Cyclock (925th Universe): Difference between revisions

The [[925th Universe]] was home to a version of '''the [[Cyclock]]s''', beings “hand-crafted by the [[Guardians of Time]] themselves” to “watch over the timelines of many universes”.  

[[Tetra-None Hepta-Oct (925th Universe)|Tetra-None Hepta-Oct]] was a Cyclock, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'') appearing as a humanoid with a single eye, “skin similar to that of a boiled egg”, and silver hair. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') Tetra had the ability to see through time, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') meaning she could gaze into the future to determine where someone would eventually locate a missing item, and tell them early. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'') She sometimes had visions about her own future, which she subsequently felt compelled to carry out. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There (novel)|Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There]]'': ''[[Tetra-None Hepta-Oct and Doctor Know-It-All Talk it Out (short story)|Tetra-None Hepta-Oct and Doctor Know-It-All Talk it Out]]'') She came to work for the [[M.F.S. Scottish Division]] on [[Earth]] after being compelled to leave [[Cyclock homeworld (925th Universe)|her homeworld]] for emphatically vague “''reasons''”. She had trouble acclimatising to human life, as her homeworld's culture didn't include concepts from “living in linear time” to gender, with the closest equivalent to the latter being [[time signature]]s.
