Chapter 45 – The Earth (There is a black screen with ‘one week later’ written over it) Scene: outer space! It appears at first as an insignificant dot, just another speckle of decoration on the landscape of the galaxy. As it grows nearer, it can be distinguished to be a lovely blue colour. It sparkles gently. Soon it is close enough, yet still small enough, that Dib thinks he could reach his hand out, grab it, and eat it like a jawbreaker – a blue, green and white jawbreaker, with a small moon orbiting it. Everyone in the Cruiser is completely quiet. Zim is driving now, with GIR sleeping on the floor behind him, an

Chapter 43 – The Friends Scene: coming up to Cureallia The words ‘some time later’ spread across the screen briefly, over the image of Cureallia. News does indeed spread quickly across the planets of the Irken Empire. Everyone has by now heard about the execution of an insane ex-invader who, as the story goes, accused the Tallest of being villains. How laughable! And such a fitting end for the poor fool who dared do such a thing. For the planet Cureallia, however, it is life as usual. The familiar swarm of little ships travel to and from it, collecting remedies for diseases and the ingredients for remedies for diseases;

Chapter 41 – The Mercy Scene: the dusty little docking bay A1 carefully places the gun Zim had taken from him back on his belt, as Rebda forces herself to settle down and try to get her thoughts together. She is sitting with injured leg stuck out, leaning on her arms and staring at the floor. A1 fingers the money Dib gave him. Finally, the sounds of churning gears are no more. The Cruiser is gone. In the new, perfect silence, Rebda sits up and hunches her shoulders, moving herself so that she’s facing her ex-henchman. She gives him a very bitter death glare. REBDA 
You betrayed me, and have done the whole Empire a poten

Chapter 39 – The Getaway Scene: the execution hall On the stage, a mob of Irken paparazzi appear and mill around, frantically indicating that they want the Tallest to pose for them. Amid swirling spotlights, the Tallest cheerfully strike heroic poses against a backdrop of their besotted fans/subjects. They’d never miss a chance to display themselves as the pillars of JUSTICE that they think they are. Not far behind them, Rebda finishes up a wicked laugh, and casually leans against the little machine within which lies the melted pak. JOURNALIST-TYPE IRKEN Mistress Rebda! Will you give us some– REBDA
 Fodder? Yes, ve

Chapter 37 – The Dungeon A1 has been explaining the rescue plan to the humans. There is a fade to black. A few suspenseful beats later, the next scene fades in. Scene: the same production room from before, with all the paks The door at the end of the catwalk opens, and A1 marches in. In front of him, under careful watch, are Dib, Gaz and GIR. GIR doesn’t really know what he’s doing here, and he’s starting to look bored. All the pretty paks hold his interest for half a second, then his mad mind begins to wander. His claws twitch. Something to play with, that’s what he needs... They walk in a line towards a re

Chapter 35 – The Fantasy Scene: still in the waiting room When the doors close again, our little heroes are left all alone with some guard they've never seen before. He turns to face them and clears his throat, but Dib lifts a finger and gets in first. DIB Okay. Before you start abusing us for being different, let me just say that I will NOT be held here against my will, when I want to be out– PRISON GUARD (interrupting) Abuse you? Actually, I thought maybe you would like some food. Aren't you hungry after your ordeal? Dib is taken aback, but when he thinks about it, he realises he's starving. Gaz nods in answer to the guard'

Chapter 33 – The Catch (There is a black screen with 'some time later' written over it) Scene: a waiting room on the Massive The room is bright red, a colour which is not helping to soothe Dib's nerves. It is small, with chunky 'funky' decorating. The idea is, while you sit there in the waiting room, you admire the great wealth and attractive taste of those who own it. Not that anyone in the room is thinking about such trivial things at the moment. It is very quiet, all the alarms now silent. Two doors are set in the walls, each guarded by two beefy and well-armed officials. Apart from those doors, there are no other exits from the room.

Chapter 31 – The Heroine Scene: exterior side-shot of the Massive A panel in the side of the great ship opens and out streaks the Voot Cruiser. It is being steered by Gaz's expert piloting skills, her features set with cold determination. Sitting on the dashboard, still counting down, is the little bomb. The girl checks it. 05:23 GAZ (thinking) Rrrrrrrr ... there's so little time left. Still ... all I have to do is get the bomb far enough away from the Massive so that when it explodes it won't destroy anything. I can manage that. Annoyance twists her expression when she takes full notice of all the smaller ships whizzing around the Mass

Chapter 29 – The Inevitable Scene: a peachy-coloured corridor in the Massive Gaz, ticking bomb in hand, is sprinting. Not something she does often, but it is very invigorating. She is breathing in a regular rhythm and is starting to feel really alive. Tingly thrills are chasing each other through her veins. The little human girl charges through throngs of Irken civilians, who watch her in disbelief. She is perfectly aware of how alien she must look. Not one of the gawking Irkens tries to stop her, as most of them recoil in disgust from the creepy-looking alien. A few of the more quick-witted guards had thought to give chase once Gaz burst
