Contamination scanner

The term "Contamination scanner" has not been confirmed by official sources and is merely conjecture.

A **contamination scanner** or **microbe scanner** is a piece of technology that can scan an object for contaminations in the form of microbes and bacteria, and perhaps possibly other contaminates, even non-biological ones.

## Bottle scanner

   A contamination scanner was in use in the forensic laboratory in Superintelligence Sublevel 85, below the Superintelligence Agency headquarters, to scan a Dr Lemur's beer bottle found by Agent Carmen in the anomaly "Chuck", and with which the scientist Shanananalala determined the bottle to be completely microbe-free barring environmental contamination from transport of the bottle. The scanner in Shanananalala's lab is a long white device able to hold a long object, such as a bottle, and rotate it while scanning it from below, a process accompanied by a flashing light. The scanner is contained within a a box covered by a front plate of protective glass, to keep the object free of outside contaminations but it may also serve as protection for humans against the scans, as Shanananalala forbid Carmen from touching the glass.

## Trivia

It is unknown how the scanning works, but it may be a form of photography with very strong magnification and artificial intelligence detecting and identifying contaminates. It may also instead utilize a more chemistry-based technique, such as being an advanced form of a biosensor that works on the principles of absorbance of substances and spectrophotometry, using an UV light and an extremely sensitive detector but without a need for a liquid solution to analyze.

## History

### The Rotten Dragon neon sign

The original Rotten Dragon neon sign, built on the back of the Greenport residential block was made out of an EL microcoil assembly in a polyvinyl chloride sheath from N3 Corp. It is unknown how this iconic remnant of the Third Summer of Asbestos ended up at a pavilion on the back of the Greenport block, however it is a convoluted story, involving a surprising number of eccentric billionaires and a very pursuasive (if misguided) real estate mogul. This was unknown to Chad Albrow when he set up his taco truck beneath the forgotten sign. The landmark gave his truck a competitive edge, and he eventually took over the expired trademark when he founded Rotten Dragon (not yet the sprawling franchise it is today), shifting his focus from tacos to ambiguous Asian cuisine.

Box of Ashes

**"Box of Ashes"** is a song that was written and performed by Just Regular Pirates.

In reality it is written by Ian Hubert and performed by him with Aaron Shay on banjo and harmonies. It is the song that plays during the credits of *A Single Point of Space*, the second episode of *Dynamo Dream*, and was written and produced specifically for that.

## Lyrics

Takin’ my box of ashes.
I’m taken ‘em all the way back.
To when the world was good and understood.
I’m taking my box away.
I’m taking my box of ashes.
Taken ‘em all the way back.
To when the world was good and understood.
I’m taking my box away.
I‘m takin’ my box of ashes.
I‘m takin’ them all the way back.
To when the world was good and understood.
I’m taking my box away...
I don't even see your face these days, no more.
I don't even hear your voice these days, no more.
That little house inside is far beyond repair.
You took that piece of me away, or did I borrow it from you, and wrap around you like a glove?
There’s an indent in my palm, where your heart used to be.
Doesn’t mean much to me.
Kids won’t sleep at all tonight, come on kids, settle down, settle down, settle down!
As the world around you glows with hellfire,
I do like the smell- settle down, settle down, settle down.
I’m takin’ my box of ashes.
I‘m takin’ em all the way back.
To when the world was good and understood.
I’m takin’ my box away.
Takin’ my box away.

State

"**State**" seems to refer to **parallel dimensions**. These include the Shadow States among others.

It is possible that the States are connected or somehow related to the reality strata. It is said that statistically, that anything passing through the reality strata will eventually enter one of two extremes, Tarnacus or Apex, however since Tarnacus no longer exists it is unknown if the former still holds true.

## Known States

### Exemplar State

*Main article: Exemplar State*
The core universe. This is essentially "our" universe, but so far into the future that our planet is different beyond compare except landmass shapes. The universe exist within this dimension, containing the Milky Way, the Solar System and the planet Earth. Earth there is home to humankind.

### Shadow States

*Main article: Shadow States*
It is unknown how many Shadow States there are, but three are known: Shadow State Two, Shadow State Three, Shadow State Five.

The Shadow States are home to the shadow people.

### Sibiltine State

Kar-Nivel

**Kar-Nivel** is a place seemingly located somewhere in outer space, or it is possibly its own dimension. It is made up of various huge rocks floating in outer space, connected by high-tech metal bridge megastructures to one another in a massive network, with various buildings built into the rocks and the connecting structures, and appears to be enclosed by a kind of force-field. Kar-Nivel holds the Iridian Gate Depot. The Iridian Gate Depot, and presumably the rest of the Kar-Nivel structure, has artificial gravity inside of it.

It was from Kar-Nivel that the *Eternal Gray*, docked at the Iridian Gate Depot, was transported to Shaol to fight with the Consortium fleet in the Shadow State Rebellion. Les North was present to thank the captain personally.

Since the gate depot is referred to as the Iridian gate depot, it is possible that Kar-Nivel is the remains of the planet Iridian, or that it used to be very close to the depot.

Assassin

The **assassin** was a person, possibly a robot, that tried to assassinate Mz. Sylvan. The identity of this assassin is currently unknown.

## Biography

Not much is known about the assassin. It seems that Cassy, a roomate and friend of Jo Simon, knew that the assassin's drone skulking around the air of Oldton was an assassin, or at the very least controlled by one, because when Jo noticed the flying vehicle outside the building in which they lived, Cassy called out "He's an assassin." It is curious that Cassy was able to know this, since she was lying drunk and nearly passed out on the couch next to the window, unable to look out of it properly. It is possible Cassy recognized its sound or saw a glimpse of it after all from her minimal view vantage point, or she may have some sort of sixth sense or clairvoyance power.

The only thing that is currently known about the assasssin is that they attempted to murder Mz. Sylvan of the Hustani Mining Coalition, although for what reason is unknown. It is possible that they were hired to do so, acting on their own volition or doing it for another reason that could be beneficial to them. Their assassination attempt was however thwarted when Jo Simon, who was in the vicinity of the assassin's gun drone, diverted the assassin's attention while they were having the drone aim its gun on a flying vehicle that carried Mz. Sylvan. Jo Simon luckily managed to escape unseen by the assassin.

**Shade** is the name of a large, extremely technologically advanced metropolis located on planet Earth in the dimensional plane of Exemplar State, in what appears to be a United States hundreds or thousands of years in the future. It is the last remaining city on Earth and is also referred to as **"the last city"**. The city is surrounded by a high wall, except the western side which borders an ocean. To the north, east and west is a huge wasteland referred to as the "Dustlands", which seems to be the result of some apocalyptic event, as there are whole subburbs buried under the sands of the desert, and there was once an effort to look for suvivors in the desert. The city was founded by Les North.

Space surveillance drone

The term "Space surveillance drone" has not been confirmed by official sources and is merely conjecture.

A **space surveillance drone** is a drone that is made to be able to hover and fly in outer space and observe and record things in scientific space expeditions.

At one point, Superintelligence agent Maxwell Sterling got his hands on some government-owned Sanraizu RX-78 NT drones and modified them for use in his Sybiltine mission.

## Description

It is possible that space surveillance drones can be of various shapes and sizes and makes but are likely all made out of a metallic material. The space drones that Agent Sterling utilized for his mission in Sybiltine had been spherical with a square panel of four boosters or thrusters on one side. Surveillance drones have built-in camera hardware and so require a transparent lens just a see-through material that the camera can shoot through while still having the camera itself protected from the dangers of space.

Space surveillance drones, if recording to local memory, requires some kind of memory card or storage device inside of them, which will require regular replacement or downloading and erasing to make space.

Extremes

The **extremes** are two states that are significant parts of or somehow related to something known as "the reality strata," and are called Tarnacus and Apex. Anything moving through the reality strata are statistically going to enter either Tarnacus or Apex.

Tarnacus has recently completely vanished for unknown reasons, leaving Apex as the only remaining extreme in existence.

## History

Nothing is known about the history of the two extremes prior to the disappearance of Tarnacus.

It seems implied that Tarnacus was consumed by the Sybiltine spacetime anomaly, completely eradicating it from existence. It is also possible that it vanished as part of a State deconstitution.

Freeway pirate

A **freeway pirate** is an outlaw that roams the freeways of the Dustlands and commits robbery or criminal violence by a driven vehicle on another vehicle or an area by the roads, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable goods. These acts are referred to as **freeway piracy** and is essentially a land- and land vehicle-based form of traditional piracy, which is done by boat on the sea.

One notorious gang of freeway pirates are Russboy's crew.

## References

## Trivia

* Besides traditional boat-borne piracy, freeway piracy may be likened to the crimes committed by outlaw biker gangs, as well as the train robberies that used to be committed especially by criminals in the 1800s, especially in the Wild West.
Dustlands

**Last appearance** | Series: *A Pete Episode*, episode 3 of *Dynamo Dream* (so far)

The **Dustlands** are a vast expanse of desert wastelands located in what appears to be the United States in the far future, on the planet Earth in the dimensional plane of Exemplar State, and surrounds the city of Shade to the north, east, and west. Zombies roam the Dustlands and only few people live out there. It is possible that the entirety of the planet are largely encompassed by the Dustlands, as Shade is allegedly the last city on the entire world.

Since there are many ruined buildings in the Dustlands, as well as buildings and whole suburbs buried under sand in the deserts, and used to be "survivors" in the desert, it is most likely that the Dustlands are the result of some cataclysmic event of the past.

The Dustlands also have certain industrial structures, some of which are built and utilized by the people of Shade, as well as power lines, most likely providing some places with power seeing as some people in the desert have electricity, including the submerged Hillsboro Mall.

Jackie told Jo about the deal the wild foreman had just made him and agreed to be picked up at the airport 11 PM that night.

## Biography

At some point, Jackie Simon left Oldton and Shade to work as a contractor digging up submerged subburbs in the deserts of the Dustlands.

## Trivia

* Jackie Simon's actor, Thom Morgan, has appeared on both *Dynamo* and *Dynamo Dream*. In *Dynamo*, in *Episode 6*, he plays a background vagabond.

P & R novelty

**P & R novelty** is a business at Waterworks Market of an unknown nature, although the shop's name implies it is some sort of novelty store. There is a large rectangular orange sign with the shop's logo in black letters located among many others stacked vertically on the side of the Plaz building, advertising the shop, however there is a tagline in black letters under the shop's name that reads "going out of business".
Sybiltine

Establishing shot of Sybiltine, a place in Sibiltine State, from *Episode 2: A Single Point in Space*

**Sybiltine** (/ˈsɪbəlˈtiːn/) is a location, presumably within Sibiltine State. There is a drift depot gate in Sybiltine leading to Radia.

## Trivia

* Although Sybiltine and Sibiltine State share basically identically-sounding names, they refer to separate things. Sybiltine is a location, presumably the broken-up space rocks seen in *A Single Point in Space* being its only remains at the time, while Sibiltine State is a dimensional plane or "State" which Sybiltine is located inside of.

Oldton

**Oldton**, **Old Ton** or **Oltown** is a southern neighbourhood in Shade, located in a northern part of the Sunset District, near the western coast. It houses the Waterworks Market and is the home of Josephine Simon.

Old Ton and Waterworks Market are separated from the rest of Shade by several industrial areas, causing most people who go there to do so by train. Some also travel there via the party boat *THE OX*.

## Notes

1. ↑ In *Episode 1* of *Dynamo Dream*, "*Salad Mug*", during the train sequence near the end of the episode, as Jo Simon walks into the bathroom on board the train, a computer screen on the wall to the right of her shows that she is riding the South Coast Line of the Shade Metro. Prior to the release of *Salad Mug*, Ian Hubert had revealed on January 26, 2016, on his personal Tumblr profile, the initial concept of the map of the Shade Metro lines, designed by Paul Spooner. Spooner had written a program to generate the various stop names, by creating variatons on real place names. The names shown on the screen in the train Jo is taking are almost identical to some of the stops on the South Coast Line on the concept art map, but with some variation, such as fixing awkwardly written names that lack certain vowels. The map places Oldton in the southernmost region of Shade.

The map is also very similar to the Shade Metro map displayed at the Rockbeach stop Axle Rubix arrives at when riding one of the metro's trains in *Episode 6* of the main *Dynamo* series, further solidifying the map as being close-to-canon.
Iridian

**Iridian** was the name of a now lost planet. The warship known as the *Eternal Gray* and its crew originates from this world. It is unknown where the planet was or what caused its destruction. In addition, it is unknown why people of Iridian resemble humans.

## Trivia

* Apart from the fact that the *Eternal Gray* originates from Iridian, nothing is known of the planet's history or inhabitants.
* It has been confirmed that Iridian is no more. Whether it was destroyed or simply vanished is unknown.
* The people of Iridian are seemingly humanoids that are indistinguishable from Earth humans, *Homo sapiens*. Like them, they also require drinking water in order to survive. It is unknown if these people are in fact true humans, possibly the descendants of Earth humans who colonised the planet at some point, or if they are humanoid by coincidence and convergent evolution, or if the two peoples have a common ancestor. It is also possible that the human-like people of Iridian and their planet resided in a separate dimension than the one that contains the Earth and that their planet and their people are their dimension's alternate equivalent of Earth. It is also possible that Earth humans descended from Iridians.

Currency

**Currency** is an ambiguous concept in the *Dynamo* series, both in *Dynamo* and *Dynamo Dream*. Certain posters and texts throughout the series refer to them as dollars and bucks, but have various takes on this as well, with slightly different names, such as \*\*\* dollars. In the Shadow States, they utilise a currency referred to as SUD, though it is unknown what it stands for. It is possible that the S stands for "Shadow."
Les North

**Les North** is the founder of the city of Shade, and the creator of the mysterious "Cure". He has similar powers to those of Axle Rubix, whom he used to be best friends with. He seems to be implied to be sinister in some way, as he tried to kill Rubix once by blowing up Rubix' old cabin, now the Axle Rubix Museum, and he seems to have manipulated the Eternal Gray Cyborg Captain into fighting in the Shadow State Rebellion war. In fact, as soon as he had sent the cyborg captain on his way with an inspirational pep talk and laughs, his laugh vanished, his face became like stone and he seemed to almost frown. Also, in *Episode 3*, Rubix is pretending his hand is a gun and shooting Shade Tower with it, while at the end of *Episode 5*, Rubix is seen from the back watching Shade Tower after which it cuts to Les North watching the city from the a window in the tower in much the same manner. When Rubix came to his old cabin, Les North spoke to him via Robo Rubix, a robotic replica of Rubix (using Rubix' own voice) and claimed that he understood why Rubix was mad at him, however he had had good reasons for what he did, although we don't know what these actions were. After that, he blew up the cabin remotely.

## Abilities

Les has powers similar to those of Axle Rubix, allowing him to teleport from one place to another. When using this power, his body will glow light blue and become translucent, emit a bright light blue flash of light and dematerialize, leaving behind light blue strands in the air resembling bolts of electricty, which break up into particles and fade away. Materializing, his body will appear out of nowhere, translucent, largely formless and glowing light blue, as a light blue flash is emitted and bolts of electricity surround his body. Gradually, but quickly, his body takes its regular shape and become solid, and the "electrical bolts" will dissipate into particles like when dematerializing.

## Appearances

Phone missile

The **phone missile** is a large white missile with a video recording functionality and speakers, which can be fired and sent anywhere and transmit and video and audio from wherever it lands. Typically, it will land in the ground somewhere, burrowing into it, allowing whoever is on the other end to hear someone else who is talking from the location the missile was fired from, while the person there will both hear and be able to view the person at the missile impact site through a video and audio link. This method may be used to make a long distance phone call if phone lines are down, however it is most likely a rare method as it is dangerous and most likely expensive.
Snail

A **snail** is a shelled gastropod animal. The term is most often applied to land snails, also known as terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs, however the common name snail is also used for most other members of the molluscan class *Gastropoda* that have a coiled shell large enough for animal to retract completely into. When the name is used in this most general sense, not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails are included.

Snails are of the kingdom *Animalia*, the phylum *Mollusca* and the class of *Gastropoda*.

Snails have considerable human culture relevance, including as food items, as pets, as vectors of disease, their shells are used as decorative items and incorporated into jewellery and the term "snail" itself has been used in multiple different cultures' idioms, sayings and figures of speech. Snails have also been used recreationally as a form of drug, at least in Shade, referred to as "doing snails."

Snails have considerable human relevance, including as food items, as pests, and as vectors of disease, and their shells are used as decorative objects and are incorporated into jewelry.[1] The snail has also had some cultural significance, tending to be associated with lethargy. The snail has also been used as a figure of speech in reference to slow-moving things. The snail is the same or similar shape as the cochlea.[2]

Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs.

The best known and most common type of snail is the *Helix pomatia*, which is the kind of snail utilized when "doing snails."
Pterodactyl Kenny

**Kenny** or **Pterodactyl Kenny**, also known as **The King of The Mall** (mistakenly believed to be "**The King of Them All**" by several people), is the father of Pterodactyl Vanessa and the original owner of Pete's guitar. He used to reside with his daughter in a mall buried under the sands of the Dustlands until he fought Pete and was killed by him. Before living in the mall, Kenny was a member of the notorious freeway pirate Russboy's crew until he double-crossed Russboy.

For reasons unknown, Kenny, as well as his daughter, constantly wear a black pterodactyl mask.

Kenny's body is played by Ian Hubert while Sam Gorski, fame of Corridor Digital and YouTube shows like *VFX Artists React*, voices him in *Dynamo Dream*.

## Trivia

* The design of Pterodactyl Kenny and Pterodactyl Vanessa's masks is a reference to the humanoid vulture-like bird species called the Skeksis from the 1982 Jim Henson-directed fantasy puppet film *The Dark Crystal* and its prequel TV series. Kenny's habit of going "Hmmm" is specifically a reference to the Skeksis character of "the Chamberlain", also called skekSil.

Hill House 12 cassette tape

**In possession of** | Shanananalala

The **Hill House 12** cassette tape was a cassette tape found and retrieved by a Superintelligence Agency drone while out to investigate the anomaly Chuck with Carmen. The contents of the cassette tape is currently unknown. It is currently possessed by Superintelligence forensic technician Shanananalala.

## History

### *Episode 6*

   When Superintelligence Agent 2444, Carmen, was out to investigate the anomaly Chuck outside of Shade General William B. Fender's orders, her floating drone found the "Hill House 12" cassette tape lying on the ground below Chuck and retrieved it for her. The words "Hill House 12" were written on it with a black marker. Once back in Shade, Carmen went to the Superintelligence forensic technician Shanananalala at Superintelligence Sublevel 85 to have a bottle of Dr Lemur's found at Chuck examined by her, Shanananalala discovered the cassette tape, but when the scientist asked Carmen what it was, she simply shrugged, as she didn't know, and left to be cleaned in the deconbox.
Timeline

The dating system in DYNAMO is not clear. There are several acronyms as well as years mentioned, but it is unknown what the acronyms means or what the different years mean in relation to one another. It does not seem like a fully chronological system is in use.

* Year 78 - Rotten Dragon is founded by Chad Albrow
* Year 82P.S. - The song Chickadee by DJ WobbleBird is reconstructed.
* Year 187 - Dr. Lemur's begins to brew its namesake beer.
* Year 201 - The 11th edition of *St. Dremel's Friggin' Dictionary for Voracious Readers* is published.
* Year 228 - *The Rotten Dragon*, a film produced by the Rotten Dragon restaurant chain, is announced. To be released in Spring of 232.
* Year 32,185 T.S. - The Shadow State Drift Depot was shut.
* Year 32,195 T.S. - 10 years after the Shadow State Depot was shut, it was reopened, bringing the Shadow State Rebellion war with it to Shade.
* 32,399 years after the end of the Shadow State Rebellion, Axle Rubix is back in Exemplar State. This might be considered the year 64594 T.S..
HyperBole

The **HyperBole** is a high speed racing and ball sport played in Shade. It involves several players riding flying massive jet engines through the air over a long track, racing each other while trying to catch a floating ball, called the Hyperball, which can simultaneously attack the players, all while the players are also permitted to use projectile weapons on each other's engine in order to win. It is like a mix between American football and NASCAR. "HyperBole" is a play on "the SuperBowl" and other big sporting events utilising the word "bowl" in their name.

One of the taglines of the HyperBole is "The Hyperball hates you."
Light-up screwdriver

This **light-up screwdriver** is a simple electric screwdriver that has a blue lamp that lights up whenever the rotating nib is activated.

Superintelligence Agent Maxwell Sterling had one of these screwdrivers with him on the *Phaeton Nine* on his scientific expedition to observe and collect data on a peculiar spacetime anomaly.

## History

During his mission to observe and collect data on a potentially appearing black hole-like spacetime anomaly in Sybiltine, Agent Sterling had a light-up screwdriver in his ship, the *Phaeton Nine*, which he used to open and seal space surveillance drones to retrieve and replace their Tekmini Data memory cards. On day 68 of his expedition, he did this to one drone. He didn't have time to send the drone back out, however, as the anomaly appeared shortly after and he had to escape it.

## Description

The light-up screwdriver is a simple metal screwdriver with a electric rotating screw-bit. The metal shell around the interior hardware is gunmetal gray in color. Along most of the metal shell is a black rubber grip for the hands to hold on to. The screwdriver has a small button near the end where the screw-bit is located which, when pressed down, activates the rotating screw-bit, allowing the screwdriver to unscrew or screw on screws. Whenever the button is pressed and the screw-bit is active, a blue lamp located behind the screw-bit will shine its light out, presumably meant to make it easier to see what one is screwing and to better indicatew when it is active to avoid injuries.

The light-up screwdriver has a single yellow decal on it that says "03" in black characters with a small red line above the numbers.

## Trivia

* The light-up screwdriver prop was designed and produced by Lux Taylor. It is a rechargable electric pen screwdriver that lights up when active that he already owned, which he covered in a 3D-printed outer shell. Both the metal and rubber-resembling parts is one whole shell, made out of 3D-printed plastic and then painted. A single "03" decal was then added to it at the end.
