Synopsis

Krill's crew pilots the Nayad to the Antarctic Ocean. They find Kenneally's ship lowering his own bathysphere. They fire torpedoes and the bathysphere is cut loose. Black tentacles enfold it. Krill takes an air tank and dives. As tentacles recede, Kenneally transforms into the rubbery monster Urschlime, champion of anti-life. Things looks bad, until Krill hears a voice saying, "Your name is your greatest gift." Krill summons millions of krill, the "grass of the sea". So much glowing life overwhelms the Urschlime until a torpedo blows it apart.
