*Keeps my eyes on the last remaining camera*
It had to be the entire worlds. There's no doubt.

@Host

These helped with that function, I think. I remember he said something about the possibility there might have been no more paths, I just didn’t think that might actually be the reality…

You visited these? Did you uncover anything?

@Host

We got info-dumped by emergency recordings he left behind. It was a lot to try and remember. You mentioned that he’s “out of lives”. Were the alternate versions of him targeted and killed, or were the universes wiled out entirely?

*It displays the last image captured at its associated relay station as it was flooded with Amaranthine*

@Host

These are what Isis and I were finding on our journey here, I think.

I'm not familiar with Dynamo's technology to say one way or the other... I'd like to know.
*Each error screen is labeled with "Relay" followed by a unique identifier*

@Host

*Taps at one of the coordinates*

*On contact, a debugging screen flashes with the info "contact lost. Contaminants: Amaranthine, Prion" with different coordinates for each screen*

@Host

What do you make of this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It does look that way, but it also seems as though something else is going on.
*Motions to the error displays*

@Host

*Takes a peek to the side, and reaches over, trying to interact with them for more info*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Searches between the displays*
Exactly what I'm looking for...
*The footage, now incredible grainy, all flash to a red error screen reading "comms lost" except for one in first person, frozen in place and surrounded by prionization, being disintegrated and rebuilt countless times a second*

@Host

*Stops walking and stares*
... They got him in battle?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Continues watching in awe and responds quietly*
Perhaps.
*Aeron launches a barrage of projectile attacks, which Dynamo absorbs with one of his blades back to back in a staff formation, finally culminating in a devastating strike with the other blade—however, a shadowy hand grasps the blade that struck Aeron, and amidst visual glitches and interruptions, the Edge blade is prionized*

@Host

Is there anything here showing the end of this? Might be relevant to what happened to him.

*Watches the cameras as well, and we both observe Dynamo say something that can't be made out above the audio mixing between the feeds, and endless clones of Dynamo spawn in sequence and parallel throughout the galaxy, each poised to deliver maximum damage to Aeron when he crosses its path*

@Host

*Says nothing and keeps looking around*
This might not be anything more than combat research of some kind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Each of the screen is a different angle of an intense combat between Dynamo and Aeron with Dark Dynamo; some of the viewpoints are obscured, some are in first-person, and all of them capture a different attribute of the combat overall*
It seems that way.

@Host

*Stops and stares at a viewpoint that catches them all in the footage together*
