The Hydra chassis common to many Vex Axis Minds boasts impressive computational capacity. Sekrion likely uses this capacity to regulate coordination and crosstalk between Minotaurs operating in the construction role. | The [[Hydra]] chassis common to many Vex Axis Minds boasts impressive computational capacity.

To speak of Atheon is to accept certain limitations. We are ill-equipped to understand an entity that defies simple causality.
