Wait, what?

Isn't Dust powering most, if not all, of the technology on Remnant? Are these things powered by plant Aura or something?

Also, if that's true, then Someone's theory about Penny's Aura being locked cannot be so, unless her weapons are Dust-free. Well... you could still ignite or blow up Dust, I guess. I mean, powder Dust is volatile enough to activate when sneezed on, and a crystal will explode if shot (shown not just in Ruby Rose, but also in Round One). It's possible that machines that utilize Dust as a fuel source could use it in a similar manner to gasoline or coal - ignite powder Dust in a controlled way.
