## The KrayLabs Dynamo Project

Currently there is 17 iterations / prototypes. They are scattered around, either in the Overworld or Krayplane. The higher levels of prototypes, the higher technicals and complexity they have (usually more powerful too). Dynamo-Slinger is the 15th iteration, a floating artillery system that fires energy based projectiles. They are less skill and power based, but more movement augmenting tech.

The general aesthetic qualities of the project and its dynamos are minimal, mystical, and efficient. A dynamo is shaped like an octahedron, and is typically jet black with glowing accents ranging in purple hue from indigo to magenta. The length of a standard dynamo spans approximately as long as a human forearm. Dynamo may be commanded by a dynamo operator or may act autonomously of their operator . A operator commands anywhere from 4 to 8,000,000,000 dynamo, with a median dynamo count of 8. Dynamo capabilities range drastically across make and model, but usually serve as a multitool that can accomplish a variety of tasks. The standard dynamo is capable of levitation, environmental adaptation, and basic light manipulation in the form of shooting lasers.

Dynamos often build upon the innovations of the previous prototypes. There are two classifications of dynamos in general, conventional and transcendent. Conventional dynamos build upon physical abilities and functions, while transcendent dynamos have otherworldly, reality-shaking, and existence-warping qualities.

The prototype numbers are set when the project began, not necessarily when they finished. For example, after the completion of p15:Aggregator, KrayLabs began development of p16:Hypernetwork. A little time later, p17:DYNAMOSLINGER was initiated and finished much sooner than the completion of p16:HYPERNETWORK.

## p0 - prototype:Premonition

The very first dynamo. It is a pre-prototype of sorts. It pioneers the ability to stay in the air indefinitely.

There are plans scatted about, dealing with the basic fundamentals on how to keep an object airborne indefinitely (in theory). The papers seem to indicate some sort of balloon like structure, and ideations on how to affix various mechanical and electrical components. Some of which feature panels that harvest light to power the various computational units.

## p1 - prototype:Prototype

> *"Kraylabs dynamo performance benchmark, but the entire benchmark is based on how fast they can make a dynamo rotate."*
>
>

The Prototype is a single levitating spear-shaped dynamo. It is the first true application of prior concepts.

The operator is able to manipulate the position of the spear at will, allowing the user to puncture opponents detectable by The Prototype. The Prototype also grants the operator prodigal-level ESP, allowing them to sense opponents from excessively far distances. As of XX/XX/XXXX, The Prototype was declared decommissioned.

## p2 - prototype:Sommer

The Sommer project was the first Kraylabs dynamo prototype on record. Sommer developed dynamo abilities which latter ones build on, namely levitation and light control.

Little is known about the origins of the dynamo of the Summer project, though it is indicated that the skills of Sommer is subpar when compared to the total capabilities of Kraylabs known today. Sommer consists of 8 dynamo, all of which are capable of acting autonomously to dispatch threats when the operator is threatened. Sommer dynamo capabilities involve levitation and channeling lasers within a 10 meter radius. There appears to a be symbiosis between Sommer and the operative, where the dynamo are capable of channeling extra vitality to the user, bolstering the user's physical capabilities significantly.

## p3 - prototype:Paranoia

It is shaped like the top half of an hourglass. Along with Prototype:Longing, it is able to create an hourglass.

Also codenamed: Diabolic Esper. Not much is generally known about the Diabolic Esper, however, fragments of it is interestingly found in the Watcher Faction Base Alpha. It and the base seem to not be from this world, and it exhibits some sort of distress due to displacement and distortion of time and space.

## p4 - prototype:Longing

It is shaped like the bottom half of an hourglass. Along with Prototype:Paranoia, it is able to create an hourglass.

Codenamed: Mad Paradox. Regarded as the "Demon of Paradox", Longing is composed of the remains of Paranoia, disintegrated and melded into the essence of time and space. Despite remarkable capabilities, Longing appears to be in a constant state of distress from the side effects of its own temporal tampering. There is no known way to undo what Longing has done, it is permanently fused with time and space of Krayplane - and to the fabric of Clustersketch itself..

It is speculated that Watcher Kraymen accidentally "smeared" it from a Kraymen from another world, which is what partially created Krayplane. However, a time inconsistency was created, which is why Diabolic Esper and Watcher Faction Base Alpha exist prior to the creation of the Watchers.

> *"Longing is a desire for what once was. What better way to relive the past, than to bring it to the present"* - Kraymen. A note found in Kraymen's room in the Watcher Faction Base Alpha. Interestingly, the handwriting is different than Watcher Kraymen you know.

If Longing was able to be used, it would be suspended high in the sky, where a Brocken Spectre would be able to be observed.

## p6 - prototype:Grace

### Grace

An array of dynamos shaped like syringes. Originally wielded by Sera Florence of Esper Team 1, who was known for her kindness. While other dynamos are similar to weapons of mass destruction, this one is closer to a weapon of violent healing.

> *"For the grace and the might..."*

### Serene Grace

Somehow, Scientist was able to get the fallen esper's dynamo to work for her, even though she herself was not an esper.

> *"A reference to a job that isn't even known yet..."*

## p7 - prototype:Abacus

> *"Abacus is stack based for execution. In abacus you can only add scripts to the beginning or end and each script is binary- on and off. So if you add a page on the end and you're in the middle, you skip all the pages between then, but you still have to "flip" through them. You can't just instantly skip all of them, so there's a bit of a delay*
> *We're still figuring out how to store all this data, so what better way than to have the external of the dynamo light up/darken based on the code. The code is stored on binary light cells on the surface of abacus."* - Notes

## p8 - prototype:Universal Solvent

The first prototype dealing with an absurdly large amount of dynamos.

It consists of 1 million dynamos, however, they are all microscopic. Universal Solvent was the first test on how feasibly small dynamos could become, and its ability to execute tasks at an incredibly small level.

A classified document on a desk references it (Classified Laboratory Document: Universal Solvent (Codename: Project Aurora))

## p9 - prototype:Delta

> *“The artifacts were a trinity of machines built to tear through the dimensional fabric and collide two universes together. It achieved this by piling copious amounts of energy into an infinitely dense point until the universe couldn’t hold it in and exploded - or more like imploded into another universe.”* - Lou, Cryptographos Abystracta
>
>

It is a satellite shaped and sized dynamo. While Delta doesn't actually do anything by itself, it is able to communicate and combine with both Endtimes Engine and Eternities Engine to cause celestial and reality shattering damage.

It also functions as a power source that allows the Endtimes and Eternities Engines to be overclocked.

## p10 - prototype:Endtimes Engine

Physically similar to Eternities Engine in size and shape. It is the size of a small capsule toy. It is shiny and fully made of metal.

It is able to bring out and simulate 50 Environments, turning the area around the user into the "aesthetic" of their choice. These Environments were pioneered and researched by the NERVE Department of Kraylabs.

## p11 - prototype:Eternities Engine

Physically similar to Endtimes Engine in size and shape. It is the size of a small capsule toy. It is matte and fully made of polyethylene.

It is able to bring out and simulate 50 Environments, turning the area around the user into the "aesthetic" of their choice. These Environments were pioneered and researched by the NERVE Department of Kraylabs.

## p12 - prototype:SKYDEATH

The SKYDEATH dynamo is a single dynamo. It is immensely large. In fact, it itself is a command center that was once part of the ground in Krayplane, but now is part of this suspended dynamo. The SKYDEATH dynamo is a with a wingspan of 727 meters. It's length is approximately 3,301 meters long. Attached to this dynamo is a fully functional replica of the Schwerer Gustav. The SKYDEATH specimen has been modified to be able to rotate, position, and fire the Schwerer Gustav as if it were an additional limb.

It appears that some sort of winged dragon with a will controls the SKYDEATH. However, it cannot be perceived, and its movement of the SKYDEATH ceases when directly observing the SKYDEATH.

> *"While the specimen technically does have a will of its own, the specimen's will is effectively suppressed and overwritten by various Kraylabs nanomachines designed to interfere with and intercept neurotransmitters.*
> *Director's Note: "God save us all if the entire command center decides take a day off."* - Odd documentation at Kraylabs
>

A transcript of communication is also found at a Kraylab Site, referring to SKYDEATH:

> A: *"Enemy position found, they are located on the hill."*
>
>
> B: *"Good. Delete it."*
>
>
> A: *"The enemy?"*
>
>
> B: *"No. The Hill."*
>
>
>
> A: *"Copy."*
>

For reasons unknown, it is speculated that the technology that fuels the Ziz and allows it to be airborne was derived from SKYDEATH.

## p13 - prototype:Symphony Of The Night The End Of All Things On Land The Sun The Moon The Stars (SNEATLSMS)

Building upon what Universal Solvent began, this dynamo cluster pushes the feasible quantitative range for a single system.

It is entirely unknown what and where this prototype is, only references of it exist scatted around. P13 is scattered around Krayplane and the Overworld. 8 billion of them to be exact. It would take the lifespan and ability of a dragon to collect them all. It could be said that anyone with that capability has "**The Dragon's Force**". The Apex Grey Drive developed by Watcher Apex acts as the fulcrum to control the massive array. Interestingly, it seems to have been intentionally programmed during its inception to literally not work unless all 8 billion are active.

Another feature of p13 is its ability to turn entire areas into fields of pure light. By commanding individual dynamos to circle a perimeter of an area, they can project pure laser to each other, creating "**The Aether Realm**". This would result in the searing and absolute melting of anything that touches the field.

It is speculated that the Raimon created the Grazemen Faction as a way to fulfill her true purpose, to control the 8-billion array.

## p14 - prototype:4HΦG3

A dynamo mainly focused on data. It's physical form somewhat contrasts the typical dynamo aesthetic. It is a small, yellow, triangular dynamo that floats above the controller's head. It displays data such as speed and predicted movement to the user

> *"i somehow managed to build like. a weird time machine that can predict where the controller has been and where they're gonna be? because it's all deterministic to some extent. i tried explaining this to a kraylabs test subject earlier. it's fucking. incomprehensible."*
>

## p15 - prototype:ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ (The Battle Seraph)

ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ consists of 48 eye-shaped dynamo. The dynamo user has a default wingspan of 20 meters. Through various ritualistic practices performed by the staff of Kraylabs, the user may use the First Seraph as if it were a pair of wings (Should Kraylabs employees ever fail to perform these practices, the first seraph will no longer be effected by the restraints in place).

ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ has two primary modes: Seraph [default] and Seraph [manual].

In [default] mode, ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ is capable of flight. The dynamo assume the form of 3 rings and rotate in different directions around the user. Each individual dynamo is capable of channeling a small energy beam. In this mode, ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ is capable of channeling all 48 energy beams in a singular direction, creating a giant, cleansing beam of *"Pure, Total, Unadulterated Grace"*.

Every dynamo on ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ is capable of autonomous decision-making. This is utilized in [manual] mode, when each individual dynamo splits off from the main Seraph to perform separate tasks. In this mode, the Seraph loses flight and the user's wings shrink in size by a scale of magnitude. Since the ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ user does not have to be an Esper and may not have ESP, the ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ core dynamo instead pairs with the First Seraph, which is bound by ritualistic practice to the operative.

> *"The Battle Seraph represents the will of humanity after first contact. We never received a 'be not afraid'. Our fear was irrelevant, and we quickly came to realize how astronomical that irrelevancy was. Even so, there was no definite crumbling, no definite downfall of humanity, no definite succumbing to the soul-crushing despair(though it was definitely there), just acceptance. And past that acceptance? Determination, courage, and maybe even a little morbid curiosity."*
> - A note on the Director's referring to the ᛋᛖᚱᚨᛈᚺᛁᛗ

Similar to True God, True Blasphemy.

## p18 - prototype:DYNAMOSLINGER

DYNAMOSLINGER is the result of Kraylabs' research into mass-production dynamo user combat units. Only one DYNAMOSLINGER was ever produced, and a user is seen in the Overworld with it. DYNAMOSLINGER commands 6 dynamo with enhanced levitation abilities capable of producing enough force to launch the user in any direction at velocities exceeding 100mph. The DYNAMOSLINGER user gains the ability to withstand such force. While DYNAMOSLINGER dynamo possess the capability to channel lasers, these dynamo also serve as firearm holsters. Recontainment efforts are ongoing.

> *Director's Note: "WHO THE EVER-LOVING-FUCK DECIDED TO USE A PRISONER AS THE INITIAL TEST SUBJECT?!!?"*
>
>

Andrea through some displaced-timeline dreams, has knowledge of some specifications on creating DYNAMOSLINGER. Through some tests, she was able to create a lesser version, which was seized when Watcher Abyss kidnaps her. After the Shift, weaker DYNAMOSLINGERs exist, which eventually proliferate into hundreds of variations and alterations to augment powers that everyone has obtained.

The prisoner was selected through an ARG-eske puzzle, in attempt to find the most intelligent and qualified for it. This series of problems were called "*Primate 0617"*

## p19 - prototype:Neven

> *"Hopy fucking shit Neven is going to take over the world" -* Watcher Kraymen

## p21 - prototype:Sanctum

> *"...at the time of discovery, the guardian angel makes the entirety of humanity's arsenal look like a fucking joke. It's like if you took every fuckin aircraft carrier and lined it up against an unknown enemy, only to discover that your enemy was the entire fucking ocean..."*
>
>

Sanctum was created by fusing the reclaimed corpse of Sera, prototype:Grace, and the corpse of the guardian angel.
Its main function is that it prevents humanity from immediately being purged from the universe.

> *"...at some point, kraylabs actually discovered that deep within the abyss, humanity actually does have a guardian angel that prevents humanity from immediately going fucking extinct against the cold indifference of the cosmos. So we murdered it. And we made a dynamo out of it."*
>

## p22 - prototype:Grimore

Unsure how, but through some sort of temporal time rift (or one of the Kraymen line), [[Watcher Zenith]] is in possession of it.

> *"Dynamo entry documents are canonically literally dynamo... so they would inherit some dynamo properties... a 'grimoire' style document is*
> *just a massive dynamo entry document..."*

## p23 - prototype:Diaconia

Diaconia was the project in Kraylabs that focused on recreating individuals and their personalities through their gestalt.

## p24 - prototype:Story Unending

Dynamo: Story Unending is the legacy of Watcher Zenith + Dynamo:Diaconia
