According to [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Asher Mir]], the Pyramidion on Io is one of many; every Vex machine world has a Pyramidion, and these structures serve as the Vex's main machinoforming engines. It is also believed that all Pyramidions are intrinsically connected to each other and lead to the same interior space. On at least [[The Pyramidion|one occasion]], this interior appeared markedly different than was previously recorded, suggesting that it is either capable of reconfiguring its structure or that a Pyramidion may actually lead to one of several common spaces. | According to [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Asher Mir]], the Pyramidion on Io is one of many; every Vex machine world has a Pyramidion, and these structures serve as the Vex's main machinoforming engines.

===Asher's Accident=== | |||
{{Quote|So, what can we expect from this place?"<br>"A cascading hellscape of infinite change. My fireteam required dozens of resurrections on our expedition."<br>"And I’m sure it was uphill both ways to the lake where you lost your arm."<br>"You waste my time with a vapid joke, but, yes! Paradoxically, it was.|[[Ghost (Little Light)|Ghost]], Asher and Ikora}} | |||
Sometime after the events of ''[[The Taken King]]'', just before [[Eris Morn]]'s departure from the Tower,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/3/28)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Eris_Morn|Ghost Fragment: Eris Morn]]''</ref> Asher and his fireteam of two [[Hunter]]s set off to explore the Vex structure on Io. They quickly found themselves outmatched by the machines, dying and being resurrected time and time again until they reached a radiolarian lake located deep within. Watching his teammates being torn apart by the Vex, Asher began to scramble for a way out, when suddenly a tentacle caught his [[Ghost]] and he felt pain in his shoulder--and then he lost consciousness.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Silicon Neuroma]]''</ref> | |||
When he woke up, he found his right arm had been transformed into a Vex one - a process apparently irreversible, possibly lethal, and still advancing. Desperate to find both answers and a cure, Asher settled in [[the Rupture]] on Io to study the machines which had maimed him and fantasise of revenge he would one day have. | |||

===Pyramid over the Pyramidion=== | |||
{{Quote|If the Darkness claims the Pyramidion, it will dissect it for study. Unfold its innumerable dimensions, wade through its multitudinous seas radiozoic, peer through its crackling warp gates leading toward a million millions of new realities…|Asher Mir}} | |||
Years later, following the [[Pyramids]]' return and the landing of [[Pyramid (Io)|one such entity over Io]], Asher noticed the [[Darkness]] was most likely watching the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/asher-mir-plotting-a-downfall Exodus (Quest) - Plotting a Downfall]''</ref> After conducting studies along with his assistant the Guardian, he concluded the Darkness wished to claim and dissect the Pyramidion for study. Repulsed by this prospect, he vowed he would not let it come to pass, readying to personally defend the structure had something come out of the Pyramid and assailed it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/asher-mir-fleischman-aschheim-axiom Exodus (Quest) - Fleischman-Aschheim Axiom]''</ref> | |||
Having refused [[Zavala]]'s proposal of evacuating to [[the Last City]], Asher acted on his promise and entered the Pyramidion once more. He traversed it, wrecking havoc to all Vex he encountered along the way, until they stopped attacking him and retreated to watch his every move. When he arrived at the shores of his radiolarian lake, he found it suspended above where the sky should be - and reaching with both of his arms, he brought it down.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Asher:_Conclusion|Duress and Egress - Asher: Conclusion]] ''</ref> | |||
