On the eve of the 4th Great Modron March, the Modrons of Lagligious prepared for their epic journey across the planes. Orders were passed down from Pentadrones to Quadrones, then to Tridrones, and eventually to Duodrones, informing the Monodrones to make the necessary preparations. Typical Modron stuff. However, despite the preparations, the Modron March was abruptly cancelled for the Modrons of Lagligious. The march proceeded successfully for all the other Modrons of Mechanus, with almost 13% of them surviving and returning to Home.
This day became known as the Glitch, marking the loss of the Lagligious Modrons’ connection to Primus and their ability to be reborn in Regulus. However, amidst the loss, they discovered something remarkable: free will. With new-found autonomy, one Modron devised a plan, unbound by the rigid Modron hierarchy. They realized that if they wanted to ascend to the next form, they should take matters into their own hands. But there was a catch. Primus was responsible for promoting Monodrones to Duodrones, Duodrones to Tridrones, and so on. To overcome this obstacle, the resourceful Modron began repairing and upgrading themselves, gradually evolving from Monodrone to Pentadrone.
