In a dramatic speech, he states how years ago he was separated from his unit and encountered Insectopia, then told Z the directions of how to get there before being dragged out by a guard. A slightly deranged veteran soldier ant sitting next to them reveals that there is in fact a better place: Insectopia. While Weaver insists that Z stop complaining about life in the colony all the time, Z voices his wishes that there was a better place. During the wrecking ball sequence Z tries to hang onto the ball but because heights make him nauseous he accidentally drops the ball and causes a major accident which temporarily delays the construction of the megatunnel.Īfter work, Z goes to the worker bar with his soldier buddy Weaver and complains that Weaver's job as a soldier is way cooler than being a worker because Weaver can go out in the world and meet new insects and kill them, but Weaver thinks Z's job is better because Z gets to spend all day with the beautiful workergirls. Then Z and Azteca are assigned with other worker ants on the wrecking ball. Much to Z's surprise and dismay, the Psychologist tells Z that he is insignificant.Īfter his meeting with the Psychologist Z returns to his worker routine as a digger in the megatunnel, which the workers have been construction for some time, trying to fit in and become 'insignificant' and meets up with his friend and fellow worker Azteca who encourages Z to continuing working for the good of the colony as a whole. He finishes by confessing that the whole system makes him feel insignificant. Z finally tells the Psychologist that he needs to believe in a better place or else he'll just curl up in a larval position and weep. He also tells the Psychologist that he had a very anxious childhood because his mother never had time for him because he was the middle child in a family of 5 million, and his father was a drone ant who flew away when Z was just a larva. One day, Z visits a psychologist ant and in an extended monologue tells him that he believes he was not cut out to be a worker and that his job is a problem because he's uncomfortable around crowds, and that he believes that there's something else better out there in the world but maybe he thinks too much. Z is considered a friendly, talkative, and pessimistic ant.
