Is there a reason the beta kid's guardians seemed to know so much of what was happening when the world ended, and/or do you think hiveswap will shine more light on that?

Grandpa Harley owned and Mom Lalonde worked at Skaianet which is the company that made the Sburb Beta so that probably accounts for them.

Dad Egbert didn’t really seem like he knew much and was just good at rolling with the punches.

Bro Strider is an enigma.
