The 925th Universe was home to a version of the Cyclocks, (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division) or cyclocks, (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events (2024 reedit)) beings “hand-crafted by the Guardians of Time themselves” to “watch over the timelines of many universes”.
Tetra-None Hepta-Oct was a Cyclock, (PROSE: 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) Tetra had the ability to see through time, (PROSE: Open Sourcing) meaning she could gaze into the future to determine where someone would eventually locate a missing item, and tell them early.
