‘Okay!’
“Yo, everything all right Gohan?” Krillin inquires.
“Well… there’s definitely something down there, or rather, a group of somethings. Worms, lots of them, somehow.” you answer.
Krillin tilts his head. “...Worms?”
“Worms. Apparently ‘eating rocks’ or the like, which very likely means they might be subsisting on whatever is down there. Which is…’
“Not good.” Krillin finishes.
“Mhmm. Especially if this is more of a ‘worm that walks’ kind of situation. Might need to rethink how we approach it.” You turn your attention towards the Mothman in the tree. “Hey, Leo! You know anything about those worms in there?”

A soft yet ethereal hum seems to come from him, and you get a few psychic images rush through your head. Things vaguely resembling flatworms burrowing through the dirt, multiplying and spreading, and then… forming together, into a larger and larger shape, very vaguely humanoid. Two massive, glowing eyes form in the shape, moving in opposing directions before focusing right on you.
You shudder a little. “…So I take that as a bad thing.”
‘SPICY WORMS’
You blink. “…Right. Spicy worms, it says.”
Krillin turns to look at the Mothman. “Uh… huh. That’s a vivid way to describe such a thing, I guess-?”
The ground starts to shake. You and Krillin lift up into the air slightly and keep your senses sharp. There are… more very small Ki signatures in the area. Many, many more. Thousands. Maybe hundreds of thousands. Each one would barely register as anything more than an actual bug or even blade of grass, but… all of them moving like this makes it all the more clear that they’re very much neither of those things.
‘They don’t like soda!’ Buu exclaims, and you can sense the Majin flying fast back towards you.
The more concerning thing is… as the shaking subsides, you sense all those thousands upon thousands of Ki signatures going down deeper into the earth. They… might be headed towards a coal vein! Lapis checks in with you, asking, ‘Hey Gohan, seismic readings from MOGUERA spiked suddenly. What’s going on?’
>A. Wormsign, Lapis, wormsign the likes of which not even Kami has seen before>B. Buu, Krillin, we gotta stop them before they cause any problems with MOGUERA>C. Maybe MOGUERA can cut them off… Lapis, Chuu Lee, can you pinpoint where these things are headed? Keep looking with seismic sensors>D. Something else?
