Meekrob: A species of energy-based lifeforms that inhabit a binary star system planet of the same name. Each Meekrob is composed of two or more singular beings making up one whole. The separate beings within the gestalt are identical and share a mind, though they also may have slightly different personalities. Meekrob are never alone – the separate halves often engage in conversation with one another, and thoughts are constantly cycled between the two minds.

Each part of the Meekrob has its own individual name that are combined to make their full given name; for instance, Insmeeth’s halves are, separately, named Ins and Meeth.

Biology: Meekrob are functionally immortal. As energy beings, they never grow old or succumb to illness. Death is extremely rare – but on the other side of the coin, Meekrob births are also. Meekrob are genderless and asexual, and though they can procreate, it typically results in the death of the parent. The halves of the Meekrob combine their energies into birthing a new life, and the energy expenditure often results in the parent Meekrob living just long enough to witness their creation before perishing.

They are made of plasma and can control their temperature, though you risk being burned or zapped if you touch one! They feel like soft gel.

The entities within a Meekrob CANNOT be split. If they are more than a few feet away for more than a few minutes, both halves will deteriorate, fall apart, and perish.

Leadership, Religion, and Life: The Meekrob are governed by The Eight, two ancient Meekrob, each made of four beings. Theirs is a peaceful society, that encourages friendly relationships with other species in the galaxy. They are very spiritual beings as a whole, believing in the energy of the universe itself as a higher power.

They gather in large numbers and “dance”, moving like jellyfish undulating through the ocean. They are very fond of music, and tend to change colors with the beat.

Abilities: They are adept shapeshifters, able to use their telekinetic powers to “read” other species and accurately assume their forms. They are also able to discharge electricity. Meekrob communicate with one another through telepathy, connected through a psuedo-hivemind; this method of communication gives them the ability to read the thoughts of most other species as well, including many lower life forms.

Insmeeth: Young, angry and violent, Insmeeth is an abberation among their more peaceful kind. They possess a sadistic side that only grew worse the more their society shunned them. They learned to brawl from visitors to the planet, and later in off-planet fight clubs – their cunning, vicious instincts, and experience fighting are all things that contributed to their survival when Meekrob fell to the Irkens.

Bad at shapeshifting, but good at making people feel terrible about themselves, most would say that Insmeeth has few redeeming qualities. But they are also intelligent and introspective, and more than willing to risk death to protect the few they care for.

The System is the celestial organization in charge of assigning wastelocks and deciding when a flusher is necessary. It consists of a group of Operators who oversee the balance of the universe. There are four Operators that all play their own part in the shaping and choosing of wastelocks.

The System is primarily ran by Operator Edgar Vargas. He is responsible for ensuring that everything in the System runs smoothly. Operator Vargas has been alive since the beginning of time and is a near immortal being. Despite being a sort of deity, he does partake in human and alien activities alike.

Side Note: The Edgar Vargas that Johnny saw and ripped to shreds was not real. It was only a hallucination that Johnny had to cope with his increasing anxiety about who he was before when he was an Experiment.

The Operators ensure that a wastelock’s memory is wiped of all details of the System before being sent to their assigned waste cell, leaving only muscle memory intact in order for them to perform their job. Sometimes, things do slip through the cracks as brains are unpredictable and very hard to fully manipulate. To offset this, the Operators do supplant the Experiments with vague false memories.

Operator Vargas takes his position very seriously, and he is constantly researching the best ways to enhance wastelocks and unlock their true potential.

Edgar ends up finding Meekrob and discovering their incredible hyper-go-on powers and life source. He conquers Meekrob before the Irkens can.

Tenn’s body and PAK are found deep in the Meekrob’s holding cells. She is brought back to life by Edgar, and he alters her DNA to possess some of the Meekrob’s life force. She becomes Experiment 710 and is the only remaining wastelock Experiment besides Johnny.

The wall monster is a corrupted version of the Mother Meekrob, the overlord, leader, and nurturer of the Meekrob. It is infused with the element of pure aggression, causing it to develop into the current form of the monster it is.

The doughboys and sickness as well as other parasites are actually corrupted Meekrob as well. Once the Mother Meekrob was corrupted, it infected the rest of the race.

Edgar harvests the Meekrob’s hyper-go-on energy life source to mutate DNA to create the ultimate wastelocks also known as Experiments. Other than Johnny (Experiment 777), none of the other original (701-706-709) experimental wastelocks survived their assignments.

Since Johnny is an Experiment, he has all the properties of a Meekrob, including but not limited to: immortality (they can die but they come back), accelerated healing, limb and organ regeneration, supernatural strength, ability to reproduce despite sex/gender, and manipulation/mind bending (such as in the way they appeared as shoes to Dib in the show).

As previously mentioned, there are four different Operators. Besides Edgar, the Operator of the Red Throne, there is The Doctor, the Operator of the White Throne, who is responsible for testing the Experiments limits to pain, injury, and death. Constantly assessing their tolerance of injury and death acts as a sort of added immunity to both. Their body becomes accustomed to non life-threatening injuries and even life-threatening injuries take a while to fully cause the Experiment to temporarily expire. Such as when Johnny shoots himself in the head and survives for a extended amount of time.

Their tests are often very taxing and invasive and go beyond the usual limits of what wastelocks can handle. They are also responsible for recalibrating Experiments that start to malfunction.

The Operator of the Blue Throne engages in combat with the Experiments, testing their ability to use different types of weapons and best take down their victims. Through a series of battle royale type tournaments, individual sessions, and simulated practice, they ensure each wastelock can kill and kill well.

The Operator of the Black Throne acts as a sort of educator, teaching Experiments about a range of topics from different types of poisons and the history behind the System and the importance of their mission. They also teach the Experiments about how to best select a victim that will prove sufficient to the Creature.

Despite what Señor Diablo said (or perhaps did not say), he is aware of its existence and purpose, but he and God both hold no jurisdiction over the System and cannot be involved in System matters. Hence why Johnny was unable to stay in Heaven or Hell.

Wastelocks are only assigned to be flushers when the balance of the universe is especially tipped in one direction or the other. It’s a last resort protocol that the Operators put in place to keep the universe from entirely being consumed by the Creature/pure aggression. They are the ones that create the back-up of the universe that Señor Diablo mentions.

Initially, the earlier waste locks were no threat to others not charged with the task of borderline reaping, but upon further evaluation, the Operators decided that the best course of action was to perform a sort of population control. They allowed the remaining weaker waste locks to completely dissolve mentally.

Although immortal for the most part, the other Experiments of the 700 line were an unpredictable bunch. Because of the introduction of foreign DNA with their own, they suffered a sort of slow (or rapid in some cases) corrosion, eventually being killed by their own powerful hyper-go-on-infused cells.

Johnny is the only one who survived, being that his DNA has reacted the most stable with the Meekrob’s life source on a molecular level. That’s not to say that he doesn’t struggle with other effects. While it is stable for the most part, it does become unbalanced at random. Part of his madness is due to that constant imbalance and realigning. (I liken this to mental illness being caused by chemical imbalances.)
