It's a Wonderful Self

That is the true meaning of X-Mars.

Heard that survival.

Heard that story from you, Dar.

Yeah, as if you've never

come up more than once, I guess.

Well, it's a classic, you know?

As if you don't retell the same stories every X Mars or listen to the same music and a lot of you're never gonna believe this, which is a little weird enough.

And you also prefaced it with, I know you've never heard this before, but and we have heard it before.

Okay, I have survived this criticism, and thank you for this gift on X Mars.

X Mars Eve!

X Mars Eve!

Well, everyone, I think I'm gonna turn it.

Did everyone put out their boots?

Yep.

Oh, yeah.

I guess I'll get this up on the fridge.

Okay,

I'll be, of course, shedding my exoskeleton on one of my legs here.

It's

close as I can come to a boot.

It's a little flaky, so be careful when you put things in there.

Hey, Pup is not here.

I'm gonna tell him to bring his boot out.

Yeah, Plex been.

Where has Pup been?

I've been feeling a little, uh, I mean, he's always kind of like that but I feel recently he's been more like mad you know yeah I've noticed that as well

happy X Martinez everyone's putting their boots out and see he's putting a weird little uh bug like

so just want to remind you put your boots out so um yeah yeah even though we're in hyperspace headed to Quantaris to kill the black deleter like the space flip that gives presence can still find us right uh yeah he usually's able to find find everybody.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, don't worry about that.

Hey, you seem uh sad.

What's up?

You know, it means a lot that you asked, AJ.

I think you should make me sad.

Like, this is great.

Not only is it X-Mars, but, like, you're about to fill your prophecy, you know, that's pretty fun.

And in the process, irrevocably changing the reality of the whole universe.

Yeah,

yeah, you said it.

Revoiring.

AJ, do you ever wonder

if, you know, the thing you're meant to do is something you

you can't do?

No,

should should I?

I really think about the enormity of what we're about to go do.

It just

really hits me.

It makes me think,

why me?

So, are you

putting your boot out or?

Yeah, I'll be up.

I'll be.

Okay,

well,

happy X Mars.

Um,

this was fun.

Thanks, AJ.

Um, I guess I'm gonna get Agnags ready.

Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go.

Um, oh, sorry, Papa, I gotta go get Agna again.

I know I said I was gonna turn in, but uh, AJ, I'm gonna watch one of my movies again.

Oh, which one is it?

Barty Saves X-Mars?

All of them.

Deal with it, hyperdrive.

You should come watch Barty Saves X-Mars with us.

Or the Bargie Clause, where Barty turns into the space look.

I'll be on the second.

Okay, alright.

Best night of the year.

Nothing like being surrounded by your friends and knowing exactly what your purpose is in life.

I love this part of the movie

Forward together.

Everything you've done in the past has led you to a moment that makes sense.

Oh, wow, this is right before Bargie gets the contract that has the Bargie clubs in it that turns you into space like AJ, let people watch this.

I'm sorry, I love it.

Sometimes I wish it there wasn't prophecy.

Sometimes I wish that I'd never been bored.

It's Guzzle.

It's Guzzle, not Gobble.

I haven't mastered the space.

I haven't mastered the stuff.

I don't even know myself.

Why would the space choose me?

Remember, Cleck, the space will be with you always.

Oh.

Sorry, sorry, who is this?

Master Kiarando?

I'm sorry.

Listen, a lot's been going on.

I'm still around, Cleck.

Okay.

Good, yeah.

Okay, great.

Master Kirando,

this prophecy that I have is so

much bigger than me.

It's so much bigger than any of us.

Well, the space has chosen you for a

admittedly grand destiny, Blektexetter.

And it is your responsibility to rise to meet it.

I can't.

I can't do it.

I don't want the prophecy.

I don't want it.

I don't want it.

I can't do it.

Are you trying?

What?

Are you even trying to do it?

Yes, are you kidding?

Yes, I think about it all the time.

It's all I can think about.

I just, in this moment, sort of feel like, you know, maybe the universe would be more balanced without me.

Is that really what you want, Black Dexter?

Yes.

Yes.

Very well.

Focus on the sound of my voice and be transported.

What was that sound?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Just an attempt to give you a new perspective.

Hi, Rondo.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I just think I need some time alone to think.

Plus, my room is sort of too small for two people, so.

Yes, but look around.

Zema Knight Practiceta.

Is this your room?

I mean, yeah, it's the

broom closet on Bargie.

Yes, but where is the soil of cardboard box?

That is your bed.

I mean,

that's gone, but it's probably for the best.

Maybe somebody may have thrown that out, actually.

Indeed.

Hey, who are you?

Uh, what?

Huh?

Who are you?

What are you doing in the closet?

Who are you?

I'm Flinker.

Oh, are you one of the stowaways?

What?

Yeah.

Fwinker, amazing set out there.

I love you.

I love your stuff about how the the genders are so different.

Thanks.

It's all about observing, you know?

I loved your set about how ship food is worse than land food.

Listen, it's so bad right now.

Listen, I don't mind if you guys stow away, but this is my room, so like, go to the cargo holder.

Bargie's about to do her set.

That's the stage manager.

Yeah, yeah.

Bargie, what set is this?

Alright, how much time do I have, Jeff?

Wait till you see the light, Barge.

You know it goes.

Alright, alright.

Hold on, let me take a quick drag.

Are you drunk?

Hey, it's X Bargie.

I'll do as much as I want.

Bargie?

Hey, hey, you.

What's your name?

Are you on the bill?

Who are you, people?

I'm Jeff, the stage manager.

Okay, fine.

Clear out of the green room.

The the what?

Bargie has volunteered to be the green room for this show, but you have to, you know, she's about to go on stage, so you gotta get out.

Okay, Dar, C-53, Nerman.

Hey, kid, is that part of your act?

Just yelling out names?

No, first of all, that's a terrible act.

Why would I do that?

I agree.

Okay, save that for the downtown scene, you alt comedy nerd.

Hey, Jeff!

Hey, Jeff!

What's up, Barge?

Uh, where am I?

You're drunk.

You're on stage at the Totopo Casino Barn.

Bargie.

We gotta get to Quantaris.

Get back into space.

Get out of it.

Bargie, open the door.

Bargie, come on.

Hello, Tatopo Casino.

It's me, Bargie.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

Clap.

I know what you're thinking.

What happened to her?

Well,

life happens.

It's not a

Okay, Bargie, I don't know what's going on here, but it's time to go.

Let me in.

She doesn't know you, Black Texas.

What are you talking about?

I've known Bargie for six years.

No one in the Zig Squadron knows you.

Isn't that what you asked for?

Are you telling me I don't exist?

You didn't want your destiny, Blektexetter.

And the only way to escape one's destiny

is to not exist.

There's no longer a self associated with Blektexetter.

Yes.

He moves through the space and the stuff

with nothing.

No relationships.

No, no, this can't be right.

No, there must be some sort of gas leak, or I'm on the reflectorium or something like that.

I gotta get out of here.

And yeah, I don't think about things and what I've been wrong.

Did you know we're gonna work for the federated alliance?

Did you know that?

The federal federal federal federal hail, the federal

alliance,

all hail the federated alliance.

That's right, Fleck.

Why are they saying that?

Perhaps you're more important than you'd like to admit, Fleck Deck Center.

How many of you think I should have been removed from the industry show of hands?

Sure, I can't.

She said.

Nobody answers the question.

Get out of here.

Hey, I gave her a drink.

Get out of here.

I was waving to my friend.

I was just trying to get curly fries.

I used to be a star.

My species arm is always up.

I was given an opportunity once we left.

I gotta talk to Dar, so Dar will know what's going on.

Do you wish to speak with Dar?

Yes, yes.

I can take you to see them.

Fine, fine.

Let's just go.

Let's see what Dar is up to on this X-Men's Eve.

Oh, hello.

Well

see you later middle.

Thank you.

This is to topo

whatever.

Whatever.

Bargie, your life, you got 15 more minutes to your life.

It's a 30-minute set.

It's a 30-minute set.

Greetings and salutations, travellers, and welcome to Gymnasia.

Though, I fear you've chosen a right tragic moment to visit this formerly cubio planet.

I, we used to happily work double hours on XMARS, pouring barrels of acne down the gymnoids to satisfy the great beast within.

But as you can see, the planet's just sort of rolled over.

The Great Beast has died.

It all started cycles ago when ambassadors from the Federated Alliance arrived.

Or hello Federal Rights.

They were just so damned to business and efficient at their jobs.

And disinterested in rambling X-Mars stories come full of dramatic irony.

That after their door visit, the joy of X-Mars just started to deplete, didn't it?

The gymnoids clogged, and the Great Beast eventually perished, sending most of our citizens fly off the planet, as with the beast's life went dark gravity.

Luckily for me, I've held fast to this mailbox.

Anyway, my only remaining joy, as you can see, is Sartorial Willies.

Gone are my rich urchin clothes, and in their stead, the finest wares from Stitch Fix Freestyle, a shop built just for you.

And a Xbox Do you use?

Ah,

can clock out now.

I have worked a fall shift.

Now, for some me time.

I'm gonna prepare for work tomorrow.

Let me just queue up a couple of messages I plan to send out in the AM.

Review my calendar.

Darn!

Oh!

There you are.

Thank Rod.

Oh, I'm sorry, you're getting to me after hours.

I'm gonna have to charge overtime for this.

No, Dar, it's me.

It's Pleck.

Ah, the new guy.

Well, welcome to the Desilmash.

Hey, man, what's sleazy?

No, no, no.

This is all wrong.

Sleazy?

Especially that part.

Yes.

Some of the other crewmates and I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out afterwards.

Get to know each other.

Speak.

Oh, um.

Personalize.

Make a relationship.

That's really

flattering, I'm sure, but I have a very strict no-fraternizing with co-workers policy, so off you off you go.

We want to learn about you.

Come on, Tar.

We're all hanging out.

Treats on old Dez.

Listen, old Dez, I'm a private sentient.

I do not need friends.

Don't read into it,

but please respect it.

But it's X-Mars Eve, Master Dar.

The night right before X-Mars.

Just before it.

Yeah, I get it.

Look, just because we can't be with family or friends does not mean we need to intimate that we are any closer than we are.

So

that clock strikes.

It's Explorers.

Who are these people?

Wait, who's you got?

Hey, it's me, Plume Targland.

Plume Targland, yeah, the missions operations manager, senior missions operations manager.

Ha ha ha,

my dude.

And I am F U N K 5, Protocol Droid and everyone's close friend.

Kirondo,

how is this possible?

The Desil Mash exploded.

Did it, Click?

Yes.

Without you, the Bajurian Jade's encounter with the Grower Mind never happened.

Which means the Grower Mind's assimilation bender affecting the Desilmosh never happened.

My rod.

Like ripples in a pool of water, Cleck.

Sort of reductive?

Okay, well, you're having trouble understanding the other stuff, so I thought I'd maybe dumb it down a little bit, but here we go.

Dar will link secrets, Lisa.

Nope, no, thank you.

Dar is sitting at a desk.

They're wearing a full uniform that's all buttoned up and everything.

Without your dorky influence to pick on, Dar had to become more professional to survive, resulting in the Dar that you see before you, a friendless, professional ambassador for the Federated Alliance.

Dar, remember, we were on a crew together.

We were on the Bargerian Jade for six years.

Wow, okay, Nuke is kind of freaking me out.

Parka, Anarak,

Present and accounted for.

Is it squashing time?

Dez, you want to crack the hatch?

I've got some garbage to throw out.

Stay away.

Let's take it easy now.

He's just a little guy.

This will be quick.

Give us two shakes of his tiny body.

Kirado, get me out of here.

Get me out of here.

As you wish, Black.

Morner.

That was close.

Well, perhaps for you, Pleck, I am but an ephemeral specter in this reality.

Why was Dar a member of a different crew?

Pleck, the crew of the Bargerian Jade was assembled because of their compatibility with each other, and that includes you.

With you not around, Dar was assigned to a different ship, where they requested transfers every time someone threatened to form a friendship with them, leading to their presence on the Desil Marsh.

Sad.

Is it?

It's just a different reality.

Yeah, different realities can be sad.

Well, it depends on your perspective.

No, I think objectively sad here.

I don't know, there's some good stuff.

Oh, yeah?

There's some really great albums in this universe, Back.

Wait, I prevented albums from happening?

That could be right.

Yeah, Jordan Bakorgan makes a super group with Pini Gorneau.

That's incredible.

Oh, that does make sense.

Yeah, I guess I could see that happening.

I sort of sort of quashed his creativity.

Yeah, it's good.

Space down.

Wait, wait a second.

Where are we now?

You'll see soon enough.

All right.

Lock and load.

X Bar Z.

The only boots the Plaxons are gonna see are the ones who are putting up their assholes.

Let's do this.

AJ.

Who the Chuck is AJ?

I'm RK9932, and I'm BT7056.

Sorry, I'm looking for AJ284.

Get down on the ground.

Okay, okay.

I'm looking for AJ2884.

That idiot?

You're an idiot.

You are.

Go over there.

Don't you defend him?

Don't defend me.

What?

Who's defending him?

I'm not defending anyone.

Yes, stop.

Somebody wants to ask about you.

Okay?

AJ, AJ.

come to Plaxis 4, they said.

We'll have a few laughs, they said.

AJ,

AJ2884, it's me.

It's Pleck, your papa.

What?

Papa's weird.

I don't want to use that as a term.

Well, it was your choice.

What?

Are you a Plaxon?

No, no, no, no.

Because I'm supposed to be killing you if you're a Plaxon.

No, no, I'm not.

AJ,

what are you doing?

You're still working with these jokers?

Still?

What are you talking about?

Who are you?

AJ, AJ, I'm the person who taught you you could be more than this.

You didn't have to be just a

cog in a big machine of destruction.

Well, I mean, I was also in Clint Sink.

Yes, that's true.

We broke up because

2297 thought he was gonna go solo, and he did, and they did.

He was great, and he was incredibly successful.

You guys look like a real asshole.

The rest of us got left behind.

And now I'm

doing a

species cleanse on X Marzo

AJ Yikes AJ AJ this is you don't have to do this you could walk away from this well then what would I do any literally anything not really besides wipe out the species on this planet no I would have to like find people that I felt like I clicked with and that I felt were powerful enough to keep me safe from the Federated Alliance because I think they would probably kill me if I defected.

I mean but if I had like what roughly like four or five really good friends that I felt like accepted by, and kind of like, we would rib each other, but it would still be fun, and we'd all like get each other.

But since I don't have that,

loud up.

All right, get me out of here.

This is bad.

Kirando, I need to see C53.

He's smart, he's adaptable, he's probably fine, right?

Very well.

C53 it is.

Wait a second, this is Tatopo because we were just here.

I said I wanted to see C53, not Bargie.

Look in front of you.

What are you talking about?

There aren't any droids here.

It's just a line of slot machines.

I want to gamble.

Move out of the way.

Insert bills for change.

Oh, no.

I want change.

And he earns your change.

C53.

Listen, if you need change, if you could just give me a minute, I just choked down a 50, so I would love just a break for a second.

C53,

what happened to you?

What are you doing inside this change machine?

We gotta get your cube out of here, buddy.

Okay, pal.

Uh, well, listen, unless you're my probation officer, I don't think I'm getting out of this change machine.

Uh, hey, listen, I'd rather not go into it right now, so you want to just cram a bill down my throat.

I'd rather do that.

C53, you can tell me.

I'm your best friend.

Oh, okay, best friend, my good buddy, random Tellurian jackass on Totopho Casino.

Yeah, you want my whole life story?

Hey, just shut a chip into my chest.

Ow!

Yeah, here's another one for you.

Listen, pal.

I didn't kill that kid, alright?

The counselors did it.

The counselors, I tell you.

Oh, no.

You talking about Centurion Tittle?

What are you, a true crime podcaster?

Yeah, Centurion Tittle, alright?

It was a quantar and override.

It was not my fault, alright?

But I went down for it.

Oh, no.

So my options were total demagnetization

or

could work for cheap.

Happy?

Is it what you wanted to hear?

My best friend?

Kirando, you said without me the crew was assigned to different ships?

I said Da was assigned to a different ship.

Nerman, Bargi, and C-53 were all assigned to the six squadrons, just as you once were.

Dar wasn't there to stop C-53.

Alpha Sensisu must have been devastated.

Indeed, they were so devastated that they were unable to lead the rebellion to success.

They were crushed by multiple planet crushers.

Oh, so that still happened.

That part was.

They found the rebel base and crushed it like five, six times.

It's totally unnecessary.

So the Council of Seven wasn't betrayed by Gunther Balweet?

That's right.

Without the presence of the Venercron, then there were no seeds of discord sown in the alliance, which allowed them to flourish, crush the rebellion, and bring the galaxy to its knees.

Oh, no.

Pleck, you are important to the galaxy, and without you,

Wackness runs rapid.

You must meet your destiny, young Dexever.

But if you do not, this is the fate that awaits your friends and the universe.

But everyone is safe.

Everyone's alive.

They're not putting their lives in danger for some crazy prophecy with me at the center of it.

AJ's doing what he loves.

Bargie's at least got a career.

Dar is...

Oh!

She's not the closer!

Oh, the closer is Tiny Toots!

What about Nermit?

Clark, I have shown you many things.

Some

quite disturbing, but please do not ask me to show you Nermit Bundeloy.

No, I have to see, I have to see Nerman.

I have to make sure he's working in some middle management position.

At least show me someone that's happy in this reality.

I can show you, Black Tech Setter, but surely at this point, you know, you must have seen the pattern here.

I mean, I don't know.

Call me an optimist, I guess.

Good boy.

Okay, well, here we go.

It's Philem.

It's Philem up here on Philem in Nermit's home world.

Yes, but

Cleck.

I can see his parents' gated community right over there.

Right on the other side of this cemetery.

Indeed, Cleck, he is on Philem

forevermore.

You don't mean at your feet.

No.

Young Dexter.

No.

No, it.

Look down, Cleck Dexter.

I can't.

I can't.

God.

Does this look safe to you, Bleck?

Is this a member of your crew that has found happiness and fulfillment without you?

No.

Nermit Sylvester Bundeloy.

Born 21 BFA, died 1AFA.

Beloved son, brother, and mom.

Decommitted missions operations manager of these console.

Nermit?

Over here, darling, it's uh I believe it's this way.

Oh, yes, you know, I always forget which one it is.

Yes, here we are.

Well, what can we say?

It's Ex Mars Eve, and it is now our ritual to visit our dead son.

So tragic, Nermit, from what you told us you were so close to that promotion.

He was a prisoner on the delegator on Death Row.

Of course.

I wasn't there to save him with DARP.

Lucky if he got that reprieve from the Council and was able to return home here to Phlegm.

Where, of course, he was attacked by a tornado.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

But that didn't kill him.

No, no.

No, no, no.

That dinner later that night, where he choked on a GURP.

Oh.

The GURP was so big and his mouth was so small.

But that didn't kill him either.

Didn't kill him, no, no, just inconvenient.

Yes.

But the thing that did him, eventually

his music.

His music.

What?

Crushed by that faulty keyboard stance.

If only one person was there.

If only one person had attended that concerted the keyboard off.

Oh no.

He still played the concert, though.

That's the

saddest part.

As the life bled from him, he continued to play.

It's a shame.

It's a shame.

Anyway.

Anyway, back to the house, mother.

back.

Ta-ta, Nermit.

Goodbye, son.

Dermot.

Well, now, Plectexeter, surely you'll want to see Justin Ballwheat,

the last member of the OG crew.

No, I don't.

I don't really want.

I don't think that's all that necessary.

Hey guys, it's Justin.

This is my Talk Talk page.

Where I do really fast videos really fast.

Okay, so

he's maybe sort of better off, it seems like.

Well, watch the video.

I live a super happy life because my parents are still together and my dad's just super boring.

I doesn't like doing anything.

Also, I've been dating this like super cute guy.

Oh wow, okay, so Justin and Zalkatron in this universe.

Anyway, hi XMARS.

Follow for a follow-up.

Remember, this week's app is sponsored by

Coltsak's Cool Saw.

I really blew the sponsor here,

I wrote a song, I want to sing it for y'all.

XMars

is a special time where you find the people you carry.

Kirando, get me out of here.

I gotta go home.

What's the matter, Pleck?

I thought this was that you wanted a world without Cleck!

Where your best friends are miserable outcasts, where Little Namit is nothing but a pile of rotting hollow bones, where Justin and Zankatron end up together?

But at least you're off the hook, right, Pleck?

Right?

We have to set things right.

Kirondo, I think I understand.

All this time, I thought I needed to master myself in order to understand my purpose.

It felt so hard,

so lonely.

But I'm not alone.

My friends make myself better, and I make them better.

Ourselves are just reflections of the relationships around us.

They're reflections of the relationships.

Yeah, that too.

Listen, it's scary to be a part of something.

It's scary to be yourself.

But everyone feels that way A little bit.

Sometimes, right?

And if we don't have each other, what are we?

Look at those funnies on my dog, Max.

I mean, yes, Justin's doing great,

but everybody else.

Everybody else is in trouble.

Kirando, listen, I want to go back.

I know what I need to do.

And maybe I won't succeed.

Maybe I'll juck it up.

But I have to try, right?

It's all I can do.

Don't try.

Like, do it.

Okay, don't try.

Don't.

Don't try.

Do.

But, okay, but I have to try in order to do it.

Well, no, no, because if you're trying, you're sort of setting yourself up to like, well, I'm not sure I'm doing this, you know.

I'm just going to try it.

I think it's semantics at a certain point, because certainly you have to try.

You have to put in effort to succeed anyway.

Okay, but if we're having a semantic argument, then just agree with me and don't try.

Just do it.

Okay, I will try until I do it.

No, Pleck.

Wow.

Alright, we're returning to your galaxy.

I'm done with this.

It's.

It's here.

My cardboard bed.

Bargy.

Pleck,

you're shouting so.

We've all had a bunch of agnec.

You're shouting so loud.

C-53.

Oh, C-53.

I've never been so happy to see a kick in my life.

Oh,

Cliky Walls.

Fleck, you just interrupted my story.

Murray X-Wars!

What?

Pleck?

What are you doing in that weird voice?

Mario X-Mars, you old Bargerian Jane!

That's fine.

He's just running around the ship.

I don't know.

Oh, he is Bargy.

I'm shattering.

This is like the Bargey Clause.

Only Papa got the legal document that now makes him Bargie instead of the space thug that gives out gifts.

This is exactly like the movie except for like some pretty key differences.

Hey Nerman.

Yeah.

Tell Blet to shut up.

Oh, Mary X-Mars, you old lizard.

Jeez, wow.

Ow.

Ow.

Guys,

I realized something.

Something wonderful.

I'm the reason you guys are happy.

What?

I mean, yeah.

Are you out of your juxtaposition?

I'm gonna strike.

It's more complicated than that.

I don't know.

I'll explain it later.

No, you will not.

Yeah, can't wait for that.

Hey, dog, can you shake Black?

Happily.

Okay, sorry, sorry.

I guess I just realized how important you all are to me.

I got carried away.

Hey, that's a much better sentiment than you.

Well, it goes both ways.

Ideally.

Just don't make it the other way.

Well, but I mean, you know, it's sort of.
