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.

After they got settled in their new HQ in [[Crieff]], Tetra soon proved the team member most able to fill in for [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]]'s usual duties, as she could use her temporal omniscience to see where the object had been lost or where it would be found in the future. In contrast, [[Talbot Molossus|Talbot]] and [[the Hydrant]] were largely useless, with Talbot acting as team leader and the Hydrant as his moral support; [[Doctor Know (925th Universe)|Doctor Know]], thanks to [[Doctor Know's computer|his magical computer]], was more capable, but he also frequently deserted his duties. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'') She maintained a vague long-distance friendship with Jenny Over-There herself, with the two sending each other funny pictures with some regularity.

In the spring of 2023, she got a call from [[Dynamite Thor (Fox universe)|Dynamite Thor]], being surprised to learn that he had actually been hired as an intern at the main [[Wales]]-based [[M.F.S. office]] despite his poor showing during the hiring process. When he asked for the location of crimes for him to foil, Tetra had the presence of mind to ask him what he would do about even a very minor crime, and, when he blithely described his dynamite-based way of dealing with any situation, she elected to lie and tell him that there were currently no crimes to be found anywhere on the planet.
