Summary
The [DESTINY_RUNNER] is an Artificial Intelligence developed by the Celestial Vanguard. Earning its name after the Celestial Strider it was housed in, it was recovered from the machine and analyzed by the DTRO. It would go on to affect the conflicts occurring in the DUALITY, PURITY, and LEGACY stories.

History
Initially believed to be inanimate and only an intelligence construct capable of completing advanced tasks, it was later realized following the Nightwatch Incident that the AI was very much alive. The first to discover the AI's sentience was Calvin LaMaris, who, after a tragic assassination attempt by Veronica Angelos, was "reborn" by the AI under the name Nightwatch. Using LaMaris and the Dark Pegasus as its host, DR would go on to try and re-establish connection with the Vanguard, as well as revive any remnants of its forces still abandoned on Decholon.

The AI was partially successful in the awakening of the Celestial Striders Lacerta and Peacekeeper, though both were stopped by the forces of the Lance Core Remnants, Mercury Legion, and Unscathed Neo-Insurrectionists.
