==== History machine and departure ==== | ==== History machine and departure ==== | ||
Aware that Benny was destined to fall through a [[time portal]] and become instrumental in the creation of the [[Deindum]], Braxiatel planned to turn them into less aggressive creatures by altering the genetic material that they would be based on. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Resurrecting the Past (audio story)|Resurrecting the Past]]'') To this end, he invited [[Doggles]] to the Collection with his [[history machine]], which activated ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Inappropriate Laughter (short story)|Inappropriate Laughter]]'') and created multiple [[timeline]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Siege Mentality (short story)|Siege Mentality]]'', etc.) Braxiatel shifted through the realities trying to find a way to stop the fracture, trying to convince his alternative selves to detonate [[reality bomb]]s to slow the phenomenon. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Man (short story)|Family Man]]'') | |||
One Braxiatel created a reality bomb which Benny kept him from detonating. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Siege Mentality (short story)|Siege Mentality]]'') Another learnt from [[Wolsey]] that either Braxiatel or Doggles had to die, leading him to attempt to kill Doggles and [[hypnosis|hypnotise]] Adrian into killing Bev, later killing Jason and Wolsey. Unbeknownst to this Braxiatel, Wolsey's plan was to get Benny to realise what he was really like. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dead Mice (short story)|Dead Mice]]'') | |||
A third Braxiatel was more interested in his [[mirror]] than with Peter's illness ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acts of Senseless Devotion (short story)|Acts of Senseless Devotion]]'') and another, in a world in which Benny died, fixated on a feud with the [[Ice Warrior|Martians]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Night of the Living Martian (short story)|Night of the Living Martian]]'') Other Braxiatels tried to use a world-destroying statue, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Showing Initiative (short story)|Showing Initiative]]'') identified Benny as Doggles' murderer ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Murderous Desire (short story)|A Murderous Desire]]'') and met an older version of himself who tried to convince him to build a bomb. However, Benny shot and killed the elder, after which the younger hypnotised her into forgetting. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[One of My Turns (short story)|One of My Turns]]'') In another world, a Braxiatel built and installed a reality bomb into the Collection's power generators ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ice Garden (short story)|The Ice Garden]]'') | |||
In another world, Braxiatel met a human version of himself who had two children and told him to destroy his world. Irving eventually did so, after which Braxiatel realised at Benny and Doggles' wedding that the latter's [[death]] would resolve the situation as he had Axis technology inside him which drove him to create the machine. He cut off Doggles' head, severing the link between the history machine and Braxiatel's TARDIS which was close to ending the universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Man (short story)|Family Man]]'') In the restored world, only Braxiatel could remember that, before the debacle, Hass was an Ice Warrior and not a [[Yesodi]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[After Life (short story)|After Life]]'') | |||
Aware that [[Ronan McGinley|Ronan]] was dying, Braxiatel manipulated Jason into going to [[Cantus]] with him, not telling him that he planned for Jason to replace Ronan as Cyber-Leader. However, Benny stowed away on board their ship, something that Braxiatel dealt with by ensuring that she felt the need to return to Peter. Braxiatel made Jason the Cyber-Leader when Ronan died, his last words warning him that [[Pandora]] was still in his mind, but Benny saved him and they returned to the Collection together where Jason, his memories returned, threatened Braxiatel into leaving. He departed in his TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|The Crystal of Cantus]]'') | |||
==== Draconian-Mim War ==== | |||
Braxiatel's absence (and activities after leaving) led to the [[Draconian]] Empire claiming a territorial right to the Collection, as well as getting into a war with the [[Mim]]. Bernice Summerfield eventually tracked down Braxiatel to return him to the Collection to handle the situation. He had travelled back in time and found an ascetic to transform him into an amber-coloured crystal, known as the Stone of Barter, in which form he remained for around 3000 years. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Empire State (audio story)|The Empire State]]'') Taking the [[Gravity Rainbow]] back to the Collection as part of the cargo. He did this in order to avoid Benny, as he didn't want to live up to the stuff he had done to her and Jason. He also hid in the box in order to avoid the monsters in the light. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Tub Full of Cats (audio story)|The Tub Full of Cats]]'') When he arrived he was determined to fix his TARDIS then leave, but he was roped into finding some way to remove the gauntlet that Bev had on her hand. This meant he had no time to sort out the defences to the Collection allowing the Draconians to invade. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Judas Gift (audio story)|The Judas Gift]]'') He proved successful in stopping the war, though he stopped the war in secret by convincing Collection [[gardener]] [[Hass]] to kill the entire Mimsphere, framing the Draconians for it.
