===Space Travel/Reproduction===
Before beginning the Cycles, the entities reproduced exponentially, and on at least 170 different occasions managed to overcrowd every version of their planet across every reality, a number of worlds exceeding the number of particles in a single universe.<ref name="I26" /> It is unknown if their current method of reproduction with the Cycles is faster or slower, but it is known that there are a vast number of entities across the multiverse despite starting from just two at the beginning. In an analogue, it is compared to spreading glass marbles across the whole of Canada, standing in a random spot and throwing another marble, and the marble will pass within a foot of one of them no matter what.<ref> Discord conversation with Wildbow, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/worm-quotes-and-wog-repository.294448/page-15#post-27981940| archived] on Spacebattles</ref>

When entities are ready to leave a planet and propagate, they form protective shells and reorganize themselves so that they wrap around countless versions of the target planet, forming a complex shape that weaves in and out of the various realities. Then, they draw all the energy from every version of the world at once and focus it into a single reality, generating an explosion with such force that it shatters the planet within that reality. The power of this explosion is channeled into all of the other realities as well through the interdimensional connections generated by the entities, resulting in every other version of the planet detonating as well.

The force of the detonation is such that it shatters the entities, sending fragments flying through space, with each fragment becoming a miniature entity with all the memories and knowledge of their parent. Originally, this process was uncontrolled, with the detonation destroying many of the fragments and haphazardly flinging out many more, with only a slim chance of taking root on viable worlds. Later, this process became more streamlined, destroying fewer or none of the fragments in the blast. Certain entities like the [[Warrior Entity|Warrior]] and [[Thinker]] entities employed more refined travel methods like gravity-warping and space-warping abilities to steer their fragments toward habitable worlds with the guidance of precognition.

The Warrior and Thinker lineage mainly reproduced and traveled in pairs, though some of their offspring gathered into trios instead, and the Loner travelled by itself.<ref>But her attention was on the first.  She felt it reach out and connect with another that shared a similar trajectory.  Still more were doing the same, pairing off.  Forming into trios, in some cases, but most chose to form pairs. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.x]]</ref> Pairs of these entities moved in spirals while maintaining a measured distance from one another. [[Abaddon]] traveled using a different means, mostly using momentum to move and only changing course when it needed to, as doing so expended vast amounts of energy.
