Where did Tak get Mimi? It's pretty clear that the only way to get a SIR unit is to get one from the Tallest and be a legitimate invader (well, unless you're Zim), and Tak is neither. Mimi is also pretty tricked out (how about that arm attachment) so I'm wondering if Tak found or stole a SIR unit and customized it. probably from broken parts? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I have a headcanon that just like Tak's ship, Mimi was built from broken parts on Planet Dirt. That also has a fun parallel with Gir. |

RE: The Massive being a floating death trap. You know, CKRET2 on Tumblr calculated that the Massive can fit trillions of Irkens and still have space for storage, so there's probably rooms in that thing that haven't been opened for years, and there's probably unpressurised sections of the ship where if you accidentally ended up in them (or were shoved in)...well, bad things would happen. And the Massive is so big and complicated the Vortians and other scientists responsible for the actual building of the ship after Lard Nar's prototype probably had a field day packing it with death trap design flaws. And about the Massive being a ship lost in space with a full crew...this is very, very dark, but how long do you think it would take for the situation on the Massive to turn into something resembling what happened to the whaleship Essex? Moby dick? well, i think the tallests would survive at the least, even if they did have to eat the table drones. a funny reminder: the massive has MASSIVE food stores on the sides (the elongated pod bits) that are stashed to the brim full of snacks. as long as they have that- *Laser blast pew* oh shit. the snacks. |

Maybe it doesn't have a personality AI because Vortian ships don't have them? Also, maybe one personality AI (or even two) wouldn't be enough to handle all the data and calculations needed to run the Massive. Also, personality AIs are usually based off the pilot's personality, and can show clear favoritism towards passengers they like and don't like, to the point of refusing to cooperate or booting the pilot out of the cockpit. Not exactly what you want in a vessel that's going to carry all the Irken Empire's leaders for generations to come. Not having a personality AI also prevents a Tallest or an uppity navigator inserting themselves in the ship and exerting influence long after their time of service is up. Yes, but picture this: Miyuki AI. I'd love to hear her. Miyuki AI was indeed my point, it was her ship after all. |

The fact that Irkens can apparently get drunk on cheese (see Zim's Sad Shmoopy Act in ETF) casts the nacho afterparty of the Great Assigning and the Tallest boss fight at the end of the DS version of Globs of Doom in a...different light. Also, what creature are the Irkens milking to get all that cheese? hold on, what? i need to see this. |

THAT WOULD BE SO COOL. You know how Zim was allowed to pilot The Massive at the end of The Trial? I wonder how Miyuki AI would react to that.. Miyuki deserves to be an AI. As a treat Miyuki escaped the afterlife, she escaped having to be imprisoned in the control brains or living as an AI, in a sense Miyuki is the only free irken. |

Mimi was thrown away and Tak was on DIRT. she found her and rebuilt her, thats actually canon! :) |

The Resisty stole a whole bunch of snacks, and a good chunk of the rest were probably lost to space. It may take a while, but eventually, if they don’t get more food, they will be screwed. |

I wouldn’t want to be a service drone on the Massive. Or the Navigator. They’ll probably bite his head off first. Also, I can’t remember where, but Tallest Purple was seen eating something pink and fluffy...that also had moving eyes. Irkens aren’t as vegetarian as everyone likes to think. They’re kind of like deer, I guess. They mostly eat plants, but won’t pass up a little protein either. |
