## History

### Gravity Star Campaign

Dewey, much like his cohorts, were summoned to Garrison Space Center by General Stone on one of his off-days to help prevent the rumored assassination attempt on the mayor of the neighboring town of Beaumont. He participated in the gunfight against the Skullhearts, but did not do much of note in that particular battle.

When the Harvester crashed, Dewey armored up into PEPSI'S MACHINATION MAN©️, ready to fight whatever enemy forces came his way. He was the one to plant Gary inside one of the Crushers by punching it, doing so multiple times, and also obliterated the final Crusher with a corrosive blast of Pepsi.

Inside the Harvester, Dewey and Gary went to the reactor room, and Dewey seemed to ignore Moto's warning about how unstable the Harvester's reactor was, as he decided the best course of action to take to sneakily get Gary into the reactor to dismantle it was to launch him with a shook-up Pepsi bottle, filled with Pepsi, that is mostly made up of water. Miraculously, this worked, and Gary was able to disable the reactor.

Dewey participated in both stealth assaults on the cockpit crew and reactor crew of the Harvester.

After the team exited the Harvester, Dewey witnessed Moto telling of the mostly-encrypted history of Martyros, as well as witnessing Octus' warning. He did not do much to help Moto ask out Zola, but did witness the date.

When 086 started spreading rumors about Dewey's "jellybean incident", he vehemently denied such an event occurring.

When the team accepted Moto's quick task of collecting gear from the Harvester's crash site, Dewey collected a majority of the gear using PEPSI'S MACHINATION MAN©️.

On the way to Metran, Dewey hit a critical strike on one of the enemy Launchers with one of PEPSI'S MACHINATION MAN©️'s many bottles. Dewey was among the ones asking around for Percival Mason's whereabouts, but not without forgetting the mission's target prior. After he and the team gave chase, he witnessed their target, his true identity revealed as Albus Scorone, getting captured by the Searcher, giving chase after him. He was one of many that witnessed the deaths of Muno and Aldrich, as well as assembling the army to fight the Searcher head-on with the help of COSMO. Most notably during the fight, Dewey gave the team's new friends a single Pepsi can to share before being hit by a near-lethal blow from a Crusher. After the Searcher was defeated and Greedo shot the Searcher's mech, him not knowing the fight was over, Dewey used PEPSI'S MACHINATION MAN©️ to step on him out of anger.

Dewey went with the team to Omnibius in search of Plated Pete, but did not do much on the journey.

On Granaera, Dewey partook in the feast, and upon the team finishing off the Paralyzer, Dewey put a Pepsi sticker and drew Dickbutt on the Titan.

Dewey was disappointed when Gary ate the moth Moe attracted. Dewey caught two sparkflies with the net, one for the lantern, and the other to keep as a pet.

Dewey called the Puppetmaster a bitch, before turning one of the Penumbrian Demons to ash. He collected some of the rotors to send them to Moto for analysis.

Before traveling to Varuna, Dewey went with Moe to the cafeteria to get spaghetti. Dewey put Pepsi on his spaghetti instead of spaghetti sauce, which he liked for some unknown reason. On Varuna, Dewey witnessed Moe and 086's shenanigans at the concessions stand before witnessing Zola's call about his suicide mission and his heartfelt departure.

During the tournament proper, Dewey did not do much in battle, but held the team's ground during the round against the Queen's Guard, witnessed the broadcast about Zola's supposed death, and watched Gary seduce the King Crab and Marin. Dewey witnessed Octus' message about the Annihilator, and when the team went back to Earth, he aided 086 in taking down the Annihilator's WMD's. Dewey did not accompany 086 and Moe to Metran to help the Sparkplug Police Department.

Dewey went to Tynkeria with the team to fight the Siren, but did not do much of note there. When the team returned to Shadowcast to help them rebuild, Dewey was able to intimidate a tree into falling down.

On Sequoia, Dewey did not do too terribly much of note, other than offering Sister Elina a Pepsi can and asking to read her holy book shortly after she forced Moe and 086 to take copies. When they returned to the church after swaying Sister Dierdre back onto the side of good, Dewey knocked out Sister Andrea mid-complaint, drawing a monocle on her unconscious face.

Dewey went with the team to Vulcan to get his mech upgraded for the final time before facing Octus. He assisted in clearing a path through the new Martyrian settlements on Boreo, as well as ambushing the Enforcers guarding Octus' spire. Dewey assisted in the fight against Octus and his Centurion. When the team got to choose Octus' fate after his surrender, Dewey shoved one of the prayer seeds given to him by Sister Elina down his throat, causing Octus to convulse violently before he was torn to pieces by the tree that grew out of him. Dewey likely would have done this again after Gary resurrected Octus, were it not for 086 mercy-killing him. After Octus died for good, Dewey claimed his scepter as his own.

Dewey went with the team into the realm of the Exalted to defeat them for good, and inadvertently discovered the Exalted Oculus' main weaknesses, healing energy (through use of the prayer seeds) and Pepsi. Dewey, alongside the others, were saved by Flec upon the Exalted's destruction, and after everything was said and done, him and Moe started living large in Space Pizza Hut.
