[Larvin] I was born on a peaceful planet
in a distant galaxy,
one unknown by this world.
We lived in harmony with the planet's alien species.
It was a symbiotic evolutionary masterpiece.
We had freedom from starvation,
and they had freedom from anxiety.
It was the most beautiful worms eating brains
I have ever seen...
until UniYum.
[hissing]
The toxic waste had mutated us beyond recognition.
The hunger overtook us.
It was horrific and delicious.
Aah!
[all screaming]
[screaming continues]
[Larvin] My mother did what she could to save me,
to save our species.
[worm mom] Be strong, my child.
You're the last of your kind.
[Larvin] Every juicy, yummy brain exploded.
All life was lost.
So I said to myself, "Glurg,"
I said, "Go see Knife Tentacles 3."
And I did!
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Mm.
The bad news is he can't die.
We'll figure you out, you little monster.
Ha, I guess the worm can die.

In potential future timeline 873B,
the worm amasses an army of clones.
[all exclaim]
Negotiation got us nowhere in the future timeline.
I told you it wouldn't work.
What if we hide Sleech and Klak in another dimension?
The tendril futures are the worst futures.
Enough! We survive this in only .4% of scenarios.
In all of those, it's because
we don't interfere with the timeline.
We let Sleech and Klak do whatever it is they're gonna do.
So because it's Flim's sister,
now w-we just trust future timeline tech?
No! I say we keep them locked up and stop the worm.
Ponko, I know you don't like future tech
because it says your wife leaves you,
but that's not future tech's fault.
It's bullshit science. It's based on-on probabilities,
which change every millisecond.

So, here's what's gonna go down.

You are responsible for the worm.
It was mutated.
By our UniYum toxic waste.
Right, right. Took you long enough.
You'll never be able to prove it.
Now, it seems that we can help each other out.
If you get me the worm,
I'll get you a fleet of UniYum lawyers.
I don't need you for that. I have Nebula General.
You can't have their lawyers if you no longer work there.

Why aren't you dying?
And why are you so dramatic?
[gasps]
Klak, this isn't stomach acid.
This is pure cortisol. Excess cortisol.
He's gorged himself.
Like, beyond what his body can digest.
It's actually hurting him. Why?
My guess would be...
Some regressive functional mutation
causing hyperinsulinemia.
So he can never feel full.
Is that why Larvin overeats?
And why he creates manifestations
to sate his unending hunger.
He's not a problem, he's a patient.
All this time, we just needed to treat him.
