On one occasion, “she was handed the legendary [[Rubix Configuration]] that imprisoned the [[Celebite]]s, said to be impossible to solve”, and “solved it in seconds” such that “the Celebites hadn’t even finished putting on their chastity gear by the time they were freed”.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'') Tetra hadn't realised what would happen when she solved the Configuration, unaware that the Celebties had been “contained” within the Configuration for “centuries”. After being freed, the beings “went on to cause a very chaste brand of havoc across the universe”, for which reason Tetra avoided bragging about her intellectual feat in solving the puzzle, no matter how remarkable it was.
