrying that humans got ahold of Irken tech, but that wasn’t their concern at the moment. If Pen failed to retrieve it, Vudof doubted he’d fare much better. He gave Pen a sympathetic glance.

“I would honestly prefer to meet where the ship is. There’s more privacy, and I would rather not lug around the wreckage any more than necessary. I would also like to take a look at the ship so far.” As he talked, he got his tablet out and pulled up his scheduling app. “So does next Wednesday morning work? Can you give me the address for the human’s house?”

[askzelandpenrp]

Pen was always proud of his ability to build ships which got him thinking why didn’t he become an engineer? he quickly shakes the thought as there was more pressing matters “Mmm Thank you.” he states that with pride before continuing “It works for me.” Pen proceeds to pull out his communication device sending over the address to his house.  Pens house was actually 2 streets over from the membrane household.

“Right” He shakes his head thinking about how zim would react to knowing such a thing “bleh, yeah I get you…..hmm I have a device….with some information on a few planets…. but IDK how useful it will be…its very little information on very little planets….” “Hmm well that actually might help…” They stand up and grab a power core they have been working on, it doesn’t look the best, but he was building it purely with human tech he could find. “It would definitely work better than the one I built…and I started working on it the day I knew I couldn’t possibly fight a bunch of urthens for my old ship back…which is about a week after the florpus whole incident” he pauses and whispers “my baby…” However, you can obviously hear it. He turns his attention to the question about where they would meet. “Well the ship im building is at the “Flesh pigs” house he has graciously let me use his shed....its a rather big shed....He never goes in it.....i set up cameras to make sure...... But im off work on wensdays and fridays. the flesh pig has the same days off but they are going out on wensday and will be gone most of the day. Unless you feel more comfortable having our first meeting in neutral ground like a park. or something.”

Pen never really thought through exactly where he wanted to go he had a few planets in mind he wanted to check out but had no idea if staying on them was the best thing. Pen just knew that staying on a planet that can burn your skin and seemed to have an Irken wanting to take over the planet he didn’t particularly like probably wasn’t the best idea for him at least. “There is a few planets i had in mind to go to. But i guess i never really thought that part through i just wanted to leave. I know of a planet named Era 9 that was where i planned to go first.” Era 9 was a planet he spotted he has no idea if the irkens ever plan on going there in the future but he knew it was not a planet they planned on going to now, he has no idea what the planet even holds but it wasn’t earth so that in itself was a plus. Maybe it was his need to be in space that egged him on, he was trained to fly ships, and navigate through difficult terrain and more. Being grounded and feeling like they where stuck on a planet never particularly struck them as a good thing. He said the next sentence rather slowly it sounded like he was a bit nervous still but also relieved. “Yes i am on earth as well….im actually not to far away from where zim is located….to tell you the truth” if he could roll his eyes he would have.   When it came to building pen was rather proud of his knowledge of it, i mean your going to help fly a ship why not know how it works as well? Was always his thought because of this he could figure out why certain malfunctions would happen within a ship. He continued talking this time he sounded upbeat “The ship at this very moment is 34% done. I am currently working on the power core as my previous one was not to my liking, I made the previous one but it…did not function well.” That was the best way to say it blew up, but what is trial without error as long as he kept at it he would eventually finish the ship, he was also using human technology to try and build the ship which wasn’t the best in irken standards but he was making it work the best he can with what he had. “I have several things i need to work on still like the engine and the controls but the frame of the ship is finished.”  “Does “Zim” not have technology that would allow you to look over planets? Im sure if he does you could use it to look through the cosmos to find planets that could be suitable to your advancement…..” Advancement what advancement? why did he even say it like that, he laughs at himself before continuing “But if you don’t find anything soon then i get that, Pleasure to meet you as well Voduf” He proceeds to think if he ever did meet this other irken before “If we did maybe we didn’t notice?” He sounded rathered puzzled, maybe he had seen this irken before but wasn’t paying attention to names and etc because they where busy with other work at the moment.

(Previous) “I guess you could see it like that” Pen replies thinking about how he acted and voduf would get that impression. “i will try and not let my resentment shine through” he nods in response before thinking back on what annoyed him so much about zim. 

Pen seems to almost freeze when they mention the Florpus whole. This Irken survived? How? Was the words that went through there mind before realizing if he survived there could be other survivors like this Irken. Maybe it would be best to at least state what he saw at least “I saw the florpus whole” He seems to pause after saying this, the whole experience was just stupid it could have been avoided but no one listened to that poor irken telling the tallest to go around. Pen was glad he overheard them and decided to leave. It was the best thing he could have done. Crashing his ship not so much, he seems to almost panic when he realizes he hasn’t spoken for a bit. ”You would offer me help with my ship?” he seems a bit happy at that and a bit surprised. “My Name is pen” He states realizing he never told the other what his name even was. His name was a simple name but it worked for him. “ah..” he taps his chin was telling this irken so much such a good idea, it was worth a shot, pen thought to himself. “I’m currently based within a Flesh pigs house..i mean “human”’s house” He knew that information may be a bit to much but he was letting out a bit of hope that this other irken maybe the friendly irken he thought they were. “this ship ive been working on ive been making from scratch so far” he would not reveal his location yet. but at least he gave more information. he has no idea how this other irken would react to this new information.Then is struck him maybe this irken also needed something as well? “Is There anything you would like in return” He probably worded that wrong but he hopes it was correct.

“Excuse me, have YOU seen the state of his tech? Apparently he needs one! You wouldn’t believe how much time I’ve spent repairing mistakes from improper set-up and a total lack of maintenance. What a mess! Do you honestly think I had a choice about coming here?” While technically true, his words were carefully chosen to mislead. 

“So you think I’M shady? Go look in a mirror! You’ve barely told me anything about yourself! So you’re a navigator? Great! What ship are you stationed on? Who is your superior? And WHY are you wasting my time!? Either start answering or get back to work, because while we can both multitask, we both have a million more important things to do!“

[askzelandpenrp]

(Sorry for no reaction image) “”Shady” was never the word that came from my mouth.” His eyes squint ever so slightly as he grits his teeth before tapping his own head as a way to deviate from the anger he hold. its not the time to throw an attitude he told himself. Before continuing.  “Sorry” that word comes out as if it was something he wasn’t used to saying. ”I just hold some resentment fro Zim themselves and i may have let it shine through my attitude” Thinking about his superior and the last time they worked for them he couldn’t help but think of the days he respected his the empire. They let out what almost seemed like a sigh it would be best just to give an answer. he decided to just state it.  “I was on the massive” oh no another mistake by his part he said was. What was with him, and making mistakes lately, ugh. Maybe he can save it “Yes but not much i can do at this moment till i get the parts to fix the ship. So i wait.” A partial lie but still a lie maybe he covered his tracks and this irken won’t find out.

“You’re just asking out of curiosity? Aren’t you supposed to be too busy for small talk?” His flimsy reason only made him more suspicious. But… anyone trying to track him down would probably be more serious. He tried not to get his hopes up, but maybe this irken was like him? …Whatever, he couldn’t avoid answering forever. His expression softened, but he was still wary of the other Irken.

“I meant your exact purpose. And I’m a technician currently aiding Invader Zim on Earth.”

[askzelandpenrp]

“Yes Busy!” He proceeds to nervously laugh before his expression turns rather serious

 “I think i’m perfectly capable of multitasking” The name the other irken mentioned sent a scowl on his face. he didn’t particularly like zim but he wasn’t going to let his resentment take over him. “A Technician helping “Zim”?” You can tell the disbelief in this irken. “Why would they send a technician to help zim?” Maybe his resentment did take over a bit there he still didn’t know much about this particular irken Maybe he should pull back a bit. “Someone such as yourself must be better have the capabilities of being in a better position”
