{{R from television episode|Invader Zim}}

}}
[[Dib]] attempts to control Tak's ship (see "[[Tak, the Hideous New Girl]]"), but it is fruitless, as her personality is very well-ingrained into her ship. Dib then transfers his personality into the ship, which works. However, the ship believes it is the actual Dib, as it has Dib's memories. So he puts it in sleep mode while he goes to bed to figure out the mess in the morning.

Soon, the ship wreaks havoc, and [[Zim]] catches on to it's identity crisis, and then takes control of it's hapless personality, steering it to ensnare Dib, which works. Dib is taken prisoner and Zim and [[GIR (Invader Zim)|GIR]] force Tak's ship to run about skyscrapers, sealing Dib's fate.

Dib attempts to get the robot to remember himself, and the ship struggles with the conflicting forces. Soon, the ship comes to the edge of the dump, where Dib is to be drowned in the garbage. But in a well-timed plot notion, the ship remembers, and saves Dib, settling his identity problems.

Sadly, however, the ship realizes what a complete loser Dib really is, and decides to shut itself down...very, very, very slowly.

==Trivia==
