We've seen the many journeys of Neas, the Gladiator of Gallifrey, across the Infinite DC. But what about their father, Aznavorian the Tinkerer? What journeys have these men and women led in, around, and outside the lives of Neas? The incarnations of...
"Did things just go from bad to worse?" Mireya had to ask, seeing the Terminator standing across from them. She would've fawned over how much sexier he looked in black leather and sunglasses, if it weren't for two things: 1) he was a killing machine, and 2) HAL was the one in control of it.

"Say what?" Mireya cringed, turning to her predecessor. She quickly realized what she meant when she noticed how Rania's animated form did in fact appear much closer in detail to her true-to-life form. The same had happened to Mireya herself and Kristin as well. Mireya knew exactly what had caused this: "A massive shift in spatial quality."

"Killing Craig," Mireya hissed.
"What?!" Little Craig shrieked. "This guy's gonna kill me?!"

Kristin stood in front of him, shielding him. "No, he won't, sweetheart." Glaring at HAL, she told the machine, "Listen here, homie, I don't know what your beef with this lil' fella is, but the thought of you killing him – a kid, no less – pisses me right the hell off." She was joined by Rania and Mireya, all three women blocking Little Craig from HAL's view; each of them prepared to defend the 8-year-old.
