It's Only A Matter of Time

Start from the beginning
                                        

The elevator finally made it's stop at the base's basement bottom. Once down, Mary could see the monster contained.

Roz could still speak in the amniotic fluids. She banged her enraged fists against the glass. "You smelly green booger! What is this?"

"Its the truce you fragrant scented shloob. You surender and agree to not trying to kill me or my species by agreeing to being frizen forever. I can study your human race that way too." Mary giggled.

"NO IT ISN'T! I DONT LIKE THIS! LET ME GO RIGHT NOW-"

The irken turned on the frezze mode for the tube. Stopping Roz's horrible screching and preparing her display for the tallest.

Mary initiated the trasmission. She could hardly handle herself she was jumping up and down so much.

Once the transmission was through, Mary could hardly wait to speak.

"Scientist-

"I did it my Tallest! I did it! I did it! I did it!"

The Tallest was questionable but the little scientist's tone of voice made him excited.

"Woah woah. What did you do?"

"I trapped the threat! I caught the human!"

"You WHAT?"

Mary stepped aside to show the screen her achievement.

"Well you see, I lurred the human into my base and there was a truce involved and-"

"You trapped a human?" The Tallest was ecstatic. Yes she did the exact opposite of what he asked her to do, but he could see it right there. She did it. She caught something that was dangerous and could possibly kill her.

"Yes I did! Yes I did!" The tiny child jumped up and down.

"This is both amazing and absolutely horrifying!"

"I know!"

"Hold on let me go over there and get a better look."

Mary was so ecstatic, flapping her arms in joy and waiting in anticipation for the Tallest.

The Tallest tapped his nails on a holographic keypad next to him. A pixelated portal opened next to him and through it the tallest went. Lab jacket and all.

Out of the portal and into the dark basement he stepped.

"So where's the...the human... irken scientist...wait." the joyed expression changed to realization and then to fear. Sweat ran down his flesh toned skin. Hands, each with five fingers, trembling in anxiety. Spiky lightning bolt hair stood on its end, attached to a large fearful head. An epiphony came over him. That epiphany:

"I'm...not an alien...MARY!"

Dib ran into every dark corner but couldn't find anything. No signs of life. No signs of movement. So noises of any kind. Not even a hunt of metal.

The room seemed to go on for ages. No exit and no entrance. And an non echoing silence accompanied Dib's footsteps and screams. No lights, no moniters, and no accompanying beeps or boops. Nothing.

Another step into the darkness resulted on the stepping of broken glass. Broken glass? From what?

Dib kneeled down to inspect the glass. He picked it up. It was like ice.

"What?"

A humming sound grew louder and louder. It was so loud it was hard to tell where it was coming from. It sounded so inhuman.
