The implication is that Asher, whose arm turned to that of a Vex after being captured by Vex enemies long ago, has survived within the Vex network. This network could be likened to a metaverse in that he may exist as an avatar or in a space between technology and the real world. The Vex themselves are living beings, despite also being robotic in form.
