Cyclock (925th Universe)

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. (PROSE: 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: Tetra-None Hepta-Oct and Doctor Know-It-All Talk it Out)

Tetra came to work for the M.F.S. Scottish Division on Earth after being compelled to leave her homeworld for emphatically vague “reasons” (PROSE: Open Sourcing (2024 reedit)) which saw her being “exiled from her people”. Though recognised as an above-average example of her kind, she had not been particularly high-ranking in Cyclock society. (PROSE: Good Crieff: The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (2024 reedit)) 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 signatures. (PROSE: Open Sourcing (2024 reedit)) On one occasion, Jenny Over-There also got the sense that Tetra was absent-mindedly trying to initiate a psychic connection with her before belatedly realising her human conversation partner couldn't reciprocate this form of communication. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events (2024 reedit))
